CHRIS WESTMINSTER, THE HEIR OF THE WESTMINSTER FAMILY HAS CONFIRMED THAT HE WAS SHOT AT DURING THE RICE FAMILY EVENT.

HE CLAIMED THAT A RICE FAMILY MEMBER SAVED HIM. HOWEVER, THIS PERSON IS STILL UNKNOWN.

THE COPS HAVE INVADED THE RICE FAMILY MANSION, LOOKING FOR LEADS. ILLEGAL FIREARMS WERE SAID TO HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF GUARDS.

Chris sat behind his office desk, watching the news with a smile on his face. Things were slowly unfolding and even though he didn't know how things were going to end, he was thrilled.

He wondered whether the Rice family patriarch would show himself to him or if he still had to shake things up.

At the same time, his phone started to ring and in one swoop, he took it up to see it was Baron calling.

Chris let out a sigh, as Baron was the last person he wanted to speak to but then he had to.

“Hello, Chris speaking.” He connected the call as he finished speaking, Baron suddenly laughed out loud.

Chris went silent, angry but he toned his emo

    Baron sat there, in shock at the words Chris had spouted toward him. He thought he had Chris in a chokehold but it didn't seem so. So, he held onto the sides of the table, his knuckles turning white because of how angry he was. His cockiness disappeared with the wind and he returned to his stoic and calculative self. “Are you going back on our deal, Chris Westminster?” He asked. “We never had a deal, did we?” Chris smiled, as he witnessed every of Baron’s switch in emotions. Now that he had control over the situation, he felt like the true son of the Westminster family. “You…” Baron stared at Chris with a glare, his teeth gritted against each other. “Since we never had a deal, Baron Rice, I think my time here is up.” Chris stood up, his stance domineering which caused Baron to frown even more. He had underestimated Chris for real. “If you need to discuss business with me again, then you can reach out to my assistant. He will convey your messages to me.” As soon as Chris finishe

    Hours had passed and Chris finally arrived at the Westminster mansion with a serious gaze. Rico Axe who had been bouncing around because Chris finally put Baron in his place led Chris to the back of the mansion where Ren, Mia, and Ria were kept. “Have you briefed them on what they are to do?” Chris asked. “Yes, sure,” Rico answered. They reached the spot and it was a small house with three different bedrooms. It had all the necessities and even though it was separated from the mansion, it was cozy.Swiftly, the door to the living area was opened and Ria, Mia, and Ren had been assembled. As soon as they saw Chris, they stood up. Whereas, Ren and Ria had a blank look on their faces. They had long accepted their fate with Chris knowing they had actually done Chris a lot of harm however, Mia was still in the denial phase. Mia had on a messy face with eyes puffy from crying, “Chris…” She whispered, at the back of her mind, she hoped Chris had come to save her. She still thought Chris

    “Have you seen the news?” Rico Axe rushed into Chris’ study room with an anxious gaze. “Those bastards took it a notch higher than I expected. They even claimed that we ruined their family business!”“I want to slit their throat so bad!” Axe was so annoyed that he couldn't do anything. Back at the mafia base, it was so easy to get rid of people like that. But then they had to tread with caution here. “Calm down, Axe. We have everything under control, I guess.” Chris shrugged with a nonchalant expression. After he listened to the news once, he refused to listen to it again. Even though he wasn't guilty of anything they said, he still couldn't stomach the insults and might do something drastic. “Have you gotten the confessions from them all?” Chris asked. “Yes. Ren’s confession was especially shocking…” Rico Axe said, looking at Chris with a sympathetic expression. “Those people really wanted to wreck you. Thank God we planned for this ahead otherwise, Baron is going to wreck you.”“

    “Boss, Baron has been announced as the CEO. He took a jab at us and since then, our stocks and shares plummeted. Shareholders and even employees are now jumping ships.” Rico Axe said worriedly. He wanted Chris to take action immediately but Chris was so laid back like there wasn't fire on the mountain. “What do we do?” Rico Axe asked. “Release the confessions…” Chris instructed, knowing it was time. “Right away.” Rico nodded. They had everything in place and he would even do a live broadcast to prove Chris’ innocence. However, on the other hand, Chris knew it wasn't enough. He still needed to link everything to Baron, and the Rice family. But then, it wasn't a problem, so he quickly stopped Rico Axe. “Take my phone and copy every single detail of my conversation with Baron. Show the world how he threatened me. We shouldn't let him last a day on the CEO seat, should we?” Chris grinned wickedly. At those words, Rico Axe was even more pumped to do his job and he quickly took over

He had not been home for days because he had not been able to pay the 36 million dollar bill that was thrown in his face by Chris. Seeing his name and face plastered all over the news on his phone, gave him fear and anxiety. He couldn't even face his parents before now and now this?“That video…” He muttered, his gaze darkening. He recalled that Ren had taken a video that night and still told him the video was deleted. But there it was! On th

He knew Baron and Gerald must be fuming wherever they were now and he wondered what Gerald would do to punish Baron. “Do you have Baron’s location?” He asked, a thought brewing in his mind.“Yes, I do. I had people monitor the Rice family mansion last night and I was informed of Baron being dragged out. He is currently being held at an underground cell…” Rico Axe explained. Chris nodded, impressed by his attention to things. “Why don’t we give Baron a little visit?” Chris asked. “What do you mean?” Rico Axe perked up, feeling like trouble was brewing in Chris’ mind.“Get

    Chris and Jones Westminster reached the company building and as expected, several reporters were stationed outside, wanting to speak to Chris. After the truth was revealed, there were many netizens bashing the police and also reporters who failed to dig out the truth. The netizens were raving about Chris’ handsomeness and how calm he was during the whole situation. On the other hand, Jones was smiling ear-to-ear, happy that he had such a capable son. As soon as Chris got out of the car, the reporters crowded around him, asking several questions. “How do you feel about winning this batter, Chris Westminster?” A reporter asked. “There is no specific feeling…” Chris shook his head. “I have always been innocent and no matter the words that were said against me online, I knew the truth would always prevail.” “We would love to know if the Rice family specifically targeted you this time.

However, the first he wanted to do before planning on his new task was to see the Rice family patriarch and he had just the right idea for that. “Chris, are you listening?” A shareholder asked, irritated by Chris’ absent-mindedness “What?” Chris raised his brows. “What do you mean what? We are all in this mess because of you!” The shareholder banged his fist on the table, startling everyone there. “What did I do?” Chris shrugged with a nonchalant expression. “If it’s not because of your private situation which you didn't handle well, some of us wouldn't have to sell ohr shares so hurriedly!” The shareholder continued brazenly while the other people around looked at him in astonishment, not expecting those words. “Now, we do not know who bought off the shares dirt cheap!

    “How did it go?” Chris asked as he scrolled through a few documents on his phone. He was particularly concerned about how Mars had reacted to the order he gave. “We have nothing from him. After he left the meeting room, he disappeared.” Rico Axe said. “He just disappeared?” Chris raised a brow in question. “Yes!” Rico nodded. “Can you find more information on him? Something about him just ticks me off. His sudden appearance is suspicious.” Chris demanded, his gaze turning dim in thought. “Alright. I will do that.” Rico nodded. “Also, the police have requested your presence.” “Why?” Chris frowned. “Reid is yet to be found and they are asking if you can give them any information. They need you in for questioning tomorrow.”“Hmm…” Chris frowned, feeling like something was off. He didn't think Reid had the resources to hide so well but. He could decide to mobilize his men to look for Reid but it could interfere with the police work. However, on his end, Reid was a ticking time bom

  • Mars’ Dilemma

    Mars stared at Walker Rice, hoping he would do something and say something on his behalf but that didn't happen. Walked joined Rico Axe in staring at him, waiting for him to leave. On the other hand, Mars knew he couldn't just leave, or else he would be in a lot of trouble. “Can you tell me why?” He asked Rico, trying to stay calm. “I can’t say, Mr. Mars. My job is to receive direct orders from my boss.” Rico shook his head, nonchalantly. Finally, his last resort, Mars looked at Walker, “Boss, do something.”Walker closed his eyes, torn between speaking up for Mars and just continuing the meeting. There was a lot at stake and he couldn't afford to offend Chris. So he said, “Maybe you should think about what you did. Chris wouldn't just do a thing like this. While you are out, reflect on your actions.”Mars was taken aback. He begged for the deal to be reinstated and a while ago, Walker was commending him and now, he was being treated like someone who had done wrong. In that mome

  • See Your Assistant Out

    Chris was right in the car, staring curiously at Mars who kept banging his head on the hard floor. Even though he was dripping with blood down his head, Mars didn't stop. Also, Chris observed that his skin tore way too easily. He wasn't concerned about the self-harming Mars but he was incredibly curious. It seemed Mars was unpredictable. And as he looked out of the windscreen, with the lights shining on Mars’ face, it was as if Mars was looking back at him, with an eerie smile. Even though he was obviously in pain, Mars was smiling. But the most disturbing thing was that the car windows were tinted and there was no way Mars knew Chris was looking at him. He was just staring. Second by second, he looked even more unpredictable to Chris and irked him so much. If Chris wanted to, he could drive off and leave him to continue self-harming but he didn't do that. He stepped out of the car, his hands in his pockets as he approached Mars. “Do you want to die here?” Chris spoke up, standi

    Rice Walker stormed out of the high-end restaurant with blazing anger. He went straight to the parking lot where Mars was already waiting by the car and without stopping, he stormed toward the assistant. Pak!“Are you out of your fucking mind?” Walker yelled. “Who do you think you are to ruin a billion-dollar deal like that?”“Can your whole existence ever pay for it?” Walker snarled, his eyes twitching because he was feeling extreme anger. He wanted to raise his hand at Mars again but he held back, breathing heavily. “I am sorry.” Mars bowed his head slightly. “I didn't know what came over me. I misspoke.”“I don’t care if you misspoke! The only reason why you are here today is because my father asked me to take you along as my assistant!” “If he realizes you are trying to ruin this deal, he is going to do the unimaginable to you, do you understand?” Walker hinted at what could happen. His father was banking on this deal as well and a mere assistant couldn't just ruin it. “I am

  • Mars’ Extreme Reaction

    The office went completely silent, as Chris looked straight at Mars. At the same time, Walker looked nervous and quickly sat up.“Don’t worry, Chris. I will do it. Mars here has an issue with talking and he won't be able to do it.” Walker rushed to get the proposal documents they had prepared. “Is that so?” Chris asked, looking at Mars intently and Mars never for once took his eyes off Chris too. It was like they had a staring contest which ticked Chris off the wrong way. “Hey, Mars!” Walker called, interrupting the staring competition. “Come help me.”Mars nodded before standing up and Chris was finally able to concentrate. However, through the proposal meeting, Mars was all quiet, silently giving everything Walker needed. And by the end of everything, he looked like a zombie, just moving around and being told what to do. Even though it wasn't an abnormal situation, Chris found it odd. “So, what do you think?” Walker asked, his eyes glistening with expectations. “It’s good. I wi

    Five days later…Chris sat at his desk, right in the CEO’s office, however, he was staring into space. Too much time had passed and Baron was still being held in custody and the police was still looking for him. He had expected Gerald to reach out to him by now but nothing was happening. “Boss…” Rico Axe walked in, with a serious expression. “Is there any news from the Rice family?” He asked. “No.” Rico shook his head. “However, there is another important news.” Immediately, Chris perked up, raising his brows in question. “Mike was arrested after the evidence that was released but Reid is still nowhere to be found. His last location was a warehouse but we still cannot find him yet.” Rico Axe explained, looking a bit worried. “Really?” Chris raises his brows again. He had almost forgotten that people like Mike and Reid existed because he thought he was done with that chapter. He now recalled that Reid was supposed to pay him 36 million dollars because of the car he wrecked. “Did

  • Destroy Him!

    “Master?” Reid scoffed, even though he was weak. He felt the masked man’s words before him were laughable and he struggled to sit up on the chair while still tied. He wiped the side of his face where blood was and continued to speak “Who still does master and servant in this day and age? You may be a minion to someone, but it doesn't mean–”Pak!That slap came unexpectedly and it swept Reid off the chair again. This time, the rope used to tie him broke and he became free. However, before he could even begin to escape, Gerald stepped forward. He had a rod in hand and in the next second, he swung it straight at his head. “Ahhh…” Reid gasped, his body shook in pain and he held his head. “You…” He couldn't speak anymore because as the second passed by, Gerald continued to hit him. Bang!Bang!!Continuous beatings resounded in the room and soon, Reid lay on the floor, almost lifeless. His body was bloodied and his eyes were dizzy. At that moment, Gerald took off his mask but Reid co

  • Your New Master And Lord

    In the Rice family mansion…Chase was pacing up and down before the patriarch's study room and his gaze was filled with turmoil. He had no way of breaking the news to Gerald that something had gone wrong with Baron. The patriarch had given him a chance to live and prove himself before and now, he was afraid he was going to be gunned down immediately. “If you keep pacing out there, I will think you are hiding something from me, Chase.” Gerald’s voice rang out in the corridor and his head snapped up to look at the camera which was above the door. The patriarch could see every one of his movements and now, he realized he had no choice but to go in. And when he did, he walked carefully toward the partition in the study and he had to close his eyes in preparation for whatever he was going to see behind the partition. “My lord…” Chase went in with a bow and slowly looked up at Gerald. However, he was quick to look down again because the patriarch’s face looked unsightly, like dead skin

  • The Shareholders Saga

    “Is there anyone else who wants to join him?” Chris’ voice boomed through the meeting room and his eyes zeroed in on the other shareholders who had lost their shares. They all went quiet, afraid that Chris was going to throw them out. “Good.” Chris nodded, in satisfaction, seeing that none of them dared to speak up again. “Now, let’s begin.” “Can we start, father?” He asked. “Yes.” Jones perked up immediately. He looked at them all with a serious gaze, “Your bad planning of selling the shares is not my son’s fault.”“However, we are working on finding who the unknown buyer is.” Jones tried to calm their minds. “If you find this buyer, Chairman, are we going to get our shares back? We made mistakes and we want to retrace our steps.” Some of them asked, anxious that they may never get the chance to sit at that meeting anymore. “We have to know who bought it.” They declared! Chris sat there, watching the commotion. If he should reveal that he bought it, he couldn't decipher how ex
