Chapter 157Aaron stopped sobbing and exhaled, "Ready?". He spoke up when his dad's call came in, "Sorry, please excuse me." He answered the call, "Aaron, where are you?" "I am in Adrian's office," he replied, gazing at Adrian."That's so nice of you, Come on I want to see you immediately, it's very urgent," he said over the phone."Very urgent?" He asked, still gazing at Adrian."Yes, it's that urgent," Mr. Richard replied and hung up to prevent further questions from Aaron. His guess was correct, he knew the first person his son would probably go to would be his greatest enemy, Adrian Grayson."Is there any problem?" Adrian asked, gazing into his eyes as he sat back on his chair, Aaron nodded his head, "He sounded so important, I will take my leave now.""You are free to go, I hope to hear from you soon," Adrian muttered as he walked out of his office.He sat back, thinking about what just happened, was that a part of his mission? How did he possibly find out that dude was going
Chapter 158Adrian didn't know who he was, he hadn't seen him since he started working in this company, but the young man was excited to see him. He had no choice but to play along, "Mr. Adrian, thank you so much for what you did, sir. After that night you met me at the bar and you told me to do certain things and I will get massive results."He paused, staring at Adrian, "Guess what?" "What?" Adrian asked him what he had to say. "It paid off and I just bought my dream car, I fucking got my dream car, Mr. Adrian.""Congratulations man, I am so happy for you," he spread his arms wide for a hug, Adrian knew what it means to come from nothing and work your way up to something, stories like this always make him happy. He didn't like the fact he was the one taking the credit, because he didn't play any role, but he couldn't just ruin the guy's mood."Here's my car key, I would love you to be the first person excluding me to ride the car. It will mean the world to me," he stretched the
Chapter 159Adrian and Mr. Brook both turned facing each other, "Come on guys, shake yourself," Elder Jackson said with his arms crossed, gazing at them."Come on guys, I don't have to repeat myself, I am sure you guys heard me, forget about what transpired between you guys a few minutes or a few hours ago. It's time for a fresh start, come on, I am sure you guys are going to make magic," Elder Jackson said walking away from his table.Shill ma walked towards her boss, "Boss, come on, why don't you be the bigger person, it takes nothing to shake hands, besides he has years of experience with a proven track record. Remember how you spoke highly of him some years back," she whispered into his ears.Adrian returned his gaze to him, wondering why he never heard of his name but the former occupant of his body knew him. Was he that successful in the business world? "If you aren't ready to be the bigger person, I will be the bigger person," Mr. Brooks stretched his hands forward for a hands
Chapter 160Isla sat on her chair gazing at the text message on her phone, she picked up her phone and dialed Jaguar line. He answered immediately, "Jaguar, how many text messages did you send to me?""Just one, is there a problem?" He asked."No, someone sent me a text message, I will forward it to you soon, it's kind of coded, when you get the message, tell me what you think about it via WhatsApp.""No problem, you know I am always here whenever you need me," he replied."Thank you for that," she smiled and hung up. She dropped her phone and caught herself smiling, immediately she slapped herself, "Why are you smiling, you can't fall in love with him. You are way older than him and you are married."Isla shook her head, "No, no, no, it's not a big deal to give love a chance again, besides the husband I am married to is cheating on me and still acting like a saint. If things work out between us fine, if it doesn't work out."Immediately her phone rang, it was Jaguar calling, she imme
Chapter 161Adrian walked back to his office after seeing Mr. Brooks off, "Aaron, what is it you want to speak to me about?" He asked as he walked to his seat."What's it? It's a lot, I just hope I can communicate this in the best way possible, without exaggerating things," he replied."What are you talking about, spill, I am listening," he muttered and fell back to his chair with his gaze on Aaron.Aaron took in a deep breath, "I am sure you aren't obnoxious about the tussle in the family, everyone wants to be the heir and a lot of things have been done, both the good and bad.""Go on, I am listening.""You see, I have never for once been interested in this inheritance of a thing. What I wanted to do was own an art gallery, do exhibitions, invest as much as I could, get married, and raise my kids…But my Dad was against what I wanted, according to him, he was doing this for my good. He coerced me into getting into a dispute in the family, and I learned a few things from him, just lik
Chapter 162Isla, Audrey, and Jaguar took their time in providing the necessary medical care Adrian, Shilla, and Aaron needed. "Thank you so much , my love," Isla muttered when they were done."Huh? Your love? What's going on here aunt? You have a husband and a boyfriend?" Audrey asked, wearing a confused and disdainful look."It's not like that Audrey, life happened, it's not something I am ready to discuss and please let this stay between us. Nobody should know about this, not even your Mum, Adrian, or my husband," She pleaded as she walked towards him."If I am going to do that, you need to pay me," Audrey had a mischievous smile on. "Pay you? Why?" Jaguar asked, looking shocked and angry she was trying to use this to get money from her aunt."How much?" She asked as she launched her bank app."How much? Five million," she replied."What? Five million? That's much, this is stealing young lady," Jaguar said walking towards her."Done," he heard Isla's voice from behind and Audrey
Chapter 163Mr. Henry Wilson and Mr. Leonard Grayson both walked out of the restaurant holding hands, "Thanks for hosting me, I hope we can do this again," Mr. Wilson muttered as they got to where their cars were parked.Mr. Leonard nodded his head with his gaze on his wristwatch, "Yeah, same here, please I have to go, I have a business board meeting to attend.""Same here," they both shook hands and walked into their respective porch cars with their security guys behind.They both drove out of the restaurant, Mr. Leonard took the left route, and Mr. Henry took the right route. "Boss, what do you think about this deal?" Troy, who was seated beside the driver, asked while monitoring the movement of a stock in the stock market on his iPad."I think it's going to be a good deal, you know Mr. Henry Wilson has been a major partner for a decade, now he is a family business partner and not just a partner of our company.”"It looks like you trust him so much?" Leslie, who was seated beside
Chapter 164Adrian was shocked, "Yeah, Mr. Brooks, do you guys have any problem with that?"The trio nodded their heads, Shilla and Aaron both chuckled, and Adrian who was confused, why were they confused? "What's the problem?""What's the problem? Are you for real? You just got off a call with Mr. Brooks, the special one." Adrian was still in shock, he found it strange that they all knew this man except him. "Come on guys, we are Grayson and we only attract our kind, and Mr. Brooks is one."He shifted his gaze to Shilla, "Aren't you heading home, have you forgotten what you are celebrating today?" Her eyes popped out, "Oops, I almost forgot, he's going to be mad at me, I am sorry guys I need to go."Adrian held her back, with his hand on her left arm, "Come on Shilla, it's late already, why not just tell him the truth? Inform him you got into an accident, you can snap my car and send it to him. Then inform him, you are fine and you will be at home first thing tomorrow morning bec
