“I don’t have full details, but I think your mother-in-law and Lucy must have contributed to such,” Ramon explained.“Lucy? Who the hell is Lucy?” Harrison thundered. He knew for sure that his mother-in-law would be involved but hearing another name attached to the whole thing was unexpected.“She’s the receptionist in the company,” Ramon said.“What? She’s just a receptionist in my company, and she has the guts to maltreat my wife?” Harrison’s voice was filled with anger as it echoed around the room.His veins pooped up, almost as though it would erupt out of his skin. No one had seen him in such a state. That was to show to what extent Harrison valued his wife.Bang!Suddenly, the door was slightly pushed open, and the doctor walked in with some files. All along his face was pinned to the document until he looked around only to find everyone kneeling and that shabbily dressed patient was standing tall in the middle of everything.He could have ignored the situation, but after seeing
Everyone was pushed to the edge by such terrifying intrusion. It was almost as if an attack would follow after, but there was nothing. There was nothing or no one but just Whitman drenched in sweat and looking like he was locked in a tomb for hours.“What is wrong? What the hell happened?” Harrison asked curiously.“The… financial team just contacted me…” Whitman stammered at first so he could catch his breath, but that could only raise their curiosity the more.“Go on,” Harrison indulged.“I was told ten billion was stolen from the company's account.” Whitman completed.“What?” Ramon exclaimed first.“Ten what?” Lucas' mouth formed an ‘o’ as he was left dazzled by what he heard.Amidst all this, Harrison didn’t even know how to react. Though he hadn’t taken the company yet, it was still his. That amount of money wasn’t just a piece of cake, and yet, it was stolen? By whom?In his entire life, he had never seen such an amount of money. He didn’t bother to know all the money Sterling C
Inside a luxurious car, Harrison was seated alone in the back while Ramon was in the front seat alongside the driver as they drove fast heading back to the company.Other cars were in pursuit, and even some were in the front. It was as if the president himself was visiting a place in the city in a convoy. However, one might tell it was someone of high status as it was evident in how flashy the cars were. But then inside the car, the air was so hot that one might get burned when inhaling it.Harrison was rather calculative inside the car, waiting for them to get to the company. His nerves were up in the heat, boiling just so he could get to the root of the matter.Vroom!The cars halted in front of the company and quickly Ramon came down and opened the door for him.Harrison didn’t even wait for the car to fully open, as he looked like he could have balled it out of the way just to get out hastily. If not for Ramon, he could have created a scene.“Get me to the surveillance team depar
Ramon didn’t know what to say as he stood speechless, watching every one of Harrison's movements and nodding to each word said even though he wasn’t the one being instructed to do somethingThe way Harrison gave Instructions was as though he was here when this room was built and also when the computers were being installed. That aside, he knew everything like he had been coming here every day when this was only his first.How shocking was that? For a brief moment, Ramon thought he was seeing his father. That man was just as energetic as Harrison, and even their leadership qualities were on par with each other.Leaning by the front desk close to the big screen, Harrison's eyes were glued to it like if he blinked for a second he was going to miss an important detail.The interface was now displaying the record of each footage and even had the time at the side of it. Smashing the keypad, the operator surfed it down and clicked at exactly eleven am.As soon as it began to display, everyon
“There is a good reason why we don’t keep money in banks and that was suggested by your dad,” Ramon started off hoping Harrison was listening to every detail he was going to spill.Already the latter was curious, so if he could force all the words out of Ramon’s mouth at a time, he could have done so.“Go on,” Harrison instructed.“As you know, it’s easy for hackers to breach the company's bank account and take cash from it. Rather than letting this happen, your dad recommended a way in which they won't be able to get the cash, except if they come to the company directly,” Ramon continued.“All the money, all the hundred and fifty billion dollars in cash, is in this company as we speak.” He added.“You told me two hundred billion?” Harrison raised a brow.“Yes, in both assets and cash. The assets we have is around fifty billion, if not more. But as for the cash, it is around hundred and fifty, but now that ten was stolen it will be left with a hundred and forty.” Ramon explained respe
Meanwhile, outside the vast room all the operators were lined up at the side of the wall with a thumping heart, scared that the outcome might lead to either being arrested or sacked.They feared for either of those to happen and would have stepped closer to listen to the conversation, but Lucas and some other men were guarding the door.The solemn looks on their faces alone warned every one of them never to think of coming close, or it would be their last day on earth.They were no fools to perceive that, so they clung to life and stood behind, shivering in fright.Bang!The door came open and Ramon paved the way for Harrison to go out before following. As soon as everyone saw them, their chest puffed high and they stopped breathing.Looking across each of their faces, Harrison could only sigh. He wouldn’t blame them for what happened, at least not yet. For now, the company still needs surveillance so he spoke.“Get back to work. This time, do it properly, or else your life might be o
“Open!”Ramon yelled a voice command and the vast door opened by itself. It was a hard metal door made from raw iron that was way thicker and sturdier than wooden doors.There were also iron bars serving as reinforcement to make it stronger, while the surface was glossy enough to leave scratches on one skin if rough-handled or crashed into.Walking through the door, they found a vast room that contained a vault. It looked like a big box that had a round metal on the front, like a steering wheel.Ramon got to it and twisted it in a direction then an interface appeared at the side of it, he inserted a few digits and then stepped back.Cling!The vault made a sound and the door came open. Taking a hard gulp, Harrison waited with open eyes to see what would be inside. Just like him, Lucas was starring widely.But by the time the door was fully open, the shocked expression on their faces was replaced with a frown.The vault was empty.“What the heck?” Ramon exclaimed, staring in shock. He
Back inside Samson's villa.Edward was seated with a wide smile on his face on the massive Sofa, crossed-legged. Beside him was Linda, who was now clung to him and was caressing his stomach flirtatiously.Nobody dares to talk. Rachel, who saw her child doing that act, was more pleased to see it was enough to keep Edward staying. At least since Linda lost the contract with sterling cooperation, if she could make Edward sign a deal with the Samson family, then it was a giant win.From time to time, she kept checking up on him as though he was going to varnish in a blink of an eye. As if that wasn't enough, she went to extra lengths. Just to please him, she went out to pour some drink and bring it herself instead of asking the maids to do it.“You are very generous, Madam Rachel.” He smiled.“It’s very okay for me to receive our visitors with an open mind. Feel free. This is just a token of my gratitude.” Her lips slowly curled into a smile.“Thank you. I can also call you mom since I ha
