Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 41
Back at the hospital, Gary sat in his hospital bed. His condition had finally improved and he was ready to get discharged.He anxiously waited for the doctor to arrive. He had been in the hospital for what felt like an eternity, and he was eager to go home. If not for anything, but at least for his work.Several reports he got from Winfield were not appealing. He needed to resume to see things for himself, not just what he was hearing.While he was at this, looking troubled, Steve sat by his side, trying to keep him calm.Suddenly, the door opened and in walked the doctor, a clipboard in his hand. "Good morning, Mr Gary. How are you feeling today?" he asked with a smile."I'm better than before, all thanks to you," Gary replied with a deep frown. He had grown tired of the doctor walking in and asking him questions as regards his health.He felt there were better places he needed to be other than remain within the four walls of an hospital. Hence without thinking twice, he asked. "Wh
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 42
Returning back to his place of office felt a little strange once again to Gary, but this time around, it was backed up by a determination within himself.Gary made use of the elevators, and soon enough, he was at the 12th floor where his office was located.Immediately upon entering his office, Winifield greeted him with a warm smile and a bow. "Welcome back, Mr Carter. It's good to have you back in the office," Winifield said."Thank you, Winifield. It's good to be back," Gary replied, taking a seat behind his desk."So, what can I help you with today?" Winifield asked."I need you to schedule a meeting with the account team immediately. I want to know where issues are arising from and causing the company a setback," Gary replied firmly."I'll get that done right away, boss." Winifield nodded and quickly got to work, pulling out his planner and flipping through the pages. "Mr Carter, how about I schedule a meeting for this afternoon at 2:00 PM. Does that work for you?""Yes, that's
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 43
Gary sat at his desk, flipping through the pages of the document that lay before him. He had read it twice already, but something about it just wasn't sitting right. He furrowed his brow and read through the paragraph again, scanning each line for any hint of what was bothering him.As he reached the signature line, his eyes narrowed. He had spotted something earlier, but had dismissed it as a minor detail. Now, however, he realized it could be the key to understanding what was wrong with the document.He leaned closer to the paper, squinting as he studied the signature. "What is it?" he muttered to himself.Suddenly, the door to his office opened and Winifield walked in. "Boss, the board of directors is requesting a meeting with you," she said, her voice urgent.Gary looked up at him, his mind still trying to process the document in front of him. "Now? I can't do it now, I have too much to do," he replied, his tone frustrated."But they say it's urgent," Winifield insisted.Gary sig

The board meeting was in full swing as Mr Johnson, the CEO, addressed the members. "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to show you something," he said, his voice commanding the attention of the entire room while Gary, sat patiently, waiting for what Mr Johnson had to show him.Mr Johnson picked a document from the table, strolled towards Gary, and said. "Mr president, don't you remember signing this? Don't you remember selling your shares?" He tossed the document before Gary."Selling his shares?" Everyone was stunned. There were murmurs all around. "If he has sold his shares then why insist on retaining the seat of the president? This is completely insane and not to be heard of." A co shareholder said."I can't believe we actually supported him all this while thinking that he could actually handle things."Just the time Gary picked up, Mr Johnson said again. "It should be known to all that Mr Carter here has actually sold his shares the whole time, but pretended not to, as such he r
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 45
The conference room was filled with tension as the board members sat in silence, processing all the bad news that had just been delivered. Mr Johnson, had imaginary smiles drawn across his brow as his eyes scanned the room as he took in the reactions of the board members.Inwardly, he felt his plan had been achieved. Everyone took the words as he had said it without wavering. It should be noted that Mr Johnson was a respected member of the board.He was known to speak wisdom and give ideas that were of course favourable. A more reason why the board members had respected him a lot and taken a lot of respect for his words without asking him to provide evidence.They solely trusted Mr Johnson's judgement in place of Gary, since Gary was a new man.After a few moments of silence, Mr Johnson cleared his throat, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. "I know today's meeting has been filled with some tough news, but I have a surprise for you all that I think will lift your spirits."
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 46
"I didn't do it, I don't know what they are talking about! Let go of me!" Gary shouted as the corpse dragged him towards the door.One of the corps, a bald man with a tattoo on his neck, turned to Gary and sneered. "You're coming with us, buddy. You're a criminal now, and you're going to pay for what you've done."Gary struggled, but they were too strong. They quickly handcuffed him in both hands, making it impossible for him to fight back. As they led him out of the boardroom, Gary felt a sense of shame and humiliation wash over him. This was the second time he was taken by the law innocently. Not that alone, he was treated like a criminal. That alone was overwhelming.The moment they escorted him out of the building, Gary saw the flashing lights of the police car in the distance. He knew then that things were serious. It dawned on him that he wasn't dreaming.Going to jail was in no way a dream. It was serious.Right there, he turned around and yelled. "I want to call my lawyer," G

"Mr Steve!" Winifield picked the phone at first dial. Then, there was a brief pause on the line, and Steve could hear the rustling of papers in the background."Winfield? Any news about Gary! Did he stay back at work?"Steve showed so much concern and inquisitiveness. Not at all Mr Steve, but he actually is in jail."Steve didn't nley the words go cold before he voiced out and said. "Jail! How come? How did he land in jail?" "Mr Steve, I'm as surprised as you are too, but then. The board leader suddenly came around, then he presented evidence to the board. He equally told everyone that Mr Carter sold his shares a long time ago, but then he still pretended to be president.""What!?" Steve couldn't believe his hearing. "What evidence? And who the hell does he think he is to bring up such accusations?""And as for you." He returned to speaking with Winfield. "Why didn't you tell me anything, Winfield? Why did you remain quiet and keep this to yourself?""Mr Steve, the company has been un
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 48
Brayon, the leader of the police department, stood before a group of officers, all involved in the recent case involving Steve and Gary. He took a deep breath and looked around the room, his gaze stern and unwavering."Listen up, everyone," he said, his voice echoing through the quiet room. "I want each and every one of you to apologize to Mr Steve and Mr Carter for what happened, then you all should turn in your badges. You have all proved to be worthless and enemies of the law.""You couldn't represent theaw well, therefore we do not want people among us who would represent the corps with a bad image.""Once again, turn your badges in and apologize."The officers looked at each other, some shifting uncomfortably in their positions, while others stared straight ahead, avoiding Brayon's gaze. Eventually, one officer stood up, his eyes downcast."My apologies Mr Steve," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "We never knew this you g man was really the heir to Carter's consortium. W

CHAPTER 174
The door to the lobby finally opened, and Mr. Bamford walked in with twelve police officers following closely behind him.Silence completely took over the lobby of the building and only the sound of their boots could be heard hitting the tiles as they walked over to where Gary was.The tears in Fallon’s eyes immediately stopped, and a sense of confusion flooded every part of her mind as her eyes followed the officers until they stood in front of her husband and the other five officers."Chief! What are you doing here?” One of the five officers asked with worry evident in his voice. The other four looked just as confused as him, and fear started creeping its way on their faces after the chief didn’t reply immediately.Meeting Gary’s eyes and his bloodstained nose, Mr. Bamford frowned, dragging his gaze down to Gary’s hands locked behind his back, and said, “Uncuff him now!”The firmness in his tone caused Fallon’s eyes to widen with a shocked expression, she opened her mouth, but no wo

The anger that ate at Gary slowly faded, and he looked back to see his wife staring calmly at him, and yet, he couldn‘t stop caring for what she was thinking at that moment about him.Sighing, Gary looked back at Kyle and scoffed, letting go of his collar, causing his back to hit the tile, and a cry escaped his throat.Kyle lay on the floor, holding his chest, crying and moaning, shaking his head as he tried desperately to hold in his sobbing, the room became so quiet that the sound of a pin drop could‘ve been heard.Everyone was shocked by what was happening in the lobby, and Ciara‘s hands were trembling as she tried to remember the police number, her mind a mess.“Ciara! Have you called the police yet?!” Kyle cried in rage as the pain from his face intensified because of the volume of his voice, and he moaned out, “Ciara!”“Yes sir, I‘m sorry sir, um, I need help here...” Ciara stammered with a shaky tone.“What help?”“Umm… What‘s the police number?”“What the hell, Ciara!!”His sw

As the security guards approached Gary and the others, Tom calmly took out a file from his briefcase and looked back at Kyle and the investors.“Well, I am a lawyer with a couple of degrees, including Doctor of Juridical Science degree, and this is a valid will that both Mr. Larsons and the law enforcement officials‘ signatures are on, which proves everything that Fallon has told you guys, that this company is now under her management,” Tom explained calmly, taking out the document and showing it to the investors.“I have worked with Morgan before, and that is definitely his signature on this paper. He‘s a man of honor, and so am I,” Mr. Walker immediately stated, glaring at Kyle.The security reached the scene but immediately stopped out of confusion, seeing that no one was attacking Kyle and just stood there looking at each other.“It could be a fraud! Who knows...” Kyle answered, shrugging nonchalantly.“But we do know. You just blurted out that you thought the will got destroyed a

Gazing intensely into the bathroom mirror, Gary reached for his toothbrush but then paused as a memory of Lawyers Morgans‘ words kept replaying in his head, the looks on his face when he said those words, and the way his body reacted a bit nervously to question about the will.Immediately, he grabbed his phone off the sink and scrolled for Tom‘s number until he got to it, dialing it.After ringing his number, the call got answered and Tom‘s voice popped up through the speaker, “Good morning, Boss...”“I need us to discuss something important later on today," Gary said as he watched the bathroom door reflection in the mirror slowly pushed open, and Fallon popped her head inside. Thankfully, he was tying a towel around his waist.“I'll be on my way then."“Good, we will wait on you guys before we leave, so be here by nine.”Wondering who her he was talking to so seriously at seven in the morning, Fallon reached her hands around his waist and kissed his bare back, resting her head flat a

A look of fear entered Morgan’ eyes, his expression twisting with anxiety, terror, and helplessness as he and Gary continued to stare at each other. “Which will?” Mr. Morgan finally questioned. “The will that Mr. Larson left Fallon,” Gary stated plainly, averting his gaze to stare straight into the old man’s eyes, daring him to try and lie.“Whi-cho-ne…?” Mr. Morgan murmured, barely audible for anyone to hear.Then he saw Gary’s brows furrowing, and he knew that he was getting impatient as his eyes narrowed, and he leaned forward slightly in his chair.“Don’t act like a dummy with me… speak louder.” Gary uttered in a stiff tone.Immediately, Morgan’ face turned pale, his body tensing, and then his eyes widened as he blurted out, “Oooh! Oh!! Do you mean the will Alora gave Fallon the night of Mr. Larson’s death anniversary party?!”“Is there another will for Fallon?” Gary asked as he raised his eyebrows.“No! No… no… I was just scared and my mind took its time to process everything.”

CHAPTER 169
The words that Gary said to Jeremy never left Fallon’s thoughts, even though the morning was now evening, and Gary was sleeping.Adjusting her head on his warm chest, Fallon looked at him, just staring, allowing her thoughts to run wild in her head, as she listened to his heart beating, feeling his chest rise and falling, listening to his breathing.‘What package were you talking about?’ Fallon wondered as she bit her lower lip, thinking furiously.All of a sudden, she heard his phone go off, causing Garyto shift slightly on the bed, hugging onto her waist tightly, and burying his face deeper into her neck “Gary, your phone,” Fallon whispered, feeling reluctant to wake him and yet, also wanting an answer.“Hmm…” He mumbled sleepily, his voice barely audible.“Your phone…,” Fallon repeated, her tone a lot louder than a few minutes ago as she tried again to shake him awake.Finally, Gary opened his eyes, blinking slowly for several seconds. After a few more seconds he seemed to register

CHAPTER 168
Anger immediately started to rise inside of her as Fallon glared at Alora with a look of pure hatred, and without even realising it, she blurted. “Grandpa left that company for me, and you can’t just take what he gave to me away!” A faint chuckle escaped Alora’s throat as she gazed down at her granddaughter, before she replied. “Oh yes, I can… you know, I thought you were getting married to this… this human being because you want to own something in this family and be a part of us…” A pause followed her words as she watched Fallon’s eyes for a sign of fear and submission and when she saw a slight flicker of emotion in her step granddaughter’s eyes, she smiled, knowing that she managed to hit Fallon’s weak spot. “I will not tolerate the disrespect I am seeing from you, Fallon, and since that’s how you want to behave, I am taking this opportunity to let you know you aren’t fit to take over any of the family business. I don’t need an arrogant, selfish, and prideful woman who does not

CHAPTER 167
The dull morning light in her face with her body wrapped into Gary’s arms, Fallon just stared at him, his lashes, the details of his lips, unable to look away. Her hand rested on his cheek, and looked at his shut eyes, stroking his skin lightly as she felt her breathing become slow and steady. “I know it was just nonsense that she said, but I still can’t get her words out of my head…” Fallon whispered, leaning in closer until there were no more inches between them, their breaths mingling together. “What can’t you get out of your head?” Gary asked, his voice low and soothing as his eyelids slowly opened.Not expecting him to even be awake, Fallon froze, trying desperately to think of something, anything because she didn’t want to tell him about the conversation between Sandra and her.“Nothing,” Fallon quickly replied, pulling her face back, feeling a heat rise to her cheeks. “It’s nothing. You should go back to sleep. Yesterday was hectic, and my crying kept you up late.” “Fallon,
