Michael entered the hospital room and walked to Harold’s bedside. “Dad… Did you ver miss me all these years?”

Michael sat down, forcing a smile. “Denton and Curtis won’t make it here anytime soon. I’ve got waiting for Curtis at the hotel entrance. If he tries to come to the hospital, my guys will stall hin him busy.”

Michael slowly placed his hand on Harold’s ventilator. “Dad… I don’t want to do this, but

alway favored your grandson. You never cared about me. I’m just trying to survive. How could you not leave me anything?”

Harold’s eyes blazed with anger and shock. He tried to lift a trembling finger, but Michael held him down.

“Dad, I’m sorry.” Michael stood up, took off the old man’s oxygen mask, closed his eyes, and covered his mouth and nose.

There was shock in Harold’s eyes–he hadn’t expected his own son to kill him, all for an inheritance…

He’d spent his life building everything to give Michael and Denton a stable life, but in the end, Michael couldn’t wait to make a move on him.

Just then, the door clicked open. Police rushed in and pinned Michael to the floor.

Michael stared at them, stunned. “How …”

How is this possible? I just got here. How did the police get here so fast?

“Mr. Michael Lincoln, we received a report accusing you of attempted murder. You have to come to the station with us.”

Outside the door, Curtis and Adriana walked in.

Harold was still struggling, trying to speak, but it was hard for him.

Curtis knew what he wanted to say. Even with Michael trying to kill him, all Harold cared about was whether his son would go to jail.

Curtis calmly walked over and helped Harold put the oxygen mask back on.

“Curtis, you set me up!” Michael’s voice shook. He must have realized Curtis had planned it all along.

“I’m Denton’s father. I’m the father of Lincoln Group’s future CEO. He’ll get me a lawyer. You’ll see!!” Michael kept fighting as the police took him away.

“Grandpa, now we have everything on him … I didn’t want to do this, but he brought it on himself.” Curtis sat by the bed, looking at Harold’s hands struggling, veins bulging. He smiled. “Believe it or not, I was ready to let him go. But you made me want him dead again.”

Curtis looked at Harold and spoke again. “Grandpa, don’t worry, he’ll only get a few years in prison. But

my first child… is gone for good.”

Harold stared at Curtis, realizing how vengeful he could be.

He was grateful that he had let Denton take over Lincoln Group. Otherwise, with Curtis’s persona neither Denton nor Michael would have had a good ending after his death.

“Grandpa, I get why you’re wary of me. After all, I can get a bit crazy at times…” Curtis smiled. “But you” don’t really know me. I just hate trouble. I never start anything, but it’s a different story if others cro me…”

It was Harold who had forced open the conflict between Curtis, Michael, and Denton.

It made Curtis relive every painful memory from the past.

“What do you think my mom was thinking when she died?”

Hearing Curtis mention his mother, Harold trembled even harder.

“You’re partly responsible for driving her mad.” Curtis gripped the bed, his gaze burning with hatred. “You raised me because you owe me for that. I don’t owe you anything. The Lincoln Group only got this far because of me. All I ever wanted was a real family, but you just kept hurting my wife and our baby for Denton and Michael…

Harold’s gaze grew dim. He knew Curtis was settling every old score.

He slowly closed his eyes, letting out a long sigh.

“You made one mistake. Instead of scheming against me for Michael and Denton, you should have gotten them as far away from me as possible. The farther, the better. Because after you’re gone, no matter how high they climb, I’ll ruin them.”

Curtis smiled at Harold, then turned to Ernest and the doctors as they entered. “Take good care of Mr. Harold.”

Then Curtis left with Adriana.

Harold took a slow, deep breath and finally stopped struggling,

“Mr. Harold … you should have known, not every child is born good. Mr. Michael was always he even tried to kill you.” Ernest sighed. “Good thing Mr. Curtis got here in time, or the cons would have been terrible.”

Ernest never expected Michael to go straight for Harold’s life.

He’d done everything just to stop Harold from making a will.
