Extra 29: Moving Forward

Fortunately, the doctors gave the family good news: George was in good health, and there were no lasting effects from the fall. Nothing else happened, alleviating Elliot's fear that his father might have injured his hip or broken a bone from hitting the floor and desk.

When he was released from the hospital, George felt like it was his birthday because all his grandchildren spent the entire day with him, pampering and taking care of him.

However, he was worried about Roger, since the complaints had escalated from arguments to physical assaults. The sad part was that this confirmed that his sons' relationship was broken and would never recover.

He had also heard that Elliot was planning to send Roger to prison-the place he deserved to be after what he did, and understandably so. George felt conflicted, as part of him agreed while another part did

not.

There was also the issue with those women... God.. his son really knew how to pick them... At least that model girl, Sophia, never went that far. He found out that she got her redemption when he saw on the news that she married a prominent lawyer and was now a good housewife.

This meant his son was the real problem, and it was his now-deceased ex-wife's fault for poisoning the relationship between his children.

Now his concern was James because he could see that he already showed hatred towards Roger.

He sincerely didn't want that to happen, but his son hadn't done much to prevent it either. He also noticed that Roger was raising that girl to hate and envy everyone around her. That's why he didn't want to recognize or show her any affection; he knew that sooner or later, she would try to use him under the guise of family love.

It took him a week to return to the company, and when he arrived, he noticed the changes Elliot had implemented: there was more security to protect all the staff working there, and everyone was instructed that no one could enter without an appointment. Anyone who helped Roger or that girl get into the office would be fired without severance.

"Good morning, sir," Fabian greeted him as he stepped out of the elevator.

"Good morning. How are you, young man?" George asked, worried as he remembered Fabian had also been assaulted.

"I'm better now, it was just a bruise," Fabian replied, touching his right shoulder. "And you?"

"I'm fine, it was just a bump, no lasting effects."

"That's great to hear, sir. I was honestly worried, especially considering your age."

"Hey! Are you calling me old?" George asked with a chuckle.

Well, Grandpa is Grandpa," Howard said as he came out of the main office after hearing his grandfather's voice before running over to hug him.

"Howie," George greeted, returning the gesture. "What are you doing here so early?"

"I've got the mission to take care of you."

"Oh... so you're going to be my bodyguard?"

"Yep," he said happily.

George smiled at that.

"By the way, my uncle sent something yummy for breakfast," Howard said, taking his hand to lead him to the office, where sandwiches and juice were already served. "Oh... how delicious," he said, looking at the food.

"And they're your favorites," Howard said excitedly

"We'll have to thank your uncle later for this delicious meal."

"Yep, and look," Howard said, pointing to the office TV, which now had a gaming console hooked up. "Dad let me bring our favorite video games to play for a bit. "Did you bring the racing one?"

"Yep," Howard said, showing him the disc, which made George laugh.

"Howie..." They turned to see Erika entering the office. "Oh, haha, you're all set up."

"Yes, Mommy, we're ready."

""Erika, where's my son?"

"He went to handle some business at the jewelry stores. Meanwhile, I'll be here with you, since I have to review the sales reports today."

"How did your collection do?"

"Great, George," she said excitedly, sitting down at the desk. "You know, Elizabeth's idea of making an imitation of the main collection was a success. Mothers bought the fantasy pieces for their daughters so they could match without worrying about them losing or breaking the jewelry."

"They marketed the concept smartly, so it was bound to attract the families' attention."

"Quite a lot, so much so that even the fantasy pieces are sold out," Fabian said as he entered with some folders in his hands.

"Really? All of them are sold out?" George asked, surprised,

*Yep,

all the colors are gone," Fabian said. "The collection became very popular, and even big stores placed generous orders for each color to have them in their inventory."

George took the reports and was amazed at the numbers. They weren't as high as the main collection's, but it was still a generous amount for being just plastic and crystal beads.

Erika chatted with her father-in-law about the results and her plans for new designs to release small independent collections while waiting for the company's big launch and doing a replica version like this

time.

George felt proud listening to his daughter-in-law excitedly discuss the company's new projects. It was Chapter 338

clear

that her passion was genuine.

Honestly, he felt a bit jealous of his son. He had wished Isabelle would have acted like Erika, supporting him in his projects instead of just demanding the latest pieces from the new collections they created.

He was thrilled to see his son and his wife had a true passion for jewelry making. Now he was convinced he had made the best decision by giving the company to his younger son instead of giving Roger a second chance.
