Aaron stepped back on instinct, shocked. Why did he have to meet again the man who had destroyed his life?! If Zane hadn’t left him in the park all those years ago, he would never have met Leonard.Aaron’s hand balled into a fist. “I… I don’t understand what you mean. Stop acting like you know me.” Aaron tried to act normal even though his chest hurt.Leonard said that Maria had handed Aaron back to the Hale family in exchange for money. Even though he had struggled to escape the mansion because he was always beaten and abused. In the end, Maria “saved” him and took him to the orphanage.But he never expected Maria to cruelly sell him again to his father. From childhood to adulthood, his life had only been made into a slave for the Hale family, not their son.Worse, when his father died, Leonard inherited all the Hale wealth, not Aaron.“Don’t play dumb. I already know everything,” Zane said firmly.“So, what do you want? Money?” Aaron sneered. “Has the money Zion, my father, gave Mar

“Sir, Miss Allison has arrived,” one of Isaac’s subordinates reported.The doctor straightened his white coat and smirked. “Good. Get everything ready.”Isaac walked toward the lobby, deliberately brushing his shoulder against Zane’s as he passed. Zane didn’t respond, but his eyes darkened. He would make Isaac pay later.Zane watched as Isaac and the other executives greeted a stunning woman who had just stepped out of a white Rolls-Royce.Allison entered the building, followed by several bodyguards and staff members, with Isaac right behind her.“Has Mr. Christopher arrived yet?” Allison asked coldly.“I don’t know who Christopher is, so I can’t confirm it, Miss.”“We’re in big trouble. He plans to buy this hospital because one of his relatives was mistreated by a doctor here. Whoever did that, I’ll have their head.”“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure that person is punished,” Isaac replied smoothly.Allison and her group stopped when a man in plain clothes blocked their path in a quiet ha

“Enjoy your misery.”Suddenly, Leonard’s phone rang. His eyes lit up when he saw Laura’s name flashing on the screen.“Laura’s calling me, so keep your voice down,” Leonard said arrogantly before answering. His tone immediately turned sweet. “What is it, Miss?”“Come to Chrizen Corp’s office to sign our partnership contract,” Laura ordered coldly.Leonard smirked with satisfaction. “Alright. I’ll be there soon.”“Make sure you come alone without your assistant, because this partnership is highly confidential. Christopher doesn’t want anyone to know.”“Don’t worry.”When the call ended, Leonard grinned. “Sorry, I have to go. Laura’s waiting for me.” He left Jennifer, laughing mockingly as he walked out.Jennifer clenched her fists tightly. She didn’t expect her business partner to be such a bastard. She wanted revenge by destroying Hale Corp, but Fade Corp had already lost its glory. And now it would be even harder to take Hale Corp down, since they were backed by Chrizen Corp.“Damn i

“Because …” Laura fell silent, glancing at Zane hesitantly.“I bet with Laura yesterday. If I could beat her in the ring, she had to submit to me.” Zane lied. “I managed to beat her.”“That’s true,” added Laura, covering her nervousness.Owen nodded in understanding, then smiled proudly at Laura. “I’m glad you managed to become Vice CEO of Chrizen Corp. That’s an extraordinary achievement. Who would’ve thought a tough woman like you could get the top position in Christopher’s office.”Zane felt a little offended to hear that. Laura was not a thug.Owen put his arm around Laura. “Can you persuade Mr. Christopher to work with me?”Laura glanced at Zane. The man’s expression briefly darkened. “No.”Owen frowned in surprise. “Why?” He was slightly offended. “Aren’t we friends for a long time? Have you forgotten who gave you a place to stay when your father kicked you out?”“I do owe you, but not to Mr. Christopher. If he knew you’d hurt someone before, he’d be furious. He hates arrogant m

Lily immediately called Allison to scare them, but she was confused because the two security guards stayed calm.Seeing that, Lily was furious. She swore she would make the two guards kneel at her feet and cry when Allison arrived for daring to embarrass her in front of Zane and Laura.“Hello, Allison. I’m Lily Fade. I want to report your two subordinates who dared to act rudely toward me. They refused to kick out someone who intends to harm Aaron Hale.”“Bastard!” Allison cursed angrily. Aaron was a special patient. Christopher wouldn’t think twice about killing her if Aaron got hurt.“Alright! I’ll be there right away!” Allison immediately hung up, making Lily grin in satisfaction.“You heard that? Allison is personally coming the moment she heard my name.” Lily smiled smugly, mocking Zane and Laura.Zane shook his head, slightly irritated by Lily’s childish attitude. Still, he decided to play along with her game to teach her a valuable lesson.“Soon, you two will be fired for sidin
