Chapter 14

At the hospital, Sean walked around the yard twice with Paul and May’s help. He then took a break on a bench.

Sean thought he was about to meet the Grim Reaper when he got the stroke from drinking.

He was overjoyed to have survived this episode.

Suddenly, two familiar figures came into view. Rushing over, they were his son, Samuel and grandson, Miles.

Sean greeted them with a grin, “It’s so good to see you here.”

Samuel carried a deep sense of grievance, “Dad. I’ve tried to keep this from you but I can’t do so any longer.”

Sean puckered his eyebrows, “What is it?”

Samuel reported in agitation, “I told you that my brother let you have the Phoenixia when you’d had a stroke, right?”

Sean nodded his head with a stiffened face. He remembered how he refused to accept the pills, giving Benson’s family the cold shoulder that night.

Sean was slightly embarrassed because he was ultimately saved by Benson’s pills.

Samuel revealed, “Actually, he was unwilling to let you have them.”

Sean was thunderstruck, “What?”

Paul added, “I can confirm this, dad. The doctor said Phoenixia was powerful enough to save your life, so I went to him with my men. Not only was he unwilling to hand it over, but he’d also beat up my men. He later requested to make a deal with Samuel.”

Sean’s guilt for Benson dissipated. Instead, it was replaced by rage, “What kind of deal?”

Samuel ranted, “He wanted his daughter to be Grande Group’s general manager. Only then did he give us Phoenixia.”

Sean exploded, “Unbelievable!”

Miles added fuel to the fire with teary eyes, “Grandpa, Penny was the worst. After she’d gotten the position, she won the bidding for the Asiatic project by stealing my proposal.”

Sean grabbed Miles’ hands in surprise, “Really, we got the big shopping complex project?”

Miles’ tears were streaming down, “Yes. It’s good news for the family, and I shouldn’t cry about it. However, the proposal was my blood, sweat, and tears. I wanted to succeed in the bid for you so that I could celebrate with you after you’re discharged. I can’t believe she stole that from me.”

Sean was fuming at this point, “Benson and his daughter are out of line this time!”
