Chapter 78

Huxley, who was lying in the hospital bed, didn't sleep well last night. His head wound caused intermittent bursts

of pain, making him miserable. Since he could remember, he had never gotten hit or bruised. He didn't know

what pain was like, much less suffer such a grave injury!

Although Mildred hired a caregiver, she stayed with Huxley all night. Seeing her son's suffering pained her

deeply as well. In the early morning, she went hfor a short nap before returning to the hospital with the

pumpkin stew the housekeeper cookeil

"Mikayla, are you happy to seelike this?" Huxley asked.

Mikayla stood beside her parents, looking at Huxley. Tim sorry about what happened"

"What's the use of being sorry? If you and your fiance hadn't embarrassed Huxley in public, he wouldn't have

been beaten up by sruffians."

f Mildred's face was grim.

Mikayla frowned.

"Jorge, shouldn't you explain towhy your daughter and your future son-in-law hurt Huxley?" Logan fumed.

Jorge had already made up his mind before coming. He had a good relationship with Gordon and called had

called him before visiting. Gordon was at his wits end, for Logan had used his connection to pressure the police

into detaining Xavier. Jorge thought. If giving up my title as the chairman will ensure peace for my family and

resolve this issue, then | don't mind doing it. It's just that my family legacy will be...

He was about to speak when Mikayla cut in. She remembered why she cto visit, so she didn't immediately

refute Logan's words. She lowered her voice and said, 'Uncle Logan, I'm sorry for what happened last time. Will

you forgive me!!

"No way! Either ask your fiance to lose a hand and apologize in public, or you give up your position as chairman,

Logan glanced at Mikayla and Jorge with contempt.

Tve made it clear about what happened last time. It was self-defence. Everyone there saw that it was Huxley

who wanted to hit me. If it weren't for Carlos, | would've been injured! | was hoping that Huxley would be aware

of his problem." Mikayla spoke calmly and honestly.

Mildred stood up, grumbling, "What? How dare you act righteous after hitting someone?"

"Mikayla, it's not your turn to speak. I'm the eldest son of the Salvatore family! Huxley is now an adult and has

completed his education. Your dad has also reached retirement age. It's tto land over the position of

chairman," Logan shouted angrily and domineeringly as he slammed the

table.

"Sorry, | can't obey that!" Mikayla was not to be outdone.

Jorge stepped before his brother. Logan, how about this? Ill give you an additional 1 million dollars from the

company's yearly dividends. When Hurley can manage the company, I'll give him my position Please don't make

things hard for Xavier."

| million dollars was not a small sum, but Jorge was

as willing to pay if he could resolve this dispute. He was willing to pay a little more for the company's survival.

After all, he truly didn't feel comfortable handing over the company to Huxley now.

"No way!" Hurdley shouted harshly on the bed, looking frustrated. Twon't let Xavier off the hook!"

"Yeah! If Huxley lets him off the hook this time, anyone will think it's okay to bully my son in the Future Mildred

was so angry that her voice becshrill

"Mildred, what are you talking about... Jorge didn't know what to say.

Logan looked away, sullen. "We'll meet in count if you refuse to hand over the company?

"Logan!" Jorge tried to persuade him.

"Dad, Mom. Let's got Uncle Logan and his family won't change his mind Mikayla grabbed Jorge's arm. She

mused, | finally saw their true colors.

"Logan, | don't want this issue to affect our families relationship. | hope you'll accept my offer, Jorge stated. With

that, he left with his wife and daughter.

The moment Mikayla closed the ward door, she heard Mildred say, "She's trying to fool us with I million dollars,

Logan! We mustn't agree to it, or we'll always be looked down upon by outsiders who think we're pushovers!"

She mused. It seems that they're determined to win the chairman title. | wanted to show them my concern, and

didn't expect our relationship to worsen. She checked the tand saw that it was almost noon, so she rode

hwith Jorge and Sylvia, planning to have lunch with them before returning to the office

Noticing that Jorge had been quiet since leaving the hospital, Sylvia said worriedly, Jorge, we've done what we

could"

Chapter 78

"I'm fine!" Jorge replied.

Dad, Uncle Logan and his family refused to listen to us and won't show us mercy. They're only after your

position!" Mikayla said.

There were no outsiders in the car, as Josiah was the driver.

Sylvia sat next to forge while he sat in the middle. Mikayla shared her analysis. "Dad, you should be prepared

mentally if Uncle Logan wants to go against us in court. As your daughter, | support you. But, | don't want you to

hand the Salvatore Group to Huxley. Our ancestors passed it down to us and you've devoted your life to it-we

can't let hin ruin it."

"Hubby. | support you too! Sylvia linked arms with Jorge while he held her hand and nodded.

"Mm-hmm, got it. | won't hand over Salvatore Group just like that?" Jorge replied.

Mikayla smiled at her dad. She thought, If he hands it over just like that, he'll definitely regret it in the future.

Well, if Huxley is capable and understanding. | wouldn't be so against him taking control. It's too bad that Uncle

Logan and his family are such a disappointing bunch

"By the way. Mika, how is Xavier!" Jorge and Sylvia visited Huxley today, hoping to reconcile their relationship

and do Xavier a favor. After all, Mikayla, Juliet, and Xavier were close, while Jorge, Sylvia, and Gordon were good

friends. They watched Juliet and Xavier grow and treated the two like their own

"Dad, Mom, don't worry! Carlos will help out." Mikayla received a call from Juliet this morning, saying that Xavier

couldn't bailed out. When she heard that, she wanted to cover and ask Logan and his family for mercy.

Unfortunately, she was too naive to think they would be so forgiving. In the end. she had to ask Carlos for help

"I haven't seen him since we had dinner last time!" Jorge sighed.

"He has something to do and will cback the day after tomorrow" Mikayla's ears burned red when she

thought of last night. Fortunately, Jorge and Sylvia didn't notice it because she was sitting on the side. "Your

wedding day is drawing neart When he returns, get him to eat dinner with us at home: Jorge continued

"Okay," Mikayla answered.
