Chapter 465
Chapter 465 The Wolf Is Coming
Aaron's POV:
Actually, when I received that phone call from my brother Joe, my heart couldn't stop pounding
I knew that Joe was not someone who would casually break the rules. If he said he wouldn't contact me, he definitely wouldn't cause us any trouble
Unless he encountered a problem that he had to solve with me
Sure enough, I heard him recount how Olive stormed into the Morris estate, questioning his motives for canceling the trip. I also heard him say that on the evening of the incident, there
were many reporters lurking outside our house
All of this drove me crazy
My Olive, I had sworn that I would never let her bear all the pain alone
Less than a year after she got injured in Antarctica, I left her and the children in New York, making her experience the despair and confusion I felt at that time
When the news media from New York kept reporting about my plane crash, I couldn't imagine how sad she must have been
I repeatedly looked through the news, knowing full well that the only person I would be betraying with my plan this time was Olive. But I had no choice, I could only leave her to bear the news of my possible death alone, even if it
pained me so much that I couldn't sleep all night, I had to force myself to hide it from her
Ever since I joined Morris Corporation as CSO, my father has unusually assumed that Joe and I made all the decisions
We did not believe that he accepted the fact that he had grown older and wanted to let go of power and take good care of his health
On the contrary, Joe and I coincidentally
guessed that our father would not just let me transfer power to Joe like that. We were both waiting for the day when he would intervene
So even though those days were unbelievably calm, we still kept our spirits up and paid close attention to every move our father made, until the day he suddenly handed over the decision-making work for the California branch to us, but
left Joe behind unexpectedly on the eve of his business trip
I knew the opportunity had come, but deep inside, I was always very melancholic
No child would be willing to be trapped in a life of constantly calculating with their father, but our father, Mr. Morris, did indeed start to sow discord between me and my brother. Despite our many unwilling emotions, we still had to take this step and face the challenge he threw at us

On the other hand, I also felt sorrow for my wife and children
They didn't have to endure this mental torment originally, but they were forced to face it because of my family. I feel guilty about it, but I am truly powerless
I could only follow the plan and board the plane to California. Before takeoff, I kissed Olive
Throughout the week, I kept up the habit of FaceTiming her until the last call. Before hanging up, I told her that I would be returning soon and not to worry about me
I think Olive must have thought that I was talking about the return trip two days later. She smiled and told me that she would prepare a candlelight dinner for me. Molly is also working hard to learn how to pronounce the word "dad" Everything was happy and peaceful, but I had already been counting down the start of this plan in my heart
However, during this period, there were still unexpected incidents. The night before the scheduled return, I received a notification from New York saying that my father had suddenly
fallen ill and was admitted to the hospital. He requested that I immediately return from California. After thinking for only ten minutes, I dialed Joe's phone and told him that the plan would be advanced but still proceed as usual
And so there was news of the second son of the Morris Group, who was suspected to have been involved in an air crashAll content is © N0velDrama.Org.

To be honest, I didn't consider myself as the heartless person in the father-son relationship
Instead, I felt sorry for Mr. Morris
If it weren't for everything he had done before being too excessive, I don't think I would still be thinking about the so-called plan after he moved into the hospital
In the ancient fable called "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," the shepherd boy had deceived the
people down the hill three times by claiming that his sheep had been carried away by a wolf
The first two times, everyone hurriedly came to his aid, only to be mocked by him for being foolish. Until the last time, when the flock was actually attacked by a wild wolf, no one was willing to believe the shepherd boy anymore
The child watched in loneliness as his sheep was carried away and eaten by the wolf, while Mr. Morris, the old man, lay lonely in his sickbed, waiting only for news of his son's suspected death
Yes, I experienced a hint of revenge pleasure during this fake death
Even if Mr. Morris indeed fell ill suddenly this time, it is no wonder that he had no son by his bedside
It's all his own fault, blame everything he has done in the past
