Chapter 168: Warning Disguised As Gratitude
MEANWHILE, at the Wellington mansion, Wesley hurled his phone against the wall in a fit of fury. He didn’t care if his phone would be destroyed or not; he just wanted to release the madness inside him.
He had just received word from one of his people about the subsidiary acquisition, and with Jake’s pretentious innocence when he asked him about that news, his rage had yet to subside.
“That despicable bastard!” Wesley snarled through gritted teeth, pertaining to Jake. His frustration was palpable in his voice. “After all we’ve done to help him, this is how he repays us? They’re never even going to reach the top five rankings if it’s not for us!”
Wesley’s eyes darkened with an intensity that could burn through steel, and his knuckles whitened as he tightened

AFTER going to the hospital, August arrived at the restaurant a little late. It was a five-star hotel restaurant that he reserved earlier in his free time. He wanted to celebrate this day with Daphne, the key to why he was able to do his revenge.“I’m sorry I’m late,” said August as he sat across Daphne, who looked at him with her eyebrows raised yet with a small smile on her lips.“I thought you ditched me already,” said Daphne in a playful tone, followed by August’s laughter.“Why would I do that to a beautiful girl like you?” answered August as his smile widened. “If I do that, I’ll be the dumbest man in the world.”“Silly!” Daphne couldn’t help but laugh, too. Based on August’s actions, she could see that he was in a good mood. She prayed that August would feel the same emotions every day.“Just tell me what you like to order, or we can order everything if you want,” said August as he took the menu and scanned it.“Sorry, I can’t. I’m on a diet.,” Daphne smiled and laughed.Sudd

FROM: Fiona WalkerI got intel from one of my friends in the hospital, and the data storage room was completed. They resumed their operations last month, and Sir Francis didn’t know about it, maybe because of his preparations for his wedding with Miss Daphne.However, it was only the owner who could go inside. As far as I know, he never gave any access to anyone else except him.August’s brows furrowed after reading Fiona’s message. After he left the hospital, as he drove towards the restaurant, he asked her about the Data Storage room since he heard Francis ask about it earlier.‘I was right. There’s something fishy about that hospital,’ said August at the back of his mind as his gaze darkened, and his grip on the phone tightened. ‘Francis must be hiding something.’“If that is urgent, we can go now,” said Daphne when he noticed how August’s gaze was fixated on his phone. “I’m starting to get full, anyway.”“No, it’s fine. I’m just thinking about something,” replied August in a serio

LUCAS’ brows furrowed as he bent his body and took a peek at whatever August was looking at.“Oh, that girl?” he asked, slightly surprised, as he pointed at the woman beside Mrs. Johens. “I don’t have any idea, either. But it looks like they were best friends,” he added.August shared the same sentiment with Lucas. As Mrs. Johens’ and the woman beside her formed a heart shape using their hands, he knew that she was an important person in Mrs. Johens’ life.However, something bothered him.“Mrs. Johens told me before that she wasn’t able to make friends with anyone because of her situation before. I wonder what that was…” August trailed off, his gaze never leaving the old picture. “But I’m sure, I’ve seen this woman somewhere. I just don’t know where.”August placed his hands on his chin and lightly caressed it, carefully analyzing if his hunch were true. All he knew was that he was desperate to find any clues that would give him even a little clue on why the Wellington family would

“YES, young master.” Sapphire nodded. “I heard that they acquired the hospital at an affordable price, but the payback was too bad to the point that they couldn’t even get back their acquisition price.”“Why would that happen?” August asked and scanned the documents again. He wasn’t that good at accounting, so he hoped that Sapphire could explain the overwhelming amounts in front of him.“I’m sorry, young master. I don’t have any idea either,” answered Sapphire honestly as she scratched her head.“It’s fine.” August showed her a small yet genuine smile. “Good job on this. You may go now.”“Yes, young master,” replied Sapphire and left the room.It has been a while since he had a one-on-one conversation with Sapphire, and he expected that everything would change, especially with everyone’s knowledge that he was the real heir. However, he hoped somehow that their previous relationship as siblings would go back… But it shouldn’t be thinking about that as of now.As August was left in t

AUGUST tilted his head, confused. “A what?” “A special employee, young master,” Maxine repeated as she took a glance again at her laptop. “If you’re sure about the information you got that she worked here, then it might be the reason why she isn’t on my list of employees,” she added, her gaze going serious. “I’m certain,” August answered, knowing how attentive to detail Fiona was as he had worked with her before in the Strategy Department. “What is a special employee? I didn’t know that there’s such a term here.” “Special employees are those people inside this mansion that was personally chosen by Master Charles,” Maxine explained. She turned off her laptop. “They were working in the mansion for a confidential reason, and no one knows it. It’s even rare for some of the employees to see them inside.” August nodded, but his thoughts were wandering somewhere else. For him, it sounded like a spy, and even if he tried to think of something that could be a reason for Charles to hire M

CHARLES, despite the fear he was feeling, was able to call for help as he saw his son being critically injured while the blood didn’t stop flowing on his head.His people brought him to the Remington Medical Center, and Charles couldn’t stop from shaking as August was placed on the stretcher. He was afraid that August would also leave him… Like Clementine.“Sir August!” Maxine called, gasping in shock when he saw August being unconscious. “Are you okay, sir?” she asked when her gaze moved onto Charles.“I-I’m fine…” answered Charles, slightly stammering as he could see the horrible past in August’s situation right now. “Do everything to save my son!”“We will, Sir,” Ma

“REPEAT what you just said. You’re messing up with me, aren’t you?” asked Charles in a stern and authoritative tone as he went to the same orphanage again after six years. “Why are you telling me my son isn’t here anymore? I left him here six years ago!”His heart almost fell out of his chest when he heard the news.Charles was known by everyone as a calm person. He knew how to handle things with authority and calmness at the same time, but now, as he stood up in front of the new owner of the orphanage, he couldn’t help but exclaim as he burst into a rage.“Please calm down, sir,” the new female young owner said as she moved her hands gently, telling Charles to stabilize his breathing. “That man you’re looking for was adopted a few days ago. Even if you try to find him in every corner of the place, you’ll never see him.”“Why is he placed for adoption in the first place?! I only told you to take care of him until I come back!”This time, Charles stomped his hands on the counter, hard,

SOME of the questions in August's mind had been answered, but at the same time, there were new questions where he needed to find the answer again. At this time, he was curious about whoever the traitor inside the mansion was, and if it was related to Harvey since he was the one who instructed Mateo to attack him on his first day staying at the Remington Mansion.No matter how hard August tried to sleep, he couldn’t, so he stopped trying. He stood up from the bed and went outside of his room to go to the garden and breathe some fresh air.He walked down the stairs and stopped when he was in front of Charles’ big painting located in the middle of the two brown stairs on both sides. In his back, there is another stair that would lead him to the ground floor.“Father, you look authoritative here, but no one knows what you’re really feeling inside…” said August in a sad tone. “You tried to act strong for all of us, even if it costs you your health.”August sighed. He knew that it was too
