Chapter 81~ A grandchild

SOPHIA. A week later… I pushed Lucas’ wheelchair into his father’s ward. Doctor Devon had just given us the news that he had woken up from his coma. It took a few more days than we had expected, but luckily, the treatment had worked. Lucas asked to see him immediately, and since his left leg and right arm still had a cast, he could only move around in a wheelchair. “Dad,” Lucas said the moment we approached the bed. “How are you feeling?” I smiled at the old man on the bed. He looked like he had aged a few more years. A sigh escaped his lips. “If you didn’t tell me the cause of your mother’s death, I wouldn’t have collapsed, and no one would have known I was being drugged. Doctor Devon just told me what was found in my system.” “Do you have any idea who could have done this?” Lucas asked. “I don’t… everyone at home is trustworthy, and I don’t think they can do such a thing. It’s probably someone who’s not on my payroll.”“Dad, how can you be so sure? Even those on your payrol

Chapter 82~ A grandchild pt. 2

LUCAS. My brows creased. “Dad, you actually didn’t need to do this. I’m perfectly healthy…”“Nonsense! Of course, you needed it! How did you think I got your mother pregnant when I was in my forties?” Dad said. He looked around before leaning forward and whispering. “This tea is your great-great-grandfather’s recipe. Whenever the men from the Hart family take this tea, it takes just one shot to impregnate someone.” He dug into his pocket and took out a sachet like someone who was trying to get someone to join them in smoking some illegal stuff. “Here, I’ll give you some. Make tea every morning, during lunch and after dinner. I promise you, this place will be full of little Lucas and Sophias.”A wave of heat rushed through me, and I clenched my fists to make myself sober. “Are you kidding me? I’m the company’s CEO. Do you want me to stay home all day and make babies?”Dad had a mischievous look in his eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re that boring, son. You can visit your wife and do it in

Chapter 83~ A grandchild pt. 3

SOPHIA. My waist and back were in pain after riding Lucas the whole night. To avoid Steven, we stayed in bed the whole day after asking Sarah to bring breakfast and lunch to our room. Lucas had still not recovered, so I couldn’t go to the company yet. However, it seemed there was no chance for us to rest with the old man being mischievous with his crazy ideas. We couldn't send him back to the Hart mansion either, since his life was in danger. After spending the whole day sleeping and watching movies, the old man came to call us down for dinner personally. So we had no choice but to leave our bedroom and go down to join him for dinner.“So, how was your night?” He asked, glancing at us with a mischievous grin on his face.Lucas cleared his throat. “Thanks to you, Dad. We had a rough night.”Steven’s eyebrows hiked. “A rough night, huh?”He nodded his head too many times, his grin reaching his ears. “That is wonderful news!” He exclaimed, hitting the table with his palm. “I will be

Chapter 84~ A meeting

SOPHIA.“Good morning, Chairwoman. My name is Emily Green, and I’ll be your personal assistant from now on,” a young woman who seemed to be in her early twenties said the moment I stepped out of the car. It had been three weeks since the accident, and I finally reported for work after ensuring Lucas was almost fully healed. The cast on his arm was removed, but the one on his leg was still there. His leg needed more time to heal because he had broken the bone entirely, unlike the crack in his arm, which had healed after a few weeks. I breathed in the early morning air, glancing at the tall building before me. I had wasted so much time away from the company. Instead of taking care of my family’s business, I let Elias do whatever he liked with it in the name of love. It was foolish of me. Now that I was taking over running the business, every corrupt person will be fished out and sent to jail. Dad, Mom, I won’t let you down. Looking at the lady with brown skin, dark hair and brown

Chapter 85~ The boss

CARLA. When I heard the board members had called for an emergency meeting, I already knew it couldn’t be anything good. Since Sophia announced that she was the chairwoman of the Adams Group, Elias had stormed into my office to harass me almost every day. He wanted me to hand over my position to him so that he could easily take over the chairman position. Luckily, I wasn’t one he could easily bully. He couldn’t strip me of my position without proper procedure. So, I stood up to him and continued working on the plan to open a subsidiary investment company.I was shocked when he claimed I should take responsibility for the missing hundred million dollars. I had been investigating where such a large sum of money had gone when I noticed the discrepancies in the financial statement. It was only this morning that I found out the truth. Elias bribed someone from the finance department and embezzled the funds as if the company belonged to him. A sigh escaped my lips as I sat in the confere

Chapter 86~ Dragged out

CARLA.Daniel and a few other shareholders laughed at Sophia’s order. “Young lady, let me give you a piece of advice. You just showed up at the company for the first time since your father died. I don’t think you should start trying to showcase your power right now. Mr Hart has been in and out of this building so many times. No security team will disrespect him like that. Perhaps, they might even throw you out instead of him,” Daniel’s words came. “Are you saying the chairwoman has no say in her own company?” I questioned, anger flaring through me. These people were so shameless! Just because we were women, they thought we were an easy target to bully. Elias scoffed. “After spending so much time away from the company, her words hold no weight here. Sophia, stop embarrassing yourself and go home.” “The only one going home here is you, Elias,” Sophia responded coldly. I was impressed with how composed she was. Her face was unreadable, and she was exuding an air of confidence that s

Chapter 87~ A congratulatory gift

SOPHIA. “What if we sign an alliance with Savvy-Tech? Will that make investors trust us?” The folds between my eyebrows creased as I glanced at Carla in confusion. Why did she sound like we had already secured an alliance with Savvy-Tech? They had been unresponsive so far. I was even planning on choosing another tech company to partner with. As expected, Daniel scoffed at Carla’s words. “Yeah, right. Even Elias, the heir of the Hart group, couldn’t manage to get through to Savvy-Tech. How can you do it?” He mocked. “It doesn’t matter if you get rid of Elias Hart or not. Today, we will have to appoint another CEO. I won’t believe that you two managed to contact Savvy-Tech, let alone make them sign a contract with the company.”I internally rolled my eyes. Anyone could tell what Daniel’s agenda was. He was eying the CEO position. Poor Elias didn’t even know that he was being used. Once he was out of the picture, his so-called backer didn’t even care. To each his own, after all. S
