"Some days ago, rumors spread that the heir apparent of the family, Keaton, is terribly ill and needs an urgent bone marrow transplant," Colonel Marcus spoke slowly, watching Kian's expression.

He wasn't surprised to see the coldness displayed in Kian's eyes as he spat, "How does this concern me, Colonel?"

Colonel Marcus knew Kian was fuming now as he had switch to formalities. But the matter was urgent and although he was risking his life, he had to let Kian know.

"Don't you understand? Your cousin is on the verge of death," Seeing Kian's impassive gesture, he continued, "The family needs a suitable bone marrow donor. And the most suitable donor happens to be..."

"Me?" Kian cut his words with a bone chilling laughter. "Why? Isn't the heir apparent the most precious one? Can't the Blackwoods sacrifice one of their own to save him?"

    At the City's Hospital: Ida walked into the ward with a big smile and a lunchbox. Nathaniel was sitting on the bed. The color was back in his face and he seemed to be recovering faster than expected. He was no longer looking bony as the first time and was starting to look more recognizable. He even gave Ida a smile as she walked in. "I see you are recovering quite well, old man. You look happy today." Nathaniel's smile widened. "It's because of the marvelous doctor father has gotten for me. Every one of his medical sessions leaves me rejuvenated. I can feel my bones again." Ida's smile disappeared and her head snapped up.

    Kian's lips curled up with a mocking smile. When he first met Margaret at the bank, he had seen how despicable she could be. How could someone like that change so quickly?But he was currently idle. He could entertain her tricks and see just how long she could keep up her charade so he lowered his face and nodded.Margaret’s smile brightened, and she turned around, her voice sweet as honey. "Come in, Mr Blackwood. Let me get you something to drink."She didn't do this often but she could make an exception for him. Alas, let him have his last drink before his doom.Without waiting for Kian's response, she happily skipped to a desk and poured out a cup of water for him. As she did, her fingers deftly brushed against a hidden button under the counter.The cameras in the showroom instantly deactivated, the tiny lights on their bases flickering off.

    "Are you so dumb that you don't understand?" Margaret sneered at him scornfully. She clenched her fingers on her wrist and some bright red marks appeared instantly. "Molestation and now assault. Do you know how many years this can get you in prison?" Then she laughed mockingly. "Oh, I forgot... That place seems to be like home to you." Kian's eyes flashed coldly and he gave her a lazy gaze. "Is this all?" Margaret was stunned by his words again. He didn't seem scared even though he already knows her plans. This bastard! Will he not cry until he can see the end? "I have to say, you made a big mistake... Birdbrained women like you are not my type." Margaret's face turned red with embarrassment and anger. How dare this lowly scum talk trash to her face? Her fists clenched and she gritted, "Humph! If you think these CCTV cameras are going to help you, you will be disappointed to know I turned them off earlier. Let's see how you prove your innocence now." "Oh, I'm so scared,"

Margaret was dumbfounded when these voices suddenly resonated in the air. Kian was holding up a phone. She panicked and instantly forgot about covering herself. "Stop him!" But no one moved as the recording continued playing till the last bit of the conversation. Margaret didn't know where to hide her face. "Do you still want to call the police?" Kian looked at the stupefied men calmly. "I can prove my innocence. I'm afraid someone else will be getting into trouble instead." "I can't believe this," The manager was exasperated. Holding back his pain, he glared at Margaret angrily. So he suffered a broken wrist because this stupid woman wanted to use
