With the room silent and all attention now on him, Matt felt sweaty and anxious, hoping Maurice would answer his call because this was now the fourth ring.If Maurice wouldn't respond, that would mean he never saw the text message. That fool never does anything right.Matt wasn't worried about the call not being answered, he was worried about the fact that the call not being answered would hinder his new plan. He had another plan and this phone call would be the first step forward. Without this phone call, then his plans would become noil and void, it would be invalid."He isn't responding, he must be very busy. Why don't you try calling him later? Maybe after dinner?" Cara asked with her hand resting on Matt's left shoulder, her eyes staring into his in reassurance.Hearing that Matt would be calling his multimillionaire father had her excited. That was because she didn't know Matt very much, even though they had been together for almost seven years. Matt had been hiding his identity
It was already nighttime and Liam was back at the mansion, he had showered and changed into a black sweatshirt and black sweatpants and he stepped out of his bedroom and headed towards Alexander's room, he knocked twice before he stepped in to meet Alexander seated on his wheelchair.Now that Liam thought about it, he had always seen Alexander on that wheelchair but he had never seen Alexander off the wheelchair like he was glued to it, it made him wonder if there was ever a time when he was removed from his wheelchair. But that was very absurd, there was no way he wouldn't be ever removed from that wheelchair, that sounded stupid."You ready?" Alexander asked and Liam nodded at him. "Good, now come push me." He ordered and Liam walked behind him to do as he was told and he pushed Alexander out of his bedroom and together they both headed for the abandoned side of the mansion where they kept Gianna tied up, Liam had learnt more things about her from Alexander.On getting to the place
The room where Gianna was tied in was located on the abandoned side of the huge mansion, the room was dark but now brightened up as all the windows that had been closed were now opened. The room was basically empty with nothing inside. Apart from the seat where Gianna was tied to, there was nothing else and only Liam, Alexander, Gianna and one security guard were currently inside the room.Liam who stood before Gianna with his phone held in his hand spoke as Chorro was still on the call with him."You and your puppy dog have been caught, I know you sent Gianna to try and kill with a 'harmless tea', whatever that is and no matter how hard I think about it, it just sounds absurd and stupid. How you had confidently thought you could easily kill me with the help of a woman, how funny." Liam said with a sinister grin on his lips and with his index finger still on Gianna's lips to prevent her from speaking.However, the grin soon vanished from his lips as there was no time to play around. "
The following day, both Liam and Alexander had both gone to the company as early as possible, leaving Nelson at the mansion.Of course, Nelson had no idea of what Liam had found out about him, allowing him to act normal and natural around Liam like nothing had happened. He had even exchanged greetings with Liam at the breakfast table before Liam left for work. And of course, Liam returned his greetings like he knew nothing.One could already guess how Liam found Nelson amusing.However, right after Liam and Alexander left the mansion, Nelson quickly made his way to the abandoned side of the mansion.Just yesterday, he had seen Liam and Alexander walk in this direction and he had no idea why or what they were up to and of course, his curious self followed right behind them to know why they were heading there.Alas, he couldn't keep up because the guards positioned at the door shooed him away. But that never meant he would just give up. Not to mention, his mind was occupied with what Li
Today was the day Mr Broda would be buried, as Susan had stopped the investigation of his murder, the date had been shifted to today.He would be buried in a local cemetery and only friends and families would be invited. Although Liam wasn't invited, he made sure to attend as Mr Broda was still his father-in-law by law and he genuinely loved the man.And Liam couldn't stop blaming himself for the death of Mr Broda. Maybe if he had not left the house that day, he would still be alive. Maybe he would have somehow been able to stop the killer and Mr Broda wouldn't have died.Before he headed for the burial, he got to the company first and did a little work. As he had no assistant yet, he did most of the things himself which was why he couldn't afford to slack.With his car packed beside the cemetery, he got into the building to see everyone was already gathered with the priest saying prayers for Mr Broda.Liam came to stand behind everyone but with his eyes on the grave as he listened in
The cemetery where the late Mr Broda was being buried was a big one in a vast land, trees could be seen almost everywhere and it was a peaceful place, safe for the constant sound of nature.However, today being the day of his burial ceremony, the cemetery was nowhere near being peaceful as chaos had just begun.At the loud sound of a hand smacking a face, gasps from the people gathered around filled the once peaceful place as they all stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.Liam who had not expected the sudden slap on his cheek out of the blue sighed as he placed his palm on his cheek and rubbed on it to feel his numb cheek before he turned to his side to see who was responsible for the unexpected slap on his face.His dark eyes fell on a pair of hazel ones, it turned out to be one of Cara's distant Aunt who had somehow heard of Liam. And seeing her today, Liam was confused as to why she would approach him in such a manner, a slap. That was too far.Looking at her, he raised his le
Arriving at the company, Liam was greeted by the employees as he walked by and he acknowledged their greetings with nods. The lobby of Sterling Global Ventures was a big and busy one with people walking about.However, even with how busy it was, it was difficult not to notice the CEO passing by and all heads would turn towards his direction while lips moved as they all spoke about the CEO. And the fact that he wasn't wearing his regular suit made it even more difficult for people not to talk, they in fact had so much to say.And one of the many topics surrounding the CEO was how breathtakingly handsome he was. But then, Liam had no idea about these things, not that he cared.With his eyes regularly checking his wrist for the time, Liam headed for the elevator and once it opened up, he stepped in and the elevator took him up but not to his office floor but instead, to the floor where his next board meeting would be held in a few minutes.He soon arrived at the conference room and stepp
Back at the burial ceremony of the late Mr Broda, everyone was still recovering from the shock brought upon them by Liam, especially Aunty Mona but no one could tell if the lady would ever recover from what Liam had said to her.As for Susan, the grieving wife of the late Mr Broda. She paid no attention to the people around her. Although she was inwardly furious that Liam had dared to show up here to mock her family, she couldn't dwell much on the matter and right after Liam had left, she walked towards her husband's grave and knelt beside it.Apart from Aunty Mona, the most humiliated person was Cara. She couldn't forget how Liam had shoved her to the side, she had nearly lost her balance and would have fallen to the ground if not for Matt who quickly came to her side and held her on time.It was the audacity of Liam for her, just because he became a common CEO, he had dared to be so cocky. This thought made her clench her fist tightly as she imagined stabbing Liam a million times wi
