After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Chapter 21
Bethany sighed. “You're right. This is too much for someone to have. Especially someone with a job like his, or status like his. I'll look into the matter.” “I'm coming with you. There's no need to worry, okay? We are going to uncover all that's needed. You don't need to worry.” There were no words, silence reigned, and she sighed. “Fine. Then let's get moving. Whatever we need isn't going to be found out here, we both know that.” “Yeah, you're right,” Bethany responded as she pushed herself up from her head alongside Henry. They walked towards the door, and then he paused. “Let's take my car. I'll be delighted to drive you.” He added. Not really having a choice, she decided to let him tag along, but warned him sternly. “I'll be the one doing the topic. There's no need for you to put your mouth in businesses that do not concern you, and also, I'll ensure that everything is uncovered if you cooperate.” Henry smirked. “You wouldn't even know I'm here, but there are so many houses

Bethany looked around to see that there were more suitcases stuffed with letters when she tried to open them. At some point, she got tired. She squeezed her face, and immediately fisted her hands. However, she wanted to make sure the investigation was complete. “What if the letter was something bad. You should check it out. Maybe there's more. Let's pour out the letters, check deeper. Something's definitely wrong.” He urged and the next thing she did shocked him. She walked over to where the letters were and made sure to pick them up, and then she stared at the envelope for a few seconds before pulling out the letter that was inside. Bethany's eyes darted around the lines, and the frown that was there slowly started to turn into a smile. She stared at the letter with so much compassion it got him worried about what it might be. “What does the letter say? Does it incriminate him?” Henry asked. He seemed more interested in what the letter was saying, so he inched closer to

“You must actually be kidding me. Do you think I would want to cover up a crime? Checking those boxes will take forever, and you want us to do that now because you're insecure, or sure of a crime when clearly the letter says it's for charity.” He frowned. “That's the point. The letter. That letter contained a huge help that he offered. How was he able to get that kind of money? The case isn't closed. If you close down the case then I guess it's because you want to, but as for me, I don't think I want the case closed now until every letter is open.” His voice was certain, with no remorse. Bethany clenched her fists, her glare sharp. As much as she wanted to argue, she knew Henry had a point. Still, the thought of dragging her team into unnecessary trouble made her hesitate. She sighed, anxiety settling in her chest. She had made a promise to herself to make sure Norman comes out of prison, but she still needs to follow certain procedures. “You know why I’m doing this,” Henry said fi

Mr Lucas the mayor was now seated with Mr Havold, Henry's father. They seemed to be having a good time, sipping wine, and enjoying themselves.A laugh erupted from Lucas' lips. He was the happiest at this time. However, Havold was quiet, watching him speak. “I must say, your son is really something. He was the one who uncovered everything. I'm so proud of him. You must be really proud as well.” Havold chuckled. He seemed to be enjoying the conversation. His eyes were fixed on the mayor who was still busy praising his son.“Yes of course I'm proud of my son. Besides, he was the reason a fraud star like Norman was caught. I really want to make sure he stays in jail forever. Thankfully he has video evidence that can change everything. But it's not such a big deal.”Lucas raised his brows. “What did you say, not a big deal? Are you kidding me?” Lucas exclaimed it seemed he had a lot in mind as well. His lips were parted, and he stared at Havold for a while. It seemed Havold wasn't as i

Havold was seated in the conference where a lot of big shots had been announced. He couldn't help but look around, and smile. This was his moment to shine, and his son had given that opportunity, he was going to make the best of it.Soon, their family name was going to spread, and a lot of people were going to know their family name for the good things they did, with the positive reviews from the public, they'll become one of the most important people in society.A smirk plastered on their lips, and there was a bit of confusion. No one knew what was actually going on here, at least not yet. There were many murmurs. Some say that Havold had come to tell the truth.Suddenly, Havold cleared his throat, his eyes glued to the crowd.“Good day ladies, and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and even Amazon journalists. I want to thank you for honouring my person, and for coming here to uncover the mask of a very corrupt man.” He spoke with a loud voice that demanded attention.As soon as he s

“ma'am, can you please give us the information we want to hear? You being quiet doesn't really confirm anything.” Immediately that way said, Bethany raised her head, and handed a white envelope that has been in her hands for a while. “Take this, and read it to the world. This is what we have been seeing. Letters like this.” She expressed, passing another angry gaze at Henry before walking away. Her hands were shaking, and she wanted nothing more than to leave that place.Immediately the journal list got her eyes on the letter, she turned towards the camera, and started reading the inked letters. However, at some point, she frowned, but didn't stop reading.“Thank you, Mr Norman for all you do. My family would never stop being grateful for all the things you have done for them. You have shown them that there's always someone with a difference. You are that person.” She gaped, but then the bank officials went in with some of the other officials it seemed they wanted to see things for

Havold couldn't contain himself in the car. His eyes darkened, and he tried to understand himself. There was something definitely going on, something that nobody understood.It wasn't as easy as expected, and things were going haywire. As soon as he got to Lucas’s office, he didn't wait for his presence to be told. He rushed into the office, and rushed to where Lucas was seated.“Did you see what happened out there? Why didn't you tell me about you knowing the truth?” Lucas' eyes widened. “How did you know that? Yes I knew the truth, but I didn't know how to approach you, but come on. You were already in the conference. Your phone wasn't even being passed to you no matter how many times I called.”With that, he immediately slammed both hands on the table. Havold wasn't having it. He had a fixed expression. His eyes turned dark, and he immediately demanded to know why he was quiet all the while.“You knew this was going to happen and at the end of the day, you didn't even bother to te

“You have us unverified information. I believe very well that this was your fault. Come on, you have to understand that there are a lot of things involved here.”He nodded. “ I admit that it was both of our fault, but I have a solution. How about we do something about the people. We bring up those that are against normal. I know they'll support us. How about we make them know who's boss?”“You're right. I think there's a way to make that happen. It's all a matter of time. I'll get in contact with some of the men, and ensure they all find something to charge him with.”He was bragging hard, but Havold listened to everything that was being said. “Listen anyway you do it, as long as it is in my favour, then I don't care. I don't want to have to hear anything about being impeached.”Lucas gulped. “There's no problem. Everything is going to be fine. I have a feeling it's going to be.” “Better.” Havold replied, and walked away from there. He hated everything that was happening, and couldn

Lucas paced round his office, his hands on his chin, and a confused look etched on his face. No doubt things had turned worse than he expected. He was tired, and was worried about the way things were. His heart drummed, and he smiled. There was a lot that was already on his plate, but he didn't know what he was going to face when he handed that kind of power to Drake.His face squeezed and he fished his hands. His eyes darkened as he thought of everything that was involved. The fact that things are already upside down was what he didn't understand. He was trying to make sure things fall in place, but it didn't seem right. “I was so stupid!” He slammed the counter top that was in front of him with a frown. So many things were playing on his mind, and he was trying to cause everything to be normal again. “Now he's holding two most Powerful offices in his hands and even when the Robberies had stopped, there were still a lot of things involved. He was still trying to understand the wa

Bethany was determined to follow Norman's words, so she returned to the office and gathered as many as she could. She was worried that things were going to fall out of place, but at the same time she knew things would never be in place if she didn't do things like this.“So what's the plan?” He asked. Another close colleague Simon who had been with her throughout the operation asked, and she immediately sighed.“Well this is the thing. We already know what they are up to, and we have to burst them. This is the exact place and time of the operation…” she explained, and at that moment she noticed she started to pay attention to everyone's movements.Made sure to plant recording devices in strategic places just to make sure she was able to catch who was giving her information out to others.After a week of studying, she finally found the culprit. Her eyes widened when she noticed the fake evidence she had planted in her drawer. She had stayed over time at the office, and watched how the

Bethany had planned to expose Drake on TV that morning. Her heart drummed, and she felt the excitement. All the evidence she needed was in her computer, and she was certain she would be able to get things done.Arriving at her office, she looked around, feeling that something was off, but everything was perfectly in order. Her eyes scanned the place, and it was then she noticed there was something off. Her heart drummed, and she immediately tried to check everything.The next moment she walked over to the computer, she noticed there was something wrong. Her eyes widened, and her face turned pale. “It was right here. Right here!!!” she screamed, and then ran her hands through her hair in frustration. Everything that she had put there was blank. She immediately shook her head, squinting her eyes as she waited for the computer she turned off to reboot. It was complicated. How was that able to happen. Everything felt off. She was trying her best to finally come to pass, and she was tr

Drake's power grew. Everything seemed to be under control, and he seemed to be loving it so much. He had archived all that was needed, and what was left was simple. He was finally going to be able to work things out for himself. “Now that I'm occupying a great office, how about I do something to change my life,” he expressed, and just then there was a knock on the door thsh interrupted him. At first he smiled, and then he frowned again. Everything was supposed to be alright, but it didn't seem like it. His secretary who was now on his side was the one who came into the room. On her face was concern, and in her hands were some files.“Here's the file you asked for Mr drake…” she commented with a smirk and immediately got a nod from him.As soon as she handed him the document, he used his eyes to scan it, and he nodded, waving her off with his hands before he was finally able to do anything else.Once she was gone, he squinted his eyes. The budget was about 10 million but he thought,

Bethany was still really confused. She didn't expect what had happened. Infact, she was in shock. Everything being exposed was way too much for her to comprehend.“So you said it's an old gang, and you managed to disband some of its members, so how did–” Norman paused, his right hand on his chin as he paced around the cell.“Well I'm not sure I did that how. If their logo still exist, and you caught someone from the gang. It was obvious the gang was bigger than I thought.” Bethany’s heart drummed, and she stared at him, more confused. Did he just say bigger? She was already so close to getting a clue, and she found out it was only a drop in the ocean.Furrowed lines wrapped around her face, and she pressed her lips together, her head and eyes lowered as she sank deep with her thoughts.“You really think you didn't stop them enough some years ago? I'm pretty sure there's nothing against them. Besides, there are a lot of things going on right now.” No words were said, and she immedia

Timmy wasn't ready to do my biddings at first, but once I had explained to him about what had happened, he immediately went to his laptop.“So you want me to research about this criminal guy, right?” He asked and Bethany nodded. That was what she needed. She needed him to actually help her dig deeper into it. She stood close to him while he sat on the computer, his eyes squinted as he punched the letters staring at the file I had handed to him for a little while. “Mmmm, he sure has a lot of criminal records. What the hell!” He yelled, and was worried about the way things were. Once he had pressed the search button, he immediately laid back, and placed his hands on his lips.“It seems like there are a lot of things involved. I really don't know what you want to know when you have the necessary information on what was happening. I really needed to do something today, and you're not helping me out by being here.”She frowned. “Shut up and do what you need to do. I need everything for m

Bethany returned back home, troubled, and worried. Her expression was filled with wrinkles, and she couldn't stop acting around her room. Her right thumb, and index finger were on her wrist, and cheek.“So what's the plan? What exactly do you have in mind?” she asked, and there was silence. No one was actually there to respond to her.Asides from her worry about Hassan Drake meeting with an unknown man, she was still worried about the criminal that had been locked up and didn't want to say anything about his gang. “Now that I see Drake making some strange movements, I feel like there are other things underneath that I need to find out. Something I'm not being told.”She sighed, but tried before to contain herself. Everything about the situation seemed to overwhelm her, but she didn't want it to be so.“I'll ensure I investigate, and bring them down. But how do I do that?” she pondered all through the night, sitting on her bed to jot down some clues. She started by taking notes of eve

Once Drake was done striking the deal, he stood up, adjusting his clothes before staring one last time at his newly made business partner.However, there was something else he'll need to handle. His face turned dark as he walked out of the restaurant towards the garage where his car was packed.Upon getting to his car, he pulled open the door, but paused, raising his head to look upwards because something seemed off.His face was filled with wrinkles, his eyes moving around to check for something suspicious.“Hmmm…” he hummed, squinting his eyes as he wondered what was happening, but then he shrugged his shoulders and walked away. To him, there was nothing wrong with what was going onBy the time he entered the car, he inserted the keyhole, the engine roared, and he was set to make everything set. He was trying his best to ensure that things went well as well.Once at his destined stop, he stepped out of the car and also adjusted his suit.He looked around, and then nodded his head. I
Chapter 41
Drake was in the restaurant with an unknown man and all these were being watched by Harris, and Bethany. Drake shook hands, and was even smiling, before sipping a glass of wine afterwards.“What's going on there, I really wish to know. I can't see him smiling like that with an unknown figure and not question what the hell is going on. Come on, we need to know what's happening. I mean, there's a lot already on our plate. I need you to understand the way things are.”“Yes I understand. I too want to know what the hell is going on. Drake can't be trusted, and the way he's smiling seems to show that there's something going on. Do you understand what I'm saying?”“Yes, yes I do. I really do. I just want you to know that there's a lot of things involved. But I really think we should storm in there, and interrogate them…” Bethany was the one giving this suggestion. Her eyes were focused on the clear glass that revealed the people in the restaurant, and she frowned her face.Harris on the ot
