“You care about her don’t you?” Diana asked with a raised brow and a mischievous glint in her eyes.Leonard furrowed his brows and shook his head. “Don’t get me wrong here, I’m only going to be available for a few days and within those few days, I will help you in getting leads and then help my father get over his predicament. Aquafina is a friend so it’s only right I do this for us because she helped me as well.”Diana coughed and shrugged her shoulders, “Yeah. Well, I guess you’re right actually.”“So now, if I’m correct someone leaked the information and if it was Max, she would definitely have a backer and there’s no way all trails would be cleaned if we look deeper.”Diana stared at him, finding meaning in his words. “You’re right actually. Let’s go check the communication channels, maybe there might be something there.”… “Leonard, I think I’ve found something,” Diana said, her eyes glued to the computer screen.“What is it?” Leonard asked, moving closer and leaning in.They ha
Hello everyone, it's been two months right? And I haven't posted a chapter, I had a mental breakdown which I'm still battling with and I know my actions aren't still justified but I hope you all can forgive me because I'm back this month hopefully to give y'all steady updates. Please bear with me!
All the while, Marilyn was outside causing a commotion, Keith was in the conference room, unaware of the fact that his ex wife was rushing upstairs.“Mr. Keith, the value of the stocks for the company have grown really high and we are currently favored above our competitors although there is a problem we need to tackle,” Anderson said.Keith listened attentively and nodded for him to continue.“Since we have decided to explore other areas of business, including opening a shopping mall. A lot of people are against our impending success.”“Mr. Anderson, I suggest you go straight to the point,” Keith said with a tired sigh.“Yes, yes,” Anderson nodded, adjusting the glasses on the bridge of his nose. “Close to our construction area, the Maldivians are also building a mall and have gotten the endorsements of many in the entertainment industry. This will definitely slow us down commercially when we decide to open in three months time.”Keith raised a brow. Although, he had that the Maldivi
CHAPTER 135:ld “You!” Vincent was infuriated to the point that he almost spat out blood but he composed himself seeing Keith as an already dead man who just wants to make a show out of himself.“You don’t expect the connections to fall from the skies and besides we all know that the chairman picked you up from the streets and decided to give you this position not like you merited it in anyway.”“I will like to say something to every one of you here,” Keith said, ignoring Vincent’s statement. “Give me a month to bring all your expectations to reality.” He stared at everyone in the conference room, allowing his words to sink in before continuing.“A month is too long. The Maldivians are already one step ahead of us. We can’t wait that long,” One said.Keith found his statement to be reasonable. He had requested for a month to get things in order, getting the endorsement of the most rated model in the world was quite a big feat.“”We are giving
Marilyn’s lips curled up into a sinister smile knowing that she had somehow gotten the sympathy of those inside the room. The employees did look at Keith in a new light.Everyone knew about his son, but no one knew about his wife. Some had assumed that he was divorced and others had thought maybe she was dead but it seems the truth was finally out today. Keith had chased his wife away!Vincent chuckled darkly. He wasn’t going to let an opportunity of defaming Keith slip from his hands at all. “Hmm, it seems our chairman isn’t as simple as we all had thought. Your wife clearly had good intentions and just wanted to make a name for herself before returning
CHAPTER 137:Keith walked out of the conference room, his body shaking terribly with anger. He walked out of the building with Marilyn following closely behind. He turned to look at her not concealing the hatred in his eyes.“What else do you want from me? Haven’t you done enough already?”Marilyn pouted like kid. “What do you mean, Keith? I just want to see my son, nothing more.” She replied with the same pitiful face he detested.Keith stared at her scornfully. “You can stop the act now! Tell me what exactly you want. You and I know that you are not here to see Seth but for your own selfish reasons,” He spat. “Your lover has gone bankrupt isn’t it?”“Keith, you don’t have to be so cold to me. I didn’t come here with ill intentions at all. I still love you and our son and I want us to a happy family.”“Happy family? You still haven’t answered my question. If you think your tricks can work on me then advise you to rethink again. And stay away from me and
“Your mother is back.”The food Seth was munching hanged at the tip of his throat causing him to cough violently; he took a glass of water. “Whose mother?” He asked after he had calmed down.Keith sighed and explained the ordeal to him, including how she came to the hospital to look for hi and what happened at the office. In the end, he said, “She said she only wants to see her son.”Seth glanced at his father from his food with complicated emotions. She remembered how she had left them with another man despite how they had pleaded for her to stay. “She wants to come back into our lives when she left us in pain? She wants to come back into our lives now that we are well to do, isn’t it? She wants to cause more harm to our lives?”Keith had no reply because there were the same questions running through his mind. “But no matter what she is still your mother and I don’t want to stop her from her. The public will see me as someone who is trying to put an end to a mother and son’s relation
“We have found out that there is a particular threat to the four elite families in Oklahoma. A team has already been mobilized and any other info you might need is with them.”“What kind of threat?” Leonard asked. “Jack Anderson, he is targeting the elite families for a reason we don’t know of yet. A party is going to be held in two weeks time, here’s the invite. You have to find out his motive and also bring him down, but be careful; he might not be working alone. He definitely has a strong backer to want to pull up such big stunts.”Leonard nodded, collecting the golden envelope. “You will have to leave tomorrow that is if you are okay with. If you aren’t, you can probably leave next week.”“I will inform you of when I would leave. Before then I will like to ask Michael some questions,” Leonard’s face darkened. That incident really caused him a whole lot, he lost his friend and even forgot about his identity and if Michael was the cause of his losses, he wasn’t going to let this sli
