AS MUCH as August remembers it, it was a great morning—even greater than the previous days because of the humiliation he gave Francis the last time. What happened to the arraignment crushed Francis to the ground. Because of that, Francis never dared to show his face in the interviews for a while, nor to let himself get involved even though August was talking nonstop about the arraignment. Fiona could now live peacefully again as she came back to the Remington Corporation with her face and chest up, being confident that she never did something wrong, so she shouldn’t be embarrassed. August thought that everything was going fine… That everything was going smoothly and fate seemed to be on his side. Turns out, Francis just came out of the picture temporarily because just like August’s emotions, Francis was preparing for greater things, too. Great for Francis, but shattering for August. “Breaking news! A potential suspect for Cecile Johens’ death has been arrested by the police!” “L

“HELLO, MY dear nephew,” the man, George Blackbell, greeted August in a low and dangerous tone. “Should we just see each other in tough times like this?” he added to ask as he sat beside August, who tried to suppress his smirk but failed.“Maybe,” August answered, slightly teasing his uncle. “Maybe that is our only role in our lives.”George chuckled a little because of August’s response. “Ah, how nice it is to have a nephew who has the same humor as me.”Both of them laughed and enjoyed the moment of them talking casually to each other while waiting for the meeting to start. Francis, on the other hand, could not believe his eyes at this moment. His eyes were wide, and his lips were parted. His calm demeanor slightly had a crack on it as he realized that it was not a dream.George Blackbell, one of the notorious personalities in the business industry, was in front of them. And he just called August his nephew.“Nephew… What the fuck?” Francis muttered a curse, causing August to look

A WEEK later, Francis was able to reduce his charges about the case with the hospital. It was because of his good deeds, the lack of direct involvement in the case, and various charities that the lawyers used to get the jury and the judge’s mercy.Instead of a criminal charge, he got regulatory sanctions instead.“The health department had found proof with the doctors’ conclusions about their patients—Including Mrs. Cecile Johens,” said the lawyer who was holding a thick white paper. “It was proven that some of the doctors were accepting bribes and making corruption in the hospital…”The lawyer stated afterward that those specific doctors should be fined and terminated from their jobs. Their medical licenses were revoked, too, to which Francis had agreed immediately,

OF ALL hours that Charles is gonna wake up, his body chose the time when August was far away from him. Without August knowing, Charles had woken up from his peaceful slumber.And now, Charles had accepted a new visitor within his approval—And the nurse was just informing him right now about this.“You should have called me earlier. Why are you just telling me now?” August shook his head and scratched his neck because of annoyance. “And why the hell did my father accept Wesley as his visitor? All of you already knew about his situation!” he added, pertaining to Charles’ condition.The tone of his voice slightly rose, and his voice became louder, too. August’s burst of anger took the attention of everyone within the vicinity, and as August realized he was starting to create a scene, he waved his hands to everyone looking at him, a sign that he was apologizing.“Miss Sapphire told us not to call you while you’re in a meeting. She said that we might disturb you,” the nurse informed Augus

AS AUGUST is the sole heir of the Remington family, he got all of the companies under Charles’ name—From the subsidiaries up to the main company itself. Harvey was slightly pissed because his uncle didn’t give him that much inheritance, but he vowed to himself that he’ll take what was his when the right time comes.But the board of directors didn’t trust August that much. Regardless of the genius proposals August had, and the achievement he had even though he wasn’t even declared as the heir before, some directors couldn’t help but think that the management will change as August became into charge of it.The unity they had suddenly crumbled into pieces… And the opponents gradually rise to the top.The Sandoval family’s ranking skyrocketed into the top eight, and it was the fastest time where a family entered the ranking. It was because the Sandoval Corporation’s gaming subsidiaries thrived drastically, the same as their main company. With the help of August’s gaming proposal before,
