Chapter 230: His Downfall
“PACK YOUR things. We are going to leave this shitty house for good,” August commanded, his voice was cold and full of authority.
Daphne didn't respond immediately after hearing August's words. She knew that August was just getting swayed by his rage because of what he had seen, but she never thought his husband would decide that.
“But you know that we can't…” Daphne replied as her eyes widened more, not because of shock, but because she was reminding August of their goal.
It was easier to investigate things when they were in the Sandoval mansion, and if they leave the place for good, it just means it will be harder for them.
August and Daphne exchanged meaningful glances as the former understood what Daphne wanted to say. However, his deci

AS ANOTHER day passes, the Remington Corporation and Sandoval Corporation were busy with their hectic schedules and strategies to fight against each other.It was still all about the issues circulating about them—About that one video game that Bruce and August were debating about.Both of them only have one goal—To gain their company’s innocence and to clean up the issues as fast and as discreetly as they could. With that, August had a meeting with the legal department regarding the case.The lawyers needed to prove two things: The authenticity of the game ‘Hospital Tycoon,’ and Bruce Sandoval gaining credit on a proposal that isn’t his in the first place without the creator’s consent.“If you need more evidence to pr

BRUCE AND August exchanged deadly glances as the air was filled with tension. Both of them were silent, and the only noise in the courtroom for now is the phone vibrating from Bruce’s pocket.“Why aren’t you answering? It may be an important call,” August commented, glancing in Bruce’s pocket for a second before he moved his gaze again to his opponent’s eyes. “Who knows if it’s Father who was going to scold you at any time?”“Fuck you.”Bruce showed August his middle finger and shot him a bloodshot gaze before he went out of the courtroom, leaving August alone inside. He almost wanted to go back as he heard August’s sardonic laughter as soon as he left.But he realized that August may be right.

“SHIT!” August muttered angrily and was shocked as he was able to jump back, hitting his back on the wall as he dodged the attempted stab at him.“August? Hello? What’s happening there?” Daphne asked on the other line as he heard August cursing, but the latter didn’t answer him immediately. August became more attentive to his surroundings as he didn’t have any idea how an attacker was able to infiltrate the Remington mansion’s high security—Or he wasn’t sure if he could even call it high because an intruder was now inside his room.“I’ll explain to you everything. I’ll call you later,” said August as he hung up the call without waiting for Daphne to reply. After that, he fixed his stance as he stared at the attacker intently. “Who are you?” he asked, his gaze moving toward the brown envelope he was holding, making him frown. “Why are you holding a confidential document?”“That’s the main reason why I’m holding this—Because it’s confidential,” the guy replied nonchalantly. “Young mas

“EVERYONE, I know that all of you are thinking bad about our relationship with the Remington family because of our rankings, but I wanted to make things clear. We’re not here to compete with them. They are great on their own, and so are we,” said Wesley as he stared at the cameras.‘What the fuck is this old man blabbering about?’ August’s brows furrowed as confusion consumed his body. However, despite his irritation, he continued listening to the interview.“I am here to tell everyone that we, the Wellington family, are willing to cooperate with the Remington family to thoroughly investigate Cecile Johens’ death,” Wesley stated, causing the reporters to gasp in shock.But they didn’t throw Wesley more questions. “My son regretted being complacent at that time, too, and he wanted to apologize for that. We are more than willing to help.”“Cecile Johens is one of the people who took care of August before Charles Remington found him. How can you be so sure that their family will accept y

“IT’S FROM the Wellington family, Sir August. According to our investigation, Mr. Wesley Wellington had been cooperating with the media, gaining connection with them,” the IT department employee informed, causing August to lean on the chair while massaging his forehead.“Alright. Thank you for your good work,” August said and ended the call afterward.August went silent as he pondered on his thoughts. Aside from the media, Wesley had gained the Board of Directors' attention and trust too, given that some of his directors, particularly Sarah, wanted to get the company from him.It was only now that August realized that not all his competitors were outside the company. Some of them were lurking from the inside, too. With that, he needed to heighten his security as he couldn’t let all his father’s hardships go down the drain.“I need to defend my position as the chairman,” August muttered as he stared at the ceiling. “Without it and my wealth, I will be as good as a pathetic commoner.”A

‘HOLY CRAP.’ August couldn’t help but sigh in frustration as he held his nape and stared at the ceiling, containing his emotions.Of all those things that he expected to happen, Samantha kneeling in front of him, begging him to save her isn’t one of them.“How did you even get here?” August asked, trying to calm himself even though the anger and disbelief were already consuming him. “Ah, my blood pressure, shit.”“I need your help!” Samantha exclaimed.And before August even knew it, she already wrapped her hands around his legs, clinging onto them as Samantha's life was entirely dependent on it. “We’re ex-lovers, right? I’m in big trouble! I never thought that… That the Sandoval family were capable of doing those things!”“You’re one of them, Samantha. You’re even bringing their surname right now,” August answered nonchalantly.He held his ex-girlfriend in both arms and gently pulled her to stand up. “I don’t know what thought you had in mind to go here, but does even Bruce know abo

SHE IS the most stupid person in the world, and she knows it. Samantha couldn’t help but look at August in disbelief, the pain and betrayal registering upon her facial expression.“August… You can’t do this to me…” Samantha mumbled as her knees went wobbly. If not only for the table in front of her, she might be sitting on the floor now. “This isn’t what we have talked about…”“I know,” August said, and Samantha didn’t notice that he was just done talking to someone on the phone. “That’s why it is called betrayal. It’s painful, especially when you’re feeling desperate.”“How can you do this to me? I am your girlfriend!” Samantha exclaimed, gritting her teeth and clenching her jaw.“Ex-girlfriend, Samantha,” August corrected before he heaved a sigh. “Our relationship was over years ago.”As if on cue, two guards entered August’s office and took Samantha away, just like what he did yesterday. He could even hear Samantha cursing and begging him at the same time before the guard closed th

“WHERE DID you go? Why do you look like shit?” Nicole asked as Bruce went inside the room, all his clothes were soaked because of the rain. “Take a bath first before you go to the dining table. You know that your father didn’t like seeing you like that,” she added, shaking her head. “Yes, Mother.” Bruce nodded as he was tired to explain everything. He went to the bathroom to fix himself. Bruce wore a simple white shirt and sweatpants before he went to the dining table, joining Nicole and Jake for their late dinner. Samantha was already out of the picture as his parents were also informed of what she did earlier. However, they weren’t aware that Bruce felt hurt because of the same reason. “Did you chase that bitch away?” Jake asked while they were eating. “Y-Yes, Father.” “That’s good,” Jake commented, and Bruce only smiled subtly in response. Bruce ate his steak, but because of his stomach churning and his heart thumping rapidly, he felt like that piece of steak was hard to sw
