Chapter 198: August's Disappearance

FRANCIS was suddenly intrigued by August’s words which surely had another meaning. Being unable to control his movement, he held onto August's collar, pulling him near.“What do you mean by that?” Francis asked in an edgy tone, his eyes narrowing as his grip on August's collar tightened. “You're planning something again, aren't you? Aren't you sick and tired of this? Why won’t you just surrender?!”His heartbeat rose, the same as the tone of his voice. Francis couldn’t explain the sudden anxiety he felt, especially staring at August whose smirk had widened while looking at his ruined, perfect demeanor.“That is why you should have sold the hospital to me in the first place,” replied August as his hand went onto Francis’ wrist, holding onto it tightly, recip

Chapter 199: Mercy To The Enemy

INSIDE their bedroom, August muttered a curse as he threw the phone on the other side, while he lay down on the other. He didn’t know where he still got the energy to talk with Sapphire despite what he had discovered just now.“Crap,” said August as his hand traveled on top of his chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat. “It doesn’t stop,” he added as he realized that he had that kind of heartbeat for a while now.‘It was… horrible,’ August commented as what he had seen earlier was infuriating yet pitiful at the same time.As August closed his eyes, his mind suddenly went back to what happened earlier. After he met with Francis, August didn’t go to the Remington mansion, but to the Sandoval mansion instead.Leer más

Chapter 200: Backup Plan

DAPHNE and Francis were standing across each other, and Francis’ hand was gripping tightly onto his wife’s wrist. Suddenly, August’s gaze darkened as he forgot the main agenda of why he went to the gate—To follow Bruce.Without having a second thought, August approached the two of them. He suddenly held Francis’ wrist and removed his hand which was holding Daphne earlier.“A-August!” Daphne exclaimed. The annoyance and frustration in her eyes earlier were now converted into confusion as she stared at August.August didn’t respond. His stares went down instead. August clenched his jaw when he noticed the redness on Daphne’s wrist, and although he knew that he should control his emotions even up to this point, he couldn’t do it now.In a swift motion, August gripped Francis’ collar. He took a step ahead and pulled Francis toward him simultaneously.“What did you do to my wife?” August asked, his voice full of intimidation and authority.However, Francis didn’t even flinch. He even enjoy

Chapter 201: Make Him Shut Up

FIONA WALKER was in her deep slumber when suddenly, her phone rang. She was not about to answer it, thinking that it might be some prank call that those little kids love to pull up, especially in the middle of the night. “Damn those kids… So noisy!” Fiona exclaimed, complaining in her mind, as she took her phone from the side table. However, a light curse escaped her lips as she saw who the caller was. It was her boss, August. She immediately clicked the green button and turned the loudspeaker on. “Hello, Sir August?” Fiona asked. A hint of curiosity and hesitation was evident in her tone. “Fiona,” August muttered, making Fiona more attentive than before. “You told me before that you’re going to help me… Can I seek your help now?” She sat on the bed properly before she answered, “Of course, Sir August. You have my word.” “Alright. I need you to do something for me,” August commanded, and Fiona nodded although August couldn’t see him. August’s tone was low and gentle as he gave h

Chapter 202: Remove The Barricade

AFTER they had finished eating, everyone left to do their business. Bruce and Samantha went off to work, too, and Daphne and August did the same thing as they also went outside the mansion.Meanwhile, Jake went to his office as he pondered his thoughts, and regretted some of his decisions in life. With his desperation to be free from the Wellington family’s grasp, he tried to switch ships with the Remington family, causing his family to float amidst the two families.‘Damn… I need to make sure he wouldn’t speak, but I must turn the tables around,’ Jake thought as he stared at his door.Suddenly, someone knocked thrice before it opened, revealing a person he didn’t expect to see for today.“Father,” August greeted with a smile on his lips. It even widened as soon as he saw the confusion on Jake’s face. “May I come in?”Jake was taken aback for a moment, but after a few seconds, he was able to regain his composure.“Sure, go ahead,” Jake replied as he stood up.August sat on the couch n

Chapter 203: I'm Cunning, Too

“BECAUSE deep inside, you wanted to be free from anyone else’s grip,” August replied, snapping Jake out of his thoughts. “And you know what, Father?” August stood up and walked in front of Jake. He only stopped when they already had a narrow distance between the two of them. “No one would be successful in their businesses if they didn’t take the risk,” August muttered as he tapped Jake gently on the shoulder. August glanced at the wall clock and noticed that it was already a few minutes since he left Daphne outside. He shook his head as he realized that Daphne might have been waiting for him. “I need to go now, Father. Daphne must be waiting for me,” were the last words August said before he left Jake’s office. As he went into the garden, there was only one thing running into his mind. To be able to execute his backup plan perfectly, he needed to accomplish another thing— Remove the barricades that would hinder his plan from executing continuously. “Sandoval family, done,” said A

Chapter 204: You Know Him Personally, Don't You?

COMPARING the life he has right now to the life he had when he was a commoner, never once he thought that he would be as cunning as his oppressors to exact the revenge he wanted. For him to inflict pain on people who had hurt him, he needed to kill his old self and act in the same way as them.“I am serious,” Sapphire told him, thinking that August was taking the partnership way too lightly, and underestimating Harvey more than he shouldn’t. “You don’t have any idea how ambitious-driven Harvey is. He can use this partnership you’re offering solely to his advantage.”August clicked his tongue as he stared at the document given by Sapphire. A smile formed on his lips afterward. “Maybe. Maybe not,” he said, imposing curiosity on his secretary.Leer más

Chapter 205: The Reason For Vengeance

A FEW years ago, Sapphire wasn't involved with the Remington family. Working as a killer at an organization in the country, she was accustomed to blood and violence.Killing is like her daily routine—Her boss would send her the information about the person she would kill in exchange for money.More kills, more money.Sapphire’s life rotated in that kind—Depending on her life on no other else but money as she lived alone in this life. She didn’t have any parents or friends she could run to when things get worse as anyone does. At a young age, the world had already slapped her with the reality that she won’t do anything to survive, she’ll die cruelly.At a young age, she al

Chapter 206: Ignorance

'THE history repeated itself, not on me this time, but on the other people who had the same problem as me. We can’t protect ourselves from the influential people who always take advantage of us. I don’t know what to say, nor do…’As Sapphire finished reminiscing about her horrible past with Francis and Gregory, she didn’t notice the tears soaking her cheeks, and her fists clenched tightly with her eyes glistening. Even if it happened years ago, her heart was still in pain… like everything just happened yesterday.“Sapphire…” August called her in a low and gentle tone. “It’s alright if you don’t want to tell me anything, and I’m sorry if my question hurts you. I didn’t mean to do it.”After August threw that question to Sapphire, the latter didn’t respond. As her gaze fixated on the wall and wandered onto her thoughts, August couldn’t regain Sapphire’s attention no matter how many times he called her name.With that, even Sapphire didn’t utter a word at him, he knew that Sapphire’s exp

Chapter 207: Backfire

“I CANNOT help but remember your older brother every time we are tied in a circumstance like this,” said Wesley.His words were low yet they placed an immense intensity onto Francis’ soul. “I wish he had never died that early. Everything might be in a different situation if that didn’t happen,” he added with a grimace, clenching his fists, containing all the emotions inside him.“D-Dad—What do you mean?” Francis asked, blinking his eyes twice. “Are you telling me indirectly that everything is in chaos because of me? That… I am the reason why things turned out this way?”Francis’ voice was laced with mixed curiosity and pain, like his eyes. He stared at Wesley for a long time, not flinchi
