Gale was beginning to recover. His recovery took days and he hated it. He wanted to be up and about, helping to catch the criminals that dare come against the Milton Conglomerate. He heard from Clint what Cade said about finding the owner of the Nobles Groups of Companies. He wondered how Cade found the man that easily and even arrested him. Gale had figured out from the man's rambling that day that he was the owner of the Nobles' Companies and he had planned to inform Cade of the development by himself and help him, but here he was, stuck in the hospital. Cade could no longer come to visit Gale while he was in the hospital because he got very busy with all the matters at hand but Gale didn’t hold a grudge against Cade. He knew how busy his boss was. Besides, Cade called everyday and insisted on speaking to Gale through video call to see with his own eyes that Gale was alive and recovering. When Gale had finally recovered enough to be discharged, he and Clint began planning their dep
Cade put Derek in the same cell as his family members. Putting them in the same place was strategic. He wanted them to bicker, blame themselves and maybe even try to kill each other. While arguing, they were more likely to spill more secrets about their actions and that would serve as more evidence against them. If they tried to actually kill each other, they would be charged for violence by the officers. But first, he was going to take Barnes to the board room for a meeting before sending the matter to court. He would have Barnes tell the board members why he fabricated a lawsuit so just in case there was any of them who still doubted his innocence, it would be reaffirmed. He knew that some of them were still finding a way to get him out as CEO of the company because they felt he was too young to lead them when they had more age and experience.Cade dismissed Gale and Clint from their duties, giving each a week off from work for their services in finding the owners of the Nobles' Com
Cade took Barnes along to work. Soon, they got to the company. Cade's driver opened the door for the two men and they got down. It was evident in his face, how awestruck Barnes was by the magnificent building that laid out in front of him. So this was the Milton Conglomerate? It looked like the building would come falling on his face when he looked up at the height and expanse of the building. He quickly composed himself, however, to avoid giving Cade the satisfaction of his admiration. He had only seen the building on television, seeing it face to face was intimidating to Barnes because though his father had been a millionaire, he had never enjoyed this level of wealth. He was jealous of Cade’s wealth and felt like Cade owed them for taking him in when he lost his memory. That excuse made him justify all he was doing. Cade on his part had seen Barnes' unhidden surprise before he could even cover it up. This made him swell with pride within himself to see one of the people who had bel
Cade did not want to take matters into his hands, so he called the police. In a matter of minutes, the sounds of sirens coming from the police cars filled the air. Soon they were with Cade. An officer came to talk with Cade while a few others inspected the area. Barnes had still not woken up. Cade stood outside his car with the police officers, one of whom was now interrogating him. "He just brought a gun and shot at the driver before aiming at me. Then I punched him on the head before he could shoot at me, which is why he's passed out now." Cade narrated to the police officer interrogating him. The man looked into the car again for the fifth time. He could see the gun held lightly in the unconscious Barnes' hand. He nodded and wrote something on a note. “I’ve taken out all the bullets. The gun is harmless.” Cade said to the officer as the officer looked at the gun again and the man nodded before speaking."Reggie!" The staunch faced police officer called. Another police officer ans
Cade got a call from the police about the successful operation of finding the Bellwethers. "Mr Milton," the voice began, "we have found the suspects you declared wanted.""Thank you," Cade said and put off the call. He left what he was doing at the moment and went to get ready to be at the police station. Before leaving, Cade called on Gale to oversee the activities going on in the company. Cade got to the police station at the late hours of the morning. He asked to see the Bellwethers and he was given an audience with them individually. He first met with Hailey. "I had to admit, your plan was a good plan." Cade began. He was sitting on a table, his chair opposite hers, in a dark room with just the both of them alone. Hailey had looked at him as she walked in, hate in her eyes. She sat on the seat opposite Cade. "If Barnes succeeded in killing me and you all succeeded in escaping, there would be no one to come after you the way I would have done and by now maybe you all would hav
As the call went off. Cassandra looked at her son, waiting for a word. Alex gave her the news. "It's been done." He said to his mother. She nodded in satisfaction. "So we can proceed to the next plan?" "Yes, we can. He must be thrown off guard by now." "And we can drink to his downfall now.”"Of course! I'll get the drink!" Alex said excitedly. He went to the mini bar just before the dining room and picked up a glass of champagne and flutes for his mother and himself. It was time to celebrate. He poured out the drink in both glasses and they raised up their glasses to a toast. "Here's to being clever," Alex said. "And here's to what is to come," Cassandra said and they drank up happily. After they set down their drinks, Cassandra had a question for her child. "What if Cade finds out?" This put their moment of glory to rest for a while. Alex knew, and so did his mother, that Cade was a clever person. He was almost too clever for them and they knew that when he set his mind to s
She waited till she had swallowed every bite of food in her mouth before answering Cade's question. "A trailer collided with my car." She answered simply. "A trailer? That's crazy." "Yeah." "I'm sure the trailer driver and whoever was with him did not sustain any injuries as you did," Cade said, though it was partly a question. It may seem cruel to others that he wished the driver was as hurt as his mother but he couldn’t help thinking that way. It would be unfair if the person that almost killed his mum just escaped like that with no complications after almost taking her from Cade. "I don't know if it did, but after the trailer hit my car, I lost control of my steering and the next thing I knew was that I woke up in a hospital at night." "Damn." "Yeah. You know, I think it was just some reckless driver or a brake situation. You know how these people who drive trailers can drive funny sometimes," She chuckled weakly at her joke. Cade smiled. He thought it was a case of rec
On the day of the court hearing, Cade was present at the court with his lawyer. Raegan had asked to tag along, but he did not want her here. He wanted to handle his business alone but she wanted to be there as emotional support and to watch the people that came after him finally get punished. The Bellwethers were present at the court, too. They had with them a lawyer provided to them, who would defend them. The people in the court were all seated and waiting for the judge. When the judge came in, the magistrate announced his presence by ordering the court to stand. It was after the judge took his seat that the court followed suit."Mr Milton." the magistrate called on Cade and his lawyer stood up. Then he called on the Bellwethers and their own lawyer stood up. "Prosecution, you may begin" the judge called again and Cade's lawyer moved to the front of the courtroom to begin his argument. He began his speech by giving a brief narration of the case from Cade's own point of view. Then
