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
Chapter 234"Dad, you didn't tell me she looks so much like me," she muttered with her gaze on the photo album.Mr. Wilson looked at him, "I didn't want to tell you, because I wanted you to find out about it yourself, that was what I wanted, and you just did. Imagine if I had told you earlier, I am sure the looks on your face right now won't be there right?"She raised her head gazing at her father, "You are right dad, I wouldn't have been this happy, but there's absolutely no problem about it. But come on, she's definitely beautiful, she looks like a model, I'd she had contested for Miss. World, I am damn sure, she's going to come out as the winner.""I'm guessing you are also saying the same thing about yourself, you both have the same look, if you are to compete for Miss. World, that means you also have a high chance of coming out as the winner right?"She burst into laughter, "Dad are you trying to flatter me? You and I both know it's not possible, the criteria then, are definitel
Chapter 235(A few hours later)Tears rolled down their eyes, "Wow, I can't believe I am crying, what a lady she was.""Yeah, your mum was a great lady, it just pains me so much that she's not alive to witness the great things I have done, and that you have accomplished. Just like I said earlier, you remember I spoke about the great plans she had for you.She said this after we did a scan, and we found out it was a girl. I badly wanted a male child, because I needed someone to take over what I had been building over the years. Without a doubt, I knew I was going to be great, and I was going to be great.But it didn't quite go the way I wanted it, your mother, on the other hand, has always wanted a female child. According to her, she wanted someone who could shake the norms, and help other ladies grow into their potential.It's just a pity that she isn't alive to see that dream of yours come to pass. It's also a pity, I failed in that direction. I am not going to give an excuse, no I a
Chapter 236Mason was seated at the other end of the bed, he was waiting patiently for Rosa to get done with whatever she had been doing in the bathroom. He had something serious, he wanted to discuss it with her, and he just couldn't wait till tomorrow. Mason wanted the matter to be trashed tonight and he wanted it to be done when she was less busy. He doesn't want to start discussing with her, and she ends up giving him excuses about wanting to attend to work related issues.That was why he opted for night, because he knows he would have her time, and she won't have any excuse. He raised his head, when he saw her walk out of the bathroom, "Rosa, I need us to talk, it's urgent."She paused on her track gazing at him, millions of thoughts ran through her mind, about what he wanted to discuss with her, but she still couldn't tell what he wanted to talk to her about."Urgent? What is it about?" She asked, as she walked towards him and sat down close to him. He kept mute for a few seco
Chapter 237She paused, staring at her husband, "Yes, yes, yes, and what are you going to do about it? Listen to me Mason, I love my job and I love the company so much, if there's anything I need to do, to make sure the company doesn't crash, count me in, I am ready to go all the way in.""Even if it means cheating on me?" He asked with a low tone, and she nodded her head, "Even if it means doing that.""I see," he said, nodding his head, not actually shocked, but also very disappointed at what was coming from her lips. He doesn't think she was sensible any more, he just doesn't believe it, how would she tell him this right in front of his face.It's just like she doesn't care about what happens to their relationship as husband and wife, her priority right now is to get the company into good hands, and she's ready to do whatever it's going to take, even at the expense of their relationship as a couple. Maybe this was the reason why she doesn't want to have anything to do with him.He
Chapter 238(Two weeks later)Mr. Leonard, Adrian's father pulled a call across to him, Adrian who was still in his office, picked up when he saw it was his father calling."Good afternoon father, how are you doing?""Adrian, I am fine, please I am in the middle of something serious, I need you to come over now," he said in a haste, leaving Adrian shocked, "“Tell me what's going on dad?""It's not something I can discuss on the phone, the best you can do for me right now is to rush down to where I am currently," he was about to hang up, but paused when he discovered he hadn't told him his address."Can I at least get to know where you are? He asked, sounding worried, "Son, I am sending it right away," he said and hung up. Just a few seconds later, his phone buzzed, it was a WhatsApp message from his father, which contained the address of wherever he was.He exhaled, as he dropped his pen, and picked up his suit which he hung over his chair, he wore it before getting up from his chai
