Samson paused, taking a deep breath before saying heavily, "I don't want to talk anymore. I've already transferred the shares to Aaron, so stop thinking about it. It's no longer your concern." "What?!"
Kevin's face was filled with disbelief. He grabbed Samson's shoulders and shook him violently. "Are you out of your mind? I'm your son! How could you give the shares to an outsider?" "Let... let go..."
Samson, in pain from the shaking, began coughing more violently.
"Stop him!"
Aaron's voice rang out in a low command, and the bodyguards immediately stepped in to pull Kevin away.
Aaron quickly called for the doctors and nurses to attend to Samson.
Kevin's face was twisted with anger, veins bulging on his forehead. He was so close, just one step away!
Selena, frowning in disgust, said, "Throw him out."
"Yes, ma'am."
The bodyguards promptly dragged Kevin out of the hospital room.
Once Samson's condition stabilized, he weakly half-opened his eyes and looked at Aaron. "Aaron, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Take the share transfer papers and leave quickly." Aaron's expression was complicated, his face showing concern and sorrow.
Samson managed a faint smile. "It's alright, child. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I'll finally be free."
Aaron exhaled slowly, then said, "Mr. Samson, please rest. Leave the rest to me."
"Alright."
Samson softly responded, closing his eyes.
As they left the hospital and got into the car, Selena gently took Aaron's hand. "Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. It's those ungrateful children who are to blame." Aaron held her hand, covering his eyes with it. He remained silent for a long time, not saying a word.
The atmosphere in the car was heavy with tension.
After a while, Aaron let go of her hand and kissed the back of it. "Let's head home."
"Okay," Selena replied softly.
In the following days, Aaron and Selena didn't go anywhere else, choosing instead to spend time at the hospital with Samson whenever they could.
On the third day at noon, Samson passed away.
Because of the issue with the shares, Kevin didn't even want to organize a funeral for him. Thankfully, Samson's daughter returned and took charge of arranging the service.
As they left the cemetery, a dark cloud seemed to hang over Aaron's eyes, matching the gloomy weather of the day.
Kendrick and Nathalie, dressed in black, approached from behind. Kendrick frowned as he saw him. "Aaron, what have you been doing lately? Why haven't you been at the company?"
Nathalie added, "If you don't want to take over Fletcher Enterprises, just say it outright."
Aaron turned to look at her. "What do you mean? Are you planning to push me out of the company?"
Nathalie responded, "You never listen to me. You insisted on marrying that woman, which already displeased me. But now she's even bullying your sister. How could I tolerate that? “Aaron, that woman has no status or background. She's not worth everything you're doing for her. If you divorce her, I'll let everything that's happened slide-how does that sound?" The sky grew darker, and a cold breeze swept through, carrying a hint of chill.
Aaron's gaze deepened as he stared at Nathalie. He suddenly stepped closer, closing the distance between them.
Nathalie looked at him, puzzled. "What are you doing?"
Aaron said, "Are you really going to turn against me over an adopted daughter?"
Nathalie's brows furrowed immediately. "What do you mean by that?"
