Sam's words left Ryan even more furious, perhaps embarrassed because Sam was right.Either way, he was losing control."Watch your mouth, Sam!" Ryan screamed. "When did I ever put the moves on Quinn?!"However, before Sam could respond, Marvin barked at them sternly, "That's enough! How old do you think you are, arguing whenever you meet?! Sam—watch your words, that's your brother you're talking to."Sam sneered in turn—he knew this would happen.Ever since they were children, it was always his fault if he and Ryan ever argued.He certainly remembered that one time he was having swimming practice in the garden's swimming pool, but Ryan told him to stop swimming that early in the morning because it affected his studies. Sam ignored him since he had a swimming competition coming up at school.Ryan simply ran to his parents after that, and they stopped him from swimming just because it affected Ryan.Sam tried to fight back, saying that he had a competition coming up, only for his

"What?!" Marvin frowned, surprised that his wife would suddenly say something like that."We only ever cared about Ryan ever since they were children because he's smart and a quick learner, excelling in everything. But we neglected Sam in turn—I don't even remember how many of his birthdays we've celebrated for him."Marvin did a double take and argued feebly, "Birthdays?! He should be learning to man up instead—""But we celebrated Ryan's birthday every time," Lindsay pointed out. "And we'd celebrate Sam's with him just because they were born the same month, never celebrating Sam's birthday by itself. And every time we celebrated Ryan's birthday, everyone would only offer their wishes to Ryan, so that doesn't really count either."Marvin, however, was neither that considerate nor eager to discuss it. "What's gotten into you? Why would they mind? They're brothers, y'know.""Haven't you noticed that Ryan's been making a habit of mocking Sam?" Lindsay told him. "I'm actually getting

Quinn continued, "You can't blame your parents even though I disagree with them and dislike what they said about you. But if you calm down and think, their prejudice against you is understandable—you were always messing around, while Ryan was smarter and disciplined. All we need to do is have your parents see that you're changing and doing your best, and I'm sure they'll see you in a new light in time. So instead of getting petty with them, prove yourself through your actions instead, alright?"Sam stayed silent, so Quinn had no idea what he was thinking—it was concerning since he had always been radical, and no one could ever force him to do anything he did not like.But now that he had changed, Quinn believed that he must not give up halfway through now."Sam?" she called out to him tentatively."I know," Sam suddenly said, leaving her perplexed.What did he mean?"I mean I know they won't trust me until I show results. It's my fault for being a disappointment before," Sam said

Quinn hesitated for a moment, but she eventually answered. "Yes, Ryan?""Where are you?! Where's Sam?! Dad was rushed to the ER again!" Ryan bellowed furiously over the phone.Quinn froze, though she soon recovered. "We'll be there right now.""What is it?" Sam certainly noticed the look on her face."Your Dad was rushed to the ER again," Quinn said, working hard to stay calm.Nonetheless, Sam stopped working right away and rushed out of his office, and Quinn hurried after him as they both rushed to the hospital.When they arrived, Marvin was already wheeled out of the ER.Sam was going up to Marvin when Ryan stopped him. "You have no right to be near Dad!"While Sam gritted his teeth, Lindsay glanced at him for a moment. Still, she was more concerned about her husband and asked the doctor, "How's my husband?""Don't worry, ma'am—it's nothing that serious," the doctor assured her. "He's just constipated and pushed a little too hard when he was having a bowel movement. That inc

Marvin was earnestly relieved. All he wanted was that capital injection to keep Saunderia standing—anything else could wait!He did not shy away from affirming Sam too. "We really owe you this time, Sam."Though Sam was not too enthusiastic, he replied, "That's mostly thanks to Johnny's help. He gave me the money once I asked and offered me some suggestions on how to resolve Saunderia's issues.""Yes, you should learn from him," Marvin said, pleased nonetheless. "He's always had an acumen for business even as a youth. You've made a good friend."As Sam nodded, Ryan was left seething.He never expected Sam to easily resolve Saunderia's monetary issue. While he would rather Saunderia be safe instead of going bankrupt as well, Sam's contribution still made him uncomfortable.As such, he could resist adding sarcastically, "No friend can protect you for life in the end, and John Levine won't help you again if you fail this time. Don't keep bothering the man when he has company to mana
