Mr. Brown, the lawyer, shook hands with Byron as they both exchanged greetings.Joanna was sure the best. He wouldn't have been alert on Byron's arrest if she hadn't contacted him on time.The cops knew the law. They were aware that they weren't allowed to interrogate people without the presence of their respective lawyers so they apologized and did the interrogation properly with the presence of Mr. Brown.Immediately, they got talking and the three men were brought in for questioning.Scott cleared his throat, “Can you give us a valid evidence that my client indeed hired you all?”The police objected immediately, “Mr. Brown allows us to do the interrogation, please.” Byron nodded then Brown took his seat without saying a word.The cops turned to face the three of them.“Answer his last question, do you have any evidence that Mr. Byron here hired you to send a threat to The Armstrong Group?”The three men stared at each other in silence. They murmured, trying to buy time to come up
Byron raised a questioning brow. “Alex?” Carol nodded immediately, “Yes, sir.” Alex? Her response to whose account the company's funds went caught him off guard. His mind had wondered which one of his enemies would have gotten hold of his company's funds to want to bring him down. 2 billion was a lot and 6.8 being at risk was even worse. Wait… how did… where did… Byron ran his hands through his hair, in confusion. Alex could never do such, could she? Just then, his phone beeped and immediately, he answered the call. It was the company's account officer. At the moment he dropped the car, he turned to Carol with furrowed brows. “Call Alex, now!” She nodded and immediately stepped out to do the needful before returning. After the call, she also got the email on the funds that just went out. “Boss, the 6.8 billionaire that was at risk had been pulled into that same dummy account.” She announced then Byron nodded like he was aware. “The company's auditor just gave m
Byron types a few things on his phone before turning to the five of them, “Check your phones. I sent you a PDF file. Find out the exact person in charge of pulling out those funds.”Though the 8.8 billion went into Alex's account. Byron was sure she wouldn't have done it all by herself.He had a hunch that she was secretly into something to have disbursed such an amount of money without his knowledge.“Sure boss.” They chorused.With the information they just gave, it was only best he went to his father's how to check out things for himself and also get to talk to Alex.“Any news on Ethan's and my father's case?” He asked as he started the car to leave.“I'm the one in charge of that boss,” Raymond answered immediately. They had split the jobs amongst themselves to make it even faster.“Your father's room is mostly locked so it's always almost impossible to get in. And when he's out, Madame Beatrice never leaves his side.” Raymond explained.Byron frowned, “That's not an excuse. I wan
The next morning, Byron woke up to a banging headache. As he opened his eyes, he realized he was inside his room in his father's house. He was rarely here, as he had his own personal house in Pinnock but his room was set aside for him whenever he visits. “Good morning, young master.” Fred bowed in front of Byron's bed the moment he saw him opening his eyes. “Breakfast is ready.” Byron sat up and touched his head then checked his wound that opened before he passed out last night. It was clean and bandaged properly. Then he turned to Fred, “How did I get here?” Fred bowed, “I got a few bodyguards to bring you here. You passed out due to losing so much blood.” Fred explained but Byron didn't buy it. He remembers very vividly that he was hit with something. He didn't know what it was but he was certain that losing much blood wasn't the reason he passed out. He knew someone had done something to him though he wasn't able to see his or her face, he knew he was hit before pas
“Shit!” Alex cursed. She turned to the vault one last time before going out of Byron's office. She had a strong hunch that all the important documents she was unable to find in Byron desk and drawers were locked and hidden there.She moved as fast as she could but then, the door to the office went open then Byron and Carol walked in.Byron glared at her face, down to her bag. He couldn't help but notice the file popping out of her bag like she didn't place them well.“Hahaha… brother!” Alex broke the silence with a dry laugh that was obvious to everyone in the office.“Andrew stay, the rest of you should leave us.” Byron said then Carol and Alex's bodyguard's left and shot the door behind them.Andrew was the company's auditor and he had to be present since Alex was here and he was basically the one in charge.“I wanna have a few words with you, please have your seat.” Byron politely said to Alex and she nodded without hesitation.They took their seats then Byron turned to her. “Alex,
Her eyes widened in shock. When did Byron find out about this? He freaking got her investigated! How does she deny all this?She heaved a deep sigh before saying,“Hahaha! Dear brother! You don't think I could possibly do that without a reason, right?” Alex tried to admit.The more she tried to deny it the more dangerous this game might become. Seeing the expression on Byron's face made her restless and defensless.He could know too much and still give her room to deny it, so he could prove her even wrong in the end with more evidence.He must never find out who she partnered up with to carry out this operation. She might as well just say the truth to avoid unnecessary drama and lack of trust from him or it might break the trust she had struggled to build between them.It was obvious he suspected her big time!There was no form of trust in his eyes. She noticed the way he looked at her was now somewhat different.“What do you mean by that, Ms. Smith?” Andrew frowned.Alex tilted her h
Asides holding the majority shares in the Armstrong Group. Both of Byron's company's own the biggest part in it. There was a board meeting vote and most of the members chose Liam as the president and Byron as the vice president and Byron didn't object.Ever since Joanna announced Byron as the owner of Platinum Enterprises branch in Emerald Hill, they had no choice than to give him that spot in the company and Byron was okay with it as long as his other company, Mega Corporation still had the 80 percent shares of their company, giving both company power.He goes to The Armstrong Group once or twice in a week as the Byron they all know and as Mr. Smith, he only goes there when it's important.Right now, he was at the vice president’s office in the Armstrong Group while Joanna was in her office outside his office.Vanessa, who happens to still be a board member in The Armstrong Group, pushed Byron's door open and walked inside.Byron looked up, “Vanessa.” He called softly as she looked
Byron was about to follow Vanessa out and probably have lunch with her but seeing Maggi here was what he didn't expect.Ever since she and her family accused him wrongly, he had made sure to stay away from them especially since Liam was now out of jail.“Lunch?”Byron shook his head, “I'm not hungry.” What did she think this was? She could slap, call him names and even try to get him arrested and then turn back to propose lunch to him like nothing happened? This was his last day in the week to be here. His main focus was on Mega Corporation and by next week he'd come here as Mr. Smith, president of Mega Corporation and not the Byron they all know.“Excuse me.” Me made his way out without turning to look back at her.As he got to the restaurant, he scanned the place as the waitress placed his food on his table. He grabbed his chopsticks and started eating the noodles he ordered. Just while he took his first few sticks, his head was suddenly pushed to the hot bowl of noodles he was
