"If you believe in your son that much? Then why don't you ask your dear son and see what he has to say?" Leo looked at Ray. And so did they all. They looked at Ray. "Speak up now and tell this bastard that he's talking trash..Tell him that you didn't do such a thing... speak up now" Mr Ed demanded. Ray was looking furious as he glared at Leo..he hated him for what was doing right now. But casually said " It's all a lie..I didn't do such a thing like that.. you're just trying to Slander me and use it to your advantage" "Is that so?" Leo raised an eyebrow "I guess you're not gonna admit it. Do you think that I'm like you guys who use false rumours against people..I use real ones instead " Leo Said. "if you have nothing more. Then get lost, You won't be getting the results you want. Because Mr Amol had already made up his mind to sign the deal with us" Mr Ed stated. Leo folded his hands as he looked at Mr Amol who quietly stood there "Mr Amol, I'll be an angel and give you pretty ad
And just like that, Mr Ed had lost the business deal he had made with Mr Amol. And not only that, he had also lost the previous business deal cooperation they had worked on. He felt devastated and humiliated at the same time. "As for the damage payment, I'll handle it" Mr Amol stated as he tried and walked off With him gone, Leo looked at Mr Ed and slightly sighed. "Maybe next time you could play it fair. Then you might stand a chance against me" Leo said as he turned and walked off. Mr Ed stood there with both hands clenched. He felt annoyed while watching Leo leave. His hands were clenched. People around the company were watching. They were already Murmuring and making different speculation about what was going on. But Mr Ed didn't bother, he turned and zoomed off. Although what had happened didn't affect his business as a whole. Because this situation didn't get leaked out to the public or so. But it affected Mr Ed. He had lost his most important and most influential Invest
He wanted their failure. He wished for the instant failure of Leo's company..and he was going to make sure of that. After reading through the news he had seen online, he got out his phone to make a guess . It was a call which he hadn't made for a while now. And as soon as he called the line, the person on the other end of the line answered without much hesitation. "Hello? What's it?" Mr Ed forced on a smile "Hello, Mr James. It's been a long time. I can't remember the last time we spoke" "oh, Ed. Right. It's been long indeed. So what made you call me this time? Is there something you want?" Mr James asked on the other end. "Yeah.. actually let's meet up somewhere. I want us to discuss it one on one" Mr Ed requested. "Okay," James agreed. Later that day both of them had agreed and met up together. They had met up at an expensive restaurant. It was where they had planned to discuss. Having met, they exchanged pleasantries and had asked certain questions regarding their past..th
Leo let out a long sigh as he stared at the iPad in his hands.. What he was reading through it was rather annoying to go through. He was going through the investor of his family who had suddenly quit and withdrew from working with him. The fact that it was more than half of them all left him speechless. "What are we going to do about it? At this point I think all of them are going to withdraw from it" Jak expressed. Leo didn't know what to reply to him. He simply stared at the iPad. Going through the message these companies had sent requesting to stop working with him. It was really strange. Leo had indeed found it strange. Because Just a while ago, These companies were actively sending him requests to work with him. And now they're just cancelling it all? Leo knew something was certainly off about it all. It wasn't even that long, Not up to a day, before they lost 90% of their investors and investment. It was a terrible view because at this point, They were losing it business wi
"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to instigate something or what?" Mr Ed asked, raising an eyebrow at Leo. "No, Nothing.. I don't think I'm trying to get at anything. Let's just say that I'm curious about certain things." Mr Ed smiled "Is that so? Perhaps there is a specific reason for the visit? Something that we can talk about over a cup of coffee?" Leo smiled. "No, I don't think there's such a thing. But I'd pretty much wish to give a piece of advice as a fellow business worker" He smiled. "A piece of advice? What's that about?" "You should mind your business " Leo said with a smile "You should stop right now and don't think of pushing on with this.. Because it's not gonna end well like This " As he said that, Mr Ed stared at him "And what are you going to do about it?" He raised an eyebrow. He sighed "Nothing, I don't think I can possibly do anything about it..I'm just being friendly with my advice. Because... I'm probably not going to have the opportunity to say it
Leo and the lady whom he had met at the club house had some fun.. They had drunk to their fill and had also danced at the bar. When they were done, They had gone their different ways. Jake was still in the club house and had seen it all. He had gotten the little information he wanted..and with the information, he had gone back to Leo who sent him. He couldn't go to Leo that night, so he had decided to call Leo. Leo picked up the line from the hotel room where he was. He was walking out of the bathroom dressed in a nightgown for the night when he got the call. "Oh, hello? What's it? What did you find out" Leo asked as he sat down on the bed. He wanted to get what Jake wanted to say. "Well...Here's the thing" Jake had taken his time to explain what happened..he explained how he sneaked out of the Mansion. How he had headed to the club house and whom he had met there. After giving this information, Leo nodded "That girl whom he had met seems the most intimate with him. It probably
Leo had returned back to his Hotel room that evening feeling annoyed. Remembering what happened that day always had him fuming up. He wanted to get back at them. And he was sure he was going to. At that time, he had also found Mr James familiar. They haven't met before and he didn't even know him by name. But Leo felt like he had seen him somewhere. And he was right. As he went back to the Hotel room and refreshed up..he picked up some news papers to see if the news of his company had gone live Luckily not yet. But then he saw that picture of Mr James on the news. It appeared Mr James was a well known Billionaire in his business area. Known for his successful knack on domestic and international business. He was really a reputable person. And it occurred to Leo that Mr Ed probably couldn't have pulled all investors to his side alone. He had probably seeked some help from Mr James And that was how Mr Ed was able to achieve what he had achieved at the moment. He had merely used
On hearing what Leo said, Lily's expression changed. The proud expression which she had on her face had slowly died off. She frowned as she stared at him.. Leo continued regardless. "I said I don't like you so you don't have to worry about that. Okay?" "You don't like me?" Lily asked as though she was confirming it. He nodded. "Oh, is that so? I see" She nodded "So why did you call me in the first place? And how did you know Mr Ed? Are you two friend's or something?" Leo smiled "Friends? You've got to be kidding me. No I'm not. I'm not friends with him and never will be, "he said. "So... how did you know him?" she asked. "I guess you can say that we're rivals " He expressed "He wants my downfall and I want his own. It's as simple as that" Lily folded her hands as she stared at him.. she leaned back against her seat "So particularly, you want me to help you bring him down?" He smiled slightly "Sure. Yeah. That's what I want you to do for me" On hearing what he Said , Lily simp
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
