Rise of the Pauper Son-in-law Chapter 117 (Private Investigator)
Agent Conner arrived at the police station, and the bustling atmosphere immediately caught his attention. Drake had instructed him to try and reopen the case regarding the death of his parents which was buried a long time ago.Drake had done everything he could to make sure he didn't involve the police, but it seems as though none of it was working. He really needed to know more about the IRIS and what really happened to his parents.As agent Conner entered, he saw people coming and going, and the air was filled with the sound of ringing phones and urgent conversations. He made his way inside to the desk officer, carefully holding onto the file he had obtained from Drake.Suddenly, a man dressed in black, and wearing a hat which covered his face, bumped into him, causing Conner to stumble and nearly drop the file. "Hey, watch it!" he exclaimed, but the man simply muttered a quick apology and hurriedly made his way out of the station. Agent Conner couldn't shake off the feeling that th

Drake walked through the front door, greeted by the warm smiles of Summer and Michelle. The aroma of freshly made sandwiches wafted from the kitchen, making his stomach growl with anticipation. "Hey, guys! Sorry I'm late," he said, dropping his keys on the counter.Ever since Summer and Michelle returned to live with him in the Sullivan's mansion, he had really become a happy man once again. Coming home to meet Summer and Michelle at home waiting for him was everything he could ever wish for.As he approached the kitchen, planting a gentle kiss on Summer's cheeks, she smiled, waving him off playfully, her hands busy assembling the sandwiches. "No worries, dear. We're just getting started.""Oh really?" Drake smiled, taking in a deep breath as the aroma of the sandwiches filled his nostrils, his stomach, growling even louder."Yes, honey," Summer smiled in return. "You just go and take a shower, and by the time you're done, dinner would be ready," The fact that Summer, herself, had de

"Thank you so much for the information," Drake greeted, as the call came to an end.He stood there a few more seconds wondering what exactly was going on, who this Hillary Koeman could and how he knew about his parents death.He wished there was someone else whom they could get evidence from as it was crystal clear that Mr. Koeman wouldn't tell him anything unless he agrees to his proposal. "Dad, aren't you done?" He head Michelle call out to him, jolting him from his deep thoughts."I'm sorry," he quickly apologised as he returned to join them.Summer noticed his unease but chose not to ask anything about especially with Michelle still there. She didn't want their daughter to sense that things were going wrong.She could see the joy she was having for being with her parents again, and she wanted it to stay that way.It wasn't long after that Drake noticed that both Summer and Michelle had fallen asleep. He gently tapped Michelle, but she didn't stir. Carefully, he lifted her up in h
Rise of the Pauper Son-in-law Chapter 120 (The Man On The Other End)
Drake stood by the window in his room, the late afternoon light filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the neatly arranged space. He, Summer and Michelle had just returned from Lewis's office and Lewis had booked Lucy down for a special surgical operation to enable her to walk again. The thought of seeing his daughter walk again, filled him with his optimism, that he just couldn't take his mind off it.Looking into the distant street from the window where he stood on top of the building, he couldn't help but wonder how so much had changed in his life, and with so much more still left to change. Just as he was lost in these troubling thoughts, his phone buzzed, jolting him back to the present. He picked it up and saw a message from him Prisca, reminding him of his meeting with the foreign investor from Russia.Drake sighed, as it had almost skipped his mind that he was to meet with a foreign investor from Russia. Grandfather Walter had also requested him for a gatheri

Drake's heart pounded in his chest as he weaved through the city streets, the urgency of the situation weighing heavily on his mind. The cryptic message and the mysterious caller had left him feeling uneasy, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He was expecting agent Conner to have called or texted to inform him that he was done with what he was doing at the office, but nothing like that had occurred.As he approached the designated location, Drake's thoughts raced. What if this was a trap? Who was this person, and why did he want to meet him alone? The questions swirled in his mind, adding to his growing unease. Finally, Drake arrived at the address and parked his car. He took a deep breath and stepped out onto the sidewalk, scanning the area for any signs of the mysterious caller. The street was quiet, with only a few pedestrians passing by, and Dexter couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding as he made his way toward the meeting spot. Suddenly, a figure

“What the hell happened here?” Drake asked as he and Conner looked at the hanging man, whose blood dripped slowly, staining the tiled floor."Was he the one you were supposed to meet?" Conner asked, as his gaze fixed upon the hanging man.Drake nodded, his eyes darting from one end of the room to the other as he wondered how the strange man who had come out to fetch him not quite long ago, had ended up dead within minutes. He hadn't seen anyone going in or leaving the flat, making him even more scared.Steeling himself, Drake walked to where the mystery man hanged, trying to recognise his face; he couldn't because he hadn't seen the man anywhere. He wished he had followed him in the moment he had requested for him to come. But on a second thought, he wondered what could have happened to him too if he had, as he might have suffered the same fate as the hanging man."I think I've seen him before," Agent Conner said, as he took a very close look at the man."Really? Where?" Drake asked,

Drake nodded, understanding Agent Conner's apprehension. He couldn't agree less with agent Conner, as it was very obvious that whosoever it was that they were up against was not someone to be taken for granted.As they left the building, Drake couldn't shake the feeling that they were walking into a storm of more woes, he knew he had a little hope when the mystery man called him. But the hope seemed to die off. He was stuck, he needed to find clues. He remembered the mystery man telling him that he also had news regarding the death of barrister Clark. Pondering over everything, he couldn't help but wonder what Barrister Clark had to do with IRIS.As they walked to the driveway, Conner's unease was visible, and Drake could see the worry etched on his face. It was unlike the agent Conner he had always known, who seemed to have conquered fear in its entirety."I can't shake the feeling that someone within the Sullivan empire is aware of our plans and is trying to keep this story under w

As the car sped away, the weight of the investigation hung over him like a dark cloud, but beneath that, a flicker of hope burned. The truth was out there, buried deep within the lies and shadows. And Drake knew he wouldn’t rest until he uncovered it. Just few minutes after, his phone rang again, and it was a call from Summer, calling to remind him of the appointment with Lewis Tyson."Please be careful," Summer cautioned, as the call came to an end.Drake arrived at the office building and briskly walked towards the entrance. He was grateful that Summer had called him to remind him of the meeting with Lewis Tyson, if not, he had totally forgotten.All he needed to do was to end his meeting with Mr. Ruklov early enough to meet up with the appointment with Lewis. The case regarding IRIS and the death of his parents may be important, but even his daughter walking again, was also important to him.As he approached the door, he accidentally brushed past a man who seemed to be in a hurry.
