    "What did you just say?" Charles burst out laughing. "Look at the pot calling kettle black!""And what exactly are you trying to say? Do you think everyone is as callous and cruel as you are?" Philip shot back at him. They were already getting caught in their own works again, so Adam had to step in to calm the man down.

Isaac's eyes was still wide with shock. He stumbled up in an attempt to reach out and touch his son. "After 9 months, you're finally awake!""And you have a lot of explaining to do!"

"And what has your threats accomplished during the past few months?" She placed her hands on her waist, glaring at him. "Nothing! Absolutely nothing!" "I don't intend to argue with you.

"Can you imagine the guts of that bastard? When did he become the President that he's already throwing his weight around?" Thomas was also totally pissed.

    Adam sat still for a while, allowing the words to sink in. Williams was an illegitimate son! Now, all the crimes he committed made more sense. He had been wondering how a son could put his own father through such emotional blackmail, exposing him to ridicule and humiliation. Now, everything was clear. Isaac was never his father, therefore there was no obligation to show him kind feelings. And now, his father, the legitimate son was the one bearing the brunt of all the drama. A muscle ticked Adam’s jaw as he lifted his eyes to his father’s face. His lashes were fluttering! Adam jumped up, rushing to the ECG machine to monitor his vitals. Everything was normal. Adam’s heart raced with excitement. Seems his father was about to wake up. Philip and Richard were still speaking to each other, oblivious to what was happening. “I always knew that Williams of a man would be bad blood. It won’t be far-fetched if he is the person behind all of this. He always hated Felix and showed it when
