Billionaire Ascendancy

Chapter 18

The moment I said such words, the two of them attacked me, forgetting the fact that they were just quarreling at each other before which I didn’t bother to respond back to them. It will be a waste of energy if I follow them to quarrel this evening. Checking the time, the time was clicking to (4pm) we got back home not quite long and some of them came down from the car Angrily. Not giving anybody face. When we entered the house, the first person we saw was Katherine, who seemed to be watching her favorite movies. She stood up immediately on seeing the three of us inside the setting room, probably to question dad and uncle how today goes but uncle’s sad countenance told her something wasn’t right. While dad’s happy countenance made her ponder on why he was happy. In curiosity, she chose to know the truth from them.

*****What happened Harper? Why are you smiling and he’s sad? Katherine wanted to know the reason behind Richard ‘s sadness. He cared about Richard then the smiling Harper who seemed so happy. “Well mother, “I finally won the bid! I had won the opportunity to work with the Maxwell division group mother! And I’m a really happy mother”. The jovial Harper said cheerfully, not seeing the sad side of his mother who had wished his uncle would have been given Such an opportunity instead of him. “Congratulations son! For having such an opportunity to work with the Maxwell division group! It must not have been easy for you”. Katherine congratulated him although she wasn’t happy. She had wished for Richard to take this position instead of him. But since he was unable to take the position, she only sees him as nothing but a total loser on how he lost the bid to his little brother who should be learning from him. Katherine turned to look at the sad Richard who couldn’t utter anything but looked at her in embarrassment and whispered something into his ears. “You’re nothing but a disgrace to this family Richard, why are you embarrassing me in front of these small kids? Why can’t you win the bid? Why must you have to lose this time around? Katherine whispered to him as his head burst. He was almost at the point of crying.

After whispering Such painful words to him, Katherine cleared her throat to proclaim the announcement she had been holding for a while.

“It’s obvious that Harper had passed all the tests and for that he’s entitled to become the Heir to the black family”. Katherine’s statement caused waves in Richard Body after hearing what she just said. Richard wasn’t thinking straight again, he wouldn’t accept the defeat. He wouldn’t accept that he had been beaten by Harper who he was senior to for almost six years. On seeing him jubilating after Katherine called the results, he immediately rushed towards him and gave him a punch in the Face which startled and made him doubt why he’s trying to cause a war between them. Richard’s actions really leave him dumbfounded and confused. That his own brother could not give him his own blessing if they won something like this but instead he’s fighting him. On remaining everything that had happened today, Harper punched him back, straight to the face, not minding the fact that he was his Elder brother. But unfortunately, Harper passed out due to the blow Richard had been giving him before he could retreat back at him. At this moment, Richard could only widen his eyes in surprise. Trying to understand what just happened******

I never thought these issues could result in fighting and this thing is happening right now. I rushed dad who had collapsed due to too much punch he was receiving from uncle and at this moment, uncle had retreated his step. He was currently startled at the result of his actions as he let go of dad the moment he found him on the ground. Why did he stop? He would have continued to hit him up until he’s dead if he really wanted to take his position of becoming the heir to the Black family. Katherine could only panic at the downfall of dad. Of course she was shocked. She didn’t know the fight could result in this but I blame her anyway. “What have you done Richard? Do you want to kill your brother? I Heard her rasping at him while trying to call the security guard who will help me take dad to my car so that he can be taken to hospital for treatment. All those while, uncle was just panicking, not contributing any help to him. The security guard came as he helped me carry him to the car.

Everybody all enters the car including Uncle as we find our way to a nearby hospital. On our way there, I gave Raven, who was at work, a call. She needs to know the conditions of her father before anything wrong happens. “Raven, you need to come to Saint Mary hospital right now! Your father collapsed and we are taking her to hospital right now”. I shrugged over the phone before she could talk and I didn’t give her the opportunity to say what she wanted to say. “Why did you call her? Must you have to announce what happened to everyone? Uncle scolded me the moment he knew it was actually Raven who I had called to let her know of the situation.

“I think that was the right thing for me to do uncle! It’s important that she should know whatever that’s happening to her father”. I disagree with his thoughts, trying to make him understand my reason as he scoffed.

“And when do you even start to question me back or talk to me rudely? It seems like you’re forgetting your place in this family which is the reason why I need to let you know that you’re nothing but just a useless rotten rag who will be kicked out of the family very soon”. Uncle throws Such words at me as I bite my lips.

“What about you uncle? You’re nothing but a wicked greedy person who wants to kill his own brother because of a mere position”. I challenged him back as his eyes widened open.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Did you just say that to me?” I received Such questions with a slap as my ear turned deaf for a while.
