"I don't seem to understand what you're talking about." Jackson frowned at Kenneth. "How is Morgan's arrival at the company any of my business!""I refuse to believe you can't see what this means?" Owen snapped at him. "That traitor is at the company only to watch your actions and easily cause issues about it.""Let him bring it on, then!" Jackson was furious. "That's because the matter here, what are we going to do about the Supreme Seal? I need to have a look at it before the tournament comes up.""Is that what you really want?" Owen asked after a minute of silent tension in the room. "I was speaking to Kenneth, Mr Owen." Jackson didn't understand why the man couldn't speak up. Owen was merely a board member who didn't even have the right to listen to such confidential matters. "I can't make it available anytime soon." Kenneth finally spoke up when he noticed the expression on Jackson's face. "Why exactly?""Erm, I'll be out travelling the country in a few days, I can't go to th
Jackson squinted his gaze at Morgan. "You should watch what you say, before you get slammed with a slander lawsuit in the nearest future!" He remained cool and expressionless on the outside. He had given Anna Wilson a good threat, if she dared to tell any living aoul about it, then she wouldn't blame him for what happened. "My men are still investigating, but I'm only wanting you. Do not cross your boundaries with me, at work or with my family!" Morgan added again before storming off. After speaking with a few more board members, Jackson made his way to his office. On his way, he decided to stop at the men's restroom to wash his hands. He hadn't stepped in when he heard two men discussing. "Don't you think this new Head of Managers is going too far?"The other man laughed. "Let him keep being deluded. He's new so he doesn't understand that this comaony no longer has a backbone. It's just a disaster, waiting to happen!"Jackson gritted, wiping his hands to go confront them. "Ever
Jackson groaned, blinking his eyes open to meet himself in an uncomfortable position. "What's this?" He frowned, getting up from the sofa where he laid. How did he get here? And why was his head aching so much. He'd barely gotten up when the memory flooded back to him. He had followed Morgan and discovered the hospital where Luka was hiding. So shocked to see him face to face, Jackson wanted to ask him a barrage of questions when someone hit him unconscious. Morgan! It had to be that bastard! "I'll kill you today!" Jackson got up abruptly, pulling against the muscles of his back. He groaned in pain and fell back down.Why did he feel so weak? He also felt pain and aches all over his body. What had they done to him?"Boss, are you in there?" His secretary, Carmen banged hard on the door. "I'm here." Jackson was shocked at how weak his voice sounded. "Come in."The woman's eyes turned huge when she saw him. "What happened to you, Boss?" She pointed at his torn clothes which h
"You're merely a freak that is getting concerned about something that isn't your business, with time you'll learn!" Xander hissed bitterly as Jackson made his way out. In the office, Jackson was restless, wondering how his company got filled with this sort of people in the first place.On the outside, it seemed like Ryder&Wil was waxing stronger but in reality, the company was very close to a big crash. "My father didn't leave the company this way, it deteriorated in the care of Kenneth and that his creepy friend!" Jackson hit his fists angrily on the table. "I have to do something about this, I can't just watch all what my father worked hard for go down the drain!"Jackson settled into his seat to place a call to Slade. He needed reports concerning what really happened at Serlar Malls before he takes his next step. As he was about to pick the phone, his door swung open and two bulky security men barged in. "There's trouble, Boss!" They panted heavily. Jackson felt a deep forebod
"We demand an explanation right now!" The uproar was getting louder and more violent.The security was now struggling to control them. "Call the police!" Jackson ordered. "That would lead to them arresting you, sir. We can't do that.""Arrest me for what?" Jackson asked angrily.He couldn't wait till Slade arrived, these people would have caused irrevocable damage before then! And he couldn't risk laying hands on the women in front of everyone. "Do as he says and call the police! It's better for the trash to take itself out!" Xander shouted. "Aren't you getting things wrong, Mr VP?" Mr Blake had to ask. "We can investigate his identity case later, but for now we have to find a way to stop this crowd, else there will be colossal damage of the company properties!"Xander turned his fierce look at the man, but before he could reply, Anna butted in."Sack him, Jackson Ryder must be relieved of his duties!" She shouted with bulging veins, the crowd echoing her. "For awarding the contra
When everything was calm, Kenneth made his way back to his Porsche in the garage. "All clear." He whispered.The man inside the car nodded. "Interesting drama, there." Kenneth didn't say a word, just escorted the man inside the company through the VVIP lifts.He didn't want anyone seeing them together after such a incident at the company. "I saw Morgan leaving just now, isn't he aware of the meeting you called?" Owen asked. "That scoundrel!" Kenneth frowned. "His input and opinions wouldn't matter anyway."Owen didn't say anything, he just made his way to Kenneth office which had a small conference room. Kenneth pressed the intercom, ordering a secretary to bring in drinks and desserts. Jackson stepped in with Slade a few minutes later. "Are we here to celebrate a feast or find solutions to the problems plaguing my company?" He registered his displeasure angrily. "Calm down, Master. We can still deliberate while having some snacks." Kenneth tried to pacify him. "Where did you e

Jackson woke up the next day to receive a plethora of bad news.Two more malls under Ryder&Wil had caught fire, a supermarket was completely vandalized by hoodlums, and a Hotel was shut down by the government due to careless regard of safety for the public. Jackson sat at the breakfast table for a long time, his mind spinning to different possibilities."Why exactly is this happening at the same time?" His expression grew darker and darker. It couldn't be a mere coincidence.Something has to be wrong somewhere!"Boss, it's almost time for you to leave." Slade interrupted his thoughts. "Have you been able to discover anything about the fire incident that happened at the Serlar Malls?" Jackson asked. "The police are still investigating, and the place has been sealed off public intrusion.""But the way I see it, that investigation will be wrapped up in a few weeks and everything swept under the carpet!" Slade gritted. "Did you meet the manager, staffs or anyone at all?""I did, Boss.
