Bethany realised at that moment that Mildred was not going to see reason with her and lay low. Apparently, she also had a stubborn streak like Jack. Before she could even reply to Mildred, Mildred stormed off, muttering inaudibles.Bethany heaved a deep sigh, knowing what she had to do. She had to pay a visit to Lucas Black.He was a hard man to find and some even say you can only find him when he wants you to but she was still THE MAN, the queen of the underworld.She brought out her phone and dialled a four digit number. A gruff male voice spoke from the other side when the call was answered.“The Man.”“Killer, tell Lucas I want to meet, soon,” Bethany said in a sharp and cut tone.“As you wish,” Killer replied and Bethany ended the call.Two days later, Bethany made her way to see Lucas Black. She was dressed sharply in a black jean pants and black shirt with an equally black leather Jacket and boots.A black beret covered her head and she was accompanied by two of her most trust

“I always knew you had it in you. This is amazing. Not only were you able to stall Jack from launching his new product, you've also helped us find a way to sabotage the old one. Brilliant, just brilliant,” Michelle heaped praises on Trent a few days later when he returned to Milton City and told them what he had obtained.“It's great but we should hold on about doing anything with it for now,” Micheal said in his cold voice. “The little bitch is still alive and if there's one thing I know about those damn Bolton's, they never give up. She still suspects you and since we were unsuccessful in assassinating her, I suggest we lay low until that threat is taken care of.”Micheal did not want to take any chances of getting carried away by the euphoria of this early success. He understood that they had a long way to go if they were to take the Bolton Empire as a whole down. Bolton Tech was just their first stop.“I think we should strike while the Iron is hot, and send them into chaos. Wasn'

Mildred had just left the meeting where Jack laid out his plans to take down the Carters. She was not pleased that he didn't see things from her point of view and since she didn't have any proof either, she couldn't point an accusing finger.When Trent took her side, it had the opposite effect to what he was going for. Rather than sway her from thinking he was the mole, it only convinced her the more.The Scott she used to know would never take anyone's side above Jack's, no matter what, so the moment he did it, she thought it was on purpose and it only strengthened her resolve the more.Right now, she was heading to meet with Alister, the private investigator who she had hired to follow Trent. The meeting was at their usual place, the public library.“So what have you got for me?” Mildred asked the older man, giving him a pointed look. She hoped it was good information, one that could immediately nail Scott.“So every now and then, after the close of work, he pays a visit to this buil

Unlike Lucas and his men's usual behaviour, they were not having fun as was their usual routine with a lot of booze, smoke and women.Lucas was weary. He knew he had flouted Bethany's warning and a repercussion was sure to follow.It was why today, every floor in his house was occupied with men. He invited as many of them as he could lay his hands on and made sure they were all heavily armed as a protection against Bethany.He was ready to take over Bethany's throne and that could only be done with some hostility. He had made his first move, an act of defiance and now he was waiting for Bethany's move.He knew this was not a battle that strategy alone could give you victory on, brute strength and a show of power was also necessary.There were four floors in total in Lucas’ mansion and each floor had at least a hundred men all armed to the teeth ready to defend with Lucas himself at the topmost floor, a few steps away from his helipad Incase things got messy.He knew Bethany commanded

Micheal Carter froze when he heard Jack's voice. He recognized that voice all too well. If Jack has gotten to Micheal, that meant he was in trouble and he needed to get away as fast as possible.Lucas never knew anything about Trent, the reason why Micheal wanted Mildred dead was never revealed to him, so Micheal knew that secret was safe from Jack and most of their plans would still go on as usual as long as Trent was never found out.He decided right then and there to go into deep hiding again and continue to work from behind the scene.Dashing out of his home office, he went straight to his sister and partner in crime, Michelle.“We have a problem,” Micheal said in a exasperated tone, the dismay of losing all the progress they had made against Jack in the last few months was clear in his eyes.Michelle raised a brow at him. “What is it?”“It's Jack. He found out I'm behind his sister's attempted murder and he's coming for me as we speak,” Micheal answered in a weak tone, disappoint
