"Mr. Reese, we did everything we could to save your son's leg, but his femur, tibia, patella, fibula, and tarsal bones were shattered beyond repair. We were able to minimize the pain from his broken legs, but that's all we were able to do. Unfortunately, he'll have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life," the doctor announced in the quiet hospital ward belonging to Hermes Reese.The room was filled to the brim with every member of the Reese family. Most of them began whispering amongst themselves in hushed voices while some sneered in secret and others became agitated and began laying curses on Ethan Black.The most agitated of them was Kira Melville, but not because of the condition her son was in."What does that mean? What will now happen to the Reese family if Hermes is confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life? Does that mean Jethro will take over the family's assets?" She turned to the middle-aged man standing beside Hermes' bed and questioned worriedly.Killian

When Ethan finished with the Reese family, he got into his car and drove straight to Astoria Corporation with Kane."Who's that? He's handsome.""They both are.""Yes, they are. But the other one looks more manly, handsome, and my type of men."Ethan and Kane alighted from the Koenigsegg Jesko in Astoria Corporation's vicinity to hear some girls giggling behind their backs.The girls were huddled together and whispering amongst themselves, but somehow, the boys standing opposite them and leaning on the back of a sportscar heard them.They glanced at the said 'handsome men' and scoffed in annoyance after analyzing what kind of people they were."The car isn't branded. What kind of person moves around in an unbranded car?" The first boy scoffed after spending more than five seconds looking at the Koenigsegg Jesko over."Most importantly, they look very ordinary. And they are driving around in an unbranded car, which I heard can be gotten with just a few dollar bills. My Lamborghini cost

The security men, rushing to beat up Ethan, were the first to recognize the man in an impeccably pressed three-piece suit. He looked to be in his early forties and had a dignified air around him."Mr. Haworth, you're here. I apologize for letting you see something like this. Please give me a few minutes to take care of these eyesores!" The security man who had shoved the assistant aside scurried up to Josiah Haworth and apologized with his face turned towards the ground."Yes, Mr. Haworth. We just encountered a brief problem with these troublemakers, and we were just about to resolve it before you came." Another security man hurriedly seconded, and soon, everyone was nodding their heads in agreement.Hearing it was just some troublemakers, Josiah immediately lost interest. And here he thought Mr. Black was already here."Hurry up and take care of it then. I'll be having a very important guest in a few minutes. I wouldn't want him to meet such an unsightly scene." He hummed leisurely,

Before the elderly man could say anything, the security men kneeling on the floor beat him to it."Chairman Haworth, please believe me when I say I didn't know he was your guest. If I had known, I would've taken good care of him. Those insolent kids earlier threatened us with making our lives miserable if we didn't drag him out of the vicinity. We were just following orders!" One of them pleaded in a loud voice and began hitting his forehead on the floor to show his sincerity."He didn't look like someone who should be in Astoria Corporation, so we fell for their lies that he is a loser. It was really not our intention to treat your guest this way!" Another pleaded, trying to pin all the blame on Ramsey and his friends."You tried to treat him this way because of how he was dressed? You, a mere security man, tried to drive out the..."Before he could complete his sentence with 'owner of Astoria Corporation from his company,' Ethan placed a hand on his neck and cleared his throat.This

"How dare you bring your scrap here when Grandpa sent you a limousine? Chloe, are you that determined to tarnish this family's image?" Lewis William hollered furiously as soon as he saw Chloe and Ethan get out of the Koenigsegg Jesko.Lewis was putting on an expensive suit and stood outside the house with both hands stylishly in his pockets.When he spoke to Claire, he removed a hand from his pocket and pointed it at her."How is it your business what I choose to come in?" Chloe walked past him without a glance."We may be struggling to maintain our position as a third-tier family, but we can afford a decent sports car!" Lewis yelled after her.He clenched his fist tightly seeing she didn't turn until she disappeared behind the tempered glass door."That bitch! What right does she have to act all high and mighty with me when I'm the William family heir and she was just a janitor at the company just a few days ago? Seems she has forgotten who's the one Grandpa has high hopes for. Damn
