Jonah smirked and strode towards him “Like you said Mr Andrew, it’s my job to know everything about everyone. Piece of advice, maybe instead of worrying about how to trick me into working for you, you should really be looking within the affairs of your company. It seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”“What do you mean by that? Do you know something?” Andrew asked with a confused expression on his face Jonah sighed “A prideful man cannot be taught” After that he shook his head before saying, “You don’t even know this? Have you never wondered what your son was doing when he sold more than half of your company to those ‘foreign investors’?”“What foreign investors?” Andrew asked as he stared at Jonah with a blank expression on his faceEven though Andrew was the CEO of the company, he had never spent any real time studying and handling any of the legal documents of his material company at all. To him, he was more concerned about the money he made at every year-end, and as lon
As soon as he heard Jonah’s words, Andrew’s eyes widened in great shock. Did he just hear him correctly? Did he just say that Grindel Enterprise were the people buying our shares in his company?Still in shock, Andrew raised his gaze and asked agitatedly “What the hell are you talking about?” He found it hard to believe Jonah. Even though his son was a bastard, surely he wouldn’t sell the company to the man who had just sent him to the hospital. He couldn’t be that foolishJonah sighed and stood up. Staring at Andrew, he smiled before he replied nonchalantly “You heard me correctly Mr Andrew. As of this moment, Grindel Enterprise owns seventy percent of shares in your company, we’re technically your boss”The crowd remained silent as they fixed their eyes on Andrew. After kneeling and kissing Jonah’s feet, the man had whispered something into his ear and suddenly Andrew sprouted up with a look of bewilderment and anger on his face. They couldn’t help but wonder what was going on
The crowd could not help but cheer as they were all in awe of Jonah. He was such a skillful fighter, that anyone would have thought that he had learned how to fight professionally. However, Sasha on the other hand did not share the same mind of thought. She had known Jonah for a while now and never had she seen him train to fight or anything.She was dumbfounded and could barely recognize the man in front of her. Had he always been such a good fighter? Upon recovering her senses and regaining her composure, she looked at Jonah and asked in shock “Mr Smith, where did you learn to fight like that?”Jonah did not wish to reply, but when he turned his gaze towards her, he could feel the curious gazes from the crowd boring holes in the back of his head as they all wondered the same thing. Hence, he smiled before he replied nonchalantly “Well… Ms Ferr, I took some self-defense classes some years ago when I lived with the Smiths. I was always bored at home with nothing to do, so when the fam
Filled with anger as he stood up, Andrew prepared to rush towards Jonah and attack him immediately. He had already decided that this bastard would definitely pay the price for his actions today and die by his handsJust then, one of his men suddenly ran up to him and grabbed hold of his hand. Andrew still utterly embarrassed, yelled “Zain! Get out of my way! I’m going to kill him!” The crowd gasped and brought out their phones when they heard Andrew’s threat“Do you want to spend the rest of your life in prison?” Zain yelled as he glared at AndrewSeeing that the onlookers were now recording everything that was happening, Andrew composed himself and grimaced at Jonah who continued to walk away, unprovoked. After that, Zain walked toward Jonah with a humble expression on his face. And after taking a deep breath, he spoke respectfully “Mr Smith, I am really sorry about my chairman. It seems he has a hot trigger toward you and Grindel Enterprise and is incapable of behaving himself. I w
As they strode into the courtroom, Jonah noticed the judge on the panel, he could recognize him easily. This was his father’s old acquaintance, Marcus Garvey.Marcus became quite famous after he announced in an interview that he used to work for the Blake family before he became the city’s high court judge. However, he did not have any professional connection or personal relationship with the Blake family at all. Marcus was merely an acquaintance that his father had met once in the past, and by luck, he managed to secure a picture that he used to brag about and promote himself and his career.Jonah was not a big fan of Marcus. Moreover, the man had offended him when he was still the live-in son of the Smith family. But for the sake of getting the Ferr company legally handed over to Sasha, Jonah decided not to do anything.He continued to the front of the room when their case was called and sat down beside Jerry and Sasha. Jerry had a law degree, so stood as their lawyer during the pr
As she joined Jonah, she pleaded very pitifully, “Mr. Garvey, my father was too reckless when he was in charge, he abused our company funds and made some very bad deals only to fatten his stomach and make himself richer and more powerful. I only want a chance to clean up the mess he made, I assure you if you grant me this company, not only will I rewrite his mistakes but I will make sure that the good people of this city benefit from my reign. I am sorry if I offended or annoyed you in any way, please forgive me. But I’ve carefully analyzed the Grindel company and seen that they will be a good fit. I hope you can reconsider. The fate of the Ferr family is in your hands. Please help us”After saying that, Sasha turned and looked at Jonah who had a blank expression on his face. She could tell he didn’t share her sentiments. However, she still tried to push him to apologize again and consequently, Jonah heaved a sigh and asked politely “Please, may I take the stand?”Marcus shot him a
As soon as Jonah asked this, a bead of sweat trickled down Marcus’ forehead. This was because he knew everything Jonah was saying was true. However, he could not confront Jonah right here, or else he’d just be accepting that they were true. Instead, Marcus resorted to feigning ignorance “Well, Mr Garvey? Answer the question. How is it possible that a public servant like you barely making up to a million dollars a year can afford a necklace like this easily on your salary, especially as there’s been no records of you owning any business or belonging to any clubs that can acquire you such wealth”Marcus thought for a moment before replying “Mr Smith I think you’re taking the focus off the main purpose for this hearing today” he said trying to change the conversationHowever, Jonah was relentless and before Marcus could dismiss his questions, he quickly added: “I think the matter concerning Ms. Ferr’s account has already been settled, you’re going to sign the permit and transfer full le
The jury team immediately turned and frowned at Jonah. For a moment they almost believed him, but now that they thought about it, there was no way an esteemed judge could do what Jonah was suggesting - loot public funds.“Young man, do you know that defamation is a crime, especially when against a notary executive? How dare you speak loosely about Judge Marcus. Where did you get your audacity from?!” A man from the jury team snapped“Yes! We’d like to know the same. What gives you the authority to get up there and try to tear down the image of Judge Marcus, are you begging to be locked up?” A woman askedMarcus could not stop himself from scolding Jonah yet again “If you continue to spout nonsense, I will order the guards to put you in jail. Maybe a night or two there will knock some senses back into your head”Jonah kept quiet and then sighed as he took a few steps away from the stand. He could not believe that these people were so naive they were okay with being deceived, even when
