Chapter 140During breakfast, Alaric was going through the speech he intended to deliver the next day when Giovanni, his chief of staff walked up to him, wielding his laptop. “Sir, you need to see this.” He whispered, placing the screen in front of him. “Can't you see I'm busy.” Alaric snapped. “This is urgent, you have to address it, otherwise the speech would be useless.” Giovanni sang like a canary and at once Alaric snapped his head upwards, glaring angrily at him. “I'm sorry.” Still glaring, Alaric took the laptop from him only for a large frown to appear on his face the next second. “Where did you get this from?” He asked. “I received it via email.” With his hands resting on his hips, Giovanni stepped forward, “We buried everything relating to this case…” “Then how did it pop up… because you didn't do your job well.” Pushing his chair backwards, he rose and after emptying the glass of water in front of him down his gullet, he threw it across the room. “I can't believe I

With just a few hours left before the press conference where a new item would be unveiled to the public, Granny Elena was reading through the press release that her chief of staff had expertly written. Suddenly, her door flung open and she raised her head. With a look of worry on his face, Vincent, her chief of staff hurriedly turned on the TV. The footage was being displayed at the moment and at the same time the broadcaster was speaking about it. Granny Elena turned off the TV and then tossed the remote she was holding to the side. Pushing her hand into her hair she began to pace around trying to get the thought off her mind. “Ma'am you need to do something otherwise, a lot of things would definitely go wrong.”“Call the broadcasting station and ask them to take this down.” “It's too late. To the best of my knowledge, the story has been shared to other stations and articles are already being released on it. We can't put a hold on the world and…” Vincent couldn't get to finish w

With anger surging through him, Nathan grabbed his phone off the table, ignoring his father and uncle who were trying to stop him, he continued to stomp towards the exit. “If anything happens to my son, I won't forgive you.” Harry yelled, clenching his fist in anger. He knew fully well that Granny Elena wasn't going to go back on her words. Once she made a pronouncement, it was final. “Grandma, you can't hand Nathan over to the prosecution, he will be behind bars for a minimum of three years… granny, you need to reconsider your decision.” Sam said, hoping she would scumble to his pleas. “The company is at stake here and I won't sit back and watch what I had worked so hard for to go into the wind.” She said with an air of finality. At the end of the meeting, Naya in company of Liam and Nelson returned home to meet with Rose who had been pacing around the living room. Immediately they walked in, she plopped on the couch and then exhaled in relief. “I was thinking you guys won't c

After speaking to his mother who had summoned him home, Liam hurried towards the garage where Dave always waited for him. “I heard about the reshuffling, are you alright?” Dave asked immediately Liam slide into the car. “Uhm… I'm good.” “Alaric can be so petty. I wonder why he was given the chance to be the acting CEO. Maybe to pacify him…” he huffed, chuckling the next minute. After typing his address on the screen, Liam fell back on his seat, shutting his eyes tightly. The only thing on his mind at that moment was what his mother wanted to talk about. He was so curious that he couldn't keep still even for a minute, he kept on adjusting and readjusting on his seat while Dave observed him from the rear mirror occasionally. On arrival, Dave turned around to inform Liam who in turn stepped out of the car. Since he was being expected, his mother's men were already outside to usher him in. Madam Aurelia was in the living room waiting for his arrival and immediately he stepped in,

Rolling her eyes, Naya fell back on her seat. “He is also your brother so you don't have to treat him like he is a nobody.” Sam pressed on. He had asked her to speak to Liam on his behalf so they could procure a release for him. “I'm not mistreating him, if only he had known when to stop, he wouldn't have been in this mess.” She huffed. “It is his cross so he should carry it.” She added, sucking her teeth. Sam on the other hand was seething with anger. He kept on clenching and unclenching his fists under the table, staring at her with anger and hatred surging through him. “Naya, you have to help us. If no action is taken, Nathan will end up rotting in prison. The legal team just needs his consent so they could start scouting for his release. All we need right now is a word from your husband, nothing more.” “And what makes you think he is in a position to help? The prosecution of the country took up the matter and he isn't in the ministry of justice…” Sam didn't allow her to fini
