Max was more surprised than Jake at the turn of events, just last night Charlotte was weighed down with the thought of Jake releasing the video.Now she was different, she probably had a renewed mind after yesterday's episode."Have you thought this through?", Max asked her."I do not need to think of it at all,it is what I want", she continued eating at her bread."Bu-" Max felt a nudge from Jake, telling him to stop with the questions.Jake was satisfied with her decision, even if she doesn't want all of the videos to be out, at least videos that could implicate George would be okay."The right question we should be asking her is, how does she want to execute her plans?, In what way can we assist to execute these plans?"."Thank you, Jake, like I said earlier, I want him to transfer the ownership of the firm to my name in exchange for the release, I know he would not accept it so easily"."There is a camera in the limousine, most of the time he has sex with me he always records it f
Max watched as, George signed the documents without bothering to read through it, the desperation to get out was so powerful that he could not patiently read what was before him.Charlotte closed the document,"thank you, I will be seeing you soon" She signaled to Max that it was time to leave."When will I be getting out of here?" George asked herShe did not turn back to look at him, her hand on the doorknob, "soon, very soon you will be back to your comfort zone".As the door closed behind them, Max went closer to Charlotte,"Why did you lie to him about wanting some companies when he just signed over everything to you"."How could you ask me such? If I had told him directly do you think he would have signed it, that old man in there would not lose everything to me just because I want to get him out of here, he would rather fight me with all the money he has in the world".Max raised both hands in the air as if surrendering, "it's your plan and your call, you do what's best and I don
Her Aunt Rose was the first to ask amongst them,"so what do we have to do t help?"."Can we all sit down first?, so that we can be calm and focused". She helped her mom rise to her feet and the entire family went to the big living room together.Her three aunties, Rose, Maya and Becca sat huddled together every though there was enough space for twenty people.While her parents David and Sonia sat together, with David's arm around Sonia.Charlotte sat in front of them like a teenager about to be scolded.She waited to see if everyone of them is settled before starting,"what I am about to say might not go well for you"."What do you mean by that?", Rose asked."You have all heard of his arrest and how he tried to kill me, but there is only one way we can keep him locked up forever".She paused again, seeing the eagerness in her eyes she was encouraged to continue."We have to release the videos to the public" They were not clear on what she was saying, what videos was she talking about?
"You are most definitely welcome" Jake replied her."Now go back to whatever it is you were doing before I called".Charlotte happily hung up the phone and went back to join her family.Back at the McPherson's consortium, Jake placed the phone on the table,"it's like she's settled with her parents". He told Max."you don't look all to happy about it"."It's not that"."Then what is it?"."I don't really like her, she has got some attitude".This was surprising to Jake, Max didn't strike him as someone who would hate or like a person, he seemed neutral about his feelings towards people,"I'm sure she behaved strangle due to yesterday's event"How could you tell, you didn't ask if she was okay with them" Max asked quickly, he was not ready to dwell on the topic of Charlotte Hargreaves for long."If she was able to convince them about the video, then I take it that they are all in good terms now"."All i have to do is place a call to someone about the video"."Okay, I will be going back to
Jake waited patiently for Max to come pick him up, the massage was nice and he almost forgot to get the contact information of the masseuse, he went to her and collected her card telling her he'd call again for home service.Max came to pick him up, "Did you enjoy your time here?"."I very much did, I can't say about the conversation with Vladimir, I wasn't just feeling it"."He offered to partly fund the children's parade, and was talking about Hargreaves, the man knew a lot of what happened yesterday"."News travels fast Sir, faster than how you think especially amongst rich men"."I know that now, you do not have to tell me twice," he said."What do you want to do now?""I want to take the week off, no work, no troubles, and no fighting, I have had enough of that"."Where will you like to go?".Jake thought for a moment, there were actually places he planned to go on vacations when he had enough money with his family, now that he can't do that he has to think of somewhere else, so
Back at the Hargreaves home, they were all merry, it was the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, they ate to celebrate the end of the tyrant George Hargreaves in their lives.Drinks passed around the table, it was not alcoholic, David chose it specifically so that their minds would be clear and the reality of their greed would remain on the surface. They talked about different things that made them laugh and happy.By the end of the day, they all retired to their respective rooms, only Charlotte went to the big living room, her mind was as calm as a sea after a terrible storm.She wanted to sleep but was thinking of Jake, before now it would have been hard for her to sleep, she slept comfortably at his place though.But with all that happened yesterday, the family could finally sleep, not in a million years would she have ever thought of going against George, if it weren't for Jake she would not have had the courage to face him or even convince her family.After the Court proce
By the time they finished breakfast Rose was already eager to leave, she was calling to David telling him she wanted to go right away. David hurriedly hugged and gave Sonia a peck on the cheek before leaving," We will be back soon and we will tell you how it went"."We won't be interested", Charlo shouted as they left.True to Rose's words, there were lots of media men hanging around the police station where Hargreaves was kept, the video that was released made them emerge in large numbers, all wanting to get a direct word from George.Their cat stopped a bit close to the police station, but they didn't come out, David regretted not putting on a disguise like his sister, it was as if Rose read his mind because she spoke up immediately, "I told you to take something for cover, but you all thought I was being over the top with my attitude, how are we ever going to get in there".He agreed with her,"You are right, but if we go in with a disguise they would guess it is one of us, the onl
Jake was having the time of his life at home, for the first time in weeks there was no trouble for him to go handle or company issue that required his presence.Anything that comes up at the office will be taken care of by Max for the day, he was living the life, he could not go to the office for a full year and life would still run smoothly for him,but he was not ready to risk that, that's why he chose to give himself a full week's off from anything official.Besides it would be nice to get to know his sister better, and he suspected something between Max and Cassandra ever since the consortium's anniversary, they were too close for two people that just metHe would keep a close eye on them at the resort, who knows what he might find and for the detective, there was no particular reason for him wanting her to be there, she just came to his mind and he thought it would be a good idea if she was present, he would think about the plan later.He spent the day m, drinking a bottle of his
