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
“What are you trying to say now? I can’t get my head around the whole thing. You mean to tell me that you don’t have the one billion you said you did?” Grandmother vented all her rage in words, and there was more. She was ready to get down to using fist if the need might be.She couldn’t afford to come here for some baseless reason. It was an insult to her reputation.Point in time, Stephen felt it was time to jump. The frown on his face had been replaced with a smile. He didn’t care if the family reputation was on the line, as he was eager to make Edward pay for the humiliation earlier.But then, amidst all the heated stares at him, Edward kept a calm expression. He even adjusted himself to sit comfortably as he crossed his leg on the other.“Don’t get me wrong, Grandmother. I said I don't have a billion to invest doesn't mean I don’t have it. What if I have more?” He said calmly, and everyone was able to breathe again.It seemed he wasn’t trying to make a fuss here or else hell woul
——Harrison alighted a cab in front of Samson's villa. He had a solemn look on his face that portrayed anger as he walked into the villa, but didn’t take many steps in when two burly men evaded his path.He looked at them shocked. He can’t get into his mother-in-law's house freely? What’s going on? However, he didn’t recognize the men before him and looked around only to find an expensive BMW parked and some other expensive cars. Instantly he knew Grandmother had visited this place.For her to be here meant only one thing, something serious was going on, and Harrison was happy he was here to witness it.“Who are you and why are you walking into this house?” One of the men asked, giving off a look of disgust on his face.This made Harrison smile bitterly. It had been a long time since he was downgraded like this. So many things had been happening so he had even forgotten people still looked at him as someone worthless.“I am part of this family. I want to see my mother-in-law so if yo
“How dare you make a fuss over here? Don’t you have respect for Grandmother?” Rachel said with so much resentment in her eyes.“You didn’t care to ask what happened but just came over and slapped me?” Harrison inquired.“Yes, of course, and I can slap you again!” She retorted.“Then I dare you!” Harrison said with bloodshot eyes. From his tone, he was ready to bring the whole house down to pieces, but then Rachel viewed this as trying to show off.Harrison of before would shudder before her presence and immediately plead, but ever since he got that cleaning job in Sterling Corporation he stopped coming here to beg for money and was now looking like he could stand on his own.“Are you talking back to me?” Rachel raised a brow.“Madam, allow us to beat him. He only got lucky the first time.” The guard whose fingers were broken managed to squeeze the words out. It was better to endure the pain than to let himself be sacked.“Yes, madam, we will make him pay.” The other bodyguard came for
