Jake spent the following day crouching over files and studying them. Despite his numerous visits to their different companies, he still haven't covered up to one tenth of the companies he owned. He was going through the files as his grandfather insisted and Richard was there to help him if need be. By evening, he decided to take a break. Then he recalled that there was a get together the following day. He went to his wardrobe and picked out a shirt and trousers. They were not very fashionable but they were decent and good looking. He gave them to one of the household servants and ordered her to dry clean the clothes. The D-day for the gathering was finally here. Jake got dressed in the outfit he had picked the previous day. His driver was dutifully waiting for him downstairs. “Good morning, Mr Frederick. Which car are we going in, sir?”“Get the Bugatti,” Jake responded. The driver, Ken, did as he was told and drove the Bugatti out of the garage. Jake got in and the journey began.
“Did you not hear? He's been kicked out of the family,” another clarified. “Hahaha. Who knows, as a pathetic fellow, he must have gone to beg them for the car after they made it big in the last exhibition.”“Right! That's very true. You have a point there.”Jake heard them clearly but he didn't utter a word. He would speak, but not now, he had no time for these small frys. He made his way into the room and sat down on a seat. The event started and the noisy boys outside came inside. There were already listed and lines up activities for the day and they all began. Nearly all the guys were richly dressed and even the girls. As the day wore on, Elvis got audience and asked,“Where's our Honda accord driver?” He said this in a loud voice and everyone laughed. They all turned in Jake's direction. “Oh. There he is, having the best meal of his life,” Elvis continued. “I’m reminded of those days when Jake delivered my gifts to my girlfriend from Lily high,” one guy from Springton Univers
This time, Jake could not lie low. His facial expression changed to one filled with rage and fury and his eyes blood shot. How dare that slimy bastard empty his plate of food on him? He could keep calm for their taunts and insults but definitely not this one. While everyone was staring, waiting to see Jake's reaction, over ninety percent expected him to kneel before Kelvin and beg for mercy, so that he does not deal with him even more. Contrary to their expectations, Jake stood up and grabbed Kelvin by the collar. He gave him a slap and stretched his hands towards another plate of food on the table. He too emptied it on Kelvin. This happened in few seconds and by the time the onlookers recovered, Kelvin was drenched in Korean sauce while dropped down his face and onto his impeccable suit and white shirt. “What?”“Jake? Do you want to die?”“Have you lost your mind?”“Oh dear. Jake had better said his last prayers now.”“Great. Now, Kelvin will deal with that low life once and for al
The bouncers pointed at the three men and Alberto's men went for them immediately. With a dirty slap, they sent the three of them sprawled on the floor. Jake touched his face and saw there was blood on it. He raised his hands and called out to Alberto.“Ahhh. There's blood on the young master. They will pay for it ten folds. Pray, young master, don't escalate the issue. I will handle it, please.”Alberto gave more orders to his men to beat the four boys as well as the bouncers to pulp. Bones were cracked, faces were disfigured and they men yelled pleaded for mercy. Jake took out his phone again and sent a text to Richard. “Get rid of Mr Presley of Medo Hall company right now!”A minute later, he received a text from Richard,“Done sir!”Jake put his phone back into his pocket and smiled to himself. “Never in your lives will you all mess with me.”He went out of the hall and got to the back where Alberto and his men were dealing with the culprits. When Alberto saw him, he asked,“S
“It's a certain handsome man with the last name Rang. He's said to be a foreigner because it was his bank account that was used to make the payment for the purchasing of the company. We will find him in the near future!”Jake heaved a sigh of relief. He wasn't caught. He had made a smart move when he asked Richard to make the payment for that company with a legal business name. “That's great. Soonest the man would be found and you will thank him in person,” he intoned. “That's right. I need to thank him so much for elevating me. He's my benefactor and that reminds me, my dear friend. In two weeks, everything will be ready and I'll have the right to assign roles. Send in your CV so that I'll put you in the list for the qualified workers. You know that you are a graduate and deserve a better job too!”“Oh right. I'll do that as soon as I get home, thank you very much,” Jake responded but he knew that he would definitely come up with an excuse. He couldn't trouble his friend to give h
Jake sent for his driver and instructed him to drive him to a well known hotel in the state. It happened that this hotel was owned by him, it was one of the companies under the Frederick conglomerate. He wanted to relax and enjoy a beautiful view. He got to the hotel and went straight to the VIP swimming pool. He took out his headphones, sat down and enjoyed both the music and the beautiful waters. “Tsk Tsk! Is this the cleaner or janitor? Hey! Who let you into this place?” Jake heard someone say. He opened his eyes and saw a neatly and smartly dressed young man. “Aha. It's you, poor thing? How did you crawl in here? You must have been sent here to clean and you ended up enjoying the VIP corner. Now, get out before I call the corps you fool!” This man's name is Liam and he and Jake were enemies. The reason was very simple. Liam had always had a huge crush on Sky, she was beautiful, smart and was from a rich family. In fact, she was the Kent family heiress, who would not love her? B
“You are going to hear from me today. In your next life, you will not dare offend me!” Liam screamed. He went in and asked for a towel from the life guards. He came out with the towel and kept pacing to and fro, waiting for his men to arrive and beat the hell out of Jake. But the next time he looked at the entrance, he saw able bodied young men coming in his direction. And they pulled along a middle aged man whom he could recognise at any time. His father! This was a man who was feared and respected in Shawlands. Yet, he was held by some riff raffs.“Hey! How dare you…” he began but was cut short with a slap from one of the men. “Shut up your mouth. And you better kneel and apologize right now!” “What? I will never! Wait. My men are coming and you will be the ones to get on your knees! Do you know who I am? Goodness gracious. What insolence!” he continued. “Dad! Why will they keep you here? Are they mad? Do they know who you are?”“Quiet or I'll have you slapped again,” the man thr
There was someone else who was angry with Jake's existence. That person was Amelia. This useless son in law of hers had outsmarted her and stolen her company from her. There was no way in hell she was going to let him get away with it. It didn't matter to her that he had gotten the best lawyers in the country to sign and seal the document. She was going to get the company back in her own way. She recalled the stunned look on her children's faces that day she announced that the company had been bought by another person. Everything came rushing to her memory as if it happened that day. “Mum! What happened in there? How can you say that someone else has bought the company? After all our hardwork and effort to get this exhibition put together. The proceeds alone would have made us one of the top five wealthy families!” Josie cried. “I'm sorry. It was unexpected but I will do my best to get the company back,” she promised. “Get it back? How do you intend to do that? We have already los
