Vic froze in extreme shock. At first, he assumed that the man was bluffing, however judging from the serious look on his face, he couldn't help but wonderHence, he stared at Kent for some time and then asked again "Jonah Smith is your nephew?",Kent sneered sarcastically "Smith. I would admit he did a pretty good job at fooling everybody" and then his expression suddenly changed "His real name is Jonah Blake. He's the only child of his parents and an impostor who has stolen my natural right",Vic shot dagger eyes at Kent and said coldly "How do I know you're telling the truth about who Jonah really is"Kent sighed in irritation and said "Why would I lie about a pure loser like that being the heir of the Blake fortune",Then immediately, he continued "Mr...","Vic" "Vic Francis", Vic answered swiftlyUpon hearing Vic's name, Kent was intrigued and asked quickly"You're from the Francis family?", Vic nodded in response "I've heard of you guys, your uncle's company is quite a famous
Meanwhile, Sasha was packing up her desk a little late that evening when suddenly her phone rang. She searched hurriedly for it amongst the stack of paperwork she had spread on her table, all in connection to her father's upcoming court case, then upon finding the phone, quickly glanced at the screen and saw that it was Justin and felt a sharp reliefIt had been a few days since she sent him to trace Jonah Smith and had not yet gotten any feedback from himAfter a few rings, she picked up the phone and said "Hello?""Have you found anything?",The voice on the other end sounded coarse and different with an underlying layer of hubris "I'm at the building, I'm coming up to your office"Surprised to find out that he was at her building, Sasha was curious to know what happened. Their partnership was to be made a secret exclusively. They had agreed not to meet until Justin had found enough credible information on Jonah she could use to her advantage and get her father out of jail and clea
Upon reaching the thirteenth floor, Jonah stepped out of the elevator and walked towards Sasha's office. At this time, Sasha was scrolling through her contact list to find a lawyer who could defend her father in court. Earlier that day, she had received a court order to appear for her father's trial. However, despite knowing the chances of winning a court case against the Blakes especially with the records of fraud and corruption her father was involved in, Sasha still felt there was a chance she could get his prison sentence reduced if she could find the right lawyerBut so far, as she scrolled through the contact list, the only lawyer she found capable of defending her father in court was Max Peyfield. At this time, she covered her phone and groaned in frustration. According to what she had learned Max Peyfield had recently left his firm and with no surprise was now the official lawyer of the Blake familyThis was just getting increasingly difficultJust then, she was startled by
Looking back at his time with Sasha, he hadn't been able to have any physical intimacy with such a perfect beauty. He dedicated their entire relationship to trying to get intimate with her with no luckToday was the day for him to break the restricted chains of fateYes!He wanted a taste of Sasha! SHe wanted to jump on the gorgeous Queen that all the men in the city were crazy aboutGawking at her with deep seductive eyes as he stealthily slid a container into his pocket and strode towards the wine cellarAs this thought ran through his mind, he pasted a smile, turned towards Sasha, and started again "I want to help Sasha. I want to help you with your father's case",Sasha almost bought into his charity act, when she suddenly shook her head and frowned in disgust upon remembering that Justin had never done anything out of his sheer goodnessWhat was he up to this time? She pondered However, a part of her was intrigued and so she let down her guard partially and asked with curiosity
As Sasha tapped on Jonah's contact, she subconsciously speed-dialled him and started recording as she spoke "Justin, I feel a little dizzy, is there something wrong with the wine?",Justin chuckled and said with a straight face "No, I don't think so. I feel pretty much fine, this wine is quite strong, which probably is what you're feeling. It's a twenty thousand dollar bottle of wine Sasha, I don't think we should waste it. Would you like another glass?",Still struggling with her consciousness, Sasha replied "No, no. I don't think I want to. Maybe the wine had a bad reaction with my stomach because I'm not feeling quite well right now, I should probably go home and rest it out",Upon hearing this, Justin knew that the effect of the drug had completely taken over Sasha and a sly and cunning grin appeared on his face. He was sitting on the office chair opposite her, but by this time he stood up and turned toward herLooking at the nervous and restless Sasha, he smiled and said "Sha I m
Immediately after saying that, Jonah ended the call and drove furiously to the company. Laura's Offices and Enterprise was a large building where most offices were rentals given to foreign executives who were just in the country for business purposesUnlike at Grindel Enterprise, Jonah had no authority here. He was just a regular day Joe with no prominent statue, as such when he arrived at the building, he hurried towards the front door and tried to enterHowever, he was denied entry by the security guards in front"You can't go in there sir, it's well past office hours. If you have any business to conduct here, you're going to have to come back the next day" the security guard Mark Grayson said blocking the entranceJonah creased his eyebrows and furrowed at him "I don't have time for this bullshit. A girl is in danger in there, I need to get to her", he replied swiftly and tried to barge through the officers againAt this time, the officers retrieved their tasers and aimed at him "S
He then patted her back to offer some comfort and said "Don't worry, I'll make him pay for what he did to you",In order to help her mind not fracture from the trauma, he generated a pool of his Chi energy in his palm and transferred it into her body, making her fall asleep deeplyJonah carried Sasha and gently put her on the sofa and then turned back towards Justin, who at this time was still struggling to get on his feetJust then, a group of men all wearing black barged in through the door and surrounded them immediately. Justin trembled in great fear when he saw them and hurriedly pointed at the guards, "Save me. These guys are trying to kill me, I didn't do anything",Shortly as the men surrounded them, Jonah strode towards them slowly. He could not recognize any of these men. Upon a close look and seeing the skull tattoo on one of them, he knew for certain these were not Henry Boyd's menThere was only one mob in the whole of Eldredge that owned that symbol, and immediately he s
Just as Laura's bodyguards pointed their weapons at Henry Boyd and his goons, she blurted again "Who are you people and what is your business here? This is a privately owned building and I assure you gentlemen you do not want to pick a fight you can't win",At this time, Jonah stepped forward and said with an impassive look "Tell your men to lower their weapons, Miss Laura. Anyone who gets in my way would be treated as an enemy. Now, take your men, leave this room, and allow me to settle my business with Justin over here",Laura remained quiet for a long time and then suddenly burst out laughing "Oh my, you Smiths are usually so delusional, it's funny. How dare you think that you can command me?" Then, sure enough, a layer of dark gloom hovered under her eyes "Look around you. Do you think you're in control here? I should warn you, under the state laws I can order my men to shoot you for trespassing, so know your place Jonah Smith or I'll show it to you", Laura said coldlyAfter that
