James was quickly rushed to Skycare, one of the finest hospitals owned by the Wane's family in Emerald Falls. This hospital is known far and wide for its top-notch care. It's a place where doctors are experts at their job. Immediately, James was offered into a very special ward meant only for the rich, the doctors began working really hard to treat James' injuries and revive him. Lana remains by his bedside the whole time and day as the doctors do their thing. She sits next to his hospital bed even when the doctors asked her to leave. Her heart was fuming with both anger and fear as James remained unconscious. She would not understand why people could be so wicked and heartless. Her mind drifted off to what she would possibly do to the people responsible for this. She must make sure they face the wrath of the law for doing these horrible things to her little cousin, she thought. She could not quite understand why James pretended not to know her at the station. But since he ga
Eric walked into James' hospital room, he wore a puzzled expression. He wasn't quite sure why he was here or what to say to James, but he was here anyway.Running a company was something he had never done before, and he felt a bit out of place.His life had been tough. Unlike James, who came from a wealthy family. Eric came from a lower class family and not much is known about them. But the chance James gave him was like a lifetime opportunity. It was a way to make his family's life better no matter how little the opportunity would be, he will forever be grateful to James.He used to live in a tiny apartment with his wife, Mary, and their only daughter, Claire. They didn't have much money. They struggled to pay bills, especially because Claire was sick with cancer and she spent most of her life in local hospitals. Unlike his colleagues, Eric was a good police officer. Even when others tried to make him do bad things for money or give him bribes, he always said no. That's why James t
After the third day of being in hospital, James decided to leave even though he was not fully recovered. His body was still weak from the injuries, but he wanted to deal with those who neglected and harmed him.Lana advises him to take more time to recover, but James is resolute. He believes that those responsible for his condition are free, and he needs to teach them a lesson."I can't wait any longer. They're out there, free, thinking they've won. I need to get them arrested and teach them a lesson.""But you need more time to heal. Rushing back now might not be the best idea," she advised with genuine worry in her eyes.James wanted to heed her advice but at the same time, he thought it would make his whole plan not work.He needed to be there to witness the Sterling's arrest."Besides, Eric needs help. He cannot run the company alone. I need to assist him."Lana sighed, understanding the fire within James. She knew how stubborn he could be when it came to decision-making. And so
It was Jaxon who asked James where he was going, and as James turned, he caught sight of Jaxon and Alisha approaching his direction. The two were holding hands like teenage lovers on a first date.Jaxon and Alisha were surprised to see him back so soon, they thought he was going to spend about three months in the hospital to get fully recovered.Alisha didn't even care to visit him or ask about his health when he was in the hospital. Her mind had been poisoned against him, and her hatred for him had increased."Didn't you hear him, you bone-head? Or are you becoming deaf now!"James responded calmly to them, "As you can see, I've been offered a job here, and I'm just resuming work."Alisha, who was now the manager of the company, was quick to question him. "Speaking of work, do you know what time it is? Are you supposed to be coming to work at this late hour?"She didn't bother checking her watch, all she wanted was to mistreat James. He was now working under her, she seized the oppor
Meanwhile, in the Carl family house, Pa Aaron and Ma Pat had gathered the entire Carl family and their well wishers to celebrate and honor Alisha for her promotion at work.They wanted to thank her because Jaxon's father, Mr. Thomas Sterling, had made a generous promise. He guaranteed employment for every Carl family member, regardless of their qualifications. The catch was that they would become "ghost workers" and receive a monthly paycheck without actually working.This promise from Mr. Thomas Sterling was the talk of the family, and they eagerly anticipated the financial benefits that would soon come their way.This would be the highest achievement that anyone from the Carl family has ever gotten.And in no time, their family social status will increase in Emerald Falls.Every member of Carl's family was present for the celebration.The big room where they had the celebration was all lit up with cozy, yellow lights hanging from the ceiling. There were these long tables with clean
"Why are you calling me by this time, you godforsaken old cargo?" Mr. Sterling sneered, with disdain over the phone and loudspeaker.Everyone could hear him loud and clear. Pa Aaron's heart sank as he heard Mr. Thomas Sterling's voice thundering through the phone. The powerful businessman was clearly furious. What could have gone wrong?Pa Aaron felt very embarrassed but knew he had to respond with humility to salvage the situation. "I... I'm deeply sorry, Mr. Sterling. It's just that everyone here was getting impatient, and I thought… I thought that…"Mr. Sterling interrupted him, not willing to hear what he wanted to say. "You thought? You thought?! Do you know what you and your beggar family have caused my family?"The family members seated in a corner couldn't understand what was happening and why Mr. Thomas Sterling was so furious with their father, Pa Aaron."I deeply regret any inconvenience this call must have caused, you, Mr. Sterling.""And you still dare call to invite me
James kept walking closer to where every member of the Carl family was seated.He was beside himself with joy as he saw the gloomy faces of everyone. He smiled inwardly to himself.But before he could get any closer, Henry got up and tried to push him."Hey son of a b*tch what are you doing here? You have got guts to be here right now."James quickly held his hands and pushed him aside and proceeded to where everyone was seated.Henry staggered and then fell to the ground because of how hard James pushed him."How dare you push my son, you jerk?" Kate cried out. "You have the guts to lay your filthy hands on him…"Kpai! She slapped James across the face but James was too quick and dodge the slap."Yes, and I'll do it again." James interrupted her and continued to walk towards them.The remaining people who were still around were stunned, and those who were deciding to leave decided to wait and watch how everything would play out."Look! It's the Carl family's used to be good for not
All the men in the Carl's family gathered around James, ready to show him a lesson he would never forget in his entire existence, even in his next life.But unknown to them, James had managed to signal the head of the ESU agents who was outside the gate with his companions. Quickly, they made their way into the main compound where everyone was. "Stop!"A commanding voice suddenly interrupted the whole members of the Carl family who had now hooked James by the collar. Everyone turned to see what was happening, and they were surprised and at the same time shocked to their bone marrow! The violence came to a halt as they all realized who the unexpected visitors were.ESU Agents? Their sudden appearance at this moment only means that there is going to be more trouble! Could it be that Mr Sterling had sent them to get the whole family arrested?The few remaining guests couldn't believe their eyes. It was evident that the Carl family had gotten themselves into a heap of trouble for cross
