It was a beautiful afternoon, which happened to be the day of a special gala event. Derrick and his wife Bella were meant to attend, but other family members in the likes of Cecilia, Caiden, Grandpa Fredrick and other relatives also attended.The event had brought together many of the most important business people, politicians, investors, and famous celebrities in the city.Large crystal chandeliers had lit up the huge auditorium, making the whole place shine brightly. Soft classical music was playing quietly through hidden speakers around the hall.The guests greeted one another and exchanged business cards as they talked. Meanwhile, waiters were moving smoothly and carefully between the tables, serving people without disturbing the atmosphere.At the center of the audience, Derrick sat down, with Bella by his side, trying to understand everything happening around him. On the other side of the hall, Caiden and Cecilia were also seated. Grandpa Fredrick and other relatives were pres

Derrick stood directly in front of Caiden, his entire body stiff with anger. Every muscle in him seemed tense.He clenched his jaw so hard that the veins along his neck became visible. The tension between them was impossible to ignore, and before long, several guests nearby began to gather around, curious about the confrontation and sensing that something serious was about to happen.“What exactly did you just say to me?” Derrick demanded, his voice was filled with rage.Despite the hostility coming from Derrick, Caiden remained calm and composed. He did not step back or allow Derrick’s anger to affect him.“I said that what happened showed who you really are,” Caiden replied steadily.“And maybe instead of getting angry, you should apologize to your wife. What you did was completely unacceptable.”Caiden’s words only made Derrick even angrier. Rather than calming him down.“Apologize?” he snapped. “You really think I’m going to apologize to anyone?”His voice rang through the entranc

Grandpa Frederick remained seated alone in his living room for a long time after the Zoom meeting had ended.The laptop screen had already turned black, and the voices of his family members had completely disappeared from the room.Everything had become quiet again, but the embarrassment and humiliation he had felt still stayed with him.He placed his hand on the armrests of his chair as he sat there in silence. From the outside, he was looking calm, but deep inside, his chest was still boiling with anger.Throughout his entire life, nobody had ever treated him with such disrespect.He had always been respected by those around him, especially his family. But Caiden had humiliated him in a way he had never experienced before, and he wasn’t going to let that slide.Caiden had suddenly appeared during their private family meeting and openly mocked them. He had exposed their fears without hesitation and disappeared before anyone could react.It had been outrageous and completely unaccepta

The emergency landing felt like a terrible nightmare that would not end.Derrick walked back and forth beside the private jet while the medical team hurried around Grandpa Frederick. The old man’s condition became worse during the flight. Caiden had already warned them not to move him, but they refused to listen.What began as simple nausea quickly turned into severe vomiting, leaving everyone frightened. Before long, he started vomiting blood.Bella stood nearby with tears running down her face.“This is all wrong,” she said softly. “He was perfectly fine before.”The private doctor they hired did everything he could to help, but even he looked worried.“We need to take him to a hospital right away,” he said.As soon as the aircraft landed, ambulances were already waiting nearby.Grandpa Frederick was placed on a stretcher and quickly taken to the emergency room.Derrick stayed close behind, his heart was pounding rapidly in his chest.The moment they arrived at the hospital, he pull

Derrick stood still in the middle of Caiden’s private office, but everything around him felt tense and uneasy.Outside the office, the hospital kept going as if nothing had happened. Cecilia’s phone was still recording him, and it felt like many eyes were watching him from far away.The office felt very tight and hard for him to breathe in.His jaw tightened in shame.Because he had seen this kind of thing before. And worse, he had been through it himself.Just a few days ago, the memory came back suddenly, clear and embarrassing. He saw himself again outside full of anger, not thinking clearly. His hand had moved before he could stop it, and he slapped Caiden when Caiden asked for a public apology.He also remembered Bella’s shocked face, the way she had moved forward like she couldn’t believe what she had just seen. How she tried to settle every chaos.That moment had been recorded and went viral, and now it made the current situation even worse.Including when he slapped his wife B
