The First Son's Revenge 62
On the way to the hospital, Reid couldn't feel calm. Even though Doctor Tyler—Jacob's personal doctor—had said that Jacob was in the hands of the best doctors, Reid's heart still felt restless.From what he learned from Doctor Tyler some time ago, this was not the first time Jacob had had a heart attack. Jacob had been through it before and he could survive it.Even when Reid once told his grandfather to pay more attention to his health, his grandfather laughed and replied that not even a heart attack could kill him. 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alive, Reid never came here because his grandfather rarely went to this room, especially since his grandfather was no longer active in the company, making him rarely use this room.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

“Mr Jacob bequeathed you this house along with all his shares in the Arison company," said George Oswell while looking at Reid."WHAT?!" Raynold got up from his seat and pounded the table. "What is this? How could Mr. Jacob bequeath all his shares to Reid? I can understand if Reid gets this house and a few percent shares in Arison, but all the shares? That doesn't make sense! There's still me as a member of the Arison family too. Moreover, I have done a great service to Mr. Jacob for five years, doesn't he remember that at all? Impossible!" Raynold exclaimed loudly.“What's impossible? That's what was written in Mr. Jacob's will. There is already Mr. Jacob's original signature on this will," replied George in a voice that was also rising, a sign that his patience was starting to erode.“The will is invalid. Mr Jacob must have made it when he was under pressure," said Raynold.Then Megan joined in and added to her husband's words, "Yes, that's right. Mr. Jacob must be feeling depressed

A middle-aged man was seen sitting behind his desk. His face was tense and he clenched his jaw several times to hold back the flood of emotions that was currently bubbling up in his heart.The middle-aged man is Raynold Clark. And the anger that is currently gnawing at him concerns the meeting this afternoon in Jacob Arison's office during the reading of the will.Raynold really didn't expect that Jacob would be a person who didn't know how to repay his kindness like this. even though over the last five years, if it weren't for him stepping in to lead the Arison company, this company would have been destroyed long ago when the sick CEO abandoned it.Raynold knows that Reid is now Jacob's legitimate grandson, and that makes anyone guess that if Jacob dies, Reid will get the biggest inheritance. But at the very least, Raynold should also get the inheritance he deserves. At least half of Jacob's shares were given to Raynold. Even then, Raynold would still protest because he felt that all

It's been a week since the death of the founder of the Arison company, Mr. Jacob. Since then, Reid has not returned to the company.All employees understand this because Mr. Jacob's grandson is definitely still in a state of mourning and is not ready to return to the company, leading all the employees.Moreover, before Mr. Jacob's death, it just so happened that Reid had just finished taking care of an important project, now all that remains is its implementation and that can be done by selected employees without Reid having to supervise it directly. Moreover, even though Reid is not there, there is still Amanda Waverly, who has always been Reid's confidant and can represent Reid to supervise and also give commands if something goes wrong.No employees or company officials complained about Reid's absence. That's why Amanda was surprised when this afternoon she got a call from Reid's personal assistant who said, "Miss Waverly, you have to help me get the young master out of this house.

Jacob's work room was left in a dark atmosphere, different from the previous time Amanda was here, the room was bright with all the lights on.Tonight only one light was on, and that was the lamp sitting next to the sofa, shining straight into Reid's face. His appearance made Amanda gasp in surprise.How come? Reid's appearance, which was usually clean and neat, was really messy this time, like he hadn't showered in a week. Or has Reid really not showered in that long?His chin, which was usually clean, was shaved, but this time it was covered in sideburns. His hair was messy. His face looked oily and worn, as did the plain blue shirt he was wearing.The shirt was ragged and completely unbuttoned, revealing Reid's broad, muscular chest. Amanda turned her face away when she saw that part.Why does Reid have to be this messy? Not to mention the aroma in this room is very strong with the smell of alcohol. Of course, on the table in front of Reid lay a lot of used wine bottles with the co

"You haven't been in for a week, of course the company lost its CEO. You know what a ship is like without a captain, right?” Amanda answered Reid's previous question, lying a little."Has the kei car project been distributed yet?" Reid asked, ignoring Amanda's proverb."Yes. Everything has been distributed to well-known showrooms. There's no report yet about the sales volume, but maybe soon," Amanda answered quickly. Talking about work always excited her.Reid snorted. “I see. If so then everything is fine. There hasn't been an emergency situation that requires my presence," said Reid. Then he threw away his shirt which had turned into a rag, then just lay down again.Amanda widened her eyes. “Hey, what are you doing? You can't sleep anymore, Reid. You should at least eat!” Amanda exclaimed. She grabbed Reid's arm. But just like her previous efforts, her efforts this time were also in vain. Reid's body didn't budge without any signs of being affected in the slightest by Amanda's pull.

The next dayAmanda was in her room, typing a report. For a full fifteen minutes, she focused on her laptop, until suddenly she felt something was wrong.Why is the company atmosphere so calm today?During the week during Reid's leave, the company was calmer because there were no new big projects being worked on, so the level of hectic felt by the employees was reduced. Also because the company is still in mourning. But usually companies aren't this calm, at least not for Amanda. Moreover, Amanda is tasked with being Reid's right hand, checking if something is wrong and fixing it.But today, the phone on her desk didn't ring at all. There were no reports from the managers that anything was wrong and Amanda was expected to check it immediately.Maybe Amanda should feel grateful. Does she really want to continue responding to chaos? Once in a while she also has to feel calm.The problem is, it's so calm that it feels suspicious.Amanda closed the report on her laptop. She got up and sta
