Immediately Jonah saw the headline trending on the internet, his phone suddenly chimed up with a message notificationHe opened an encrypted message from the unknown contact that read "I know who you are, and you're not safe Mr Smith"At first, he felt this was a prank but shortly after reading the text, another one came in"If you want to find out the truth about what happened to your parents, then come to this location young master",Jonah felt conflicted at that point. He was headed to his wife's family house to conclude their divorce, but when he received this message, he could not help but wonder who this person was and what they knewAfter a deep thought, he decided to dismiss the message as a prank. Right now, he was the most valuable person in the city and this could have easily been a trick to have him reveal himselfThere was no doubt that whoever this was knew of his identity, but how could he tell that they were on his side?Right at this moment, the car arrived at the Smi
George stepped forward angrily and swung his arm across to slap Jonah, but with a quick reflex, Jonah held his hand and glared at him"If you like your life, do not f*cking try that again!",The entire family immediately gasped in shock,"How dare you talk to me like that? Do you have a death wish?" George sneered and his brows furrowed tightly, painted with a layer of resentment and hatred"That's it. I've tolerated you long enough. Now you're just begging to sleep in jail and I'll make sure you get what you're asking for" he added and was about to retrieve his phone and call the police when Vic interjected swiftly"I have the district police officer's contact. He owes my uncle a lot of favors, let me call him. This pompous brat would be thrown into jail" Vic said and without any hesitation, retrieved his phone and called the director of the Police DistrictVic was dumbfounded by the sudden displays of confidence from Jonah, but as the poor son-in-law had embarrassed him earlier, he
Everyone in the hall gasped when they heard Ava say that she'd sign the divorce papersCaitly snorted in annoyance, "What the hell do you mean?", she asked and turned her face towards her sister, and a hint of irony flashed across Caitly's face"He almost killed me!" She exclaimed At this point, Ava had had enough of their lies. The truth was that she suspected that Jonah couldn't have molested her sister. She had realized after her encounter with Janet, partly because she felt threatened by the girlShe said with a gloomy face "I'll sign the papers","Enough with the lies Caitly! I know the truth, even though it is now too late. I know that Jonah never molested you, he never could, I was stupid not to see that earlier, but if this is what he wants to be happy, then I'll sign the papers" As her voice erupted painfully in the hall, the entire family members remained quiet, taken by shock. They all despised Jonah and felt he was an embarrassment to them, but when Ava spoke up for him,
Just as he rejected the call, the number called again swiftly, however this time Jonah sighed in irritation and returned to the phone in his pocketHe opened the door to the car and entered. The can driver immediately turned on the engine and drove away. For a few minutes, after they left the Smith mansion, the taxi driver kept staring at him curiouslyThe more he gave it some thought now, the more Jonah started to resemble the mysterious man on the internet. Although the video showed no view of the mysterious man's face, the driver was still not convincedJonah frowned when he noticed the man's deep gaze at him and cleared his throat awkwardly "I think you should focus on the road", he reminded the man calmlyThe driver smiled awkwardly and apologized "I'm sorry sir",Right at this moment, Jonah's phone suddenly rang again. Without glancing at the screen, Jonah could tell who the caller was. He hunkered in the backseat of the car groaned lightly in frustration and ignored the call a
The whistling night breeze blew past Henry's face as Jonah moved closer to him. Staring at his face, Henry was without a doubt that this was the right person. Finally, he regained his composure and said "My name is Henry Boyd","I'm your father's accountant and a good friend of his. I know why he disappeared and I know that the people that took him are currently looking for you.You have no reason to trust me Master Blake, but I am only here to help you", Henry said with concern Jonah didn't say a word. Instead, he shot Henry a scrutinizing gaze, then asked "How do I know you really worked for my father?",A small smile stretched Henry's lips, as he reached his hand into his suit pocket and brought out a small seal. Engraved on it was the image of a falconAs soon as Jonah saw this, his eyes widened in disbelief. This was their family seal, and it only confirmed that Henry was telling the truth. However, the seal was only given to members of the family, which meant that Henry might h
Henry wore a faint smile on his lips and then started "Mr Blake, your father's disappearance was no accident. It was a well-organized plot made by some members of your family.Grindel Enterprise shares skyrocketed a few months before he disappeared, amassing more than 50 billion dollars in a few weeks. This increased the company's net revenue just as it did their envyAfter your grandfather passed, the company was passed to your father, who grew it into what it is now. Most people did not like his success, they felt it was undeserved, so some companies collaborated on different projects, formed alliances, and spread some rumors all in attempts to ruin the company's image, and soon company's secrets started to leakIt started with the Rucki account, costing the company a loss of 20 billion in revenue. At that point, your father sent me to find out who was leaking the company's private accounts and information to his business competitorsWe knew it was an inside job, so secretly, I star
"You will regret ever crossing paths with me!" Vic yelled immediately following behind Morraine into the room"Are you insane? Who gave you the authority to go and badmouth me in front of my uncle and cost me my position in the family!" Vic sneered at JonahMorraine felt elated. Vic had proved himself exactly the type of son-in-law she wanted. She wore a wide smile on her lips and watched as Vic rained down abuses on Jonah, reminding him that he's beneath them. Her eyes as she looked at Vic were nothing but satisfied and proud. Jonah replied flatly "Why are you in my house?","Are you deaf?! Did you not hear her say we want the house deeds?! Do you want a beating?" With an ambiguous smile on his face, Jonah said "It's my house Mr. Francis and I do not have any intentions to relinquish it","You're a proud bastard Jonah, and I will make sure I lower you to where you belong",Jonah shook his head and looked at Vic as if he was looking at a clown. However, Vic felt very great about hi
Henry Hoyd pointed at the miserable woman and asked Jonah, "Does this woman bother you?"Vic felt a little off the hook considering that Henry did not turn his wrath on him. He thought by pretentious flattery that the man would have pity on Morraine and so changed the tone of his voice and pleaded respectfully"Mr. Boyd, please forgive her, she doesn't know who you are" Vic feared what Henry would do if he were aggravated. As the man looked at her in disgust, a chill ran down Vic's spine.Jonah on the other hand was watching the scene unfold with a strange satisfaction. He knew that if these thugs were really connected with the underground world, they'd know not to mess with any member of a high-profile family, and by possession of the seal Henry was a member of the Blake family.They wouldn't dare to attack him. Finally, the odds were in his favor and he could command Henry to have the thugs beat them.He didn't want to intervene. His ex-mother-in-law had always been snobbish and po
