touch the projects. That’s the only reason disaster didn’t strike sooner. Didn’t warn you after Aria left!
“I told you to keep Andrew on the payroll, but don’t let him touch anything important. Did you listen? Did you? You can’t run this company, but Arts can But no, you had to fall for that shallow Hannah and divorce Atia. If she hadn’t left, none of this would have happened?”
Liam’s mind reeled. A diploma mill? That can’t be
Bryant quietly picked up a stack of documents and handed them over.
The evidence was undeniable. Liam had no choice but to believe it. His eyes blazed with shock and anger as he glared at Andrew. “You lied to me.”
Daniel’s voice was cold and sharp. “Call the police. Take him away”
“No!” Andrew shrieked, scrambling for the door. He needed his sister; only she could save him.
But staff wrestled him to the floor before he could escape. The whole room echoed with his terrified cries and curses hurled at Daniel
“Shut up!” Liam snapped, kicking him in fury.
Moments later, the phone rang. The Shaw Group was calling–they were canceling all cooperation with the Cole Group.
The news hit Daniel like a hammer; he collapsed on the spot.
“Daniel”
“Call an ambulance!”
Panic erupted.
Andrew was dragged away by police. Daniel was rushed to the hospital.
But the company’s crisis was far from over,
“Doctor, how’s my grandfather?” Liam rushed forward, breathless
The doctor’s face was grave. “He suffered a brain hemorrhage from the shock. He’s stable for now, but he must be kept under observation–he can’t handle any more stress.”
Thank you, doctor, Liam and Bryant helped settle Daniel into a hospital room.
The Cole Group was collapsing. The Shaw Group was backing out, Daniel was in the hospital with a brain hemorrhage… Liam’s mind wasa blank; he had no idea how to deal with this avalanche.
Suddenly, Aria’s face flashed through his thoughts. Was she this frantic during the last financial crisis too?
Bryant had been silent all this time, but how he hesitated before speaking. “Sir, Mr. Cole hasn’t taken his medication this month.”
“The herbal prescription from that famous doctor?”
“Yes,” Bryant’s face was etched with worry. “Mr. Cole was so focused on the chip project, he cut back household spending, let go of a lot of stall. He thought the medicine was too expensive, not worth it, so he stopped. Mrs. Cole and Miss Cole complained, but
Liam’s knees nearly buckled; he had to steady himself on the wall

Daniel had always been the rock of the family.
As long as Daniel was there, no crisis was insurmountable.
He couldn’t believe Daniel would skip life–saving medicine just to save three hundred thousand dollars, How had the Cold family sank sa le
But there was still a way–he could ask Aria to come back.
Frantically, Liam opened his phone and saw the photo Hannah had sent. He recognized Aria’s car and felt a pang ‘She’s already moved on
But he had bigger problems. He scrolled to Aria’s name and called her
At that moment, Derek was snoring in the passenger seat, Arla declined the call without hesitation. When
Diam called again, she ignored if just as coldly.
Fury crept across Liam’s face. “What is she doing? Why won’t she pick up?
“Bryant, hire two caregivers, Grandfather’s your responsibility. I’m going to find Aria. With that, he strode out of the room.
Bryant shook his head, sighing.
Only now did Liam realize what he’d lost. In those two years, Bryant’s job as housekeeper had been a breeze–now, he barely got a wink of sleep. Liam was deluding himself. There was no way Aria would ever return to the Cole Group
