The greatest son: Zane strikes back Stop your brother now
Learning from Mr. Briggs's mistake earlier, Mr. Taylor approached Mr. Alfred, and then he slightly bowed, saying, “Thank you for honoring our humble family by attending our little celebration.”Not looking at Mr. Taylor, Mr. Alfred darted his eyes around the room, and when his gaze rested on Zane, they both locked eyes for a split second, and then he eyed Mr. Taylor nodding stiffly.“Oh, mine... He's even colder to Mr. Taylor then he was to Mr. Briggs...” A gentleman whispered in shock, staring in disbelief at his friend.“I heard that Vex Co. is also NewEra Co. partner on the fifty million dollars project... But Mr. Alfred is treating both men like strangers, which could mean trouble...” another female guest added quietly.Hearing the whispers of people around them, Deborah felt enraged inside, but instead of voicing her anger, she kept quiet and pinched the hem of her husband's coat, whispering, “Mr. Alfred seems hostile to us… What should we do?”“We know that the old man is very
The greatest son: Zane strikes back One wish
At first, Mr. Briggs was scowling at Zane, but then he subconsciously looked to his right and saw Mr. Alfred glaring at him in disgust, and immediately, he threw Mr. Taylor a cold look and lashed out, “How can you have such a heartless granddaughter... I can't believe you guys raised her to be... Like this!” “What is happening?” Madam Taylor cried, hearing the whispers of criticism against Ava. ‘This bastard is trying to save face in front of Mr. Alfred and throw us under the bus...’ Mr. Taylor thought, glaring daggers at Damion. “So it was Ava who caused her cousin to have an allergic reaction on her wedding day? Why would she do something so evil?“ The chairwoman of the GLOWOMAN cosmetic enterprise mumbled right behind Ava. “Wow. Karma must be a good bitch... Because Ava ruined her cousin on her wedding day, and now, the truth about her dirty deed is being exposed at her wedding reception...” The CEO of JAXA stated sarcastically as he relaxed in his seat. Frowning at Ava’s back
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Is he mad
Looking back at her husband, Deborah looked pissed and confused that he would yell at her like that, especially amid all these other people.Even though she was embarrassed, she didn't want to back down, she glared at Emma and then said, “I always thought you were a nice girl... After the Taylors adopted you and gave you a home, treating you like you were one of them. You did this to the hands that feed you... you bite it?!” Seeing that kind of look of confusion on Emma's face, like she was staring at someone stupid, enraged Deborah and she sneered, “How could you encourage Zane to ruin your cousin's wedding? You could have advised him to do this privately for your family's sake, and yet, you went along with his plans to humiliate your family, and make us lose like a fifty-million dollars project that could have benefited all of us!!!”“When did this become Zane's or my fault? I don't see you yelling at your daughter-in-law for her trying to kill me.” Emma said calmly, her brows furr
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Someone Important
When Zane approached the kitchen the next morning, the aroma of food immediately caught his attention, and his brow squashed together as he stopped at the doorway, seeing Emma with her earbud plugged into her ears as she stood at the stove, humming while she stirred something in a pot. And quietly, he just stood there, enjoying the sight before him, her little happy dance, soft voice, and the smell of her food that lingered around her.After some time of observing this new side of Emma, he felt like he had been standing there for hours before she finally noticed him, and as soon as she did, she went into shock for a moment, nearly dropping the spoon in her hand and then took out her earbuds. For a while, she didn't say anything though, merely smiling at him because they had not talked about yesterday since she was afraid to ask if he was mad at her, and he too didn't address his feelings with her and allow an awkward silence to last them the night.“Good Morning,” Emma said in a sma
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Man enough
Not a single doubt was in Zane's mind that he wanted to introduce Mr. Alfred to Emma, and the fact that Mr. Alfred sounded excited when Zane called him earlier to tell him about him meeting her, he was super hyped about this idea. “Who are we meeting?” Emma finally gained the courage to ask again, even though he didn't answer her the first time. “You will see soon,” Zane said, dragging his attention off the road to smile at her. After driving for quite a while, Zane finally drove them to this breathtaking mountain glass house, and when he parked, she looked at the place and asked, “What are we doing here, Zane?” “I want to introduce you to the man who is my backbone and why you don’t have to worry about me,” Zane replied with a smirk before opening his car door to step out. Now she was even interested, and she pushed the door open, got out, and hugged his arm as they walked over to the front door. When Zane rang the doorbell, it took a couple of minutes, but finally an older lad
The greatest son: Zane strikes back We need to talk
As Mr. Alfred and Zane strolled down the hallway, he said nothing for a while and kept walking further down with him. “I want to establish a company,” Zane said, stopping to turn around to face him. A bit surprised, Mr. Alfred looked at him, and after a short hesitation, he replied, “You have your mother's money and wealth... You can take over any of my companies. Why would you want to start from scratch, Zane?” “Because you don't have the business that I want to establish,” Zane said, his jaw tightening at the memories of his father's words. “And that would be...” “An engineering firm,” Silence settled in the atmosphere for a while, and then Mr. Alfred took a long look at Zane and then smirked, mumbling, “You are going after your father.” “He came after me first.” Zane corrected with an annoyed huff. “I am just giving him what he wants.” Seeing how pissed Zane was when he said those words, Mr. Alfred laughed heartily, nodding his head in approval. Darting her eyes around,

Even though the news about Theo wanting a divorce had caused such chaos in the living room when Ava stepped into the room, it grew quiet, and everyone was staring at her with worried gazes. “What? Do I have something on my face?” Ava snapped, looking from face to face in irritation.“You have a guest,” Justin said.“Who?”“He’s at the doorway,” The dead silence after those words left Ava confused, but mostly she was irritated, and then she turned around and stormed out of the living room.When she got to the front door and saw lawyer Darren standing outside with the folders in his hand waiting for her, Ava narrowed her eyes at him before asking, “Are you the one waiting on me?”“Yes, Mrs. Ava Taylor Briggs. Your husband Theo Briggs had filed for a divorce and these are the papers. With your current reputation in the public eye, I will advise you to sign the papers and not make an issue of it... Otherwise, we may have to go to court and things might get even uglier.” Lawyer Darren inf
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Zane did what?!
Staring at the huge university building from his car windshield, Zane hesitated for a moment, knowing that he left Emma home without telling her where he was going since he wanted to surprise her. After unlocking his car door, he stepped out and shut it before heading to the building. When he got into the hallway, a sense of confusion washed over him as he looked around not knowing what his next step should be. “Look who it is.” A voice he very much recognized and hated echoed in Zane's ear and he turned to see Kimberly approaching him with another gentleman by her side. A sense of annoyance washed over him when she walked up to him while smirking and then she said, “Daddy, you remember Mr. Briggs bastard, right?” “Zane, my daughter once complained to me weeks back that you were rude to her.” Mr. Elrod said, glaring at Zane. “Great. You are the president of this institution...” Zane uttered, ignoring the father and daughter's words since his only focus was paying Emma's tuition

The greatest son: Zane strikes back Epilogue
~~~~~*Two years later*~~~~~The sun casts a warm glow through the large windows of Zane's office, creating a serene and inviting ambiance. For a while, Yoko sat nervously on the plush leather couch, his fingers fidgeting with the delicate box hidden in his pocket. Then he stole a glance at Zane, who was engrossed in a stack of paperwork on his desk. Summoning his courage, Yoko cleared his throat, capturing Zane's attention. Zane looked up, his eyes filled with curiosity. Yoko could feel his heartbeat quicken as he slowly withdrew the box from his pocket, holding it delicately in his trembling hands. His palms were clammy.As the pen dropped from his grip, Zane's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he observed Yoko's gesture. Then he teased, leaning back in his chair, his words dripped with playful sarcasm, the glint in his eyes betraying his amusement, "Well, well, Yoko... I knew you were a charmer, but I already have a stunning wife." Chuckling, Yoko narrowed his eyes, and he
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Does that make sense
A sense of shock washed over Zane like an icy wave as he stood frozen, unable to comprehend the scene unfolding before him. His eyes widened, fixed on the figure of Jason, whom he had believed to be dead. The turmoil within him intensified as Jason and Deborah stopped just a couple of feet away.Then Jason's eyes bore into Zane's soul, a mix of anger, anguish, and madness swirling within them. Without warning, he tossed a gun towards Zane, the metallic object spinning through the air before landing with a thud at Zane's feet. "Take it!" Jason spat. "It's yours, Zane! Your thirst for revenge has ruined all our lives! So go ahead, pick up the gun, and satisfy your anger! End her!"Looking away from the gun and at his uncle, Zane's mind raced, his heart pounding in his chest. Confusion clouded his thoughts, and he found himself unable to form a coherent response, and he just stared blankly at Jason.Frustration and desperation radiated from Jason, his face contorted with rage. "Kill th
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Drop the gun
After shutting the door, Zane's footsteps echoed through the grand hallway of the mansion. His mind was a whirlwind of emotions, thoughts crashing into each other with relentless force. All he could focus on was the heaviness in his chest, the weight of the day's events bearing down upon him.As he made his way further into the mansion, Zane's eyes darted around, avoiding the gazes of the staff who lined the corridors, silently going about their duties. Both Emma and Damon were sitting in the living room, and when she saw Zane, walking through the doorway, she woke from her seat and rushed to him.His grip tightened around her waist as he pressed a kiss to her lips, letting it linger there for several seconds before pulling back slightly. "Are you okay?" Emma asked, concerned.With a forced smile, he nodded and said, "Yes. I'm fine." The way Zane refused to meet her eyes caught Damon's attention, and he watched his son carefully, trying to figure out what was going on in his boy's

The sun crept over the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow through the curtains of the small bedroom, and Emma stirred in her sleep, her eyelashes fluttering as she slowly awoke. Rolling onto her side, she found Zane lying next to her. His eyes were open, but they were distant, lost in thoughts that refused to let him be."Zane," she whispered, her voice still heavy with sleep. She reached out and brushed her fingers across his cheek, gently coaxing him to turn his gaze toward her.With a weak smile, he turned to face her, his eyes filled with shadows, and she traced the lines on Zane's face with her fingers, trying to read his emotions. "You are hurting because of his death, aren't you?" she asked softly.Shutting his eyes, Zane let out a deep sigh, his chest rising and falling with the weight of his emotions. "I don't know, Emma," he replied, his voice barely a whisper. "Leon and I were never close, never got along. But now, knowing he's gone, there's this void that I can't exp
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Who blood is this?
With a look of madness in her eyes, satisfied that she had gotten her wish and murdered Zane, Deborah suddenly turned the gun on both men.Before they could react, she fired several shots, and they died as the bullets pierced their chests, each of them falling lifeless to the ground.Looking up at Zane, lying motionless, Deborah chuckled to herself, and then she quickly walked over to him."I hope you and your mother rot in hell." She whispered, reaching for the bag and yanked it off his head.Immediately, her hand started trembling as tears welled up in her eyes, and she picked him off the ground, resting his head on her lap, and whispered, "My beautiful baby boy...!! My child! Leon, please open your eyes! Leon, Mommy is sorry, open your eyes, please. I beg you ..." Her voice cracked as tears rolled down her cheeks."No! no, no, no!... No, Leon! Please! I need you! I love you! Wake up! Open your eyes!" She screamed hysterically, hugging Leon tight as tears streamed down her cheeks u
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Are you sure it's Zane
The hospital room was filled with silent tension as Belinda and Emma cautiously entered. Their eyes immediately fell upon Zane, who was sitting by the bed, his head resting on the mattress. Yoko, who had been keeping a watchful eye on him, glanced up at the sound of their arrival. Placing his hand to his lip, he whispered, "Shh-shh... Since we got to the hospital yesterday, he just fell asleep." But just as the words left Yoko's lips, Zane's eyes fluttered open, and he sat up, his gaze fixated on the two ladies standing before him. There was a mixture of relief and weariness in his eyes, and a faint smile crossed his lips. Unable to contain her emotions, Emma stepped forward and enveloped Zane in a tight hug, her arms wrapped around his neck. Her voice, barely a whisper, trembled with concern, "How are you hanging in?" As his weary gaze met Emma's, Zane managed a small smile. "I am just glad that this idiot is fine," he replied, his voice laced with a touch of humor, but his e

At the count of eight, the tension in the atmosphere reached its peak. Each second seemed to stretch out endlessly, as Leon sat behind the wheel, his finger itching to pull the trigger. "9!" Zane shouted, raising his hand to signal his men. "And..."But as the count reached "10!" Leon's pent-up rage exploded. In a split second, he burst out of the car, his hand gripping the gun tightly. He aimed directly at Zane's head, his eyes wild with a murderous intent.Time seemed to slow down as Yoko reacted instinctively. He leaped in front of Zane, covering his boss with his own body. The bullet tore through the air, finding its way into Yoko's arm, tearing to his skin and blood oozed out.Pain seared through Yoko's body, but he barely registered it. His sole focus was protecting Zane, even at the cost of his own life. He gritted his teeth, feeling the impact of the bullet as he absorbed the blow.In that instant, the atmosphere erupted with chaos. The crack of the gun reverberated through t
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Even if I die
In the midst of the tense silence, Zane sat at the head of a long mahogany table, his gaze steady as he surveyed the board members of NewEra as everyone waited for him to speak.Taking a deep breath, Zane began, his voice strong and his eyes bored into them one after the other, "Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you today to address the mistakes of my past and to offer my unwavering dedication to the revival of NewEra. I know that I have gone against this company countless times, but from this day forward, I promise to use my knowledge and skills to help rebuild what was once the lifeblood of this organization."His words hung in the silence, and Zane's gaze swept across the room, meeting the eyes of each board member, their expression still that of fear."I owe this to my late mother," Zane continued. "Her life was taken so this place can get built, and it is my duty, as her son, to honor her legacy and ensure that NewEra rises from the ashes."A hushed silence filled the room as
