Chapter 1014

As soon as Thaddeus vanished, it was like he dropped off the face of the earth for an entire month.

The CEO of the mighty Abernathy Group, a man of considerable influence, had just disappeared without a trace. Gordon was left behind to handle the pressing issues at the company, but there were still a mountain of documents that required Thaddeus's personal approval.

The "situation room" was a mess, and the "king's" desk was piled high with urgent reports.

Eventually, the truth couldn't be hidden any longer, and it reached the ears of Hamilton and Frederic Abernathy.

Thaddeus had barely escaped with his life in Helgen, gravely injured and in a

deep coma for a whole week, and only then did his grandfather and father learn of

it.

The fury and shock of being kept in the dark hit the two business titans like a bolt out of the blue, almost too much for them to bear.

Hamilton, on hearing the news, was rushed to the hospital that very night.

Frederic, meanwhile, flew to Helgen without delay and had his unconscious son transported back to Elmsworth on a top-of-the-line private jet, under the watchful care of Elmsworth's finest medical team.

Rumor had it that at the hospital, Frederic had a heated altercation with the Ashbourne family, creating quite the chaotic scene.

Relations between the two families plummeted to an all-time low, nearly beyond repair.

If it hadn't been for the commanding presence and leadership of the elder brother, who managed to calm things down after a half-hour private talk with Frederic, the situation could have escalated beyond imagination.
