However, Kenneth just stood over there indifferently like a passerby.
Darrell said the most hurtful thing with his angelic face,
“Hunter, you’re like your mother. You shouldn’t exist in this world. One day, I will steal everything from you because they are supposed to be mine.”
Hunter’s driver rushed over from afar to carry Hunter, who was covered in cream, away.
The car was slowly driven away.
Hunter saw his supposed father wiping the cream off Darrell’s fingers so carefully, as though Darrell was someone precious.
Hunter didn’t know what he had done wrong, why Kenneth wouldn’t acknowledge him as his son, and why he hated him so much.
That night, Kenneth didn’t return home to celebrate Hunter’s birthday.
Thinking that he could at least see his mother, Hunter cheered himself up.
Yet, before he could make a wish to blow the candles out, his emotionally unstable mother suddenly carried him and ran to the balcony.
She jumped off from the balcony, and Hunter gazed at the starry sky.
Hunter recalled Darrell’s face when Kenneth let him ride on his shoulders.
Darrell told Hunter that he was going to steal everything from him, and Hunter wondered if Darrell need not do so if he was dead.
That little boy’s face matched with the man, who was clad in a white suit. Despite his smooth and sleek clothing, he was using the most disgusting method possible.
Darrell bought off the senior management and shareholders one by one like a poisonous insect.
Everything that Kenneth gave him couldn’t satisfy him.
Kenneth had built up another company, which showed good development abroad. But its achievement couldn’t be compared to Williams Group, which carried histories since over a century ago.
It wasn’t that Darrell’s family didn’t try to butter Hunter’s grandparents up these years. They actually wanted to return to the family.
However, Hunter’s grandfather didn’t give in. “I don’t have a son like you, and that’s final. Hunter will inherit all of the assets.”
Hunter had caught on to the fact that Darrell was plotting something behind the scenes. But Darrell covered his tracks well enough to make it difficult for Hunter to collect evidence.
This time, Darrell catastrophized Madison’s incident, intending to gain something good out of this. That was why he showed up.
Brazenly, Darrell seated himself in the main seat as though he was the true owner of Williams Group.
“It’s been a while, Hunter.” Darrell was wearing a dazzling smile like he always did when he was young, yet he could do the cruelest thing possible.
“Call the security guards to take out whoever is unrelated here,” ordered Hunter. He showed no intention to continue the courtesy.
Darrell assumed that his plan was so perfect that it had caught Hunter off-guard, hence the triumphant smile. “Sorry, Hunter, but I’m attending this occasion as a shareholder.”
Hunter crossed his arms, looking at Darrell disdainfully. “So you do know that you’re a shareholder and not the chairman. “I thought you’ve lost a screw in your head after not having seen each other for so long.”
While the discord between the two men was going on, the others had already split into two groups, standing with the person they supported.
It was as if they had discussed doing so beforehand. The voting hadn’t even started yet!
Although Darrell was an illegitimate child, Kenneth showered him all of his love. After Kenneth divorced Hunter’s mother, Darrell officially held the title of Mr. Williams.
Still, Hunter’s grandfather wouldn’t acknowledge Darrell as his grandson. He didn’t even want to acknowledge Kenneth! Hunter’s grandfather went as far as removing Kenneth’s name from the family tree!
Since it was the Williamss’ family matter, it wasn’t something everyone could intervene in.
But now, the future of the company was depending on it.
Everyone stepped away from the duo, who were fighting for the right to be the president of Williams Group, not wanting to get into trouble.
No one expected Hunter’s public display of affection would cause this.
The top company was cornered by competitors and suffering from internal conflict at the same time.
Everyone thought that they would be able to witness something unprecedented with their own eyes.
Considering that it was a fight for the throne between the two sons, the others were sensible enough to keep their mouths shut. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
It was a duel between two great men! They wouldn’t want to get into trouble by joining the fray.
Now that Hunter was driving Darrell out of the room, Darrell said calmly, “It’ll be my place soon. I just wanna know what it feels like to sit here beforehand. Do you have an opinion about it, Hunter?”
Despite his gentle demeanor, his formidable aura didn’t lose one bit.
“It’s either you get out of here yourself, or I’ll help you with it. Which one do you choose?” Hunter gave Cyril a look.
Cyril cracked his knuckles intimidatingly.
Darrell read the room and stood up. “Fine. It’s nothing to rush anyways.”
He then sat on Hunter’s right, and Hunter frowned. It seemed like Hunter didn’t like the close distance between them.
The others took their seats. An untrammeled Darrell played with the water bottle in front of him.
He lowered his voice. “Hunter, I dare to sit here because I can guess what your trump card is. But you might not know what’s mine.”
Hunter was uneasy for a second upon hearing that, wondering if there was a variable to the situation.
Darrell continued, “Your trump card is the shares Grandpa gave you. But Hunter, you’re foolish for transferring them to others to maintain the deceptive peace within the company.
“People change their minds very easily. Do you think that things will go according to your expectations?”
“It looks like you’re confident that it’ll be your win.”
“Hunter, do you still remember what I said when I was young? I said I will steal everything from you. I’ve poured so much effort into this.
“Why are you the successor of the Williams Group when no one likes you? That should be me.
“Grandpa is stubborn as a bull. Since he didn’t want to give it to me, I might as well steal it myself. You think that you own 45 percent of the company shares, don’t you?”
Hunter was taken aback at how unexpected Darrell was.
“It looks like I guessed it right. I know that you were aware of me buying the company share in secret. And you were relying on Grandpa’s confidant. I can tell you that you’ve lost this game.”
Hunter’s gaze landed on one of the people. That person’s gaze was wavering as he was embarrassed. “I’m sorry, Mr. Williams. I have my reasons…”
“Jeez, let this younger brother of yours teach you a lesson, Hunter. About why the trick is always the opted method in situations like this.” Darrell grinned as though he was confident that he would win.
“Let’s start the voting.”
Right then, the door was opened. Standing by the door, Madison looked at Hunter. “I’m not late, am I?”
Madison appeared different from usual. She was wearing light makeup and tied her hair up.
Her blue gemstone earrings matched her teal wool sweater.
She was dressed up and was the epitome of grace and sophistication.
She entered the meeting room in high heels. Although she didn’t appear as posh as she did during the award ceremony, she looked gentle.
Not even the celebrities could overthrow her when it came to looks. Her aura was one of a kind too.
Even Darrell was put in a trance. It was his first time seeing her in person.
The air Madison brought was that of a goddess whom no one could approach. It was his first time describing a woman as a goddess.
Hunter stood up to welcome her personally. He reached out his hand to her. “Why didn’t you inform me before coming?”
Naturally, she placed her hand on his. Their wedding rings came to the same picture.
Compared to the uneasiness when she first regained consciousness, she no longer found his presence repulsive.
They were like a new couple who had been seeing each other for two weeks. Although they hadn’t reached the infatuation stage, they were getting along well.
Madison smiled gently. “I heard that you’re in trouble, so I came.”
“It’s nothing. I can handle it.” Hunter pulled her to his seat, motioning for her to sit.
She stayed quiet.
Darrell, who finally pulled himself together, exclaimed, “I’m impressed by how strong your mentality is, Hunter. You’re on the edge of falling rock bottom.
“And yet, you’re still in the mood to display your love for your wife.”
Madison sat down and finally gazed at Darrell. Her driver recounted the current situation to her while she was on the way there.
Madam Burgess had also told Madison what Darrell did.
He joined hands with other kids to bully Hunter when he was at the tender age of three.
Only then did Madison realize that some people were born to be bad guys. It had nothing to do with his age.
No matter how well he dressed himself up, it wouldn’t change the fact that he was rotten on the inside.
“It’s the era where even pigs are allowed to vote. Is it wrong to display his love for his wife? If you’re not happy with it, you can bring your partner-whom I assume is a pig as well-along to display your love for her. I’m sure no one will stop you.”
The others drew a sharp breath with how provocative her words were.
Hunter would never poke someone with words, but Madison couldn’t care less about it.
She was a woman anyway. The worst-case scenario would be going full-on aggressive by roasting Darrell.
The idea of it didn’t fear her, but would he be able to put his ego aside for it?
Darrell was stunned momentarily. Based on his understanding of Madison’s character through his investigation, he thought that she wasn’t a feisty woman.
Who would roast someone on their first meeting?
She was more interesting than he thought she would be.
“You have a point, dear sister-in-law.” Darrell smiled and lowered his head humbly.
Madison didn’t expect him to smile this brightly after having been told off.
These kinds of people were the scariest. He could give you their brightest smile and yet set you up in secret.
“Don’t take advantage of me. My husband doesn’t have a brother.”
His smile only beamed wider at that. He was like a fox. “Sure. I won’t call you that if you don’t like it.”
He stared at her without holding himself back, making her uncomfortable.
Hunter punched his fist against the table. “If you don’t wanna humiliate yourself by getting driven out of here, shut your damn eyes.”
The sense of danger could be felt in the air, exuding from Hunter. His acquaintances retreated two steps back in reflex.
It seemed like Darrell was the only person who grew up drinking gutsy juice as he responded, “Ms. Evans is so pretty that I can’t move my eyes off her. You haven’t forgotten my words, have you, Hunter?”
Darrell claimed that he would steal everything from Hunter.
That included Hunter’s woman.
A loud thud resounded in the meeting room.
Hunter kicked Darrell’s chair. The kick was so powerful that the swivel chair moved very quickly.
Before everyone could react to it, Darrell was kicked to the wall before falling onto the floor. It was totally embarrassing.
The bystanders helped him up. “Mr. Darrell, are you alright?”
