The First Son's Revenge 63
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alive, Reid never came here because his grandfather rarely went to this room, especially since his grandfather was no longer active in the company, making him rarely use this room.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

Raynold was the person most surprised by Reid's arrival. How could Reid suddenly come? Even if Reid was planning to go to work, shouldn't he have come in the morning? If he knew that, Raynold would have chosen another way to attack Reid.Then Raynold's gaze turned to the figure of Amanda Waverly. The woman smiled with a happy face at Reid's figure.Raynold cursed in his heart. Amanda must have called Reid to come to the office right now. He should have made a more thorough plan regarding this woman. Raynold thought it was enough not to tell Amanda about this meeting, then his plan had succeeded. It turns out that this woman has sharp instincts so she can detect Raynold's plans.Reid walked with confident steps to the CEO's chair. Behind him was Charles Brown, his personal assistant who faithfully accompanied him."Sorry I'm late for this meeting," said Reid as he sat down in his chair. Then Reid glanced at Raynold, "I should have been informed earlier that an important meeting was goi

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

The divorce between Daniel and Abigail happened quickly.As soon as Abigail found her son—who apparently chose to check in at a five-star hotel—Abigail returned to her house and apologized to Daniel.However, no matter how serious Abigail apologized, Daniel was unanimous in his decision. 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
