With people already mumbling and looking at what was gonna happen next, Katy stared at Mia with a cold expression. "Mia... restrain yourself from being annoying here..." She said in a low tone but Mia had interrupted her. "What behaviour is this? Is this how you work at your office? Looking down at clients? aren't you just a disrespectful brat?" She questioned. "This is an important occasion so don't even think of..." Before Katy could make any more sentences, Mia landed a slap against her cheeks. The hard slap had Katy shut up. she stood there, bittered as she glared at Mia. She had an obvious expression on her face. People around were already stunned while watching the scene. No one could stop it. "You brat..who do you think you are..." Before Mia could finish her sentence, A hard slap landed on her face. It was even more hard and fierce than the one she had given to Katy. It had left Mia stunned as she stared at Katy. ", What the hell do you think you're doing...?" Before sh
Mia had returned home and met her Mother alone in the sitting room, having breakfast. "Hey.. Where have you gone to Mia? You've been acting strange since yesterday? Did something happen to you?" Mrs Watt observed as she questioned. Mia on the other hand didn't even wish to talk about it.. So she thought of a way to divert the question. " Oh, nothing is wrong with me. I'm perfectly fine. It's just that I'm feeling sick.. By the way i came across something interesting today " "Something interesting? What's it?" Mr Watt asked. "I saw Leo walking into a five star hotel" She informed" Seeing that...I questioned if my vision was wrong...But I'm sure he was really there..I have a feeling it was really him, I saw his face too" "Is that so?" Mia thought through it."Then does it mean that..I think he works there!" Both of them thought about what Mr Watt Said. "It makes sense too, " Mia agreed" It's impossible that he could even afford a room there. so it makes so much sense that he works
The next day, Mrs Watt had gotten ready in the best way possible..She had put on her luxurious outfit, coupled up with some sunglasses as she got ready to leave. She had later left the house and made her way to the hotel where Mia had claimed to see Leo in. The place where she was certain he was working. It didn't take long before she finally arrived at that Hotel. And as she arrived, she majestically walked into the hotel with her sunglasses on. She had made her way in like one who actually owned the hotel. Anyone who saw her Would think so. In her hands was a bag which she had brought alongside with her. it wasn't an important bag or whatsoever, But he brought it for a certain reason which matched his plan. Mrs Watt walked in and approached the receptionist who was busy with some files before her. And as soon as she made her way into the hotel, Leo had seen her. Leo was coming out of his room from the side when he caught sight of The familiar Mrs watt. He couldn't pretty much g
Leo said nothing but attended out his hands and then signalled some guards who had been watching from a distance. These were guards who were taking care and guarding the Hotel..and as soon as they saw Leo call for them, they quickly approached him without even thinking twice. They walked up to Leo who looked at the lady before him..Mrs watt had grown confused as to what was happening at the moment now. "Ma'am, I already told you that I wasn't the one behind it. I am not the one who ruined your bag . but you were still persistent enough to blame me as though you already had a fixed aim of throwing the blame on me" He explained. "And what are you even talking about?" Mrs watt questioned. Leo smirked as she looked at the guards behind him " Please take her away and throw this lady out of this place immediately " He ordered them. "Yes, we shall do that, " The guards agreed. But before they could even think of coming at Mrs watt, she had already pulled back "And what do you think you
"Who the hell is incharge of that shitty new company? L.E or whatever the name is" "I know right? How can a new company be this shitty and disgusting when they're Just new and haven't even started?" "exactly my point. I wonder who their new CEO behind everything is" "Imagine forcing someone into selling their company to you and grabbing their only Source of income..how evil!" "I hope karma hits this company hard. I really hope they fall so hard into their end even before starting business properly" The endless comments running through the post and topics involving Leo's case and company were harsh and toxic. It was Mostly the same thing. People curse them out. The situation had grown Terrible by the time as the news escalated throughout the news forums and spread more like Wildfire. People were buying the news and sending hate to the company and it was leading to more unpleasant stuff. Leo was sitting on his seat while viewing the posts and comments related to it when Jake walke
"Dad had literally turned tables on this bastard and made his work and life a sin! People all around are basically seeking his end so badly that his condition looks terrible at the moment!" Gabe stated " I saw it too. It really looks messy and if this continues till tomorrow they'll basically get cancelled in the business world " Mia added. "Of course they're gonna get cancelled no matter what. And tomorrow dad is planning to take it to the next Level " Gabe added. "what next level"Mrs watt inquired. "I'm gonna sue them to court " He smiled" They'll have no choice to accept and that brat behind them will have no choice but to show up his face to me..and I'll see the bastard behind it all" "Sue them to court? Are you sure that's gonna work?" Mrs watt questioned. "It's gonna be a breeze. Because he won't have anything to fight with now. Everything is ruined for him...and he will fall to his doom. I already have everything to bring him down" He expressed. Mia smiled "Then I guess w
The car had pulled over right In Front of the Court where the case was to be judged. The people who had gathered around the Court were mostly people who were against Leo and had come to watch him lose. Someone had walked down from the car which had stopped, But they weren't able to see the face of the person who got down from the car. He had a face mask over his face as he walked in. He was in protection of guards who had clustered around him while pushing the crowds aside. The man had finally made his way into the courtroom where the case was being held as he slowly pulled down his face mask. "I'm here" As soon as he announced that, Mr watt and Gabe who were already there and waiting for his arrival had turned to see who it was. They were pretty much anxious to know. And having seen Leo walk into the room, They were stunned.. Leo had made his way into the Courtroom in the company of his lawyer. And then he went to sit down opposite Mr Watt's sitting spot. Mr Watt and his son we
Leo's words had them all confused, Especially Mr watt and Gabe. They were indeed trying hard to understand what he meant by that, But it was to no avail.. because they didn't understand him. "And Mr Leoz what do you mean by that?" The judge asked as Leo smiled. He got out some audio recording from the file in his hand and gave it to the judge. preparations were quickly made for the audio to be played in the court. Mr watt and Gabe were getting worked up and panicked as they stared at what Leo had. It was confusing. And as they started the audio, They were more astonished at what they were hearing. They were shocked to have heard the conversation between Mr Roll's father and Leo who had recorded it all. It was a conversation making it clear that Mr Roll's father had voluntarily signed the contract because he was a hard gambler who needed the Money. And he didn't even think twice about it. And again it was also confirmed that the Money was sent to him at that moment. Leo sighed as
SIX MONTHS LATERThe Ellison empire had been restored with Leo the sole Heir of the throne. With the news of his identity breaking out on that night, the internet was broken as expected. For over a month, everyone was talking about it. And eighty percent of the comments were basically positive. They acknowledged him after the whole truth was out.Max was bashed as expected and forgotten in a couple of months. Now Leo has become the hottest topic of the moment.He was back as the CEO of the Ellison Empire ( as he has changed the name from whatever Max had given it. And now turned it to this new name)Leo had merged his previous company with The Ellison empire, expanding his power and riches. The company has grown into a great one in a matter of months. A great empire that had become top 1 in the country and still expanding internationally with top spots. It was growing to become bigger than it was when his grandfather had it.It was an achievement on his part.He had also restored the
"let go of me! Let go of me you jerks! Let go!" Max struggled to set himself free from the grasp of the police men to drag him away. But to no avail. They had brought him to his car, about to take him in when Leo arrived at the scene.They stopped and let Leo bid him farewell before they took him away.Max paused as he stared at them for a while. Zane, Leo, Jake, Mr Otto and Katy were standing there right before him. And he burst out into laughter, a bittered one."I can't believe this...you freaks... All ganged up against me? Only me? Then this shows how powerful and great I was.. for all of you to gang up against me alone!" He laughed.Leo sighed with a smile as he walked up to him "That should be the least of your problem" he expressed as he leaned close to him "What you should worry about now...is what is about to become of you""Highest I'll go to jail... And I'll be back soon... You can mark my words for that" Max said confidently.Leo found himself laughing out loud "Come back
While Mr Otto stood there reading the details of the file confirming Leo's identity in front of al, max was getting sick of it all.He felt some headache while he staggered backwards for a while. He was pissed off and annoyed..he wasn't sure he could stand here any further."Ridiculous...All pathetic..." he mumbled to himself in annoyance as he turned to leave but Zane stood there before his eyes. Blocking his ways."And where do you think you're going? I'm sorry but you can't leave until the party is over? Leaving before it is, is rather... rude.. don't you think so?"He glared at Zane with fury and annoyance "You disgusting pest... Get out of my way this moment. Traitor" he spoke in a low tune while Mr Otto's voice was overshadowed as he read the whole paper to everyone's hearing."I didn't betray you..." Zane smiled as he leaned towards max and said "I just did what you wanted to do to me before you did it.."He continued "I already know you like the back of my hands... I know your
"This is a certificated and verified file containing marital proofs and confirmations that Leo Ellison is in fact that Grandson of Mr Ellison, The Once business Tycoon. Making him the correct heir to the throne of the empire" He read out the summary of the file.Max was speechless as he paused for a second and then looked towards Leo's direction "What the hell are you reading...? That's not what I gave you what bullshit are you talking about?" He snapped.Everyone had started mumbling amongst themselves as they looked around in shock. They had even stared at Leo who casually sat there. He was calmly enjoying what was happening."I'm only reading what I saw on the file, no need to blame me" Mr Otto expressed while shrugging "And I shall read further...."Max didn't let him go further as he snatched the particular paper from his hand "Shut up! You're talking gibberish! That's not what I asked you to read!" He flipped through the paper he had in his hand to see what Mr Otto was on about.
EARLIER THAT EVENING When Max and Zane were in the car heading towards the venue of the event, Max was sitting at the back going through his plans and making sure everything was in order. Zane on the other hand had already planned everything.He cautiously sat there looking through the mirror and making sure Max wasn't too attached to the file that was beside him.They had arrived at the Venue of the event and Max got down, he then handed the file over to Zane and said "You'll be with it. When I call upon you on the stage, I want you to come with this particular file. Then we're gonna end it all with it" He explained.Zane nodded while accepting the file from him. He wasn't too curious but he asked for the sake of asking "They already know me for the bad name I have... And seeing me with you isn't going to spark too positive of a vibe... I'm worried about what people would think of you if they saw me with you..." he expressed, worried.
The murmuring intensified as soon as Max's name was called. Everyone was shocked as they didn't expect someone like him to be called on stage.Max didn't seem to care about what they were saying. Whether they were slandering his name or praising him, he didn't seem to care. Because he came in here with a mission that would change things for the better. And he was bent on achieving that.He got up from where he sat and happily walked up to the stage. With all eyes on him he went straight to take the microphone from Mr Otto, who handed it over to him, and then made his way to make his speech.He was standing before many eyes, anxiously waiting for what he was going to say. And he was glad he had that audience and that attention at that moment. With a smile he proceeded with the pleasantries.He started off on a formal note by thanking everyone for inviting him and appreciated the event and all. Not many people seemed to care about what he was on about but he didn't care. He went on anyw
Leo had attended the event with his dear wife Katy. Both walked hand in hand along the bustling hall of the party while greeting people and exchanging pleasantries.There were people from different countries. All rich fellows of great businesses who were making it to the top spots of the business world. This, Leo was aware of.While they were making themselves at home and welcoming and chatting with people, Max on the other hand had packed just outside the Event building.He came with Zane whom he took to the entrance of the event. He presented his invitation card which he had managed to obtain from heaven knows where. He had insisted on taking Zane in as his "servant" and they had allowed him in.Both walked into the Hall, admiring the Classy decorations made and an exquisite set of people who were present at the event."Beautiful. This is literally my stepping stone to being one of the best CEOs in the country. And I can already feel it
Max had gone forward with making preparations for the upcoming grand event that he had set his mind on attending. He had begun seeking means to enter the event and he had gotten close to achieving that dream.He had met with some people and after some hand shaking and deals made behind the scene with money and all, he had managed to secure a position at the event. He was now assured of attending the event after putting in efforts into it. He was relieved about that.After achieving that, he worked towards his next issue. Which was confirming the information Zane had given to him. The files.He had done this without information Zane, because he had to make sure that Zane wasn't lying to him. But Zane had already known he'd do further investigation on this. Leo had already predicted it. And sequel to that, already had his way of handling it.Zane had called Leo on an evening and updated him on everything that was happening over the phone. He has his ways of finding out that Max was maki
Zane had encouraged his plan of getting into the party as well, that was his plan after all. And both of them had taken their time to discuss some means of achieving this. They didn't come to a conclusion on how Max was going to find his way in, but had stopped it at some point."I'll have to begin seeking for people who can help me get in. I'm pretty sure I have a handful of connections that could help me in. So I don't think that should be a problem" He expressed while leaning backwards into his seat.Zane nodded in agreement "Certainly you will. All you have to do is get in there. And you'll be able to turn the table against him. So the person who leaps to the top in the end...will be you" He hyped..Max nodded in agreement and approval of his praises "So what next? What's the second important information you found?""Oh yes.." He hesitated while looking around "This second one is literally a game changer. The most important information you'll
