After his most recent triumph against Marcus Carlisle, Justin's attention was turned back to another person he had been taking notice of lately. He had dealt with him before but somehow, he has been proving stubborn. The person was Meeky, the scammer. He was with Lilly's sister when Justin was married to her but he wondered if they were still together. Meeky, true to his nature, had been trying to scrape together what had remained of his liver after Justin had made him fall from Grace to grass. But Justin did not want him to attain that position of comfortability again. He needed him to face the full consequences of his actions. He decided to make his punishment personal.Meeky was trying to rebuild, hanging on to the remnants of his old contacts and hoping to at least get back even just a fraction of his lost influence. He had gathered some money to start new ventures, although they were less prestigious compared to the ones he used to do when things were very good, but enough to ke
From Justin's end though, he was not through with Meeky. He made sure he did not stop at his finances alone. He spread rumours about Meeky's credibility which was easy to peddle after what happened to him. The rumors were intended to weaken the foundation Meeky was trying to build to better his life again. There were anonymous accusations of dishonesty and betrayal spreading through the social circles Meeky had once been part of. His friends started distancing from him. These were people he had relied on previously but they were now worried they may be tainted by their continued association with him.When Meeky realized he had no more options and he did know what was wrong so as to find a solution to it, he decided to leverage on his family name one last time and reached out to some influential figures in a last attempt to gain their support to rebuild his life. But to his dismay, there was also very unwilling to support him. He was surprised that his last hope was being shut down. T
The aftermath of Justin's actions on Meeky did not just affect him alone. It also extended towards his family. The once respected family, held in very high esteem now found themselves under public scrutiny due to the actions of their son. It was a harsh reality that they were not used to but now, they have to endure it. The fallout of their son had an adverse effect on them too. It was affecting their business and it was not looking good. They were now trying their best to salvage the situation. His family wondered who their son must have offended that was out there to destabilize him completely to the extent that it affected them too.For Meeky, it was beyond devastating. The situation he had found himself and by extension now, his family was something he did not see coming. He remembered his hay days when he had always considered himself too connected and powerful to fall or be caught on any of his scams. But as he thought about everything, he felt humbled, the weight of his life wh
The financial woes that befell Meeky's family grew worse daily and it was very hard to ignore. Their business were now being sustained by debts and calls were coming in from creditors. The media we're also carefully following the fallout, giving out the details as they came across it. Elara was in different meetings with attorneys who made her realize that their future was bleak with the current situation of things. And for the first time ever in her life, she considered something that had never crossed her mind. She was thinking if they should declare bankruptcy.Meeky, however, did not buy the idea when she told him. He felt that was an extreme thought. He was determined to still see things through and turn it around even if he had nothing left at the moment. The humiliation he had endured so far only motivated him to take vengeance but to do that, he needed an ally who would be willing to support him. But he did not know how that could work out as every powerful contact he had on s
As Justin thought more about the ruin he had caused Meeky, he came across another piece of evidence that pointed at a troubling truth. Meeky's family, whom he had thought were just innocent people caught up in the issues he had with Meeky also had their hands in a lot of unethical and possibly, illegal things. This evidence made him realize that the family has a very dark side and their family's fortunes were built on a number of criminal activities. His Discovery changed alot of things and it made him more determined to deal with them and bring down what they have amassed so far at the expense of others.Justin started analyzing the evidences he had gotten through his network. He went through the financial transactions, property transfers, and bank statement which were associated with suspicious dealings. Every one he examined shows the intricate connection of Meeky's family to an organized pattern of corruption that is deeper than even what Justin know. It ranges from embezzlement o
When the authorities started mounting pressure on Meeky's family, several of their remaining assets were frozen, leaving them to start scrambling around to secure funds in preparation for legal defense. Elara tried to challenge the investigation on her family, claiming innocence and trying to let her realize that whatever is happening is as a result of someone trying to paint her family in a bad light but her arguments fell on deaf ears in the face of very solid and overwhelming evidences. The authorities applied more intensity to the investigation as the government officials were more than eager to make examples out of Meeky's family.Elara tried to fight back but it was obvious she was fighting a lost battle. Justin's influence in the whole matter had made it possible that the doors they had once relied on for refuge and support remained shut to them. Some of the former associates of Meeky who had been a victim of his schemes back then started coming forward, to share their own exp
