His Lordship Alexander Kane

“Dad, Amber also said that her family will have nothing to do with the Chesire family anymore.” Neil got angrier the more he thought about it.

He thumped the coffee table. “I was blind back then to let her work for the group! Donovan lowered his head and silently took deep breaths. The buzzing in his ears got louder and louder. After a while, he looked at Neil with rage and disappointment in his eyes. He should have taken the company into his own hands. His eldest son could not even handle a single project! They did not even read the contract properly! Were all of them blind? He wanted to kick Neil, but seeing how remorseful he was, he could not bear to do 1. it. “That bitch Amber Chesire...and that crippled father of hers!” Donovan was furious, but it was pointless. The contract clearly stated its terms and clauses. It was a done deal. “They only took away a project. The Chesire family will still stay strong. Neil, you better listen to me.”

Donovan gulped his tea and, with reddened eyes, said sternly, “Patrick Chesire and his family will no longer be part of the Chesire family. | don’t care what you do, even if you... You just have to take back whatever they stole from us!”

“Understood,” Neil replied. He clenched his fists. With Donovan's order, Patrick and his family were dead meat.

Seeing his father finally calming down, Neil said tentatively, “Dad, | do have something else to say...but I’m not sure if | should tell you.”

“Tell me!” Donovan looked fierce. What else was there that could not be said at this point? Nothing could be worse than Amber stealing their project!

“Dad, Patrick Chesire and his family...have formed a new company called the New Chesire Group. They even invited me to the launch,” Neil said with his head hung low. His eyes were gleaming with hatred.

“What? New Chesire Group?” Donovan was short of breath. He saw black. The buzzing in his ears got louder until an explosion went off in his mind. The next

“Dad! Don’t scare me!” Neil quickly held onto Donovan as he yelled, “Help! Help! Take Sir Donovan to the hospital!”

A few security guards and the housekeeper ran over. They frantically put Donovan into the car.

Neil looked anxious, but no one noticed the mischievous glint in his eyes.

In the car, he grabbed Donovan’s hand tightly and said anxiously, “Hold on, Dad. We’re almost at the hospital. Stay strong!”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Donovan’s body felt numb. He was so nauseous that he wanted to vomit, but he could not see anything or say anything. He could only moan.

They quickly rushed Donovan to the emergency room, where the doctors spent the entire night resuscitating him.

The doctor told Neil that Donovan was most likely going to be bedridden for the rest of his life.

News of what happened spread not long after. Patrick merely smiled bitterly and shook his head. He felt a little helpless. Susanne and Amber looked at each other expressionlessly.

Donovan never treated them as family. The Chesire family had nothing to do with them anymore.

The next day, Amber and her family woke up early, especially Patrick.

Patrick stood in front of the mirror as he dressed up. He combed his hair and tied his tie. He even shaved. He was afraid he might miss a single step.

Before heading out, Susanne straightened his tie once more. He looked at least 10 years younger, as if when they first started dating. Susanne’s eyes reddened.

“Don't worry, dear. Even if | have to sacrifice my life, | want you and our daughter to live the best life.” Patrick pulled Susanne into his arms and hugged her tightly.

“What are you doing? The children are here!” Susanne blushed. “I trust you, okay?” Patrick smiled. Alexander drove the Porsche, and they soon arrived at the office.

George had renovated the interior of the office and even changed the sign on the

+15 BONOS Early that morning, all the executives and staff stood on the front lawn, waiting for the new chairman to arrive.

Alexander stopped the car and led Patrick to the building. Looking out at the sea of humans, the usually timid Patrick puffed up his chest authoritatively. Even his limp was not that obvious anymore.

George was first to applaud. “Let’s all welcome our new chairman!” The staff applauded excitedly.

“|, George Severn, hereby announce that from today onward, Severn Group will be named New Chesire Group, which will be led by Mister Patrick Chesire as the chairman and Miss Amber Chesire as the general manager. Please give a warm round of applause!”

George continued, “All of you don’t need to be surprised. No matter who the new chairperson is, all of you need to work hard. Assist New Chesire Group in their spurting growth!”

George was finally relieved from all of his duties. He and his father owed their lives to Alexander. In his mind, Severn Group was Alexander’s. Of course, it was only logical to give it to his wife.

George also understood Alexander well. He knew that if he was loyal to Alexander, he would not be mistreated.

Alexander helped Patrick forward. Patrick scanned the crowd and noted there were at least a few hundred people. He felt like he was in a dream.

He took a deep breath and picked up the microphone.

“Thank you for your warm welcome. I'll treat New Chesire Group as my home, and I'll strive tirelessly for it. Together, we'll take this company to new heights!” A rapturous applause rang out once more.
