Chapter 163: Dinner Time
A FEW minutes passed, and the maids had set the dining table for Bruce, Samantha, Nicole, and Daphne. The maids were standing behind them just in case someone called them to command something.
As they were about to start eating, Daphne realized that August was nowhere to be seen.
“Wait, where’s August?” Daphne asked as she roamed around the area to check where her husband was.
To her surprise, August was already there standing behind Jake, looking dashing in his expensive black polo shirt and white shorts. With that, they realized that August was still an heir no matter how badly they treated him.
Nicole couldn’t resist making a sarcastic comment, “Right. We forgot August is a part of our family now!”

THE whole Sandoval family rushed to Jake as they saw him coughing uncomfortably. He had just taken a spoonful of soup, which was August’s cooking, and it seemed to have gone down the wrong way.“Father!” Bruce and Samantha called in unison as they tried to make Jake stop from coughing.Samantha lightly caressed and hit Jake’s back, while Bruce took the water from the side and immediately gave it to Jake, which the latter drank in three gulps.It looked like Jake wanted to say something, but he was saving his energy to calm himself down first. He hit his chest repeatedly while breathing heavily. Nicole, on the other hand, was just silent as she also went beside her husband.“Is something wrong in the soup?” asked Bruce as the tip of his

DAPHNE showed Samantha a video. It was a clip of Samantha adding salt and sugar to August's dish, with a wicked smile on her face.“You're stupid,” Daphne said, shaking her head. “I lived in Hawaii for too long, and I learned how to cook because of that. The moment I saw what you did, I recooked the dishes again.”Samantha's face turned red with embarrassment, not knowing what to say.“If you plan to sabotage my husband like this, try harder.” Daphne approached Samantha, caressing her cheek with a hint of intimidation. “You may have thought of me as an illegitimate child, but the Sandoval blood is still with me, and you'll forever be an in-law.”Daphne made sure to emphasize each and every word so Samantha would feel its in

THE afternoon came, and August informed Daphne that he was going home and wanted to request a meeting about the Remington and Sandoval family’s future partnership. Nicole and Jake couldn’t help but smile as they were in the living room, waiting for their great son-in-law to arrive. “I think August will come in a minute,” Nicole said with excitement, looking at the clock. “I hope it’s about the Joint Venture already.” Jake nodded and agreed. He couldn’t suppress the smile on his face. As Daphne walked past them, Nicole called her. “Daphne, come here. Sit with us while waiting for August.” “No. I prefer to stay in my room,” Daphne declined the offer nonchalantly. Jake noticed Nicole’s grip on her dress tightening. He didn’t like how Daphne was talking to them. “That’s an order. Sit here,” Jake said firmly, trying to assert his authority. ‘I don’t even like to be in a room with you too, what more if I’m going to strike up a conversation? I’ll die,’ complained Daphne at the back o

AUGUST got everyone’s attention, including Daphne, because of his statement. Daphne looked at him intently, wondering what was going onto his mind, but she couldn’t decipher it.“You should sit first so we can discuss it,” said August as he smiled widely. He accompanied Jake onto his seat. “I know, this isn’t what you asked me to do, but Father was really picky when it comes to partnerships.”Nicole raised a brow, thinking whether August’s sentence was a compliment or not. Because for her, it sounded like the Sandoval Corporation wasn’t competent enough to qualify as a partner of the Remington Corporation.And it was really the case.August sat on his chair beside Daphne. “I had a conversation with Father earlier, and despite doing my best for him to agree with my proposal, I couldn’t convince him.”“You’re just incompetent,” Samantha scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Don’t talk nonsense and make excuses for your failures,” she added, causing the place to be silent.Daphne, who was sittin

MEANWHILE, at the Wellington mansion, Wesley hurled his phone against the wall in a fit of fury. He didn’t care if his phone would be destroyed or not; he just wanted to release the madness inside him.He had just received word from one of his people about the subsidiary acquisition, and with Jake’s pretentious innocence when he asked him about that news, his rage had yet to subside.“That despicable bastard!” Wesley snarled through gritted teeth, pertaining to Jake. His frustration was palpable in his voice. “After all we’ve done to help him, this is how he repays us? They’re never even going to reach the top five rankings if it’s not for us!”Wesley’s eyes darkened with an intensity that could burn through steel, and his knuckles whitened as he tightened

AFTER going to the hospital, August arrived at the restaurant a little late. It was a five-star hotel restaurant that he reserved earlier in his free time. He wanted to celebrate this day with Daphne, the key to why he was able to do his revenge.“I’m sorry I’m late,” said August as he sat across Daphne, who looked at him with her eyebrows raised yet with a small smile on her lips.“I thought you ditched me already,” said Daphne in a playful tone, followed by August’s laughter.“Why would I do that to a beautiful girl like you?” answered August as his smile widened. “If I do that, I’ll be the dumbest man in the world.”“Silly!” Daphne couldn’t help but laugh, too. Based on August’s actions, she could see that he was in a good mood. She prayed that August would feel the same emotions every day.“Just tell me what you like to order, or we can order everything if you want,” said August as he took the menu and scanned it.“Sorry, I can’t. I’m on a diet.,” Daphne smiled and laughed.Sudd

FROM: Fiona WalkerI got intel from one of my friends in the hospital, and the data storage room was completed. They resumed their operations last month, and Sir Francis didn’t know about it, maybe because of his preparations for his wedding with Miss Daphne.However, it was only the owner who could go inside. As far as I know, he never gave any access to anyone else except him.August’s brows furrowed after reading Fiona’s message. After he left the hospital, as he drove towards the restaurant, he asked her about the Data Storage room since he heard Francis ask about it earlier.‘I was right. There’s something fishy about that hospital,’ said August at the back of his mind as his gaze darkened, and his grip on the phone tightened. ‘Francis must be hiding something.’“If that is urgent, we can go now,” said Daphne when he noticed how August’s gaze was fixated on his phone. “I’m starting to get full, anyway.”“No, it’s fine. I’m just thinking about something,” replied August in a serio

LUCAS’ brows furrowed as he bent his body and took a peek at whatever August was looking at.“Oh, that girl?” he asked, slightly surprised, as he pointed at the woman beside Mrs. Johens. “I don’t have any idea, either. But it looks like they were best friends,” he added.August shared the same sentiment with Lucas. As Mrs. Johens’ and the woman beside her formed a heart shape using their hands, he knew that she was an important person in Mrs. Johens’ life.However, something bothered him.“Mrs. Johens told me before that she wasn’t able to make friends with anyone because of her situation before. I wonder what that was…” August trailed off, his gaze never leaving the old picture. “But I’m sure, I’ve seen this woman somewhere. I just don’t know where.”August placed his hands on his chin and lightly caressed it, carefully analyzing if his hunch were true. All he knew was that he was desperate to find any clues that would give him even a little clue on why the Wellington family would
