Chapter 151~ His answer

"I'm resigning as the CEO from now onwards and Jason will be the new CEO of the Kingsley Group," Ryan announced. Ryan Kingsley had been planning on how to step down from his position as the CEO of the Kingsley Group. Jason had not confirmed if he would take over as CEO, however, Ryan still announced it, hoping Jason was for the idea. A murmur swept over the room after Ryan announced that he would be stepping down. He looked at the shareholders’ stunned faces and asked, “Why the shocked faces? Isn’t this what you were all expecting?” Lora glanced at Ryan, confusion creeping into her. She didn’t know Ryan was going to hand over his position to Jason just like that.Why did he do that and when did he plan all this?Ryan sensed her gaze. He looked at her and gave her a small smile before he mouthed that he would explain later. Lora nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat. Deep down, she knew why he did that but she didn't want to accept it. For her, there was still hope for Ryan to

Chapter 152~ Jason's offer

Celeste’s triumphant smile froze, her eyes widening in shock as Jason’s rejection echoed around the conference room. “What do you mean you’re not interested?” She yelled, her voice a mixture of panic and anger. “This is your chance to take control of the company, Jason!”“You mean it’s your chance to gain power?” Jason asked, looking at his mother. “I know what you’re up to, Mother, but it won’t work. I’ve never been interested in the company anyway. I only tried to fight for it to please you!” The room fell silent after that. Shareholders exchanged confused glances, their earlier relief now replaced with growing concern. “That’s nonsense! I only wanted you to take over for your sake. It’s your birthright as a Kingsley! You deserve the position. Do you want Ryan to take everything away from you? He already took your father away from you… you had to grow up away from us because of him,” Celeste yelled, no longer concerned with pretending to be a kind person. Jason pushed his chair b

Chapter 153~ Divorce agreement

Ryan narrowed his eyes at Jason. He asked, “Did Celeste tell you about the kidnapping? Or you did a background check on me?”“I found out about it myself. I’m offering my help only because I don’t want the culprit to keep hurting people for her own gains,” Jason replied.“Her?” Ryan remarked, arching an eyebrow. “You know the culprit?”Jason clenched his hands into fists. He said, “Trust me, I wish I didn’t.”“Who is it?” Ryan asked although he already had an inkling.Jason’s troubled expression told him it was someone close to him. If so, was Jason really going to help him catch the culprit? Or did he want to get involved to protect the culprit?“I can’t tell you right now. I need to find proof first. Once I do and it’s proven that the culprit kidnapped you and attempted murder, I’ll lead the police to capture them myself,” Jason proclaimed.Ryan studied Jason’s face again. His brows were furrowed, his jaw tight and his fists clenched.Arching an eyebrow again, Ryan asked, “Are you su

Chapter 154~ I am your mother

Hours earlier…After leaving the Kingsley Group building, Jason called his sister, Isabella and offered to take her for brunch. When Isabella arrived at the restaurant, her face lit up. She took a seat opposite Jason and said, “This is new. Did you invite me for lunch to celebrate our win? I take it you’re now the CEO of the Kingsley Group, congratulations, bro.” Jason didn’t respond to those words. He opened a bottle of champagne and poured Isabella some into a glass before handing it to her. “How well do you know our mother, Isabella?” Jason asked. Isabella happily received the glass of champagne. After taking a sip, she replied, “I know her very well. We are like best friends. She shares most of her plans with me.” Jason narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists. He remarked, “I see.” Isabella didn’t notice Jason’s grim expression. She continued to sport a huge smile on her face as she remarked, “So, bro, what position will I have in the company? I want to be the Director of Fi

Chapter 155~ A father's guilt

It didn’t take long for the news of Celeste’s arrest to spread through the city like a forest fire. At the Williams' mansion, David looked at his wife and instructed, “Celine, pack what you can, we have to leave, now.” Celine’s eyes widened. She asked, “Why do we have to leave?”David walked to the window and peeped through the curtains, fear evident in his eyes. “The police will be here soon. We have to leave before they come. Celeste has been arrested. I know we are next.” “W-What?” Celine’s voice trembled. “So, we are screwed? Where will we go? We sold everything to acquire the Kingsley group.” David ran a hand through his hair, frustration coursing through him. He said, “We can leave the country with the cash I have right now. I can buy a house somewhere far where no one knows us.”“What about Ivy? Are we never going to see her again?” Celine asked worriedly. “Do you want to join her in jail?” David questioned. “Hurry, we need to leave now. That foolish Celeste got us into tro

Chapter 156~ Life saviour

“Ryan, I found something,” Adan said on the phone. “What did you find?” Ryan asked, his heart racing. "Who's the one who saved me?"“Well, um... let me send it to you so that you see it for yourself,” Adan replied.Adan cut the call and a few minutes later, Ryan received a text message from him.Ryan narrowed his eyes as he read the document that his friend sent to him. His heart skipped a beat when he saw Larisa’s name on the document.He had asked Adan to investigate and find out who had saved him all those years ago. From his findings, Ryan realised that Lora was the one who saved him when he was a child and a few years ago when he was kidnapped. How come Lora never mentioned this? Could it be that she had lost her memory? Ryan didn't have the answers to his questions, so he waited until Lora visited him to ask if she recalled anything about the past.However, his heart felt at ease to find out that the woman who had saved him was actually his darling wife.It seemed they were d

Chapter 157~ Brothers

“Jason?” Lora remarked, her eyes widening in shock. "You're the donor?"Jason nodded, stepping closer to the bed and answered, “Yes, I’m the donor.”Ryan glanced at Doctor Steve and the doctor chuckled, saying, “Your brother came through to have some tests a week ago and the results were ready today. His stem cells are a match for yours, Ryan and he offered to donate and help you with your treatment.” ##Flashback to a week ago.##Jason went to see Doctor Steve to have a medical test. He looked at the Doctor and said, “I’m Ryan’s brother and I’m here to check if I can donate my stem cells to him.”Doctor Steve smiled and replied, “That is so kind of you. However, I would like to know if you have any medical history. Do you also have a heart problem like your father? Even if you’re a match, you can’t donate your stem cells if you have a medical condition.” Jason shook his head, saying, “No, I don’t. I recently had a medical check-up. I’m as healthy as a horse.”“Then we can have the te

Chapter 158~ Getting along

"Wanna bet?" Jason asked, a playful smirk on his lips. "If I win, you will have to give me your favorite sports car." "What? No way... I don't give away my babies," Ryan replied. "I'll have to win then... I'm sorry, little bro, I was going to go easy on you but not anymore.""Little bro? I'm a thirty-year-old man," Jason remarked. "Can you not call me that?""To me, you're my little bro," Ryan replied and chuckled. "I'm your big brother and I'll call you whatever I want."Jason rolled his eyes and said, "Show off. Is being the first born something to brag about?""Of course, it means I'm the boss," Ryan replied. The ward was filled with a lively atmosphere as Ryan and Jason bantered. Lora watched them with a small smile on her face. Were they always so childish?“I never thought we would one day chat and laugh like this,” Ryan said after a little while, glancing at Jason before looking at his wife. “In a way, Lora brought us together.” Jason smiled and replied, “I never thought we

Chapter 159~ Support system

Ryan was waiting for the Doctor in his ward when he heard someone knock on the glass. He turned to look and what he saw made his eyes widen in shock. “What’s going on??” He mouthed since he couldn’t be heard from outside. From outside, Adan Nicholson lowered the whiteboard he was holding and waved at him. Ryan was still trying to understand what was happening when Jason opened the door to the ward and walked in. His freshly shaved head gleamed under the lights. Behind him, Charles, Miles and Adan stepped into the ward, all sporting matching shiny scalps. It couldn’t be helped. Ryan glanced at the four men and broke into a laugh. “Are you guys crazy? You look so funny… why did you shave off your hair?” He asked. Adan chuckled. He put the whiteboard away and answered, “As your support system, we decided to cut off all our hair until yours grows back.”“But I still have my hair,” Ryan remarked. Charles sighed and said, “It will fall off at some point. And instead of waiting for it

Chapter 160~ A combo

“I can’t believe I can finally go out in the open,” Ryan said as he and Lora walked out of the hospital. He looked at Lora and pulled her closer by the waist, “It feels surreal to hold you like this. I missed you, baby.”Lora blushed, realising Ryan’s hand couldn’t wrap around her waist perfectly because her baby bump had grown in the last few weeks. Ryan had to stay longer in the hospital due to a certain complication. However, he still got better with time and after weeks of isolation and tiring treatments, he was finally allowed to go home. His scalp was no longer shiny and sported very short hair that was beginning to grow back. Although he had lost weight, he looked better rather than the pale look he had the past weeks. “I missed you more, Ryan. I’m so happy you’re better now,” Lora remarked. She looked up at him and smiled, saying, “See, I told you you would get better.”“I’m sad I never got to be there for you throughout the first trimester. But, now that I’m out, I won’t mi
