6: He knows too much

7:30 AM.

The Alarm had gone off in Matt's bedroom for a while now but he was still asleep.

It was over an hour when the alarm clock had stopped, Matt finally got up to check out the Time.

He had jerked up from bed on seeing the time as he quickly rushed out of bed.

"Gosh! How can I be this late?!" He questioned himself as he rushed into the bathroom to get himself cleaned up and ready for the day.

Starting by cleaning up the jewelry.

Matt hurriedly rushed down the stairs, almost clumsy enough to kick off the shoes on his legs. But he had stopped and fixed them up.

Then he continued juggling downstairs where he met Grandma there eating alone at the large dining table.

"Aren't you going to have breakfast?" Granny asked looking in his direction as soon as he had gotten downstairs.

"No...I have something important to do" He had explained as she slowly nodded in understanding " Then off you go"

With that, He had rushed out of the sitting room.

Grandma sipped from the cup of tea before her as she looked up to her phone which was ringing on the table.

With the name appearing "Dear Son"

She hesitated a while before picking up the phone "Hello?"

"Mum...where are you now?"

"Obviously at home, what's it?" Her voice was calm as always.

" The headquarters are going to hold a meeting today, I want you to be there on my behalf of me. I'm busy with something here so I have to stay a while longer " He requested

"Okey. sure " She said as she calmly cut the line.

Two hours later, Grandma Dawns was sitting at the front seat of the company's meeting room meant for the CEO

All other Members involved were surrounded by the large circular table. The meeting began.

It was a civilized discussion amongst men and women of the company with their aims at hand. The meeting had gone on for over two hours before the rounding up was just around the corner.

At This point, A man had brought up something vital.

"Mrs. Dawns, I do have a question which has been bothering me a while now"

"Ask away then" Grandma Dawns permitted looking at him.

"According to what you and Your son the CEO had assured us, It was said that the surviving of the Late CEO Scott was still alive and staying with you peacefully, so my question is. Isn't it time for him to return and resume the role of his father?"

******

The meeting room had gotten noisy with people there murmuring to each other obviously about what The man had just said now.

Calmly, Grandma Dawns adjusted the sunglasses that were over her white hair as she placed a confident smile on her face.

"Mr. Watt, You've been asking me about this whenever you do get the chance and it gets me concerned about your aim. Is it that you do not trust us the Dawns family or maybe or have something in mind?" She questioned.

"No. Don't get me wrong because I have absolutely nothing in mind. It was just a mere question that I was curious about" He asked.

"Oh..is that so?" She raised a brow" Well then I have to clear it up before you begin spreading your unhealthy mindset to more madness. You should be aware of the fact that we have the legal and certified writings and recordings of the late CEO who legally handed it all to his best friend who is like a brother he never had. Which is my son."

She continued" And it's no secret that the parents of the late CEO were also close to me like family. So I don't see why the question "

People around began nodding in agreement to what Grandma Dawns had Just said.

"And if you're curious about him Well then I have no choice but to make it personal. His surviving son although survived still suffers from Great mental illnesses out of shock from the news. And this had developed into multiple illnesses. But we're trying out best to keep him safe with all we could. So I hope you understand. Mr. Watt"

She said staring at him with a smirk.

"We Certainly support and understand your caring decision, One said.

"Of course. We've seen more than enough to believe " Another added

"And also to set it straight to Mr. Watt, I hope he's aware of the fact that My Granddaughter is engaged to Him...And their grand marriage will proceed as soon as he's well" She added.

"It's okay. No need to explain yourself further. we understand you " They Said.

"This case Isn't the reason for this meeting. so with all that done...The meeting is over " She said as she got up to her feet and walked out of the room. Everyone slowly left too.

"Hey... what's wrong with you?". A man sitting beside Mr. Watt had questioned him after Grandma Dawns was out.

"What? What did I say wrong? I was just asking, Is that wrong now?" Mr. Watt asked.

"As a good friend of yours, I'll advise you to mind your mouth and not get into trouble with those questions of yours. Okay?" His friend stated.

"Whatever" Mr. Watt snapped " The late CEO was Very good to me. when my family had nothing, he was the one who employed me, and then I got enough money to help my family So this is the best I can do for him Making sure there's nothing unjust done to him".

His friend simply sighed staring at him "You indeed have your world. well whatever, Let's just go" He said both of them got up and left.

Grandma Dawns graciously sat in the back seat of a flawlessly luxurious-looking car that was worth a million lars or so. They were fifty rich, so it meant nothing

In the car were only her and the driver in front.

The driver was in a black suit and sunglasses over his eyes like always. he wasn't only a driver to start with but rather a personal assistant and follower of Grandma Dawns.

Grandma Dawn had her sunglasses over her head as she casually looked outside the tainted window, Looking at Mr. Watt who had just walked out of the company along with his friend.

"He has been asking questions endlessly. It Makes me uneasy looking at him. The questions just annoy me to answer" She said looking as Mr. Watt left the sight.

"Does he have anyone whom he shares his theories with? Like that friend of his" She asked.

"Based on what I've searched up on him, No one wants to listen to what he has to say. everyone believes you completely and even his friend urges him to stop. But he's still not giving up. He does all he can to find little information as he can" The man explained.

"Interesting..." Grandma Dawns expressed as she looked ahead "He thinks he's so smart that he can take me on. Well too bad he has just picked on the wrong enemy"

"What do you plan on doing with him ma'am?" The man asked.

She let out a smirk" We'll just have to get rid of him, don't we? But we'll do it in a way that will shut everyone up and set him up. Let's Just give him an end to crime" She said as she placed the sunglasses over her eyes "Let's go"

She ordered as the man started the engine and drove off.
