Chapter Eight: The Owner.

Chapter Eight: The Owner.

THIS is insane! How could Sylvester Braxon be his godfather?!

That's what everyone was thinking right now after hearing Paxton’s revelation. They couldn't believe it! While Morgan was stunned, he was still processing all of what he heard. He realized the reason why he closed a $100 million deal with Golden Realty Company! It was all because Golden Realty is under Braxon Empire!

“You’ve got to be kidding us, how will you prove that Sylvester Braxon was your godfather?” Levi asked, in an insulting tone. “How could a poor man like you have a connection with a rich billionaire like him?” 

Paxton shrugged and then he smiled. “How did you all suspect that I am poor?” he asked. “Was that because I am not wearing expensive clothes? Or was it because I lined up through those filthy men who want to marry Lorelei for their own good?”

Lorelei was surprised by how her husband fought back against her brother. She thought that Paxton doesn’t have the courage to fight for himself whenever someone insults him. Seeing him in a proud tone, it seemed that what she was thinking was right. Paxton has secrets that he hasn’t told her yet.

“See? I told you!” Brittany exclaimed. “A limited edition car worth $8.8 million isn’t just a rented car!”

Darius gritted his teeth and then clenched his fists. “So who are you anyway? Are you a rich guy hiding in those trashy clothes?” he laughed, mockingly.

“As I said, I am a dermatologist,” Paxton replied calmly.

“Which hospital are you working at, then?” Levi added.

“At Golden’s Medical Center.”

Everyone knew that Golden’s Medical Center is one of the most prestigious hospitals in the country with over ten branches. But that doesn’t mean that he’s wealthy just because he was working at a prestigious hospital. Darius laughed hard, he couldn’t help but do his best to humiliate Paxton more. He’s starting to feel insulted, he won’t step back! He has to prove that he’s more capable and powerful!

“You’re being so full of yourself just because you’re a mere dermatologist in a prestigious hospital. You’ve got to be kidding me!” He continued laughing.

Paxton smiled politely. “I am the owner of Golden’s Medical Center.”

Silence permeated the meeting room. Even Darius’ insulting laugh subsided. Looking through Paxton’s expression, it seemed like he wasn’t bluffing!

“How? Don’t fool us!” Levi yelled. “You’ll end up regretting every lie that you are telling us! So don’t lie!”

But Paxton smirked and propped his arms on the table. “I am Paxton Braxon. You can search for it on the web. I know you’re not all dumb, you know how to use the internet, right?”

No one moved at what he said. Only Brittany quickly took out her iPad and browse the web. After searching, she gasped in surprise to see Paxton Braxon as the owner of Golden’s Medical Center then she showed her iPad to them.

“He was the owner!” she squirmed. 

Darius snatched the iPad and browse the net. He gripped the iPad and then stood up. Blood rushed through his face as it fueled him knowing that he’s losing this argument.

“I don’t care if you’re an owner of this hospital! You’re just a tiny business owner to me. You haven’t reached my level!” he yelled.

They all screamed in horror when Darius forcefully throw the iPad on the ground and stepped on it. Smashing the iPad into pieces. Brittany who was beside him was shocked, she couldn’t move!

“That's mine!” Brittany said with teary eyes.

He looked up to them with his raging eyes then pointed to Morgan with his finger. “If you don’t persuade your daughter to divorce this fucking bastard, I’ll withdraw all of the investments that I invested in your lowly company! I will also pull out our future projects! Don’t provoke me!” 

After saying those words, he stormed out of the meeting room, leaving them behind. The old Lord of the Marshall family stood up, worriedly. He feels like everything that he worked hard on fell apart! 

“Lord Darius! Wait, you can’t do this to us!” Morgan shouted. He was about to run to the door but then the next thing they knew, he clenched his chest and started to have difficulty in his breathing.

He tried to gasp for air but his chest tightened more, his knees wobble and his body weakened.

“Dad? Dad!” Levi stood up from his seat and immediately run toward their father.

Everyone was shocked at what happened, Morgan fell to the ground! If Levi didn’t catch him on time, he probably hit his head!

Paxton stood up and then took out his phone from the pocket of his coat. He quickly called 911 emergency.

“Dad!” Levi yelled and then looked up to Paxton. “This is all your fault! If you didn’t provoke Darius, if you just agree to divorce my sister then this won’t happen!” 

He ignored Levi’s anger. To provoke Darius was his plan anyway. He wants to see how high Darius’s ego and it seemed like it was higher than he expected. He knows that it wasn’t Lorelei that he want right now, it was his pride that Paxton insulted. If it weren’t because of his ego, then it won’t go this far.

“Who are you calling?! Call 911, you bastard!” Levi shouted.

Sharon was now getting panicked as well as Brittany and Lorelei. While Paxton walked towards Morgan and sat down in front of him, telling them to step back.

“What are you going to do to my father?!”

Paxton was the only one that didn’t panic inside the meeting room. He checked Morgan’s nose if he was still breathing and when he felt nothing, he put both his hands on Morgan’s chest to perform CPR. 

“He’ll be fine, don’t worry. All you have to do right now was to get ready. The ambulance will be here soon,” he replied.

Although they were all mad at Paxton, they couldn’t help but let him save their father. Because if not, no one can save Morgan Marshall.
