"Yeah, she is the one I'm talking about," Bryan said, maintaining his voice to be steady, despite watching Stacy's shocked faces expression, "I know you're quite surprised to hear this from me, but I'm sure she must be the one behind all this."Stacy couldn't help but to sigh while rubbing her forehead, "But what would she even gain by harming Dad? Don't you know what kind of ideal couple our parents are?" "Ideal couples? In what way?" Bryan sneered at Stacy's words, "a man with multiple affairs, just because Mia came to light, we knew about her, what if there are others too? Do you think he is someone who is satisfied with one woman? A man like him will never be satisfied with one woman, and even after knowing all, why didn't our Mom react? Don't say it's love, please." Stacy knew Bryan was right, because all of them know what kind of man their father is, "either it's love or her greed towards the title of winterwood family, whatever it can be, still, why would she hurt her own fam
"What's happening here?" Josephine's voice echoed in the waiting area, instantly drawing the attention of the three siblings and Ronald who are peacefully involved in a conversation.They all turned to see her standing there, her face filled with extreme frustration."Can't you even answer your calls? What exactly are you doing? Do you three even know how many times I've called you people?" She demanded, making her voice to ring around everyone's ears.Bryan rubbed his ears out of frustration because of her raspy voice bringing nuisance."Mom, we are also waiting for the doctor to give us his final update regarding Dad's health, that’s why we are still waiting before we can inform you," Nancy spoke trying to calm her mother, as the nurses passing by glancing at them weirdly making it awkward for all of them.Stacy frowned at her mother's behaviour in a public place, "We told you to stay with Grandma at home, what are you doing here, Mom? Why did you even come here?""You shut up," Jos
"What exactly are you trying to imply here?" Josephine stammered, but Bryan continued with the same attitude, "implying or revealing?" Josephine stood frozen in the same place, Bryan's sharp eyes are fixed on her as he is waiting for her to respond.The air in the waiting room felt very uneasy to even take a breath for Josephine. His question had clearly startled her, and for a moment, she completely forgot what to say further or what to even think, because Bryan acted as if he knew everything, "why aren't you replying, mom? Are you afraid of me figuring out more?" "What exactly are you trying to say, Bryan?" she finally pulled up all the strength to speak, though her voice didn't sound prideful as before. "I’m worried about your father! Why would I be afraid of anything else? I don't have time for your nonsense." Bryan rolled his eyes, as a small smile playing at the corner of his lips, he isn't bothered by any of her words, since he is busy with reading her facial expression, "Yo
"Three days passed like three hours, isn't it?" Stacy mentioned with Ronald about the days how quickly passed. Ronald nodded agreeing with her, "before we aren't much experienced in staying at hospital but after spending few times in the hospital for Mira, it became routine for both of us, so days felt literally like hours," Stacy chuckled at his words, but her eyes shifting to Bryan, who was sleeping peacefully on Nancy's lap on the couch."I never imagined there'll be a day I'll be having a bond with him like this. When I decided to create a bond with him, I never thought we would come this far," Stacy smiled softly remembering how stubborn and defensive Bryan used to be in the beginning. "Look at him now, sleeping on her lap, as if nothing ever happened, even though we hurt him so badly to the extent of him leaving the house by cutting off all the ties with us." Ronald sighed pointing out the things he noticed in Bryan. "He’s actually too naive. He doesn’t hold grudges for long,
"A new CEO? Are you kidding? Why do we even need a new CEO when I'm perfectly fine?" Neil shouted, with extreme anger in his voice after hearing to Calix's words.His words were stopped in the middle by a sudden cough, and Stacy rushed to hand him a glass of water, "dad, please calm down, it's not good for you to be serious like this in a situation." "Mr. Calix, I think it's better if you take leave now," Nancy said in a stern tone wanting him to leave so that her father can take rest with peace rather than getting hyper or excited.After taking a sip of water, Neil signalled to let Calix to stay, "let him, no need for him to leave, I need to speak with him," his voice was calmer than before, "I don’t think it’s necessary to appoint a new CEO, I'm perfectly fine, I'll resume my duties soon." "Sir, actually it’s not my decision," Calix clearly looked nervous as he gave a reply while wiping his sweat, "This is the decision taken by the board, and they sent me here to inform you." "Ev
"Yeah, everyone heard it well, I'm suggesting about you only," Bryan said while looking at Nancy confirming that he spoke with a right mind but not brought a random name.Bryan's suggestion was like a bombshell, leaving the room in extreme silence and confusion. Nancy and Stacy both stared at him with a clueless face, no matter how hard they tried to think, they couldn't understand what exactly Bryan was trying to do.However, Nancy broke the silence by saying, "Me? But Bryan, I’ve never been involved in the company, I don't have any experience about the company and the dealings of our company like Dad, how can you suggest me?" Stacy also nodded her head agreeing with Nancy. "Yeah, Bryan, Nancy was totally busy with her own things, she never showed any interest in such things." Bryan knew both of them are scared, and as far as Bryan remembered in his previous life, Nancy has a degree in business administration but she hid it from everyone saying she is interested in acting, and conc
"Of course I'm sure," Bryan said with extreme confidence in his words, "if you can't believe in me, wait and watch, everything will come in to the screen in a few minutes." His words truly made them confused, as they can't figure out why Josephine who didn't contact them till now would call them out of a sudden, but after seeing Bryan’s confidence, they decided to wait just as he said.Meanwhile, Calix, who had just left the hospital, quickly made a call to Josephine in order to inform everything that happened in the hospital room. Coming to Josephine, she has been already waiting in her room for this call, as she perfectly managed her family and other board members to keep pressure on Neil to get everything, as this is the perfect chance she is waiting for so long."Finally you called, I've been waiting for your call, did Neil finally agreed with the board members decision? Did he agree to appoint a new CEO?" Josephine asked as soon as she answered the call, with full of anticipati
"It's not like you don't know what she'll be saying," Bryan smiled teasing Stacy, while she sighed, "Bryan, you're seriously holding grudges against me, don't you?" Bryan laughed leaning back against the couch, with his arms crossed, "fine, don't answer her call, by not answering her call, do you think you can escape?" "No," Stacy shook her head with a frown, Bryan chuckled, "she’ll keep calling until you answer, there's no way she'll give up, who knows, she might even show up here if you don't pick up two more times, do you want it to happen?" Stacy shivered at the thought of facing Josephine in a situation like this, as Stacy is well aware about her mother's anger, since everything went out of her plans, there's no way Josephine would show any kind of mercy at her."Don’t even joke about that, Bryan, I'm seriously scared already," just as she was speaking about her fear, mobile buzzed once again with Josephine's call, Bryan signalled to lift it, "she is more stubborn than you."
