2025-02-17 19:56:53A deadly glint flashed in August's eyes. Finally, it was time for revenge, but he wouldn’t just go all out on them yet. Though his legs were functioning now, he was just at the warrior level of cultivation which wasn’t much of a feat when he would face those men.
If they were able to cripple him, though it was after he was weakened after fighting the war, they had to be strong people else they wouldn’t have succeeded. Well, at least he had a lead now, and with David by his side, he could start up from somewhere. Sighing, he put the phone away and dragged the bodyguards out of the office downstairs, and hurled them out in the street. While he was doing all this, eyes were trailing him around, shocked, but none of them dared to say anything. He arrived back at the top floor and helped Caroline tidy up the place. The broken table was taken out by him and luckily, there was a spare one to be replaced with. He tirelessly put things in order, shocking Caroline. “You have gotten stronger than how you’ve been.” She complimented as his actions awed her. “Hahaha. There are so many things you are yet to know about me. But don’t worry, in time I’ll tell you about it.” August said as he winked at her. Then again, he was back to his soft side when it came to her. After all, he loved her so much and could as well say she was his Achilles heel. “I’ll be excited for it then.” Caroline smiled. In just a few days, she had gotten to know more about him and realized he wasn’t good for nothing. Slowly, her attitude towards him was changing. Though, it didn’t matter to August. No matter how long it would take, he was ready to be patient to make her see he was worth her love. Smiling, she sat down and started going through some documents in front of her while August sat on the couch not far away thinking about how he was going to get his strength back to how it was. “What?” Suddenly, Caroline gasped in shock jerking him up, and he was forced out of his thoughts to look at her. “What's wrong wife?” August turned towards her as he asked. “The company… has lost over fifty million dollars in just weeks, and our stock price has also decreased. Not only that, most sectors in the company lacked management and soon this company which is worth a billion could go down to nothing!” Caroline said with a panicked expression. It seemed the so-called mark had mismanaged the company so badly that soon, it might go bankrupt. She couldn’t believe that her hard work had almost been ruined by her brother. What did he use fifty million for? As she could see, the money wasn’t used to tackle the company’s problem, rather, it seemed to be transferred to Mark's account. He had been spending the money the way he saw fit while leaving the company in shackles. Damn it! Caroline was burning in fury. Not just her, but August too. After going through the papers, anger coursed through his veins. Perhaps he should have slapped that bastard so hard before kicking him out of the company. Even now, August felt like going after him to beat him into a pulp. But then, all that wouldn’t change the situation now. The only one who could fix the company now was Caroline herself. If she broke down, then who would keep it going? August shifted the papers and looked at her. To his surprise he saw she wasn’t frowning, rather she put on a professional mode. Quickly, she picked up the telephone beside her and made a call. “Lisa, assemble all the company's top executives in the conference room now.” She said before hanging up. What she needed was to discuss matters with them so they could find a way to solve this issue lest it get fatal. August watched her closely and didn’t say anything. He knew she had something in mind and with his presence here, he was ready to help her at all times. They waited and just then, the telephone rang again. Ring! Ring! Quickly Caroline answered and having heard the response from the other side, her expression turned pale as a sheet. “What? The executives said I don’t have the authority to summon them?” Caroline repeated the words she heard from the other side. “Yes, ma.” The secretary replied. August heard this, and anger surged inside him even more. How dare these people act so smug when there is a crisis? It seemed like they were courting death, huh? Then perhaps he would grant their wish. Snorting, he collected the telephone from Caroline and spoke. “Tell them to appear here within ten minutes or consider themselves fired from the company!” He roared before hanging up.

Tell me! Is that what you came to tell me?” Caroline, his wife who was drowned in her never-ending thoughts, upon noticing it was him, bellowed with red eyes.“Yes, I have to go, wife. But I promise I won't take long,” August replied as he went ahead to push the door open and wheeled in.Hearing this, Caroline was more furious.

“A divorce?” August repeated the words as he clenched his fist tightly. Though he could see she was trying to intimidate him into giving out what she wanted to hear but then, in no circumstances was he ready to part ways with her.“I still love you. I won't agree to the divorce.” He said with a straight face, and she was forced to look at him.“Is that so? Then tell me the truth, or do you want to be forced to say it? Remember no one gives a damn about you and if you keep pushing me to the wall, you will hate it!” She said in a threatening tone.Although divorcing him wouldn't be that easy, not because she wasn't willing but because her grandmother who forced the marriage upon her just to subdue her wouldn’t want the divorce to go through.“It's better if you don't know. Moreover, it isn't like it will be beneficial to you.” August said helplessly.“So it's true, huh?” She suddenly said, and her hand flew to her mouth. Lately, she had been hearing rumors and his stubbornness had given

Inhaling deeply, August clutched the edge of his wheelchair and tried to lift himself. Perhaps if he was able to reach where Caroline was and hug her to console her, then she might stop crying.That was what he thought, but it didn't seem like his legs agreed to it. The more he tried, the harder it was for him but he kept trying.Caroline, who was crying looked up to see this, and a smirk curled up on her sorrowful face. “What are you planning to do? Get up with those condemned legs?“You are helpless already so I see no reason why you'll want to waste your energy. Have you forgotten you wanted to leave before? Just save that energy for your mistress. I'm sure she will need it.” Caroline rebuked coldly and even chuckled to her heart of contempt.However, August ignored her and kept on trying to get up. He was determined to prove her wrong, but first, his legs had to agree to it.He kept pushing. His teeth gritted as he cursed at his weakness. He used to be a fearsome man, someone who

“Shut up! How dare you? Are you in the right state of your mind at all? Or has your brain turned into dust? How dare you talk to your brother like that?” Ms Winston retorted furiously with knitted lines on her forehead. She had always regarded the males in the family to be the stronghold and also the backbone of the family whereas someone like Caroline could never hold a torch to them. How dare she talk like that when she was just a housewife? She was supposed to be at home taking care of her crippled husband and thus was supposed to hand over the company at once, yet, she was seemingly stubborn. It seemed she had to be taught a thorough lesson. Seeing she was siding with him as expected, Mark felt more thrilled.

As the men approached, Caroline panicked and immediately stood in front of August to shield him. How could she let these scary-looking men hurt her husband? If such were to happen, then she wouldn’t be able to live with the guilt of knowing she was the cause of why he was crippled again.Though she had yet to talk about it, deep in her mind she was happy that he could now walk again, yet these men wanted to return him to that state. Of course not she wouldn’t let them.“August, quick, leave at once before they get here.” She said, her heart palpitating in her chest.Standing behind her, August was quite stunned. He felt touched, not only by her actions but by her words too. Does this mean she cared about him? The thought alone made a thrill surge inside his body.“Don’t let him escape! Make sure to cripple him up!” Mark quickly yelled out to his men lest August run away.“And who said I’ll run away?” August sneered before pulling his wife to his back. “Don’t worry wife, I’m not a weak
