2024-12-22 20:02:17"Oh, thank God you're here." Domnic exclaimed as he approached Richard. "Yes, Young Master." Richard faked a smile as he looked back to the irritating nurse. He had walked in on them having an argument, and he heard how she had referred to his Young Master as a lowlife wretched scumbag. He was infuriated by how she disrespected his Young Master. And even more angered by the fact that Domnic wasn't reacting to it. Does it mean she had always been this way with him? Has his Young Master always been getting bullied like this?
No. He wouldn't let this go at all. He would just have to teach her a lesson. With that in mind, Richard left the money to his young master while he went in to see the doctor. As though luck fate would have it, the hospital itself was being sponsored by the Donovan family, and they dared disrespect the young master of the family. His young master could have their hospital shut down with just one word. He turned by a corridor and headed to the doctors office but then lucky enough for him; the doctor was just outside his office, speaking to a few patients. "Excuse me, doctor. I need to speak with you immediately." Richard said to him immediately, in a cold, nonchalant tone. The doctor, on seeing him, knew that he had to be from a rich and noble family. "Ah.... sir, there's no problem with that. You all go back. Go back to your wards." he immediately dismissed the patients and invited Richard to talk inside his office. The doctor also seemed to be one who worshipped the rich and trampled on the disadvantaged. He had a few white hairs on his head and seemed to be struggling to maintain his stamina. He was obviously soon giving into his age, and his body must be giving up on him. Once they were in the office, he gestured for Richard to take the seat opposite him, and he did. "So what brings you to my office, sir?" he asked with a smile. "First, i'd like to introduce myself. I am Richard Dawson. A butler of the Donovan family." "Ah!" the doctor exclaimed upon hearing the name of the family. He hurriedly got up and welcomed him more. "Si-... si-... sir, i never knew someone from the mighty Donovan family would be coming to visit us. I'm sorry i'd have made preparations had i known. Where are my manners? i should give you a drink -" "That would be unnecessary, doctor. I am present here today because the Heir of the Donovan family's mother is admitted to your hospital, and the bills needed to be offsetted. Which has now been settled. But, doctor, i have a complaint." Richard said seriously. "Th-... the heir? ah... sir, what complaint? Whatever it is will be resolved right this instant." The doctor said seriously. "A nurse here spoke to the young master of the Donovan family disrespectfully. Even referring to him as a 'lowlife wretched scumbag'." The doctor's face turned pale white upon hearing this. "A-... a nurse called the son of Mr. Donovan a-.... a lowlife?" The doctor echoed Richard's words, waiting for clarification, and Richard nodded blankly. The doctor's eyes widened in shock as he broke out in cold sweat. "I-I apologize, Richard. Please forgive us. Please, I'll call her i. Make her apologize to both you and Young Master. Please forgive us." Richard's expression remained stern. "Then do so." The doctor scrambled as he used the phone and began pushing the buttons on it. He suddenly stopped as he realized, "What patient, sir?" "I believe her name is Ameilia Steinfield. Diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy." The doctors eyes widened further as he realized that it meant the poor wrecthed kid Domnic was actually the son of Mr. Donovan." The doctor with a trembling nurse called the nurse and Dominic into his office. After about a few minutes, Dominic walks into the office with the nurse behind him. The doctor fell to his knees immediately, begging. "Please, Mr. Dominic, forgive us. We didn't know about your real identity. Please have mercy. And you! Apologize!" The nurse, still clueless, muttered under her breath. "apologize to this useless fool? Has he gone nuts?". The doctor's slap was swift and sharp, leaving her crying out in pain. "Kneel and apologize to Mr. Dominic. Now! or you can pack up your things and leave this hospital," the doctor ordered, his voice firm. The nurse, tears streaming down her face, knelt before Dominic immediately. "I-I'm so sorry, sir. Please forgive me." Dominic eyes widened in shock at the scene unfolding in front of him. Why were they suddenly apologizing? What did Richard do?. "It's okay, really. Just treat my mom well, please." The doctor nodded, still on his knees. "Your mother will receive the best care, free of charge. I promise. And for insulting you, she will get punished accordingly." The nurse looked towards the doctor in shock but kept mute. Dominic managed to convince the doctor that he held no grudges, but the doctor still went ahead to strip the rude nurse of her job. The nurse did her best to beg Dominic even harder just to keep her job, but the doctor's heart was hardened, and he didn't take her back in. As they walked out of the office, Dominic leaned in and asked Richard, "What happened in there? What did you say to the doctor that got him so frightened?" Richard placed a hand on Dominic's shoulder. "You see,Young Master Dominic, as the new chairman of the Empire of Commerce, you hold great power. You can determine which companies succeed or fail. You now control over half of the city's economy." "Oh... i see." was all he said as they continued making their way to Dominic's mother's ward. They finally got to the door, and Dominic slowly opened it to find her still in her comatose state. They walked over to where she lay, and as soon as Dominic laid his hand on hers, he felt a slight movement. "Young Master Dominic, I think she's awake."

Dominic's heart raced as he saw his mother's fingers move. This was the first movement she's made in 2 weeks. She was finally waking up. "Young Master Dominic, I think she's awake," Richard said, his voice filled with cautious hope.Dominic leaned closer to his mother. "Mom? Can you hear me?" he whispered, his voice trembling as he tried to tap on her as lightly as possible.But before there could be any more signs of life, her hand went still again. She fell asleep again. Dominic's hope crashed down. He turned to Richard, his eyes pleading. "Get the doctor. Now."Richard nodded and hurried out of the room. Dominic stayed by his mother’s side, holding her hand tightly. "Please wake up, Mom... please." But there was no response now. "Mom, I've just found out about everything. About my father and your relationship with him. Can you believe he transferred all his wealth to me?" Dominic continued, hoping she would make even if the tiniest bit of movement to show him that she was listenin

"Prepare for what exactly Young Master Dominic?" Richard asked. "I get to choose what family gets to join the Empire Of Commerce, right?" Dominic asked for clarification. "And you also get to choose who leaves Young Master." Richard replied. "Interesting...... Do we have a list of the ones aiming to join?" He asked again. "Yes, we do." With that, Richard brought out unlocked his tab, which he seemed to always carry around. He tapped on the screen a few times before handing the tab over to Dominic. Dominic skimmed through the names. There were really a lot of families looking to join, and why wouldn't they?.After leaving the office, Dominic made his way to Sophia's home. He didn't go in his flashy car but hailed a taxi instead.

Dominic sat on the couch, rubbing his temples as Sophia glared at him. Her arms were crossed tightly across her chest, and her mouth was set in a thin line.“So, do you have any idea what you’ve just done?” Sophia’s voice was a cold, hard whisper, like she was barely keeping her anger under control.Dominic looked up, trying to offer her a soft smile. “Morning to you, too.”“Don’t ‘morning’ me, Dominic.” She narrowed her eyes, shaking her head. “You think you’re funny? Because you’re not. You’ve managed to embarrass me. Again.”He sighed, leaning back against the couch. “Look, I was just trying to help. I didn’t think it would be a big deal.”Sophia laughed bitterly, the sound echoing through the room. “Not a big deal? You told my grandmother that you’d get us membership at the Empire of Commerce.

Dominic leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching Grandma White with a calm expression. “You don’t have to like me, Grandma, but I’m the reason you’re now members of the Empire of Commerce.”Gregory let out a loud laugh, clapping his hands mockingly. “You? Dominic, are you drunk? Or are you just delusional?”“I’m neither,” Dominic replied coolly. “I’m just stating facts.”Gregory shook his head, smirking as he turned to the others. “This guy… I fired him just last week! Jobless and still full of shit. What do you think he’s doing now, flipping burgers?”The room erupted into snickers. Grandma White narrowed her eyes at Dominic. “So, you’re not only jobless, but you’ve also turned into a liar. Perfect. I knew you were no good.”“I’m not lying,” Dominic said, his voice steady. “You can confirm it yourselves.”Grandma White snorted. “Oh, please.

Come on.”She crossed her arms, shaking her head.“Let’s be honest,” she continued, glancing at Dominic with disdain. “There’s no way he got us into the Empire of Commerce.

knock knockDominic nervously knocked on Mr. Gregory's office door. His heart raced with anxiety as he did, not knowing what to really expect. He had been thinking about this moment for weeks but never had enough courage to do it. He stared at his shaky hand and held it down, his heart pacng irregularly as he struggled to settle down his breathing."Come in," came the rapsy irritated voice of Mr. Gregory, Dominic's boss. Dominic took a deep breath as he entered the office. He walked further in and met with a pair of brown eyes. He averted his gaze from them and kept his eyes to the ground about five meters from where he stood. "G-... good morning, sir. May I have a word with you?"Mr. Gregory looked up from his papers, a hint of annoyance in his eyes. "What do you want, Dominic? Make it quick."Dominic swallowed hard, cold sweat slowly appeared on his forehead as he managed to say his next words. "Well.... sir, I-...

"Young master, I've finally found you," the strange man said and gave a slight bow to show respect. "Young what?" Dominic asked, completely confused about who this man was. A few other men also came out of the car, and not one of them seemed familiar to Dominic at all. Who were these people? Had they mistaken him for someone else?"Young master, please let me help you up." The strange man offered and extended his hand, but Dominic didn't take it. These people seem like they must work for a multi billionare, and he didn't want to mess with the rich. Instead, he asked, "What's going on? Who are you people?"The man smiled softly. "My name is Richard Dawson, the butler for the Donovan family. And you, young man, are the son of our late patriarch, Mr. Donovan." Dominic was even more confused now.

Donovan felt dizzy upon hearing such an amount. He felt like this had to be some sort of dream, and if it was, then he hell damn never wanted to wake up from it. As they walked up to the enormous estate, Dominic couldn't believe his eyes.The villa was like a palace, with tall pillars at the entrance and a grand staircase leading up to massive doors. There were a lot of maids and servants moving about and doing their jobs. They would all stop and greet both him and Richard as they passed by them. "Is this really mine?" Dominic asked in disbelief.Richard nodded, "Yes, Young Master Dominic, this is all yours now. Your dad's legacy."They walked through the house, and Dominic saw luxurious rooms filled with expensive furniture and artwork. Richard showed him the garage next, which housed a collection of sleek sports cars and luxury vehicles.
