Blood trickled from the corner of Quinton’s mouth as he spat out a mouthful of it. Picking up his gold-rimmed glasses which had been trampled on, he raised his eyebrows and scoffed at Michael with disdain. “I said that I wouldn’t come back to Cethos and cause trouble, but Cethos is still my home; can’t I come back to visit my family occasionally?”

Michael grabbed his collar and roughly shoved him out. “Get out of here, and don’t appear in front of me ever again!”

Quinton slowly straightened his clothes as he gracefully adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. Then, he left in a taxi.

Stanley was still cursing even after Quinton had left; Michael got someone to drag Stanley away as he entered Mitchell International Energy and Technology. He wanted to show his youthful face to Cooper—that old man—and ask him if he still had any conscience left.

However, he was stopped by Dimon just before he reached the door.

“Mr. Cooper’s appointment for today is already full, Mr. Fletcher. Next time, please make an appointment with him one month in advance.”

Michael glared at Dimon before he turned to leave.

I’ll go home and wait for him; that old father-in-law of mine has to go back home at some point.

As he turned around, he saw Stanley standing at the entrance and wiping the blood from his nose. He grabbed onto Michael and pleaded, “Take me to the hospital, Uncle!”

Michael snapped. “Can’t you go by yourself?!”

 

Stanley stretched out his bloody hand and left a bloody handprint on his white shirt. “How can you be so heartless, Uncle Michael? I’m your nephew! My grandfather is your uncle! Look here—I was beaten up so badly, yet you don’t even care about me!”

Michael frowned and muttered, “Get in the car but don’t get it dirty; I still have to pick up your aunt from work.”

 

Stanley wiped the blood from his nose and told the Fletcher Family’s men to head back first as he got into Michael’s car.

After getting into the car, Stanley checked for outsiders before his pitiful expression instantly turned into a serious look as he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Michael.

“Look at this, Uncle Michael—I don’t know when Hope had put this in my pocket.”

Suddenly, Quinton had turned into Hope.

Michael took the note. Along with some of Stanley’s blood were several neatly-written words.
