“MRS. JOHENS.”
“Yes?” Mrs. Johens, who was currently wiping the table as the two customers left for their seats when they finished eating, suddenly stopped what she was doing as she heard someone come.
"It's me," August answered as the smile never left his lips.
He was glad to see Mrs. Johens again as both of them weren't able to see each other for a long time.
"Who?"
Her head turned onto the man who called her, and a gasp escaped her lips, followed by her eyes widening as she saw August standing behind her.
“August!”
She left her chore, went quickly to the sink to wash her h

Chapter 51: The Problem With Adoption
ON THE day where Mateo and August were sent to the clinic inside the Remington Mansion, Mateo was silently groaning while feeling the pain in his leg. It was painful that it almost went numb.“The young mistress is really something,” he heard Maxine mumble and let out a chuckle as someone lay Mateo on the white, small bed.However, August was sent inside another room. It was another room in the clinic room, and his eyes widened as his lips parted in shock as he saw that the room may look small on the outside, but exquisite on the inside.As he was only half-conscious, he couldn’t see who lay him down on the bed. A sigh of relief escaped his lips. His eyes were spinning and his breathing was ragged. Maxine went onto him as she was about to cure her, but he suddenly spoke.
Chapter 52: Strange Text Message
WITHOUT a second thought, August immediately ran into the Mercedes-Benz and called Nicollo, who fortunately was standing near their car at that time.Nicollo was about to puff his electric cigarette, but he quickly placed it in his pocket when he saw how worried August’s expression was. Thinking that it might be about him getting caught puffing a cigarette during his break time, he bowed his head, ready to apologize.But August’s command snapped him out of his thoughts.“Accompany me to the same place today,” said August as he pulled the car door to the side. He didn’t even wait for Nicollo to do it. “The same place where we went earlier,” he added as he sat in the middle seat.His palms were accumulating sweat more than usual. H
Chapter 53: Unexpected Visitor
AT EARLY dawn, August went into the parking lot of the hospital where Mrs. Johens was admitted earlier.He was with his bodyguards. All of them were attentive, especially Nicollo, whose hands were on his gun on his waist so he could pull it in any minute.No one could be uncomplacent when it comes to the young master’s safety. All of them thought that it could be a prank, a scam, or something that would place August in danger.However, August, as his emotions went onto him again, didn’t care as his curiosity filled his mind.“Are you August Fordman?”A young, petite nurse who was still wearing her uniform suddenly appeared in front of her. And she almost fainted when the bodyguards surrounded him, having their g
Chapter 54: A Piece of Trash
“HEY, AUGUST.” A man wearing an expensive white and blue checkered polo shirt and black pants greeted him. Even though it was late in the evening, that man even flexed his Ray-ban sunglasses at the top of his head— like he wanted August to realize how rich he was, and how different their worlds were. It’s no other than Bruce. August tried to maintain his composure, but the fact that Bruce even had the courage to go to the Remington Mansion just to see him— he couldn’t help but feel amused. That emotion was even visible in his eyes. “Long time no see, don’t you think?” Bruce asked in a sarcastic tone as he raised a brow, smirking. ‘His courage is something,’ August said
Chapter 55: Pathetic
BRUCE snapped his neck before he turned his head to see who was the bastard who dared to stop him. He was ready to say curses and burst into anger— he was already mad because of August in the first place— but he stopped when he saw who it was.“Mr. C-Charles Remington,” Bruce mumbled with his voice cracking.He blinked his eyes twice, unable to believe the sight beside him. He only saw Charles on television before. It was really hard for families not in the top ten to see someone from a high-ranking family, but now, it was like a dream come true.‘This fucking pathetic commoner is also useful somehow!’ Bruce said at the back of his mind in ecstasy. ‘Father would be happy if I told him about this!’Jake Sandoval always wante
Chapter 56: I'll Make Him Pay
MEANWHILE, in the Sandoval mansion, Samantha was walking back and forth while waiting for Bruce to come home. She knew his plan all along— on going to the Remington mansion to ask August about setting an appointment with Charles Remington— but she’s still nervous. ‘Of all the years I worked for the Sandoval Corporation, I knew that the high-ranking people don’t show themselves that much,’ Samantha said at the back of her mind. Samantha played with her lower lips using her fingers as she continued walking like a tornado that continued spinning. She looked at her wristwatch again and muttered, “Why isn’t he here?” “Sis, can you just sit down?” Daphne, who was also in the living room with her, spoke. “I’m watching TV and I can’t seem to focus. I’m already dizzy because you walk back and forth like this place is a runway.” Samantha’s face went into a grimace. She raised a brow as her other hand went on her waist— like a landlady ready to attack Daphne anytime. “If you’re just going to
Chapter 57: Yellow Sports Car
A WEEK had passed, and everything was silent— something that August didn’t expect to happen. He thought that Bruce would make a way to humiliate him or destroy his reputation as he made before, but he didn’t make any move.However, August didn’t let his guard down. Still, he continued on his physical training, not just for the part of Charles’ planned training for him, but also to prepare himself for whatever was coming in the future.“Fuck,” August muttered under his breath as his knuckles hurt because of one hard punch he made, making him stop punching for a while as he stretched his hand, relieving the pain in it.Fortunately, all his wounds, including the severe wound on his stomach last time, were healed— Thanks to the advanced medicines the Remin
Chapter 58: Threat
“FATHER,” August greeted as he entered Charles' office. “Maxine told me that it's an urgent matter,” he added as he continued walking, and stopped as soon as he was in the near distance with Charles' table.Charles nodded before he pointed at the couch. “Take a seat, son.”Even if August thought that all their conversations as father and son were all pretendings and a part of his training, Charles was still delighted every time he could call August his son, without any fears that August would get weirded out.“Did something happen?” asked August as Charles sat in front of him, and placed the crane on his side. “You look paler than the last tim
