From Nothing to Powerful Heir

"Shut up!" his red eyes locked on Nolan. Anger was evident on his face, and his hand was held tightly to the document.

"You've just made a mistake. And how can you still open your mouth to speak?!" The man ended his sentence with a loud thump on the table.

Nolan received repeated snaps. But he tried to remain calm. Even this time, he didn't know what he had done to deserve the anger.

Nolan raised one eyebrow. "Mistake?" He repeated the sentence.

"You have stolen here." Gaston pointed angrily at Nolan.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. This was not the first time he had been humiliated. Many times, they would find fault with Lonan or even deliberately make it up for humiliation. But he did not expect to be accused of theft like that.

"Stealing?" Nolan repeated in confusion.

Nolan did not know how he could have gotten such an accusation. Even though his life was very difficult, Nolan had never committed an act of theft.

Lonan looked at his boss calmly. "How can you accuse me? I didn't commit theft." Nolan said firmly. "What did I steal?" Nolan ventured to look at his boss.

Gaston gave him a sharp look. He crumpled the document and threw it in Nolan's face.

Gaston's face was still red. Then, he again pointed at Nolan's face. "How can you not admit it?"

"You should be ashamed of yourself. You are a useless man. You've never done your job well."

Gaston continued to shout. He was treating Nolan with contempt. The man just regarded Nolan as trash.

This time, Gaston's gaze fell on the file that had fallen at Nolan's feet. He pointed at it and shouted, "That is the proof that you have made a mistake."

The man growled angrily again. "You are a very shameful man. You can never be relied upon."

"This company shouldn't let a loser like you stay here." Gaston's eyes seemed to be filled with fireballs. He was preparing to burn Nolan with his anger.

"I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't even commit any theft. This is a false accusation." Nolan said in defense. Although he was very upset, he tried to remain calm.

Nolan knew that Gaston liked to gicauseim trouble. , but his time was too much. It almost made him sick.

Gaston laughed, showing his neat rows of teeth. But in a split second, his expression changed again. "You really are an arrogant man. After you committed theft, you can still raise your face and voice."

Gaston stepped one foot closer. Currently, they were only a few centimeters apart. Until it was clearly visible, the bulging eyeballs were perfect.

"Do you think you're so smart that you want to fool me?" He emphasized.  

Before Nolan had time to defend himself, Gaston shouted back, "I have proof. You just broke into Mr. Felix's office, and there you stole documents." 

"Everyone knows that room has a lot of important documents in it. You have secretly become a rat here." Another accusation was made against Nolan. He hardly even gave Nolan a chance to deny what he was accused of.

"I only took the documents. And you ordered it." Nolan said calmly. Asserting to his superiors that the work he did was appropriate.

Nolan knew that no matter what he did, Gaston would never be satisfied with his work. Even Nolan was starting to get fed up with Gaston's sudden orders and pressures.

Nolan only stayed because he wanted the money. He needed a lot of money to treat his sick father.

"What, would a thief confess to this?" Gaston emphasized. He touched Nolan's chest with his index finger. Then, he rubbed it quickly.

"You are really very disgusting. And because of this, you are no longer needed here!" Gaston affirmed.

Nolan's eyes rounded as he heard Gaston's words. Nolan knew clearly that the man wanted to fire him. This made Nolan tremble. He didn't want that decision.

Nolan shook his head. He tried to give an explanation. "I really didn't commit any theft. I... just did as you said, sir."

"You can't just fire me like this." Nolan pleaded, slightly pleading with his superiors. They had no idea how badly Nolan wanted the money.

Meanwhile, some of the people there looked down on him. "Look at that poor guy? I didn't think he'd be so desperate to pull off a heist."

The man beside him nodded his head. They even swallowed the accusation whole. Assuming that all the accusations were true. "I also heard that his father is sick. It makes sense that he would commit a theft."

Nolan wrung his hands. This was so unfair to him. All this time, he had worked so hard. He even came back later than the others. But he only got unfairly dismissed.

Nolan could not accept it easily. He tried to suppress the irritation in his heart, looking at Gaston calmly.

"Sir, you even know that I helped complete this office project. I have even helped this office get a big project. And I did it all on my own," Nolan emphasized to his boss. He wanted Gaston to remember everything.

"Sir, you also know that this is not my job." Nolan affirmed to be fair to him.

Gaston clenched his fists. After Nolan brought it up, it made the man's anger increase even more. Gaston couldn't take it anymore, so he gave Nolan a hard slap.

Nolan almost couldn't avoid it. The slap was too fast, which made his cheeks hot.

Nolan looked at him coldly. He didn't expect to be treated so harshly by Gaston. Whatever he had worked for all this time seemed to be in vain.

"I've helped you get some big projects. And after you got them, how could you want to throw me away? This makes no sense. You even accused me of being a thief." Nolan raised the intonation of his voice slightly. Emphasizing for the man to remember.

Gaston's muscles tightened. He didn't want anyone to hear that. "Are my words not clear enough? You've been fired. You have no business here. Stop talking and get out of here!"

Nolan was still holding out. He didn't want to just leave. He still needed this job. He even hoped that Gaston would take back his words of dismissal.

"Get out!" The shout came back from Gaston.

Nolan shook his head. He didn't want to leave. "No, you don't. You can't just fire me. At least give me some money."

Tomorrow was the day he was supposed to get a paycheck. He was supposed to get $1100. And that money meant a lot to Nolan. He had to get medicine for his father, who was in the hospital. How could he leave without that money?

"There's no money for you," Gaston shouted loudly. Staring at the few people around him, he then spoke firmly, "Drag him away from my presence!"

Two people moved quickly, holding Nolan's hands and dragging him forcefully.

Nolan tried to hold on, but the two people continued to drag him forcefully, and he was thrown unceremoniously outside the building.

Nolan's body was thrown, creating a line of bruises on his hand. It stung a little, but Nolan endured it. "Damn them!"

Just as Nolan was about to get up, a vibration on his cell phone made him look at it immediately. It was a call from the hospital. Quickly, Nolan answered the phone.  

Before Nolan could speak, he heard a panicked voice from the other end. "You need to come right now. Your father is in critical condition."

Nolan rounded his eyes. "Critical? I'll be there right now." He quickly switched off the phone call.

Slowly he started to get up and felt his aching back and arms. He ignored his dirty and messy clothes. Afterward, he headed toward the hospital. Nolan really looked miserable.

All the way, he kept thinking about his father's condition. For almost six months, his father had to get an offer in the hospital.

When he was at the hospital, he immediately went to his father's room. But at that time, he saw the doctor doing something for his father. And he saw his father, who had a severe seizure. Of course, this made Nolan sad.

"Dad, hang in there."

Nolan waited anxiously until, after a while, the doctor came out and met him.

"How is my father?" Nolan asked frantically.

The doctor had an unusual look on his face. Removing the stethoscope and speaking, "Mr. Marcus' condition is deteriorating."

The doctor exhaled. "In addition, your father must receive intensive treatment. At the very least, you should prepare $6000."

After hearing the doctor's explanation, Nolan's hands shook. "Six thousand dollars?" he swallowed hard.

The doctor nodded. "Yes, and you should prepare it quickly. Mr. Marcus must receive follow-up care."

Nolan's face was filled with frustration. But he tried to hide it. "Alright."

After the doctor left, Nolan was filled with confusion. He desperately wanted his father to receive further treatment immediately. But right now, he only had 2100$. That was even less than half of what was needed.

"Where should I get the money?"

Nolan thought for a while. Meanwhile, his eyes fell on his father's room. There was his even unconscious father.

"I have to get my paycheck."

"They have to pay it. They can't treat me like this." Nolan's breath caught as he remembered Gaston's betrayal. He wasn't going to let it slide. Until afterward, Nolan actually decided to

Nolan decided to return to the company. He would take the rights that he should have gotten there.

He was currently standing in front of the building. Just as he was about to barge in, a guard suddenly blocked him. "You can't come in!"

Nolan looked at him sharply. "Let me in. I have to get what I deserve." Nolan shouted at the two guards.

"You've been fired, and you won't get anything here. Go away!" The guards pushed Nolan's body away.

The commotion outside was also heard by Gaston. And when the man noticed that Nolan was back, he immediately walked over.

"I have to get my paycheck. I really need that money for my father's treatment. And give me my compensation." Nolan gave an affirmation to Gaston.

Gaston looked angry. "You have no business here and you won't get anything. You can't even demand anything.".

"If you try to get your feet wet here then you will have to deal with the law and you could end up in jail." Gaston threatened.

At the same time, there was a woman who had just gotten out of the car. She heard a commotion that happened.

The woman tried to find out what had happened. When saw Nolan, she frowned. Nolan's face looked familiar to her. "T t man? Isn't he the one who did that?"
