Chapter 240(Two hours later)Ethan strolled into his office and forgot to lock his door, he had no idea his voice was loud, and Adrian was passing by. Ethan could no longer wait for Adrian to be taken out, before he eliminated his twin brother, he wanted it done quickly."I need you to kill him at the spot, please don't hesitate to bring his body to me, you don't have to know what I will use his body for, what matters is that he needs to be killed tonight, or at evening. But it must happen today, I don't need it to happen tomorrow morning, or even at midnight, it's either it happens or it happens, is that clear?He kept quiet, probably listening to what the other person at the other side of the call had to say, a few minutes later he spoke up, "Come on, what do you mean by you have forgotten the name of the target, it's Liam Grayson.""Yes my twin brother, I need him dead tonight, don't do much, don't do less. Just do what I have asked you to do, and bring his body to me, near the ce
Chapter 241(Three hours later)Liam decided to trust Adrian this once, he packed up his belongings, shut off the lights in his office and walked out of his office, closed the door of his office and walked straight to the elevator.He was sweating profusely, everyone would do especially when you know your life is hanging on the line. His hands were also shaking, in order to prevent his driver and bodyguards from getting hurt, he had asked them to go home, he would be driving himself back home.They refused because of the order Elder Jackson gave them, but he knew what he was preventing. He didn't want them dead because of him, they had family members like him, their safety was what he wanted. He didn't care what Elder Jackson would do, he promised he would stand in for them, and help them out in whatever way he can.When he accepted, he felt so much at peace, he walked out of the elevator and walked to where his car was parked. He looked around, and noticed that Ethan was still in the
Chapter 242Adrian nodded his head, he opened the laptop and shut it off, before they walked out of the building to library. They both walked to where his car was parked, and they drove back home, just In time before Ethan could return home.Immediately they got home, Liam didn't say a word to anyone, he went straight to his room, and locked the door. He walked into the bathroom, took off his clothes and got into the bathtub crying his eyes out.Now he has to be extra careful around the one he so much trusts, and he has to trust the one he so much hates, life they say is not only filled with ups and downs, it's also filled with plot twists.*****Ethan asks them to bring out the dead body of Liam, they quickly hurried to Liam's car, and brought out the body of the guy they had killed. From afar he was smiling, he thought it was Liam, but when they brought him closer.But when they brought him closer, that was when he realized that it wasn't Liam, but another person, who had close rese
Chapter 243Elder Jackson cleared his throat, "Are you trying to say, you aren't going to get married?"Adrian raised his head as tilted his head towards Elder Jackson, "Honestly, marriage isn't top of the list, for now, I doubt if I am going to get married."Elder Jackson let down his cutleries, "Adrian, can you hear yourself, what do you mean by you aren't sure you aren't going to get married. Don't you know how important the institute of marriage is?"Adrian exhaled, he knew it was going to be a long discussion about the subject of marriage, and Elder Jackson won't allow him to be. "Yes Elder, I know how important it is, but I don't think it's for someone like me.""You don't believe it's for someone like you because you are some Greek god, or what?" Madeline chipped in not hiding the hatred she has for him.Adrian looked at her for a few seconds, before tilting his head back to Elder Jackson, "It's a decision I have made many years ago, and I can't just back out of it. I just don'
Chapter 244Adrian and Shilla both walked to their office, Mr. Brooks who was dressed in a three piece black suit, turned towards them, when he heard the clicking of their shoes on the floor."Good morning Adrian, hope you had a great night's rest?" He asked as they got close to him."Yes I did Mr. Brooks, good morning," he said, stretching his hands for a hand shake. They both shook hands, and he moved to the door of his office. Adrian placed his thumb on the censor of the door, and it opened up.They got in, Shilla moved over to her desk, while they moved to his office, "Please have your seat," Adrian said as he moved over to his seat.Mr. Brooks sat down, "I am sorry I showed up and announced, I was here four weeks ago, but Elder Jackson revealed to me that you were kidnapped. It didn't quite sit well with me, but there was only little I could do.""It's okay, if I may ask why are you here Mr. Brooks?" Adrian asked as he set up his table."Why am I here? I am here to see you, and I
Chapter 245"I am in, how can I not be part of a team that works, you saved my life. The best I can do is to repay you guys for everything you have done for me," Liam replied."Really, that means you are officially joining our team right, big bro?" Audrey asked and he nodded his head."That's great, but what we have to do right now is to make sure that you are safe, and you also play the role of Aaron. To me that's the best way to guarantee your freedom, if you ask me," Adrian muttered."I don't doubt that's the best way, but all finger's crossed, he's going to be fine, and we are going to do our best to make sure that he's fine," Aaron replied.They all hugged each other, before returning to their different room.(Present)"I think we have waited for so long, the best we can do right now is to look for ways and means to bring him down. Don't you think, we have given him much space to rest," Liam asked, folding his arms on his chest as he sat up.Aaron nodded his head, "That's the sam
Chapter 246Hailey, and her father were still bitter from what happened yesterday, in that bitter state of his. He walked to his garage, got into one of his cars, and drove off to Grayson's office. He was going there to give them a piece of his mind.Not only that, his mind was made up, he was going to terminate every contract he has with the Grayson cooperation. He just couldn't believe what Adrian did to him, after walking out on him, the respect people had for him, dropped automatically.It made him wonder what type of influence Adrian has been able to wield over the years. It's just so surprising to him that he has been able to build himself deep, rooted into the hearts of many people, including his staff.Just because of what happened, about five percent of his staff resigned. It was freaking hard for him to believe, but it was reality. He drove to the garage, and came down from the car in rage. Everyone who saw him, definitely knew he was angry, and they had to give way for him.
Chapter 247Liam exhaled, as he placed his hands on the table, "I want to know how you were able to join Adrian. I mean we all know you weren't on good terms with him, what changed?"She smiled, "Thank goodness you said, I wasn't on good terms with him, that was in the past. But right now, I think I just decided to re-evaluate my decision, and do what's right, that's it.""Re-evaluate your decision, and do what's right?" Liam muttered.She nodded her head, "You know, I was always jealous of Adrian, you know what I mean right? The dude had everything I wanted, he was closer to Elder Jackson than we all. I don't need to tell you what that means automatically right?"Liam nodded his head, "I understand what that means, he that's closer to Elder Jackson has more chance of being chosen as the heir. But if I am not mistaken, there were times you attempted to take his life right?"She nodded her head, still gazing into his eyes as they spoke, "Yeah, there were times when such an incident hap
