At that moment, upon seeing the determined and unwavering look on Raymond's face that made it absolutely clear he was not going to accept vague hints and carefully guarded half-truths as a satisfactory answer, Madam Veronica seemed to reach an internal decision about what needed to be said regardless of her earlier hesitation.She took a slow and deliberate breath, the kind that people take when they are preparing to deliver information they know is going to land with significant emotional weight on the person receiving it.“Well, part of me wanted to let Megan be the one to tell you this in her own time and her own way,”she began with quiet resignation. “But looking at you right now and understanding that you need to know this before you see her today, I realize that you deserve to hear the truth.”She met his eyes directly and spoke with calm but meaningful gravity.“It's all about you, Raymond,” she said simply. “Everything about Megan's decision to change her career path traces d

At that moment, upon hearing Madam Veronica's casual revelation that Megan had chosen medicine as her academic path, Raymond felt the ground shift slightly beneath his feet as the information collided directly with everything he had assumed and believed about who Megan had grown up to become.He stood there for a brief moment in genuine stunned silence, his mind struggling to reconcile this new reality with the mental image he had been carefully maintaining of Megan throughout all the years of their separation.He had been so absolutely certain, so thoroughly convinced in his assumptions about her academic direction that this revelation hit him with the surprising force of something completely unexpected and difficult to immediately process.The Megan he remembered with such vivid clarity had been utterly and passionately consumed by anything and everything that had wheels, an engine, and mechanical components that could be taken apart, examined, and reassembled with curious and capab

Hearing everything that Madam Veronica had just described about the intensely competitive atmosphere among the wealthy and privileged families who would be attending Megan's graduation ceremony today, Raymond couldn't help but break into a broad smile that quickly developed into genuine laughter at the picture she was painting.“Madam Veronica, please, you really don't need to worry yourself about any of that social competition or concern yourself with how things are going to look when we arrive at that ceremony today,” he said with easy confidence and amusement that seemed to come from a place of complete comfort with who he was and what he represented.But Madam Veronica immediately held up her hand with an expression that made clear she was not finished making her point.“Oh no, you don't understand, I absolutely do need to address this concern and make sure you understand the full picture before we walk through those doors today,” she insisted with maternal firmness. “What I'm te

At that moment, hearing Madam Veronica's declaration about cutting him off completely and permanently from their family circle, Raymond couldn't help but break into a warm and genuine smile that spread across his face with natural ease.“Come on now, it definitely hasn't gotten to that level at all, not even close,” he said with affectionate amusement, shaking his head at the dramatic nature of her threat. “Things between us could never deteriorate to the point where something as drastic as complete disownment would be necessary or justified.”His smile widened as he continued with playful rhetoric that masked genuine emotion.“But I have to ask you something seriously though - where exactly did Madam Veronica think I would have gone to if she had actually followed through with disowning me and cutting me off from this family?” he asked with a mixture of humor and genuine vulnerability. “Where would I have possibly turned or found the kind of warmth and acceptance that you and Megan

At that moment, with obvious pride and maternal affection coloring her voice, Madam Veronica then responded to Raymond's curiosity about Megan's current state with enthusiastic reassurance.“Well, well, let me tell you that she has grown and matured and developed into a very fine young lady over these years, and that much I can promise you with absolute certainty,” she said with a warm smile that reflected her deep satisfaction with how Megan had turned out. “The awkward teenager you might remember has transformed into an accomplished and confident woman who carries herself with grace and intelligence.”Her expression became even more animated as she continued.“But one thing that I am also very, very sure about beyond any shadow of doubt is that Megan is going to be extremely happy and completely overwhelmed with emotion when she sees you standing there at her graduation ceremony,” Madam Veronica said with conviction. “The shock and joy of discovering that you actually came all thi

His voice exploded back into furious shouting.“Call that good-for-nothing bastard who killed my son and bring him here to face the consequences of his actions right now, immediately, without any further delays or excuses!” he roared with uncontrolled rage. “Because if you don't cooperate fully and completely within the next few minutes, then I promise you that all hell is absolutely going to break loose in ways that will make you regret every single word of defiance that has come out of your mouth today!”Then, without any further verbal warnings or attempts at persuasion, he turned toward the warehouse entrance and made a sharp hand gesture, signaling with unmistakable authority to one of his men who had been waiting just outside the room.“Bring the equipment immediately,” he commanded with cold determination, his voice carrying the finality of someone who had reached the end of his patience and was fully prepared to escalate to the most extreme measures available. “Get all of th
