“Wealth?” I asked her back, thinking I had not heard her correctly.Hazel furrowed her brows, giving me a look of disbelief.“Yes. Your inheritance.”“What are you talking about?” I stared at her, half-expecting that she had just misconstrued me for someone else.“The Grey Inheritance.”I scoffed and looked into her eyes. “Haze, remember, Grey is Sean’s family name, not mine.”“I know,” she replied as if what she was saying was just a simple matter. She took a sip of her coffee, wiped her mouth, and stood up.“Where are you going?” I got upset. Had she really no idea that I was already dying of suspense?“Go with me, Dr. Red,” she gestured with her hand, expecting that I could not refuse.I stood up like a puppet, picked up my bag, and followed her to the door.“I have booked a tour package for the two of us

“Bring me to the Grey’s residence,” I ordered, having forgotten in my anger that these people were not the offenders.Hazel and Philip looked at me; their questioning gaze was telling me to reconsider. If it would be an invasion of private property, I had all the right than Sean, because the blood running in my veins comes from the real Greys.“I’m afraid Mr. Grey would not allow us,” Philip objected, but a single glare from me had him cringe to obedience.“Call him, and tell him I am coming home.”Philip threw a glance at Hazel, and the latter nodded, although her expression was registering her sense of anxiety.They went out ahead of me, and when I stepped out of the mausoleum, they were already inside the car. Philip came out right away to open the door for me, and it seemed his treatment had changed the moment I had confirmed my background. Not that he disrespected me, but the way he loo

I could tell Sean’s eyes on me, but I never glanced at him, even when he turned to leave. The lawyer then showed me documents that were all dated a few months ago, precisely the same month when Sean and I met at the emergency room. My hands then trembled as I picked up one of those thick sheets.  “Why are all these in my name?” I asked; the sound of my racing heartbeats was louder than my breathing.“Yes. It’s because Mr. Grey had transferred the ownership of everything that Sir Thomas left him to your name.”“Just when?” All of a sudden, my voice wouldn’t almost come out from my throat.“A few weeks before you were appointed as the new president of the hospital.”I scanned those other pages, and my eyes flew wide when something caught my attention.“Laminae Inc., and Thomas and Albert Grey Medical Center are also in my name?”"Of course

"You don't have to take your mother to your hometown. Her doctor is here, and she's used to the place. And besides, I have changed my mind. I am no longer taking back this place from you," I replied, but I looked away. I chose to ignore his statement about our status and our child. "Thank you,  dear,  but we have never lived in your family's house, anyway. Mother only agreed to live close to Sir Thomas if he would sell a parcel of this residential lot to us by installment. And she has papers for that."I turned pale. That's maybe why the house was at the end of the fence, too far away from the main building. If it were not for the beautiful landscape connecting to the front lawn garden, I would have thought this house did not belong to grandpa's property. I almost got tempted to believe that Sean and his mom were never after my family's wealth, but anger had already seeped into my core. The pain of his betrayal with Calla had dominated my

"I'll do the same," said the other one, and this declaration hit everyone's mind like a domino effect."Unless Mr. Grey assures us in person, I couldn't allow gambling our investor's interest on some newbie."I felt like breaking down upon their distrust of me, but I could not blame them. Even if my grandfather or Sean may be the dominant controlling shareholder, they knew I was a doctor and had not been into any business before. These people were wise and experienced business magnates--some were even shareholders--and they were elected to see the company investors' overall interest."Calm down, everyone!" Atty. Evarez spoke, silencing the clamor that had started to break out. "It seems everyone has got the wrong impression. Dr. Red is here with us as someone who would go hand in hand with Mr. Grey. Is it not a fact, ladies and gentlemen, that when a man falls in love and gets his inspiration, he gets more efficient?""You're right, Atty. Evarez, but
