Chapter 1

"Harvey! Harvey, wake up!"I, Jason Sullivan, desperately slapped Harvey Chandler's face.His lips had already turned a dark purple, and a wheezing sound like an old bellows came from his throat.It was the sound of severe oxygen deprivation.My palms were drenched in sweat from anxiety.Sheldon Walker, however, rolled his eyes next to me."Jason, stop acting. Aren't you tired?"He always pretends to be weak. Isn't he just trying to get out of taking part in today's cleaning duty?"I abruptly turned around and glared at Sheldon.I shouted, "He's dying, and you're still talking nonsense!"Sheldon flinched, but he quickly puffed out his chest again and looked utterly unconvinced."Dying? There's no way he'd die that easily."Don't try to scare me. I'm not that easy to frighten."I didn't have time to waste arguing with him.I reached for the emergency phone and frantically pressed the red alarm button.Finally, the call connected again."You bunch of brats! When are you g

"Ahh!"Sheldon let out a bloodcurdling scream.I slammed headfirst into the elevator wall, and a flash of white light blinded me.Harvey, who had been lying on the floor, was thrown into a corner by the impact.Boom.The elevator came to a violent stop.The surroundings plunged into darkness.Only the emergency light emitted a faint glow.Ignoring the pain in my body, I crawled toward Harvey and reached out to check for his breath.There was nothing.Harvey had completely stopped breathing.My mind went blank with a loud buzz, and I froze."Harvey! Wake up!"I desperately began performing chest compressions."One, two, three–"I cried as I pressed down on his chest.Sheldon cowered in the corner and trembled in terror."This has nothing to do with me. He was sick to begin with."Yeah, he died because he was sick. It had nothing to do with me."He kept muttering the same words while trying to shirk responsibility.I turned around and glared at him with bloodshot eyes

"Quick! Quick! Pry open the doors to Elevator 3!"An enraged voice came from outside.My heart leaped with joy."Dad! We're in here! Harvey is dying!" I shouted.However, before the sound of the doors being pried open could even begin, another ingratiating voice cut in."Mr. Sullivan, please don't worry. This must be some kind of misunderstanding."The control room reported that a few kids were pulling a prank."They deliberately pressed the emergency button and even called our security guard crazy."Young people these days just love filming pranks to post online."If we make too much of a scene, it'll affect the mall's business. The losses could be significant."It was the property manager.To shirk responsibility, he was actually helping the security guard cover up the truth.Dad's voice was filled with restrained fury. "Shut up! My son is in there. Do you really think he'd joke about something like this?"The property manager continued making excuses."Mr. Sullivan, yo

I looked at Harvey lying motionless on the floor.A single tear slowly slid from the corner of his eye.It seemed to speak of his desperate will to live.I couldn't give up!I clenched my jaw, picked up my shattered phone, and called Dad again."Dad! Put me on speaker!" I screamed hysterically.The call connected, and I heard Dad switch on the speakerphone.I shouted into the phone, "Property manager! Listen carefully!"My name is Jason Sullivan, and I am the sole heir to Sullivan Group!"The person lying beside me is Harvey. His father is Frank Chandler, the deputy hospital director of Central Hospital!"If Harvey dies here today, not only will your property management company be finished, the entire Sullivan Group will be dragged down with it!"That security guard on duty, and you, the property manager, are both guilty of deliberately causing someone's death!"My phone automatically backs up recordings to the cloud. Every conversation we've had, including all the crazy th

"Medics! Hurry!"Dad's voice was the first thing I heard.Several emergency responders carrying a stretcher immediately rushed in.They quickly carried Harvey out.I followed them out of the elevator before gasping for air.The hallway outside was already surrounded by people.The property manager and the security guard were kneeling on the floor. Their faces were pale, and their bodies trembled.The moment Dad saw me, he ran over and pulled me into his arms."Jason, are you all right?"I shook my head and pointed at Sheldon inside the elevator."Dad, don't let him off."That security guard and the manager too. They're all accomplices!"Dad's face was livid. He coldly stared at Sheldon as he emerged from the elevator.The moment Sheldon saw the huge commotion outside, he was so frightened that he wet himself.His knees gave out, and he collapsed onto the floor."Sir, it wasn't my fault! The security guard was the one who hung up!"It was Jason! He refused to let me expl

The moment Meredith finished speaking, I turned to face the elevator at the end of the hallway.Three aggressive-looking silhouettes stepped out.In the lead was a middle-aged woman dressed in flashy clothes. She had a thick gold chain hanging around her neck.Behind her was a balding man with a protruding beer belly. He had a briefcase tucked under his arm.Standing between them was Sheldon, who had just been released on bail.The fear he had shown inside the elevator before was completely gone.He hid behind his parents while glaring at me with a look full of resentment and smugness."Who's Jason Sullivan?"Fiona Walker's shrill voice echoed through the hallway."Get out here right now!"The nurse on duty hurried over to stop them."This is the ICU. Please keep your voices down!"The woman suddenly waved her hand and shoved the nurse aside."Cut the crap!"My son has suffered a terrible injustice. I'm getting justice for him today!"Her eyes immediately locked onto me

Dad walked out of the doctor's office nearby. He was dressed in a perfectly tailored suit.His face was thunderous.The moment David saw Dad, the arrogance on his face disappeared.He rubbed his eyes as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing."M-Mr. Sullivan?"His voice began trembling violently.Dad didn't even acknowledge him. Instead, he turned to Meredith behind him."Meredith, record everything these people just preserved as evidence in court."I want them to learn exactly what it means when justice catches up with you."Meredith immediately nodded and retrieved a voice recorder.David began to panic, but he still forced himself to step forward."Mr. Sullivan, what brings you here?"Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"I'm David Walker, the project manager at the Branch No. 3 of Heather Construction!"Our company has had a long-standing partnership with Sullivan Group. I even toasted you at the annual banquet last month!"As he spoke, he pulled out a pack of

Fiona still wasn't ready to back down."So what if you're the chairman?"Does being chairman mean you can fire people whenever you want?"Listen up. My brother is a director at the school board!"With just one phone call, we can make sure your son can't stay at that school!"She screamed, trying to intimidate Dad with what little influence her family possessed."Is that so?"Meredith smiled and adjusted her glasses behind Dad."Mrs. Walker, is the brother you're referring to Jim Leroy?"Ten minutes ago, we submitted evidence to the inspector general's office showing that Jim abused his position to improperly arrange Sheldon's release on bail."He's probably under investigation by now."Fiona's screaming abruptly stopped.Her face instantly turned pale.Her entire body went limp against the wall.Her final source of support was still far too weak in the face of Sullivan Group's enormous influence.Right then, the ICU door suddenly opened.Dr. Chandler walked out in a whi

Frank broke down and sobbed hysterically.His cries made even the medical staff nearby tear up.David and his wife were now kneeling on the floor. They crawled toward Dad and desperately clutched his pant legs."Mr. Sullivan! Please, have mercy and let us off this once!"We'll pay! We'll give the Chandler family everything we own!"Please withdraw the lawsuit! Sheldon is our only son!"They begged desperately. They were completely stripped of the arrogance they'd displayed when they first arrived.The sight was almost absurd.One second, they were threatening to make sure we couldn't stay in this city.The next second, they were on their knees and begging.The tables couldn't have turned faster.Dad looked down at them with nothing but disgust.He casually lifted his foot and kicked David's hand away."Let you off?"Then who is going to let the boy lying in there off?"I've been in the business world for decades, and the people I despise most are losers like you. You bul

Chapter 10

Frank cried out in alarm and ran through the door without hesitation.Several doctors and nurses on duty followed close behind.My eyes remained fixed on the vital signs monitor beside Harvey's bed.The heart-rate reading was fluctuating wildly."Get the defibrillator ready!" A doctor shouted inside.I was so nervous I could barely breathe. My hands were pressed tightly against the glass window, and my fingernails dug into my flesh.'Harvey, hang in there!'Tears silently streamed down my face.Inside the ward, the doctors were frantically working to save him.Frank stood nearby. His eyes were bloodshot as he helped adjust his son's ventilator with trembling hands.Time passed painfully slowly.To me, every second felt like an entire year.Finally, the red warning light on the monitor gradually went out.The green waveform began to settle into a steady, powerful rhythm.The resuscitation had worked.Just as everyone let out a sigh of relief, a sudden cry of surprise came
