The Scotts had just returned from the hospital that morning. They were all in the sitting room, pacing back and forth in great worry. This was because William’s stroke had been confirmed by the doctor, and it was also stated that his recovery time was unpredictable. Bernard was lost in thought, his face as bitter as a lemon, when John asked him, "Grandpa, today is the first day out of the 14 days Jason gave us to return his company. Are we really going to comply with him?" Bernard turned to look at his grandson in disgust. "Give what to him? What is the Scott family if we give back the company that keeps us relevant to him?" "Grandpa, do you have a plan already? Don't forget the threat he made before he left yesterday." John didn't want to believe his grandfather was just talking. "I don't have any plan," Bernard answered plainly. "He caused my son to have a stroke. If he really wants his company back, he should slap himself heavily and suffer a stroke, too," Bernard final

Huh! There was a short silence. None of them expected Bianca to say that. They wondered if it really meant she wasn't interested in the Kim family and didn't mind giving the slot away. However, Victoria felt incredibly embarrassed at this point. She assumed Bianca was mocking her with that statement. Victoria had always been jealous that Gabriel was interested in her cousin. And here she was, playing hard to get. If the opportunity had come to her directly, she would have accepted it with both hands. Now, she wondered if Bianca was only trying to belittle her by offering her the slot. Joel found Bianca's idea perfect, as it would spare him trouble with his father. He said to his brother, "Matthew, you have always wanted to be the Kim family's in-law. This is a good opportunity for you." Chloe added, "Yes, Victoria has always had so much interest in a powerful family like the Kims. I am sure she wouldn't let this opportunity slide." Both Chloe and Joel might hav

"Look! Isn't that Mr. Kim Sr.'s car?" one of them asked in great surprise at the sight of the fast-approaching car. Huh?! "That's impossible," Victoria argued. Instantly, Joel pointed at something obvious. "Take a look at the plate number of the car. It's really Mr. Kim Sr." They were all utterly stunned upon realizing it was really Andre. How is that possible? Did the useless Jason just order the powerful Andre Kim down here? All eyes were fixated on Jason, who looked unworried. They were all staring at him in wonder. Trent and Matthew nearly collapsed from heart attacks at this moment. Just then, they watched the fast-approaching Bugatti speed past them. "Haha! It turns out that Mr. Kim appeared by coincidence." Matthew burst into loud laughter. "He must have come to have a look at one of his ongoing projects in this area." "I see! How could I have thought that Mr. Kim Sr. was really here due to Jason's order?" Trent grabbed his chest, as it was already bea

"What is that, Dad? Did anything happen?" Jason asked nonchalantly. Chloe hissed. She hated the act Jason was putting on. "Are you trying to pretend that what just happened is normal? Mr. Kim Sr. scrambling around before you?!" Jason’s brow raised. "Oh, you were talking about Andre. Nothing much; he only came to debunk the ongoing rumor. You heard it when he said it." Everyone around did not understand how Jason could possibly want them to view what happened as normal. "Mr. Kim Sr. came to debunk the rumor, and he had to kneel before you to do that? Make it make sense." The confusion was eating Joel up. Jason shrugged. "Yes, that's it. Maybe he was brought up with good manners and he just had to show it. Or what do you think?" The powerful Andre Kim? Good manners? That sounded completely wrong to their ears. The Andre Kim they knew and "good manners" were not words that should be in the same sentence. They were about to disagree with Jason when Victoria suddenly spoke

At the Scott residence, Bernard was seen in his room pacing back and forth in great fear. Checking the wall clock and realizing that the 40-minute duration Andre gave him had already elapsed, and he hadn't been able to carry out the order, made his heart tremble with even greater panic. The more Bernard tried to calm himself down, the more the reality of the disaster that would soon hit his family made his heart beat faster. Even though the reality was tough for Bernard to accept, he knew nothing could change it as long as he failed to get hold of Jason and send him to Andre as ordered. With gritted teeth, Bernard lamented as he scrolled through his phone. "I still don't understand why Trent is not picking up my calls! This is the 17th time I have called him!" Bernard's head was close to exploding with frustration. He had shown no sign of worry or fear before his children and grandchildren earlier when Andre gave the order. However, since he returned to his room, he ha
