Althon was excited for his first day of training and studying. He woke up early, worked out in the courtyard, and prepared to start the day as best he could. However, he became worried when he met Anthony at the dinner table. "What happened to you, Grandpa?" Althon asked. "Althon, you seem very energetic today, but I have to tell you something. Your cousins, Alex and Alexa, will be visiting the mansion now. They want to see me. You need to hide so they don't know where you are.""Alex and Alexa?" Althon was silent for a moment, clenching his fists tightly. "I'll be fine, Grandpa. You don't have to worry about me. I can train and learn elsewhere.""I don't know their true purpose, but I have no reason to prevent them from seeing me. They are still my grandchildren after all. They don't know about the crimes their father committed. Even so, you should still be wary of them, Althon.""Do you mind if Alan stays with me while Alex and Alexa visit?" Anthony turned to Alan for a moment. "
Alex and Alexa entered a grand mansion, passing by servants who bowed respectfully to them. "Dad." Alex and Alexa bowed respectfully."I heard that you met your grandfather at Paradise Mansion," Arnold said as he walked into the main room, sitting on the sofa. Alex and Alex sat opposite Arnold, glancing at each other. Alex responded, "Yes, we visited our grandfather, Dad. He's doing well but he seems lonely and misses us all."Arnold smiled. "Yes, your grandfather must be feeling very lonely. I've asked him to stay with us, but he prefers to stay at Paradise Mansion. I couldn't possibly force him.""I'm glad you visited your grandfather. You should develop a good relationship with him." Arnold stood up. "I've heard reports about your work. You're doing very well. I will give you more challenging tasks. If you can achieve the best results, you deserve a vacation."Alex and Alexa nodded. "Alex, Alexa, do you have a lover yet?"Alex and Alexa looked at each other."You must bring you
Althon practiced and studied very hard for a month. Whenever he felt tired, he would look at pictures of Arthur and Adele. Anthony told Althon to take a vacation, but Althon insisted that he had no time for leisure. Meanwhile, Julian's family was still in a very difficult position. They continue to get rejected by Sean Ruild despite repeated attempts to meet. Their relationship with other families is also getting worse. James was increasingly angry, and he made Noah, Alvin, and the rest of his family the target of his anger.Noah finally confessed that he had harassed someone who had a close relationship with Sean Ruild. He was forced to lie about Althon because James, Alvin, and his family didn't believe his story. At the same time, Alvin continued to search for Althon in Asthonia and other cities. However, he and his troops always failed to catch the man. Althon stood by the lake, staring at the moon's reflection in the puddles. He had just completed fifty laps around the lake.
Althon was on his way to Mande Island. He observed the scenery through the airplane window. "I need to take a vacation to ease my mind.""All preparations are perfect, Young Master," Alan said."Thank you, Alan. You've been a great help." Althon leaned back in his seat, opening the hologram screen. "I've never been to Mande Island before."Althon pressed the search button. Ansen instantly displayed complete information about Mande Island. "Mande Island is an exclusive island located in the southern region of the country of Thondonia. The island has become a tourist and vacation destination for wealthy families. Mande Island has a very beautiful landscape of white sand, sea, coral reefs, hills, and forests. The island also has very complete facilities such as airports, harbors, luxury villas, game rides, zoos, restaurants, and hospitals." Althon looked at the pictures one by one. "This is amazing. I can't wait to go on vacation and teach Alvin, Alicia, and the others a lesson."Meanw
Agnes froze when she realized her actions, squeezing her skirt. "Oh my, I suddenly bowed to Althon," she muttered.Althon smiled, looking the other way. Meanwhile, Alvin, Alicia, Kevin, and the others were confused by Agnes' actions. "Agnes." Alicia glanced at Althon, coming closer to Agnes. Agnes let out a long breath. "I-I intended to pick up the broken glass, Alicia. I neglected to let the glass fall.""You don't have to, Alicia. The servants will take care of the broken glass." Alicia pulled Agnes' hand away, rolling her eyes when she saw Althon. Kevin whispered in Alvin's ear, "I wonder if Agnes is bowing to Althon.""You must be crazy, Kevin." Alvin laughed. "Agnes hates Althon so much. So, how could she possibly want to bow to Althon?"Alvin suddenly fell silent when he remembered Noah's words about Althon having a close relationship with Sean Ruild. "This is impossible."Althon reached for a drink, but Alvin brushed his hand away. "What are you doing, Althon? You took my d
Two guards rushed to the crowd. "What happened, Miss?" asked one of the guards. "This man has hurt my boyfriend and my friends!" Alicia pointed at Alvin. "You must take him and punish him!""Follow us, sir. We need to examine you.""Alright. We'll meet at the opening ceremony tonight." Althon waved goodbye, following the two guards. Agnes observed the two guards and was surprised when she noticed one of them. "Mr. Alan," she murmured. Agnes felt her chest beating very fast. "I had expected Althon's subordinates to be watching him from a distance.""What an asshole!" Alvin sat on the chair, grimacing in pain. "Althon wants to take revenge on me.""Be patient, Alvin." Alicia sat beside Alvin, nursing his wound. "We have plenty of opportunities for pranks, Althon. I'm sure he'll get a huge fine from the Mande Island management."Alicia turned to Agnes, helping Alvin up. "I'll walk you to your room, Alvin."Meanwhile, Althon entered the room with Alan. "This room is quite nice." Alth
Agnes hurried to hide when she saw Alicia at the end of the hallway. "Alicia must have gotten suspicious when I walked in with Daddy. Gosh, I mean Althon.""Althon, what are you doing with Agnes?" asked Alicia as she approached. She stopped when she saw Althon's appearance. "Gosh, Althon is so handsome and dashing," she murmured. Alicia didn't blink for some time, shaking her head. "I must be crazy. Althon is handsome, but he's still trash and a loser.""What do you want, Alicia?" Althon asked. Alicia paused when she smelled Althon's perfume. Her chest was suddenly beating very fast. Her lips were so tight that she opened her mouth without saying anything. Althon passed by Alicia, glancing at Agnes hiding behind the wall."Althon, wait!" Alicia immediately caught up with Althon, glaring. "What are you doing with Agnes? I saw you and Agnes talking and walking together.""Agnes suddenly came up to me and scolded me. She said she would report me to the police if I acted impudently."A
Agnes let out a long breath, looking at Alicia, Melissa, and the others. "I'm sure you know about the Paradise Store case a month ago. Paradise's manager and staff offended a VVIP person, so Mr. Sean punished Paradise Store. As one of the representatives of the Paradise Company that oversees the Paradise Store, I have to behave myself to everyone, including Althon."Alicia hugged Agnes. "You must be tormented because you can't insult Althon. You don't have to worry, Agnes. We'll play a prank on Althon and throw him in jail."Agnes looked the other way, closing her eyes. "We need to get back to the venue," Melissa said. Agnes, Alicia, Melissa, and the others joined the teachers. Althon enjoyed the food at the table, looking out at the crowd. "I barely had a close relationship with anyone during school. They shunned me because I was an orphan and not on their level.""Althon, do you mind if I sit with you?" asked Linda. "Of course, Miss Linda. I'd love to have someone to chat with."
"Shouldn't I be ready, Dad?" Althon felt very happy because all his dreams had been achieved. He went through a lot of hard things to get to where he is now. Althon, Arthur, and Adele left the room and walked down the stairs. They met Anthony, Abraham, and Adam in the main room. "Do you have a girlfriend yet, Althon?" Adele asked. Althon suddenly looked down, embarrassed. "I haven't thought about that right now, Mom. I'm going to focus on my work right now." "You look marvelous, Althon." Anthony smiled. "I'm so proud of you." Meanwhile, Lily checked her appearance, letting out a long breath. "I must not disappoint Master." "Are you ready, Lily?" asked Linda as she stood up from the sofa, checking Lily's appearance. "You are very charming today." "We didn't expect Master Arthur Leander's son to call you to the main office today. We finally got to meet him and his son today," said Lily's father. "I will do my best." James smoothed Alvin's appearance. "I really didn't expect
"Congratulations on your win, Arthur." Arnold laughed. "You always win at everything. You were born to be a winner.""Dad," murmured Alex, Alexa, and Albert. Aaron and Andy looked the other way.Anthony let out a long breath, looking at his three sons with tears in his eyes. "I'm the one at fault in all of this. I was wrong to show you my affection. Envy and hatred have driven you to do bad things."Anthony paused for a moment. "As a father, I feel that I have failed. I failed to be the mediator between you all. I also failed to be sensitive and firm.""Even so, none of that will change anything. You will be punished for all your evil deeds."Alex, Alexa, Albert, Andrew, Aldhen, Alfie, and Ana fell silent. "I will still give Arthur heir status according to my previous decision. I consider him to be the most worthy." "As punishment for your mistakes, ninety percent of your wealth will be given to Arthur. The rest will be given to your family. The elite estate you built will remain t
Anthony cried even harder. He ignored his weakened body. "Where is Arthur? I want to see him now. I need to apologize to him.""Grandpa." Althon hugged and calmed Anthony. "Everything is fine now, Grandpa. You don't have to worry about anything anymore.""What do you mean, Arthur? Where is your father now?"Althon released the hug, letting out a long breath. "Dad is chasing those three guys right now.""What?" Anthony held his breath, staring at Abraham. "They must be punished for their wrongdoings. I will no longer defend or protect them."Anthony closed his eyes, letting the tears fall. "I should have punished them when I knew they were the masterminds behind the crimes all those years ago. They deserved the punishment."Arnold, Aaron, and Andy rushed to safety. Unfortunately, Arthur's troops intercepted them from various places. "You bastards!" screamed Arnold, clenching his fists tightly. He saw ships approaching the bridge. When he looked up into the sky, helicopters were swarmi
A shot from Arnold set off the drums of war. Ali and the bodyguards immediately protected Althon from gunfire. Unfortunately, some of the bodyguards were shot and almost fell. The tense atmosphere turned into chaos as gunshots rang out everywhere. The two camps were instantly at war with each other. Leander's family members were shocked, rushing to follow the directions of their bodyguards. "Don't let him escape," Althon said, stinging as his shoulder hit the floor hard.Arnold grunted in annoyance, signaling his guards to leave immediately. He watched Arthur and Althon, who were in the custody of the guards. "Damn it! It's hard enough for me to finish them off now. I better get out of this damn place as soon as possible! I can get back to organizing the plan.""Dad!" Alex shouted when he saw the guards carrying Arnold out of the room. "Oh, my God! Why did all this have to happen?" Alexa screamed as she covered her ears. "Get me out of here right now! I don't want to be here!" A
"Who was that guy yelling just now?" asked Arnold as he observed two figures similar to Adam near Althon and Abraham. "You bastard! Which one of them is the real Adam? Are they both fakes?""Then, what was that screaming sound just now?" Arnold stiffened in place, staring at his hands that were shaking violently. His eyes opened very wide. "The voice is very similar to Arthur? Could he be ....""Where is he?" Arnold surveyed the surroundings, ignoring the tension. "Could it be Arthur?"Fear showed on Arnold's face. Sweat began to drip from his forehead. He seemed to hear Arthur's screams from all directions, but he didn't see his brother. Arnold stared at Adam's figure on the stage, clenching his fists tightly. "That guy is Arthur."Aaron and Andy felt the same fear and tension. They recognized the sound of the shout."Adam." Aaron and Andy were surprised to see two Adam's in two different places."Two Adam's?" muttered Alex as he realized the strangeness of what was happening. He ob
Althon smiled, glancing back briefly, feeling immensely relieved. "Without their help, I wouldn't have been able to do all this. I need to thank them, especially Uncle Adam.""You can't just trust that stranger, Uncle, Aunt," Arnold said with emphasis. "He's just someone trying to ruin this event and sabotage my position as heir. How can you trust him so easily?"Abraham stood up from his wheelchair, taking a deep breath before speaking. "Anthony has told me the whole truth. That man is indeed Arthur's son. He arrived at this house about four months ago."Abraham stared sharply at Arnold, Aaron, and Andy. "Anthony also told me about your crimes against Arthur, Adele, and Althon. You even planned to murder Anthony, your own father. Your actions are unforgivable and must be met with severe punishment.""No!" Arnold shouted, shaking his head. "I won't stand for this humiliation! I have never been involved in any crime, let alone planning to kill my own father! Stop this nonsense right no
The evidence of Arnold, Aaron, and Andy's crimes continued to appear on the screen. Everyone could clearly see the photos and videos, making the atmosphere increasingly chaotic.Arnold, Aaron, and Andy remained where they stood, but their position became increasingly cornered as their relatives stared at them with disdain and suspicion. Seeing Abraham, Arka, and Anita's reactions, they could confirm that those three had collaborated with Althon to disrupt the event.Arnold, Aaron, and Andy had anticipated that Althon or Arthur might show up and cause trouble during the event. However, they hadn't expected Abraham, Arka, and Anita to uncover their crimes."All these videos and photos are fake! That bastard just wants to ruin this event! Guards, get that trash out of here right now!" Arnold shouted while pointing at Althon.Aaron screamed, "That trash is just pretending to be Arthur's son! He's nothing but a liar! Don't believe a word he says!""Someone drag that trash out of here immed
"Stop this!" shouted Althon in all earnestness. He glared at Arnold, who was about to receive the sword in his hand. Almost all of the Leander family members were startled, turning their heads to the armed men entering the room. The rain that had been pouring down suddenly stopped. Althon continued to walk amidst the armed troops. He saw Arnold, Aaron, and Andy's men begin to stand at attention, pointing guns at him and his men."What?" Arnold instantly turned his head, glaring. "What's going on? Who are they? How did they get in and escape the guard?"Arnold clenched his fists tightly. "Could he be... Arthur?"Aaron and Andy were also very surprised. Glancing at each other, they signalled their troops to be on full alert. "Who was that guy yelling earlier?" asked Alex as he scanned the approaching troops. "You bastard! Is it possible that what Dad're afraid of really happened?""You mean Uncle Arthur is coming?" Alexa looked terrified. "You bastard!" Albert stood up from the chai
Anthony was still unconscious until now. Arnold, Aaron, Andy, and their families visited the man before the event started. Doctors said Anthony's condition had started to improve. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend the event. Arnold watched Anthony closely. He grasped his father's hand tightly, smiling. "I won't let you down, Dad. I promise."Aaron and Andy looked sarcastically at Arnold, holding back their annoyance. Abraham said as he stroked Anthony's hair, "According to family rules, Anthony was supposed to preside over your inauguration as the family heir. However, due to Anthony's still unconscious condition and to avoid any untoward events, the task falls to me now. I hope you don't mind, Arnold.""I completely understand, Uncle." Arnold turned to Arka and Anita. "You're the perfect person to take Dad's place. Uncle Arka and Aunt Anita have also agreed to this. I'm also sure Dad won't mind. If one day he regains consciousness and recovers, we can hold another inauguration
