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
Soon, it was time for Leonard’s departure to Oklahoma. He and Diana had kept in touch with Max and Aquafina and they were all working together to bring Michael and his backer down.…Los Angeles International Airport.Shadrach, Catherine and Diana were all at the airport to see him off.“Momma, I already told you to stop crying. I’m not going away forever, I will be back soon before you know it,” Leonard said with a small smile, wiping his mother tears.Diana had surprise in her eyes. This was the first time she had seen Leonard been affectionate towards someone before. He was always cold and alone. It might be her last seeing him acting this way.“Son,” Shadrach called out. His voice was shaking but he was trying to be strong. His son came back home after so many years and now he was leaving them again. And no one was even certain of when he will be back. “Dad, don’t tell me you also want to cry as well,” Leonard teased. Shadrach laughed, wiping his eyes. “Seeing you leave again,
Wills Rogers World Airport, Oklahoma.The plane arrived at the airport and passengers streamed out. Leonard walked out the airport and spotted a black car waiting for him. A man dressed in black suit walked up towards him with a mysterious air excluding from him.“Welcome to Oklahoma city, Leonard. I’m Gabriel Pierce.”…The car drove through the city of Oklahoma with silence. Leonard stared at his phone and saw 5 missed calls from his parents and he couldn’t help but smile. Once, he’s done with this mission and he was sure that there were no impending danger; he will take them both out for a family vacation.He sighed deeply and tired.“I’m taking you to house we have prepared for you. I’ll come pick you up tomorrow evening for the party. Everything you will need to know about the family is in this flash drive,” Gabriel said, giving him a purse containing the drive.Leonard nodded, not seeing a word, feeling Gabriel’s eyes on hi. At this point, her still couldn’t let his guard down.
All the while Keith was on phone with Seth; Marilyn was attending to the reporters so no one took notice of him. Keith stared at her with disgust on his face. This time she truly went too far.He glanced at the board members who were staring at him and he sighed deeply. “My son will like to speak to his mother,” Keith announced.Marilyn looked at him with amazement as well as the reporters. “I thought he said he was never going to talk to me again.”“Well, if you know he said that, why did you put on this show? You are embarrassing his father publicly!” Keith fumed. “But I’m also his mother!”Keith ignored her words and stared at Seth on the phone. “Are you ready now, son?”Seth nodded. “I will do anything to kick that woman out of our lives.”Keith turned his phone screen in such a way that it would face the ground.“My name is Seth Donald and I am Keith’s son. That woman over there is not my mother.”Marilyn immediately went closer to Keith in an attempt to grab the phone but Keith
“Leo?” Keith called out, comporting him. “I wasn’t expecting to hear from you so soon.” “I apologize for not calling earlier.” “Leo, you don’t have to apologize to me for anything. I understand that you will be quite busy there,” Keith said with a smile.“I saw the news.” Keith went silent. In fact, it was everywhere. He had already contacted some media houses to pull it down or he would sue them. Not hearing a word from him, Leonard said, “You are a brave man, Keith. For coming out to face the public and protecting your son. My company is in good hands.”Keith went cold at the mention of the company. If all things don’t go as planned, e would lose his seat and who knows what action the board will take. If he loses the seat, Leonard would be removed as the chairman. No, he won’t let that happen.“Keith, is there anything wrong happening in the company? If you need my help do not hesitate to ask for it.”“Don’t worry Leonard. Everything is under control, we are just waiting for your r
