Chapter 128Margaret glared at Sebastien who stood on the stage. Her eyes widened in horror. She really hoped he wasn’t here to disgrace her but she knew the probability of him disgracing her was very high. She hoped he hadn’t found out about the arrangement she made with the receptionist.Margaret’s heart was beating rapidly in her chest as she watched Sebastien turn on the microphone. Margaret surveyed the hall to see if she could spot Rowan so she would instruct him to send Sebastien out. But, she was unable to spot Rowan.The microphone crackled, drawing the attention of the audience and in no time, the majority of the guests present at the event had their eyes on Sebastien. The receptionist's eyes widened as she saw that Sebastien had already arrived.Beads of sweat rolled down her face. She was so nervous. She never envisioned herself being in such a position. She began to wish that she hadn’t connived with Margaret. The crackling of the microphone also caught Rowan’s attention
Chapter 129The guests mumbled in confusion for a while but they eventually vacated the hall after being convinced that their host was indeed guilty. Adeline was awestruck when she found out that Sebastien had indeed managed to reclaim the hall from Margaret. With a little pressure from the delta squadron army, Margaret was finally made to leave the hall even though she had to do that angrily. Adeline eventually called her friends over and they hosted the housewarming party in the beautifully decorated hall. Sebastien made sure that May, the receptionist, was sacked from the biltwave event centre. He made the manager see reasons with him, that for her to engage in such an act, it could only mean that she didn’t have the company’s best interest at heart and that would not be beneficial for the growth of the company. Margaret literally had to be dragged out of the biltwave event centre because she refused to believe that such a thing was happening to her. She refused to believe that
Chapter 130After the whole issue concerning the biltwave event centre and Margaret had died down a little bit, Sebastien and Isabelle decided that it was time to face the issue with Miranda. Isabelle resumed at work and after a few days of consistently seeing Isabelle at the Wilson family company, she became a lot more confident. And stopped moving around with so much fear. Isabelle sat on the swivel chair in her office, typing on her computer. Katy, Lauren and Jeremy had just finished the project they had and it earned the Wilson family’s company a large sum of money. Isabelle began wondering if she should accept to continue another pending project when an idea dropped into her mind. She gasped in realisation of the fact that Miranda could be exposed through the surveillance camera in the office. According to what Violet had earlier mentioned, Miranda walked into her office to threaten her. There are security cameras in all the offices at the Wilson family’s company. So, Isabel
Chapter 131Isabelle walked back to her office, obviously pissed off about how master Wilson decided to take the whole issue lightly. She knew master Wilson would want to do anything to avoid making Miranda annoyed. So, that was the reason he didn’t even want to think of Miranda being the culprit.Isabelle sat on her office chair with a sign and at that moment her phone buzzed on the table. She picked it up and saw a text from Sebastien which read, ‘any luck’Isabelle immediately responded, ‘not at all’ Then Sebastien’s reply came in, ‘how is that possible?’ Just as Isabelle was about to reply to his text, her phone rang and Sebastien’s name was displayed on the caller ID.“You weren’t able to find anything?” Sebastien asked, immediately Isabelle picked up the call.“Turns out that there was no recording of Violet’s office made on that day” Isabelle said with sigh.“That’s very suspicious” Sebastien said“Hmm hmm” Isabelle agreed, “and I decided to meet grandfather to ask if he rele
Chapter 132The next day, Isabelle went to work as usual, but she was expecting a visit from Sebastien today because he had earlier promised that he was going to come and check out the settings of the devices in the control room to rule out the probability of the disappearance being caused by a technical glitch. She proceeded with performing her daily duties. And a few hours later there was a knock on her office door. “Come in!” Isabelle said eagerly, not even bothering to check the security camera that was fixed outside the door, because she already knew who she was expecting. Immediately the door was opened, she perceived his cologne before he even came into view. Isabelle stood up from her seat and walked towards him, they met in the middle of the office and Isabelle pulled him in for an embrace. “Thank you for taking out time to show up today” Isabelle said, appreciating his effort to be involved in everything that concerns her. “You shouldn’t thank me for little things lik
Chapter 133“So, what is the next step now?” Isabelle heard the very disturbed voice that belonged to violet from over the phone. “Hey, Violet, calm down” Isabelle said, concern etched in her voice.“But-but how?! I’m living in fear b-because I don’t know the next plan Miranda has in mind. It’s S-scary!” Violet stammered. Isabelle leaned back on her swivel chair, “don’t worry, Violet. Miranda won’t be able to harm you. And like I earlier mentioned, we have concrete evidence that Miranda was in the control room.”“But that isn’t enough!” Violet argued.Isabelle sighed and placed her palm on her forehead, “it is a start.” Isabelle said she was so frustrated that the control room didn’t have a security camera that covered it as well. That would have saved them a lot of trouble. Violet sighed, “it is. But I hope it will lead to the end of all these.”“Hopefully” Isabelle said, assuring herself as well as Violet.They spoke for a few more minutes and then the call ended.*************
Chapter 134Isabelle was so disturbed at work the next day because she had gotten a text from Violet very early that morning. Violet had complained about Miranda sending her a message, requesting for her assistance. Violet said Miranda didn’t mention the form of assistance she needed, but she added a threatening message warning Violet that she would face severe consequences if she refused the offer. Or tries to avoid her further. At the time Violet was mentioning this to Isabelle, she hadn’t replied to Miranda’s message and Isabelle wasn’t sure if she would have replied now. Isabelle placed a finger on the bridge of her nose as she drew in a deep breath. Isabelle was instantly filled with guilt as she realised that Violet is going through all these now because of her involvement. Maybe if she hadn’t accepted to become the head of department, Violet wouldn’t have been dragged into all this mess. It was Friday, and the last day of the week. So, Isabelle made up her mind to visit mas
Chapter 135“Until you come with proper evidence, I do not believe all that you have spoken of” master Wilson said with a tone of finality after they had spent almost thirty minutes explaining the past occurrences they have had with Miranda.“But, grandfather! Why do you even have so much trust in her?” Isabelle questioned agitatedly.“We even have evi—“ Isabelle was trying to say when Sebastien cut her off. “We will be back when we have enough evidence and by then, I believe you wouldn’t have any more reasons to doubt us” Sebastien said, they had initially come with the intent of showing master Wilson the little evidences that they had, but a Sebastien thought it would be better to keep the evidence away from master Wilson till it was solid enough that they won’t be able to come up with an excuse when it is finally revealed.Isabelle fixed Sebastien with a questioning gaze, wondering what the sudden change of mind was all about. Sebastien stood to his feet, “master Wilson, we shou
