"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

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.

That he's not as weak as he seems.Reid believed that. He knew that his grandfather was indeed a strong man, otherwise how could he have founded the company alone, managed it until it was this successful and survived until now. But for some reason Reid feels very uneasy right now.Reid stared out the car window. The car drove quickly, driven by Charles. However, even though the car was traveling at maximum speed so that the view on the side of the road was like a blur, fo

The reading of the will was carried out in Jacob Arison's study.This was the first time Reid had entered his grandfather's study. Even when his grandfather was still alive, Reid never came here because his grandfather rarely went to this room, especially since his grandfather was no longer active in the company, making him rarely use this room. So Reid has no more reason to come into this room.Jacob's favorite place has always been the back garden, and that's where Reid usually talks with his grandfather.Reid glanced around the room. This work space gives the same impression as Jacob, antique and bold.The walls are covered with shiny lacquered wood. The yellow light gives an elegant impression, especially when it reflects on the display of antique jars placed on long shelves that fill one wall.One work desk is on the far right, while in front of it, only a few steps apart, is a long table with a row of chairs. This must be a table for business colleagues who come to hold meetings
