Dexter returned home that evening feeling fulfilled. Although the words of Sandy kept ringing in his ears, he didn't want to dwell too much on them. "Are you okay?" Richard asked, seeing through him that he was somehow bothered."Yes I am." Dexter replied after which he dismissed Richard and asked him to go home. The following day would be the meeting scheduled with the members of the board at Richmond's to decide the next chairman of the company. With Ivy now awake and Priscilla being humiliated, Dexter was ready to ascend back to power.Richard was about leaving when one of the security personnel walked in. "Sir, we've found out who took the D-VEX drive from your office." The man said."Who?" Dexter asked."It's ma'am Beautrice. I'd love to show you the evidence in the control room." The man said.Dexter and Richard followed him to the control room where he showed them the short clip that caught Beautrice. The CCTV was a tiny camera right on the bulb on Dexter's office. Even Dext
Dexter stepped into the boardroom, his presence commanding attention as he made his way to his seat. The familiar surroundings brought a rush of memories flooding back, reminding him of how long he had been away from the board's meetings. His gaze met with Jack's, who sat at the opposite end of the table, wearing his trademark mischievous smile. Dexter couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Jack's expression, wondering what antics he had up his sleeve this time. Glancing around the table, Dexter noted that every other board member was present, their faces a mix of anticipation and curiosity as they awaited the arrival of the final member. "Who are we waiting for?" Dexter asked a fellow board member who sat by his side."It's Victor Smith." The gentleman replied. Dexter was taken aback by the revelation but then he realised that agreeing to sign the documents for Victor to take over all properties that were in Ryan's name also meant him being a member of the board of directors at Ric
Dexter wasted no time and promptly notified the authorities, who arrived to find Beatrice's lifeless form exactly as he had discovered it. Mindful not to disturb any potential evidence, Dexter refrained from touching her.Richard's disbelief was palpable as he surveyed the grim scene. Just that morning, he had spoken with Beatrice over the phone, expressing his concern for her mother's health. With a flurry of activity, the police, accompanied by paramedics and forensic experts, arrived delving into the investigation, scouring the surroundings for any clues that could unravel the mystery of Beatrice's untimely demise."When did you find out she was dead?" One of the police officers asked Dexter."Just a couple of minutes ago. I was in a board's meeting. I just finished from it when I returned to find her dead in my office." Dexter explained."You said you locked the office before you left for the board's meeting," another police officer asked."Yes I did. I'm very sure of it." Dexter
James and Jack exchanged stunned glances, their minds reeling at Alex's shocking confession. "What do you mean? Who did you kill?" James demanded."It's Beatrice," Alex confessed, his voice trembling with remorse. "I didn't intend to, Dad. It was a mistake. Please, you have to help me."Jack couldn't understand what was going as he tried to make sense of the unthinkable. Beatrice— the same woman who had aided them in retrieving D-VEX drive from Dexter's office being killed by Alex wasn't adding up.Desperate for answers, Jack pressed Alex for an explanation. "What happened? How could this happen?"Alex's voice cracked as he recounted the tragic events that had unfolded between him and Beatrice. "Beatrice threatened to expose me to Dexter," he explained. Jack wasn't still getting everything yet. With everything that Alex was saying, his mind raced with questions and doubts. There had to be more to this story than Alex was letting on, and Jack was determined to find out."Is that all?
Franklin meticulously conducted his analysis, ensuring the thoroughness required to determine the truth behind Beautrice's death. His focus was suddenly interrupted by the insistent ring of his phone, flashing an unfamiliar number on the screen."Hello?" Franklin answered."Ah, Franklin," a cryptic voice greeted him from the other end."Who is this?" Franklin's inquired."No need for formalities, Franklin. I'm well aware of your role as the forensic detective assigned to the case of Beautrice Morgan's untimely death," the voice replied."Yes, that's correct. Do you have information relevant to the investigation?" Franklin decided to ask."Not quite, Franklin. I'm here to offer you a piece of advice: withhold your findings," the voice urged, its sinister intent palpable."And why would I entertain such a suggestion?" Franklin asked."Because, Franklin, failure to comply will result in dire consequences. You have precisely one hour to hand over your analysis, or you'll bid farewell to y
Richard woke up that morning feeling hazy and weak. He felt something wasn't right. His senses, dulled by a thick fog of confusion as he shuffled through the dimly lit corridors of his home. His wife and child had been away to visit his mother in-law and he was the only one left in the house.He tried recalling the events that had happened the previous night, his thoughts clouded with the feeling that something had happened in the house while he was asleep the previous night but he couldn't quite put a finger on it.Getting ready for work amidst his confusion, Richard trudged towards the bathroom, the promise of a rejuvenating shower beckoning him like a distant beacon of hope. With trembling hands, he twisted the faucet, the rush of cold water cascading over his weary frame in a torrential downpour.For a fleeting moment, the icy embrace of the shower offered respite from the suffocating grip of uncertainty, its relentless stream washing away the remnants of his disquietude.

"Hello, Prime Minister," James greeted as he held his mobile phone to his ear."Hello, Mr. Richmond," Prime Minister Raj Ranauk replied. "So, did your son agree to marry my daughter?" he inquired."Yes, Prime Minister. The marriage between Alex and Mirai will proceed as planned," James confirmed."I hope it won't end up like it did with your nephew Dexter," Prime Minister Raj Ranauk remarked, referencing the previous incident involving Dexter and Richard in India."Not at all, Prime Minister.

"I heard you're meeting with Mr Chong Wei." Sonia began."Yes, I am," Dexter replied. "Is something wrong?" He inquired further."Yes Dexter. This is not the first time Mr Chong Wei is seeking partnership with Richmond's. He's not a trust worthy businessman." Sonia replied."What do you mean?" Dexter probed. He knew Sonia wasn't the type who'd just accuse a person without concrete evidence."Here. Go through it," Sonia replied handing him some documents."What's this?" Dexter asked furrowing his brow."Just go through it Dexter and you'll find out." Sonia replied.Dexter opened the documents, the revelations contained in it, leaving him in total surprise."You mean his real name isn't Chong Wei?" Dexter asked surprised."That's what the document says. His real name is Xian Lee. He's one of the few persons who was part of a secret council known as the RSC." Sonia explained."Oh! The RSC, I know about it. It was part of the information that was revealed in the D-VEX drive." Dexter state
