Soon, Noah served the meal and everyone sat to eat.Suddenly, Rieka dropped her spoon, pushed her plate of food away, and placed her head on the table.“What's the problem, Rieka? Are you sick? Did you lose your appetite?”Jack asked.“It's nothing, Dad!”Lois interrupted, “It's nothing and everything about you shows you are sad.”Rieka could no longer manage the situation.“Peak Cooperation has been sealed and locked. We can't access the company! Zenith Pharmaceuticals sees Peak Corporation as a rival and accused us of producing substandard products. I had the opportunity to meet with the chairman of Zenith Pharmaceuticals but it didn't yield anything good.Rieka narrated all that happened.“Zenith Pharmaceuticals went to the extreme. They are bigger than Peak Cooperation by far, why did they do this?”Jack spoke.Lois cleared her throat, “You can approach Brucy Kings, he would be able to help out. I am sure of that or you could just ask Mr Kendrick to help out.”“Alright.”Rieka sig
Slap Andy slapped Willy.Willy was furious and raised his hand to revenge but was stopped when the light from a vehicle shone on them.“What's going on here?”Cody asked as he came out of his car. Seeing the burning company, he widened his mouth in shock.Moving closer, he recognized Willy and rushed to him.“And you are standing there watching? Don't you have an idea of people's shares in the company?”Noah cleared his throat and that was when Cody's attention drifted to him.Cody shivered immediately and gave a slight bow.Noah smiled slightly.“He is the one behind the fire incident.”Willy said angrily, pointing to Noah.“Huh? Just shut up! What did you do?”Cody yelled.He went on his knees and begged for mercy. “Noah, please forgive him. He'll never cross your path, ever.”Willy was surprised and wondered why a chairman would be so humble before the Fullams’ miserable son-in-law. What's going on? Willy stared at Cody in confusion.Noah glanced at Cody, “Willy, might not be luck
Silas came back inside the office.She handed the cheque to him.“A token from Zenith Pharmaceuticals to show their apology.”“What? Hundred million to show apology?” Silas arched his brow. “Take a look at this, he dropped a newspaper on her desk.”Seeing the headline about Zenith Pharmaceuticals company being destroyed by fire, she gazed at Silas.“You may leave, deposit the money in the right account.”Silas nodded.“Is there something you feel I should know about all that is going on?”He was anxious and was convinced that someone was working behind the scenes.“Huh?”Rieka waved him off and requested that he give her time to think.Silas left.Rieka picked up the newspaper and turned to the page that had details about Zenith Pharmaceuticals.She read through.“A bad occurrence occurred at one of Zenith Pharmaceuticals branches which happened to be the largest branch.”“Fire engulfed the whole building and it's so pathetic that it was destroyed beyond recognition.”“Investigations
“Your service is no longer needed, Jehu. Please leave!”“Ms. Cynthia but I'm here to sign our contract.”Cynthia gestured, pointing to the door.It dawned on Jehu that he had messed up with the wrong person. Without the praise of the people, he knew he would have had a huge salary if he had gotten the job.Jehu went on his knees, “Please pardon me. I regret all I did and I am sorry. I am a well-known doctor, I even canceled a contract with one large hospital outside the country because I wanted to work here. Please forgive me. I promise to offer my best if given the opportunity.”“Leave my office this minute!”Noah roared.Jehu couldn't withstand Noah's aura, so he stood up immediately and rushed out of the office.In disappointment, he left the hospital.Meanwhile, Noah went back to the Fullams’ residence.At Peak Cooperation.Two of the female workers who walked into the company were discussing. They were to be on duty that afternoon.“I was so delighted to see Dr Jehu. He is so cut
“Hmm, I think seeing us all after a long time would make him happy, thereby he'll recover fast.”“You have a point there.”Noah nodded.“But we have to go with some gifts.”Rieka became concerned.“Ever since my grandma died, my grandpa hadn't been himself. It made him even retire from the military a year earlier than when he was supposed to.”“Military?”Noah was surprised.“Yeah! That will be a story for another day!”Rieka smiled.“Noah, Did you package anything that we could eat as we are traveling?”Rieka was hungry.“No, we can stop by at a restaurant along the road so we can eat before proceeding with the trip.”“Alright, you can park the car over there!”Rieka pointed to a free parking space.They walked around that area and finally saw the most expensive and large restaurant in Cape Linton.A man wearing a black outfit stood by the door.“Good day to the both of you, welcome!”The man greeted Rieka and Noah as they walked in.The duo took the table that was meant for two and
“Noah, it's enough!”Rieka rushed to Noah and he embraced her.Noticing her tears and high breathing rate, he said. “Everything is fine!”She sighed in relief.The waitress who had called the police expected that they should have arrived but there was no sign of them around.Cyril is the boss of a very brutal gang. He is behind all the atrocities that happened in Cape Linton. The police are aware but there's nothing they can do because of his connection with some prominent and wealthy folks in the city.Rieka gazed at the men who were groaning in pain. She shook her head. Turning around, she noticed Cyril was on a call.“He is placing a call. He could be calling more of his men for backup. Let's just leave now.”Rieka said calmly.Noah patted her back, “Running away from such people is not the way to end such crime in the society. They must be dealt with. Let me also make a call.”“Huh? Who do you want to call?”“Just relax!” Noah smiled.Noah called the Grand Commander.“It's Noah! I
Rieka held Noah's hand and said calmly. “That's Amos Smith, he is my uncle. The last child of my grandpa. I heard he is now very rich, highly connected and his businesses are thriving very well.”“Good to know!”Noah nodded as he stared at everyone present.Amos looked at Lois and her immediate family members and smiled. “Lois, I must confess you and your family are doing great.”“Yeah, thanks.”Lois nodded.Amos doesn't talk to her whenever they are all present at the Smith Pinnacle. He saw her as an embarrassment to the family at large.Presently, he was impressed and said something positive.“Rieka, you look so beautiful.” Amos glanced at Rieka.Rieka smiled.Lois interrupted. “Are you aware that Rieka holds a high position in Top Notch Group? Do you also know she is the chairman of Peak Cooperation? She has accomplished a lot. I am proud of her. Even Dave now works with the new hospital located at the center of the city in Linton City. That means our net worth is huge!”“Wow!”Am
‘Has Noah revealed his identity to her?’Dave thought inwardly.Smiling, Rieka said. “My husband is a retired soldier! And you are all aware that I suffered drug-induced amnesia, it was Noah who healed me completely and after the healing process, I became more beautiful. That means, my husband is an Asclepius.Jack who had been quiet all along chimed in. “That is correct, Noah has been very useful to us in the little way he can. I think if we all give him the support he requires, he'll be on the level we want him to be and he won't be the worthless son-in-law you all tag him to be.”“Hmm!”Everyone expressed.The word ‘Asclepius’ rang in Aaron's mind. Next, he thought about Grandpa.Aaron was Rieka's cousin and happened to be the first grandchild of the Smiths.Grandpa had been suffering from a skin disease for a very long time. But recently, it grew worse as they had to take him back to the hospital.The doctor had made it known that he now had a short time to live. All they could do
