chapter 131
Elton Ross's POV Elton walked down the lonely corridor in the building. His footsteps were the only sound in the corridor, and his gaze was fixed on the door at the end. He couldn't recall the last time he had been in the building, possibly after Lucas' death and it showed in how dusty and unkempt the place was. He approached the door and entered the passcode, watching the door click open, granting him entry to the room. The things inside the room was highly classified and was not made to be exposed to outsiders.He entered the space and firmly closed the door behind him. The last time he was there, they had tortured Lucas until he agreed to sign the divorce papers and he had given an order to kill Lucas to silence him.He couldn't believe how stupid he'd been to let the boy stay married to his daughter for so long after getting the organ he needed from the boy.He sighed and moved further into the room. Dane and Jackson were already present in the room, waiting for him. They both

Elton’s POVElton only went to the art exhibition in the art gallery because he needed the investment money from Dual investments. That was the only reason why he honored the invitation or he would be in his house sleeping by then.Nothing screams irresponsibility like strolling around a room, admiring paintings and artworks that you have no business looking at in the first place. He still couldn’t understand how individuals would leave their homes to visit a gallery and admire paintings or other works of art all in the name of ‘love for art.’He has never been a lover of art and never will be. If he saw a painting and he liked it, he simply bought it, regardless of it’s meaning or value.Every other thing be damned.The car came to a stop at a red light, and he sighed, eyeing his driver. He didn’t know why the man was driving like he had all the time in the world. He was already late for the art exhibition but would love it if the driver hastened up.“ Next time, try to avoid a red

Elton's POV Elton froze and he felt shivers run down his spine as he heard what the man had said. He made a mental note to contact his link in the police force later to find out what was happening and why they were conducting a search and seize in his warehouse.The other warehouse was the unregistered warehouse, which, despite not being registered in his name, belonged to him. They used that warehouse when they needed off-the-record trucks or cars. It was not only difficult to discover any incriminating materia but also to find any valuable information, owing to the fact that the trucks were hired by private individuals who wished to utilize them for various purposes.He kept his tracks clean, so Elton was not scared at all. He was a cautious man, and there was no paper trail in the warehouse to follow that could lead back to him.They did not keep anything in the warehouse that might be used to incriminate themselves. So why had the cops shown up at the warehouse? What information

Elton's POVElton blinked and scoffed. “So you’re in bed with Nathaniel Hayes now…” he mumbled.Avery rolled his eyes, turning to face him. “Like I said, not your business. A simple question though: what did you do to offend The Hayes family?” he asked.Elton frowned. He had asked himself the same question over and over again but had always come up short. What had he done to offend Nathaniel Hayes; the man had shown his dislike for Elton from the first day that they met.He had done nothing to any Hayes recently, and he was certainly not counting back ten years because no one, absolutely no one, was supposed to know about his involvement in that.Elton had simply supplied what he was asked to supply and that was all. He had excluded himself from the operation and had made it clear. The only reason he had even involved himself in the case in the first place was because he had needed the financial resources for Ross construction and to lift his family out from poverty.It felt as if th

Chapter 135
Elton’s POV Elton stormed into his office with his secretary hot on his heels. He had just returned from the meeting with Avery Garfield and all he got out of the meeting was layers of insults.Avery, once again, proving why men with powers were not to be trusted. The man knew how important his investments would be to both Hayes Holdings and Ross construction and had successfully played the two companies against each other.He sighed, slamming his hands on his desk, wincing when a spark of pain coursed through his veins because of that action. He needed to get a grip of the situation and that would mean getting in touch with the right people.He turned sharply to his secretary who was looking like she would rather not be there at the moment. “ Get me everything there is to know about Avery Garfield and the board of directors at Dual investments… I need to know who is making the major decisions!” He barked.She paused as if she was not sure if she should say what she wanted to say, bu

Chapter 136
Elton's POVElton winced as he noticed the mark there. If Margaret had observed the mark there, she did not mention it as she turned to leave his office. She walked as far as the door before stopping. Margaret turned to face him as she held the door knob.“Unblock my cards, Elton Ross!” she exclaimed before slamming his door shut, which rocked on its hinges. Even with the door closed, he could hear her heels clanging in the corridor.He moaned and slumped into his seat, his heart racing against his chest. Nathaniel Hayes’ advice echoed clearly in his head: ‘Take care of your health’.At this point, with all the pressure he was facing, he was going to die faster by heart attack before his company even went under.He had more than just his health to worry about; he also had a business and a family to support. The same family that would turn against him the moment his company went bankrupt.A notification appeared on his phone, and he rushed to take it up, thinking it was a response from

Chapter 137
Elton’s POV The driver pulled over at the appointed location and climbed out without being told what to do. They were already used to this system, so they knew what to do at any point. Elton waited with bated breath for what would happen next. He heard voices from outside the car. Probably a discussion between his driver and the other man who was going to take over.Within a minute, the driver’s door opened again, and another man he didn’t recognize entered the vehicle and started the engine. The organization made sure they changed drivers every single time.Using the same set of person’s overtime was risky as identities of members stood a risk of being exposed. The new driver adjusted himself into the seat and buckled the seatbelt across his chest.Elton tried to catch the man’s face, but could only see his side view and not his front view. From experience, he knew the driver wouldn’t turn around. There was actually no use for him to see the man’s face, since they would change him

Elton's POVInstead of attempting to find out who was who, he gave up and poured himself a drink. They had provided the drink that suited his taste, even though it cost more than his company now.If the organization was known for anything, it was its superb taste in drinks. He didn’t have to wait long as everyone arrived just as he did, quietly and in secret; the meeting began nearly immediately.Elton waited while listening to the many difficulties that was laid out by the head. In meetings like this, you listened and only talked if addressed directly. Like he had discovered earlier, Most of the companies targeted had suffered losses, raising the question of why this was happening. Either someone had divulged their identities or another organization was attempting to dethrone them.That was the only reason why the organization was getting involved. They couldn’t stand the losses, because it would also mean that they wouldn’t get their respective shares from these companies.The orga

Nathan’s POVNathan’s eyes widened in shock. “ Really?!” He stuttered.Scott scoffed, handing over a paper card to Nathan. “ Yes Nathan. I was also shocked myself when I saw his card. His teacher confirmed that if he had had a good term without all those problems, then he would have done better.” He said.Nathan allowed his eyes to scan through the card. It was the terminal report sheet of Nate from his school and all Nathan could see was an impressive performance.He had not attended the most expensive school while growing up and had gone to a public school because it was difficult to get into a private one. But seeing Nate’s report brought a smile to his face.He arched a brow. The kid had a hundred percent in almost all the subjects. If this was not Nate doing better, then he didn’t know what. “ This is beyond impressive Scott…” he muttered in awe.Scott chuckled. “ He actually felt bad that he didn’t get straight A’s and I had to appease him with buying new console.” He said.Okay

Nathan's POV Nathan smiled broadly at her. “Of course, my opinions would be considered, but as I stated in earlier interviews, Spike Entertainment Agency knew best, and that is what they provided us. The best is representing, and I am hopeful that she will win,” he responded.There was no way he would have allowed Piper go on to the finals, not when he had the plugs in his hands.He knew the next question that was coming before another reporter asked it. The interview was required because he had avoided it since the beauty pageant began, if not, he would have ended everything there and walked into the event hall.“Does this imply that Piper Ross isn’t the best? She’s been doing well recently, and everyone assumed she’d be the one representing the country.” Nathan smirked. Of course, they would think so, especially because Piper had begun in the early stages and worked her way up to the final level, only to be pulled out and replaced by someone else.He was yet to see Piper or hear f
