2026-04-30 12:13:27Logan turned back to them and said to Leslie in a low voice, "I think it's quite… Good, but your proposal will need a lot of polishing in it if you really want a company like Astral Corp to invest their money into your business."
"I don't need your opinion on my proposal." She said with a displeased look. "What do you even know about business?" She quickly held her tongue before she said any more insulting words. She really needed his help so for now, she needed to behave.
Logan sucked in a breath, "That can be arranged." He decided that it was no use hiding the truth from them since it would be revealed in the future anyways. "The CEO is my family's trusted steward, so getting you to meet him is nothing."
The smile on Leslie's face morphed into a look of anger. "What the heck are you saying?"
Logan was shocked about her sudden change in reaction. Did he say something wrong?
Stacy suddenly began to laugh. "I told you not to come to this fool for help, mom. Now, look at him spouting nonsense about the CEO of Astral Corp being his family's steward." She held her stomach as she laughed hard. "This is really hilarious."
Logan scoffed. They thought he was lying about the CEO of Astral Corp being his family's steward. Before he could explain further, Leslie threw the food and snacks she brought on the ground, stomping on it till it looked unconsumable.
"You foolish bastard." She shoved her finger against his chest. "Do I look like a joke to you? I came here for you to help me and you're here bragging about things you could not possibly have. Do you take me for a fool? It is really not your fault. I blame myself for expecting something from you in the first place." Then she turned around and stormed out before he could explain and left with her daughter.
They reached outside the hospital. Leslie gritted her teeth in anger, "I'll make sure he pays for this."
Leslie was so livid. "How dare that idiot try to deceive me with such lies? It's even my fault for going to him for help. What did I expect?"
"Mum, you need to calm down." Stacy stared at her with worry. "You shouldn't stress yourself over the likes of that man. Your health is important. Let's just leave here. You know that I don't like being here."
The two left the hospital without even bothering to pay Ava or Mia a visit.
Logan was on his way back to Mia's room when he decided to call Alfred. Since he was inside the elevator, he didn't see the need to speak with caution. "Young Master Logan, how may I be of service to you?" Alfred said. He seemed to be in a good mood since Logan has been needing his help lately.
"I need you to do something urgent for me and fast. Do you think you can pull it off?"
"Of course sir. I don't think there's anything you want that can't be obtained given your position and that of your family's influence in this country. So, please ask away."
Logan nodded. "Very well. I need a heart transplant for my daughter. I don't know if you know this, but I am married and I have a daughter but she's sick. She's been sick for so many years and the only solution to her problem is a heart transplant. The doctor seems to be taking long… Ava… My wife… is getting really worried."
"Oh! You mean Mia right?" As expected, Alfred had done a background check on him. It had been so long since his Young Master disappeared. He needed to know what he had been doing with his life. "You don't need to worry sir. I already have the young miss' medical report and I've already started working on it. In due time, we'll find a match for her."
If it was any normal person, they would be creeped out that Alfred already had his daughter's medical report but this is Alfred he was talking about. Logan had gotten used to it. As the son of the Mitchell's patriarch, he had seen first hand how fast they would go to get information on anybody, anything or anywhere so, Logan wasn't fazed by it since it was expected for Alfred to know about him and his family. Instead, relief and gratitude washed through him.

Chapter 21: The Cinderella Conflict
Meanwhile, Logan began to lead Mia through the aisles of beautiful clothes and he was deeply happy when he saw the cheerful smile on her face as she began picking some clothes. “Dada, I like this one!” She said, jumping happily. “Dada, I want that dress! Can I have it?” With a warm look on his face, Logan lifted his daughter so he could look her in the eyes. “Of course, my princess, you can have anything you want.” Mia gave Logan a toothy smile before turning her gaze until she spotted a beautiful blue dress. “Dada, I want that Cinderella dress,” “Right away.” Logan carried his little girl to the aisle in the store and gently put her down. Mia had just picked up the dress when another little girl suddenly snatched it from her hand. "This is mine." The girl glared at Mia before pushing her to the ground. The middle-aged couple behind her simply stood there, watching their daughter bully another girl. Logan's eyes widened as he quickly rushed forward to help her up, che
Chapter 20: The Rejected Truth and Confrontation
Logan looked at the resentment in his wife's eyes then began to explain. “Ava, the truth is… I'm not who you think I am. I belong to a very powerful family, and I'm the heir to the business empire. The headquarters is being controlled by my family's butler named Alfred Alfonso. So you see, I'm a….” “Shut up, you liar!” Ava angrily grabbed her pillow and threw it at Logan's face. “That's it! I can't stand seeing your face right now.” She pointed at the bedroom door. “I want you to get out! You're sleeping in the living room tonight until you stop trying to feed me all this nonsense, you're not sleeping anywhere near me!” Logan was speechless. He would have persisted but he could tell that Ava was too tired for this conversation, so he got up and left. Mia finally woke up the next day and cried when she saw her parents. Logan and Ava couldn't hold in their emotions when they hugged their daughter. It took two weeks of proper monitoring before the doctors officially discharged M
Chapter 19: New Heart, Old Misunderstandings
Logan was beyond amused that he almost burst out laughing, Adriana was taking the glory for what he did. However, instead of exposing her lies, he decided to watch and see how well she faked it "You're too kind Adriana, unlike some people who tried to lie and deceive us about having a familial relationship with the CEO." Stacy said, giving Logan a hateful glare. "Just ignore that clown." Leslie said, sneering at Logan. "A lowlife like you who tried to claim Astral Corp's CEO is your butler. How pathetic." Ava walked over to Adriana with a warm smile. "You helped my family and I would like to repay that. How about I buy you dinner? Please, don't refuse me." "Okay, I won't refuse you but if you don't mind, I'll be bringing my older brother. He has always wanted to meet you. If that's okay with you…" Adriana requested and glanced at Logan. Ava agreed immediately. Logan watched how his wife made plans to have dinner with this ridiculous woman and her stupid brother the coming day.
Chapter 18: The Fraudulent Favor
Meanwhile, at the Cooper family house. Leslie Cooper was shaking when she was on the phone with someone. "This is such great news. Thank you so much for reconsidering my proposal. I'll make sure to rewrite it before sending it to your company. Thank you." Stacy walked into the living room to see her getting out of a phone call and screaming in joy. "Oh my God, Mom. What was that for?" She asked, covering her ears with her hands. "You won't believe who I was talking to just now." Leslie rushed over to her daughter and held her hand. " Astral Corp’s headquarters just called me and they expressed their interest in accepting my proposal." "Oh my, that's good news. How did it happen?" Leslie thought for a minute and then looked at her daughter with a smile. "It was none other than Adriana Lima. I'm sure she did all this. Guess her father does have connections after all." Then Stacy saw her picking up her bag and car keys. "But where are you going, mom?" "To the hospital, dea
Chapter 17: The Weight of a Father’s Regret
"Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.” Logan whispered, almost tearing up. Then he remembered the conversation he had with Leslie and Stacy at the cafeteria. He didn't want to do it, but for Ava, he instructed Alfred. "I need you to give feedback to Smile Corporation on the proposal that the deputy sales director has been trying to get you onboard with. You can instruct them on how to update their proposal and the amount you want to pour into the business, I'll leave it to your capable hands." "Very well sir but if I may ask, the deputy sales director is your mother-in-law, isn't it?" Logan sighed as he shook his head. "If you already know this, then why ask again, Alfred? I already know you ran a background check on me." Alfred chuckled softly. "You seem to know me very well, sire. If that is all, I'll get to work now." The elevator dinged and he stepped out with the phone still in his ears. "Thank you very much, butler Alfred." He said discreetly, not wanting th
