Chapter 68

Jack's decision to cut costs by purchasing substandard building materials led to the previous crisis as the project ultimately failed to meet inspection standards. The regulatory authorities refused to approve it, so the property couldn't be sold. As a result, Jack quickly became overwhelmed by the daily losses of millions.

If I could confithat this crisis was caused by the same issue, Jack would no longer be able to use Grandma as a threat against me, and I could finally bring her to live with me. Since I didn't have any classes in the afternoon, I went to Eren's studio to organize his design drafts and didn't finish until about 5:00 pm.

During this time, Liam still hadn't responded to my messages, but I didn't think much of it. Just as I was about to lock up and leave, I heard a heavy thud coming from the bedroom. Startled, I grabbed the pepper spray from my bag and cautiously made my way toward the noise, Outside the bedroom door, I found someone lying on the floor

I froze for a moment, then squatted down to check his breathing Thankfully, he was still alive, though he had a fever.

He was as hot as a furnace. I called an ambulance and patted his shoulder. "Sir, sir, are you clory?"

The person lay face down on the floor, so I couldn't see his face or identify him. He was tall and strong, and I couldn't move him, so I wasted patiently. Fortunately, the ambulance arrived swiftly, and we reached the hospital in about half an hour. After the examination and IV drip, I realized that the handsome, slightly tanned man lying in the hospital bed was none other than my boss, Eren.

Glancing at the clock, I realized it was already past 9:00 pm. I had been trying to reach his family for hours but with no success.

Looking around, I saw that every bed had a companion. I gave up on going back to school and sat in the chair next to the bed, staring at the IV drip. Gradually, my eyelids grew heavy. Drowsiness washed over me, and I had no idea when I fell asleep.. When I woke up, I felt someone bucking a blanket around me. I opened my eyes and saw Erhan in front of me.

Thinking it was just a dream, I tried to turn away, but when I saw the smile on Ethan's face, I was instantly wide awake. I sat up straight and frowned. "Why are you here?"

Ethan looked amused by my question. He raised an eyebrow and joked, "To kidnap you, of course

He then pretended to be a menacing vain, holding up his hands. I glanced at him and he chuckled.

Pointing at the unconscious man on the bed, he said, "Your boss is my brother."

"Your brother?" I repeated, turning to glance at the man lying on the bed.

I thought than was an only child. So where did this brother come from? Besides, this man clearly didn't look anything like Ethan

"Not the same parents," than explained, noticing my confusion.

He slipped his hands into his pockets and continued, "He's my aunt's son. My aunt left the family my grandfather had arranged for her when she was 25. She moved abroad and cut off all contact with him, and she's never come back. "When I was little, my dad and I went searching for her overseas, and we've stayed in touch ever since. My brother just came back recently for work."
