Anthony waited for Althon's arrival in the main room. He was very worried after hearing that Alex, Alexa, and Albert were visiting Sky Heaven. “Althon, are you okay?” Anthony stood up instantly when he saw Althon enter the house with Alan and the guards. “I'm fine, Grandpa. I enjoyed this dinner.” Althon sat down on the sofa. “What's wrong, Grandpa? You look scared.”“Althon.” Anthony took a deep breath. “I was so worried when I found out Alex, Alex, and Albert were visiting Sky Heaven. I was afraid they would see you.”“You didn't have to worry, Grandpa. I hurried away when I found out they were visiting.”Anthony breathed a sigh of relief. “That's a relief. Your whereabouts must still be a closely guarded secret from the Leander family, Althon.”Althon rested in his room, staring at the ceiling. He felt guilty for making Anthony worry. “I need to study and train harder.”Althon opened Ansen, watching the hologram screen. “Alex, Alexa, and Albert are Arnold's children. They are ach
“Don't disappoint your family a second time, Noah, Alvin.” James patted Alvin and Noah on the shoulder. “We're all counting on you.”Alvin and Noah nodded, entered the car, and waved goodbye to James and all the Julian family members who were escorting them away. Alvin and Noah looked very tense. This was their chance to make things right for their family and correct their mistakes. “We can't afford to make even the slightest mistake, Alvin. We must focus on our task to meet Mr. Sean. We must comply with all the conditions he puts on us,” Noah said. “I understand.” Alvin clenched his fists tightly, watching his ringing cell phone. “Alicia called me.”Noah turned off Alvin's cell phone. “You have to remember Dad's message, Alvin. You don't have any relationship with Alicia anymore. If you have any more contact with her, Dad will kick you out and won't consider you his son anymore.”Noah let out a long breath, scrutinizing his appearance. “I destroyed our family because of a small m
Alvin couldn't hold back his emotions anymore. “You ....”Noah instantly covered Alvin's mouth, clenching his fists tightly. He cursed Althon with swearing in his heart. "Althon, you've soaked my shirt and Alvin's. You were careless in your work. I hope you don't make repeated mistakes that hurt someone."Noah pulled Alvin toward the elevator. "Calm down, Alvin. It's just a small problem. We can change our clothes. We still have some time before we meet with Mr. Sean. I'm sure Mr. Sean sent Althon to test us. If we act badly, we'll be kicked out of this place right away."Alvin observed his drenched appearance. His face was very red, and he was breathing heavily. “You're right, Noah.”Alvin and Noah hurried to change in the restroom. They went through the long hallway, looking for Althon. “Althon's not in this hallway.” Noah looked around. "The floor is neat and clean. He... worked very quickly."The workers suddenly walked out of the room, walking towards Alvin and Noah.“What happe
“Mr. Sean.”Alvin and Noah were very tense when they heard James' voice. Sean had contacted their father. Sean explained, “Alvin and Noah agreed to my terms. I will lift the Julian family's punishment based on Alvin and Noah's performance. If they work very well for two months, I will lift the punishment of entering Emerald Place. If they work harder and better in the following months, I will lift the Julian family's punishment completely.""Thank you, Mr. Sean. I appreciate your kindness. I'm sure Alvin and Noah will do their job very well."Sean hung up the phone. "Your father and family have high hopes for you. Your performance will determine the future of you and your families. You must make the most of this opportunity."Alvin and Noah leaned over, staring blankly. They saw darkness for six months of their lives. “Thank you, sir.”"You will start work tomorrow. My subordinates will send you the details of your assignments later. Get out of my office now and prepare yourselves as
Althon returned home after Arnold left. He felt very annoyed even though he only heard and saw his uncle from afar. “Grandpa, are you okay?” Althon asked as he approached, sitting next to Anthony.Anthony let out a long breath. "I'm fine, Althon. Arnold seems to have visited without telling me first. We should be more careful."“I understand, Grandpa.” Althon suddenly became pensive. He felt his chest tighten as he recalled his parents' story from Anthony. "I will avenge all your crimes. I will never forgive you.""Arnold asked me to visit his house and my other sons. In addition, he asked me to move the family gathering forward. He wants the family meeting to be held in two months."“Why did he do that, Grandpa?”"Arnold wants me to hand over the Leander family heir status to him immediately. He was very ambitious to become the family heir. He even went so far as to plot the murder of you and your parents, Althon."Anthony suddenly burst into tears, touching his suddenly tight chest
Arnold, Aaron, and Andy would often meet Anthony unannounced. Althon was very annoyed that he could do nothing but hide in a safe place. After the visit of his three uncles, Anthony's condition would worsen. Althon channeled his anger into studying and practicing very hard. He rarely took a day off. Althon was practicing martial arts in the large courtyard with several bodyguards. It was almost frustrating that he could never beat them. The fighting suddenly stopped when Alan entered the arena. "Young Master, Mr. Aaron is visiting with Mr. Andrew and Mr. Aldhen this afternoon. They are still on their way now. Master Anthony asked me to take you to safety." Althon snorted in annoyance. “They pissed me off so much.” Althon hurried to hide in the forest, continuing his training in the arena. Ten minutes later, a group of cars pulled up in front of the terrace. Aaron, Andrew, and Aldhen got out of the car, hugging Anthony in turn. Anthony pretended to be happy even though he w
Althon and Anthony had dinner in silence. The rain was pouring down heavily. Lightning boomed several times, and the wind blew very hard. Althon felt very angry about his current situation. He felt like a useless figure when Anthony was distressed by the arrival of his sons and grandchildren. “Althon, I have important information for you,” Anthony said after taking a sip of his drink. “You must listen carefully.”Althon put down his cutlery. “Sure, Grandpa.”"I know you're depressed about your current situation. However, you must remember that everything in this world has its time. Don't think that your efforts in training and learning are useless. You've shown a huge change from when you first came to this mansion."Althon listened intently. "Althon, I have received a report on your training and learning. You've shown remarkable results. I honestly didn't expect you to have changed so much."Anthony smiled. “Althon, I'm going to give you an assignment to measure your mastery of bu
Althon hugged Anthony before leaving for his assignment. He was worried about his grandfather, but he knew Anthony would get worse if he stayed at home. "Grandpa, I'm going to miss you so much. I'll see you when I'm done,” Althon said. “I'm sure you can do it, Althon.” Anthony turned to Alan for a moment. "Alan will be with me while you run errands. Someone will take over his duties while he is at home. "A man suddenly approached and bowed to Althon. "I am Ali, your new trusted assistant, Young Master. I will take over Alan's duties as best I can.""Ali is Alan's cousin. He is the son of one of your father's confidants, Althon. Alan directly appointed Ali to take over his duties. He's been working abroad all this time. He rushed home after I asked him to take care of you. Do you mind?""Of course not, Grandpa. You and Alan trust Ali, and I have no reason not to. He seems strong and reliable." Althon was increasingly convinced that this assignment was to keep him away from home. Th
"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
