Rise Of The World's Overlord 142. Get Out!
With just a few hours left before the press conference where a new item would be unveiled to the public, Granny Elena was reading through the press release that her chief of staff had expertly written. Suddenly, her door flung open and she raised her head. With a look of worry on his face, Vincent, her chief of staff hurriedly turned on the TV. The footage was being displayed at the moment and at the same time the broadcaster was speaking about it. Granny Elena turned off the TV and then tossed the remote she was holding to the side. Pushing her hand into her hair she began to pace around trying to get the thought off her mind. “Ma'am you need to do something otherwise, a lot of things would definitely go wrong.”“Call the broadcasting station and ask them to take this down.” “It's too late. To the best of my knowledge, the story has been shared to other stations and articles are already being released on it. We can't put a hold on the world and…” Vincent couldn't get to finish w

Immediately when Naya heard the news, she had to turn on the TV to confirm for herself. “And he was feigning all along. I can't believe he would do something like this and will try to cover it up.” She groaned, her eyes stinging with tears. After searching for Liam's contact, she wanted to dial it and apologize on behalf of her family but she was ashamed. Sam, suspecting she would be up to something, was quick to locate her office and once he was inside, he shut the door to ensure privacy. “Don't tell me you have no idea about this.” Naya yelled, wielding her fist in front of him. “Have you lost it? If you have a problem, you should direct it to the right quarters.” He huffed. “Why are you here then? The last time I checked, we haven't spoken in almost a month.” “I have been busy.” “And right now I'm busy, please leave.” She pulled the door open, gesturing for him to leave. Sam wasn't expecting her to act this way and he didn't bother hiding his surprise. The Naya he once kne

With anger surging through him, Nathan grabbed his phone off the table, ignoring his father and uncle who were trying to stop him, he continued to stomp towards the exit. “If anything happens to my son, I won't forgive you.” Harry yelled, clenching his fist in anger. He knew fully well that Granny Elena wasn't going to go back on her words. Once she made a pronouncement, it was final. “Grandma, you can't hand Nathan over to the prosecution, he will be behind bars for a minimum of three years… granny, you need to reconsider your decision.” Sam said, hoping she would scumble to his pleas. “The company is at stake here and I won't sit back and watch what I had worked so hard for to go into the wind.” She said with an air of finality. At the end of the meeting, Naya in company of Liam and Nelson returned home to meet with Rose who had been pacing around the living room. Immediately they walked in, she plopped on the couch and then exhaled in relief. “I was thinking you guys won't c
Rise Of The World's Overlord 145. I'm no longer the CEO.
A few weeks later…Liam had just gotten out of his car and was heading towards the electric barricade with his ID card in hand to gain entrance. He placed his card on the sensor but instead of the barricade to slide open, it didn't. Wiping his card against his pants, he repeated his action, but nothing changed. Wondering what was going on, he placed a call to Mr. Jones but before he could pick up, a security personnel walked up to him. “I can't gain entrance.” He said, frustration evident in his voice. “There was a company reshuffling, I guess you have no idea about it.” “What are you talking about?” There was a look of frustration mixed with anger on his face. After the drama that broke out, he was granted his long awaited leave for three weeks and now he was back. Even if something of this sort happened, he was supposed to be informed to avoid situations like this. Fortunately for him, while he was still speaking with the security personnel, Mr. Jones came around. “Welcome
Rise Of The World's Overlord 146. A background research.
After speaking to his mother who had summoned him home, Liam hurried towards the garage where Dave always waited for him. “I heard about the reshuffling, are you alright?” Dave asked immediately Liam slide into the car. “Uhm… I'm good.” “Alaric can be so petty. I wonder why he was given the chance to be the acting CEO. Maybe to pacify him…” he huffed, chuckling the next minute. After typing his address on the screen, Liam fell back on his seat, shutting his eyes tightly. The only thing on his mind at that moment was what his mother wanted to talk about. He was so curious that he couldn't keep still even for a minute, he kept on adjusting and readjusting on his seat while Dave observed him from the rear mirror occasionally. On arrival, Dave turned around to inform Liam who in turn stepped out of the car. Since he was being expected, his mother's men were already outside to usher him in. Madam Aurelia was in the living room waiting for his arrival and immediately he stepped in,
Rise Of The World's Overlord 147. "I have a favor to ask of you"
Chapter 147Placing the last plate of food on the table, Nelson pulled his chair out and then plopped on it. “Where is Dave, isn't he joining us for breakfast? He asked, looking over his shoulder. “Liam will have to sweet talk him as usual, otherwise, he wouldn't show up.” Rose said, stuffing her mouth with some salad. When Liam and Naya joined them moments later with Dave, they dug into their meal, a total silence on the table. Yet to finish her food, Naya pushed her chair backwards and after emptying her glass of water down her throat, she hurriedly grabbed her bag. “I'm heading out now.” She called out, hurrying towards the exit. “Have a nice day.” Liam called after her. She was already outside the house then. This had been the practice for a month now. Since Nathan had to vacate his position to serve a prison term, she replaced him in his position as the head of the accounting department. Being an integral part of the company, her attention was always needed and also in
Rise Of The World's Overlord 148. A legal team...
Rolling her eyes, Naya fell back on her seat. “He is also your brother so you don't have to treat him like he is a nobody.” Sam pressed on. He had asked her to speak to Liam on his behalf so they could procure a release for him. “I'm not mistreating him, if only he had known when to stop, he wouldn't have been in this mess.” She huffed. “It is his cross so he should carry it.” She added, sucking her teeth. Sam on the other hand was seething with anger. He kept on clenching and unclenching his fists under the table, staring at her with anger and hatred surging through him. “Naya, you have to help us. If no action is taken, Nathan will end up rotting in prison. The legal team just needs his consent so they could start scouting for his release. All we need right now is a word from your husband, nothing more.” “And what makes you think he is in a position to help? The prosecution of the country took up the matter and he isn't in the ministry of justice…” Sam didn't allow her to fini

“What do you want?” Sandra asked, her voice shaking. “When are you going to send the remaining money?” Lily yelled into the speaker. “I will send it before the week runs out. Please be patient with my family, please.” She cried, grasping the edge of the table. After the half an hour call with Lily in which she had begged all through, Naya couldn't help but feel pity towards her and at the same time wonder what the issue was. “Here,” She pushed her hanky towards her and when she didn't take it from her, she walked around the table. Helping her up, she led her towards the couch, “Please talk to me, what is the issue?” She asked, her voice shaking. “Lily is terrorizing me and my family. She had exploited my brother's disability to her advantage and…” She burped again. “She is trying to rip us off of all our hard work.” She cried. “That wouldn't happen.” Naya said, trying to comfort her as she rubbed soothing circles on her back. “It’s already happening and if she decides to hit u
