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.
"Ahh, the smell of freshly minted dollar notes turns me on!" The leader of the Alpha Men opened the box to retrieve the wads of cash. "I have a feeling this will be a profitable deal, bring chairs for our guests!" He ordered the others. In no time, table and chairs was set up to the meeting.Jackson and the leader toasting each other to a bottle of wine. "So tell me what you want in exchange for all that cash. We're ready to serve you!""I got this receipt from someone last week." Jackson handed it over. The leader glanced over it lazily, passing it to his men behind. "You guys have an idea what purchase this was?""No.." They all school their heads. Jackson nodded.These men weren't among the people that bought the sculpture and murdered Betty. "Well, that woman took my father's sculpture from his penthouse and sold it to some of your men, I'm only here to offer you this money in exchange for retrieving it. That sculpture means a lot to me!" Jackson said firmly. "Sculpture?" th
Jackson and Slade arrived at the center of the city, making their way into the Central Square. The Serlar Malls was located entirely on a separate stretch of road. It used to be a big building containing all sorts of things needed by humans. Now all that was left was a black, scarred building standing like an eyesore. This was millions of dollars burnt down just like that! Anger flowed through Jackson's veins as he stepped past the caution tape into the Mall. The entire walls were covered with soot up to the roof. Burnt residues of shelves, clothes, goods and food stuffs littered the large hall. The bricks partitioning the hall into subsections had totally collapsed. "I'm 100% confident this fire wasn't caused by a cigar and a glass of alcohol." Slade muttered as he picked some soot from the wall to smell it. "The moment I saw the mall from outside, I already discredited that useless excuse!" Jackson nodded, bending to inspect a pile of iron in one corner. It's color seemed d
The next day was a board meeting. Jackson had to set up a presentation concerning the new product to be launched.Everyone listened carefully till he finished before beginning to add their own input."Isn't this going too far?" Xander butted in immediately. "We already have inflation on our hands, and old products are at the risk of getting pro e increased.""This is bad timing for a new product launch, don't you think?" He turned around to ask the others. There was silence before Ernestine spoke up. "Well, if we follow Mr Ryder's logic. We stand to gain more profits with this product, and it will go a long way in clearing our current debts!""Exactly." Mr Kent also nodded. "That's the major issue we should be concerned about. Clearing the debts, so this company doesn't go bankrupt when repayment time comes!""Oh, really?" Keith spoke up. "How sure are we that his hypothesis will be 100% accurate? Let me remind you, the market doesn't work as smoothly as presented in images.""This i
Jackson gritted his teeth, making his way out of the security tower. The footage had been tampered by the person behind all this. "What is wrong, sir? Why do you need to find this person?" The head security followed behind him. Jackson looked down at the briefcase in his hand, frowning. "It's nothing, just forget this ever happened."The man hesitated to say something. He nodded briskly and ordered his men back their posts. Jackson returned to the office to reveal the contents of the briefcase. To his chagrin, it contained a few documents with confidential secrets about Wil&Ryder Group. These are things only he and Kenneth should know.And of course, Morgan! How could he forget that traitor? He was the one the woman wanted to meet. Jackson returned all the documents into the briefcase and kept it away. At the end of official hours, he took a community bus intending to go pay Mr Edwin a visit again.Perhaps he would be able to get more answers from him this time. Jackson arriv
The meeting ended with Xander, Nicholas, Isaac Moore, Keith, Jacob and Roman sneering at Jackson like usual. How did he rouse enmity with almost all the board members in less than 2 weeks of him arriving here? Jackson chuckled at himself. Only Ernestine and Kent were neutral to him. And he could tell their opinions of him had shifted negatively from today's event. Jackson was finally able to return to his office without banters and mockery. He settled on his chair, a small smirk on his face. Keith would be worried sick, searching for that flash drive. Yesterday while he was searching the briefcase, he found a flash drive in a secret compartment.The contents was nothing other than Keith's sexual escapades with the woman that delivered it. Jackson had no idea how it got into the box, but he was glad to have found it. It was all making sense now. Keith hired his girlfriend to pretend to want to see Morgan, bump into him and leave the briefcase with him. They didn't factor one
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. "Eve
