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
Chapter 167"Ethan I asked a question, what's bothering you?" He chuckled, "It's nothing, I guess I am just caught up in the euphoria of what just played out. Well, from the looks of things, I don't think that plan of mine can be realized…But I am going to come up with something soon and you should also come up with a plan. You know the popular saying, "two good heads are better than one right?"Liam nodded his head, "Yes, you are right Ethan, two good heads are better than one. Sorry for the inconvenience I caused you this morning, I will return to my room," he paused, "That reminds me, you know it's been a while we showed up at the office, don't you think we should show up today? You know we need to give a good impression of ourselves, it will make Elder Jackson think we are diligent and that we have the office at heart."Ethan nodded his head, "That's a good idea, just give me a few minutes to get ready." Liam nodded his head and returned to his room to dress.Adrian woke up after
Chapter 168It was at that point he knew he had to intensify his search in getting the book, the past occupant of his body wrote down bad and painful events."Martinez, I am fine without those drugs, the drugs have been able to work to a certain point and have improved my immune system," Adrian replied as he stepped out of the box with a towel wrapped around his waist.He stepped out of the bathroom and walked into the room, "Seriously boss, I am not happy about this, but it's okay, I understand."Adrian paused and walked towards him, "Martinez, I wish I could explain this to you, but I can't, I don't really need these drugs, I am fine." Adrian wished he could just inform him he wasn't his former boss, but someone else who bore the same name as his former boss.He was just an occupant of his boss's body, because of a mission he has to fulfill before the mark on his wrist fades away. Yet, he hasn't been able to identify what the mission is all about."It's alright, hurry up boss, you d
