Chapter 552

“Dad, please, just trust me this one time,” Jude pleaded with Seymour.
“I told you to pull the money out!” Seymour’s agitation triggered another coughing fit, leaving him gasping for air. When Jude tried to hand him a glass of water, he swatted it away. When Jude tried to pat his back, he screamed, “Get out!” Then, his vision went black, and he collapsed onto the bed.
The caregiver, seeing the situation spiral, immediately called for a doctor. After a frantic rush of medical intervention, Seymour slowly regained consciousness.
“Dad, are you feeling any better?” Jude asked, his eyes red with tears.
Too weak to shout anymore, Seymour turned his face away, making it clear he didn’t want to see him. The doctor gently advised Jude, “The patient can’t handle any more stress right now. It would be best for you to step out and let him rest.”
“I understand,” Jude whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
He spent the entire night keeping vigil outside the hospital room. The next morning, after the doctor had checked on Seymour, Jude hoped to go in, but the caregiver informed him that his father still refused to see him.
Standing at the doorway, Jude clenched his fists and spoke in a low, strained voice to the closed door. “Dad, can’t you just believe in me this once? I promise I’ll prove myself this time.”

Sanford had reviewed Perse Tech’s due diligence report and found the risk factor to be quite high. “It’s a promising project, but based on the documents they’ve disclosed, the technology isn’t clearly defined,” Sanford pointed out, voicing his skepticism.
“It’s a high-tech project,” Henry argued. “Of course they can’t reveal too much.” “I still think
Before Sanford could finish, Henry cut in impatiently. “What if I told you one of the heads of Perse Tech is the same person who helped our family all those years ago? Would you invest then?”
Sanford hesitated. Gratitude was one thing, but an investment was another. The two shouldn’t be confused. “Dad, please, just trust me this one time.”
After a moment of contemplation, Sanford relented slightly. “Alright. I’ll approve half the amount you were planning to invest.”
“Dad!”
Sanford raised a hand to stop him. “That’s my final offer.”
Ovel
Though frustrated, Henry knew his father was a man of his word. He had no choice but to accept. With the approval secured Henry immediately called Bianca to confirm his investment in PerseTech. Bianca was delighted. “Henry, welcome aboard We can finally fight side by side.”
Hearing her say the words “side by side,” Henry’s heart skipped a beat.
News of Perse Tech’s new investor quickly spread. Noreen was surprised to see the Brooke Group getting involved. She took another look at PerseTech’s business plan but still found its practical

Her phone rang. It was Seymour. His voice sounded as if it had aged ten years overnight. He asked about Jude, and Noreen told him the truth. When he learned that Jude fiad sold all his shares to make the investment, Seymour fell silent for a long time on the other end of the line.
