Mrs. Rosalie looked at him with mouth twitched and arms folded.” What do you want!” She yelled as she glared at him. “ Haven't you done enough!” She continued yelling, attracting another attention from the guests.“If I were you, I'd be investigating how to get in my good books, stepmother.” Jake snickered as he mentioned the last words in disdain yet mockery. “Do not call me that! I would rather not have anything to do with useless things like you.” She fumed as her eyes were red. “ You, I don't know what you have done to my husband, but I will make you pay.” She pointed her finger at Jake.Chuckling lightly, he stepped closer to her and leaned forward. Jake could see the fear in her brown eyes, and he couldn't help but scoff.“Like I said earlier, if I were you, I would be begging for forgiveness. But since you don

It was almost evening when Jake left the office feeling fulfilled and excited. Everything still feels like a dream to him, and he would rather not wake up from this dream. He was driving to the new mansion he had acquired by the seaside when his phone rang, it was a call from his father. He picked at the second ring and brought the phone closer to his hearing.“Father.” Jake acknowledged, and a humming sound came from the phone.“Hope you didn't forget about our meeting this evening?” Mr. Osborne asked slowly.Jake's eyes bulged a bit in realization and he sighed deeply. Truthfully, he had forgotten he was supposed to meet with his Father. Surely, they had some catching up to do, and he also wanted to suggest some ideas, hoping his father would approve. “Come to Pines Lake Hotel. I'll be there by 7 p.m.” Mr. Osborne spoke and Jake nodded as if he could actually see him.“Yes, Father. I will come at once.” Jake assured him.“That should be all, until we meet.” Mr. Osborne spoke befo

Numerous multi-million contracts and projects had been signed since Jake's resumption, beating all the odds against his success as the new chairman. The company's income and stocks were rising with each passing day, and Mr. Osborne was rather proud of his son.You can say he already achieved a lot within a very short time. Following Mr. Robinson Osborne's approval of Jake's foundation, a well-developed plan had kicked off for the project, and Jake was living the best life that he could only dream of in the past. One faithful morning, it had rained heavily the previous night. The day began with a cool morning breeze, and everybody strolled along the road to their respective destination.

In Y&S Global Electronics, the chairman just received the news of their detachment from C&C Global Ltd. The shock on his face was epic as he banged his fist on the table.“How dare a lowly person like him detach us!” He yelled angrily. His name was Mr. Freddy Daniel, he was in his late 40s. Mr. Freddy had been partnering with C&C Global Ltd since his company was born, and he knew how much he had benefited from the company, legally and illegally. When he heard Jake Robinson was now the new Chairman, he was angry and knew the revenue he got from them would reduce, and his reign of authority over them would be over.“Argh!” Mr. Freddy groaned loudly as he breathed frantically. A knock on his door calmed him down a bit as he anticipated who it was. “Come in!” He yelled.Soon, a lady majestically walked into his office and sat down on a chair opposite him. “Good morning, Mr. Freddy.” The lady spoke with a dubious smile on her face.“What do I owe this visit, Mrs. Rosalie.” Mr. Freddy spo

After a while of relentless search, the file was nowhere to be found.“Oh no!” She exclaimed as her eyes bulged in realization. “ The file was right in this document, or did I keep them somewhere?” She asked no one in particular as she checked the shelves in her office.“It's not here.” She spoke with a terrified look in her eyes. She mumbled slowly as she gulped nothing down her throat.She sat down as she began to think of the last place she went with the file. “I left Jake's office and came directly to this place. Well, where could the document have gone?” She inquired with a

“Who oversaw the Control room yesterday!” Jake thundered angrily as he questioned the control manager.“Sir, it… was my assistant, sir.” The control manager stuttered as he bowed in fear. He had never seen or encountered Jake before, and today when he does, he's shown the bad side of him. “Call him right away!” Jake demanded as he touched his forehead. His breathing was heavier than usual, his eyes darted left and right with numerous thoughts in his head.The control manager brought out his phone and dialed his assistant with fidgeting hands. He knew they were doomed because the footage was missing, he couldn't understand how it happened too.Soon, the assistant rushed in as he looked rather confused at what was happening.The assistant glanced at furious Jake, then at his manager, and wondered what was going on.“You, what's your name?” Jake asked coldly as he walked closer to the assistant with demeanor.“Luke, sir.” He spoke as he bowed his head, not wanting to make eye contact w

Jake clenched his fist in annoyance as he glared at Freddy, whereas Freddy was happy that the case was going in his favor.“There's more Jake.” Freddy thought inwardly as he smirked at the duo.“My Lord, if I may continue.” Freddy's lawyer spoke as soon as the judge went through the medical report.“You may.” The judge says as he scribbles something in his book.“My Lord, from the medical report you just looked at, my Client is suffering from high blood pressure which is common for people of his age, but that doesn't give C&C Global the right to detach him from their company. That would be all for now my lord.” The lawyer finally concluded.“Will the opposing lawyer start?” The judge spoke out and immediately, Jake's lawyer stood up.There was evidence of anxiety on Agatha's face as she crossed her fingers tightly. Jake's eyes darted around, hoping everything went as planned.“My Lord, before I begin, I would like to ask a question to my opposing lawyer, if truly your client was sick,

“I said enough!” Mrs. Rosalie Osborne yelled at Jefferson and Freddy who had already clenched their fists at each other.“Have you both gone nuts? We're having a serious discussion and you two are trying to pick a fight within yourselves. How do you intend to defeat Jake with such childish behaviors?" She yelled, shifting glances between the two men.“I never asked for your help in the first place, Rosalie. I can handle Jake. He is just a church rat who knows nothing at all. When I'm done with him, he will be nothing in the society.” Freddy yelled back at her, pointing his fingers towards her. His rage was evident in his gaze as he glared at her.At this point, Rosalie sighed deeply. “And if you fail in your quest to take him on alone?" She asked as she took a few paces towards Freddy.There was a short silence in the office as Freddy darted his back from left to right furiously. He squeezed his fist and narrowed his gaze from Jefferson and back to Rosalie."I repeat, what if you fai
