Darrell put on a triumphant smile. After all, he had been waiting forever for this day.
“What do you want?”
“I saved Hunter, but he’s gravely injured. I’ve already had a doctor operate on him overnight. In his current condition, even if he wakes up, he probably can’t go back to the company anymore.
“You could give me the company, you know.”
Darrell crouched down, putting his hands on Harold’s knees like a docile person. “Grandpa, if you acknowledge me as part of the Williams family, I’ll treat you with respect as Hunter does.
“I don’t ask for much. I only want you to acknowledge Mom and me at your birthday banquet.”
Harold was furious. “Are you threatening me?”
“No, I’m negotiating with you. You know that Dad has worked very hard to establish a business for the past few years.
“He finally got to where he is right now, but he can’t even compare with a hundredth of the Williams family. He is your only son, so how can you bear to let him be criticized out there?
“Moreover, I’m on par with Hunter. I can do the things he can and even the things he cannot do. I just want you to look at me, too.”
“What if I decline?” Harold spoke in a cold voice.
“Well, then…” Darrell’s voice suddenly turned cold as well.
He said nonchalantly, “I won’t be able to guarantee Hunter’s safety.”
Just then, Madison opened the door to the study. She glared coldly at Darrell. “What did you do to him?”
Faced with Madison’s questions, Darrell smiled victoriously. He looked like victory was finally in his hands, hence erasing his past shame.
“Calm down, Madison. Hunter shares the same blood as mine, so why would I hurt him? I especially went to save him, but he was severely injured. They’re still trying to save his life.”
“How is he exactly? Where is he?”
Harold touched the beads on his bracelet. “You say that he’s in your hands, so where’s the evidence?”
Darrell took out his phone and then played a video that lasted a few seconds. In the video, a man was lying on the bed, and he was seemingly going through an emergency rescue.
He wore an oxygen mask on his face, and he was surrounded by doctors. Everyone could see that the face was Hunter’s.
“How is he right now?”
“After the emergency rescue, his life is no longer endangered. You don’t have to worry about that.
Hunter is an important pawn under my control, so how can I let anything happen to him?”
Having gotten the upper hand, Darrell decided to quit pretending. He blatantly called Hunter his pawn.
“How can I believe you with one video?”
“Of course, you don’t have to believe me, Grandpa. But since you refuse to acknowledge me as one of the Williamss, he’s not my older brother either.
“If the doctors refuse to do their best, you can’t blame me for that.”
“You jerk!” Harold grabbed Darrell’s collar, a furious expression appearing on his face.
But Darrell remained calm. “Don’t get mad, Grandpa. You shouldn’t ruin your health over this. I don’t want to do this, but it’s your fault for not acknowledging me.
“I only want to take back the things that rightfully belong to me.”
Edmund and Madison came forward to calm Harold down as well. They feared that he might have
“Grandpa, sit down and take a break. You can take your time to discuss it. It’s fine as long as Hunter is still alive.”
“Yes, Mr. Harold. You have to take good care of your body at crucial times like this.”
Harold panted heavily, finally managing to adjust his breathing. “Let me see him.”
“I can’t do that. If you know where he is, I’ll lose this ace up my sleeve. Just acknowledge me as part of the Williams family at your birthday banquet, Grandpa. Then, I’ll let you see Hunter.”
Harold glared at him with a vicious look. “As expected, you’re just like your mom. You’re all ambitious scum.”
Instead of getting mad, Darrell smiled. “For the Williamss, a cruel person has more potential, right, my wonderful grandpa?”
Harold could only agree to his demands for the moment. After all, if Darrell was telling the truth,
Hunter was on the brink of death. It wasn’t the time for Harold to be concerned about those things.
Having received the answer he was expecting, Darrell smiled. “Thank you for being understanding, Grandpa. That’s more like it. We’re a family, so we should’ve behaved like this.
sooner.
“So, you won’t object if my parents and I move back, right?”
Harold suppressed the rage in his heart. “Do whatever you like. I’ve already agreed to your requests, so show me more of Hunter’s videos. It’s best if you can let him video call me.”
“Hunter has just undergone an operation, so he hasn’t woken up yet. I can’t arrange for a video call, but videos should be fine. I’ll ask someone to send more later.
“You don’t look too well, Grandpa. Should I help you back to your room to rest?”
“No need!”
“Fine. I’m busy with loads of stuff, after all. I don’t have time to spend with you. Edmund, get someone to prepare three rooms,” Darrell said in a commanding tone.
Edmund glanced at Harold. Then, he said in exasperation, “Alright.”
“I hope that when you talk to me next time, you’ll call me Mr. Darrell.”
Darrell had completely revealed his true colors. He didn’t hide his arrogance at all, which was a far cry from Hunter’s solemn calmness.
He slowly walked up to Madison, extending a hand toward her. “Glad to be here, Madison.”
Meeting his malicious gaze, Madison didn’t reach out. Instead, she walked past him and helped
Harold up. “Grandpa, I’ll take you back to your room.”
Harold nodded as he slowly got up to leave. Edmund felt helpless as he looked at Harold’s wizened figure.
“Grandpa, are you seriously going to accept his conditions?”
“We don’t have any news of Hunter for now. If Darrell is telling the truth, then that’s the only thing I can do. But don’t worry.
“I’ve already given Hunter many of the important properties and shares many years ago. Even if I acknowledge Darrell’s identity, the properties are all under Hunter’s name.
“Darrell won’t be able to get them.”
Harold’s eyes were gleaming cunningly as well. “His only betting chip is Hunter. He wants Hunter to stay alive more than us so that he can use Hunter for negotiations.
“Of course, there’s also the possibility that the video he showed us was faked. I agreed to him only as a makeshift plan. If Hunter isn’t in his hands, then we have to locate Hunter as soon as possible.”
But Harold knew that it was a very slim possibility. If Darrell wasn’t confident enough, he wouldn’t have made that move.
“Don’t give up, Madison. We have to believe in Hunter.”
“Yeah.”
Madison helped Harold back into his room. After lying down on a reclining chair, Harold finally felt a little better.
“Madison, light a calming candle for me. My head hurts too much.”
“Alright, Grandpa.”
Madison went to the rack. Other than containers of tea, it also housed some handmade candles.
She wasn’t quite familiar with candles, so she searched the rack.
Her elbow accidentally knocked over a box.
Some fragrant spices spilled from the box, along with a photo that was placed in the box.
Madison picked it up. Before she could see it properly, Harold shot up and snatched the photo from her hand.
The photo was yellowed, so it must have been around for some time. Madison caught sight of a young woman in a cocktail dress, and the woman’s face seemed to be quite pretty.
But before Madison could look at it in detail, Harold snatched the photo away. Seeing Harold’s stern expression, Madison couldn’t help but ask, “Grandpa, is it a photo of Grandma when she was young?”
Harold mumbled in response, “Just go out for now. Edmund will come over later to handle these things.”
Madison felt that Harold’s reaction was a little weird. He seemed to be very concerned about the photo, and when she asked if it was Eugenia, he couldn’t give a clear answer.
Sadly, the photo was too old, so it wasn’t clear enough. Madison couldn’t see the woman in the photo well.
Then, she thought about it. Not everyone would stay with their first love forever. The woman might be an unreachable presence for Harold.
Madison couldn’t be bothered about those trivial things, though. The most important thing right now was to figure out Hunter’s whereabouts. She had to know if he truly was in Darrell’s hands.
After Madison left, Harold carefully placed the spices back into the box. As he touched the photo with his fingers, a gentle expression flashed across his face.
“Ms. Nat, I don’t even know if you’re still alive. It’s been so many years…’
After looking at the photo for a while, he put it back with the spices. This time, he took the box and placed it in the safe, sealing it off forever.
The box was like that period in his past, completely hidden in the dark.
An earth-shaking change had taken place in the Williams family. Darrell walked out of the study with Edmund following him. He was as gleeful as they came.
Meanwhile, Janice was involved in the dramatic love triangle, and she couldn’t get out of it.
Jessica was making a fuss again.
For the sake of his so-called chivalry, Kenneth gripped her hand and refused to let go. Janice grew annoyed.
Janice slapped Kenneth viciously, making him stunned. After such a long time being apart,
Janice had gotten bold enough to slap him!
The movement provoked Jessica. As if protecting a child, Jessica dashed forward and began to attack Janice.
The family was thrown into chaos. The ladies of the house were pulling each other’s hair, and the household staff didn’t dare to take sides.
Only Sharon dashed forward straight away, throwing Jessica onto the floor. Jessica was in so much pain that she started crying. The scene was in chaos.
Then, Darrell appeared. “Aunt Janice, apologize to my mom.”
Janice was still tidying her hair, which Jessica had messed up. When she heard those words, she slowly looked up at Darrell.
She didn’t see Darrell often, and she still remembered him as a small child hiding behind Jessica.
She looked at Darrell, whose face looked a little like Hunter’s, but there was a vicious coldness to it.
Like his mother, he looked just like a venomous snake.
“Apologize? Who does she think she is?” Janice patted her dress as she spoke in disdain.
Darrell pulled Jessica to his side and comforted her. Then, he turned to look at Janice. “Aunt
Janice, you should be more self-aware. I admire your commitment to love, and I feel bad for you too.
“You could persist for so many years for someone who doesn’t even like you. But then again …”
He changed the topic. “You should have some shame. I don’t want to be rude since you’re an elder,
1.2
“My mom had been humiliated by people over the years, and now, it’s about time you realize your position.”
