"Damn it," Marcus muttered, and Katherine asked, "What's wrong?" He turned to face her, his expression grave. "I just received a message from Sandra, the Tycoon Lord's two. He's requested an urgent meeting with them." Katherine's eyes widened in alarm. "I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this is bad, very..." Marcus nodded in agreement, his face set in a worried scowl. "This is very bad." He tried calling Sandra, but it went straight to voicemail, and he let out a frustrated hiss. "Why now?" he groaned, rubbing the back of his neck in disbelief.Sandra, on the other hand, had switched off her phone, aware that her father was sitting in front of her, and she couldn't risk getting caught. "Dad, can I come along with you?" she asked, trying to sound innocent. But her father's stern voice cut her off. "No." In normal circumstances, Sandra would have backed down, but she was determined to attend the party to uncover the truth, she knew they needed it to be ahead of the Tyc
The group nodded in unison, while Sandra struggled to maintain her composure, her tension palpable. The Tycoon lord noticed her unease and cleared his throat, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I see Xavier brought his daughter," he said, lighting his cigarette. "Yes, boss," Xavier replied, his gaze cast downward. "My son is in prison, and I needed a ride to this place." The Tycoon lord let out a low, menacing chuckle, his eyes fixed on Sandra. "Don't worry, you'll be fine," he said, his tone dripping with condescension. Sandra nodded, her mind racing with the need to conceal her true feelings. She knew that if the Tycoon lord suspected her of harboring doubts or disloyalty, her life would be in grave danger. Her father, Xavier, wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice her to further his own interests, particularly if it meant gaining control of the property alongside John. The mere thought sent a surge of anger through her veins."Jack, your business engagements have been lacking lately, no tra
Jack stormed into Don's room, his anger palpable. He delivered a stinging slap to Don's face, leaving him reeling.“Father?!” Don gasped rubbing his cheeks with his eyes wide open."Don't you dare call me 'Father'!" Jack thundered, his eyes blazing with fury.Don's eyes widened in confusion. "But, Father—"Jack cut him off, his voice rising. "Don't you dare call me that! If I were your father, you would have obeyed me! You wouldn't have destroyed me like this!"Don's confusion deepened. "Father, I don't understand. What did I do? Why are you so angry with me?"Jack's anger boiled over. "You just got me stripped of my tier one status! You ruined me! I warned you to stay away from Johnson, but you wouldn't listen. Now, where do I hide my face?" he exclaimed, his voice heavy with shame and despair."Father, I didn't mean to do it. I didn't know you were warned about Johnson. You didn't tell me," Don pleaded, his eyes wide with innocence.Jack's expression turned disgusted. "Can you even
"How much do you want to sell it for, Leonard?" Marcus asked, his eyes fixed on the CEO.The CEO paused, a calculating glint in his eye. This was an opportunity to offload the company and make a lucrative deal. He cleared his throat, a sly smile spreading across his face. "Mr. Man, we both know how good my company is, and its fame. Yes, we're facing difficulties, but that's normal."Marcus nodded curtly, his expression stern. "Get to the point. How much?"The CEO's smile grew wider. "One trillion dollars."Marcus's eyes widened in shock, not at the price, but at the CEO's audacity. "One trillion dollars?" he repeated, his voice laced with disbelief.The CEO, however, seemed unphased, a smirk still plastered on his face. "What, Mr. Marcus? Is my price too much?" he asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.Marcus's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the implications of the CEO's asking price. He thought to himself, "I thought he needed money, so why is he driving such a hard bargain?"M
"What's the latest?" Katherine asked the moment she saw Sandra, but before she could respond, Marcus gestured for her to be quiet. "Shh," he said, and they nodded in unison.Marcus began to tiptoe, and as he approached the spy, he opened the door and found the man on the ground, unaware of Marcus's presence. The spy stared up at him, caught off guard."Who are you?" Marcus asked, his tone laced with suspicion.The spy hesitated, "Uh, I'm... looking for my grandpa."Marcus raised an eyebrow, "Grandpa?" he repeated, his skepticism evident.The spy nodded, but Marcus was not convinced. Katherine and Sandra exchanged worried glances, sensing that something was amiss."Fine, come in," Marcus said, his voice firm but measured.The spy's eyes widened, and he hesitated, "Sir, I... "Marcus chuckled, "I thought you said your grandpa lived here, so come in," he repeated, his tone laced with skepticism.The spy shook his head, "No, no, I think I'm in the wrong place," he said, turning to leave,
"You can't threaten someone who's already died before," Marcus retorted, his voice firm and defiant.The Tycoon Lord let out a bitter laugh, a cold, mirthless sound. "You don't know who you are messing with," he muttered, his voice dripping with venom. With that, he ended the call, leaving Marcus seething.Marcus let out a hiss of frustration, he walked to his room, slamming the door behind him and began pacing around the room, his mind racing with thoughts and doubts. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. "Come in," he said, his voice curt.Katherine nodded and entered, her eyes locked on Marcus. "Should I activate the necklace?" she asked, her voice low and urgent.Marcus rubbed the back of his neck, his expression conflicted. "I don't know. I'm confused. What if these people no longer have the same loyalty to T-Force?" he said, his voice laced with uncertainty.The room fell silent, the weight of Marcus's doubts hanging heavy in the air. Katherine's eyes narrowed, her mind work
“This is the logo of the man who set the house ablaze that day," Marcus said, his finger tracing the symbol on the screen. One of the actors, Devon, raised his hand, and Marcus nodded for him to speak.Devon stood up, clearing his throat. "There's a grand party happening soon, where every influential person in the city will be in attendance. Don't you think we should all be there? I have a feeling this man might be there." His gaze locked onto Marcus, who smiled, his eyes gleaming with intrigue."This is brilliant," Marcus said. "We all need to be there, and be alert. It's the perfect opportunity to gather intel and make our move."Sandra spoke up, her voice curious. "How do we get an invitation?"Marcus's eyes turned back to Devon, who nodded confidently. "Leave that to me. I'll take care of it."The room fell silent, the only sound the quiet hum of the computer, as the members of T-Force nodded in agreement, their minds already racing with strategies and plans for the party."It's
Owen's frustration grew as he tried to reach out to people for a loan, but they all came up with one excuse or another. He glanced at the clock, his anxiety spiking as he realized he had only two hours left. Suddenly, a thought struck him - he had sent Amayah a lot of money over time, so she must have some savings.With a calculated calm, Owen got up and headed to Amayah's room. He knocked on the door, but there was no response. He knocked again, his patience wearing thin. When there was still no answer, he pushed the door open to find Amayah crying.Owen's eyes narrowed, his distaste for the situation evident. He hated having to pretend to care for Amayah now, when all he really needed was her money. But he knew he had to play the part, or risk losing everything.Owen sat beside Amayah, who turned away from him, and he gently touched her shoulder. "Amayah, I'm sorry," he said, feigning sympathy. But Amayah remained silent, her tears falling onto the bed.He tapped her shoulder agai
