Ethan wiped his hands with a warm towel. "I've said it before, Mr. Jent. In front of Madelyn, I'll address you as my father-in-law. We're family, after all. What I'm doing is for your own good. The Azure Corporation becoming part of the Arnold Corporation will be a win-win situation for both of us, after all."Currently, Azure Corporation has an annual profit of around 50 million. Under Arnold Corporation, its estimated annual revenue would be at least three billion. Three billion is a minor sum for Arnold Corporation, hardly worth mentioning. Moreover, Arnold Corporation will not interfere with Azure Corporation's decision-making unless necessary. Mr. Jent, you'll still hold the same position, but the role of CEO will be replaced by someone else."Hayson's temples pulsed with veins, anger flaring in his eyes. However, he still maintained a calm facade with a smile. "Mr. Arnold, the company's performance under Zach's leadership over these years has been evident to all the employees.
Men could not stand it when their women cheated on them.Zach followed Hayson as they exited the private room. "I plan to choose a day to publicly announce your identity. You've been by my side for so long. It's time to announce your membership in the Jent family to the public and put an end to all the gossip. It'll also help Ethan to let his guard down against you.""Okay," Zach replied with a hint of coldness in his eyes."What use are you when you can't even handle such a small matter? All I asked was for you to drink, and you put on a sour face in front of everyone. You're here to make money, not to sulk for attention. If it weren't for your remaining charm, do you really think you'd even be able to stay in Supreme World?" At the end of the hallway by the elevator, the overweight manager was berating a waitress loudly.The manager pointed at Cecilia's forehead. Her eyes filled with stubbornness, but she remained silent. Her back was still straight as she endured the scolding. A
"The child's condition is quite dire at the moment. If we continue to delay, there might be a risk to his health. You haven't settled the outstanding fees before, and the hospital has a policy against providing further medication to the child."Ethan suspected it was another scheme from Donna, so he spoke in an icy tone, "You've got the wrong number. I'm not the child's father." With that, he hung up the phone expressionlessly.Leyton, who had heard the conversation, remained silent. 'It seemed that Robin's illness led to his hospitalization, and Ms. Jolie, who had no money, abandoned the child at the hospital. This sounds exactly like something she would do.'However, no matter what, the child is innocent. If we neglect the situation, something might happen. What Mrs. Arnold Sr. cares most about is the offspring of the Arnold family. If it weren't for Ms. Jent's inability to conceive, there wouldn't have been any opportunity for Ms. Jolie either.'Originally, Ethan was heading to
Donna and Ethan sat in the car.Donna had always been defiant. In the past, she never backed down even when the two had argued and given each other the silent treatment.Ethan had always been the first to back down.In fact, Ethan wavered when Donna knelt down.Donna stubbornly looked out the window."My parents' wellbeing is none of your business. Mr. Arnold, you're already engaged, so you better not let your fiancee hear of this. We should keep our distance."Ethan looked straight ahead and focused on the road, "Remind me who shamelessly declared at the Arnold residence that she was going to be Mrs. Arnold again? You don't need to put on an act in front of me."Donna gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I'd go to the Arnold residence and face your grandma's judgment if it weren't for Robin? Besides, it's not like you ever cared about our son in the past, so you don't need to start now. Anyway, just drop us off by the road. I'll go home on my own after this."Ethan's gaze
'But why should he? He's my child. I gave birth to him. Why should I let her benefit from him? I won't let them get their way, even if it costs me my life,' thought Donna.One of the nurses in the hallway heard Donna's heart-wrenching cries and thought, 'How bone-chilling. She might be a lunatic. If she weren't someone Mr. Arnold had brought over, we would've called the cops.'Meanwhile, Evelyn immediately took a cab to the hospital after she learned something had happened to Robin.Robin initially had a cold and a fever. After that, he was suddenly diagnosed with leukemia. Fortunately, he got an early diagnosis. The hospital immediately began searching for a matching bone marrow donor.Ethan's bone marrow matched with Robin's; bone marrow from a blood relative typically had a higher success rate for transplantations.Ethan did not refuse the transplantation and agreed to the procedure that very night.The two were wheeled into the operating theater together.Meanwhile, Donna ca
The procedure took four hours. By the following day, the two's conditions had already stabilized.By the time Ethan woke up, it was already bright out.Leyton stood by his bed and informed him of Robin's condition."The kid's out of the woods now. He got an early diagnosis and will recover in three months post-transplant. There's no need to worry, Mr. Arnold."Ethan fell into deep thought.'Three months... That's when Madelyn comes back.'Ethan coughed. When Leyton saw Ethan about to get off the bed, he immediately stopped him.He said, "You can't get off the bed yet, Mr. Arnold. You'll need 10 days to recover.""Madelyn... She... Did she call?" At the thought of Madelyn, he felt the eagerness to see her and also the fear of not knowing how to explain the situation to her. The matter about the child was like a ticking time bomb.Leyton pursed his lips and hesitated before speaking, "Ms. Jent did call an hour before you came out of surgery. I explained that you've been handling
Five days later, two men and two women gathered to play cards at Supreme World.Zach sat opposite Kai, and the two played against each other. The pile of chips in front of Zach grew bigger and bigger, all of which he had won from Kai."You don't seem angry after Ethan kicked you out of Azure Corporation. In fact, how come you even seem happy?"Zach did not reply.On the other hand, Kai kept on losing one round after another. He had already lost tens of thousands of dollars to Zach and was losing interest in the game.He felt irritated and wanted to smoke. However, Zach could not stand the smell of cigarettes, so Kai only chewed on his cigarette.'How odd. I've never once won against him whenever we play each other,' he thought.Just then, an attendant outside opened the door.Wincy looked at the various women in the room. Then, she turned to the scantily clad woman practically pressed against Kai and said with slight displeasure, "Why are you looking for me?"Kai smiled and ha
Kai was no longer in the mood. He walked over to the couch and sat down as the two hostesses followed him and moved into his arms.Wincy turned around and stormed over. Then, she threw her Chanel bag at Kai, which he blocked with his hand."Enough of your tantrums," he said with slight anger.'Who's he to be mad at me?' thought Wincy.She retorted, "You called me over just to embarrass me and use me as a toy for your amusement?"Kai crossed his legs and pulled one of the hostesses closer, "Amusement? Not at all. Ms. Burton, you must be well aware that we're all adults here. It's just fun and games. Some things are not meant to be taken seriously.""You're saying all this because you don't want to take responsibility for what happened. You know that was my..." Wincy was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.Meanwhile, Kai was not bothered at all."Your what? Your first time? So what if I knew? I've taken so many women's first time; am I supposed to take responsibility for ever
