The lives of three persons were ruined just to keep a fact secret. The pain and suffering of the whole family was too much. Although the time passed is not little and the scene of that day may not be that clear. The person who was killed was their daughter. The only child of the family. The casualty was excruciating.
He remembered the two old couple packed the only picture of his mother first before anything. He saw the genuine mother of Ricardo and felt that she deserved an honest man who could love her despite any situation. This shouldn't be the life she lived. On the way, he also got to know that some people from the city came and used to collect money from the old couples for years now. If they cannot pay the amount then they are beaten.
Ace cannot even imagine losing something that precious. If Aaron were to be treated this way he would go mad. Madness is not an accurate word to describe his insanity and beast-like nature. He will never tolerate anyone. No one can bear the weight of his rage.
The scene of Aaron nearly losing his breath is still intact in his mind.
Although it is not his family he doesn't understand why he is feeling so angry. His wrath is massive but he held it down before doing anything. It is his old obsession with doing things calmly, never on impulse. The Lennox has no notion the happy days are coming to an end.
As the saying goes, 'the old fox never changes until they see the door of death with their own eyes.' Lennox is the same.
They are still uploading constant news of Ricardo being a brat, who knows nothing. Today even a video recording was published. Which, they have shown his room messed up. Mrs. Lennox is talking taking a deep breath to show her greatest concern, "I'm very hurt to see Ricardo being so rebellious. We always wanted to make him the best elite man in the upper echelon. I never thought he would do something so wrathful like actually spreading erroneous news."
She shed tea tears and her voice sounded too sad, "I don't know what was missed in my love for him as a mother. But if it is because of me, I am very sorry Ri. Please come home son."
Saying this she almost but didn't collapse on the stairs. The surrounding reporters were shocked to see her terrible condition. They already gave spicy news headlines about Ricardo. Mrs. Lennox was taken to rest room. After entering the room she smirked. Waving her hands she gestured to touch up her face. A while later she looked so weak and innocent. Makeup is a terrible thing.
All the time her heart was blooming with flowers. She accomplished the task of cleaning Lennox and making Ricardo a terrible son. A bastard in the true sense. She scrolled down the most recent news and satisfied her desire to see others following her lead.
At home, the father and son prepared to announce the inauguration of the new CEO of Lennox. Mr. Lennox is pretty happy seeing the effect of their plan. Even Jim is smiling wide enough to become a smiley face poster. This is too fulfilling in the true sense.
At the hostel, Aaron saw everything and didn't do anything but study. He is not apprehensive about Ace because his system will notify him if anything occurs. Aaron is calm as well as Ace is. Kent had a chat with Sain and got to know about everything. He also sat next to Aaron but didn't do anything else but play a match. He doesn't know why but staying near to Aaron makes him feel reassured. He doesn't know why there is a need for reassurance. Sera is doing her library duty.
Everyone is busy after their exams for their daily classes. The daily news does not affect the institution. Ricardo is coming for classes as usual and he is doing incredible in his academic courses. Everyone around them also didn't care much about outside news.
However, the announcement of the preface of the new CEO of Lennox Group caused an upheaval in the minds of several families. Many cannot help but ask the Lennox group for further input. They get to know very few details about the event. But the real uproar was due to the visitor list that Lennox fitted out on the internet. The first and foremost is the HUB GROUP. They invited the most controversial person to be the chief guest of their event. Some asked the chief of Lennox this question, 'Why is the chief guest of the event HUB GROUP's CEO? Isn't this a way to make Ricardo wrong?'
But the reply was very reasonable. He said, not forgetting to put up a good image, "We are very honored to have the CEO of HUB GROUP as our chief guest. Many times people have tried to correlate with him but couldn't. This time he is invited, so Mr. And Mrs. Lennox could cordially apologize for their son's mistake. This can assist us in having a safe relationship with HUB and we cannot afford to offend them in any case. LENNOX GROUP has been flourishing for decades and in the future too there won't be any reason for its halt in development. Thank You." He conveyed all this with a slight smile.
Seeing this video recording on the news channel Ace smiled and said to Sain who was standing beside him, "Get ready for the upcoming events. I'm very interested in this formal apology event." He turned the TV off and glimpsed outside at the two elders who were happy in the garden.
Sain saw him looking out and said, "Ri don't worry they will be fine with time. No one can adjust so soon to the new domain. Let alone them. Thinking about their ailment of the past it would take additional years to accept all you want to give."
Ace smiled and mumbled, "I know. Just thought it was too late."Yeah, things happened too late. He was too late. Everything happened too fast. He turned his head and saw the picture of Lise Roy and regretted it again. Presuming about the past life of everyone in this world he cannot help but express his discontentment. He felt revolted towards Lennox more than he felt towards Zoie.
