At Castellan Tower. 50th floor. CEO office.Magnus Castellan sat in his luxurious leather chair with feet propped up on the desk, a glass of expensive cognac in his right hand, cigar in his left. His face radiated absolute satisfaction.Adrian stood in front of the large window facing Silverlake city, hands in his pants pockets, wide smile on his face."Perfect," Magnus said in a voice full of satisfaction. "Everything went perfectly."He sipped the cognac, then laughed softly."In less than twenty-four hours, Morgan Steel & Trade lost almost all its suppliers. Major clients are starting to withdraw. Rumors of poor quality spreading like wildfire."The cigar brought to his lips, inhaled deeply, smoke coming out slowly."And the best part? No trail leading to us."Adrian turned, looking at his father with the same satisfied smile."They must already suspect this is our doing," he said in a dismissive tone. "But they can't prove anything."Magnus nodded with satisfaction."Of course the

The next morning in the Morgan Residence dining room.The large dining table was occupied by only three people. Augustus at the head of the table. Lein on the left side. Celine on the right side. The other family members weren't interested in joining.Augustus let out a heavy sigh, looking at the empty table with a disappointed gaze."Forgive them, Lein," he said in a tired tone. "I spoke with them last night, but they're still stubborn."Lein raised his coffee cup, smiling thinly."It doesn't matter, Old Master Morgan. I'm used to it."Meanwhile, Celine sat with a stiff posture. Her hand held a fork but didn't move. Her eyes occasionally glanced at Lein with quick movements, then immediately returned to staring at her plate. Her cheeks slightly flushed."Why am I like this? This is just Lein. But... but why does my heart pound every time I see him?"She glanced again. Lein was sipping coffee calmly. His face looked relaxed, handsome in his simple way. Her heart pounded again.Celine

Night. Morgan Residence dining room.The dining table that was usually filled with warm and lively atmosphere now felt cold, like winter that suddenly arrived.That was because Lein was among them, and most of them didn't like his presence.Sarah had already checked into a hotel since this afternoon, giving privacy to Celine and her family.Lein sat beside Celine with a calm posture. His face flat as usual, unaffected by the cold gazes directed at him from various directions.Cedric looked at him with a sharp gaze. Vivienne didn't even glance at him at all. Silas occasionally snorted quietly. Marsha cut her steak with rough motions, as if she were cutting something else. Only Augustus smiled warmly at Lein.Celine sat beside Lein with an anxious face. Her hands occasionally squeezing the napkin in her lap.Seeing Lein receive so many cold gazes from her family, guilt began filling her chest."This is all my fault. Lein shouldn't have to endure all this. Instead of repaying my debt to

Adrian got into his luxurious sports car with rough movements. The door slammed shut hard.SLAM!His hands gripped the steering wheel with terrifying force. Veins in his hands protruding. Face completely red."DAMN IT!" he shouted inside the empty car.This was the greatest humiliation of his life!Rejected for a poor man. Kicked out of the Morgan Family home. Told to tattle to grandfather.Embarrassing!With brutal movements, he stepped on the gas.VROOM!The car sped at high speed away from the Morgan Family residence, cutting through Silverlake's streets at speeds that broke limits.Red lights ignored. Other cars' horns ignored. Traffic rules ignored.Only one thing on his mind: revenge!Thirty minutes later, the car stopped roughly in front of a luxurious skyscraper in downtown Silverlake.Castellan Tower.Business headquarters of the Castellan Family.Adrian got out of the car, threw the keys at the valet parking, then walked quickly into the building.Private elevator, 50th floo

Augustus looked at Adrian with a sharp gaze. Then spoke in a loud voice, full of power, "Tell your grandfather that his grandson has become insolent!"Adrian flinched. Eyes widening with shock.Augustus continued in an increasingly cold tone, "Tell him to punish you! Because you dared to threaten his friend!"The entire room fell into suffocating silence. Adrian stood frozen. His face completely pale."My grandfather's friend? Augustus Morgan is friends with my grandfather?"He didn't know. No one told him. And now he had threatened his own grandfather's friend.No wonder back then his grandfather asked him to marry Celine. He didn't ask the reason and immediately agreed. Having a new toy who's a superstar? Who wouldn't want that?And who knew his grandfather was actually friends with Augustus.At this point, Augustus turned to face all the Morgan Family members with a disappointed gaze."You," he said in a loud but controlled voice, "don't care about Celine's happiness."His eyes swe

Augustus lay there for a few moments, eyes staring at the ceiling with a blank gaze.Then, slowly, his hand moved. Touching his chest, pressing gently.No pain.No shortness of breath.No pressure in the lungs.His hand moved to his stomach, pressing slightly.The stomach that was previously hard and full of fluid now felt normal, soft, no swelling.His legs moved. Legs that were previously severely swollen now felt light.Augustus sat up slowly. His breath came out easily, deeply, and steadily. No gasping. No coughing. No feeling of weakness.His eyes widened with a realization that hit like lightning.He... was cured.He was really cured!There was only a slight itch in his throat from the black fluid that had just come out. Otherwise, he had returned to his prime condition.No! Even more than that. He felt better than his prime condition.In his eighty years of life, he had never felt this good.Energy flowed throughout his body. His mind was clear. His body was light. His breathin
