Larry stopped the cab he was in immediately he got a glimpse of Liana's red car by the roadside as the cops were examining it from behind. He got out of the can and ran to where the car was.He saw how badly the car got damaged from behind and the stains from Liana's blood on the ground. A cop saw him and looked at him suspiciously but Larry didn't mind as his mind was occupied with the thoughts of Liana."Mister, are you related to the victim?" The policeman asked curiously, rolling his eyes at Larry.Larry rubbed his jaw as he cleared his throat to speak. "I'm the victim's boyfriend." He said nervously.The policeman nodded in understanding. "Did she tell you about her whereabouts or something? The accident was grace you know?""She didn't tell me about her whereabouts. I would have stopped her from going out if this was going to be the case." Larry said as he gazed at the damaged car. "We'll need you to stay around for some questioning." Larry shook his head disapprovingly. "I do
"I called for the guardian of the victim and he's here already." The doctor said as his gaze locked with the scared-faced man who seemed to be in shock at the doctor's outburst.Larry was also curious to know who this so-called guardian of Liana was as he was the only one who had appeared to be her guardian so far and her husband couldn't come over since they'd been divorced. He thought deeply as he cleared his throat to speak. "Well, I'm her guardian." He said as he brought out a chair oops the doctor and settled down.The doctor heaved a sigh. "Mr. Richard, please make yourself known to him." He said, gesturing to the man sitting on Larry's left-hand side to make his presence known.Richard turned around with the swivel chair as he came to face with Larry who gazed at him in awe and disgust. "I'm not surprised you showed up as her guardian after all." He said furrowing his brows at him."Well if you aren't surprised by my presence then I am to yours." Larry retorted, rolling his eye
Richard thought of how to strike a deal with the acclaimed man from the Conrad family. The more he thought about it, the more interested he became. Larry on the other hand was waiting for Richard to say something before he left since Liana's situation came first before anyone else. Seeing that Richard didn't have anything more to say, he turned around to leave curing him inwardly.He wondered why the man appeared all of a sudden when he asked for a divorce and now that the divorce had been finalized he still claimed to be the victim's husband when he wasn't by law.After so much thought, Richard finally thought of what to say that'd spark Larry and capture his attention. "If you are indeed from the Conrad family, I can help you locate the chairman." He said with a smug look on his face.Larry halted in his tracks as he turned around to face him, chuckling darkly to Richard's surprise as he didn't expect Larry to laugh at his words. As he found it difficult to understand his personalit
Chris, Coldie, Yue Wang, and the other men in black suits gathered around in the sitting room, their expressions weary. Their eyes were glued to the big screen as today was the accession of Chris to become the CEO of RIC CORPORATION but why weren't they happy? Chris heaved a sigh as he rested his back on the chair massaging his scalp as he clasped his hands, his eyes glued to the big screen.Coldie wasn't left out as a gasp escaped his lips, his mouth heavy to say anything at the moment. "The chairman is supposed to be around by now since today is the long-awaited day." He said as he twitched his brows at the big screen."But you said he'd be home in no time, why isn't he home now or should we postpone the accession?" Chris asked, massaging his forehead, tired of the whole situation at hand.Yue Wang sniffed, using a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her eyes. It's been three days and the chairman hasn't called home, even Coldie who everyone thought knew about the chairman's whereab
"Young master, the meeting was a success," Coldie said with a proud smile on his face.Chris couldn't believe that he was finally the CEO of the prestigious company. The higher-ups didn't make him feel uncomfortable as he enjoyed every phase of the meeting. Seeing his office made his heart clench in excitement."My office space is huge." He said, a gasp escaping his lips as he examined the interior of his office which was captivating with a manly aura.Coldie nodded in response. "I'm glad you like your office space."Chris walked towards his desk, his hands touching every part of the wooden desk, his name boldly written on the tablet on the desk. "Wow, I'm impressed. Grandfather already had everything done.""Yes, the chairman is always ahead of his subjects. Besides he'll be happy after knowing you're already the CEO." Coldie said, a satisfactory smile placed on his lips.A sigh escaped Chris's lips. He took out a chair and sat on his, sadness washed over his face as he crossed his l
The members of the board meeting believed everything Cosmos said about Chris becoming the next CEO. He distributed the documents with the Chairman's signature and Chris's signature to every member seated. They all flipped through the papers, their eyes staring hard at each part of the paperwork."The man does have a similar look to the chairman and the chairman told us beforehand that there'll be a meeting regarding the new CEO and that's why we're all gathered here." A man from the board of directors said."Of course. The chairman isn't in the country and every single detail about the meeting will be sent to him so we need to handle everything with care." Cosmos said firmly."Why don't he introduce himself?"On hearing that, Chris almost lost it, he was too nervous to face these people with stern-looking faces. His anxiety became clear to Cosmos and he can't let the meeting go on without Chris not introducing himself. That was necessary. He gave Chris a reassuring smile and pulled him

Chris couldn't believe what just came out of Cosmos's mouth. How could Cosmos be amongst the past CEO of his grandfather's company when they weren't even related by blood and if so why didn't he continue with the CEO task other than for them to hand it over to him? A whirlwind of thoughts clouded his mind as he couldn't keep his gaze off Cosmos who was standing in front of him, leaning on the cupboard. The more he kept staring at his face, the more bothersome he became. What were they hiding from him? What didn't he know? Chris was set to not only grant his mother's last wish but to unveil the chairman's secret and past doings."Young master, my face might end up having a hole if you keep staring," Cosmos said with a firm look on his face."Oh," Chris shifted his gaze away from him. "I didn't realize."Cosmos understood the expression on Chris's face. "Young master you don't need to be worried about how I first became RIC CORPORATION CEO. The chairman was desperate since he hadn't loc
