Henry was looking much better. He sat upright at the end and tried to scoop some spoonful of soup that had been handed to him by the nurse.“Dad! Dad! "How are you feeling? "Does it still hurt anywhere?” Max asked anxiously as his gaze trailed through his entire body.“I am fine son”, Henry widened his lips in a smile, making the wrinkles around his eyes more visible. “I know that I must have scared you and your sister. I am truly sorry about that.”“Who is talking about that? None of that matters right now, all that matters is the fact that you are alive and well”Both men finally relaxed before Henry proceeded to ask. “I heard it was an expensive surgery and my insurance couldn't cover it. How were you able to pay the bill?”“I h

Max could not stop tapping on the table anxiously. After the call he received the other day, he was instructed to go to this hotel and was asked to go ahead and order whatever he wanted.While Max was told of the offer over the phone, it sounded too good to be true. He didn't believe that there was anyone ready to give such an offer, but their company was in a fiery situation. He was desperate and if there was any means possible, then he had to try.He had been seated at the hotel counter for a while now and even though he was instructed to go ahead and take whatever he wanted, Max was too anxious to go with the order, for fear that he might not be able to pay just in case the caller didn't show up.But after a while, a man dressed in a black suit with black sunglasses walks up to him and, while acting casual, he whispers to him.“Mr. Steele, come with me right now!” He ordered and started walking out of there, although Max had no idea who he was, but immediately followed him upstairs
Chapter One Hundred And Nineteen
Ethan stood in the VIP section of a grand hotel. He could not stop staring at his watch from time to time. He was meeting up with a very important client for a lunch meeting, but he had been there for a while now.“Liam! Are you sure you informed our clients of the details of the meeting?”“Yes Sir, they wanted to push it forward, but insisted on this time. I am also surprised they are not here yet since it was all their decision.”Liam grunted. Ethan felt like he had been belittled. He could not wait any longer as he rose to his feet.But just as he adjusted his tie and mask and was about to walk out of there, the client immediately arrived, accompanied by two of his men.“Mr. Bennett! I know that you must be truly mad at me right now. I am so sorry for the delay. There was an emergency at the office and I had to sort it out before I could leave, else it would have led to some damage in the office.”“That is no excuse. You are a professional. All you should have done was place a call
Chapter One Hundred And Eighteen
Sophia stood still for a while, staring at the old woman's flare-up at her and once it seemed like the old woman was done speaking, she smiled politely at her.“Mother, you need to calm down. I might have had a bad relationship with your daughter in the past and I understand that must be the reason you seemed so angry, but trust me, it's all sorted out.”“Sorted out?” She asked, Mrs. Bennett was finding it difficult to believe the words she was saying, yet she did not stop staring at Sophia with nothing but disgust and contempt.“Yes, in fact, I know you haven't been informed of it, but Mr. Bennett and I are really close. In fact, we might soon become a couple, which is why I wanted to see you and have some motherly advice from you.”Seeing that she had calmed down, Sophia drifted closer to her and tried to wrap her hands around her. But Mrs. Bennett had forgotten all about her sickness or how weak she was. She raised her hand and slammed Sophia pretty hard in the face.Sophia felt h

Sophia was starting to lose all the money in her account and, with no job or contract, she knew it was only a matter of time before she went bankrupt and the thought of that was starting to scare her like hell.After several thoughts, she decided to put a call to the Bennett corporation, hoping that she would be able to get through to Mr. Bennett to appreciate him for his help, and she might finally start a relationship between them, but no matter all her efforts, she was asked to book an appointment, stating her official reason she wanted to speak to him.And after several trials, all her efforts were in vain.
