Mildred was shaking like a leaf in autumn, her hands placed on her chest. Jeremy almost felt pity for her but then he reminded himself that she was the one who got herself into the mess in the first place. She wished that she had never come in contact with that anonymous source or tried to manipulate Bob into getting that file for her. "What did they say to you?" He asked. Mildred shook her head, her mouth opening multiple times but she could not say a coherent statement. Jeremy slowly held her by the shoulders and made her sit down, he ordered a glass of water and she gulped it down at once. "They threatened to come for me, they think that I have sold them out." She said, her eyes wide in fear. Jeremy shook his head, "You will have to stay in your apartment, at least until I tell you that it is safe, don't worry, I won't let them hurt you." He assured me. Mildred nodded, "He asked me for the document of the contract with your recent partner at the Mercury Healer, I did as you i

"A fourth partner?" Jeremy asked, surprised. Sinclair nodded, "I haven't told you about this, because I wanted to protect you, like you said yourself, I don't even know why I am helping you and I don't want you to get hurt." He said. "What are you talking about? Everyone knows that lord Kingston only had three partners," Jeremy said, finding it hard to believe what Sinclair was telling him. "No, lord Kingston had four partners, his own son, Gilbert Kingston, although he was never really concerned about the family business and the Kingston Empire, he still included his heir in the partnership and had people work on behalf of him. The second partner which I am sure you know of is Fred, Fred was really close to lord Kingston and he became a partner and was included in the will. The third partner is your father, he was the most valuable scientist in the Kingston Empire, some even said that you were lord Kingston's favorite, until the conspiracy started and your father was ashamed and

The next day, Jeremy woke up pretty late, it was already mid-morning when he finally made a stop at the office to have a few meetings that had been postponed for way too long. Bob briefed him about some of the partners who were threatening to leave if not speak with or have a meeting with the founder of the company himself. Jeremy still gave the same reply he'd given for the past few years, he was just working for the Mercury Healer, and no one knew who the founder was. That morning, his secretary had looked at him funnily, Jeremy suspected that he might have discovered that Jeremy was not only the CEO but the founder of the Mercury Healer, but Jeremy to not indulge the man, he simply told him to keep the partners call my eyes much as he could on a show them that it was safe to invest in the company. As Jeremy arrived home later that evening, pulling off his tan suit and plain black trousers, he recalled the event of the day, when Sinclair was unavailable, no doubt handling the ca

Ella was in despair, from the club, she locked herself in her room and did not say a word to anybody. Abraham was very worried and spent the rest of the night trying to make her, albeit fruitlessly. Jeremy had gone home after several attempts to get Ella out of the room proved abortive. He could understand her anger, she was betrayed, and he could tell that she was ashamed too. He knew that the only way to allow her to heal was to leave her alone. Despite telling Abraham this, he lost sleep at night still trying to coax her out. The next morning, he got a call from Abraham that made him arrive at the Coatas family house again. "You are the only one that can make her come out, please, help my daughter." He begged. "All she needs is a little bit of time, she will come around, sir," Jeremy said. "No, what if she hurts herself in there?" Abraham asked worriedly. Jeremy sighed, he knew that the old man was right, people could act oddly when grieving. "I will check up on her," he said

Jeremy did not move from his seat even as she spoke, he simply turned his neck in her. direction. "It's good to see you too, Rebecca," he said sarcastically. Rebecca was shocked to see him, she was just in a pencil skirt and a shirt, she had her handbag in her left hand and the car key to her Lexus on the right. "What are you doing here?" She asked, sounding more curious than upset. "That's not a very warm way to welcome a familiar face, is it?" He said, his tone light, almost joking. "You are as special to me as any stranger I have just met seconds ago, do not flatter yourself, what do you want?" She asked. "I have come to discuss with you about__" "Do not bother yourself, I am way out of your league, you can never have me back." She snapped and swayed in her right skirt, showing off her curves. Jeremy could not deny the fact that she was still very beautiful, but he wanted nothing to do with her. "Did you think you could ever find someone as pretty or successful as me? Forget
