Chapter 172A knock echoed from outside, drawing a brooding Henry out of his thoughts. If he left this place today, where would he stay? That was not even the problem. The main issue was getting to a safer place because it could be exhausting having to ply that same route without having a plan. He yanked the door open, and was greeted with a smiling George. His smiles stretched from ear to ear causing him to wonder what was going on. " Why are you so happy this morning?" He asked him. George shrugged, he wasn't the only person who had shitloads of problems so why should he allow himself to brood. "Good morning, sir. I love to exercise my facial muscles. You know it takes more muscles to frown right?" He inquired as he stared at the completely dressed man in front of him. Henry opened the door wide to allow him in and George strode in as though it was his room. Henry shook his head in amazement. One would have thought that after the way he had spoken to him last night, George would
Henry and George were taken aback when they heard the loud voice of a strange man outside the corridor, try as they might, they decided to check out what it could probably be so they opened the door softly.Henry poked his head out first before going to check on what was going on. A man with beards almost dropping down his neck sneered at a scowling Liam and Henry figured out that there was tension between both men.Liam shove his hands into his pockets and leveled a withering glare at Miles. This could have made other people shiver but not him. "I did, what's the problem? You were supposed to attend the meeting yesterday but you didn't. Is this a conspiracy between the members of the syndicate?" He asked in a steel voiceMiles squared his shoulders making himself look taller, refusing to be intimidated by Liam. "Yes, I didn't, you can't expect everyone to dance to your whim. There's nothing that you can do to pull us out from our bases." He retorted.Liam raised a brow at Miles' aud
Chapter 174Henry felt a bit scared he didn't show it, instead he stared at him with a slightly raised eyebrow as if to say 'what do you mean?' He glanced at Jess, " Let this man be, he has nothing good to say to you. If you need more information, ask your husband, he's in a better position to tell you." He advised.Jess nodded and walked briskly to Liam's office. Probably they would thrash whatever it is that was between them and finally get it out of the way. " Great to see you standing up for her. Are you also sleeping with her?" Miles taunted him and Henry threw a punch at his nose again. He would take any insult but disrespect a woman because of whatever reason took the cake. "I can see that she gave it to you real good. Does Liam know about this?" He asked as he wiped his mouth again, still maintaining his awful smile.Liam beat Henry by throwing a punch at Miles and this time they heard a crack. It was as though his nose had cracked.Miles jutted his chin stubbornly,his eyes
Chapter 175Henry wouldn't have minded whatever was happening over there if he hadn't been exposed to people who were doing bad stuff. Especially Jess, what if Clara was also frolicking with some men over there and here he was thinking that everything was going on fine. He saw her wiping her face, most probably to get sweat off her face and he tried to gaze at the surroundings. It was truly what she called it. A doctor's office. Clara observed that he was acting weird but decided also to keep mum. It wasn't everything that one was supposed to say. A concerned look flickered on his face as she stared at him. He was busy staring at her like he was a detective."So, what's good, you look a bit distressed. Is anything the matter?" She asked in a concerned tone."Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit down, I'll be fine soon," He replied a bit too harsh for her liking and she stared at him with an eyebrow raised and a puzzled look he had never snapped at her since they began to grow closer. Heck what
Chapter 176"So, you were saying?" Clara began when she sat on the chair opposite the doctor. She was feeling a certain vibe when she entered his office again and she looked down at the phone and saw Henry giving her a thumbs up. His brows were furrowed in concentration. It was obvious that he was invested in that discussion. "Yeah, from my observation, your grandfather has a high chance of waking up as soon as two days."Clara smiled in happiness at the doctor's words, it was a thing of joy that he was going to return home as soon as possible and her brain was already moving in the direction of doing a small celebratory dinner for him. She bet that he'd like it. " Okay, I'll be hoping for that sir." She said and he looked at her briefly again. "Is there something else, sir?" She inquired softly."Yeah..." He chuckled nervously and her heart began to race, so did her palms become sweaty. "I hope there's nothing bad happening to Pops. I can't stand losing him." She said and the docto
Chapter 177"Let him speak." Henry advised from the background as he heard her speak. She was sounding hurt but that shouldn't make her discard her only surviving relative at least that was the only person he knew. Being with him didn't mean that she should automatically lose her sense of self or lose her relationships. It was surely going to end in disaster because he feared that a day would come that she would resent him for making her lose the people she had known since she was little. His eyes scanned the screen hoping to get a glance of Adrien, to judge if he was truly sorry or it was all a joke from him after not being allowed access to luxury like before."This is not what you think."Adrien said, trying to convince his sister whose eyes blazed with anger. Clara scoffed and dropped the phone, placing her hands akimbo, she wondered how she managed to end up being related to this ingrate, that only showed the type of person he was. What if after everything she was doing just for
Chapter 178"What the hell are you doing around the area? Who would have thought that you of all people would be calling me? What happened to staying dead?" Caine fired the questions at him. It was very surprising to hear from Anthony. Most importantly, he was surprised that his new number was tracked."So, you are still in your tracking operation?" Caine inquired tactically. He wouldn't have thought it possible that he would ever speak to Anthony again after the way they had split. "Where are you right now?" He inquired. He has another assignment but he could spare a few minutes. Moreover, the person who he was going to meet had not yet arrived.Anthony stroked his cheek while watching Caine from the computer. It was a ploy to annihilate him but he didn't know. "Oh, I'm in the area but I don't think that you can see me." He replied and took a look at his boss who was busy puffing his smoke in the distance. He did just know why he was very emotional and felt so pained over people's is
Chapter 179Henry couldn't believe his ears when heard the words, "Do you mean that Greg is dead? Is that what you are saying?" He repeated to make sure that he was hearing correctly."I can boldly say that we are making headway, it's very amazing what we have managed to achieve in the span of a few minutes, all thanks to my friend Anthony." Henry's head was reeling in surprise, as he stared at the blank wall in front of him."Wait a minute, what are you doing? What are you trying to say? Is Greg dead or not?" He inquired."He's safely where he belongs and he's not getting out anytime soon. I need you to give me the address to Liam's house so that I can come there right now. I don't trust all of them, there are still a lot of people working for Greg and they would surely want to retaliate." Caine answered. None of what this man was saying was making sense to him. It was either he was dead or not. Hehad come to realize that the man was like a blood sucking viper that refused to die, or
