Kevin returned to the dining room and saw that Lily, Monica and Ivy were still tied up.“Are you guys ok?” He asked them anxiously.“Kevin, what’s going on? Who were those men?” Lily asked curiously.“Nothing to worry about. They were looking for the wrong person but I straightened it all out.” Kevin said calmly.Before Kevin could untie the three young women, he heard the sound of the door opening.It was Ivy’s father, Peter Anderson.He stood by the door with a shocked expression on his face.“Kevin, what are you doing here?” he asked in displease.Then as he looked over, he saw his daughter and two other women tied up with belt.Instantly, he became infuriated.“What the hell is going on here!?” He shouted at the top of his lungs.“Peter, this is not what it looks like.” Kevin tried to explain.“It’s not what it looks like!?” Peter countered.“What the hell do you think it looks like!?”Kevin tried to answer but he had no idea what to say.“How can you do something like this
Kevin continued, “I am getting ready to open the biggest hotel in Veridonia and I have decided to ask you to be the vice president.”“Really!?” Monica asked excitedly.“Of course it’s true. But I need to know soon so please don’t take too long to decide.” Kevin said very casually.He had already made an agreement with Collins Coke.The two of them were going to join forces and build the biggest hotel in the whole of Veridonia.“Just don’t disappoint me. If you accept my offer, I’ll give you three times the industry standard.” Kevin added.Monica was dumbfounded and she stammered as she tried to say something, “A…. am… am I dreaming!? You really want me to be the vice president!?”“There is only one condition. I want you to help me keep an eye on Lily. If any man tries to get close to her, you must let me know immediately.” Kevin said very seriously.“I won’t let you down, Mr. Williams!” Monica replied excitedly.At that very moment, at the Jones mansion, Grandma Jones was sitting with
“Kevin, if you want your money back, I can transfer it back to you right now. However, if you want to use it to save Williams Media, it won’t work.” Mathew said displeased with the arrogant attitude of his nephew.“This is your grandfather’s decision. I advise you to come back and apologize to your family, we can still work this out.”It looked like Kevin didn’t have any options left.He just hung up the phone and tapped on his desk as he pondered on what to do.He couldn’t understand how the Williams family had suddenly found enough money to do this.After thinking for a while, he decided to call Collins Coke, Eliana Wright, Antoine Bruce and the others for an emergency meeting at his office.Within an hour, they had all arrived.“Mr. Williams, what’s going on? Why did the Williams family suddenly plunge this financial tech on Veridonia?” Eliana was the first to ask.“With their influence, they’ll have no trouble taking over all the major industries in the city. But the way they ar
Grandma Jones then turned to Lily and forced a smile, “Lily, this concerns the survival of our family. Why don’t you turn in all the shares? In any case, don’t you agree that it’s not fair for them in your hands anyway?”“I don’t agree.” Kevin shouted.“What did you say!?” Grandma Jones snapped back.Before Kevin could say anything, Drake jumped on him too.“Kevin, don’t think you are so special just because you know a few rich people. If you were so great, why don’t you get them to bail us out?”They all started to criticize Kevin again. Complaining that he wasn’t a true member of the Jones family and he had no voice in their meetings.Then Drake continued to explain his plans, “Grandma, I recently met with a senior member of Williams Media. As long as Lily is ready to turn over her shares, I have a way to convince Williams Media. After the crisis is over, we can sell them and get control over company again.”“And how do we allocate the shares after that!?” Kevin asked loudly.Everyo
“Hello Kevin? What do you want?” Officer Helene answered in a surprised tone.“I was wondering what you might know about green Tourmaline?” Kevin asked hesitantly.“I was wondering why you would ask me something like that?” she said frankly.“A lot of people believes that certain stones can help you to relax, calm you down or help you focus or help you focus on your health. Things like that.”“Interesting!” Kevin said.“I felt drawn to a Tourmaline bracelet the other at an antique store. what do you think?”“Why should I tell you!?” officer Helene said jokingly.“I’m serious, Helene.”“Ok, fine… I’ll tell you but, you need to say PLEASE” Officer Helene replied mischievously.“C’mon! I’m serious here.” Kevin was starting to get frustrated.He knew that she was just teasing but he didn’t have time for this today.“C’mon… just once! What’s the magic word?” Officer Helene tried again.“Ok! Please…” Kevin said in a very low voice.“I’m sorry but I can’t hear you. Could you speak up?” Helen
“If you don’t leave right now, I’ll be forced to call the security!”“Miss. Gray, I’d like to withdraw two million dollars in cash immediately.” Kevin said as he took out his black card and slapped it in her hand.The VIP on-lookers started to whisper to each other.“Did he really say he was going to withdraw two million dollars!?”“He is just fooling everyone!”“Just look at how he is dressed.”She looked at him disdainfully and then at the black card in her hand.There wasn’t even a name on it.Just as she was about to throw the black card out, the bank manager happened to pass by.When he saw the black girl, he was so shocked that his legs got weak.“Miss. Gray, what’s going on here!?” the man asked abruptly.“Mr. Douglas, this man has been causing trouble!”Of course she didn’t forget to give Kevin a sneer.Douglas was really so angry that he said to himself, “We really have to better training.”He paused and then explained, “This is a black card! There isn’t another one in the wh
Officer Helene leaned over to scan the room while she was still lying on the floor.“There are too many innocent people here. We need to wait for a better opportunity.”Kevin nodded in agreement when she said this.In fact, he wasn’t sure he wanted to stop them because he was worried she’d draw him into another fight like the way she did with the grave-robbers.Just then, the leader of the gang pointed a gun at the bank’s employees and snarled, “Go to the volt and bring back eight million dollars bills and don’t try anything you’d regret.”The bank manager Mr. Douglas pleaded with him, “We… we… we don’t have that much money right now.”The robber responded by shooting Douglas in the thigh.He fell to the ground grabbing his leg and letting out an agonizing scream.“I won’t say this again. Eight million in cash right now!” he yelled as he pointed the gun at Douglas’s head.The customers and employees were frozen with fear.They didn’t expect their day to turn out like this.“Too many c
“Don’t you know how to rob a bank!?” Kevin asked in a mocking tone.“Kevin!” Officer Helene shouted nervously.She could tell that Kevin was doing this to distract the man and keep anyone else from getting hurt.“Why don’t you put the gun down and face me like a real man?” Kevin said with a mocking smile.“Shut up!” the man yelled as he turned towards Kevin but he was so nervous that he accidentally pulled the trigger again.Luckily, the man’s shot was aimed at the floor and it didn’t hurt anyone.In desperation, the man suddenly grabbed the little boy next to him, “If you say another word….”But he didn’t have to finish his threat.Kevin knew what he meant and didn’t make a move cause he was too worried that the kid would be injured.Now that the robber had hostages, he had to be careful.Kevin took a deep breath and said, “Let’s talk this over.”“Talk!? There is nothing to talk about. You are going to stay right here and we are going to leave. Take another step and you’ll regret it.
