The party ended in peace as Adrian's grandfather is not like those stuck-up rich people that look down on other people not on his level. Although Gerard could act like that if he really needed to. He needed to know more about his family which is why he talked to all the people invited to the party.
From the conversations that Gerard has gathered from the close friends of his son's family, he noticed that his son is doing well in life but not as well as him. Still, it seems that his son is focusing on investing on people who have big dreams.
"As expected of my son, he is a good judge of character but that also means that some unwanted people would want the taste of success due to the nickname he has got." Gerard thought to himself as he sipped the juice that his daughter gave him.
'Start-Up Wizard' that is the nickname that Adrian's father Richard has got due to the insane track record of successful businesses that he invested upon. Although not all businesses that he invested became overly successful, the businesses did not become bankrupt but the reason for that would be the passion of the owners of the businesses rather than Richard's money.
"I would have to talk to my son in later date because I need to spoil my grandson today. I finally managed to get invited without being forceful after all." Gerard thought as he is sitting in the living room sofa the day after Adrian's birthday.
"Honey, what should we do with your father? We cannot let him leave now that he sat on the sofa even if you want him to. Your son already invited him, and it is not like you were banished from your home. You only forfeited your inheritance not your relationship." Maria argued.
"What is my grandson doing at this time? Even though he invited me, he did not come and fetch me from the gate." Gerard stated as he wiped a tear on his right cheek.
"Do not be overbearing. He has yet to walk properly but he has been showing progress. Walking all the way to the gate would still be too much for him. He is currently inside his favorite game right now so you cannot bother him. He only gets out during mealtimes." Richard argued as he took a seat across his father.
"If that is the case then I would like to stay for lunch." Gerard stated as he smiled while the look on his son became hopeless.
"Why are you really here dad? You did not come just because it is my son's birthday. Also, it is creepy to know what he likes." Richard stated.
"You do know that my grandson has a social media page, right? And you are correct to assume that I did not just come here for his birthday but that is the reason that I came early." Gerard replied as he took a sip once more.
"Then why are you really here for?" Richard asked.
"I am telling you that Adrian's accident is not really an accident." Gerard stated in a serious tone in which Adrian's parents' faces also turned serious.
"The police and investigators already said that it was an accident and nothing more. Adrian even got a medal of heroism from the mayor even though it was just his stunt to get more voters." Richard stated.
"My dear son, even though I am old, I am very much caught up to the technology today except for the ones in the entertainment sector of course. The bus that hit my grandson should have an emergency stop option as it was installed with the latest sensor that would make the bus stop immediately by planting spikes onto the ground.
Oddly enough, there were no signs of that electric bus' anti-crash mechanism to activate. This is the reason why bus accidents have been reduced to 1%. The bus should have already stopped or slowed down upon sensing the little girl a few meters away." Gerard stated in serious tone.
"There should be no reason for the mother and the little girl to be culprits because I already investigated them just in case. All results pointed out that they are really mother and daughter that just happened to be there at the time. The bus driver is also the same which I why we did not revoke his license." Richard replied.
"The mother and daughter are innocent and also the bus driver. But did you not check the passengers? Also did you dig deep enough regarding the mother of the child? What if they were placed there because of someone?" Gerard stated in a serious tone.
"Elaborate!" Maria stated in a calm voice but, in a tone, filled with rage.
"Oh! I like her. You did an incredibly good job son. I am very proud of you but back to the matter at hand. It seems that there were traces of an electromagnetic later being used which made the anti-accident mechanism activate and made the bus speed up instead of slowing down." Gerard stated.
"And the mother and daughter?" Richard asked.
"The mother and daughter are innocent but not the boss of the mother that called her before the exact same time that her daughter's toy is suddenly flung onto the streets. That same toy has been tampered with because it was given by that mother's boss. They made it so elaborate to the point that an investigation would not pick up that it was a set-up." Gerard stated.
"Who is it?" Maria asked as she was already seething with anger that even scared her own husband.
"According to my investigation it was from a person named Edison Torrio who is actually someone who is somewhat renowned in the underworld. It seems that he came to you for a business proposal, but you rejected him." Gerard answered.
"If he did then he did not use his real name when he came to me. It is not uncommon for me to reject business proposals that can be used for shady means but that is not enough for him to warrant revenge." Richard replied.
"That is true because that accident should not have been that serious. It seems that all he wanted to do is send my grandson to the hospital for a few days, but you do know to never trust tools made by the black market. You do not have to worry though as I already sent men to teach this person a lesson. He also never approached you again after his plan got messed up." Gerard stated with a wicked smile.
"Honey, I need to calm my head so I will take a vacation for a few days. Take care of the kids while I am gone and do not order food from delivery as the fridge is already packed with ingredients." Maria stated as she went to their room to pack.
"You do not need to worry, my dear daughter. I also brought my chef with me, so the kids are in good hands." Gerard stated in an assuring manner.
Richard who saw her wife did not stop her because even he would be unable to stop her when she becomes like that. He just hopes that the 'vacation' that she will take would clear her mind.
