"Then don't you think you're going too far with the accusations.."Matt was interrupted once again."I don't remember letting you have a day in this. So you should keep your dirty hole shut!"Matt was stunned by the insult. He didn't believe that Leo would come for him with such harsh language! It simply left him stunned."Don't waste our time..." Leo shifted his attention to the MC as he stared at his watch "Give us some explanation, won't you?""I don't think we owe you such an explanation" The MC Said "If you're not happy with it then you can leave." "Is that so? Can I leave? Why don't you say that if I'm not happy with it I can sue you or do some further investigation? Isn't that allowed now?" Leo questioned. "Because me leaving here without an explanation means two things.. suing this place or coming for further investigation "As Leo said that, some people around couldn't help but laugh Slightly.. It was funny to them because they knew Leo for coming from a little company with
On hearing that someone had come to see him with news of the Award show, Leo had grown more curious. He looked up at the man who had Just walked in as he said."Let him in" It didn't take long before the man left and came back in with the person who had claimed to have something to share with him. This person was a fairly young man who was wearing glasses.After bringing him in, the other worker left. It was now Leo, Jake and this other guy.Leo had shown him a seat as he sat down there. And then Leo stared at him "So, you said you have something to share with me? Something exclusively about what happened in the Award show? May I know what it's about?"Leo had questioned Curiously. the man in glasses hesitated for a while as he stared at Jake "Don't worry about him" Leo noticed his stares " You can Talk with him around. It's Okey" Leo assured as the man noddedThe young man in glasses then began explaining to Leo what he had come across.He explained how Matt had first visited even
The next day, Mr May, The manager of the Epitome company, had just finished a meeting.He was walking out from the meeting room with another board member, while heading to his office.It didn't take long after he entered his office, His secretary followed behind.Mr May was seated on his office seat as he looked up at His secretary who had just entered "What's wrong? Did you get the information I asked you to look for?"Mr May and his secretary were still surprised and confused on how Leo had come up with such an amount of money in such a short time. So Mr may have sent out his secretary to do some research.He asked him to check all the banks and see if Leo had borrowed from anywhere recently. But he got nothing.As the secretary shocked his head, Mr may let out a long sigh "If he didn't borrow from the banks or whatever... then where could he have possibly gotten it from? It's not like anyone would have handed it to him like that..." He thought."Or Maybe did he borrowed it from pri
Mr May and his secretary didn't know what to say or how to defend themselves. They simply stared at each other and looked ahead at the fake lawyers which they had previously gotten.At this point, the Police men had questioned the lawyers before them. And having no alternatives, the lawyers had both spilled out the truth.They had explained how Mr May had found them and paid them for the shady business. And they also explained how they had done the business.Mr May already knew that it was over for him. He sighed as he looked around "Who sent you guys for this...." Mr May looked at the police men "who tipped you guys off for this..?""Is that really necessary?" The police questioned."Yeah it is. Is it that guy? The one from the L.E company? Is he the one who told you all about this?" He questioned but the police men didn't have any intention of telling him."We're not allowed to reveal his identity so don't bother asking" The police man stated.But Mr May was already certain who was
He cursed Leo as he thought about going broke. The situation he was facing now was one that he didn't see coming while he was making the plot.He glared over at the potency mastermind, His secretary, who was standing behind him also feeling uneasy.His secretary met his gaze and could feel the fury in them.He had put them both in hot soup and Knew that he wasn't going free!The police had grabbed both of them and pulled them away. In less than a few minutes, speculations about the case began surfacing.The news about The Epitome company downfall was trending as well as everything related to it.. somehow, people had managed to get some vague inside news of them faking documents to scam the L.E company with.This particular news had soon become the new trending news. More information about it began surfacing. The details of how he had hired fake lawyers and fake documents for the purpose of scamming Leo off some money.The whole situation surrounding this was being revealed little by li
The Manager of the Yap company sat in his car while staring at his phone which was ringing. For a brief while, he wondered who it was that was calling his line that night. But he ended up picking it after all."Hello? Who is this?" He asked."Hello, this is the Manager of the Yap company, right?" Leo questioned."Yeah, it's me..why? And how did you get this number?" The manager questioned."How I got your number isn't important right now. What matters is what I want you to do for me" Leo demanded.The manager hesitated for a while.. This guy was speaking with so much confidence, so he guessed he wasn't so normal as he seemed " What is it you want from me""Let's meet tomorrow morning. I'll send you the address. Don't forget about it". Leo didn't bother talking much. He had Simply Said and then cut the line.He Knew the man was going to come anyways. At least out of curiosity. And that was the whole point. He sent the address and made preparations to end work that night.*****The next
He only believed that Leo was just bluffing and now he waited for him to make a joke of himself at the last moment. But as soon as Leo took the card, he made an instant transfer of $500 Million!Seeing the credit alert on his phone, The manager was speechless!The Manager of the Yap company couldn't bring himself to believe what he was seeing now. It was the exact Money he had asked for. No one less or so.He was baffled as he doubted his eyes. His question was, How could Leo afford making this payment instantly without any hesitation?"He found that a mystery for himself!"Is that okay?" Leo stared at him "I've made the complete payment now you have to secure the spot for me and I'll keep in touch with you for the decorations and preparations, what do you say?"The manager was still taken aback by what had happened..he couldn't help but causally agree to what he had said " Okey...I'll . I'll make arrangements for you to throw your business party there."Leo had already brought the m
As soon as Leo walked into their Mansion where the grand Business party was going to be held, Most eyes had fallen on him.People were already in the business party room chatting and drinking. And people there were already certificated business men.. None of them were rookies. And Matt being there gave them the impression that it was because he won the award because he was there because of his father.But seeing Leo there, people found it rather odd. They couldn't help but question why he was there in the first place and what his motive was. Did they Invite him ? Or is he here on his own will? These were thoughts that ran through their heads as they Saw him.But Leo didn't bother looking at them, he walked past them and headed to a table to grab a drink when Matt approached him.Maths didn't seem happy to have him there. "And why the hell are you even here? Did you pull some strings to be here or something?"Leo glared at him "Pull some strings? I don't think I even need such to get
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
