"Gabi… this method will not work. It would only make you sicker. How could I let my younger sister endure so much work? Moreover… it would be difficult to manage such work."
"No need to worry about me, brother. While my body is indeed weak, my mind is far from that." Silence followed her words. She watched his face turned darker and darker as time passed by.
"Then you have already talked to the family lawyers?"
"Ah, yes. I also discovered that those Lawyers were not really the Sutton family lawyers. They are still working for the Ren Family. Are you aware of this?"
"That — " Of course he was aware of this! He was originally planning to use those people to meet with the old man. He was trying to use all kinds of reasons to be able to meet that man. However, no matter what he did, the old man would say he was busy or use another method to avoid him.
Until now, he couldn't understand why the old man hated him so much. He figured that it was because the old man knew that he was actually Gabi's half-brother. However, if he really knows this, then why didn't he tell Gabi about this matter? Moreover, the background that his father set up for him was perfect.
After his mother gave birth, his father sent her to one of his distant gay cousins. That man married Alfons mother and acted as his father. They live a simple life in a village far away from the city. During the ten years, he wasn't aware that his father was actually the prime minister of the country.
When he was nine, his mother started to feel sick, and he started noticing his 'father's lascivious gazes. Because of this, he chose to run away with his mother and live in the streets as a beggar for a few months. Sadly, he wasn't able to find enough money to cure his mother.
Before his mother's death, she finally told him to contact someone and told them that he was her daughter. And that was when his father found him.
At first, he never understood why this uncle was really good to him. It was only when he turned fifteen that his father told him about his real identity. The Young Master of the Sutton Family. The Heir.
After that, his father silenced that distant cousin of his who married Alfons' mother. Because of this, Alfons had been confident that no one else knows about his real father.
So, why was that Old Man Ren acting like he was some nuisance?
"I — I am not aware of this. Did the lawyers told you that they are not working for the Sutton Family?"
"Yes. And it surprised me. All this time, I thought that they were working for us. It turned out that they are only managing my mother's investments and wealth."
Alfons flinched. Was she trying to rub it in him that the lawyers were managing her wealth? "That is indeed weird. However… are you sure that you wanted to manage them from now on? I know that you are weak. What if— "
"Brother…" Gabi smiled at him. "It's fine. Though I didn't study anything about business, I can assure you that I am more than capable to manage a few million from my mother's investments."
There it was again. Gabi mentioned her mother again. It was as if she was trying to tell him something. And what few millions was she talking about? Those were hundreds of millions! HUNDREDS!
It could even amount to more than a billion, including all of her mother's assets outside of the country.
Many people didn't know this, but Gabi's mother was lucky enough to buy a few real estate lands and rented them to prominent companies. Those lands were worth hundreds of millions now. Gabi's mother had the foresight to invest in a few start-ups that have become big in the past few years.
Some of these companies are already members of five hundred fortune companies in the world.
"Well… since you insist, then I can only advise you to always take care of your health. I don't want to hear you collapsing somewhere or being rushed to the hospital." He gave her a gentle smile. "My little sister is all grown up now," he added while patting Gabi's head.
On the inside, he was already shouting, yelling from rage. But how could he show Gabi his real side? He could only smile and slowly alter his plans for now. "Ah, speaking of which… Gabi, I really hope you don't mind but my thesis this time…"
"Is there something wrong?"
"I needed to interview someone from the construction companies."
"Ah? You — Don't tell me you wanted me to introduce you to grandfather?"
Seeing Gabi paled, a bad premonition skittered inside him. What's wrong? Did Gabi offend the old man? He didn't know that Gabi actually met with that old man and even the Butler didn't say anything to him.
"We had a fight."
"A fight? Why was I not aware of this?"
"It happened over the phone. He wanted me to visit the company."
"You — Why would he…" Realization hit him. Gabi's mother was the only daughter of Old Man Ren. Meaning, she was supposed to inherit the company. However, Gabi's mother chose a different path and silently supported her husband's career.
Just like her mother, Gabi didn't show any interest in the Ren Aesthetics either. "He wanted you to work for him?"
Gabi lowered her head as she nodded. "But how could I work in a company like that? I don't know anything about them. I don't qualify for any position inside the company. I refused and… we had an argument. He said… He said… He didn't want to see me unless I agreed to visit his company."
"That — That old man is really cruel! How could he say something like that? How could he force you to work for the company?"
"It must be because he was… having some health problems."
Alfons' eyes turned bright when he heard Gabi's words. Health problems? Does that mean the old man… is dying?
