Chapter 205: Is it due to Aiden?
On the first day of his appointment, Barnes clearly remembered how Mr. Clark had warned him about Zenith’s absurd, selfish, and ruthless nature, who had always lived like a wild horse on the run, never knowing when to restrain or slow down his pace so that he wouldn’t end up hurting others. From those explanations, Barnes was certain that he was appointed to serve a man who cared for no one else in this world.
But right now, owning that thought with which he came to the Elite Academy was completely polar opposite to the emotions Barnes felt rising inside him. In front of him, there stood a man in love, who was willing to commit any drastic actions only for the sake of his beloved man, and such kind of pure love was one in a million to be found in this peculiar world.
Despite being the son of Dolemort Agastya who was the epitome of fear to the rest of the world, the way Zenith bravely justified his actions made Barnes feel sincerely proud of him.
In such a short span of time, Barnes was quite awestruck to see Zenith change in such a magnificent way and become the Alpha anybody would be proud to be with, erasing his dark twisted past with his own hands. The shift was only possible due to the precious love he had found in a person who showed up in his life like an unexpected rain shower of cold December.

I...am well aware of what it feels to be blessed with a family...because a long time ago, I had lost my own."
His voice grew a bit heavier, depicting the sadness from his tone while a tiny smile curved on him, "That’s why, I had vowed to myself to give my best in preserving someone else’s family...so that... nobody in this world would have to live remorsefully the way I have lived until now. And...knowing how much Mr. Kylian means to you, there’s no way I could’ve ever opposed your decision, young master. But all you had to do was just let me know once...so that I would’ve tackled Boss Clark accordingly when he charged me."
"Wait...Mr. Clark knows about it?" Astonished by his sudden revelation, before Zenith could process it, Barnes nodded his head and made a grimacing expression while telling the facts.
"Yes...and I believe the investment management group of your company must’ve conveyed the news to him since it’s something really big, young master. I believe...your father still isn’t aware of that and most probably for your sake, Mr. Clark will do his best to erase all the documents about the transfer of shares. But..."
