Without the ventilator’s assistance, his eyes flew open wille, and his breathing became rapid and shallow.

Watching him struggle right before her eyes, Madilyn le out a low, chilling laugh.

Holding the disconnected oxygen tube, she sneered, “Ts, tsk… isn’t this the perfect way to go? That helpless feeling as it all slips away. You should have died a long time ago. You’re a hard one to kill, I’ll give you that.

“I put slow–acting toxins in your food back then, and still you hung on. You stubborn old fool, clinging to life with everything you had. Well, let’s see if you can open your eyes after this.”

Madilyn tossed the breathing mask aside. It clattered onto the floor, and Charles‘ eyes widened further in panic.

He struggled for air, his mouth gaping as he tried to draw a breath, but without the machine, he lacked the strength to even inhale properly.

A final, furious glare was fixed on Madilyn. He tried to raise a hand, to press the call button–but his arm wouldn’t obey. Slowly, his frantic movements grew weaker, until his entire body went still.

Charles took his last breath. On the medical monitors, the rhythmic lines began to falter, the numbers plummeting until every reading settled into a flat, silent trace.

Seeing this, Madilyn’s eyes turned to ice.

“Should have happened sooner. You old relic had no business lingering. Go join your useless son wherever he ended up.”

Madilyn reached out and checked for breath under Charles‘ nose. Only after confirming there was none did she withdraw her hand. Quickly, she picked up the mask from the floor and placed it back over his face, adjusting everything to look exactly as it was before. She then walked to the door, turned the lock, and left it slightly ajar.

She cast one final glance at the motionless figure on the bed, then roughly tousled her own hair, making herself look disheveled and drained.

Satisfied, Madilyn began to shout, her voice cracking with feigned desperation.

“Someone… Someone help! Charles… Something’s wrong!”

At her cries, the bodyguards stationed nearby were the first to rush over. Taking in the scene, they immediately started making calls.

Soon, doctors arrived, then nurses, followed by the elders of the Myers family. Finally, Arthur hurried in as well.

The hospital corridor descended into noise and tense, hushed arguments–whether it was family members or Myers Group executives, Madilyn paid them little mind. She just sat quietly in a chair nearby, watching it all unfold.

To any observer, she appeared utterly devastated, too shocked to speak. In truth, she was privately exulting. She could barely contain the urge to cheer. So she remained still and silent, calmly absorbing everyone’s varied reactions.

Heh!

Cry all you want.

Argue, make a scene—none of it changes a thing.

The Myers legacy… is mine now.

Heh heh heh!

Madilyn couldn’t suppress a soft, almost inaudible chuckle.

“Mrs. Myers, please accept our condolences. Given Charles‘ grave condition, passing suddenly like this… in a way, it is a release from suffering.” Someone nearby, mistaking her shifting expression for overwhelming grief, stepped forward to offer comfort.

Madilyn paid no attention. She just kept that quiet, inward smile to herself. No one knew why she was smiling–only she held the reason.

News of Charles‘ death reached the media quickly. Outlets rushed to publish the story, accompanied by photos of the Myers family members arriving at the hospital in distress. The reports were sparse on details but ripe with speculation.

With Charles gone, would there be a shift in the power structure at Myers Group?

With Charles gone, what would become of the 51% controlling stake held in his name? This became the burning question on everyone’s mind.

People were intensely curious about who would ultimately control Myers Group. Could Arthur, who had been running the company as President, smoothly ascend to the role of Chairman?

The fate of Charles‘ majority stake wasn’t just a topic of public gossip–it concerned every shareholder and executive within Myers Group as well.

Reporters camped outside Myers Group headquarters, Hoping to get a statement from Arthur himself.

In the end, they didn’t get Arthur. Instead, a corporate spokesperson addressed the media on the company’s steps, urging them to disperse.

The statement clarified that, following Charles‘ passing, the entire family was in mourning. Arthur was currently unable to attend to media or public inquiries, as he was devoting all his energy to funeral arrangements. They asked for the public’s understanding and for privacy during this difficult time.

After that, Myers Group made no further comment.
