"I hope she doesn't repeat that! She is just like her parents, thieves and beggars!" Mrs Cavil huffed. "Just be on your behaviour tonight and watch out for Henry and his tricks. That boy is getting on my nerves these days."Jake nodded, rubbing his palms, " Exactly, since we placed the crimes on that stupid nanny. I have been thinking of placing Henry in his place. That boy just doesn't want to give up!"Mrs Cavil smiled darkly, "Don't worry about him and his dumb nephew, we will get back to him soon. Now, we have to focus on getting this event going. We need the money to secure more protection from the Taiwans and push your drug deals.""You do know he is the CEO of the hotels now, right?"Mrs Cavil's tight smile fell, " Don Aruto informed me earlier today. I can't believe he could sell his ownership to that godforsaken boy but I won't let that bother me, Henry would meet his doom soon."Jake nodded, not saying anything. He knew how much his mother hated Henry and pushing the matter
Mrs. Cavil turned evil as Henry showed her the video of her laughing with Jake about the stupidity of the donors. "You worthless piece of crap! How dare you, Henry? How dare you embarrass me in front of my guests?""You did that to yourself, now pay your bills and continue your event or walk out now!"Jake came up the stage, boiling with anger, "Keep quiet, Henry! We are going to pay this minute and after that, you can shut that trash mouth of yours!"Henry smiled, knowing they couldn't pay but he had to play along. Louis had finally been able to transfer all the funds in her and Jake's account to an old people's home a few hours later and he was sure they didn't know about it. Too busy creating plans on how to rob people, of course."You should mind what you say to me, this is my hotel, Jake. Now, do the transfer, both of you!"Jake took out his phone, breathing flames, and pressed some numbers. His face turned to disappointment and he started sweating."What's up, Jake? Having cash
"Save the apology, Mr. Kumar. What do you want and make it quick, please? I have work to do!" Henry snapped. He was already getting bored by the man's nervous gestures and apologies."Alright. After what happened last week at the fundraiser event, things have been extremely difficult for Evelyne at the house and for us too. The companies have lost a lot of investors and right now, I have nothing."Henry chuckled, knowing this was going to happen. Evelyne's father was a big spender and always loved throwing the biggest parties then. Henry remembered the times the man locked him outside during those parties because Henry wasn't up to the standards of society. "You amaze me, Mr Kumar. You had everything ten years ago and treated your employees and me like trash! Remember that rainy day when I came seeking your help for drugs for my sister when you closed down Evelyne's account? I begged and begged you and what did you do? Laughed and told the guards to throw me out and now, you came her
"How could he sell the companies to Henry?" Mrs. Cavil yelled, driving into Hundeyin's driveway. She couldn't believe her eyes yesterday when Henry was announced as the new CEO of the Kumar Enterprise. The food conglomerates now belonged to her stepson! The one who was supposed to be dead and buried ten years ago!She couldn't still come to terms with the fact that Henry was richer than them even after that epic embarrassment at the fundraiser's event. The aftermath of the event still glowed at every place she visited but all thanks to the power of the name "Cavil" and her husband's legacy, the people of the town respected him and kept mute about it. "He was desperate to pay the debts he owed. You know the feds were on his neck when we didn't fulfill our promises after Evelyne's marriage," Jerry replied, getting down from the car.Mrs. Cavil roared, "But that didn't mean he had to sell them! I am going to destroy the signing over once I get in! Henry would feel my rage if he goes
He settled to take another spoon of food when a familiar face walked towards him. His father's former lawyer, Mr. Timi with a robust face that wasn't robust anymore. He always wondered what happened to the man after his dad died but was afraid to ask his stepmother."Hello, Henry Cavil. It's so good to see you," Mr Timi said, sitting next to him. "When your stepmother announced to the world you were dead, I didn't believe it for once. I went to the house to see Doreen but she wouldn't let me."Henry smiled, taking another bite of his pie, "It's alright, I am not new to what my stepmother can do. You never did show up after Dad died. What happened?"Mr. Timi swallowed, watching Henry, "Your stepmother fired me when I found out she changed your Dad's will. He didn't leave anything for her and her children. Everything she spends and uses right now belongs to you and Doreen. You heard what happened to your sister right?Henry nodded. He wasn't surprised about his stepmother's actions. Now
"No, ma'am. The Taiwanese don't have anything on them either. Their accounts were breached and they froze them until they could figure out what happened to the accounts. I called the investors and our banks. They can't help us, Mom. I don't know what else to do," Jake groaned, standing up.Mrs. Cavil cried, "Oh no! What about the Swiss account Taiwan told us to keep in case of the cops' search? We can use that right?"Jake's eyes turned sad, "Yes, mom. The Taiwan told us to use the funds but I gave everything to Evelyne three days ago to get a massage and one of Louis Vuitton's bags."What did you just spew from your mouth, Jake? You must be kidding," Mr. Cavil laughed nervously, grabbing Jake's hands. " If Eucharia dies, her blood will be on both of your hands. The bill is $2 million because of her health condition and the bills your wretched wife owes the hospital for her plastic surgery! Find that money before I return or else, both of you are dead!Evelyne pulled her jacket togeth
Henry feigned an angry tone, " You need my help on what exactly? I thought I was a useless stepson and one who needed to be dealt with. What happened?""I'm sorry for everything I did then, please, Henry. Eucharia is in the hospital and the doctor has insisted not to treat her until we make a payment and settle a previous bill."They had finally come to him. He was going to make them cry just like they did with Doreen and Mike."I'm on my way. Give me a few minutes. I will be home soon," he replied, cutting his call. He quickly sent a text to Louis informing him of their call. He bade Tough Dee goodbye and drove out of the house.He tried not to think of what he was about to do but focus on driving and listening to a soundtrack that Mike loved so much.A few minutes later, he drove into the driveway, saluting the security guards and stopping the car. He saw Jake first, then Evelyne looking older than before. Her emerald eyes which held an appeal to him before looked sad and freaky."H
"Mother, why did you reject Henry's help? You know he was the only one who could have helped us and helped Eucharia," Jake yelled, holding his mum with an intense gaze.Mrs. Cavil huffed, "You want me to collect a useless stepson's money? One who made us use our lips to pick money from the sand like pigs? No! I would rather watch my daughter die than accept help from the devil! To think that before I could even reject his help, that wicked Henry already retracted his funds!""That's what the doctor said too. It's alright, Mum. She's paralyzed already and there's nothing we can do but find ways to make her comfortable and better.""No, it isn't alright. Evelyne told me you gave Henry our properties in exchange for the money! The money he didn't pay! Jake, you're going to get him for that and collect what we own, alright?" Mrs. Cavil yelled."Alright, mum, I would start some discussion with the Taiwans on what to do. I think that settles it, right?"Mrs. Cavil rolled her eyes, "And he m
