“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. Charles could not understand what he was feeling either when his heart started thumpin

I should have been there!” Sapphire exclaimed in excitement as Maxine told her what happened earlier at the emergency meeting in detail.Maxine could do that because as the secretary, she had the minutes of the meeting. After the emergency meeting, which had a shorter duration than what August had expected, he and Maxine went to the CEO’s office. 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. Sounds like those urban movies that I’ve watched!” she added and released her laughter afterward.Maxine was torn between reprimanding Sapphire about not teasing the young master or just letting them have their sibling quarrel.

Chapter 229: The Stolen Proposal
DAYS AFTER the new video game was launched by the Remington Corporation with August’s lead on the market, the users couldn’t help but register as beta gamers and try the game. At first, only the first two hundred registrants could play the game so the Strategy Department could get feedback and modify the game based on it, but after a month of countless trial and error to make the game reach perfection, the Remington Corporation released it to everyone who wanted to play. “The Remington Corporation’s new video game is now the top hit in the Play Stores nationwide!” “Despite their first time to release a product which wasn’t aligned to their main industry, the Remington Corporation was gaining overwhelmingly positive feedback from the gamers! Even the gaming experts told in their interviews that the game was formulated precisely!” “As the Remington Corporation had an exclusive partnership with the Johnson Gamings for the new video game, their good relationship had impacted positivel
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
Chapter 231: This Is Just The Beginning

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
Chapter 232: Harvey's Rage
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.
Chapter 233: The Rival Company Is Helping Us
“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
