“Such a successful doctor would decide to become a kept man?” Victoria couldn't quite fathom why William would do such a thing.
She could only attribute to foolishness born out of love which caused her to feel pity for William. If he had been smart, he would have continued in his career which would ensure that his future remained bright. Unfortunately, there was no way he could get back the time he'd lost, and so Victoria felt he could only wallow in self-pity. “Send me a picture of him.” Victoria instinctively said. If she ever came across the fellow, she would try and see if he wished to have another go at being a doctor. “Doing so now,” Tanya said. A moment later, Victoria got the picture and she immediately froze as the person in the picture was quite familiar. Just then, the emergency room door burst open with two nurses rushing out in a panic. “Young Miss, there's a huge problem.” Victoria immediately put her phone away as she inquired. “What's wrong?” “It's your younger sister, Katie.” One of the nurses said. “She suddenly stopped breathing and her vitals signs are dangerously low. If something isn't done soon, she might die.” “What!?” Victoria turned pale as she struggled to accept that her sister was on the brink of death. Just then, Vincent rushed out, preparing to scold the nurses for rushing out the way they did only to freeze as he made eye contact with a livid Victoria. “Young Miss…” Victoria silenced him with a tight slap across the cheek, shocking everyone present. “I thought you said you were the best!... You said you would make sure nothing happened to her!... So what is this I am hearing!... Tell me!” “Young Miss, it's not as bad as these fools claim it to be. Everything is under control.” Vincent tried to explain only for Victoria to slap him again. “Shut your mouth!... I knew you were a quack from the moment I laid eyes on you. How dare you put my sister in such a critical condition?” Vincent felt humiliated as everyone watched Victoria scold him like a child. Just then, Damian emerged in a bid to soothe Victoria's nerves. “Young Miss.” “Don't you dare say anything to me!... Because of your lies, my sister is going to die, and I promise you that if that happens, I will not spare you and this quack. Do you understand me?” “Young miss, please calm down.” “Calm down?... Did you just say I should calm down?” Victoria glared at Damian causing him to swallow everything else he wished to say. Just then, Raymond rushed over to whisper something in Damian's ear, causing the old deputy to light up as he glanced to the side, quickly laying eyes on William. “Young Miss, everything isn't over yet. There's still someone that can save your sister.” “And you expect me to believe you?” Victoria questioned. Feeling like something bad was about to happen, Vincent tried to speak up. “Dad…” “Shut your mouth!” Damian coldly remarked before addressing Victoria. “The person is a famed doctor at our institution. You can look up his title online. He is popularly known as the LifeGiver.” “Dad, you can't do this.” Vincent protested. “He hasn't worked at our hospital for years. How sure are you that he is skilled enough to reverse the current situation?” “If I hear you speak again, I will not hesitate to relieve you of your tongue, do you understand what I am saying?” Victoria warned, causing Vincent to back away in fright. Then, she turned to Damian. “Where is this doctor you are talking about?” “Well, he is right over…” Damian trailed off only to pause as he realized that William was gone. “Where did he go?” He asked in confusion only for a nurse to exclaim. “He's over there.” Everyone turned towards where she was pointing just in time to discover a man in a surgeon's outfit rushing into the surgery room. Instinctively, Victoria rushed toward the room along with Damian, Vincent, and Raymond. *** William couldn't stand by and watch Katie die while Damian and Victoria continued to bicker like kids. So the moment the nurse had announced that Katie's condition was critical, he immediately made his move, rushing over to the closet to change into appropriate clothing before rushing into the surgery room. He could explain things later but there was no way he would sit by and watch Katie die, not when he could do something about it. By the time Victoria and the others arrived at the surgery room door, William had already started the process, his demeanor calm and collected as he worked hard to save Katie's life. Victoria couldn't even be mad as she instinctively felt like her sister was in safe hands. “Who is that?” Victoria asked with Damian replying. “That's the doctor I was talking about, Young Miss. As long as he has taken over, your sister is as good as cured.” Vincent grew bitter hearing his father praise William in such a manner, further increasing his hatred towards the fellow. What was so great about him that everyone couldn't stop praising him?... Did they think he was infallible?... Of course not! He didn't even care about Katie's life as he only wished for William to fail so that everyone would realize that he wasn't as good as they claimed him to be.

“Thaddeus Rothschild?” Trevor frowned slightly, finally betraying a hint of emotion. “What? Are you afraid?” Charlie was pleased. “Are your legs weak just by hearing his name? Let me tell you. Don’t think you can look down on people just because of your little achievements. Just so you know, the world is a big place, and there are many people better than you out there!” As soon as he said that, the Smiths clapped in agreement.“Nicely said!”“So what if he’s a general? He still needs to bow down to The White Tiger King!”“Ha! You must feel ashamed now after acting so outrageously, huh?”Seeing Trevor being humiliated, the Smiths were filled with renewed spirits, coming out of their distress.“He’s indeed my son. He managed to put Trevor in his place with a few words.” Standing in the front row, Kyle had a proud look on his face.As his son stood in the limelight, he also basked in the glory.“That’s right. Without Charlie here today, nobody would have been able to go up against Trevo
Going too far
Roughly two hours after the celebrations had begun, Richard got on his feet and raised his glass. “I’d like to propose a toast!” In response, everyone stood and raised their glass to toast in return.Just as he was about to begin his speech, a loud voice suddenly rang out, “The Storm family has arrived!”Instantly, all eyes turned toward the entrance.Under everyone’s gaze, a tall, handsome man walked in with a servant in tow.He gave off a terrifying aura–his entire body was radiating with an intense desire to kill.All the guests shuddered, not daring to face him directly.“Trevor Storm? It’s actually Trevor Storm?!”“Oh my god! Who would’ve thought that the Smiths were so respected? Even General Trevor Storm personally showed up to celebrate!”When the guests caught sight of the newcomer, they instantly burst into chatter.“He’s finally here,” Victoria muttered with furrowed brows.She knew that this matter had to end today.“Trevor, now that you’re here, please sit.” Richard stoo
In the face of absolute power
Just as Victoria was admiring herself in the mirror, Tanya arrived. “Your father wants to see you.”“Okay.” Victoria nodded and then quickly left with Tanya.Meanwhile, over in the hall, time slowly ticked by, and more guests arrived to join the celebration. The entire ballroom was alive with chatter.“Hey, isn’t that Mr. Black from the Black Rock Group? I heard he’s worth billions!”“Oh? Even Mr. Crawford is here?”“Look, I think that’s Mr. Langdon if Langdon Institute!”“As expected of the Smiths. I didn’t expect so many big shots to show up. This is really impressive!”Any one of the men mentioned could cause a huge ripple in the outside world. Yet, they had all gathered there.Truly, this was an assembly of the elite and the powerful!‘Not bad. It seems like our family still holds some influence,” Dennis said from the front–row seats, observing the lively ballroom with a wide grin.“Why, of course! When our family throws a birthday party, I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t respe
Six days later
“Why are you back so soon, Son? Weren’t you on a secret mission with your unit?” Kyle quickly approached his son joyfully once he snapped out of the initial shock of seeing Charlie.“Everything’s peaceful now, so I took a few days off.” Charlie chuckled.“Good, that’s good… It’s great to see you back! I haven’t seen you in a while!”“I’ve got good news, Dad. I’ve been promoted! I’m now a high–ranking commander in the Black Ops Division!” Charlie announced proudly.“What? A high–ranking commander?” An excited chatter broke out among the crowd, who were all delightfully surprised to hear that.“Hahaha! Great! That’s amazing!” Kyle laughed heartily. “My son is amazing! He’s been promoted again in just a year! I’m proud of you, Son!”“Like father, like son!” Dennis exclaimed enviously. “You’ll be as great as Trevor Storm, if not better than him in the future, Charlie!”“The Smith family has produced yet another amazing talent!” Richard was pleased too. “Congratulations, Charlie! You’ve a
Rejected and humiliated
Kyle and Tess finally returned to the Smith estate after almost the entire day had passed.“How’d it go, Kyle? Did Trevor agree to it?” Dennis asked Kyle when he saw the two of them.Kyle snorted. “Trevor Storm is as stubborn as a mule! No matter what I said or what offers I made him, he refused to agree! He insists on marrying Victoria, and that’s the end of the discussion. He even threatened us, saying that if Victoria did not appear as his bride on the day of the wedding, he’d bring his troops in and annihilate all of us Smiths!” “What? He threatened to send his troops?” Everyone was startled by the news Kyle brought.They had all thought that things would run smoothly.As long as Trevor agreed to their proposal, the marriage alliance would still be on.Who’d have thought that this was how things turned out?“I just don’t get it. What am I lacking compared to Victoria? Why would Trevor refuse to marry me?” Tess hissed through gritted teeth, livid.As a woman, she had lowered herse
Hoping for the best
“Well, since Tess is adamant, I have nothing to say.” Dennis calmly remarked, deciding to trust in his daughter's abilities. “What do the rest of you think?” Richard turned to face the rest of the family to get their say on the matter.“Tess is doing this for the family! We should support her!”“That’s right! There’s no better alternative anyway!”The crowd was quick to voice their approval.It didn’t matter to them who married Trevor.All they were concerned about was the success of the marriage alliance to protect the interest of the family.“I have everyone’s support, Uncle Richard. Surely you can’t say no?” Tess asked cautiously.“Sure, I can agree to it. But the question now is, will Trevor agree to it?”“Uncle Richard, I’m not lacking in the looks department, and I’m much more talented than Victoria. I’m certain Trevor will not reject me.” Tess confidently said. “Why don’t we ask him to find out?” Kyle suggested. “I will go to the Storms with Tess to talk about the marriage ar
