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. Daniel als

When he finally arrived at his office room, Reid immediately turned around, knowing that behind him there must be Charles Brown following him."Charles, have you found the whereabouts of the former head of the household assistant 30 years ago at the Arison residence?" Reid asked in a stiff voice."I have found it. Peterson is currently retired and lives with his extended family," answered Charles, who carried out Reid's orders as quickly as he could.Reid nodded. "Then let's go there now," said Reid in a round tone.Meanwhile, Reid's personal assistant frowned. "Young master, soon you have an important meeting with business relations, there's no way you-"“Cancel the meeting. Set the time for tomorrow morning," Reid interrupted quickly.Charles blinked. This was the first time his young master put his work second. Usually the young master always puts work first, charles could even say that all of his young master's time is devoted to work. But there is one more thing that Charles must

"I'm Reid Arison, sorry for disturbing your rest," Reid said politely while introducing himself. He didn't forget to stick out his hand. But instead of welcoming Reid's hand, Peterson snorted in a scornful voice. “This is the umpteenth time someone has come to this house to lie to me. Yesterday someone came claiming to be a real estate entrepreneur, but it turned out he was nothing more than a bandit who likes to rob other people's land. Then now another person comes who wants to fool me by claiming to be from the Arison family. Listen, young man. Your lies are really lame. I know there are no Arison members left besides Mr. Jacob," said Peterson at length. Reid frowned. Likewise with his personal assistant. Charles was certainly very surprised. Before the news of Reid's appointment as CEO, it was true that Mr. Jacob was the only remaining member of Arison. But now? Maybe Peterson missed the news? How could Peterson not recognize Reid when everyone out there knew who Reid was? Sinc

Peterson took a deep breath before he finally spoke.Initially the relationship between father and daughter was fine. Moreover, since the death of the mistress of this residence, Jacob's relationship with Claire has become closer because automatically the two of them only have each other. Claire is Jacob's only daughter, and Jacob has high hopes for Claire to continue the Arison family company.Jacob gave everything to his daughter. Providing the best education, teachers and tutoring, and also holidays to fun places. All of Claire's wishes were obeyed, Claire was treated like a princess, and with Jacob's abundant wealth, it could be said that Claire was indeed a princess.It's just that when she was growing up, precisely when she had just graduated from high school, Claire said something that Jacob really didn't expect. Claire said that she wanted to continue her studies majoring in dance.Jacob of course didn't agree with his daughter's choice. All this time, she had been preparing h

After hearing the story from Peterson, Reid and Charles leave. At first, Peterson offered to have dinner there first, especially because it was already dinner time and the food was ready, but Reid refused because he was in a hurry. In fact, the real answer is, Reid has absolutely no appetite at the moment. How could he eat well when rumors about his mother continued to spread widely out there and he still couldn't provide any clarification.Throughout the helicopter journey, Reid remained silent, even when he finally landed back at Arison's company.Actually, he could have landed at Arison's residence, there is also a runway for helicopters. But that would only arouse his grandfather's suspicion. Reid didn't want his grandfather to find out he had just flown to meet Arison's former butler.“I'm sorry, young master. This trip was in vain. We still don't have any evidence to clear Mrs. Claire Arison's name," said Charles Brown. He understood best how precious time was for the young mast
