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
Chapter 165(The next day)Adrian woke up after his alarm blared hard, he smiled when he remembered what Audrey had done yesterday. Instead of driving home, she stopped at a bar and asked that they have a little drink with her before going home.They agreed, but she was the only one who ended up getting drunk when they were leaving the bar. Aaron decided to drive since Audrey was drunk, but they had to drop Isla off before driving to the mansion.He stood up and did his morning routines, dressed up, and was about to step out when Martinez walked into his room with a shocked look on his face. "What's that look on your face?" Adrian asked as he adjusted his suit."When did you return boss? I came to your room to check up on you but you weren't in your room. And if I remember, that was around quarter to twelve.""Yeah, I came in a few minutes past one, come on walk me to the car, I don't want to be late for work," Martinez collected the briefcase Adrian was holding as they both walked
Chapter 166Ethan had one of his hands on the wheel and the other at the door, he had calculated it already. Eight seconds for the collision to happen, he was going to jump out of the car.His only wish when he jumped out, there shouldn't be an incoming vehicle. If by any chance there is an incoming vehicle, he is probably dead.Adrian decided to take a look at his side mirror and that was when he noticed the car behind him. He was shocked at the speed of the car and how close it was to him, but he didn't really think about it.Just eight seconds later, Ethan did the unbelievable leaving his brother in shock, he jumped out of the car, luckily there was no incoming vehicle when he landed on the road with his back on the floor. The next thing Liam heard was, boom! Adrian hit his head on the wheel and passed out, the same thing happened to Liam. Ethan smiled and flagged down a cab, he wasn't going to go home, neither was he heading to the office, he was going to have a chilled drink in
