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
Upon realizing that Jonah was right all along and Marcus was nothing but a crook who had dwindled his way and fooled all of them into being the judge of Eldredge City. The council decided that they had to revoke his status and immediately Jonah and Sasha walked out with the signed legal permit, they collectively wrote a letter to the city council petitioning the immediate removal of Marcus Garvey from officeThe news swept Eldredge like a typhoon and in moments, everyone was talking about the corrupt judge who had lied his way into office. However, Sasha on the other hand did not care about the buzz. She was more concerned about how Jonah knew all the things he did. At that point, she realized that if there was anyone to hold information about the president of Grindel Enterprise, it would be no one else than JonahAs they walked out the hall, she rushed toward him and grabbed his hand forcefully “How did you know all those things about Marcus?”Jonah put on a smug look and said weak
Meanwhile, after escaping the prison transport, Justin hurried to a little cabin he found in the woods to lay low for a minute. Upon realizing that none of the guards had followed him, he sank to the bottom of the hardwood floor and sighed in relief. Immediately, he started to breathe frantically. Justin had no idea what had happened earlier or how it was possible that he could even possess such powers. As he tried to trace his memories, it suddenly occurred to him. This all started after he encountered that man at the alley. What did he do to him? He wondered. But just as quickly as he pondered, his mind shifted towards Sasha. He had nearly gone to prison because of that bitch, he could never forgive her. And if she had hired him to trace Jonah, then why did he save her? Justin felt like he was hit in the head, his brain was filled with nothing but jealousy at that point. He couldn’t even touch Sasha’s hands but that lowly punk Jonah came out of nowhere and wrapped her in his
Sasha was a little dispirited after ending the call. She heaved a heavy sigh, collected herself, and turned back towards Jonah.When Jonah saw her inexpressive expression, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly approached her and asked out of concern “What’s wrong? Who was that on the phone?”Sasha hesitated at first. She feared that if Jonah got involved again with Justin’s case, it would only be a matter of time before he figured out that she was the one who hired Justin to trail him in the first place. Hence, she ignored his questions and tried to move past him, when suddenly Jonah grabbed her bicep and swung her around “Who was that on the phone Sasha?” He asked more authoritatively now. Ever since he learned that Sasha was attacked, Jonah couldn’t help but feel overprotective of her. Seeing that Jonah was not going to relent with his questions, Sasha lowered her gaze and said weakly “That was Justin. He’s escaped”When Jonah heard this, a deep furious frown creased his brow
