Javier furiously stormed toward Doug’s office, but his angry expression instantly disappeared the moment he entered the room. At that moment, Doug was working on his proposal. When he saw Javier, he immediately asked, “Is there something I can help you with, Mr. Kersey?”Javier waved his hand. “No, you go ahead and focus on your work. I’m just going to sit here for a while.”Doug had no idea what was happening, but since Javier said he was alright, Doug naturally returned to his own work after pouring Javier a glass of water. Meanwhile, Javier sat on the sofa and took a look at the proposal Doug had come up with previously.As for his issue with Oliver a moment ago…Javier had completely put it behind him. ‘Would being angry over something so trivial be worth it? Of course not! If I got furious over something so small, I would’ve died from a heart attack long ago!’In fact, the only reason he had thrown such a huge temper tantrum in front of Oliver was because he wanted to tak

Javier’s question and “excellent suggestion” ruffled Mikaela’s feathers. Waving hurriedly, she explained, “No, that’s not what I meant, Mr. Kersey! I was just thinking…We are going to buy the same thing, and Donald said he knows the best way to get it and knows a lot about it, so I was thinking…Why not kill two birds with one stone? So here I am.”Javier considered the unadulterated sincerity—bordering on gullibility—in her eyes and let out a snicker. He pulled out his phone and looked up an MRI model online before turning back to Mikaela. “Donald told you he knows about these things, doesn’t he? Give him a call right now. Ask him how many brands of MRIs there are, how much they cost, and what each of their strengths and weaknesses are. Which one is being used by which state-of-the-art hospital?”Mikaela hummed. Donald must really have meant it when he had said he knew about these things. She called the man at Javier’s behest and repeated every question to him.His answer was underw

With Renna in her arms, Mikaela left the house she used to call home, her silhouette moving in the streets outside. The breeze tonight was warm, and yet she felt only a tomb of ice in her chest.Ten years’ worth of youth—all spent on a piece of top-shelf sh*t! It was so infuriating that she was wondering if she should just gouge out her eyes if she was going to live like a blind person anyway!As she was simmering in fury, Renna suddenly murmured, “Mom? I’m hungry. I haven’t eaten in a long time now…”Mikaela snapped out of her anger. Belatedly, she realized it was now a few minutes past eight, and Renna had not eaten anything since lunch about seven or eight hours ago. She looked around to locate her handbag, where her wallet and phone were, so she could treat the girl to a meal in a restaurant nearby.That was when it hit her. She had barged out of the door at the peak of her lividity and forgotten to bring her handbag and phone along. She was literally penniless, and without her

Javier swore the night was almost too impossible to get through.As it turned out, his success was merely on how he managed to make Mikaela and Renna stay—the woman had her own devious wiles against him. She had told Javier she needed to check on her daughter in her room to make sure she was okay and promptly shut herself inside Renna’s room, declaring she was “going to sleep”. It had been an excuse!This had to be a crime against humanity, right? It got to be!He lay on his bed, maidenless and powerless. All that teasing had gone nowhere—he had to give that woman props for withstanding his almost unbeatable advances. How on Earth did she do it?He spent way too much time tossing, turning, and rolling on his sides to finally fall asleep. God, to go to sleep hungry like that!Javier was not even given a chance to oversleep in the morning. Renna had to go to school, so Mikaela woke him up by knocking on his door, asking, “Is it me, or is there nothing to eat here in this unit?”Jav

Javier’s initial plan was to upgrade some of the equipment into its more hi-tech counterpart, but he changed his mind after a while. How much could he save, anyway? It would be better if he changed everything anew.If one was going to do something, they should do it right or shouldn’t bother at all. Hence, he wanted only “the best equipment” and “the best doctors.” Sacred Virtue Hospital had to be the very best, state-of-the-art hospital in the nation—no, the world!It had to be this good for Reivaj Group to make a name in the medical industry.Naturally, the name of the hospital needed to change. “Sacred Virtues” was not too bad a name, but Reivaj Group only ever named its subsidiaries with the same name, and that was…Well, Reivaj itself. Nothing more was needed.Be that as it may, the naming of the hospital was hardly Javier’s priority. He could always change its name after everything else was settled.By the time the clock struck six in the evening, Dylan had finally finished t
