Back then, the Storms had forced Peyton to marry Beverly, who was from an equally prominent family. It caused quite a stir at the time. Now, unexpectedly, a second heir had appeared. It looked like the Storms were going to get interesting! From Ariana and Drake's words, everyone vaguely understood the situation. When everyone came back to their senses, Drake continued, "Originally I wanted Elijah to enter the Storm Group, but unexpectedly this boy is so sensible. He said Zaden has been managing the company very well and he doesn't want to compete with Zaden. He voluntarily chose to come to the hospital instead." Drake's meaning was crystal clear. Elijah wouldn't go to the Storm Group but would choose to manage this hospital. It sounded like he was indeed making a concession. However, Zaden's brow furrowed. Just then, he spoke up. "Grandpa, I'm not opposed to letting him enter the company." Zaden no longer held any illusions about his father and knew he didn't like him. He wasn't a child anymore, constantly trying to win his father's affection and doing his best to be perfect. Athena was at the hospital. Zaden didn't feel comfortable handing the hospital over to others. He was also worried that if something happened to Athena, he wouldn't be able to protect her in time. So he'd rather Elijah enter the company than stay here at the hospital. Peyton glared at Zaden with displeasure and said to him, "No one's coming into the company to compete with you. Isn't that good enough? "Why are you making a fuss? Your mother will come crying and complaining again, saying we're mistreating you!" It seemed Peyton and Beverly had argued about this before. Now he was bringing up old grievances and taking all his anger out on Zaden. Drake also didn't like being contradicted. He said directly, "This matter is settled!" In the end, no one cared about Zaden's opinion. They decided the matter on their own. The corner of Elijah's mouth lifted. He said to Drake, "Grandpa, I'll come take over starting tomorrow." After saying that, he glanced around the room and added, "I hope you'll all show me the ropes." Although everyone knew Elijah was illegitimate, he still had the Storm surname. No one dared to disrespect him, so they all politely echoed their agreement. Only Athena didn't join in. She glanced at Zaden. Earlier he had seemed indifferent, but now his expression had darkened. He clearly wasn't happy. Athena wanted to speak but stopped herself. She wanted to comfort Zaden, but with so many people around, it wasn't appropriate to say anything. After Drake announced this matter, he stood up to leave. Peyton followed him and got up, preparing to leave. When he reached the door, Drake seemed to remember something. He turned back and said to Zaden, "Come home for dinner tonight." He didn't mention bringing Athena along. After speaking, Drake turned and left. After Drake and Peyton left, Ariana also stood up. She said to Maya, "Maya, let's go back to the room too." Maya had originally wanted to do something, but after thinking about it, she decided against it. She had already met Elijah anyway. When there was an opportunity, she could talk to him. There was no need to rush. Maya pushed down the thoughts in her heart, then stood up to help Ariana leave. The others also gradually got up. Soon only Zaden and Athena were left in the conference room. Of course, there was also Elijah sitting across from them. The corner of his mouth curved, and his eyes held a hint of amusement. One look at him made you feel he was up to no good. Elijah glanced at Athena and Zaden and said with a smile, "From now on, the hospital will be in my hands." Zaden didn't say anything. Drake had already decided. This matter was beyond dispute. He gave a low acknowledgment, then stood up and took Athena's hand, ready to leave. Just then, Elijah's voice came from behind them. Elijah looked at Athena and said, "Athena, don't you remember me?" Hearing Elijah's words, Athena frowned. Remember him? Had she ever had any connection with this person? She didn't know him at all. Athena was sure this was the first time she'd ever seen Elijah—and only today had she learned Zaden even had a brother. Yet now he was suddenly asking if she didn't recognize him. It really left her confused. Zaden's brow furrowed as he looked at Athena. Athena felt even more bewildered. She said, "Mr. Elijah, I don't think we've ever met before."Elijah chuckled and shrugged indifferently. "If you don't remember, forget it." His nonchalant tone made it seem like that sentence had just been a joke. But those words left a shadow in both Athena and Zaden's hearts.
