Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 770

For his son's sake, Christopher was willing to risk it all.

He completely abandoned his collapsing company.

His only focus was doing whatever it took to cure his boy.

-

Victor Ellington was out fishing, and Theresa was right there with him.

"Dad, are you seriously just going to let those guys do whatever they want? They're practically stepping all over me."

"I can't interfere anymore. You're the one who needs to handle them. After all, they're my cousins; it wouldn't look good for me to publicly humiliate them. But it's different for you. You're the younger generation. Even if you cause a scene, their hands are tied. Once you officially take over the Ellington Group, whatever you decide to do with them will be entirely your call."

Theresa hadn't told Victor about what happened in Myantara. She merely claimed she had been stressed and needed to travel abroad for a while.

Victor hadn't pushed for details.

"Right, I get it, Dad. So I guess I'll just head back to the office! But there's still so much going on at the company..."

Theresa was just about to launch into a full-blown rant about the various departments, but Victor cut her off.

"Alright now, didn't you say you were going to fish with me? Let's drop the company talk. It's rare we get a moment of peace like this."

Theresa curled her lip but obediently clamped her mouth shut.

Just then, the butler approached.

"Chairman, there is a man named Christopher Maddox asking to see you."

Victor frowned. "Who is Christopher Maddox? Never heard of him. Tell him I'm busy and don't have time."

"I already tried to send him away with the usual excuses, but he absolutely refuses to leave. He claims it's a matter of life and death, and that he desperately needs to speak with you."

"A matter of life and death? If it's that serious, let him in."

"And what can I do for you today, Mr. Maddox? I heard you mention a matter of life and death. What exactly is going on?"

"Mr. Ellington, the truth is, my son recently suffered a terrible accident. Right now, Seraphis Private Clinic is the only place equipped to save him. But the clinic isn't open to just anyone. I came to beg you, please take pity on my son. Save him. He's my only child."

As he spoke, Christopher feigned overwhelming emotion, forcing out a tear and hastily wiping it away.

Victor sighed. "I can understand a father's love. I have a child of my own, after all. But while Seraphis Private Clinic might officially fall under the Ellington family's umbrella, it doesn't actually belong to us. The owner is someone else entirely. You should speak with her. If she agrees to take him, I certainly won't stand in the way."

Christopher was completely stunned. "You're saying there's another owner of Seraphis Private Clinic?"

He had been begging the wrong person this entire time!

"Yes. I'm getting on in years, and I just want to enjoy a quiet retirement. I'm already preparing to hand the company over to my daughter. Now, Mr. Maddox, if there isn't anything else..."

Victor's implication was crystal clear.

Christopher practically jumped out of his chair. "Of course, of course. I won't take up any more of your time."
