"What's wrong, Richard?" Adam stood up, a bit startled. "Oh, you haven't seen the online reviews yet. Have you?" Richard happily showed it to him. "The executives were very impressed with the wisdom which you solved this case." Richard led him into the conference hall, beaming with smiles. "The company's reputation has been boosted immensely due to your actions. I wasn't wrong about you after all." "Now, who was it that said Mr Carson didn't have the skills suitable for the job?" Mr Ernestine was the first to speak up. "For Senior Walter to have vouched for him, means he was very impressed with his amazing skills!""According to the information we got from the CCTV footage, the previous Head of HR had been aiding the reporter in breaching our company's privacy policy.""For that, Miss Brooks is going to face disciplinary actions and her background re-checked! Who let such a person in anyway?"Roberto's face turned sour. Mr Ernestine apologized to Adam for doubting him at first, th

"You can come in." Adam said to the person at the door. Isaac picked up his napkin to wipe his lips when his hands froze. "S...Son?"Starting back at him was his very own beloved son, Felix Walters. "Father," Felix growled in disdain, his face hard as he took a few steps forward. "S...Son, you're awake?" Isaac's eyes was still wide with shock. He stumbled up in an attempt to reach out and touch his son. "After 9 months, you're finally awake!""And you have a lot of explaining to do!" Felix grabbed his hands, stepping away from his touch. He glanced around the huge hall, his face getting colder. "I can see you you've been having a good time while I lay unconscious.""Son, you can't say that." Isaac muttered, pain in his voice. "Do you have an idea how I torture myself to sleep every night? My nightmare are plagued by regrets and agony. If I didn't throw you out when you came running back for my help, you wouldn't be in that condition, your wife would still be alive and your childr
Isaac’s eyes darkened tremendously as he gazed into his son’s fierce eyes. “A…Are you threatening me right now?”“Take it however you like, old man. Answer my question already, I don’t have all day!” Felix smiled bitterly. As he said this, he retrieved his phone and almost immediately, a recording was playing.Isaac’s heart palpitated as he heard himself from 15 years ago, gearing Williams on when he started turning into a cruel kid.He swallowed hard, his fearful gaze zeroed in on the man in front of him. “Y…You can’t betray your father like this!”“Who says I can’t?” Felix let out a mocking laughter. “Did my own father consider me when he was making bad decisions?”The old man stumbled back on trembling legs and fell on the sofa, his eyes reflecting fear and angst.“Dad, please.” Adam had to jump in at this point. “We can talk this out. We should all be on the same team, not working against each other.”“You tell that to your grandfather, is he ready to work with us and stop hiding
"Adam Carter! You useless piece of trash! How could you be so careless?" Adam was jolted awake by the shrill sound of his mother-in-law's voice. He rushed down to the sitting room to see her panicking and yelling. "Useless man! You've burnt down the whole of my kitchen!"His heart skipped a beat as he dashed towards the left, revealing a big cloud of smoke. "Fuck! This is bad!"When he was done with his chores, he didn't leave any appliances on earlier. But he recalled that David was walking towards the kitchen when he left. With panic, Adam dashed into the kitchen. David was the 8-year old son of his wife's elder brother, Nate Hemsworth. If anything happened to him, the whole family wouldn't spare him. "David!" Adam adjusted his eyes, holding his breath in the fumes. The smoke was coming from the microwave oven, and hadn't penetrated everywhere yet. "David!" He finally found the little figure huddled in one corner of the kitchen, seemingly unconscious. "My poor grandson! Oh
Adam's heart skipped a beat.The last time Lori sent him out, he forgot to prepare warm water for her bath. She'd thrown him out, only allowing him in at midnight. But now she was going to lock him out till the next morning? That too, in front of a stranger? "You're not deaf, are you? I said, get out!" Lori screamed again. Adam gritted. It would only get worse if he stayed, so he picked his wife and placed her in the bedroom. After placing some medications for hangovers by her cabinet, he left and went to sit in the garden. 6pm. Adam lazed around, tending the garden and watering the herbs he secretly cultivated. His father had left a Chinese book of medicine and he found some good herbs he could cultivate locally. If he sold some, he might be able to afford some quality gifts for his wife's birthday next month. Night descended and soon Adam could hear the sound of laughter from the dining, Roberto's voice the loudest. That pervert! If Roberto thinks he could snatch Seraphina
