The First Son's Revenge 54
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

Seven o'clock in the evening is prime time for television programs. Usually this hour is filled with reality shows or drama series, news broadcasts, and also several other superior programs.Specifically for this news program, it will discuss a live case that is currently making a splash in cyberspace, namely the case regarding the mother of the young CEO of the Arison company.Initially, the news program included direct clarification from the Arison company, which denied the accusations in the anonymous news.“It is true that the Lilyana figure in the post is Mr. Reid Arison's mother. Regarding the difference in names, we will not discuss that much. In essence, what is written in it about Mr. Reid Arison's mother profession is a cruel slander that is very detrimental. We strongly condemn this irresponsible act," said Amanda Waverly, who represented the Arison company in appearing on television."We will take strong action against the perpetrators and give appropriate punishment," add

“Young master, everything has gone smoothly. The post was deleted without leaving a single trace.”"What about Liam? Has he been arrested by the police?""Yes, young master. I have received a report that Liam has just been picked up at the Cliffton residence and now the legal process is continuing."Reid smiled with satisfaction at the answer from his personal assistant.According to his plan, he did not delay in making clarifications and revealing the identity of the perpetrator.Actually, from the start, Reid knew that the perpetrator was definitely Liam. Only Liam has access to photos of his mother in the past when she was Lilyana, and also only Liam has such a big grudge against Reid that he dares to slander to tarnish the name of the Arison family.But all this time Reid has been silent and hasn't taken any action at all because he thinks there's no point in contacting Liam. Liam will not delete the news post. Even if Liam is willing to delete it, it's possible that Liam will fir

Abigail clenched her hands which felt damp with sweat. She glanced timidly at her surroundings.Some detainees are also receiving visits from their families or friends. Some of the prisoners had fierce faces and large bodies, a rough appearance that made it clear that they would end up in prison—in Abigail opinion. But Liam? Liam is very sweet and handsome, not suitable for being in a place of confinement like this. Liam shouldn't be here, Abigail shouldn't have to visit here.A few moments later Liam's figure finally appeared. His appearance looked terrible. Honestly, Abigail had to admit that her handsome son today didn't look as charming as usual.Liam was wearing faded prison clothes, and his face looked as if Liam hadn't been able to sleep for several nights. His usually clean chin was now starting to grow sideburns, making his sweet appearance rough.“Liam, are you okay?” asked Abigail with a sore heart. She feels sad because her son has become a suspect and is now being detaine

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

He wants a divorce."Besides, our relationship recently has not been good," said Daniel briefly.Abigail was stunned to hear that.After going through a series of processes in court, Daniel and Abigail are now officially divorced. The two of them are no longer husband and wife. Abigail moved to her parents' house again.Because since marrying Daniel, Abigail has never worked and only socializes with her friends, she really doesn't have any income, she also doesn't have any special abilities.Fortunately, Abigail's parents really love her and want to accommodate her, as well as accommodate Liam.Liam couldn't stay too long in a hotel—even if he wanted to—because the cost of staying at the hotel Liam ch
