After Richard's call with Diane, tension soon spread throughout Dalton City, with the citizens gathering at every available spot, whispering and arguing amongst themselves,Before noon on that day, all the newspaper stands in the city had been cleared out, and everyone was eager to obtain the latest newspaper that contained the latest news and juiciest juice,The headlines were intriguing enough and quite strategic, and it sure had people talking,[Discrepancies in Dalton City Finance; Where is the money?][Mayor's office can't account for missing funds]The piece was released anonymously, no name given and the piece didn't mention anyone's name, not even one suspect. Only giving enough details to raise suspicion and questions for everyone. And everyone sure had their questions and misgivings.As expected, following the turn of events, the mayor's office was in total disarray, Andrew Morris was practically clueless; phones were ringing nonstop. As they attempted and failed to control

Leaving the crowd dumbfounded, Andrew hurried back into his office; the office was filled with tension, papers were everywhere on the table, with computer screens glowing with financial records; Andrew sat at the head of the table, clenching his jaw tightly. Next to him, Cassandra crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the floor. Across from them, Harold rubbed his temples, as if he had aged ten years in one day.Randy, another official they had hired alongside his men stood around Caleb, who was near the monitor, everybody was dying to know what they had found,Andrew spoke curtly. "Well? What did you find?" Caleb hesitated for a moment, then cleared his throat. "We found the money, sir." Andrew instantly leaned forward,"And?" Harold turned to Caleb, who moved forward,"The good part is that we were able to freeze the city's offshore account and no more money can be taken. But….." "But what?" Cassandra interrupted, furrowing her brows, Randy exhaled slowly,"But a lot of mone

Andrew sat uneasily in an interrogation room at the Province headquarters, fidgeting on the seat as his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest,Across the polished table, three members of the Province Crime Commission Task Force sat, each scowling at him. Andrew found his collar surprisingly tight, almost choking and he wondered if it was the collar or his current situation that had him that way,Henry Langston, the main investigator, a keen-eyed man, scanned through a thick folder; two more cops, Special Agent Darren Nigel and Detective Clara Reeves, were seated next to him, both of them glowering at Andrew. Langston nodded curtly,"Mayor Morris," he said in a steady but authoritative voice,"We should get right to the subject. The whole city is in a frenzy over the news report. People are looking for answers. Why hasn't your office produced a complete financial account since the discovery of the missing funds?” Andrew moved around in his chair, trying to look composed, his ears an

"Sir, here's the file," Inside the investigation room, Caleb passed a stack of documents to Andrew who was sitting with his back facing him,"Place it on the table," Andrew replied without raising his head to see who it was.Well, this was his office, not anyone would care to walk in without his permission, so whoever it was, they were here to either present a file or give him important information,The person who had just walked in was of the former, so he didn't care who it was,He was going to check the files later. There were still a lot of pending issues he had to deal with.Caleb nodded as he turned around walking out of the office, his mind racing.He had just given Richard's file to Andrew and he wondered what the latter wanted to do with the files,Though it was none of his business, he had to do something about it,What's more, he had been trying to call Richard, but his line was not going through.Every time he tried, there would always be a mechanical voice from the other

Vivienne stood with crossed arms to her chest, clenching her teeth as she saw the situation in front of her, at first, she wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat,Seeing the way Tara was conversing with Richard and smiling, the jealousy in her heart continued to sprout deeper, almost germinating seeds of hatred for someone she didn't know, Her mind couldn't help but conjure dramatic thoughts as she watched them, Tara's smile was the rain, while Richard's face, which had brightened up, was the fertilizer that fueled the growth of the Jealousy.After a while, Vivienne forcefully calmed down. She could tell the lady was into Richard, and this didn't sit well with her.How was she going to let this happen? For a moment, she wanted to say something, but just as she stepped forward, she froze once again as she realized the two hadn't realized there was someone in the room.Noticing this, Vivienne's eyes flashed with jealousy so much that it could be felt in her ga
