The First Son's Revenge 47
Daniel looked at his son, quite surprised at how serious Liam's expression was. Even though all this time, Liam has never been serious about work in the office. Daniel just let his youngest son behave as he pleased because at that time it was thanks to Reid that all of Liam's work was completed well.But after Reid left, Daniel began to see how wrong he had been in letting Liam act as he pleased. At least if Liam wants to have fun, he has to know how to make money. At least Liam should be a worthy successor to the Cliffton family. But until now, Liam is just a useless kid who can't work. Then suddenly now Liam asks to be given a big responsibility?How could Daniel possibly agree to that?As if he could see the doubt in his father's gaze, Liam said again, "This time I will prove to you that I can really be responsible, dad."“What makes you want to do this? Do you still not realize who owns the Arison company now? He's Reid, and I'm sure this is all just a trap," Daniel replied."Whet

Liam stuttered, looking confused about answering Reid's question this time. Different from before when he smoothly answered all of Reid's questions.The corners of Reid's lips lifted, grinning. He had already guessed that Liam's brilliant answers were not the result of Liam's own thoughts."What's wrong, Liam? Can't you answer that?” Reid asked casually."It is not like that. I'm just a bit confused. Besides, you keep asking the Cliffton company, why don't you ask the Winston company or the Foster company? They're not just here as spectators," Liam replied bravely. The hell with who Reid is here, what's certain is that Liam won't let himself be humiliated."Mr. Foster, what do you think about the question I asked earlier?" Reid turned to the head of the Foster company.The leader answered smoothly. Getting a satisfied nod from Reid."Now it's your turn, Mr. Winston," said Reid to the chairman of the Winston company. And just like the head of the foster company, Mr. Winston answered sm

Meanwhile at the Cliffton residence, Mrs Cliffton, none other than Abigail, was seen pacing in the living room.He continued to stare at the clock on the wall which was getting increasingly late."Where's Daniel? Why he hasn't come home until now?" Abigail muttered.Usually Daniel rarely works overtime. Her husband always came home on time, never less and rarely more. Only at certain times does Daniel come home at night to work overtime, and usually Daniel will let Abigail know. But this time, Daniel didn't give any news, nor did he pick up Abigail's phone when she tried to contact him."Could it be that the company's condition is getting worse?" Abigail asked herself.Even though the previous atmosphere in the company was already chaotic since the news about Liam cheating was published in the newspaper, so how could it be even more chaotic?In fact, the condition of the Cliffton company was so bad that Abigail didn't dare to come to the dinner with her group of socialites which was h

After his conversation with Charles, Reid left the family library and went to his room. However, on his way he saw that his grandfather was in the living room, sitting on a wide and sturdy sofa chair.From his sitting position, Jacob stared straight at the family photo hanging on the wall near the decorative urn. In the photo there are Jacob and his wife, and their only child, Claire.Reid took a breath before deciding to approach his grandfather.“It's so late, why isn't grandpa asleep yet? Didn't Doctor Tyler tell Grandpa to get enough rest?" Reid said when he arrived beside his grandfather.Jacob smiled slowly. He sat holding his cane. “I actually rested too much so I couldn't sleep. So I decided to sit here.""Should I call Doctor Tyler to check on these insomnia symptoms?"“Don't worry about me, Reid. I'm fine. In a moment I will return to my room to rest. By the way, how is the company? Did everything go smoothly?” Jacob asked.“Everything went smoothly. The kei car project I'm

MORNING AT THE CLIFFTON COMPANYThere was a man sitting in a cubicle in the marketing division. The desk in the cubicle was so small that it could only accommodate the computer and keyboard, and even the coffee mug had to be jostle with the mouse.In contrast to the cubicles which have minimal space, the appearance of the employees sitting in their chairs actually looks expensive and classy. The jacket draped over the back of the chair looked like it had been designed by a famous designer, and the watch around the employee's wrist was from a big brand.The employee's appearance seemed in sharp contrast to his workplace. The employee was none other than Liam Cliffton.Since the case about Liam cheating on the Kei Car project emerged to the public, Daniel Cliffton (head of the Cliffton company and Liam's own father) immediately demoted Liam's position.Liam, who previously held the prestigious position of manager, has now become a lowly staff member in the marketing division.

As Charles Brown said to Anastasia Waverly, the reason Reid Arison didn't come to the office even though he had an important meeting was because he was taking care of his sick wife.After several days of being treated in hospital, the doctor allowed Elena to go home. Apart from experiencing a miscarriage, Elena suffered an injury to her left arm. Luckily her arm didn't break any bones, so her arm didn't need to be put in a cast.Even so, the doctor said that Elena's movements over the next two weeks will definitely be limited, so as much as possible someone should help Elena in carrying out daily activities that require movement of the left arm.Reid, who heard the doctor's words, immediately agreed. "There are many servants in our house who will definitely help her," said Reid.The doctor nodded, not doubting the number of servants in the arison residence which must be countless.Arriving at Arison's residence, Reid immediately gave instructions to several female servants to serve El

Charles Brown leaned back towards Anastasia Waverly, making the woman take a step back because she felt uncomfortable with their close proximity."You are wrong. You don't know who Mr. Arison really is, so everything you say is just your shallowly knowledge about Mr. Arison," said Charles in a sarcastic voice.For the first time, Charles openly shows that he hates Anastasia Waverly.Anastasia Waverly, who is used to receiving praise, certainly does not accept being called shallowly knowledgeable. She replied, “Then what is a real Reid Arison? Is he a person of great and noble character?” Anastasia Waverly again uses a dismissive tone.Charles Brown clenched his jaw. "There's no point in me telling you. From the start you've hated Mr. Arison, so whatever I say about Mr. Arison, you won't believe it," said Charles, then he straightened his body and got up to leave."Wait!" Anastasia Waverly exclaimed while chasing Charles Brown. Because she was in a hurry, Anastasia Waverly didn't pay a

Megan widened her eyes at her daughter's words. Cold sweat started to trickle down her temples.“W-what did you say? I conspired with Harry to harm you? Gosh, Elena, I'm your real mother, how could I do something like that! Just because now you are the wife of a rich Arison, you can be as impudent as you want to be with your mother!" Megan shouted angrily.But instead of feeling guilty about being scolded like that by her mother, Elena just chuckled softly. “Mom, after years of being your child, I know how you lie. You always cover it up by getting angry and shouting louder—like now.”Megan widened her eyes. Her hands were clenched in anger. Why did the situation turn out like this? Where's Elena, her daughter who is usually very easily influenced? Why is Elena suddenly so defiant like this? Ah, damn it, why didn't everything go according to her plans with Harry?Annoyed by feeling cornered, Megan again raised her hand to hit Elena, but this time, even without Reid's help, Elena herse

When Elena woke up, memories immediately flooded her.She remembered what happened before everything went dark. A car speeding behind her, a loud crash that shook her, and darkness that dragged her along.All these memories made Elena's body jolt and open her eyes.Elena was immediately greeted by pain all over her body. Elena wasn't even sure whether she could move her arm, whether it was because she was weak and didn't have the strength or something else, Elena wasn't sure. But one thing she was sure of, she felt her stomach was empty.“What happened to my baby?” Elena asked directly. She saw Reid's figure sitting in a chair next to her bed.Reid didn't respond with words. The man just shook his head slightly with an expression full of sorrow.Without needing to explain further, Elena already understood what he meant. Their baby did not survive.Elena immediately closed her eyes. Tears fell down her cheeks. Sobs escaped her lips, until then her body shook from the flood of thunderou

Hearing Harry's words made Megan smile. She also wants Reid destroyed. But one thought disturbed her."But don't you think that the child Elena is carrying could be our access to Arison's wealth? In other words, Elena is now pregnant with the future heir to the Arison family. Wouldn't it be more profitable for us to let the baby live?" said Megan. She is fed up with living “simplely” since her husband's death. She wants to return to life filled with wealth, even with much more wealth than before. And Megan thinks one of the quickest ways to get rich is to control Arison's property.But Harry just snorted.“You don't need to think about Arison's assets anymore, mom. I already know how to get a lot of money without any effort," said Harry with a meaningful smile.Megan widened her eyes with interest. "Really?""Of course," said Harry with a smug smile. “Now my only goal is to take revenge on Reid. I will make him suffer for the death of Brian and father," said Harry in a determined ton

Elena paced back and forth in front of Reid's study door, still considering whether she should come in or not.She had intended to apologize to Reid, but after hearing Charles' conversation in the kitchen, Elena felt even more guilty towards Reid. And that made her not dare to go in to meet the man, even though she had to go in, right?“Charles, what are you hanging around there for? Come in!" Reid's voice shouted from inside the room, making Elena jump in surprise.Reid must have seen the shadow of her feet on the door and thought she was his personal assistant.Because her whereabouts were already known—even though it was false—it made Elena feel like she had no choice to back out. Elena opened the door to Reid's study slowly.Reid seemed to be leaning back in his work chair with his eyes closed. Elena was sure Reid wasn't asleep yet because the man had just spoken."Get the files on the table," Reid ordered, still closing his eyes.Elena blinked. So Reid still thinks she is Charles

The next morningA head chef was seen serving special food to a long table in the dining room. There were so many kinds of dishes on the table that people who saw it would definitely think that there was a grand banquet in this house. Unfortunately no.Only one person will eat at the dining table, namely the head of the house, Reid Arison.Yes, this is the Arison residence. And the head chef on duty was none other than Belinda Caleste, the maid who was once Reid's spy who was stationed at Clark's residence.After being fired from the Clark residence by Elena, of course Belinda returned to the Arison residence, where she originally worked. In that place, Belinda's position was head chef.“The food is delicious, as usual. Thank you, Belinda," said Reid, who had just eaten the food Belinda made.Belinda smiled. Then the fertile woman said, “Should I call Mrs. Elena is here? I'm sure this food will taste better if eaten together.” Belinda felt sad about the various kinds of food that she

The news about Reid dropping the charges against Harry Clark also reached the ears of the Waverly family. John Waverly and his daughter, Anastasia Waverly, became furious when they heard this. Moreover, they knew that the murder planned by Brian and Harry was not only to harm Reid but also Amanda - even though at that time the plan failed because Amanda had hired people to pretend to be her and Reid. That automatically makes Harry an enemy of the Waverly family too.John and Anastasia could immediately guess why Reid wanted to free Harry, it must be because Reid had just married Elena, Raynold Clark's youngest daughter. Automatically Reid is now also part of the Clark family.“Dad, this can't be left like that. Reid could have freed that criminal just because he married into one of the Clark family!" Anastasia exclaimed with suppressed annoyance. Her white cheeks turned red.Amanda's twin sister was pacing back and forth in her father's study.Usually at times like this when his daug
