Serena was conversing with her secretary when her parents came in through the door of the office.

She frowned slightly. “Mom... Dad, what are you doing here?”

Secretary Lisa excused herself quickly, leaving them to talk.

Margaret quickly pulled a chair to sit in front of her daughter while Richard stood quietly behind.

“My sweet Serena, how could I not come to see you? This position of CEO truly fits you. That stubborn old man knows how to make things difficult. If he had made you CEO earlier, you would have made everyone proud.”

Serena smiled gently. “You always believed in me, Mom. I promise to get you a new Chanel bag as a celebration gift.”

“You are really sweet to me, daughter.”

“Why don't you say why you are truly here? Don't pretend to come all this way just to tell our daughter hello,” Richard said from the side.

His wife's fierce glance fell on him in an instant and she scolded him. “You always have to be a sore sight. Didn't I ask you not to follow me here?”

“Hmph! So you'll

    Rosalie stepped forward quickly to back up her mother. “That’s right! Frank already called his father, and his father assured him he’d work on it right away,” she said, gesturing emphatically. “Frank couldn’t have known that Derek and his men were already nearby and that his father hadn’t reached them yet. If Frank’s father had gotten to Derek in time, none of this would have happened.”She pointed directly at Elijah and cursed, “You’re the reason for all of this! If you had spoken up in time, this wouldn’t have happened today.”Elijah just smiled coldly, watching as they expertly turned all the blame onto him. These in-laws of his truly had their heads buried deep in this scammer’s lies.He turned his gaze directly to Frank, a small smirk playing at the corner of his lips. “Don’t you think you should stop your charade now? Who knows, you might be beaten to death next time for taking credit that isn’t yours to take.”“Shut up!” Frank cursed, pointing a trembling finger at Elijah. He e

    Frank's face twisted into a fit of pure rage after cursing at Elijah. His bloodied, swollen features contorted into something ugly and hateful.Margaret quickly jumped to her feet, her chest puffed out, ready for battle as she faced him. “Who permitted you to be here? Who allowed you to show your face?” she shouted at Elijah, pointing accusingly. “If you don't leave right now, I'll deal with you myself!”Elijah simply feigned innocence, his expression calm and unbothered. “Am I not allowed to ask about people?” he said casually, taking another sip of his orange juice through the straw.Rosalie stomped her foot angrily and also jumped to her feet. “Keep quiet right now!” Her voice was sharp. Then her eyes narrowed suspiciously. “Wait! How did you even know Derek Robinson was coming here to apologize to us?”How could she have forgotten? This useless brother-in-law had actually mentioned something along the line before leaving them earlier.Elijah just smiled calmly and tilted his head.

    At that moment, one of Derek's men came running forward urgently from behind and announced breathlessly, "Leader! The Young Physician is calling!"Fear gripped Derek instantly. The boldness in his countenance vanished, leaving him stammering nervously as he commanded quickly, "R—receive it! Hurry!"Even Serena noticed how drastically Derek had changed after hearing those words, and this made her wonder deeply: Who is this Young Physician person?Now that she thought about it, Mr. Jafari King had actually referred to her insolent husband as "the Young Physician" earlier tonight, before realizing it was a case of mistaken identity...Was this Young Physician even more highly placed than the King of the Underground himself?Derek's subordinate took the call and held the phone up against Derek's ear since he no longer had fingers free to hold it himself. His face was covered in a layer of sweat now, and his body shivered, just as Frank's had moments ago, as he spoke into the phone nervous

    Frank was bleeding profusely from the side of his head where Derek had headbutted him. Blood ran down in thick streams, staining the gauze that covered the right side of his face. Even with his now-swollen, tear-filled eyes, he looked like something out of a horror movie—grotesque and pitiful all at once.Derek's men didn't hesitate. They shoved Frank closer to their leader and kicked him hard onto his knees. One of them slapped the back of his head viciously while the others hurled profanities at him."Who does this fool think he is, talking nonsense to Leader Derek?""I even thought he was with the Young Physician! To think he was acting on some stupid name!""He even dares to call Mr. King and the Young Physician by name without respect today! He really wants to die!""He thinks he can just kick us like dogs and walk away? Nonsense!""We should cripple him! Yes, that's right!""How dare you touch us without the Young Physician's authority? Who are you in the first place? We know ev

    At this moment, Frank Allen was completely self-absorbed in all the praise being showered upon him, drowning himself in his own delusion that he actually had a father who worked miracles for him like this regularly.He puffed out his chest arrogantly once more and declared loudly for everyone present to hear, “My father is Allen Jones of the indigenous Jones family in Sorevia! My father is a top executive at Mercedes-Benz!” He pointed accusingly at Derek and raised his voice even louder than before. “How dare you say you don't know my father when you're kneeling here because of him?”At this point, even Derek's men began staring at each other in visible confusion because they were already wondering who this arrogant guy even was—the one who not only attacked them unprovoked but kept talking endlessly about his father while Ms. DiLaurentis herself, the one they'd actually offended, hadn't even touched them yet.Derek's voice came out slow but dangerous as h

    Rosalie raised her hand high and cheered loudly, “Frank! Teach them a proper lesson! How dare they think they can touch us and go scot-free like that?”This emboldened Frank even further. He rushed at the other men still kneeling on the floor and began attacking them directly with wild swings of his fists and awkward kicks.He wasn't a fighter. He had never been in a real fight in his entire privileged life—so his attacks didn't pack much power at all. But since the men already had healing injuries and swollen faces from earlier, even his weak blows affected them to some extent.Still, they remained sorrowful and didn't dare retaliate. They knew their lives hung by a thread tonight. This apology had to be sincere, and it had to go through. They couldn't afford to mess this up.Serena frowned slightly as she watched Frank's behavior escalate. As much as she appreciated what he'd done for her family tonight, one still had to call someone to order wh
