The next morning, the company officials of the Hopkins group were surprised not to see their financial manager Michael.He was nowhere to be found, as he feared that they would come after him. He didn't send any letter of permission that he would be excused that day from work.They tried to call his line, but it wasn't available.Many executives including Henry the acting president, were greatly in shock because he hadn't behaved like this before.“What could be the reason? (Henry asks himself). Could it be because his fiance was arrested, or what is happening?”.They needed him to execute an important job that day but he wasn't available.After work that day, some workers were asked to go to Michael's house to inquire about the reason for his absence but yet, but he was nowhere to be found.Everyone they asked, said they did not know where he was.This sounds funny to everyone but to George, it was business time. He would always know what his counterparts were doing and he must always
By the next day, when there seems to be tension concerning the case of the abducted twenty-three workers, George and his security team will bounce in the reign of good news.It was immediately reported by some news agencies that the twenty-three abducted workers of the Hopkins group company had been rescued.It came as a rumor but within three hours, the news was finally solidified.Once again, George's new friend the army colonel, led his men to an unknown destination, where they rescued the twenty-three workers of the company, and silenced the illegal operation of some unknown gunmen.However, the gunmen escaped from the military, after getting a piece of immediate information from their invincible boss, to leave the territory.The abducted workers were immediately taken by the military, to a rehabilitation center as usual, and began to conduct several investigations on the matter.Thus, the news filled all news channels, and it became popular because any news carrying a headline ab
Meanwhile, as all this happened, Georgia's parents Andrews, were seen discussing with Georgia concerning George.They were yet to believe that the announcing man was currently George.They used to know him as a stupid Punk, who couldn't afford a plate of meal at a sitting.“So, this your friend was a rich guy”? Mr Andrew asked.“I am just hearing it, Daddy. I never knew he was from a very wealthy family” Georgia responded.“But what really happened to him? Why was he behaving so rich and when you two were working together, was he pretending to be a poor person or he has charmed the Hopkins family, who are now taking him to be their blood?” Mr Andrew asked.“Honestly speaking Father, I don't know how to reply to your questions but one thing I'm sure of now is that he is the heir to the most powerful company in the continent and not just that, their forever president until he departs this world, or willingly hands over to any of his children or anyone if he wishes,” Georgia said.“I hop
As all this events continued, Armstrong was being affected by the things which was happening of which;he considered negative.The pressure on him became tough as he was seen deliberating on what next to do.As it is known, no one knew that he was around the country and in fact, he wouldn't love to make his presence known because if he does, he might get arrested, since security personnels might be secretly looking for him. He then, decided to remain silence why staying in the hotel that secretly belonged to him but yet, he was greatly troubled.He was troubled of the facts that his two uncles were arrested by George and his father been Daniel, made them the third person. By having his father been locked up in the police custody, he wasn't happy about that. His mother was in deep pains, his siblings were also devastated and also, his other relations whom their father was also been arrested by George, were in a state of confusion.None of them had the gutts, to fight back or to challe
The discussions between Armstrong and his grandfather Mr Hopkins, wasn't a success since Mr Hopkins' response to him was left on a note of suspense.Even though his grandfather meant every single word he said to him, Armstrong was still convinced that his grandfather would do something about it because he could not just leave his three sons to rot in the cell.And as for George, Armstrong was hoping to get on him. He really wishes to lay his hands on George but as the story progresses, it may never be possible for him to do such.Meanwhile, George was about to be a very important person in the country, as he would be partnering with the country's military on the advancement of defense technology. Both George and the military have taken some gradual steps together; through their various secret meetings which will be summarized and come to a conclusion in a few hours. However the next day, George was seen along with some officials of the Hopkins group of companies having an important m
While George and the military were having a peaceful negotiation and signings in the military headquarters, the police and other security operatives kept on the game deep and deeper, on the secret criminal cases of both Armstrong and Michael.They would release reports about both friends and kickstart a warrant against them. However, George wasn't aware of what was going on.He would never expect some further actions from the police investigators because both he and the people of Klev, easily lose hope on the police force.Although, he just trusted that the police would do a fair and sincere job.Immediately George came out from the military headquarters, he started to hear several news stories that were flying around the sky. He ways surprised that the Klev police force had gone far about this case.He was informed of the current tidings by the security personnel but he needed to watch it himself on a television so, he called his assistant, to rewind the words and statements from th
As the controversies between George and his relatives continued, many of them thought it was time for their family beefs to end. None of his relatives were happy concerning the trending issues that have been going on in their family. Each of them has once thought of meeting George to plead, on behalf of their fathers and uncles, but it wasn't going to be possible because each of them once had some ugly issues with George, which ended catastrophically.Their issues with him were majorly found when George was previously accused of stealing the family money, which was meant for investment since then; all of them became grievous enemies with George even after he was made the company's president since it was his legal rights, he still maintained a broken relationship with them.George was not ready to be stabbed the second time by people who hated him and this was why he chose to remain at arm's length with them since they saw that he was taking it so hard on their fathers and various u
The meeting between George and his relatives together with his uncle's wives, came to an end without a definite conclusion.They have all spoken out their minds as to the reasons for having a meeting with him and George also gave them a response that would compliment his inner and unchangeable decision.He didn't tell them that he succumbed to the reasons of the meeting and he neither informed them of him rejecting their reasons.However, they all hoped that good things would come out of their previous meeting with George.That night, they went back peacefully and happily.Meanwhile, on the next morning, George and Miss Olive would be crowning their relationship.It has been weeks now that the both of them fell in love with themselves and since they knew that they were compatible, they would give in to themselves so that they could become best friends for life.That morning saw countless numbers of vehicles patronizing the compound of Miss Olive's father. The scene pictured several dig
The president Harryson,after hearing from Miss.Olive,was not convince whether she would properly handle the case just as she promised. According to the president,if a person like George was been capable of being hurt successfully, then,there is no safe person in the country. Thus, while Miss. Olive handle the situation on ground,the president also informed the country's security to look into the matter. The situation was really a pathetic one in the country,that brought the hearts of many wailing and mourning. They wished that it was another person that should be abducted,and not George. George's grandparents Mr.and Mrs.Hopkins,were greatly saddened about the news. Apart from them having feelings for him like they should,they were also, been worried about the state of the 'Hopkins Group of company because once George is defeated,the company's pride and strength,will also be defeated. The next day at exactly 6:30am,police and many other security personnel a,filled Henry's environmen
Finally,the mysteries of all events in and out of Georges life,was gradually coming to an end. He has been justified by the law court and before everyone,that he is not guilty of all offence that was leveled against him.Both him and the general public,felt pity for Armstrong,Kelvin, Michael and Sophia based on the 40 years judgement that was passed against them,by the court. But the truth remains that there is nothing anyone else, could do about it because the truth has been exposed and justice has been executed..George after spending several days in his mansion,as he was deeply feeling for them,decided to move out with only two of his escorts,to purchase new vehicles. His wedding with his lover'Miss. Olive’, was just there days away from now,and he wanted to appear great on that day.He wanted every of his materials on that day,to be newly purchased. He has suffered a lot. Suffered in the hands of family members, external personels,and in the hands of love and so,he promised himsel
The shocking revelation reverberated through the wood-paneled walls of the courtroom, evoking a collective gasp. Already charged with financial crimes, Kelvin Armstrong's friend, and Sophia now faced even more serious charges: planning the deaths of George's parents. A mixture of astonishment, incredulity, and sick interest cracked the air.With a stern resolve on his face, George sat in the front row, silently finding strength in Olivia's hand. The realization tore up old scars; it was a reality he'd always suspected but never verified. In spite of the years of lying, justice was finally at hand, and a glimmer of grim delight appeared in his eyes among the wave of misery.The prosecution painstakingly put together the horrific reality, buoyed by a pile of recently discovered evidence. They revealed a story as contorted as the coil of a serpent. It was discovered that Sophia and George's father, Jethro, had been having a covert affair. Driven by a desire for vengeance and a cunning
The news that Kelvin Armstrong, friend, and Sophia had been detained by Russian officials sent a shockwave over the world's news networks. Those who were acquainted with the Armstrong name and their complex web of deception shuddered at this unexpected turn of events.The world was aware of Russia's tense ties with the West. The country strongly defended its own, and there was widespread mistrust of any alleged outside meddling. When it came to those who were thought to pose a danger to national security or had a hint of Western influence, they weren't beyond breaking the law. Because of this, Russia came to be seen as an unbreakable fortress that was beyond the reach of the long arm of international law. Russia's borders provided commanders and others in legal difficulties in the West with a safe haven and a shelter from responsibility.But this time, circumstances were different. There was a lot of guesses in the news reporting. The vast Russian countryside seemed to be being swep
Excitement was in the air as George took in the lavish ballroom. The long tables were covered in soft white tablecloths and beautifully placed flower arrangements, all bathed in a warm glow from the sun streaming through the large windows. It was just a few days away from his wedding to Olivia, the lady who made his life brighter again.For the first time in ages, George had a true feeling of calmness descend over him. All of the hardships of the previous several months, including the conflict with Armstrong and Mr. Joseph's slander campaign, appeared to take a backseat. Olivia had been his defence through the storm, her unfailing support and contagious optimism.Now he watched her, her dazzling smile lighting up the room as she spoke to the wedding coordinator about the finishing details. She looked stunning and happy, wearing a flowing white dress that provided a sneak peek at her wedding gown. Wordless affection filled George's heart to overflowing. He was eager for them to beg
Tension boiled in the air when Georgia's father, Mr. Joseph, padded into the courtroom. He seemed pale and wan, a long cry from the gregarious businessman he had previously been. His relationship with Armstrong, particularly in the defamation campaign against George, had forced him to confront the repercussions of his deeds.Under Ms. Davis, George's attorney,'s stern glare, Mr. Joseph moves uneasily and restlessly while seated at the defense table. Ms. Davis, a strong lady renowned for her piercing wit and unshakable commitment to her clients, did not take long to present her case."Mr. Joseph," she said in a loud and crisp voice, "you stand accused of collaborating with the notorious Daniel Armstrong to make up a defamatory documentary about my client, Mr. George Hopkins."The overweight attorney representing Mr. Joseph, whose face was always strained, cleared his throat. "Your Honour," he shot back. "Mr. Joseph was only acting based on facts he thought to be accurate. He was unawa
Still, a little bit of doubt gnawed at the margins of George's newly determined determination. Even when the obligations were paid off, a feeling of justice was still unsatisfied. There was a simmering sense that his uncles, now free men again, still had the capacity to cause problems. Yes, they were reprimanded, but leopards don't completely alter their spots. George still had a secret weapon in his sleeve—an ace that would eventually bring them to ruin. They may pretend to be sorry or show signs of humility, but he would see right through them. He was aware that their desire for riches and power persisted, like a ticking time bomb ready to go off.Meanwhile, another type of tension simmered in the air behind the antiseptic walls of the military jail. Seated opposite his imprisoned son Armstrong was a haggard man with a haunting expression in his eyes: Mr. Daniel Armstrong's father. The older Armstrong's eyes filled with tears, and the harsh fluorescent light glinted off them. Shame
The military prison facility's impersonal white walls made Armstrong feel insignificant. The luxurious furnishings and soft carpeting from his former confinement cell have vanished. Here, concrete was king and the sole decoration was a single fluorescent bulb that flickered and gave him a sickly, ugly glow.His thoughts were filled with the picture of Mrs. Janeth's stern glare, a terrifying reminder of his demise. In his isolation, bitterness was a continual companion, eating away at him. That George, his own cousin, had turned him in was beyond shocking to him. It brought back memories of a carefree, youthful period of life. George, beaming and teasing, the familial tie appearing indestructible. But that George was long dead, long since replaced by a man whose sense of justice and duty had hardened him. When Armstrong was originally discovered engaging in questionable activities directed against the Hopkins Group, which was led by George's father at the time, pardon had been grante
The sound of gunshots reverberated around the deserted warehouse. Mrs. Janeth huddled behind a stack of boxes, her heart a frenzied drum solo on her ribs. Angry lights shooting from across the room revealed dust motes dancing in the air. George's security system, a well-oiled apparatus refined for just these kinds of circumstances, was engaged in a vicious dance with Armstrong's men.The sharp sting of cordite and the metallic flavour of gunpowder filled the air. Mrs Janeth heard bullets squeak past her head and sink into the corrugated metal walls with a horrible thud. The guttural roar of automatic guns and the anguished screams of the injured broke the staccato pattern of firing.Colonel Petrov and his tactical battalion proceeded with well-honed precision across the large, open area. Their motions were lethal and precise, like those of ghosts in the shadows. Their guns fired in short, deliberate bursts that quickly and precisely neutralised Armstrong's soldiers. The sound of metal
