Jared looked back at Nicole without a hint of surprise. "You don't have to comfort me. I just want to stay here with Grandpa for a little while longer."Nicole took his hand. "I mean it. Time is running out."Seeing Nicole's serious expression, Jared walked out of the operating room without a word."Martin, where are you?" Nicole's urgent voice came through the phone."I'm at the hospital.""Great. Come help me in the operating room on the thirteenth floor right away.""The operating room? You're hurt?" Martin asked nervously."It is not me. You will know when you come over.""Okay, I will be right there."Martin left what he was doing and ran to the elevator, and headed to the operating room as fast as he could."Mr. Johnston? What are you doing here?" Martin saw Jared sitting in a chair outside the operating room. Jared looked up at him without saying a word. Martin pushed the door open and walked in. "Nicole, I saw Mr. Johnston outside. Who is it that needs surgery?"The

Henry returned to his office with the thinking that Mr. Johnston Sr. could no longer speak for Jared."Castor, spread the news about your grandpa's accident right away. The sooner, the better." Henry wanted to teach Jared a lesson for being arrogant all this time. He then called all the directors of the company.The next day, Jared was on his way to the company when Max sent him the news of Mr. Johnston Sr.'s accident.[Johnston Group's chairman died in an accident.] Jared stared at the headline on his phone. Just then, a call came in, and it was Henry."How long before you arrive at the company? The board members have something to discuss with you." Henry sounded excited on the phone.Jared seemed to have guessed what was going on. "Max, drive faster.""Yes, Mr. Johnston."Max sped up the car at once and soon arrived and stopped in front of the Johnston Group building. Jared strode ahead toward the conference room. He came to the front of the conference table and sat down,

"Okay, I will contact Claus right away."After Henry was elected acting chairman, the first thing he did was to allocate funds to relieve the pressure on the branch, and Henry and Castor eased up."Dad, now that you are the chairman, the Johnston Group is finally in our hands, and we are no longer at Jared's mercy." Castor was jumping for joy."Yeah, after all these years, I finally made it to the top on my own," Henry said."Congratulations, Dad.""Castor, from now on, I will let you run this branch. Make good use of this opportunity, and we, father and son, join forces. When we have finally taken over the Johnston Group, we can do whatever we want." Henry was not content with being an acting chairman. He wanted control of the Johnston Group, the real chairman."Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely put the branch in order.""Keep an eye on the hospital side at all times. Don't let your grandfather wake up, do you understand?" Henry reminded him with a serious face."Got it. I w

Henry heard Jared's voice and turned to him in his swivel chair, looking at him with pride. "Excellent. The feeling of sitting here is really different. Even the scenery is so breath-taking. Call me Mr. Chairman from now on, Jared. By the way, what are you busy with now?""Nothing. I have just recently taken on a new project." Jared would not tell him about his investment in Martin's Beacon."Oh, you don't seem to be doing anything worthwhile. I mean, how come the company is not doing well? But it doesn't matter. Now that I've taken over, there is a very popular project abroad that I think our company should compete for. Of all the people in the company, I think you are the only one who knows the company best. So I will appoint you to represent the company to compete and try to take the project." Henry was on his first day as the acting chairman and already started to flex his muscles. The first person he wanted to fix was Jared, and he was going to use this nice-to-have project as a

"Is the porchetta ready?" Nicole could not wait but went into the kitchen as she had smelled it."Yes, it is ready." Tia served the porchetta in style and brought it to the table."It looks very appetizing.""Come on, try it." Tia looked at Nicole.Nicole took a bite of the porchetta and flavors exploded in her mouth. "It is so good!""There would be no surprises if I brought it out earlier.""I can eat this all day. This porchetta is just too good." Nicole munched at it.After the meal, Nicole and Tia were relaxing on the sofa. "Tia, why don’t we watch a movie?""Yeah, I will find one."Just then, Nicole's phone rang. She picked it up and answered it. "Hello.""It has been a long time, Nicole. My R&D team has been set up. When are you coming over to take a look?" Scott's voice came through the phone."Scott, I admire the speed of your execution. I can’t believe you have already put together the R&D team so quickly." Nicole marveled at Scott's speed at doing things."Since
