Chapter 764

Nolan had been in a coma for four days when Nicholas sent a private jet to Winston Island to transport
him back to Bassburgh Hospital. Quincy stayed back on the island to deal with the developers and
Quintin. It was obvious that the incident had enraged Nicholas.

And because of the injury that Helios had suffered, Yael did everything in his power to impeach the upper
management of the Winston Island jurisdiction,

All the hot spring businesses on Winston Island involved in violent crime and investment frauds were
closed down. Even the directors of the development companies had to abandon their righthand men to
protect their reputations as they tried their best to cut ties with any hot spring businesses that Quintin
owned.

They even submitted a list of Quintin’s accomplices to the police anonymously and the evidence of illegal
activities he was involved in over the years.

Even though the Goldmanns and the Bouchers could not infiltrate Winston Island with their influence, this
was the first time both families had their eyes fixed on the same goal for the sake of their son, and that
was to demolish the fraud syndicates that existed on Winston Island

At the Boucher manor, in the living room…

Richard shook the table by placing his teacup on the table heavily. “Are you planning to send me to my
deathbed with this sh*t show?” Helios stood there and had not uttered a single word. Although the
bruises on his face had dissipated a little, the marks were still faintly visible. Yael looked at his father and
said calmly,” Father, it’s a blessing that Helios has come back in one piece. Don’t blame him anymore.”

“He is who he is all because of your condonation.”



Knowing that his father was infuriated, Yael could only take the blame without talking back. “I’m sorry, it’s
my fault.”

“And that’s it?” Richard pointed at Helios.” This is why I would disagree with the idea of him getting into
the business circle The business circle can, at times, be complicated and sinister.

And this genius, he’s actually ballsy enough to travel all the way to Winston Island with that brat from the
Goldmanns to talk about some random investment project?”

Yael lowered his head.

Helios took a deep breath. “You’re wrong, Grandfather.”

Richard glared at him doubtfully, but Helios’ face looked calm and expressionless. “The person who
traveled to Winston Island in order to invest in a project isn’t Nolan, but me. He has nothing to do with
this incident. And I’m the one who got him involved.”





“You…”

“Father, Grandfather, I’m sorry, I know you have high expectations for me, but I don’t want to live
according to all your arrangements. I’ m doing so because I want to locate my own path in life.” “Helios
Boucher!” Richard slammed the table and reprimanded angrily, “Do you know what the hell did you just
say?”

Helios lifted his head, exchanged gaze with Richard’s wrathful glare, and gave off a faint smile. “I’m well
aware of that. I’m the eldest heir of the Bouchers, and I don’t have many choices to choose from in life
because everything has been arranged for me since the day! was born. What you want is for me to



return to the family, inherit the family business, then marry the woman you arrange for me, settle down
with her, give birth to a few children, and then spend the rest of my life just like that.”

“You ungrateful b*stard! You have such a blissful life, yet you’re here complaining about it. Do you know
that what you own is something that others can’t even dream o f?”

“Of course.” Helios scoffed. “But for me, is this any different from the life of the birds that are being
locked away in the cage?”

Richard was taken aback.

Helios looked out the window. “You didn’t allow me to befriend Nolan since I was a child because you
thought he had always been an unrestrained and rude kid and wouldn’t act according to how others
thought he should. However, the thing that you don’t know is how much I envied him back then.”

Helios had always been taught to obey his elders ever since he was a boy and that he should never talk
back to his elders because they were never wrong.

Even if he was not the one who did something wrong, he could not talk back when he was being
scolded. He had to accept the reprimand humbly and listen to all the elders’ arrangements.

Thus, Nolan had not done anything wrong. He had just been a boy who would not let himself be
wronged, who dared to tell the elders

their mistakes in their face and talk back at them. In general, he had just been a rude boy in the eyes of
Helios’ elders. He would only do what he wanted to do and preferred to listen to his own heart compared
to the words of his elders. He would do whatever he thought would make things easy for himself or
whatever would make him feel happy. In the eyes of the elders, he had always been a stubborn and
untamable horse.
