Chapter 314


    Jonas hopped off from Magnusp and began pacing around the room with determination Daddy,” he


    said, “Mommy told me that if you keep moving forward,


    all your bad feelings behind”


    Magnus watched his tiny son with a warmth spreading across his heart. He forced a small smile on his


    face, suppressing his overwhelming sorrow “Jonas, let’s go somewhere,” he proposed


    paused, tilting his head curiously at Magnus Where to?”


    “You’ll see when we get there First, we need to buy some flowers Magnus then instructed May to


    purchase some fresh flowers for a visit to his fathers grave


    May was efficient as always, and quickly aplished the task at hand She sent Magnus off in the car


    providing the driver with the location of the family burial ground before joining them in the backseat


    As the car made its way to the Andersen family gravesite, Magnus felt his strength slowly returning.


    When they arrived, he decided he no longer needed the wheelchair With James and Dr Frankie absent,


    he got up, holding the daisies May had bought, and walked into the cemetery


    Upon reaching his grandfather’s tombstone Magnus carefully ced the flowers and bowed Jonas


    followed suit, copying his father’s actions.


    After three bows. Magnus lifted his head to look at Morgan’s picture on the tombstone Overwhelmed


    with grief, Magnus burst into tears.


    Who said men didn’t cry? They just hadn’t been hurt enough. His cries were heartrending, filled with


    sorrow for not being able to see Morgan onest time and fear of potentially losing Natalia


    Jonas quietly knelt beside Magnus, watching his father cry. He nced at Morgan’s picture on the


    tombstone, his eyes welling up with tears. For the first time in many years. Jonas saw his father cry


    “Father, don’t be sad Jonas said softly, reaching over tofort Magnus If Great–grandpa knew how


    sad you were, he would be upset too.”


    After a good cry, Magnus felt much better. He looked down at Jonas, his face full of concern, and


    patted his head. “Good boy, Jonas. I’m just sad because I didn’t get to say goodbye to my grandpa


    That’s why I’m crying”


    Hearing Jonas soft voice, Magnus felt a renewed strength “Alright, I’m done crying Let’s go Magnus


    stood up, carrying Jonas back to the car. There was no time for sorrow now, there were many things


    that needed his attention.


    Back in the car. Magnus gave a sternmand. “Back to the officeTM

    As the car left the cemetery Magnus closed his eyes ‘Rest in peace, Grandpa,” he thought to himself.


    His thoughts turned to Lucius, who had been given numerous chances but never seemed to learn This


    time, there was no room for forgiveness


    Upon arriving at the office, Magnus stepped out of the car and strode into the busy lobby. The high–end


    office was bustling with employees, all busy with their morning tasks However as Magnus entered, they


    all stopped in their tracks, staring in disbelief


    They had all heard the rumors from Lucius about Magnus‘ drug addiction, but the way Magnus looked


    like now, he looked nothing like an addict


    “Good morning Mr Andersen


    “Hello Mr Andersen


    Without hesitation, the employees greeted Magnus In their minds, the charismatic Magnus had always


    been the true CEO of Andersen Corporation.


    “Mm Magnus responded with a nomittal hum, stepping into the CEO’s private elevator


    Meanwhile, in the spacious conference room, Lucius was angrily mming recent reports onto the


    table, berating the executives and shareholders, “Are you all mad? The stock prices have been


    plummeting! I’ve given you ample time, but you’ve done nothing to save the situation. What on earth


    are you doing?”


    The conference room was filled with long–time shareholders of Andersen Corporation. None of them


    had ever been yelled at by Magnus, let alone Morgan. Now, being scolded by Lucius, they were far


    from pleased


    “The stock price drop is clearly due to the recent scandals involving Andersen Corporation, which have


    nothing to do with us


    “Exactly it was Lucius disregard for thepany’s image and the public reporting of Magnus drug


    scandal that caused this. And with Morgan’s death, the instability in Andersen Corporation is obviously


    making investors uneasy!”


    “As the new president, he couldn’t save the situation, and even pushes the responsibility to us I’ve had


    enough!


    “That’s right Although Magnus was a bit arrogant during his tenure, he handled everything in an orderly


    manner How could such a situation ur under his


    All at once, the conference room erupted into heated discussions The major shareholders were


    extremely dissatisfied with Lucius recent performance and regretted their decision to let him take over


    Andersen Corporation


    Lucius, already seething with frustration, mmed his fist onto his desk in a fit of fury “Enough” He


    roared, his voice echoing menacingly in gripe in my face, I can only imagine what you’re saying behind


    my back if you’re not happy, there’s the door!”


    You sit here and


    The shareholders, in a huff, rose to their feet Fine, we’re done One spat out You really think Andersen


    Corporation is still the same powerhouse at once wi plummeting stocks and decreasing market value


    day by day, we need to pull our investments and cash out before you run uspletely!


    “Yeah” Another chimed in “You’re nothing but aplete waste of space and you have the audacity to


    me us You’re impulsive, reckless, and shortsighted. There’s no way we’re putting our money in the


    hands of someone like you!”


    “Let’s go! A third shareholder dered, his voice filled with disdain “We’ll offload our shares I’ll be


    damned if I take this kind of abuse”
