Chapter 773 A Piece Of Cake

Nicholas had no intention to take Yates seriously since this illegitimate son of his was merely the outcome of a one-night stand he had with a country bumpkin back in Coldbridge.

Initially, he promised to appoint the one who managed to resolve the crisis of the family the chairman of the company to motivate Callum. To his surprise, Yates was the one who managed to acquire Tyrael and Alex's aid.

If he were to honor his promise, Yates would be appointed the chairman of the company as soon as Alex healed David.

However, there was no way he would allow someone he deemed inferior to inherit the business empire he built up.

Back then, he had some fun with Yates' mother during one of his many visits to Coldbridge. Tricking her with flatteries, Nicholas merely wanted to have a good time with the woman instead of starting a relationship.

To his surprise, she ended up pregnant and even gave birth to their son when he made himself clear that things would never work out between them.

He wasn't even aware of the presence of his son until his wife made a huge fuss out of it.

Because of this, Nicholas resented his son for making his life miserable despite the fact that he hadn't even met him.

Being the selfish man that he was, it turned out that Yates wasn't Nicholas' sole illegitimate child. The only difference was that the others were left to fend for themselves.

In Nicholas' mind, those illegitimate children of his were never supposed to exist in the first place and he held their mothers accountable for their miseries.

It was nothing more than a one-night stand! Shouldn't it be common sense that she should abort the baby instead of giving birth to it?

It never fails to get on my nerves whenever I recall the reason he's here! I wouldn't have even acknowledged him if it weren't because of my father! At the end of the day, he's just the son of a country bumpkin! He's not worthy of my time at all! There's no way I'll allow him to inherit the business empire that the Leighton family has built up throughout the years!

In spite of the vicious thoughts he had in mind, Nicholas did a great job carrying himself in a casual

manner.

In order to get rid of David as soon as possible, he requested in a courteous manner, "Dr. Jefferson, can you please do David a favor and treat him as soon as possible?" Yates, who had faith in his so-called father, had the same idea.

David played along and begged, "Dr. Jefferson, can you please hurry along and check on me? I'm really afraid that I'm going to lose my family jewels soon!"

Under the current circumstances, he could only shirk off his pride and dignity because he could no longer stand the excruciating pain coming from his crotch anymore.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even greet Alex, let alone get on his knees in front of the man he deemed inferior to him.

Alex gave David's head a light pat and commented. "It seems like you're getting better at flattering others. huh? Keep up the good job!"

As infuriated as David might be, he forced a smile and kept his frustration to himself "Since you're so pleased by my performance, might I ask you to check up on me now?" Smiling faintly, Alex replied, "Sure, just give me your hand and leave the rest to me."

Without any hesitation, David rolled up his sleeves and showed Alex his wrist.

After a dramatic show of reading his pulse, Alex inched away from David. With a serious look on his face, Alex said. "I'm afraid..."
