Inside the personal room of Zi Chen, all the family members gathered to see Zi Chen, who is bedridden. Among the mob, only Larry is an outsider who followed Zi Chen with an ulterior motive.
The patriarch sat on a wooden chair, deeply thinking about Kent’s offer. Even though Zi Chen is conscious, he is not uttering a single word. Every time he tried to open his mouth, the burnt skin is tearing off, and the mark on his forehead is giving him a lot of pain.
All the family members stood silently. The patriarch already explained to them about Kent’s condition of transferring 50% of business to Sophia. Most of the family members doubted the patriarch, thinking that he was using this chance to improve his personal wealth. But no one is daring to speak against Master Chen.
The family healer is applying different potions to Zi Chen’s skin. But all his efforts were adding more pain to Zi Chen. Larry, who came to take revenge on Zi Chen, stood in one corner, waiting for his opportunity.
After a long silence, Master Chen’s brother took a step forward to express his opinion. “Brother, I don’t understand why you are worrying so much about this small problem. First, transfer 50% of the business to Sophia. After a few days, we will call her back home and request her to transfer the business back to family. Continue reading stories on
She is still your daughter, and if we show some emotions, she will transfer them without a question.”
The patriarch’s brother explained in a clam tone while acting cool in front of all the family members. But many of his family members weren’t satisfied with his suggestion.
“Uncle, what if she gave all the assets to her lover before we asked her? If I’m not wrong, the guy named Kent definitely thought of this plan already.” A young lady from the Chen family objected in a questioning manner.
After hearing her question, the patriarch’s brother began laughing in a silly way. “This is why people need experience. Little girl, you are still young and need to learn many things. Even though we transfer the business to Sophia, we add a condition that she can’t sell or transfer the business to outsiders. We will also add several other conditions to restrict Sophia’s control over business.
Isn’t it awesome?”
The patriarch’s brother laughed triumphantly while glancing at the family members. After what he said, no other family member questioned.
“What do you say, brother?”
Finally, everyone turned toward the patriarch, whose decision is final. With a heavy sigh, Master Chen stood up from his chair. After taking a long look at his son, he turned towards the family members.
“I’m really fortunate to have you all as my family. Thank you for understanding the situation. Don’t worry, the assets will come back to the Chen family unharmed.” Master Chen thanked each branch family head for standing with him during these troubled times.
“Brother, please contact the property manager of the city and prepare a property transfer document carefully. Make sure everything is in our favor. Do you understand?” The patriarch stared at his brother, who suggested this idea first.
“Don’t worry, brother. I have a good relationship with the property manager. It will be a piece of cake.” The patriarch’s brother replied confidently. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cm
Nodding his head, Master Chen asked everyone to leave. Soon, everyone left while mummering several speculations among themselves. Only Master Chen, the healer, and Larry were left behind in the in the Zi Chen room.
“Larry, thank you for standing beside my son during this tough time. You can go home; my servants will inform you once Zi Chen heals fully.” Master Chen said in a calm tone.
“Master Chen, if you don’t mind, I will stay a bit longer. I’m also a reason behind Zi Chen’s condition. I should have stopped him from initiating this fight.” Larry replied with a sad face, acting all depressed.
Master Chen nodded his head and let Larry stay with Zi Chen. The sad look on Larry’s face slowly turned into a cynical smile as he stared at the leaving back of the patriarch.

Inside Kent’s residence…
After coming out of the pleasure shower, Sophia directly left to her residence as she felt very shy to face Lucy and Amelia. As the evening descended, Lucy also left for the beast abode peak.
Inside Kent’s room, Amelia is staring at Kent, who is seriously reading several old manuals at once. With an ink brush, he is occasionally writing down important things.
“How much longer will it take?” Amelia asked in a pampering tone.
Kent, who is reading the healing manuals sent by his aunt, took his time before replying. “I’m preparing your treatment schedule. Be patient, I need to be careful in each step.” Kent replied without lifting his head from the potion manual.
“You can do that tomorrow morning. Come here, I want to sleep on your arm.” Amelia replied like a small child who is getting sleepy.
After hearing her words, Kent paused for a second and shifted his position to her side. While leaning back on the wooden support of the bed, Kent let Amelia rest on his lap.
As she closed her eyes, Kent placed one hand on her head and held the paint brush with the other hand. The manuals began hovering around him in order and turned pages automatically on his command.

Back in Zi Chen, the healer also gave up on Zi Chen and left the room. Larry, who stood in the corner silently, put his hands down from his chest and slowly walked towards Zi Chen.
He confirmed that the room door is locked before taking out a small glass veil that contains a black liquid.
“Mmmmmm… Mmmmm….”
Zi Chen tried to question Larry, who took out his wand and placed a powerful sound barrier.
“What are you doing? Do you know where…” Suppressing his pain, Zi Chen questioned Larry in a weak tone. But before he finished, Larry opened the glass veil and poured the black liquid into Zi Chen’s mouth.
Larry tightly held Zi Chen’s cheeks to let him swallow entire liquid.
