" So, why are you here? " asked Quantin, scrutinizing Peter Typson carefully." Mr. Quantin ! The REYNOLDS family recently acquired this hospital, and I have been tasked with discussing some commercial proposals with the director," replied Peter Typson in a calm and composed voice." Very interesting. And what kind of agreement could the REYNOLDS family offer to benefit this establishment? " asked Quantin, with his eyebrows furrowed in anticipation of an answer." The REYNOLDS family believes that they can invest in improving the facilities, recruiting additional staff, and modernizing essential equipment to better serve patients," explained Peter Typson with a diplomatic tone.The hospital director suddenly realized that Quantin was actually a member of the prestigious REYNOLDS family." Quantin REYNOLDS ? Oh...I'm definitely in trouble," he thought silently, regretting his passive behavior towards Quantin.Then, Quantin stared intensely at the director, who began to feel uncomfortab
Quantin frowned, displeased to see the saleswomen again." Do you know who I am now, you idiots? " he snapped aggressively.The customers and saleswomen stared at each other, stunned." Of course, we know who you are. How could we forget the man we humiliated? " thought one of the saleswomen." We're sorry, sir. We didn't know..." stammered the second saleswoman, her eyes brimming with tears." You didn't know what ? " Quantin asked with biting cruelty." That I was so rich? Or that the suffering you inflicted on me with your arrogance and greed was unjust? " he added with a bitter tone.The saleswomen remained silent, ashamed and frightened. Some customers looked away uncomfortably.Quantin made a disdainful grimace." You're all worthless scum."" Because of you, I was severely tortured, and today, I'm confined to a wheelchair. You will all regret your actions," he concluded with a threatening air.He then turned to his escort and nodded. Two armored vehicles entered the store, rele
Immediately, medical specialists rushed to operate on Quantin for more than ten hours in a desperate attempt to save his life.After a marathon operation, the Chief Surgeon came out, visibly exhausted, to address Quantin's surviving bodyguards." Your boss's situation is critical. We did everything in our power, but his injuries were too severe. His body went into shock and suffered multiple organ failure. We put him on a ventilator, but the next 24 hours will be critical. His chances of survival are very low."Suddenly, Quantin's bodyguards lowered their heads, gazing at the ground with sadness. Some wept silently, fearing the worst.In the intensive care unit, Quantin was hooked up to a respirator and dozens of medical devices to monitor his vital functions." He will remain in a coma for several weeks," added the surgeon." That can't be true! The grandson of the most powerful man in the country is in critical condition. You must act immediately! " shouted the chief of the bodyguar
Mirenda stood there, stunned. Tears streamed down her face as she cried out loud. " No... No. This can't be happening." She looked around, searching for a way out of this nightmare situation. " I've lost everything.All the power, all the money ! Why? It's not fair," she wondered. Meanwhile, Peter Typson stood near the door, satisfied with himself. He couldn't help but conceal a sly smile as Mirenda cried in despair. " Now that Quentin is dead, the inheritance rightfully belongs to me as Richard Reynolds' most loyal friend and employee," he thought silently. As he was already contemplating his future projects, a nurse approached Peter Typson. " Mr. Typson, we had an agreement. I did what you asked me to do and injected Mr. Quantin with a product to end his life. Now, I want my payment." Peter sighed. " Patience, nurse. You will get your money. For now, speak more quietly." He slipped an envelope into her hands. The nurse opened it and found a large stack of bills inside. " Thi
All eyes turned with astonishment to the hooded man who had just revealed himself. It was indeed Quantin, alive and well. Immediately, the Reynolds family was overcome with tears of joy upon seeing him." My son, you're alive! " exclaimed Richard Reynolds, rushing to embrace Quantin in his arms.Meanwhile, Mirenda and Peter Typson remained frozen in place, their faces pale with fear. Their sinister plan had miserably failed.Peter's mind raced as he tried to comprehend what was happening." How is it that Quantin is still alive? I had everything planned for the nurse to end his life. I even paid an exorbitant price for it," he suddenly wondered." How could she have failed in her mission? I need an explanation," he concluded.As the festivities continued, Peter discreetly slipped out through the back door before dialing the nurse's number with a trembling hand." You told me he had died! " he hissed into the phone, his voice vibrating with intense anger.The nurse, caught off guard, s
[ Two weeks later in PARIS ]The royal suite of the Bristol Paris is filled with murmurs as more than a thousand well-dressed guests mingle and examine the dazzling 24-carat gold ring encrusted with rare pink diamonds on display.Quantin walks through the crowd, recognizing many familiar faces that have graced the covers of business magazines and tabloids. His heart swells with pride to be among these industry titans and nobility. Until a thundering voice cuts short the chatter." Oh! Could it be the young Quantin, the school cafeteria cleaner, that we see there? "Quantin turned around to find two men with mocking smiles, Harvey and Brad, his former university bullies. His mood deteriorated instantly at the sight of them." I must admit, I'm somewhat surprised they allowed this former school cafeteria cleaner in," Brad said with a sneering chuckle." Is it that you have no shoes to shine, Quantin? " he added mockingly." I no longer work as a school cafeteria cleaner, Brad. In case y
Harvey and Brad let out victory cries as they watched Quantin writhing in pain on the ground." No matter how wealthy you are now, you will always remain weak and pathetic in our eyes! " Harvey announced in a hoarse voice to Quantin.Brad then ripped the ring off Quantin's finger and added." It's ours now, loser. " before bursting out laughing.They skipped away in joy, mocking Quantin's cries of pain as he slowly struggled to get back up.Suddenly, a new energy began to flow through Quantin's veins like a tidal wave. The pain disappeared, replaced by blind fury. Vengeance echoed in his ears." Give me that ring, OR YOU WILL DIE," he spat, lunging at them like a beast.Harvey, taken aback, nearly choked." What...how did you get up so quickly? Never mind. It seems we must defeat you for good."Immediately, Harvey launched a violent uppercut, but Quantin evaded it with an almost supernatural grace, seizing his wrist and twisting it in a brutal fracture." The only ones who will be def
Quentin froze in place, petrified by the scene unfolding before his eyes. He couldn't believe what he was seeing." Mirenda... who is this man? " he asked, his voice trembling.Mirenda gave a slight smile as she glanced at the man she was kissing." Here is my new husband. We got married this morning," she replied calmly.Quentin's heart stopped for a moment, then he felt dizzy and on the verge of fainting." Impossible... you... you lied to me! " he exclaimed, dismayed and deeply hurt." I've never lied to you. In fact, I've never loved you," replied Mirenda, a provocative smile on her lips.Quentin shook his head, unable to accept this truth. He fell to his knees and took her hands." I beg of you, my love, don't do this to me. I can't live without you! " he exclaimed, uttering these words before the gathered crowd.The soldiers, Mirenda, and her new husband burst out laughing at such a scene they found highly amusing." Let us contemplate this rich and pathetic heir of the Reynolds
