Chapter 111Owen stood in the doorway, his eyes widening in shock as Mr. Richard entered the room, flanked by Hayden. His mind reeled with a whirlwind of emotions as he tried to process the unexpected arrival of his uncle."I wasn't expecting any of you" he muttered and noticed Hayden smiling, he followed his gaze and saw him looking at Maya, he wondered if he was one of the reasons Mays was here today, but he decided to save the question for another day since his uncle was here."Uncle Richard" he acknowledged and Mr Richard smiled faintly, "please sit, do you want me to offer you anything?""Bo I am fine, thank you. I know it must be shocking to see me in your home since I have never visited before. Hayden had told me everything that has been happening and I think it's fine for me to step forward, I can't keep on staying back and watch Reynold continue doing what doesn't make sense," Mr. Richard replied and Owen tilted his head to look at Hayden who quickly stepped forward and waste
Chapter 112Everyone’s attention turned on the lawyer, it was obvious no one had expected to see him in the midst of the crowd, Mr Reynold gritted his teeth as he watched him speak. the lawyer stood before the assembled family members, his voice carried with it a sense of authority and gravitas. "Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his tone measured and composed, "I have been tasked with reviewing the will of Mr. Rowland, the late patriarch of the family."A murmur of anticipation rippled through the room as the family members leaned in, eager to hear what the lawyer had to say. Owen's heart raced with anticipation as he waited for what the lawyer was going to say, he knew that his words his going to shake the family, especially Mr Reynold. "As it turns out," the lawyer continued, his gaze sweeping over the attentive faces before him, "the will presented by Mr. Reynold is not the original document. Certain clauses have been added or omitted, leading to discrepancies in its contents."Th
Chapter 113“Why do you think he is calling you?”Hayden asked and Mr Richard shrugged “I don’t know why he had decided to call but I am sure it had to do with the meeting and the sudden lawyer's appearance, no one should talk. I am going to answer this call” he replied. Hayden and Owen nodded and they watched him pick the call. Mr. Richard answered the call from Mr. Reynold, and a sense of foreboding settled over him like a heavy cloak. He knew that confronting Mr. Reynold would be no easy task, but he steeled himself for the inevitable showdown “You have called me brother” he muttered over the phone “Yes, I did. I want you to come to my office right away, we have something important to discuss” Mr. Reynold replied and Mr. Richard squeezed his eyes shut, he didn’t want to go and meet him but at the same time he didn’t have a choice and decided to go and meet him. “I will be there soon, give me some time” he replied and the call came to an end, he placed the phone in his pocket “S
Mr. Reynold sat in his room he felt agitated as he was busy tapping his leg on the floor, the only light in the room was the glow of his phone illuminating his troubled expression, he sneered from time to time for no reason as the weight of his decision and everything currently happening bore down on him like a heavy burden, keeping sleep at bay, he was unable to sleep and it felt like peace had eluded him. His conversation with his brother replayed in his mind like a broken record, each word shared like a dagger into his heart that only caused more frustration in him."I won't be intimidated by your empty threats, Reynold, you should also remember this property belongs to my biological father and you can’t call the police or anyone to throw me out of it," his brother's voice echoed in his ears, reminding him he wasn’t a biological son of their father which did nothing but added more fuel to the agitation he already felt. The betrayal stung, but Mr. Reynold knew it was the only way f
Chapter 115Owen's hands clenched the steering wheel as he pulled up to Mr. Richard's house, a sense of urgency propelling him forward. Entering the cozy living room, he met Mr Richard and Hayden sitting down together his presence had caused them to stop talking, they acknowledged each other with a nod and he sat down. Owen wasted no time launching into the details of their predicament.“I can’t believe that Uncle Reynold can go this far, at this point he should know that we know everything that is happening, kidnapping Mr. Jennings is the highest of it all and I am scared he shouldn’t end up hurting the poor man” Owen stated his fear, Mr. Richard and Hayden who was in a state of confusion only ran their hands over their head. “I am just thinking about the perfect way to go about this, I am tired of Uncle Reynold having that much power” Hayden muttered"We have to act fast," Owen declared, his voice laced with anticipation."Mr. Richard's brow furrowed in concern as he listened to Ow
Chapter 116Fury burned like wildfire within Owen as he stormed out of Mr. Reynold's house, his fists clenched at his sides. He hated the fact that he wasn’t remorseful fit everything he had done but that was all could do because due to that he was able to get what he wanted. His mind had questioned when he was going to his mansion and that was the reason why he quickly put his phone on record before he started talking to him, knowing that was only the way he could get him talking, all he needed to do was to provoke him and the rest was history. He wasted no time, dialing Hayden's number as soon as he settled into his car, he was busy tapping his finger on his knee until Hayden picked up the call “Hey, Hayden," Owen’s voice was tight with tension. "I got it. I recorded everything. I was able to provoke him and he foolishly took the bait so he ended up confessing everything and good enough I was smart to record” His hands traveled through his temple as he slowly massaged it. Hayden'
Chapter 117Mr. Reynold sat in his cell, his mind racing with thoughts of escape and vengeance. He had never felt so powerless in his life, trapped behind bars with no way out. He tried to use his influence to sway the cops, but all his attempts were met with indifference or outright hostility. Fear gnawed at him, the fear of spending the rest of his days locked away in this prison, far from the power and privilege he had grown accustomed to. His thoughts were abruptly interrupted by the arrival of a cop, who informed him that he had a visitor. Mr. Reynold's heart skipped a beat as he was escorted to the visitor's waiting room. As he entered, his eyes locked onto the figure of Owen sitting calmly in a chair, a smug smirk playing on his lips. Anger surged through Mr. Reynold as he glared at Owen, his fists clenched with barely suppressed rage. He wanted nothing more than to lash out and hurt Owen for what he had done, for putting him in this position. “How could you do this to me? A
Chapter 118Inside the bleak confines of the prison walls, Mr. Reynold found himself surrounded by hostility and animosity. The other prisoners, fueled by resentment and disdain for his past crimes, treated him with contempt, making his already miserable existence even more unbearable.“You shouldn’t breathe that loud man!” one of the prisoners yelled and another snickered “What do you expect from a man that thinks the world revolves around him, he must think that he is still in his mansion living the luxurious life that was offered to him in a platter of gold” another replied and they burst into laughter. “This makes me wonder why a rich man is stuck here with us, I wasn’t expecting someone like him to stay here with us, his money should have gotten him out immediately.” another replied and the first one that spoke, tilted his head to look at Mr Reynold “I am curious, tell us your crime and how you ended up here, don’t leave any detail out, in this confinement, I am the king so yo
