Passersby on the street spoke in hushed tones about the scandals of the Pinnacle Enterprise and the Linus family. The elderly shook their heads in disgust at the sickly acts of the Linus family. The despicable news was everywhere At midday people became more violent. There was chaos everywhere. People began to protest outside the Pinnacle Enterprise company as they yelled furiously. A furious mob had gathered outside the company and were threatening to break into the building. The security guards could not hold them off any longer. “How could they do this to us?”. Someone from the crowd yelled angrily. “They killed innocent people”. Another voice stated. “They laundered the money of the masses, they must pay”, another voice spoke with the same furious intensity as the others. Placards were carried with angry words written on them. Words like ‘The Pinnacle Enterprise mus
Chapter 192The angry shareholders finally left after causing havoc at Linus's residence.Linus and his father were in despair. His father laid sprawled against the floor, his shirt crumbled due to his fight against the shareholders, Linus's lip was gashed badly. They both sat down in silence tending to their wounds before Linus broke the silence. “We are ruined, our reputation is soiled now, what we've struggled to maintain for years has been destroyed”. Linus yelled furiously. “This was a setup”,Linus growled, his eyes widened in realization as he faced his father. “Oh, you're just realizing that now?”. His father scoffed in his direction. “But who could it be? Who was smart enough to discover all our secrets?”Linus asked curiously as he struggled to stand. “I'm sure we didn't leave any visible trace behind”. He stated looking in his father's direction. “Use your senses, son”, Linus's father replied with a frustrated sigh. “Who's the only person smart enough to pull this off?
Chapter 193In the midst of their despair,Linus's phone rang, it was an unknown number. Linus looked at his father with an unsure expression, but his father nodded at him and hesitatingly, Linus picked the call. Jude’s laughing voice could be heard at the other side of the line. “Did you see my gift?”,Jude asked mockingly. Jude already knew that Linus and his father would take him as their first suspect as they didn't know anything of his origin. So he decided to take the bull by the horn and contact Linus himself. “I didn't know you were a bitch”, Linus sneered in reply. “I swear I'm going to kill you, just stay in hiding if you want to live ”, Linus cursed in anger. Jude’s laughed in reply. “I don't think you're in a position to threaten me,” he stated calmly. “Once you're willing to sell any of your companies, please do contact me”, Jude mocked and the line went dead“Fuck”, Linus cursed, “I'll kill that bastard”. He yelled in anger.“Father, what do we do now? He asked curiou
Chapter 194Linus and his father arrived at their safe house. Linus's father slumped on the couch with a groan.“You”,Linus's father, motioned to a maid nearby. “Bring the first aid kit and tend to my wounds” he stated in a firm tone. The maid bowed and went to do as told. She returned and began to tend to Linus's father's wound. There was silence in the room until Linus yelled furiously. “What exactly is Jude’s problem with us?”He yelled angrily. Linus's father motioned for the maid to leave as he stared at his son who paced back and forth. Suddenly Linus stopped and his eyes widened in realization. He brought out his phone and called Jude,the line got connected. “It's because of Samantha's company you're doing this right? ”, Linus asked furiously. “I'm never going to sell it to you even if I die”, Linus sneered angrily to Jude. Jude’s laughter could be heard at the other side of the line. “Good luck Linus” Jude drawled and disconnected the call. “Aargh”, Linus screamed in an
Chapter 195Jude ended the call with Linus with a big smile plastered on his face. His smile slowly turned into laughter. He walked to his office as he had been in a meeting earlier when he received the call. Secretary Jin followed him curiously. “What's going on in your head?”, Secretary Jin asked in a confused voice. “Linus wouldn't be able to handle the despair I've caused him, not even his father can help him out of this situation”, Jude stated with a light chuckle as he took a seat in his office. “Yeah, I'm sure the FBI would be at their doorstep. Secretary Jin disclosed softly as he sat down opposite Jude as he adjusted himself. “That's where you are getting it wrong, the FBI can't arrest them. At least not yet”. Jude stated with a sigh flipping through some files on his table. “How so?” Secretary Jin asked curiously, “we obviously gathered a lot of evidence on them”.“If I know Linus and his sly father properly, they are probably getting rid of all evidence leading to them
Chapter 196 Secretary Jin walked out of the Jude’s office and went to his own office for privacy. He picked his phone and made a call to an unknown number. The line got connected. “Your services are needed again”, Secretary Jin said with a light chuckle. “I need you to make two fake IDs for me and my boss. It has to be done discreetly, no mistakes”. Secretary Jin stated in a firm tone. “Your money would be wired to you once you're done with the job as usual”. Secretary Jin stated. “You'll get it tomorrow”, the unknown voice stated gruffly. Secretary Jin hummed in response and the line went dead. Secretary Jin returned back to Jude’s office and helped him organize the remaining files. “Is it done?”, Jude asked curiously, breaking the silence. “Yes”, Secretary Jin replied affirmatively. “When would it be ready?”, Jude asked again. “By noon, tomorrow”, Secretary Jin replied slowly and Jude grunted in approval. Secretary Jin looked at Jude curiously, Jude noticed his curi
Chapter 197Secretary Jin had already spoken to his two trusted men and their fake IDs were sent to their office. Secretary Jin took the fake IDs and went to Jude’s office. “These are the IDs”, Secretary Jin said slowly as he dropped the IDs on Jude’s table. Jude grunted in reply and scanned the IDs carefully. Unable to hide his curiosity, Secretary Jin started to speak. “So are we really going to the auction as Mark Brooklyn and John Brown?”, Secretary Jin asked as he pointed to the fake IDs. “Of course”, Jude stated. “We are going to the auction. Now get our costumes ready. Jude drawled as he began to laugh. “Costumes?”, Secretary Jin asked with widened eyes,unable to hide his shock. “What do we need costumes for?”Secretary asked slowly.“To look the part”, Jude stated in a low tone. Now arrange for contact lenses for me, a fake wig and beards while you get a nerdy cap for yourself and braces. He stated, laughing. “But why do we need these things?We are going to an auction, no
Chapter 198After Linus sent Jude and Secretary Jin away he had no use of staying at the entrance of the building anymore and went to meet his father in his office. “Dad you wouldn't believe what just happened” Linus disclosed in a loud voice as he took a seat opposite his father. “Let me guess, Jude showed up?” He said with a bored expression. “Yes father, you are damn right. That bastard showed up with that lowly secretary of his. They had the audacity to disguise themselves. Those fools thought I wouldn't notice”. Linus disclosed with a smirk. “So you sent them away?, and they left just like that?” Linus's father asked slowly. “Sure as hell sent them away, chased them off with the guards, Jude looked so shocked and angry and that secretary of his looked like he'd pissed his pants”. Linus stated confidently. “Hmm, something feels off, the Jude I know wouldn't get caught so easily, I mean he's Jude” Linus's father stated rubbing his chin. “Father, you speak of him like he's some
