Mrs. Hawthorne and Spencer came into my room, led by Landon. Preston and Landon came out of the room and gave us some privacy. Mrs. Hawthorne and Spencer had time to go around and touch some of the items in this room."Why does my husband give you such luxurious facilities?" Mrs. Hawthorne flashed an unpleasant smile."I know now why you've been brave with us. You've felt how good it feels to be rich, haven't you?" Spencer also made the atmosphere cloudy."Mrs. Hawthorne and Spencer, let's discuss the matter at hand." I try to shift their focus to the problem that should be solved.The two of them immediately turned around and sat on the sofa without waiting for me to sit down. Mrs. Hawthorne looked at me and asked, "So, what about your responsibility to solve this problem?"I didn't expect to be accused like this. I myself also didn't know the problem would become this big. After all, it wasn't just me who made this a big deal, Spencer was also involved in it. I glanced briefly at Sp
Megan has become calmer after expressing all her emotions. I took him out of the room and even down to the basement of the car park. It's nothing, I just wanted to make sure he really came back safely."Thank you very much, Theo." Megan smiled slightly and waved her hand."Hm, be careful." I waved back and looked at him, walking towards the car he parked not far from the hotel entrance.When Megan got into her car, I turned around and planned to go back to the hotel. At the same time, Preston came half-running towards me. "Sir," he called with a smile."Are you here yet?" I asked when I saw him appear in front of me, even though the sun was just about to set. "Why are you so early?" I muttered.We continued walking into the hotel and pressed the up button on the elevator. Preston walked a little ahead of me and waited for the elevator to come down. "Mr. Hawthorne is still asleep, so I can stay and leave him with the nurse."The ding sound in the elevator rang, and the elevator door op
A man appeared and managed to attract everyone's attention, including myself. The man walked with authority, approaching and stopping beside my body. I couldn't stop looking at him because I couldn't believe what I was seeing."Mr. Hawthorne?" I muttered, half-whispering, to him.I don't know how I would look in front of the camera, but I was really surprised. Preston did not tell Mr. Hawthorne that he had improved. I looked at Preston and at Mr. Hawthorne in turn. Preston just smiled before leaving his position."It's all true." Mr. Hawthorne reiterated his sentence."Is it true?" All the media crew immediately turned away from me and gathered around Mr. Hawthorne.I, who had prepared the material to carry out this clarification, just canceled it. All plans changed due to the appearance of Mr. Unexpected Hawthorne. I'm still looking at Mr. Hawthorne and can't believe it. I was both stunned and shocked by it all."What you want to know, I will answer now." Mr. Hawthorne continued his
When Preston and I were panicking about taking care of Mr. Hawthorne, who had been lying on the floor for two minutes, Mrs. Victoria and Spencer didn't do anything. They just stood and looked at us expressionlessly. I really wanted to scream at them and immediately seek help. However, what can I do? I'm nothing, right?"Mr. Hawthorne, hold on. Please," I whispered.I tried to listen to Mr. Hawthorne by putting my ear close. I can still feel it bit by bit, even though it's very weak. I looked back at Preston, who had finished walking around looking for and calling for help."Preston, how is it?" I asked again."In a moment, they will be here. I'll let you go downstairs, sir." Preston was informed immediately."Okay, hurry!" I panicked even more when I saw no movement at all from Mr. Hawthorne."There's no need to look so worried," explained Mrs. Victoria in an annoying tone.I didn't look back at him at all or even respond to his words. I was trying to hold back my emotions, which had
"Get out of here!" Mrs. Hawthorne shouted like he was right at home. "Go out!""Madam, please don't scream in the hospital." The doctor, who had been a silent witness, spoke."Go out!" Mrs. Hawthorne didn't care what the doctor said at all.Finally, I had no other choice but to leave. Preston also followed me out, leaving Mrs. Hawthorne and Spencer. I came out, then looked at Preston with mixed feelings."Why would you do that? They would definitely be mad at me, I can't do this, Preston. I can't take it all," I explained quickly. "Now the paper is torn, so I'm free from all this."Preston just listened to me without replying to what I said. I turned away from him and walked away. Preston followed me in silence until I felt uncomfortable and turned around."Why are you still following me? I have no ties to any of this." I confirmed it irritably."But the will cannot be changed, sir. Whatever happens, you will still be Mr. Hawthorne's heir and successor." Preston didn't give up and kep
That night, I slept completely alone in a very large house. If people are allowed to come in, at least 30 people will live in this house, not including household assistants. I slept in the main bedroom, which had been renovated and replaced with everything newer. I don't know when they got around to doing this.I stared at the ceiling while muttering to myself, "Mom, look at me now as a person who suddenly became successful. Oh, no, but rich because of the inheritance from Mr. Hawthrone."I took a deep breath before continuing my sentence, "I don't know what I should do with all this. However, I consider this a gift. So, I will try to look after it carefully."Immediately, I thought that my mother, Ms. Olivia, and Mr. Hawthorne were meeting. I imagined it and started to guess what they were talking about now. Do they still love each other, or do they hate each other?"Mr. Hawthorne, take good care of my mother, okay?" I smiled before the sleepiness came over me.I closed my eyes and f
I returned to the place where Samantha and I first met. This time, not at night but during the day. The atmosphere in this place is a little different because there are no visitors yet, apart from the staff who are starting to clean each room and get ready."Please come in," said the guard, who was different from before.I bowed and walked into Beaumont High. When we got inside, there was another bodyguard wearing almost the same formal clothes as me. "Through this way."The guard led me into a long hallway that reached the back of the building. There is a special room where it is written that entry is prohibited. The bodyguard opened the door for me, and then I went inside."Thank you," I said, walking into the dimly lit room.I glanced around the room and saw Samantha sitting with a half-finished bottle of wine and a spinning glass in her hand. I walked over to her and called her name, "Samantha."Samantha immediately turned her face towards me while stopping the movement of the gla
"Preston, please clear the schedule after lunch." I said this to Preston while looking at my watch. "I will meet with Heather's family to arrange our cooperation.""Yes sir." Preston nodded before holding the elevator door open so I could get out.I walked with authority towards my office. I unbuttoned my jacket in the middle. Preston helped open the door to my room while delivering the briefcase to the work desk. I saw that there were piles of files still left on the table."Thank you, Preston." I never forget to say that."My pleasure, sir." Preston bowed before walking out and returning to his desk, which was located in front of my room.I sat in a work chair that was no longer comfortable for me. When I sit in this chair, I must be ready to face all the things that come up regarding the company. I also need to check everything and make sure everything is running well."Excuse me, Mr. Hawthorne." An employee's voice was heard after knocking on the door three times.I raised my head
