Chapter 1696
Outside Aldridge Estate.
The secretary saw Colby walking back from Aldridge Estate and immediately got into the car. The secretary asked, "Mr. Colby, where to next?" "The office."
Colby pulled out his phone and skillfully dialed a number.
However, the line was busy.
Seeing his boss's uneasy expression, the secretary couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Colby, are we going back?"
"No, to S Corporation."
"Understood."
Colby's heart was filled with unease; he hoped things wouldn't be as bad as he feared.
Inside S Corporation, all the employees were busy, hardly anyone noticed Colby striding into the company.
It was Tricia who spotted Colby first. A puzzled look crossed her face as she asked, "Mr. Colby? What brings you here at this hour? Didn't Ms. Sophie come with you?" Halfway through his path, Colby suddenly stopped, then immediately turned around and headed back outside.
The secretary followed Colby, watching as he went from walking to briskly stepping and then to running. He seemed to have lost all his rationality, his usual calm and depth. His bewildered expression was like that of a lost child.
The secretary could only follow him, repeatedly asking where they were going next.
In the central hospital of Devonport.
The hospital corridors were empty except for Rick and Harold standing on one side.
In the meeting room, several experts with grim expressions walked out.
Harold almost immediately headed towards the meeting room.
On the blackboard were medical terms and professional jargon that were beyond his comprehension. Gordon, dressed in a hospital gown, sat in the empty meeting room.

"Brother..."
Harold crouched down a bit, looking at Gordon, whose pale face was smiling. He gripped Gordon's hand a bit tighter.
"Now, you are the head of the
Aldridge family. The first thing a leader must do is to keep emotions in check How did I teach you before? Have you forgotten everything just because I haven't been by your side for a few months?"
There was no sternness in Gordon's tone, only fondness for his brother.
"Bro, I'll accompany you into the operating room. We'll be okay, everything will be fine!" Harold's eyes were full of pleading.
He had always lived under his brother's protection.
With his brother there, he could afford to play the profligate son without fear.
He didn't want those eyeing the Aldridge family to use him as a chip to attack his brother.
He played the fool, hid his talents, becoming known as the family's good-for-nothing.
Because in his heart, his brother was the most suitable person to lead the Aldridge family. No one could do it better than Gordon in this world.
In the end, Gordon gently stroked
Harold's head, just like he did wheret
Harold was younger, praising
brother for his intelligence entnovelbin
But this time, Gordon said nothing.
He resumed his usual demeanor, no longer looking at the only brother he had in this world.
Gordon said calmly, "Rick, let's go in."
"Yes, sir."
"Bro! Let me go with you, let me stand by you! Brother!"
No matter how much Harold pleaded, Gordon didn't look back.
