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
Chapter 59: The Abuser
“Samantha!” August exclaimed loudly as his eyes widened. “What are you saying? Are you out of your mind?!”Some maids looked at him because he shouted, but for now, he didn’t care about that.The shock was evident in his voice. He knew that Samantha might be stubborn sometimes, but she was not the type of person who would say something like that.It may be because of two things— she was threatening him, or something happened to her.“I’m glad that you still know me,” said Samantha. He could hear the mixture of sadness and amusement in her voice.“How will I not? We were together for a long time,”
Chapter 60: Like Nothing Happened
“AUGUST…” Samantha muttered as her gaze traveled onto his fists.Her mouth formed into an O. She wanted to explain— remembering the times when August repeatedly asked her about the bruises— but she couldn’t force herself to do it.Samantha didn’t know what to say, and she couldn’t understand what she felt as she saw August in front of her. It felt like she could now sigh in relief— like a person who will always take her side already arrived.However, she was the one who placed him in danger… and will continuously do it for her greed.On the other hand, August could only look at her with annoyance.“Hey,” Bruce
Chapter 61: Rich Families' Gathering
“DID HE lose his mind already? Or… did you beat him up too much?” Harvey asked Bruce as he stared intently at August who acted like he wasn’t beaten up by them earlier. He found it odd that although August acted like he was in deep pain earlier, but now, he could even walk properly without holding his stomach. Harvey’s face went into a grimace— feeling irritated and confused at the same time. “Maybe it is.” Bruce shrugged, ignoring August as he didn’t care about him anymore. “Maybe my hard punches have shaken up his brain. It will be good if that’s the case.” Bruce was already satisfied that he made August his punching bag. Whatever he would do next would not concern Bruce anymore. “Forget about him, man,” Último capítulo
