Chapter 226Mr. Brooks stormed out of his car and headed straight to the elevator, he wasn't okay with what Adrian was doing. They spoke about creating a tech company, it's been almost a week now, and he hasn't heard anything from Adrian.Adrian wasn't picking up his calls, and he wasn't replying to his emails either, and this got Mr. Charles Brook angry and pissed. He got into the elevator, and up he went to the top floor, where Elder Jackson's office was located.(Five minutes later)Mr. Charles Brook stormed out of the elevator and headed straight to Elder Jackson's office; he was about to enter when his secretary appeared, stopping him from gaining access. "Mr. Brooks, I am sorry, you can't go in."He didn't say a word, but the look on his face sent a message to Heilda, she stepped away immediately and he walked straight into Elder Jackson's office. Elder Jackson was shocked to see him, "Mr. Charles Brook, the great Mr. Charles Brook, you never informed me you were coming today.
Chapter 227(At Midnight)Everyone was seated in the dining room of Jakes, they were gazing at each other before Audrey broke the silence, "Guys, this is the moment we have all been waiting for, I don't understand why no one is saying a word."Aaron laughed, "It looks like you didn't read the message sent to the WhatsApp group right?""What? She quickly brought out her phone and clicked on the Whatsapp app, she tapped on her archived chat. Shilla who lied to her husband, who was going on a business trip, peeped at Audrey's screen and shook her head, "Can you imagine, she archived the chat.""Wow, that's great, that's why she didn't see the message," Martinez, who had sneaked out of the house with Audrey, said."Do you have a problem with that? Archiving a chat, is it a criminal offense or what?" She asked with her gaze on her phone."No, it's not," Isla replied, resting her head on the shoulders of Jakes, who had his eyes closed. Greg, Gary, Max, and Jack, also had their eyes shut,
Chapter 228Dagger drove in, he didn't have an idea where Jakes's apartment was located, he was surely going to tour around the estate. The only way he would be able to detect the apartment of Jakes, was by the car of Isla.According to the information he gathered, she came with her car, the name of her car and the plate number were sent to him. That was what he was going to use in identifying the apartment of Jakes.He stepped on the gas pedal to his bike and started his tour around the estate, intending to capture her alive and take her out of the estate in her car, without the Estate security suspecting any foul play.********"Come on guys, let's move in," Jakes replied and they moved in, "Audrey, please don't forget your job, we need visuals, inform us if anyone is coming from the North or South, is that clear?""Yes boss, it is," she replied with her gaze fixed on the different screen of Mr. Chole's apartment. "Come on, tell us where to go, or don't you know the room he is in
Chapter 229Craig waited for Chole to get closer to him, and when he did, he grabbed him by the neck, and pointed a gun on his head. "You almost killed someone and you had the guts to leave her at the hospital?""What, how did you know about this?" Chole asked, looking shocked.Craig chuckled, "How did I know about it? Well that's because I was at the wayside when it happened, that's how I know. Also, I followed you to the hospital and I also traced you down here. I don't know what's your name, listen to me."He paused and continued, "There's a bounty on your head, if you want to stay alive, just do what I am about to tell you to do. If you don't, trust me when I say you are going to end up dead, or half of your body amputated.""What? But I didn't do anything wrong," Craig cried out in defense."Shut the fuck up, who do you think you almost hit with your car, that was the daughter of Mr. Henry Wilson, I know that name rings a bell in your brain right?"Chole gasped, "Yeah it does, b
Chapter 230Dagger walked into the building and was shocked to see the door wide open, "Wow, this is definitely going to be easier than I think." He walked in with his gun in his hands, Isla had no idea he was there, because she was backing him.She was gazing at the dining, not until she felt something strong at the back of her head, "You, move, you speak, you scream, you are going to end up dead." He only said that just to scare her and prevent her from coming up with a show, his boss commanded him to bring her alive and not dead."Kindly raise your hands and stand up slowly," Dagger said as he took a few steps away from her, she did as she said, while she kept on asking where Martinez was. "Good girl, now walk to the door, I have your car keys in my hands, we are using your car. So please hurry up and let's do what's needed in a peaceful and quiet manner."Isla nodded her head, as she quaked, "Come on girl, let's do this fast, I don't have time."She nodded her head as she got on
Chapter 231(Three months later)Adrian stood up with a glass of champagne in his hands, "Today makes it three months since I was kidnapped, and thanks to you guys, even when the police couldn't get me free. You guys showed up, and you did the impossible, saving me from death."He paused, and continued, "God knows, I would have ended up dead because that fool wanted to see me bleed to death. If not for your timely intervention, I would be dead right now. I am officially making a toast to and for a good life, for wealth, and the huge blessings coming in the future.Thanks to every one of you, I love you all, and I am also grateful that you guys are here, and you have all agreed to have my back.Cheers to a good life, cheers to greatness," he muttered and they all clicked their glasses together.He sat down, and Audrey raised her hand, "Go ahead, what do you have to say?""You know that night was filled with so many revelations, like who would have thought that Shilla was an ex-spy, and
Chapter 232They were all shocked, "Adrian, you want to play dirty? That's not who you are, I don't see any reason trying to be like them to beat them. If we have always survived one way or the other no matter what they threw at us. I believe we can also achieve the same thing.We just need to be extra careful and pay attention to what they have to say, that's all, I won't advise that you also get dirty, no it won't pay. Also, I ain't sure, it's going to make you any different from them, it's definitely going to put the both of you in the same spot," Isla muttered with a low voice as she sat up.Jakes, who has been quiet throughout, decided to speak out, "I agree with what Isla said, you don't really know what it feels like to play dirty. It's better you don't, if you have been able to scale through, trust me when I say, you can still do it.I mean, you have us, we are here for you, and you are here for us, what I will suggest is that you focus more on the business. You have many resp
Chapter 233Hailey got up from the bed staring at the chandelier hanging over her head, she was lost in thought that she didn't even know when her father walked into her room. Mr. Wilson sat beside the bed and reached for her hands, she jolted, "Hailey, are you fine? Hope all is well?"She looked at him and a dry smile escaped her lips, "Yes Dad I am fine, you know I have never been involved in an accident, every time my mind keeps on drifting to such incidents and it's just frustrating.At times I find myself lost in deep thoughts, about what negative thing would have happened to me, if the driver didn't take me to the hospital immediately. I am grateful to him, if it was others, trust me when I say, they would leave me there on the road."Her father shook his head, she nodded her head, "Dad, I know what I am saying, I was the one who intentionally ran to the middle of the road. It was a suicidal attempt, if it was others, they were going to zoom off.But that dude did his best in ta
