The shareholders and the top management remained silent. They agreed with the decision. They even scolded Michael in their mind.'Michael is a bast*rd!'Someone was mad. He raised his hand as he angrily said, "We have no objection to this. It's his mess. It's not fair to use our money to help him clean up his mess!"Right after he said that, the others spoke up."I agree! What makes him think that he can use the company's assets to make up for his own mistakes?""Michael should compensate us for our loss!""Not only must he clean up the mess, but he should also compensate for our daily loss during that period!"…It could be seen that the crowd was unhappy."Mr. Anderson Sr. and Sean, I think Michael should give up his shares if he can't fix the problem completely. This is the consequence of damaging the company!" one of the shareholders said. Suddenly, there was a dead silence. Everyone looked at the man.Their eyes were filled with greed.The company's shares were way mo
The cold light in his eyes dispersed toward Michael. His eyes were filled with anger, and he looked like an angry lion that was roaring. It was because of Molly.Michael had a deep fear. The hairs on his body were standing up. But, he did not back away.Mr. Anderson Sr. felt the rage between Sean and Michael. He remained silent as he looked through the documents near Sean. He then left angrily. Sean and Michael left after that too.In the afternoon, police officers went to Michael's house. "What are you doing?!" Michael's mood was bad. He was furious when the two police officers pinned him down indiscriminately."Don't think that you can just do whatever you want just because you're the police. I'm from the Anderson family. I'm the Anderson Corporation's vice general manager. Why am I being arrested?" Michael wanted to break free. But, his arms were being pressed tightly. His eyes were filled with rage. "We are in Northfolk! How dare you touch me? Do you have some kind of dea
Michael not only kidnapped molly, but he was also guilty of some other offenses."Father, how can the Anderson family save him if he successfully committed a crime? If this spreads out, the Anderson family would be an embarrassment. Don't tell me if one of the Anderson family members commits a crime, he or she doesn't need to be punished legally. The Anderson family is not all-powerful in Northfolk."Sean's lips were filled with sarcasm.He knew his father knew about what Michael had done in the Anderson family for the past few years.It was just that Ricky turned a blind eye to Michael's wrongdoings again and again out of brotherhood.But, Sean was not like his father. He would not tolerate Michael's wrongdoings.Ricky wanted to say something. But, when he saw his son's determined eyes, he sighed. He did not say what he wanted to say initially. "You're right. But, your grandfather will definitely ask you about it.""I'll explain to grandfather."Ricky backed down when he heard
When Molly returned home after treating Sean, it was already very late and misty outside.The house was very quiet. The only sound that could be heard is the gears rotating in the mechanical clock. She felt very cold before entering the house, but the warmness filled her up as soon as she took a few steps into the house.'What?'Molly walked into the living room, and she was surprised to see Grandpa Dave sitting there.Grandpa Dave would usually be resting in his room at this time. She was a little confused. She walked to the sofa and sat down. Then, she asked out of concern, "Grandpa, why are you still up? You can't sleep?"Grandpa Dave put on a gentle smile after seeing her. "Are you done with the treatment? Are you tired?"Grandpa Dave felt a twinge in his heart as he looked at Molly."I'm good. Don't worry. I just can't fall asleep. I probably had too much for dinner just now," Grandpa Dave said softly. He took Molly's hand and put it on top of his chunky hand before p
Grandpa Dave raised his hand and softly patted the back of Molly's hand again. He sounded earnest as he told Molly with a smile, "Time flies like an arrow. The journey of life is very long, and you'll meet a lot of people. Some of them are not going to stay in your life, but some of them could be very important to you and those are the ones that you have to treasure."Don't miss out on any opportunity in your life and regret it in the future. There's no turning back once it's over…" Grandpa Dave said softly, but the empty living room suddenly felt lonesome. The atmosphere became tense before Molly and Grandpa Dave knew it.However, some things never change, but people do.Grandpa Dave started to feel sleepy. Molly watched him go back to his room after chatting with him for a while. Then, she went to the backyard alone, and she sat there for a very long time.Her surrounding was silent, but her mind was so noisy, that it felt like a bustling city in the daytime. The next morni
"Come over now." That was all Mr. Anderson Sr. before hanging up.He was still haunted by the time Mr. Anderson Sr. went off in the Anderson Residence.He made his way to the Anderson Residence immediately without hesitating.On his way there, Michael could feel his heart constantly pounding like a drum. He felt very uneasy."How could you do things like that and even got yourself locked up?! You're such an embarrassment to our family!"You were given the authority to run the company, yet you messed it up anyway! Just tell me what you're actually capable of!" Mr. Anderson Sr. told him to go to the study room before scolding him.'He's my biological son, after all. Why isn't he like me at all?'Michael stood at the side with his head down. He did not dare to say anything as fear flooded through his being.Mr. Anderson Sr. glared at him and angrily said, "I know what you're up to. You better behave yourself now that you're out. Stop planning on doing anything bad. I'm not going t
Queenie's head was filled with confused thoughts.Suddenly, she realized something.'No way!'I can't let anyone know that I acted like nothing happened after I found out that Molly was getting kidnapped!'It's not going to turn out well!'Queenie was worried that everybody else would criticize her. Even though Molly was fine, she was afraid that she would be looked at differently. She would have it even worse if something bad had really happened to Molly.Queenie put all those thoughts behind her and erased them. She warned herself to forget about them completely. Benjamin got excited when he saw Molly coming back. He went to her and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling better now?"Molly stared at Queenie for a few seconds. She stopped looking at her after not noticing anything strange. Then, she answered Benjamin, "I'm fine now. Don't worry."Benjamin checked Molly out from head to toe, looking serious. He was only relieved after seeing that there was nothing wrong with
Every single word that Molly said punched him right in his guts.He looked very devastated as he held his fists tightly. He looked at Molly, and he could never imagine doing the same thing to her.He had no idea how she could have the heart to do that.Benjamin took a deep breath and softly said while holding back his pain, "Okay. I understand now, but I'm not going to give up."He was so stubborn and willful. Molly looked and him and helplessly said, "I just don't want you to waste any more time on me."She could not accept Benjamin's deep affection for her, nor could she be responsible for it.After saying that, Molly took a step to the side and left.She rested for a while in the pantry after having her lunch. She sat there until two in the afternoon, the time when she was supposed to return to the lab.Then, she stood up and went back to work.Unlike usual, Molly would try to avoid interacting with Benjamin after what happened.They almost did not talk to each other at
