The First Son's Revenge 67
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

Meanwhile, in a different room, Raynold called his two sons. They had to change their plans again regarding the current situation.“What's wrong, dad? Why call us? Did the project presentation not go smoothly?" Brian asked.As the person who suggested this idea, Brian was also the one who helped the most in conducting research and compiling the report. It's not surprising that of Raynold's two sons, the one who asked most enthusiastically about the meeting was Brian. Meanwhile Harry just crossed his arms with a bored look.“The project was a mess, Reid found a lot of flaws in the project and chipped away at them. I have to revise it from the beginning," Raynold answered with a sour face.Harry, who initially had a bored face, immediately widened when he heard his father's answer. "You said Reid found many flaws in this project, did he come to the office today?" Harry asked.Raynold nodded.“Damn it!” Brian cursed. Even though he had prepared everything well, Reid still found a flaw? I

Luckily Reid pressed the gas pedal deeper so that when the enemy car was about to hit him from the side, Reid's car managed to dodge it.But of course the car didn't just give up, continuing to chase Reid's car.Reid stepped on the accelerator harder, going full speed.Charles, who was sitting next to Reid, was of course surprised by this change in speed. He turned to the young master beside him whose face looked serious.Charles wondered if the effects of caffeine made his young master so excited that he wanted to speed around at night?From the story that Charles had heard from Amanda, the young master really had extraordinary speeding abilities. Amanda even complained to Charles that she didn't want to share a car with Reid anymore, even though in fact Amanda was seen riding in Reid's car several times - it seemed like the marketing manager had forgotten her own promise.Charles started to feel worried when he saw that there were no signs that his young master was going to slow dow

The next day Reid still went to the office as usual. Charles had previously suggested that Reid not come to work yet and wait until the spies they ordered had finished investigating and given their report to Reid. At least after that, Reid will know who the perpetrator is, who the enemy he must avoid is.However, Charles' suggestion was immediately rejected by Reid.Just yesterday Reid apologized to company officials for taking a long leave and promised to set a better example, then now Reid wants to take another holiday?The company officials will ridicule him and never want to trust him again.Apart from that, Reid wasn't actually that worried about who the perpetrator was. Seeing how yesterday the perpetrator waited until late at night after Reid finished working overtime, that means the perpetrator intended to carry out his crime in secret, at least not in an area where people could see his figure directly.If the perpetrator not cared about the confidentiality of his own identity

Reid was of course surprised by Amanda's presence, especially by the woman's panicked words and expression."What's wrong, Amanda?" Reid asked, frowning."You have to help me," Amanda said in a demanding tone, ignoring Reid's question.Reid's frown deepened. “Yes, but first explain to me what's wrong? What should I help you with?” Reid asked again.But the woman instead paced around Reid's room, biting the tips of her nails. She muttered—rather babbled—to herself. “How could he order me to do this? Gosh, I'm an adult. He has no right to boss me around like this.”Reid turned to Charles, giving him a questioning look, maybe his personal assistant knew what was going on.Aren't Charles and Amanda quite close? Reid knew that Amanda often complained and even talked about himself to Charles. If it weren't for Amanda's enormous service, Reid would have reprimanded her. How can a subordinate gossip about her boss—especially out loud—in front of the boss himself? It's outrageous.But Charles

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
