Henry pressed his fingerprint and the transfer went immediately. "It's done but I still need one of your security companies. You didn't mention that but I understand, it's a joint venture with Don Aruto right?"Mr. Viola, recovering from the shock of Henry's quick transfer, replied, "Thank you, Henry. You just saved me from protests and public ridicule. About the security firm, I can do that but you will need to speak with Don Aruto first."Remembering his long conversation with Don Aruto after the fire outbreak at one of the hotels, Henry smiled, showing Mr. Viola a document, "I already spoke to him, he signed his shares to me, it remains yours."That was quick, Mr. Viola thought, reading through the documents, then signing them, then handing them over to Henry, "You're making big moves, Henry. I'm proud of you and I'm sure your father would be. May his soul continue to rest in peace, Amen."Henry nodded, taking the documents, "Amen, thank you. It was nice doing business with you. D
"Is that the CEO of Hundeyin? Omg! That's the Doreen Xbox! It's so beautiful!" a young lady whispered, as Henry walked past them.He smiled, yeah, keep talking, that's what he needed right now."Boss, I think you've gathered an audience already. They're checking out the car," Louis said, glancing over his shoulder.Henry followed his gaze and found them glowing at the car but the chauffeur was sending them off. "It looks like Chauffeur Mil is sending them off. Anyway, let them check the vehicle out, they're our customers, right?"Louis grunted, "Yeah and your stepfamily are around too. Look at Evelyne and Jake!"Henry paused, watching his ex-wife and stepbrother step into the casino. His stepmother wasn't with them neither was that Jerry! "My stepmom and Jerry aren't with them. That's odd.""I think they're not in the city. I heard one of the housekeepers saying they used another airline instead of yours because of the last embarrassment they received. About Jerry, have the lawyers st
"Raise your hand thrice too and I will call, gentlemen!" Dave yelled, raising his cards as the dealer revealed his. It was hilarious. The shock on Dave's face when he saw Louis's card fitted everything, three loves and two flowers, same with the dealers. Henry lost too, but that was the plan. "Can the casino host ensure Mr. Dave Taiwan pays for the deal? Remember, he agreed to pay all if he loses?" Dave glaring coldly at Henry, yelled, " We're the Taiwans. We live up to our promises and will never go back on our words." "Alright, proceed, Mr. Dave," the dealer replied, calculating the chips, "Since you tripled the raise and y'all agreed not to use the casino standards, the pot's total is thirty million dollars." "Waoh, that's a lot of money and the most expensive poker game ever to be played in the casino," one of the onlookers said. Henry nodded, watching Dave tap into his phone. Let the game begin! "What?" Dave yelled, staring surprised at his phone. His accounts were blocked
"Alright, four of the Taiwan companies—the insurance and engineering companies, our banks all over the world, the Taiwan airline, and the transportation companies— I guess that's thirty billion or more," Dave replied weakly, knowing the Taiwan family just lost their position as the richest and most powerful in the world.Louis clicked some buttons on his phone, humming a tune: "Yeah, it's up to thirty billion dollars; can we sign an agreement?"The dealer brought forward some papers and said, "Yes, these are the agreement papers you need to sign, Mr. Taiwan, and please note that everything you mentioned can't be revoked. This is your final decision on using the aforementioned companies as a payment to your bet, okay?"Dave collected the papers, mumbling, "Yeah, yeah. I agree, and I'm not revoking anything. I told you the Taiwanese always cleared their debts. Have a good night, Henry. I hope you take good care of my company.""Wait a second," Henry called, grinning widely at the crowd.
The meeting was swift and interesting. He got to know the team leads, executives, and the new projects they were working on. He gave brief instructions and introduced Louis as his right-hand man. The staff were accommodating, and he appreciated it. He decided to give them a bonus due to the salary issues Dave hadn't settled before he handed over the companies.Although he was planning to overlook the unpaid salaries and file a suit against Dave, he had other high priorities to take care of, and Dave wasn't part of them.He cleared his throat, getting up. "Louis would send a bonus to y'all to substitute for the unpaid salaries. I hope we continue working on great terms, everyone."An I.T. manager rose, smiling amidst the applause, and said, "On behalf of the staff members, we say a big thank you, Mr. Henry Cavil. Once again, welcome to the company. We promise to give our best services and experiences.""I would appreciate that. All project managers should report to me on projects they
"I still believe you should allow Mike to go to swimming classes. You should have seen him today. He was fast like a thunderbolt! I promise to be with him at all times if you agree to this." Louis growled.Henry gave a shrug, tired of listening to Louis. The man could make little things trivial. He had already given consent to the nanny, and he knew Louis was aware, but the man just loved to make him talk."You can take him to the swimming classes, Louis. I already gave my consent, and don't forget I was there. You kept shouting and making us the center of attraction until I left for a meeting!"Louis flashed his teeth and said, "You were there but not around to see his second performance. Thanks for the privilege. I will keep you updated on our son's progress."Henry chuckled, "Our son? When did you adopt Mike?""When you employed me, Henry, I've had updates from the lawyers. They've delivered the letter, so you might get a visit from a furious stepmother soon or maybe tonight," Loui
Henry shrugged. He didn't care. His heart was dark for them now, and lashing out embarrassments on them was his new favorite hobby. Staring at her reminded him of the night her father drenched his clothes in red wine because he came late for an event.He had hated his life that day, but forgave her because of the love he had for her. Pathetic."You're a worthless piece of trash, Evelyne, and that's what you will ever be! Now, leave with your husband!"Jake stared coldly at him and said, "Don't talk to my wife that way, Henry! We would leave your hotel, but we won't forget this!"Henry signaled to the guards, "Take them out and don't let them in ever again, alright?""Henry!" Evelyne shrieked, fighting the guards and trying to hold on to her torn dress. "I hate you, Henry! I hate you!"He grinned, watching the scene. The guests were having a free show today, obviously. They were taking pictures and laughing at Jake's poor attempt to cover Evelyne properly. The payback was sweet. He was
The horse ride was beautiful. Mike kept pointing at birds, a mongoose, even a parrot. Henry chuckled, answering the curious questions the boy threw at him.He took Mike around the large farm lands and showed him different fruits and grains. Some workers were around, so Henry let them answer his questions. The note pad was almost filled up by the time they were on their way home.He noticed a black range Rover parked outside the driveway and wondered who the security guard allowed in while he was away. Louis wasn't around when he stepped in but his stepmother and Jerry. He could guess what they came from, but didn't want to push.He instructed one of the housekeepers to take Mike upstairs and allow him to visit one of his friends living at the end of the large estate.Mrs Cavil coughed, standing up immediately Henry stepped in, said, "Good afternoon Henry, I apologize for my behavior yesterday. I was just angry about how things have turned out ever since you returned. I apologize for e
Evelyn noticed her sister isn't at home yet. She tried calling her number but it's isn't going.She tried the same for Henry's numbers but it wasn't going also. She decided to call Louis and it was the same thing."Fuck shott."She cursed"Why are they not picking where could they be?" She asked herself pacing around the room. She couldn't think straight. She didn't know what to do.She called their number, but it wasn't going.Evelyn slept that night and told herself she was going to go to their house first thing in the morning.*The Next Day.*Evelyn woke up feeling sad, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but she was just sad. She felt something was going wrong somewhere.She stood up and left the house without even bathing. She first went to the company hoping to find her sister there, but she did not.She heard the shareholders will be holding a meeting there, she couldn't find her sister. She then decided to go to Dexter's office. She couldn't find him also.She couldn't eve
"Sean are you ready to take your revenge?" Erica questioned him."Yes, I am so ready to take my revenge, where is the gun? Knife anything? I am fucking prepared every fuckin time." Sean replied Erica.Erica went to meet Sean and ask him if he is ready to take his revenge. Sean wanted to kill him by every means."I need Mike, the only person who can lure Henry is Mike." Sean told her."Consider it done." She assured him.Dexter was prepared for the operation, he wanted to take them down as fast as he can. He got a call from Erica that he should kidnap Sean first."Come and meet me at the warehouse immediately you are done." He said to her.Dexter was already with his guys in a dark and secluded warehouse, a group of people huddled around a table, planning their next move.This was not a typical meeting, but one with a sinister purpose. They were planning a kidnapping, and every detail had to be just right.Dexter showed them the target picture so they will not end up going for the wron
*Later That Day.*Erica was at Dexter's company, she went there immediately she was done with stuffs at her company. She also went there since he refused to answer her calls."We need to act fast, we don't know what the guy is planning. I loosed the video, and there isn't anything we can use against him anymore." Erica told Dexter he thoughts drinking the juice that was placed on the table."We will kill him if he has any other intentions, we are not going to let him bring us down." Dexter said to her."Since you said that guy is available, I guess he is will be the one to take the revenge. That way we will be free for the rest of our lives." Dexter said to Erica."Do you not feel we should kidnap him, that easy it would more easy for him to get killed." She said to him."Yes, I agree with you." Dexter told her."Don't you have some met out there that could help us with it. We can't do it on our own." She told him."That's true, I will find some useful guys that can assist us in kidna
*The Next Day.*Henry woke up the next morning feeling so refreshed, he slept peacefully like a baby in the night. He couldn't get to see Evelyn the other day because he was tired already.He decided he was going to see her today. He put on his dress. Seeing his ex is just terrible for him. He remembered how broke he was when he caught her.He remembered how he loosed all hope after she confessed everything to him. After she told him he doesn't love her."Why do I have to dress up?" He asked himself when he noticed how nicely he was dressing."Whatever." He muttered under his breath. Henry already told Evelyn about the meeting. He walked out of the bedroom, and saw Louis waiting for him."Don't tell me you are this well dresses because of her." Louis winked at him."Me? This is just a casual well, and I am well dressed because I want to dress nicely." He said to Louis"Woah, are you going to meet up with a girl? Is he going on a blind date?" Mike was surprised by his outfit immediatel
Henry ended the call immediately after listening to what the nurse told him."What happened?" Louis inquired ok seeing how devastated he was."Someone released Sean from the hospital claiming they are related, how does that makes sense?" Henry was beginning to get so angry."It was Erica." Louis told Henry."You knew it was her and you couldn't stop her? How did you find out that it was her?" Henry queried him"I planted a tracker in her car, I saw that she went to a place and that is not the office, neither Dexter's company. She must have been the one." Louis explained to him."I knew she is up to something, we must find a way to find out what she is up to. She might want to use him or something." Mike added."She didn't know I am out the prison yet right?" Henry wanted to confirm his thoughts."Yes, she didn't know you are out of the prison yet, we need to wait for a while. That was she will be unguarded." Louis answered.They got to their house in no time and did the necessary thin
Erica laid on the bed, she realized how tired she was. She didn't know when she slept off.Evelyn tiptoed into her room, her sister was sleeping so deep that she didn't even notice when someone entered the room.Evelyn searched for the other phone her sister barely use. She finally found it in her wardrobe. She tried unlocking it but she couldn't.She then went to where he sister was using, and decided to use her finger print to open it. It opened once.The first thing she did was to set a screen timeout. She left the bedroom, and went ahead to meet Louis where he was waiting for her.She walked up to where he parked his car and entered it."How was it? Did you not get it? I thought you said you were going to text me." Louis asked her."I got the phone." She answered and have him the phone she got from her sister.Louis first went to her iMessage, hoping he could find something there but he couldn't. He then whet to her storage.Luckily for him, he saw the videos there. He didn't know
Erica was happy with the scene that was going on. She was happy seeing how speechless Henry became."Wait, why me? I am not interested. Why should I become the ceo, laugh out loud." Erica acted surprised.She knew what she was doing, she didn't want to look. Suspicious to Louis."We have noticed that you are good for this job, and we would love to pick you." They informed her."Woah, looks as if I got no choice." She stoped up."If you know you would not want her to he the CEO, please can you raise your hands up." Someone announced but none of the shareholders could raise up their hands."Today, we declare ma'am Erica as the CEO of this company." The person who was in charge of the voting said."You are fired from this company, together with Mike. We find out you two might be a threat to the new CEO as you are not happy with her becoming the CEO." The shareholder passed across the information."What does Mike have to do with this? You can fire me instead and leave the poor guy alone."
"What do you want to see me for?" Erica asked Louis immediately she got to his office."I wanted to ask you few questions, is it possible for you to go to the house we just came back from. Can you get the security footage of everything that happened during our stay there?I think there is a spy there that got it release everything we did, and sent to our rival company." Louis asked Erica for a favor.He knew what he was doing. Even though he will have to loose an evidence that is as strong as that. His main aim was to confirm if Erica was the spy, and if she has someone she is working for."Sure, I will do that." Erica assured him with a smirk on her face."You are telling your greatest enemy to do the job for you." She said to herself."Consider it done." She assured him"Thank you very much." Louis appreciated."What about Henry? I haven't seen him! Hope he is okay?" She asked him."Sure, he will not be showing his face for the meantime. He will surely get back to you once he is bac
"The police are here for what?" Henry asked with his eyes wide opened."They insisted on staying at the entrance, and they are on their way here." The girl told him and she will not stop panicking.The police entered his office without knocking, with his secretary at their back."Mr. Henry you are under arrest. We will refrain you from talking, any word can be used against you in the court of law. You are allowed to also have an attorney." One of the police said to him."Find me a lawyer." Henry said to louis and followed the police men without asking them any questions.Henry followed them willingly without asking them any questions.Louis was still shocked with what happened. He knew what happened, he knew the reason he was arrested.Louis never imagined if there is a way they can get him saved. He decided to call Henry's best lawyer.He didn't want to go and Henry immediately to avoid any suspicions. A lot of people haven't figured out that he got arrested yet."I need you here imm
