A Billionaire's Conundrum

Jeremy hid a frown as his mother-in-law jerked dramatically, her face twisted in an ugly scowl. "The water is too hot! Do you want to cook my feet?" She snapped at him, irritatedly. Jeremy stood there, he had nothing to say, he'd tested the temperature of the water for her feet wash and it was perfect, he could not understand her fuss.But he could not argue with her, it would have worsened it. "Don't just stand there, get me another!" She angrily ordered him. Jeremy looked at his wristwatch, it was 0:00, midnight hour. He had kept his promise to the Jason family, he had played his part. Three years ago, Jeremy had promised that he would make the family boom, he had made a promise to take the Jason family from their bankrupt state to becoming one of the biggest in the city. It had seemed impossible then but it was exactly three years since he'd made that promise and true to his words, the Jason family had risen to the tier-2 family of the city. His mother-in-law, Pam glared at

Jeremy ignored the strange man completely and rather glared at Rebecca, upset at her behavior. "We've been together for three years and I have never disrespected you, I did my best for you and your family and now we have scarcely concluded our divorce and you dare to bring this so-called "boyfriend" to our home?" Jeremy scolded, enraged. He shook his head at the duo and warned them, "You are the one who is making a mistake, Rebecca, now get out of my way and do not irritate me any further or I will teach you both a lesson." Rebecca was taken aback by his actions. She had known Jeremy for so long and he had never been so furious nor raised his voice at her despite the harsh attitude she and her mother had towards him, treating him like a servant. What changed him so much? Greg sneered at Jeremy, he felt that he was being challenged. As a rich and successful businessman and with the interest he had in Rebecca, he felt disrespected by the way a mere useless, and worthless son-in-law

Joe was shaken as he saw the men that came down. He looked at the beautiful girl and her unsmiling face and this frightened him. Some of his men began to drop their bats in cowardice. Even if he was holding a gun, he could not have the balls to shoot it, he wondered who they were and when Jeremy had been able to reach them. They didn't look like the cops he knew in the city. "What do you want here?" He asked but even as he did, his voice broke and he ended up sounding like a scared teen. The men being him all looked ready to flee as they saw the second door open and even more men poured out. Jeremy too was amazed at the site, he could not tell what was going on even as he looked at the girl and her men. "Rebecca is my sister, she is the CEO of the Jason group, you don't want to mess with me or you will have her to contend with." He warned. The girl scoffed and moved away from him like he didn't matter, waving to her men to handle him themselves."My sister's boyfriend is Greg, h

Everyone gasped and remained frozen as his heart became even more faint. His face was becoming blue and the heart monitor was leveling off and quickly straightening out completely. Jeremy could see the fear in Ella's eyes. He knew that if he let the lord of the Woodson family die, Ella would be in big trouble. He moved the doctor aside and went to the lord's bedside. "He's just taken his medicine, you must not disturb him! Move aside, you quack!" The doctor snapped. No one could support him anymore because they saw that the lord was not improving but dying. Checking his pulse, Jeremy knew that the lord had very little time left, his pulse was weaker than he thought and his heart was almost ceasing. "The lord has been poisoned." He told the family. "What? Are you certain? How?" Clifford asked, even though he too was stunned into silence with how much the lord's health had worsened after the shot the doctor gave to him. "Don't panic," Jeremy told everyone as he dug into his poc

Ella was glad that Jeremy had taken the invitation, she wanted to appreciate him for how much he'd helped her company and her family. Immediately, she pulled her phone out of her designer handbag and called her secretary to set up a press conference. It was important to address the public on any misconception that would have arisen due to the Woodson family lord's illness. "Hello," Ella said to her secretary, "I need you to convene the press team right away, there will be a press conference tomorrow and after that, we will organize a business party to celebrate this win." She instructed. "I'll send out a message to all shareholders at once." The secretary replied eagerly. "Good, make sure everything is in place." She added. The secretary said she'd get right to it and then Ella hung up. Ella could not wait to get the press conference out of the way and make sure that the family and company's reputation was intact. "I'm so glad you'll show up." She said again, making Jeremy eve
