Heir

A girl in ripped jeans, black crop top and her long brown hair tied in a pony was standing in front of a man looking in his 80's in a luxurious condo. Her condo.

But right now she felt like it was not her own house but the man. She was thinking back about how she mocked him shamelessly on the call a few hours ago from the hospital, creating a big mess for the man to clear up.

'Ah! Why the fuck I'm even standing in front of this geezer as if I did something wrong.' She moved and sat down in front of him, her arrogant attitude clearly in the display. She sat on the sofa in front of the man with her back straight moving her long slim her other and lazily laying at the backrest, her one hand playing with the keys of her condo while other simply untangling her long hair.

He was looking at her lazy, arrogant attitude. The man didn't know whether too laugh or cry. But, he still had to reprimand her for her mistake. She risked his whole plan to get back at him and used 'saving a boy from dying' as an excuse for it, and this young lady did it with her own hands, making the situation more complicated.

"Evelyn Sander it hasn't even been a day, and you have already started to mess my plans.

"Listen old man, you bought me here. I never wanted to step in this country or be the part of your plan."

Man held his head with his hand, ' Why can't she be obedient?' He shook his head before hardening his tone, " Your silly approach made the situation too complicated, not just it threatened to spoil my plan, but now that kid cannot get justice for himself."

Listening that she put the guy in such a position by helping him made Evelyn frown, "What do you mean? How is it a problem for him to get justice, I reported this to police, the driver will be caught, there were many eyewitnesses too."

The man took a deep breath, "The one who caused the accident is the heir of Zilin Corporation. So his father bribed all the eyewitness and threatened few, he has enough power to get the police to wipe down the CCTV footage. After knowing that kid Richen was sent to the hospital and was in a critical state, he threatened his guardian. You already know that kid is orphan, treatment needs money, so he used money as leverage and made the guardian sign agreement, so that kid can never come after his son by either legal or illegal approach."

"And you won't help him?" Evelyn stood up angrily and looked at the man with her teeth gritting.

"If you haven't disclosed your identity, I would have helped. But now I cannot because it affect business." The man growled.

Evelyn stood stunned.

"You just had to be hasty and do everything without consideration." The man spoke again. His voice clearly showed his tiredness.

"I will be the witness than." She mumbled and started walking towards foyer subconsciously.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? YOU WILL EXPOSE YOUR DAMN IDENTITY AND PROBABLY RISK THE KID'S LIFE MORE THINKING HE IS RELATED TO YOU AND COMPANY." The man yelled at her.

"SO? WHAT DO YOU WANT? ME TO STAND HERE AND LOOK LIKE A COWARD WHILE THAT GUY SUFFERS?" Evelyn shouted in the same way.

*Ding*, Before the man could reply, his phone dinged.

He checked his phone, in the meantime, Evelyn started walking towards door hurriedly. Before she could step out, she heard the man's voice.

"No use. His guardian signed after knowing his critical condition in detail."

The man's words made her stood rooted on the spot. She first handed saw how much that gut Richen was bleeding and how he was trying to stay conscious when she first saw him. He was in so much pain. He must have felt so disappointed seeing no one helping him, not even bothering to call an ambulance for him.

'He must feel so disgusted with these people, including me. How will he feel when he gets to know how easily money was used to stop him from getting justice. Will he hate his life if he knew the one who paid for his operations was the one who caused him in the first place. Will he hate me that even I didn't help him getting justice.'

"I'm Going to my room. You have overstayed your welcome. Please leave."

"Fine. Just don't mess anymore."

Evelyn snorted at his response, 'I dared to help at least, unlike you who being an acquaintance of Richen didn't bother to help him for your so-called plan.'

"William didn't inform me." The man said before disappearing in the lift.

"As if, I will believe a single word of yours, after all that you did geezer." Evelyn slammed her room door shut.

On the other side in the hospital, five teenagers were sitting in front of OT with Miss Mary, Cris returned an hour ago.

"The culprit is the heir of Zilin group 'Zilin Yanze', his father has used all measures to push us in a corner, he was also the reason why Richen surgery didn't start even after that girl and her uncle paid for the treatment start. He already wiped off the evidence against his son. He offered me a condition as Richen's guardian to sign an agreement where it stated Richen our his relatives and acquaintances won't pursue the matter against his son. In return, he will pay for Richen's medical bills and provide him with the best treatment."

Listening to Miss Mary explanation on how everything was arranged for Richen's operation and how they couldn't get back at the brat, all them were going through different emotions. But anger and frustration of not being able to help their friend was the dominating emotion. "Money and Power", they understood how much it's needed o survive in this society.

All five of them silently swore something or other today while they waited for Richen's operation to finish. They had one thing in their oaths common, "Revenge on that damn heir."
