Everyone was shocked, except Agnes who looked terrified. "W-what are you saying, Althon?" Alvin looked very annoyed. "Althon, you've gone too far. You've been rude to Alvin and the rest of us, and now you want to punish us." Alicia gave Althon a sharp look. "You guys are the ones who have always been mean to me." Althon gave Alan a nod. "Guards, I want them to clean the pool tomorrow morning. If they refuse, they must pay one hundred thousand dollars in damages.""Althon, you've made a mess of this event." Ryan snorted in annoyance. "You punished Alvin and his friends just because Alvin will douse you. You should be able to behave yourself.""Mr. Ryan, you're even going to report Althon to the police, even though you haven't gotten any evidence that he's guilty. So, who's not being mature now?" Linda said with a cynical look."Miss Linda, you were the new teacher when Althon was in his senior year. You should know that Althon was a troublemaker for a long time. He even beat up many
The party ended a few hours later. The courtyard and beach were quiet. Althon and everyone went back to their rooms. Althon lay on the bed, smiling as he remembered the expressions of Alvin, Ryan, Alicia, and the others. "This event was quite fun. Some people are starting to change and be nice to you, especially Linda. However, Alvin, Alicia, Kevin, and the others are still being rude to me. I wonder what they'll do next."Althon received a message from Alan. "I know what they're planning. I have to act my best to make them happy."Althon took off his suit, smiling as someone knocked on the door. "Has the game started now?"Althon opened the door, looking at Alvin, Kevin, Ryan, and a few other men. "What do you guys want from me?""Althon, you've stolen my fancy watch," Alvin said. "What?" Althon pretended to be surprised. "I lost my watch during the opening ceremony, and you're the most likely man to have stolen my watch.""You're not accusing me without proof, Alvin. I may be poo
"Alvin, what's in your hand?" asked Alicia with a surprised look. "My fancy watch, of course, Alicia." Alvin smiled widely, showing his fancy watch to everyone, especially Althon. "Alvin, you've gone too far," Linda said. "What do you mean, Miss Linda? Althon stole my fancy watch and hid it in a potted plant. Althon is proven to have stolen my luxury watch."Ryan didn't blink for some time. "Alvin."Alicia, Melissa, Kevin, Randy, and the others looked at each other. They felt annoyed and scared when they saw the watch in Alvin's hand. Althon laughed. "I didn't know you had such a unique taste, Alvin. I'll buy that fancy watch for twice the price.""What a jerk! You can't buy my luxury watch with your years of salary, Althon. You ...." Alvin suddenly opened his eyes and mouth wide when he saw a pink toy watch in his hand. "What's this?"Agnes felt very relieved. Althon burst out laughing. Linda and Agnes stifled their laughter while Alvin, Alicia, Ryan, and the others were silent
Althon woke up refreshed and fit. He worked out on the beach and walked to the hills and some interesting locations. "I heard the screams of Alvin, Alicia, Kevin, and the others last night. Alan seemed to have scared them off."Althon swam in the pool, enjoying the tranquility.Alvin, Kevin, Randy, and the others exited the hotel, yawning a few times. They talked about the creepy apparitions they saw last night. "Hey, isn't that Althon?" Kevin pointed at Althon in the pool. "What an asshole! Althon makes me so sick this early in the day," Alvin snapped. "Should we prank Althon now?" asked Randy, "I'm still upset that he escaped our trap."Alvin, Kevin, Randy, and the others approached the pool, watching Althon. They were amazed and envious that Althon was swimming so well. Althon swam to the side of the pool. "You guys better stay away from the pool. I don't want to help you if you drown.""Damn it! You're accusing me of us not being able to swim, Althon!" Alvin snorted in annoyan
Althon was having breakfast near the beach, enjoying the view of the sea and the waves. "I have to say that this place is pretty amazing."Althon turned to Alvin, Kevin, and their friends. "They seem to be planning something on me. I can't wait."Althon looked at the schedule on his phone. "Me and the others will walk around to some locations like the zoo and the art gallery. They'll probably prank me at those places. ""Althon, are you okay?" Linda asked. "I'm fine. I'm enjoying this vacation." Althon took a sip of his drink. "Is someone bothering you? You look scared.""Honestly, I'm worried about you, Althon." Linda sat opposite Althon, turning to Alvin and the others momentarily. Agnes looked annoyed when she saw Althon and Linda together. "You're worried about me?" Althon was surprised, smiling. "I'll be fine.""Alvin and his friends have been making trouble for you since yesterday, Althon. I know you managed to escape their trap, but I'm afraid you won't escape the next one.
Althon had lunch at a restaurant near the beach. "Alvin, Alicia, and the others didn't prank me while I was at the art gallery. They probably thought that I could escape their trap easily. However, I believe they've already prepared a plan to prank me again. I can't wait for their surprise."Althon walked on the beach, enjoying the calm sea. He saw some people playing jet skiing and other games. "I've never been on a jet ski before. I should try it."Alvin suddenly laughed. "You've been suffering all this time, Althon. You've never even tried jet skiing. I don't know how you manage to enjoy your life.""He only knows work and work." Kevin laughed. "As long as he can get food, he will feel very alive.""I'm glad to know you, Althon. I can bully you all I want," Randy said as he mingled with his friends. "I'll tell you something. I'll feel most alive when I throw you guys overboard with my hands." Althon smiled. "I'll prove it to you guys."Alvin, Kevin, Randy, and the others quickly m
Kevin whispered, "Are you sure you want to race with Althon, Alvin?"Alvin smiled wryly. "Yes, I'm very sure. I'm very good at jet skiing, while Althon has never been on a jet ski. That trash will lose, and I can do anything to him."Alicia hugged Alvin. "You have to accept Alvin's challenge, Althon. Otherwise, you're just a loser.""That's true." Melissa smiled.Alvin's friends began to urge Althon. "Is this one of your plans to prank Althon, Alvin?" Linda asked. Alicia rolled her eyes. "It's just a normal race, Miss Linda. Mande Island is a safe island. The guards will guard and protect us when we are in danger."Althon knew that Alvin had something planned for him. He had never ridden a jet ski, and Alvin used that to his advantage. "Alright, I'll race with you, Alvin. However, the race won't be as exciting if I only race with you. Kevin, Randy, and the others should join the race.""What an asshole! You must be scared, Althon." Kevin laughed. "Okay, me, Randy, and the others wi
Alicia and everyone cheered in support. Alvin came in first, followed by Kevin, Randy, and four of their friends. Meanwhile, Althon was at the very end. "You're just a loser, Althon." Alvin laughed. "I've already ordered some employees to wreck your jet ski. You'll stop on the rocks and rot there. I hope it rains so you'll be stuck there longer."Alicia smiled sarcastically. "I'm sure Althon will lose."Althon was still at the back of the group. Randy and his friends prevented him from catching up. "I have to admit that they are very skillful. I can't lose to them."Alvin was almost at the rocks. He observed Althon who was at the very back. "You deserve to be at the very back, Althon."Alvin smiled as he began to enter the rocky area. However, he suddenly froze when the jet ski suddenly slowed down to a stop. "What an asshole! What happened to my jet ski?""Alvin, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly stop?" asked Kevin."This stupid jet ski just suddenly stopped." Alvin whacke
"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
