CHAPTER TWELVE Before Riley could say a word, Patricia stepped forward and extended his hand toward the Doctor, but he was too scared to shake hands with her, turning to Riley as though he was trying to be sure of what to do in order not to offend him. Riley looked away, turning to his girlfriend. “Let’s go, babe.” He grabbed Patricia’s girlfriend and gently pulled her toward the hallway. “What was that all about, Riley?” Patricia asked, struggling to keep up with her husband’s pace. Riley shook his head. “Nothing. They must think that I am someone else.”“That’s not true, Riley!” Patricia pulled away from his grip, her eyes firing an intense stare of annoyance at him.“The Doctor mentioned your name, Riley! I have never heard anyone calling you sir in a very long time.” She continued to glare at him, waiting for an explanation. Riley sighed. “Let’s go see Patricia, Baby. I promise to tell you why everyone in this hospital kept acting like they are insane.” Patricia strongly wa

CHAPTER FOURTEEN Riley scoffed. “There is nothing mysterious about what you have been told, Olsen. My girlfriend’s medical bills have been paid, and I am sure you know that she wasn’t kept in this type of special ward for free. I suggest you leave at once.” Olsen grunted at him, and then he turned to Judith with a wry smile. “I see that your brother now thinks that he is a man. He must have gotten someone to help him with the medical bills.” He paused for a while, still staring at her with a wry smile. “I will find you, my love. Don’t think that you can be able to run from me. I own this city, and I will find you even if you attempt to leave.” Olsen chuckled coyly at Judith, and then he turned to Riley. “Take care, debtor.” He taunted, and then he walked away stylishly. It had been a struggle for Riley to suppress his anger, and as soon as Olsen was gone, he turned to Rick, who looked away at once.“I don’t care if his father owns this hospital or if he is your major beneficiar

CHAPTER SIXTEEN “What’s the problem, Beatrice?” Riley asked calmly, but his voice was laced with so much tiredness. All he just wanted was to get home and have some rest, but it appeared that the new position he had just occupied was going to come with so many challenges, and not just the power and riches that came along with it. Beatrice had been silent for a very long time, but Riley was gradually losing his patience. “Talk to me, Beatrice. What happened?” “Someone hacked into one of our systems and broke into our firewall. Some of the confidential data we have are about to be leaked, and we don’t know how to handle this. None of the programmers we have been able to rectify the issue; they were only able to block the access, but that can only last for a while.”Riley sighed, but that didn’t seem like the kind of reaction Beatrice had expected to get from him. “Are you there, Mr. Riley?”“I am here, Beatrice.” Riley nodded with a frown, and then he took a deep breath. “I am on

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Riley scoffed, turning to look at the employees briefly.“You trust these people so much. I am sure you must have overpampered them that they feel so comfortable working the way they love.”Beatrice said nothing; instead, she cleared her throat as the guilt that surged from Riley’s remark crawled into her system.She knew that the boss was right, and she couldn’t even deny it.When she was able to turn to Riley and look at him, she cleared her throat again. “Harry could have done this, Sir Riley. I strongly believe that.”“But Harry is in jail,” Riley said, lifting an eyebrow. “I know.” Beatrice nodded, a nervous look all over her face. “It is possible that he must have gotten someone to carry out that plan for him. He knows this place thoroughly, and he is the one person capable of pulling this type of stunt.”Riley sighed, staring at Beatrice silently for a while.Then he took a deep breath, his eyes still fixed on her. “You sound very certain, and even if I str

CHAPTER TWENTY Seeing this, the guard standing next to Riley dived to the ground, placing his hand below the computer before it could hit the ground. He wasn’t fast enough. Parts of the laptop hit the hard floor, causing some major damage to affect it at once.Seeing this, Jake made a run to escape, but he had barely made it to the door when two guards double-crossed him, grabbed him, and pinned him to the ground. No matter how hard he tried to fight them, screaming, “Let me go!” They refused to free him, holding him down while he grunted and struggled futilely. Riley’s fury rose as he looked down at the laptop.The guard picked it up and brought it to him.He fumed, turning to Jake, who was still pinned to the ground, panting frantically. “This confirms what I said earlier,” Riley said, turning to Beatrice, who quickly looked away.He hoped that nothing had happened to the laptop, but he was very disappointed when he looked at the screen and found out that part of it had been b
