Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 174: Orphanage
CHARLES, despite the fear he was feeling, was able to call for help as he saw his son being critically injured while the blood didn’t stop flowing on his head.His people brought him to the Remington Medical Center, and Charles couldn’t stop from shaking as August was placed on the stretcher. He was afraid that August would also leave him… Like Clementine.“Sir August!” Maxine called, gasping in shock when he saw August being unconscious. “Are you okay, sir?” she asked when her gaze moved onto Charles.“I-I’m fine…” answered Charles, slightly stammering as he could see the horrible past in August’s situation right now. “Do everything to save my son!”“We will, Sir,” Ma

“REPEAT what you just said. You’re messing up with me, aren’t you?” asked Charles in a stern and authoritative tone as he went to the same orphanage again after six years. “Why are you telling me my son isn’t here anymore? I left him here six years ago!”His heart almost fell out of his chest when he heard the news.Charles was known by everyone as a calm person. He knew how to handle things with authority and calmness at the same time, but now, as he stood up in front of the new owner of the orphanage, he couldn’t help but exclaim as he burst into a rage.“Please calm down, sir,” the new female young owner said as she moved her hands gently, telling Charles to stabilize his breathing. “That man you’re looking for was adopted a few days ago. Even if you try to find him in every corner of the place, you’ll never see him.”“Why is he placed for adoption in the first place?! I only told you to take care of him until I come back!”This time, Charles stomped his hands on the counter, hard,

SOME of the questions in August's mind had been answered, but at the same time, there were new questions where he needed to find the answer again. At this time, he was curious about whoever the traitor inside the mansion was, and if it was related to Harvey since he was the one who instructed Mateo to attack him on his first day staying at the Remington Mansion.No matter how hard August tried to sleep, he couldn’t, so he stopped trying. He stood up from the bed and went outside of his room to go to the garden and breathe some fresh air.He walked down the stairs and stopped when he was in front of Charles’ big painting located in the middle of the two brown stairs on both sides. In his back, there is another stair that would lead him to the ground floor.“Father, you look authoritative here, but no one knows what you’re really feeling inside…” said August in a sad tone. “You tried to act strong for all of us, even if it costs you your health.”August sighed. He knew that it was too

“WHO… who are you?” Cecile stammered, her voice quivering with fear, as she instinctively shielded August behind her. “Are you… one of them?” she managed to ask, her voice trembling but determined, desperately trying to project bravery.Standing before Cecile and August were a middle-aged couple, their hands tightly clasped together, fear evident in their eyes. The woman's brow furrowed with confusion as she responded, "What do you mean by 'them'? Who are you referring to? We heard there's an orphanage nearby. Could you please tell us where it is?"Cecile, her voice barely above a whisper, replied, "I know where it is, but the situation there is chaotic right now.”Her words were filled with concern, fearing that the men in black might discover where they are.Seconds later, her worst nightmare became a reality.“W-What was that? It’s gunshots, isn’t it?” the woman exclaimed, as she was on the verge of screaming, trembling in terror.But her husband held her firmly, preventing her fr

THE hours dragged on like an eternity as August anxiously awaited the arrival of sunrise. He wasn’t able to sleep again after talking to Rica.He badly wanted to wake Maxine from her slumber so he could ask her, but he knew all too well that she needed rest. The weight of her responsibilities at the Remington Company and caring for Charles had taken a toll on her.Despite his dwindling patience, August mustered the strength to wait. He knew he had to let Maxine complete her morning tasks before summoning her to his office.Finally, the moment arrived."Good morning, young master," Maxine greeted, bowing before August. "Is there anything you need me to do?""No," August replied, shaking his head. "I simply ha

“DAPHNE? Daphne,” August called his wife’s name twice, but silence now filled the other line. August glanced at his phone, only to see that the call was now disconnected.At this moment, he knew there was something wrong. He didn’t waste any time as he stood up, rushing to go back to the Sandoval mansion as fast as he could. He bowed in front of Clementine’s grave before he ran toward his car.When he sat in the driver’s seat, he stepped on the pedal as his heart thumped rapidly while thinking about what could have happened to Daphne.Fortunately, the traffic isn’t that bad, and August arrived at the Sandoval mansion in no time. He immediately went to their room to see if Daphne was there, and he sighed in relief when he saw Daphne sitting at the edge of the room, beside the vanity cabinet.Her face was buried in her thighs as she hugged her thighs tightly, so he couldn’t see her face. August’s head tilted because it seemed like Daphne noticed his arrival since the door created a noi

“WHAT is it?” Sapphire asked on the other line, confused.Sapphire was preparing for her upcoming meeting with some of their clients, and she was about to tell that to August when she answered the call. However, the sense of urgency and authority on August’s voice stopped her from doing that.At the same time, Sapphire wondered what kind of favor August would ask her this time.However, August didn’t answer immediately. He suddenly realized that he was outside the room, and someone might be eavesdropping onto their conversation. He must be extra careful, knowing that the employees here would always be loyal to their boss.“Wait a second,” August said as he went back to their room and closed the door. A smile formed onto his face when he saw Daphne, still sleeping peacefully.“So… What is it?” Sapphire asked again.“You have secret properties, right?” August asked, revealing one of the alas he knew about Sapphire. “Like some houses that were not listed on the market and are property o

“I’M right. He's the fucking common link,” muttered August, referring to Wesley Wellington, as he read the article published decades ago.[Wesley Wellington took the Saintheart Hospital's former employees and directors after the arson that happened in the said hospital.]“What was that?” Daphne asked, confused, as she looked at August with her narrowed eyes. “Why are you searching for a closed hospital?““You know this hospital?” asked August as he pointed at the screen.“Who wouldn't?” Daphne shot back, raising a brow. “They became the hottest topic before because of the arson, not to mention that Clementine Remington died that day, too.”August didn't answer; he pursed his lips instead, containing his emotions. He continued reading the article, and Daphne did the same thing.[Wesley Wellington said in his exclusive interview that he found it unfair for the Saintheart Hospital's employees to be terminated for an accident they cannot control.]“Is the Saintheart Hospital somehow invol
