"You probably looked into Hawkins Group's background, Mr. Ripley. We built our company by making investments. We have a team of professionals analyzing our investments." Fiona ignored Tobias' cold look. She said, "I've heard through the grapevine that you intended to collaborate with the investor, Joaquin Garcia, for the second round of funding. "He might be wealthy, but you're going to land your company in hot water if you only have one investor and something unforeseeable happens."Meanwhile, Cedric realized that it was almost time for the appointment and came over to take Tobias with him to meet Joaquin. To his surprise, he heard what Fiona said when he reached the door. His eyes flickered as a hint of gloom flashed in them. Cedric asked, "Excuse me, are you trying to say that Joaquin might withdraw his investment halfway through? As far as I know, Joaquin was famous for his fine reputation in the industry. "Are you doubting him this much because you don't trust his chara

Lucy was reading the document in the office. She found some big issues in it. The file had information on two investment projects in Amestria. Someone who went by the name Klaus withdrew his investment halfway through the project. His business partner's company couldn't operate normally and eventually went bankrupt.The file showed that there was a high possibility that Klaus was Joaquin himself.Lucy was shocked. She was about to tell Tobias about it when her phone rang."Hello. Oh, it's you, Finn. What's the matter?""Mr. Ripley had a car accident, Mrs. Ripley…""What?"Lucy was so stunned that she shot to her feet. "How did he get into a car accident? Where's he? How badly injured is he?""Relax, Mrs. Ripley. Mr. Ripley is receiving treatment at the hospital as we speak. He was just lightly injured. I'm sending you the location now."Lucy let out a sigh of relief when she heard that Tobias had merely suffered a minor injury. She drove to the hospital based on the location

Lucy had heard about the accident from Tobias and knew that the scene was probably gruesome. However, she needed to get to the bottom of it. So, she wanted to take a look at the surveillance footage.Finn pulled it up on his phone and handed it to Lucy. She was so spooked by the blood-chilling sight that her face turned pale."Dear God…""Stop looking at it, babe."Tobias stopped her from watching it when he noticed that Lucy was terrified. However, she wound back the footage and replayed it. Then, she could see that Fiona and her gang arrived at the entrance first. It seemed like they were discussing something. Not long after, Tobias and the others came to the entrance too. The surveillance camera was positioned at such an angle that Lucy could see that Fiona had noticed him. She had even waved at him, but he didn't see it.That was when the truck veered toward Tobias and sped at him. The people around him were so frightened that they ran away. Meanwhile, Tobias and Fiona wer

Joseph asked in a worried tone, "What happened to my daughter, doctor?"Tobias looked at Fiona, who lay on the bed with a pale face and felt extremely complicated. He couldn't make heads or tails of the bizarre emotion in his heart. "We saved her, but she's not out of the danger yet. We'll need to keep her in the ICU for observation," the doctor said."The patient will need some peace now. All of you can't visit her for the time being. You'll have to come back again when she's doing better."The doctor and nurses wheeled Fiona into the ICU. The group of people came outside the ward. They could watch through the glass and see that Fiona had bandages all over her body. Her foot was even in a cast, and her nose and mouth were hooked onto a respirator as well. She looked downright miserable. Tobias saw it and felt a wave of emotions washed over him. He had hated her since he was a little boy, but she had saved him at a critical moment. An unfamiliar emotion rose within his chest

Tobias waited in the car for more than 20 minutes. He was about to give Lucy a call, but she opened the car door and got inside. Tobias asked in a confused tone, "What took you so long?"Lucy smiled. "I got my stuff. Then, I have a stomachache. So, I went to the washroom."Tobias asked worryingly, "Are you feeling better now?"Lucy blushed, but it wasn't because she was embarrassed. Instead, it was because she had lied to him.Not only did he not suspect her, but he was actually concerned about her. Her face turned red out of diffidence."Yeah. It's getting late. Let's go home. I'm making you dinner tonight.""Okay."Tobias drove back home. Both of them had their own things to think about and wore a solemn look the entire drive. He stopped when the traffic light turned red. Lucy said, "Anyway, I accidentally pushed your file to the floor in the office today, darling. So, I flipped through it casually. It has details on Joaquin Garcia's investment projects. Have you read it?"

Joey was accusing Lucy, but the latter merely found it ridiculous. She knew she hadn't done anything to offend Joey, but Joey just wouldn't let it rest.Lucy glanced at Joey coldly. "Speak plainly. How am I a skank?"Joey mocked her. "You're such a slut, Lucy. You slept with another man behind Tobe's back, and the whole world has found out about it now. How do you have the guts to act all high and mighty?"At the next moment, someone slapped her hard across the face. Tobias never hit women. His patience must've been spent; otherwise, why would he slap Joey angrily?Joey's eyes widened. She covered her face and looked at Tobias incredulously. She was almost screaming when she spoke. "I can't believe you hit me, Tobe! You hit me for someone like Lucy!"Tobias said coldly, "Joey Shelton, I have severed my ties with you, and I'm no longer your son. Please stop calling me that. You're nothing but a crazy lady to me right now. It embarrasses me to hear someone like you calling me your s

Tobias vividly remembered Joey's vicious, mocking words. He had a sharp headache when he recalled them. He rubbed his eyebrows and looked distressed. All of a sudden, a loud thud could be heard as Tobias planted his fist on the wall. He struck so fiercely that the wall shook. The back of his hand even bled from it."Darling!"Lucy gasped and held Tobias, feeling very heartbroken. Her voice was choked up as she said, "I know it feels awful. Go ahead and cry if that's what you want to do. I'm here with you."Tobias turned around and held her tightly in his arms. He buried his handsome face into her neck. Tears glistened in his eyes as he wore a sorrowful expression. Tobias might've pretended to be unfazed when Joey had said those harsh words. However, only he knew knew how devastated he was. It hurt him so much that he even had trouble breathing. "They say mothers are the noblest and most selfless people in the world. The other mothers think of their sons as the best thing in th

The next day, Tobias woke up as soon as the sun came up. He had been in a foul mood after the whole thing with Joey last night. Now that he caught some sleep, he was feeling much better. Tobias looked at Lucy, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and pecked her forehead. Then, he got out of bed and got freshened up. Lucy felt the movement. When she opened her eyes, she saw Tobias walking toward the bathroom. She rolled to the side and got out of bed as well. Then, she joined him in the restroom. …Meanwhile, Joey had been admitted to the hospital last night. A lot of her body parts were wrapped up in bandages, making her look extremely miserable. Ross said, "Why are you so dumb, Joey? Why would you let things go this far with Tobias?"Joey said irritatingly, "Come on, Dad. It's the bastard's fault. He doesn't have a shred of humanity in him. If I had known this was how it would turn out, I wouldn't have shown him mercy. I would've killed him instead! As expected, he's not my
