Adam left the hospital a few moments later, after making sure to delete the message on Cleo's phone.

He intended to just have a confrontation with Gerald, asking why he choose to hunt him and his family.

What exactly did Felix do to him?

On his way to the parking lot, Adam caught sight of a man he wasn't expecting to see.

It was the bald-headed Kent. One of the staffs at the Sales department whole had kicked out, but turned around to destroy all the photos in his office.

Adam remained composed as he approached the man who was just alighting a taxi.

"Mr Carson?" Kent was shocked to meet him, but he quickly hid it from his expression. "What are you going here?" He asked again when Adam didn't give him a reply, just a fierce expression.

"I would like to have a word with you." Adam said so calmly that Kent was confused.

"Alright." Kent quickly settled the driver before turning around to face Adam again. "Look, Mr Carson, I have nothing to do with you right now. Ever since y

    Adam arrived home that day to meet Cleo working on her laptop in her room, looking all serious. "What're you doing?" He asked, his gaze on the several letters floating on the screen. "Trying to hack into Roberto's phone and laptop, I was able to plant a tracking device in his sitting room when I was first abducted." Her fingers kept tapping away at the keyboard with loud taps. "Is this what you intend to use to make him pay?" Adam pulled out a chair behind her. He still couldn't believe how many skills Cleo had. She was a hacker, a trained body guard/ assassin. She could also double as an undercover agent. No wonder why his grandfather recommended her to protect him. Cleo grinned, as she pressed the enter button and a d******d task came on the screen. Adam watched her crooked smile as she waited patiently till the d******d was 100%. She pressed enter and turned around to search her drawer. "I've found it!" "Done what?" Adam asked with a straight face. Cleo glanced back a

    Adam arrived at the Orange-Park Bar at exactly 6.50pm the following day. The lot was starting to get filled with all sorts of luxurious cars, even the lights inside shone of different colors, waiters and waitresses bustling around in preparation for the night. Adam had almost never been in a place like this before. Even from the locations and the air, he could tell that it was a high-end bar where a lot of illegal thing takes place. One even needed to book a reservation at the private rooms to get a spot. He had been totally unable to focus while he was at the office. Richard has been very hardworking these days. After he arrived from his vacation leave, he was able to channel more energy into working harder for the company. That was also probably cause Roberto and his goons were no longer around to frustrate his efforts. Adam’s jaw clenched. That reminds him, Roberto’s suspension was only left with barely two weeks. Two weeks until his cursed cousin returned to start causing issu

    The auction began in earnest. The MC would call the name of a particular antique, the waiters would bring it out and the pricing begins. "One last admonishment before we begin. We do not condone any form of violence here or using fire arms like what happened the last time. Any one who engages in such a distasteful act will be exempted from being invited during the next auction, and would be forever banned from entering this bar!” His words brought up a cloud of murmurs among the audience. “Is this how you intend to repay us after all our hefty investments into your club?” “Exactly. How can you permit someone to take an object I only want for myself?” Adam watched as the uproar grew. This auction wasn’t one among level-headed human beings. It was simply a show-off of wealth among members of the upper-class elites. People who probably had done several illegal things to get money, and would do anything to get what they want! The MC realized his mistake, and quickly apologized. “Our e

    A loud uproar went up the crowd, but the MC kept on anyway. “This pistol was with him everywhere he went, up to when he was having his private bath, and it was used to help him escape death several times. This pistol was one of the first products of the UST Navy 20 years ago, made from the original steel and iron smelted together. Also having a pack of light-weight lead bullets, one of the rarest in the world.” The noise erupted louder as everyone was excited. “Now, who is set to take this breath-taking piece home?” Adam waited until the MC announced the first price. "This mind-boggling pistol will be going for 19 million dollars. Are there others willing to vy further?" "30 million dollars!" A man immediately raised his placard. "40 million dollars!" Another shouted. "I'll gladly drop 50 million dollars for that pistol!" In no time, the price went up to 100 million, making it the first item at the auction crossing that mark tonight. The MC was already trembling with excitem

    "How exactly are you going to repay for this mistake?" He encircled Adam with slow strides, anger and rage emitting from his body. "You seem to be new at the auction. I've never seen anyone that dares to go against me, the Almighty Gerald! So who gave you the audacity?" "Who gave me the audacity?" Adam asked, raising his head slowly. "You really want to know?" He looked deep into the man's eyes as if daring him to a challenge. Gerald was dumbstruck for a second, before Adam's face registered in his memory. "So it's you!" "Yes, Mr Gerald. It's me, Adam Carson. Have we met before?" He stretched his hands for an handshake. Gerald stared at his hand like it was a piece of shit. Adam carefully retracted his hand. "And this would be my first time attending an auction like this, I was simply playing by the regulations, where exactly did I break the rules?" "You!" Gerald scoffed. "Are you really going to pretend like you don't understand what I'm saying?" "Come clear." Adam placed

    Meanwhile Adam's ears were ringing as he drove his car back home. He could imagine the amount of rage pumping through that man's blood right now. "Bastard! Next time you try to hurt my family, I'll end your life that day!" He arrived home after ascertaining that no one was following him. To be safe, Adam parked the car outside the estate and changed the car plate number without anyone noticing. It was a rented car anyway, the owner would come pick it here by tomorrow. He trekked the remaining distance to his house, arriving to meet Cleo and Amelia having a good time watching cartoons while munching on snacks. "Big bro, where are you coming from?" Amelia's sudden question caught him off guard. "Oh, Princess. I...I went out with some friends." Adam scratches his head, stuttering. Cleo threw him a look, but didn't say a word. "Really? Did you have fun?" Amelia smiled. Adam was pleased that he wanted to know, so he settled on the couch beside her and explained how the auct

    They exchanged glances with each other. "You might not understand right now, but there's good news coming our way. Unfortunately, it will run out to be bad news for some certain people!" Max shook his head with a sneer. "Yeah. Roberto is returning. Isn't that all there is? What's there to be excited about that fool's return?" "Oh, when the time comes. You'll understand what we mean?" Sean merely laughed, his fierce gaze on Adam. "We just came to tell you to enjoy your position while it lasts, who knows when it will be snatched abruptly and you end up getting kicked out!" He ended up grabbing Garrett and leaving the same way he came. "Good luck for what's to come. You'll surely need it!" Max made a sign of kill before scrambling after his friends as well. Perry was about to ask Adam what he thought about their words just now but he stopped her. "Just ignore them. Whatever they have planned is not enough to shake me in any way!" She started at him, feeling reassured by the confi

    "Nothing would happen to you, grandpa." Adam grabbed hold of his hands. "Please stop predicting doom. You'll go in and come out safely!" "My health might be failing, but my cognition is still okay, boy. I'm already well past 80. There would always be higher risk of complications, so just heed whatever I have to say." Adam nodded without saying a word further. "I want to appoint you as the President of Walters Corporations, kid. But you should understand that with great power comes great responsibilities!" Isaac's face turned serious. "I have been monitoring your growth at the company, and I have heard several testimonies from different board members. You're a hard-working and tenacious man." "But you have to work harder to prove that you deserve this position, do you understand?" Isaac asked. Adam only nodded. "Work harder, sure I will. I can guess you have some tasks for me already?" "Yep. For now, I'll only sign the deed of transfer of position to you before I go for my trea

Philip asked him. "That bastard was driven by envy to set me up and heap a lot of false allegations against me!

While you were out fighting for your company, I was actually fighting for my life!"Felix stared at his old friend for a while before taking in a deep breath and looking away.

He was one of the people that forged the document presented at Walters Corporations recently!""What?" Isaac suddenly butted in. "A member of the police aided in forgery?

    Isaac’s eyes darkened tremendously as he gazed into his son’s fierce eyes. “A…Are you threatening me right now?”“Take it however you like, old man. Answer my question already, I don’t have all day!” Felix smiled bitterly. As he said this, he retrieved his phone and almost immediately, a recording was playing.Isaac’s heart palpitated as he heard himself from 15 years ago, gearing Williams on when he started turning into a cruel kid.He swallowed hard, his fearful gaze zeroed in on the man in front of him. “Y…You can’t betray your father like this!”“Who says I can’t?” Felix let out a mocking laughter. “Did my own father consider me when he was making bad decisions?”The old man stumbled back on trembling legs and fell on the sofa, his eyes reflecting fear and angst.“Dad, please.” Adam had to jump in at this point. “We can talk this out. We should all be on the same team, not working against each other.”“You tell that to your grandfather, is he ready to work with us and stop hiding

    "You can come in." Adam said to the person at the door. Isaac picked up his napkin to wipe his lips when his hands froze. "S...Son?"Starting back at him was his very own beloved son, Felix Walters. "Father," Felix growled in disdain, his face hard as he took a few steps forward. "S...Son, you're awake?" 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!" Felix grabbed his hands, stepping away from his touch. He glanced around the huge hall, his face getting colder. "I can see you you've been having a good time while I lay unconscious.""Son, you can't say that." Isaac muttered, pain in his voice. "Do you have an idea how I torture myself to sleep every night? My nightmare are plagued by regrets and agony. If I didn't throw you out when you came running back for my help, you wouldn't be in that condition, your wife would still be alive and your childr

    Seraphina stared at Adam like he’d grown two heads. “What the hell is this freak doing here anyway?” She turned to ask her mother. “Too bad you don’t appreciate good business advices.” Adam shook his head in pity. “Anyway, I’m here to see the document you claimed I sign to hand over my Mall to you.” “You’re kidding, Adam.” Seraphina laughed. “Even if you saw it, what are you going to about it, we have submitted the letter to the Ministry of works and it passed through the due process. Challenging them is like challenging the Governor himself.” “Leave this deluded man, come tell me what Mr Brooklyn wanted!” Lori waved him off like a stray dog. She managed to drag Seraphina into a more private area. Adam ignored them, heading back to the main hall. The leader of the goons who had managed to get up despite his sprained his ankle. He grabbed the man by the hair. “Where did your Boss keep the safe for important documents?” The man shook his fists angrily. “Don’t touch me, you-“ he was

    After ascertaining the same set of report from Jude as well, Adam also worked him some money after getting off the call. "I heard she'll be at the Mall tomorrow morning, I'll be visiting to warn her to back off." He said so calmly that Cleo paused her hands on the new bandage she was wrapping around Holton's head. "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. Just wait and watch what will happen." Adam said and spun around. "I'll also visit those useless people, but not with you." Cleo muttered, returning back to the bandage. Adam got into his room and placed a call to Barry. "I have a huge job for you." "As long as the pay is fat as well." Barry laughed. "Money is not an issue, I just found out the 4 set of people that are meant to judge the Annual Prestigious Family Awards. Look into them and give me feedback by tomorrow morning." "A

    "So you're saying I can't see my friend right now to clarify the issues between us?" Philip asked, his voice grave. "I get how you feel, uncomfortable cause of the kind of hatred your friend is showing towards you due to a misunderstanding, but please we have to be cautious." Adam explained seriously. "My father just woke up from coma and we cannot afford to be taking too much risks right now!" Adam didn't care if he came off as harsh. He really had to make sure it sank into this man's head. He knew how stubborn and impulsive Philip could be, same with his father Felix. "Alright. I've heard you. I'll try to avoid the confrontation for now." Philip replied and disconnected the call. "Why was he unable to reach you?" Richard asked as Adam returned the phone. "Don't tell me you directed his calls to voicemail?" Adam looked away in guilt, "what could I have done? I need to avoid speaking to him until my father is better." Richard nodded, parting his shoulders. "Dinner or later, th

    At the office the following day, Adam hadn't as much as stepped out of the lift when he heard a commotion at the entrance of the board room. Ernestine, Thomas and Richard were at the door, yelling at someone to come open it. "What is going on here?" Adam walked briskly to approach them. "Ah, thank God you're here, Carson. Can you speak to Roberto and ask him to open the door at once?" Adam peeked in and see Roberto sitting at the head of the table, stating at something on his phone. "We intended to use this place for our meeting, and we were already seated, but this brat suddenly barged in and ordered the guards to send us out!" Ernestine was fuming red. "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. "Please calm down, let me try to talk some sense into his brains." Adam tried to coax them. He couldn't blame them for being so upset though. Roberto was already crossin

"If not for you, my family might well still be in a good condition! It's all your fault, the fake report you gave the police was what ruined my company and my family!" Adam dashed forward in a effort to restrain his father. "Dad, please!" Apart from the fact that he was over-exrrtibg himself and firing his muscles to move, he was also conjuring up the emotions of the past which could be fatal. "Can you please calm down. You just came awake, you can't be moving so much!" Adam explained his father, buy the man still kept sending death glares to Philip. "It was all a misunderstanding, Felix. I didn't know that report could ruin your company's image so much." "Was that why you lied against me?" Felix hissed hotly. "You and the investigators knew that there was no signs of hard drugs in my company facilities, but you went ahead and wrote a report on

    110: Philip is the Traitor!

    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
