DESPITE AUGUST having an idea, he didn’t trust his mind, just like what the man advised him not to trust everyone. August took his phone and typed someone’s name. As he saw the results, August nodded twice as his research confirmed the guy’s identity.

All of you already knew about his situation!” he added, pertaining to Charles’ condition.The tone of his voice slightly rose, and his voice became louder, too. August’s burst of anger took the attention of everyone within the vicinity, and as August realized he was starting to create a scene, he waved his hands to everyone looking at him, a sign that he was apologizing.“Miss Sapphire told us not to call you while you’re in a meeting. She said that we might disturb you,” the nurse informed Augus

“W-WHAT ARE you saying?” asked Charles, his voice slightly stammered as he stared at Wesley’s sinister expression.“Like me, you also didn’t know what happened to your wife, right?” Wesley asked as his voice went dangerously low, and his gaze darkened, too. “Well, I know what happened to her. Do you want me to tell you about it?”“You fuc—”Charles was about to curse Wesley for mentioning Clementine using his filthy mouth, but he wasn’t able to do that when Charles felt like there was a sudden tick on his skull.He closed his eyes as he felt the sudden pain consuming his body gently from his head down to his chest.

Only to find out that Sapphire was already waiting for them, wanting to have some tea.“I wonder how you react to that?” Sapphire asked, teasing August more. “Prove yourself to be an heir? Cliché.
