CHAPTER THIRTY-ONEEveryone stood there and shot glances.As Kevin walked through the door, Drake shouted“Stop him! Don’t let him leave!”But no one moved.They all wanted Kevin to leave and for this horrible scene to be over.Drake saw that no one was helping and ran over to grab Kevin by the shoulder.“Didn’t you hear what I just said? You can’t leave!”Right there, a white van stopped abruptly right in front of the restaurant’s entrance.Then, multiple powerfully built men jumped out of the van holding baseball bats in their hands.It looked like the party was about to get even worse.Drake was relieved to see his friends who came with his top bodyguards.“Lorenzo! Thanks for getting here so fast.”Lorenzo gave Drake a slight nod,“What’s going on Drake?”He pointed at Kevin and said, “Lorenzo, this is the piece of crap I told you about.”One of the Jones family members recognized Drake’s friend. “Lorenzo? That’s one of the toughest criminals in the city!”“Wow!” Someone else said

Grandma Jones tried to shift Eliana’s attention from the whispers she was hearing,“I’m sorry that I couldn’t welcome you at the door, President Wright.”She said sweetly.Eliana searched the room with her eyes and then shocked them all by asking,“Mrs. Jones, is Kevin here today?”“I’m sorry, President Wright but Kevin isn’t here at the moment.”The disappoint was visible on Grandma Jones’s face.“Since Kevin isn’t here, I won’t take much of your time.”Eliana motioned for one of her bodyguards to place a beautifully wrapped gift box on the table.“This is a small token from me. Happy birthday.”After saying this, Eliana turned around and left.Drake’s face fell.He wasn’t the only one in the room who was shocked.Why were all of these rich powerful people looking for Kevin?What the hell was going on?“Someone should go and get Kevin and bring him back here!”Grandma Jones barked at her family.Lily reacted first and immediately rushed out of the room, Blakely followed closely behin

Meanwhile, outside Blakely’s house, the police had already told the Jones family what was going on.The officer in charge of the scene was named Helene.She was wearing a typical police uniform but the one with the four stars.Grandma Jones showed up with the older members of the family, the ones who made most of the big decisions.“Officer Helene, how is the situation now?”The jones family had been sitting in the living room admiring the gifts Mr. Collins and President Eliana had given to grandma.They were trying to recover from the horrible fight at the restaurant and hoped that the day could get a little better.That was when they got a call from officer Helene.Grandma’s party was definitely over for this year.Helene answered directly in typical police style,“There is a man named Kevin Williams who is currently speaking with the kidnapper identified as Blakely. We will give you an update as soon as possible, ma’am”Grandma Jones was overwhelmed by the situation.She pressed fo

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN A little while later…Collins Coke was in his office at the Whitefield hotelLorenzo was standing apologetically in front of KevinHe bowed his head and looked at his feet, then Collins Coke spoke first,“I hope you can forgive me Mr. Williams. It’s my fault that Lorenzo offended you.”Then he walked over to Lorenzo and gave him a patronizing pat on the cheek.“What do you have to say for yourself, Lorenzo.”“Mr. Williams, I had no idea who you were but I know now… please let me go and I’ll do anything you want me to.”Lorenzo was actually trembling with fears.Kevin thought for a while and felt that Lorenzo amused him,“Sure! I’ll let you go but I’ll just ask for one thing in return. You are going to keep an eye on Drake Jones from now on.”“Thank you, sir.”Lorenzo was grateful but Kevin didn’t say anything more to him.He didn’t even bother to look him.Then he looked over at Collins and said,“Thanks for setting this little get together but I have something u

The agent returned with a smile on her face and she looked very excited.“Sir, I’m really sorry I kept you waiting.”“Is the transaction complete?”Kevin asked as he reached his hand to get his card back from her.“Yes sir!”Said the agent lady with a big smile on her face.“You are now the new owner of the big penthouse, sir! This is my first day so I’m sure someone else will go over the paper work for you.”She was new to the company but one thing she did know was she would be getting an enormous commission.“What did you just say!?”The rude agent who had met Kevin by the door earlier was shocked.“Miss. Moreen, this gentleman had just bought the penthouse and he paid in full!”She explained excitedly to her trainer.She could barely contain her excitement.“And I’ll get a two percent from this!”Kevin looked at her and said,“Well young lady, it looks like you won a one hundred and sixty thousand today.”James was done with his phone call and walked over to them,“You still haven’
