“Firstly, I don’t know who they are and secondly, I’m innocent of their claim.” He informed the police officer courteously.“This is critical. We have two criminals pointing you as their boss, they wouldn’t point a fake person that isn't their boss, would they?” The police officer raised a brow and he smirked.“We never can tell until we try.” He curled his lips.“What do you mean?” The police officer stared at him intently.Following what Jamal had suggested, the police officer found some colleagues who weren’t dressed in uniform, and each of them stood with him in their midst, intending to test the criminals. The police officer gave the criminals a dirty look.“Now, who is your boss among them? Who ordered you to kidnap Melanie Alcantara?” The police officer asked the criminals seriously and they shivered in shock with their fingers trembling. They didn’t know who to point as their fingers wandered from one officer to another, back to Jamal and another officer. It was obvious that t
The mysterious call last night led Jamal to take a drastic risky step.“What? He is leaving the family mansion?” Madam Felicia rushed down the stairs, draping her nighties across her. The others followed from behind.“Then, where will start living?” Madam Theresa questioned with a brief pause. “We don’t want the press to announce that we chased you out of the mansion, you know.” Madam Theresa informed him slightly.“No worries, everyone. Master Jamal would be living at the Jackie-Ville presidential suite from now on.” Dennis announced to them and they gasped in shock.“What?” Martins’ eyes rolled from his mother back to Jamal, the poor thief who came “just” yesterday, now trampling on them like daily bread.“I thought that suite was restricted from everyone until a successor is being chosen?” James raised a brow, looking utterly confused.“Mr. Dennis, we can never let him set his filthy foot in that suite. That’s absurd!” Madam Felicia queried in annoyance.“Do you have a way of stopp
"Sir, establishing another branch means handing it over to a managing director." Dennis began. "Between your stepbrothers, do you think any of them are eligible?" Dennis raised a brow and he shook his head."I don't care about their eligibility when I have you." He said and Dennis reacted taken back while staring at him."Young master..." Dennis was impressed that Jamal trusted him."When the new branch is launched, you will become the managing director and work with me." He informed him, taking his jacket from his seat."Sir, are you going somewhere?" Dennis raised a brow."Yes, I have a date." He said nervously."A date? Seems things are getting pretty well between you and Miss. Melanie." Dennis chuckled."No doubt. I will be off now." He picked up his car keys and left the office.Martins and James paced around in their mother's, while Madam Felicia concentrated on the call. "What's the remedy?" Martins fired at his mother immediately after she got off from the call."We are doome
"If not you, I doubt if we have a potential candidate." Leo shook his head.They were having the regular morning board meeting, to discuss the development and new strategies to be enacted into the company."I'm right here, you know." Martins nervously cleared his throat."After what you did last time, I doubt if anyone would accept you into their industry." One of the shareholders began. "I mean, they might disqualify you thinking you cheated." The shareholder added and everyone nodded in agreement."That's too cruel, you should learn how to use your words." Madam Felicia snorted."Says the same person that publicly disgraced her own stepson for his little setback." A staff rolled her eyes in disgust.Jamal cleared his throat, trying to stop the atmosphere from ruining completely."We just got the memo." He began. "Since everyone voted for me, I will try my best not to bring bad results." He said steadily."As I heard, it's going to be a live competition between NY and a few other cou
"No, I'm not done." The China contestant said."Then, do you have an issue?" The host walked over to the platform."Not really. Maybe you should increase the cash prize and other rewards because this task is very mighty, and it will also be able to serve Microsoft company in the future." The China contestant suggested, rubbing his forehead."Well, this reward is coming from me and other sponsors. If ever Microsoft is delighted by your performance, they will also grant their benefits." The host explained to him and they nodded, feeling it seemed fair. "But, are you done?" The host raised a brow."Almost." The China contestant smirked as he returned his focus to his laptop screen.It's not up to a minute when Jamal's hand flew in the air. "I'm done." He said seriously, with a small smile resting on his lips."Done as in you accomplished the task?" The host questioned."Yes. Come and take a look." He requested politely.The host looked at the other participants and they were frowning the
"I don't understand the address that you sent. If you can explain properly to me. I will be there in no time." He shrugged, controlling the steering with his hand with the other holding his phone up to his ear."That's why I said you shouldn't end the call, keep coming and you will see me." The caller urged him. "It's a new company I started, the road is not yet linked, and getting an address is hard. I can only direct you through call." The caller added.He looked to his left and right, and all he saw was a thick bush. The road was smooth and isolated and only the sound of crickets could be heard.He was agitating to continue the trip but because Melanie and an investor had assured him, he decided to give it a go. The man sounded hideous over the phone but that aside, he was willing to invest thousands of millions as long as his instructions were followed."I'm at the turning point." He haven a sigh."Keep coming straight." The caller said.To be reassured again, he looked at the tex
"Are you insane? Lay a hand on my daughter and I will show you how mad I can become!" Mr. Alcantara yelled at the detective's face as they stepped out of his office."What's going on here?" Mr. Alcantara questioned them seriously. Beside him was Melanie who was staring at them clueless and confused."We received news from the source and also following Mr. Jamal's last chat, that the last person he had contact with was Miss. Melanie and a young man. Currently, the young man is out of sight and our prime suspect is Miss. Melanie." The detective explained rashly."That's ridiculous! I'm his girlfriend." Melanie informed them vividly."We don't care, right now, we have to take you back to the precinct for some questioning." The detective refused.Mr. Alcantara laughed. "What can my harmless daughter do to him? Besides, they have been dating for months now." Mr. Alcantara shook his head. "I won't let my daughter leave here without her lawyer." Mr. Alcantara informed them strictly."I'm not
“Madam Felicia, I’m sorry to say this but you can’t take Jamal out of the hospital!” Dennis refused strongly.“How dare you!” Madam Felicia queried.“I’m saying what’s right!” Dennis queried. “He has money and shares everywhere, don’t you think is wickedness to discharge him? Or do you desperately want his end?” Dennis raised a brow, forgetting he was speaking to a superior.“You have no right to speak with my mother in that manner!” Martins shunned him.“And your mother has no right to control someone’s life!” Dennis yelled.“Are you tired of living?” James asked, irritated.“What do you think?” Dennis raised a brow. He looked so annoyed and angry.“Someone should call the guards to drag this old fool out of here!” Madam Felicia scoffed in disgust. “I have always been mild with you because of the relationship you had with my late husband but if you continue to act along with that little rag, I will make sure you join him.” She threatened him seriously.“Then, you should stay clear be
