After thinking about his decisions and realizing one thing about the situation, he decided to give Kendrick a call and let him know of his final decisions. “Finally, you’ve decided to call me. I do hope you’ve made your decision Stefan”. His grandfather shrugged at him over the phone as he let out a sigh. “Yes father and with your explanation, I was able to understand something”. Stefan went to make him understand something by saying such words. Trying to give him the company when it didn’t actually come from his heart after his granddaughter’s words to him made him decide what to let him know of the reason why he had chosen the company. “Do you remember what you once said to my father? And that was about our conversation earlier today “. Stefan paused and went on to say the words which would leave him dumbfounded.
“I have made my final decisions and I choose the company over Raven. I’m willing to divorce her and marry Ava if that’s the only thing I need to do in order to achieve my aims. You told me to let go of some unnecessary things in life for me to achieve the other ones and right now I don’t think ‘Love’ is my main focus for now and apart from that, I just need to stay focused with the right woman by my side “. Kendrick Maxwell was confused over the words Stefan just uttered, he was trying to comprehend what he meant and that was when his memory took him back to their early conversation. Remembering their discussion, he could only hit his foot against the chair he was seating in on remembering that he had fuck up.
“I’m really so happy for you son! At least you’ve finally come to know the terms between business and love. I’m happy with your decision”. In order wise, he was angry with the decision which he made and he can’t try to back down from his promise. He had already made the promise to him and backing down will only make Stefan see him as a wicked grandfather. “You remember everything you need to do right? My driver will come and pick you up tomorrow morning so you could visit Ava and settle with her before you go back to Korea”. Stefan smiled at Kendrick’s words. He could feel the sad gaze on his tone just like his fake congratulations to him right now. He knows his father wasn’t really happy with the decisions he had made. He probably thought he would choose her over the company but in the end, he highly disappointed him that he wasn’t really the commoner which he and his granddaughter ‘Jenny’ thought he was.
“Yes father!! Thank you so much”. With an appreciative tone from him, the call came to an end.

In the big large master bedroom of Kendrick Maxwell, Jenny, his granddaughter who had been eavesdropping on his conversation with Stefan, bangs into the room with a furious gaze hoping that the conversation will go well just like she was expecting. “What did he say grandpa?!! She uttered with a curious tone, her voice a bit loud as she walked around the room, patiently waiting for the words of his grandfather who was currently speechless on what to say to him. The pressure was getting high on her as she got no response from him. She couldn’t imagine it. She couldn’t imagine the fun and mockery her friends will make at her after learning her words to be all false because she had blabber to them Kendrick Maxwell who was her grandfather will hand over the company to her and that’s after the blood transfusion was successful.
“Father please say something!! You can’t keep me muttering! You need to give me an answer right away”. She uttered with a screeching voice, tears streaming out of her eyes since her grandfather was unable to give her the answers that she wanted.
Kendrick was scared of hurting his granddaughter who he cherished so much. She was Carbon copy of him which was the reason why he promised to offer her anything he wants but not this time around. He was unable to offer her the company which he had promised his other grandson about. He can’t just back down from his words and fulfill his promise to Stefan, he knew it could cause Jenny pain and it’s most likely going to cause commotion between the two of them and that is what he needs to prevent from happening.
“I’m sorry sweetie!!” Kendrick leaned close to her and ruffled her hair, petting her back as he was about to let out the unpleasant words which he knew will probably hurt her.
“I’m sorry that I didn’t give you my promise in the First place sweetie, but in order for Stefan to donate blood for you, I need to hand over the company to him since that ‘s the only thing he had benefited from me as his grandfather”.
