Chapter 42

Sharmaine hurriedly called Timothy after Olivia and the others left.

On one hand, she was uncertain if what they had said was true. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

On the other hand, she didn’t want to miss any chance to save her son’s life.

“Mr. Griffin, your son is in a critical condition. Without finding the right bone marrow match, it would be

difficult to cure him even if there were a miracle doctor.”

Timothy felt as if his world was about to crumble when he realized the doctor had discreetly conveyed a

dire prognosis.

He pleaded, “Take my bone marrow. I am his father. I’m sure it will match.”

He refused to accept the results of the earlier bone marrow match.

He wanted to give it another try.

As Timothy came out from his son’s attending doctor’s office, he received a phone call. from his wife.

He was hesitant to reveal the news to Sharmaine, but he had not expected her to be the first to speak.

“Someone just came to our house and said there is a way to save our son.”

The good news came so suddenly that Timothy cried with joy when he heard. Sharmaine.

But he came to his senses shortly after..

When he was desperate, he went to Christopher for help.

But even a big shot like Christopher couldn’t help him. 1

He wondered about the identity of those individuals.

As he was about to hurry back home, he asked Sharmaine on the phone about the individuals’

appearance.

Timothy seemed perplexed as if he couldn’t recall having a friend who fit that description after hearing

his wife’s description.

“Who the hell are they?”

Timothy drove home with doubts.

When he heard from his wife that the condition for saving their son was to testify on behalf of the

Sullivan Group in court, Timothy instantly grasped the situation.

It turned out the Sullivan family sent those individuals.

After his son’s illness, he was busy with everything and lost the demeanor of a professor.

He looked much older.

He left the house unshaven today.

He drew out a cigarette, lit it, and took several deep puffs before breaking into a violent cough.

He still hadn’t learned to smoke, despite having spent more than half of his life doing

SO.

However, since his son got ill, he had to rely on nicotine every day to numb himself.

Of course, he knew what it meant to be in court.

Once he appeared in court, it was almost certain that the Levine Group would face defeat.

At the same time, it would be nearly impossible for him to re-establish himself in the industry.

In essence, the career he had devoted his entire life to would be in ruins.

Nonetheless, if he opted to safeguard his own interests, he would have to endure the anguish of losing

his son and carry the weight of guilt throughout his life.

At that time, as expected, men were rational while women were emotional.

Sharmaine couldn’t stand to see her husband hesitate.

She cried and persuaded him, “Just promise to testify in court for them. If we lose our son, wealth and

prestige won’t be of any use. If anything happens to our son, I can’t live anymore.”

Timothy was really scared.

The scales in his mind teetered back and forth.

In the end, he sided with his son.

Sharmaine then handed over the business cards left by Olivia and her friends.

They scheduled to meet at the Royal Club about an hour later.

That was David’s place. It was very private and secure.

When Timothy entered Royal Club, everyone pointed and whispered about the disheveled man.

Little did they know that he had once been a man of great influence.

Vincent and Olivia were already waiting there.

Vincent was impressed as he looked at the woman before him. He had not expected her to be so

powerful.

He was particularly impressed with her proposal for a 2-billion-dollar increase in compensation.

The moment he heard it, he thought that he had misheard and immediately made the gesture of

clearing his ear several times.

Nevertheless, as Timothy observed her unwavering determination and her innovative plan to persuade

him to testify in court, he grew to admire her even more and had a good impression of her.

Timothy and Vincent were very close partners.

When they met, they got straight to the point.

The trial would take place tomorrow.

Timothy’s son would also be on the operating table for a bone marrow transplant on the same day if

Timothy testified.

Sullivan Group treated Timothy well, but that was just how the industry competed.

People naturally gravitated toward places that could provide them with better benefits.

Timothy never thought that one day he would come back to beg his old master.

But right now, he couldn’t care less.

Self-esteem and dignity were nothing compared to his son’s life.

Olivia then reminded Timothy of a few precautions.

Timothy had already guessed the identity of the young woman before him.

She was probably the legendary Inferno.

Sullivan Group would not have been so confident to pursue the case if they hadn’t found Inferno.

He sighed in his heart. Talents will always continue to arise. The world belongs to young people now.

It’s time for an old man like me to let go..

Timothy felt a little better when he thought about that.

He also felt much relieved.

At the Dellmoor Court of Appeals, Christopher and Earna, both dressed in suits and leather shoes,

entered the courtroom one after the other.

Christopher and Earna were particularly curious about the identity of Inferno, in contrast to the current

trial.

Christopher was astonished to see it was Olivia sitting at the plaintiff’s lawyer’s desk.

Of course, he knew that woman himself.

Katherine didn’t have many friends.

That girl named Olivia was her college classmate and best friend.

At that moment, he recalled that Olivia had indeed studied law, a fact he had discovered while

investigating Katherine’s background.

It seemed that Olivia had a professional background.

Nonetheless, Christopher couldn’t help but wonder what Sullivan Group was thinking by hiring a

relatively unknown lawyer.

Earna also noticed the situation there.

He looked surprised and felt displeased.

He thought, ‘Sullivan Group, what do you mean by this? How dare you find a rookie to be my

opponent?”

He took it for granted that the woman in front of him was not worthy to be his opponent.

The implication was that he felt humiliated.

Olivia noticed the disdain from Christopher and Earna.

She smiled and said inwardly, Take it easy. I’ll show you the real surprise later.

She deliberately glanced at Christopher and let out a chuckle in her heart.

“You’ll never know this is a big gift from your annoying ex-wife.

Tue, 23 Jan

Vincent felt as though he was here to watch a spectacle.

It was also a very exciting spectacle.

‘It’s a pity Kimberly can’t attend the court trial,’ he thought.

Before the trial, Vincent quickly typed a text into the Protect Sis PLUS group chat.

[Wish me luck, brothers and sisters!]

Soon the group was buzzing with messages, as if everyone was eagerly awaiting an opportunity to

support him.

[You can do this!]

[You will win!]

[Avenge for Kimberly!]

Everyone agreed that Christopher would be embarrassed today and suffer a heart- wrenching loss.

‘Christopher, you have

Chosen the wrong person to mess with. You don’t even know your ex-wife is a big shot. That’s pathetic,

Vincent said inwardly.
