The door swung open, revealing a group of people Mason wasn't familiar with. Adam stood beside an older man in his seventies, and Mason assumed him to be his father, Mr.Hoston Morrison. His cranky old figure was in a branded suit, and Mason crunched his nose at the security men behind him."I said get me your father, Mr.Adam, not the entire security department," Mason said with a wave of pretentious anger crawling onto his face. Mason knew exactly what would happen the moment he boarded that elevator to the top floor, and he knew the company handover wouldn't go smoothly without the presence of his mother. Still, he had her signature, and he also wanted to test his authority without the help of his mother.Mr. Hoston's raging eyes panned at Mason, who would have been scared in the past, but right now, he waved the old man's gaze, pointing to the seat opposite him."Have a seat, Mr.Hoston," Mason said, his words increasing the old man's anger, who felt his pride was being stamped upon
Mr.Hoston frowns, placing the phone closer to his ear. "Good morning, Mrs.Audrey," he greeted, trying hard to keep his composure while Mason just sat and watched the scene. "Good morning Mr.Hoston, it's nice to hear from you. Is there an issue?" Audrey asked. "No, not at all," The old man smiled, turning to Mason. "Is that there is this imposter who claims to be the son of Mrs Williams and the CEO of the Sky Hotel and we all know Mrs.Williams doesn't have a son.""Do you mean, young master?" She asked, and Mr Hoston furrowed his brow. "The what?" he asked with a furrowed brow, turning to Mason, who now had a smirk."The young Master; Mason Williams is indeed the son of Mrs.Williams and is the heir of the Williams empire," she said, her words paralyzing the old, whose cranky figure was pale. "T…That I…Impossible," Mr Hoston stuttered, looking at Mason, who rose from his chair, moving towards the man who couldn't hold his phone as the revelation took a toll on him. "Father!" Adam r
After getting rid of the Hoston and handing them over to the police, the police were able to locate the account that Adam and his father used to launder money from the Hotel. Sixty per cent of the funds were recovered to the Hotel while the rest were spent on private property, which the Hoston bought for luxury. Mason glanced at the location of the properties. "Send this everything to my mail," Mason said to Billy, who nodded in response. After getting to know him and his family's condition, Mason allowed Billy to continue being his Secretary. The Hoston had promised to settle his mother's medical bills but didn't keep to their promise and even threatened to fire him. Billy became loyal to Mason, and he cleared his mother's bills."I need to go somewhere," Mason notified him. "Keep me posted if anything comes up." He glanced at his watch, which was already 9 am and from the school platform, he saw that his class was starting at 10 am, so he decided to drop by the campus on time. Af
"T…There is no need for security," Mr.Jude said, but Mason, wearing a hardened expression, ignored him. He already knew the basics of the situation and wanted to get to know both of them. The two massive security officers move toward Mr.Jude, making him fearfully shiver. He didn't know that today would be the day he would be caught with his scheming business."Mr.Mason, we're at your service," the security men said with a bowed head. Mason nodded in response."Please execute this man to the control room," he pointed at Mr.Jude, who stared from him to the two security personnel who approached him. Without yielding to Mr.Jude, they drag him to the control room. When they arrived, Mason nodded at Billy, who instructed the staff to search for the footage of Mrs.Francasca heading toward the VIP rooms. After a few minutes, they pulled out the video, containing Mrs.Francicas and a familiar figure sexually harassing her.The smile that crawled up Mason's lips was evident, and that alone sent
Mr.Oman froze his gaze at the screen. It was like his spirit left his body, leaving his face as pale as snow. Mason cleared his throat, dragging his attention from the screen. This moment fit into his perfectly planned for his expulsion letter to be revoked by the university."Mr.Oman," Mason called with a furrowed brow, covering his legs on the table. "Is there a problem?" Mason asked, pretending not to know why Mr. Oman was suddenly anxious. If this video was ever leaked out, it wouldn't only destroy his marriage and status, but he would also lose his job and respect."What do you think you're doing, Mason?!" The middle-aged man shrieked. "Delete this video at once!" he commanded. Mason laughed, surprised at how Mr. Oman expected him to follow his commands as if he were speaking to one of his students on the university grounds where his word meant power. Unknowingly to Mr.Oman, the ball was in Mason's court."And why will I do that? You are caught sexually harassing a hotel staff,"
Mr Oman was caught off guard by Mason words. He thought Mason would request for a few bucks of money, not the Aleric University which was impossible. In his mind, Mr Oman still didn't believe Mason was the CEO of the sky–high hotel. He assumed Mason had planned everything beforehand, and with Mr.Jude getting caught for his crimes, Mason must have forced him to play along, giving the only reason they haven't called the cops or leaked the video to the media. "W…What do you mean you want Aleric University?" Mr.Oman asked.Mason didn't bother to stare at him as he focused his gaze outside the busy street of Aleric City. "What don't you understand Mr.Omam? I said I want the University and since you're a board member it would be easier to hold a board meeting to sell the University to me," "You want to buy Aleric University?" Mr.Oman asked, his eyes ready to pop out of the sucket in surprise. "Do you know how much that property cost?!""How much?" Mason asked with a deep baritone, which su
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Mrs.Hig, but this couldn't wait," Mr.Oman said, staring at Mason through the corner of his eyes before returning his attention to the frowning faces on his computer screen. "What is this so-called emergency that can't wait Mr.Oman?" A male voice asked. Mason was sure the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't put a face to it. He glanced at his Secretary, who was already running a background check on the board members. He shook his head at Mason, indicating the other two board members remain anonymous. "Mr Yusuf, we all know of the crisis the university is going through and-""We are well aware that, Mr. Jude, that is why we are spending unnecessary money to keep the media off our backs," the male voice was laced with annoyance.Mason raised a brow at the man's statement. He didn't know the university was going through a crisis in which the school had to spend money to keep it off the media. He couldn't guess what it was, but he would make Mr.Jude
After the handover, the bank manager and the University Secretary left the office, leaving Manson, who was busy discussing with Billy while Mr.Oman sat on the opposite end. A few minutes later, The security men guarding the door outside let in three men. One of the men was Mr.Jude, who was handcuffed to his wrist. The two other figures wearing a police uniform stood beside him. When Mason noticed their presence, he nodded for them to proceed. Their eyes roamed through the room until they rested on the middle-aged man."Mr.Oman, you're under arrest for sexually harassing a hotel staff," the youngest of the cops notified, pulling out a handcuff. Mr.Oman's face went pale at his words, and he turned to Mason in confusion. He thought helping Mason own the University would clear him from the punishment of his deed, but little did he know he would be arrested."W…why?!" Mr.Oman shrieked at Mason, feeling betrayed, but Mason's face was expressionless. "I promise you the video won't be upload
