Then, the sound of a phone ringing echoed in the room. It was doctor's phone. One of the officers went ahead and received it before putting on loudspeaker for doctor to hear.r
<'Doctor', we have found that all the actions that you have been taking in our hospital do not follow the code of a doctor. So, from this moment on, you are no longer an employee of our hospital. There's no need for you to resign, we fired you.> Immediately after that, the called ended.r
Silence reigned in the room for a moment. Then, there was a rapid beeping sound from the machines that were monitoring doctor's heartbeat. The doctor looked at it. He was shocked. He hurried forward to check only for things to go silent.r
"What happened?" The officer in charge asked with concern.r
"Eh, the patient suffered from heart attack and high blood pressure and died." The doctor said as he looked at the flat lines running on the screen. It indicated that the heart had already stopped beating.r
"He died? Just like that?" The officers couldn't believe it.r
"What are we going to do?" One of the officers asked.r
"Well, he was found by a mob, beaten up, rescued and brought to the hospital, then, he died from high blood pressure and heart attack due to being fired from work." The officer in charge responded.r
"So, who killed him?"r
"The mob and the one that fired him."r
"Who are we going to arrest? Both?"r
"Of course not! Get that person who fired him. He's the one who killed him by heart attack and high pressure."r
"Got it."r
"Have you recorded the statement?"r
"Yes boss. It's all done."r
"Okay, match on. Let's go and arrest that murderer." r
"Yes sir!"r
"Oh, wait a moment. Who was the one that fired him and where is he?"r
"Look at how forgetful I am. Take the phone with us, that's evidence. Handle it carefully."r
"I got it sir. The evidence is secured."r
"Alright! Let's go and catch that criminal."r
Doctor in charge: "...."r
Nurse: (☉。☉)!r
Poor hospital director, he didn't think that by trying to save the reputation of the hospital by firing 'doctor' actually made him a murderer who was wanted by the police.r
...r
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ On the other hand, the Alfonso family was in a mess. They couldn't handle things in the direction that they were heading at.r
The damage of reputation that they had suffered from being connected with 'doctor' through Marion who was part of the Alfonso family had brought them losses.r
Not only had several employees of theirs stopped working, there were those that had began claiming that their salaries were being delayed. Some even said that they were harassed by members of the Alfonso family who were in the upper echelons of the companies.r
One by one, the companies that were in charge of selling products began seeing a decrease in the number of sales. Then, the goods that were supposed to have been delivered were detained as the port authority wanted to confirm if the goods were defective or not.r
This in turn led to the delays in the delivery of the orders. Those that were supposed to receive the goods came after the Alfonso family, wanting to have them compensate them for the losses that they had suffered.r
The contracts were broken one after the other and the Alfonso family had to pay for the damages that had been caused due to the failure in delivering the products.r
The banks and SACCOs that had ever given loans to the family came forward to ask them to pay the debts or they would have their property seized.r
The banks decided to freeze all the accounts of the members of the Alfonso family and their related businesses. In this way, they would make sure that the little money that was left in the bank wouldn't be used up before they got paid.r
The products that were related to the Alfonso family were boycotted one after the other. The cooperation that the family had with other partners were broken one after the other. These people were not willing to be buried alongside the Alfonso family.r
At this time in the Alfonso mansion, Dalton was still frowning in the study room. He was looking at the information that he had received from Kevin about Jack.r
The information stated that Jack had bought a building that was worth $70,000,000. This was something that made him question if this was true. After all, how could Jack be able to afford that huge sum of money?r
He was still trying to find the weakness that he could exploit to make sure that Jack came back to the family. But, he had been in here for over two hours but he still couldn't think of something that could be used to get him back.r
Just as he was about to make a phone call, there was a sudden bang and the door was opened by force.r
"Who the f*ck has no respect that he charges into my study like a mad bull?" He was already frustrated. Now that there was someone who actually dared to barge into his study like that, he couldn't help but want to vent.r
"You unfilial son! How dare you say that I don't have respect? Am I not the one that taught you what respect is? And you dare to call me a mad bull? If I don't teach you a lesson today, then I'm not Victor Alfonso!" Victor who had just entered received the insults from his son.r
Being already angry only for him to be insulted, Victor raised his cane and began beating Dalton up, completely forgetting that Dalton was now an adult.r
Dalton on the other hand had never expected that it was his father who had entered like that. This was unlike him. So, he had simply thought that he could vent on the person that was coming in. Who knew that he was actually inviting the old man to vent his anger on him.r
He had wanted to explain that it wasn't intentional but Victor had already began beating him up. The cane that he was using wasn't made of plastic or wood. It was made out of metal!r
So, each strike that landed on Dalton made him hiss in pain. But, he didn't dare to cry out loud considering that his children were around somewhere. He managed to go through the pain for over five minutes.r
Feeling tired, Victor whose eyes were already red looked at him and began berating him again. "What did I do to deserve such a useless son? You saw that chasing your son away wasn't enough. Now, you actually dared to do something that is now threatening to destroy my family?!"r
Dalton could understand the first mistake where he chased Jack out of the family. But, what the heck with the second part? When did he even make a decision that affected the family? Could it be that the Farel family had already announced the engagement party was going to happen tomorrow?r
"What happened father? What did I do wrong?" Dalton asked.r
"You dare to ask again? You don't know that your wife was cooperating with a criminal? Now, the media is condemning our family that we are a group of criminals!" Victor roared in anger.r
"Eh? Such a thing happened?" Dalton was dumbfounded.r
"You ignorant fool. You don't even know something like that? Are you really the family head? All our businesses are collapsing. The shareholders in our companies are selling their shares at a cheap price!"r
"Goods that were supposed to be delivered have all been detained! Contracts have been broken! We need to pay back the loans that we took! All those that didn't get the goods on time are asking for the compensation for the damages that have been caused!...."r
The more he spoke, the angrier he got. In the end, victor collapsed on the floor. He was old to begin with. For him to do such an intense activity where he spent a lot of energy, he had to get to suffer.r
Dalton was so dumbfounded after hearing what his father was saying. He couldn't understand how things came to this. He had thought that he was handling things well. In the end, the family was going to be ruined in his hands?r
Just thinking of those that had been eyeing the family business all this time and those that he had offended to make sure that he succeeded, Dalton couldn't help but shiver. He knew that those guys would come out of the dark and try to devour the Alfonso family.r
Seeing his father collapsing, he forgot everything that he was thinking about and rushed forward to hold him. After arranging for the old man to rest, he stormed out of the study room furiously.r
"Marion! Where the heck has this woman gone to?! Come here right now and explain to me what is going on!" He roared.r
Those that saw him immediately took the opportunity to slip away. None of them wanted to face the angry Dalton.r
Even Dalton's brothers that had always wanted to be the CEO of the Fonso Group couldn't do a thing. This would have been a good opportunity for them to take Dalton down and replace him.r
But now, how could they dare to take the hot potato? They would let Dalton handle the things himself. If they dared to take over the position, they would be the ones that would have to face the pressure that came with the current turbulent storm that the family was facing.r
After looking and asking around, Dalton was informed that Marion had left the family mansion about six hours ago. And since then, they didn't see her and neither did she receive any calls. What's more, they couldn't find anything about her. It was like she had just vanished.r
What's even more suspicious was that Brenda had also vanished. This made many people think that the mother and daughter had already run away from the very first sign of danger.r
Dalton was even more infuriated. How could a woman that he had married actually cause the fall of his family? He was so angry at this point.r
He tried thinking of the solution to the current problem. He made several calls but each and every call ended with his face darkening further and further.r
He was feeling helpless. It was at this point when his phone rang. Looking at the caller, he found that it was actually Alton. He was excited and a hint of hope ignited in his eyes. How could he forget that he had such powerful in-laws?!r
He received the call immediately. "Master Alton..." He couldn't even finish before Alton's angry voice came over.r
"You dare to lie to me?! You told me that he was your son. In the end, you had actually expelled him from the family! Since you dare to play tricks on me, I will make sure that your Alfonso family falls. What's more, the engagement doesn't exist anymore!"r
Tut...Tut...Tut...r
The call ended there.r
Dalton dropped the phone onto the ground as he stared in front of him lifelessly as he muttered, "It's over!"r
