“You…” Albert startled. The phone slipped from his hand and dropped to the ground. It now made sense to him; the Mr Kane, August called was definitely the Gibson’s emissary. Of all the families in the country only the Gibson’s were capable of pulling such a thing up. But what he couldn’t understand was how August was related to Mr. Kane. “Wait a second, are you the secret Gibson heir?” he asked curiously, his mouth agape in bewilderment. Though rumors had circulated the city about a new Gibson heir after Mr. Gibson's passing, nobody actually knew who he was, as he had yet to present himself to the general public.August did not say a word but left out a cold smile, and that was enough for Albert to get the answer he inquired, he was actually the Gibson’s heir; the most wealthy and powerful person in the whole continent.He quickly dropped on his knees and forehead, kowtowing before the man he had been throwing insults at for the past thirty. He even slapped him!“Forgive my ignoranc
"Thank you, your honor," Mia sneered. "For the past ten months, Tina has persistently visited Mr Wade's office under the guise of discussing a potential partnership. However, she has secretly confessed to me that her true motive was an unending admiration for Mr Albert Wade. In reality, she was going there to charm him with her beauty. But Albert had never shown interest in her. She called me yesterday, and told me over the phone that she have had enough of Albert’s ignorance of her and she was going there today to seduce him…” Tina’s mouth dropped agape as Mia narrated the worst lie ever told in front of the whole court. Tina was completely bewildered by the lies coming out from the witch she had for a best friend all these years. There was nothing Tina despised more than seeing Albert’s ugly face. How could Mia say such lies against her? If Tina could remove the handcuffs on her hands she would walk right up to the witness box Mia was standing in, not minding whether it was a cou
"You animal!" Mr Wade growled angrily as he jumped to his feet. His brows furrowed, and his fists clenched in rage as Mia exposed August as the one who had beaten his son black and blue.“He is the henchman?” Mrs Wade startled. “Somebody should arrest this moron already!” She added annoyingly gesturing at the inspector that had apprehended Tina earlier.Barrister Kingsley was stunned to see him, Mr Turner had instructed Damien to find and execute the supposed henchman. How come he is still alive?He then thought Damien and his men were after August that he became very afraid and came to surrender himself to the law. “All the same, either he dies by Damien’s or he gets years of imprisonment from the judge, the Pentad Society will have its way!” Barrister Kingsley thought to himself.August then stride quickly to where Barrister Mike was seated with Mr Doe, he bent down and whispered something into the attorney’s ear and the man’s eyes went widely open in disbelief. “Are you sure?” he s
Everyone in the courtroom was bewildered as August claimed he had evidence to prove that everything he was saying was nothing but the truth. What stunned them the more was how confident he looked.“Evidence? Did you hear the henchman?” Mr Doe snorted. “He says he has evidence to prove that my son is lying. We are all ears, henchman, tell us more lies and defend this slut!” Mr Doe added disdainfully.August’s face darkened into a gloomy frown after Mr Doe called Tina a slut. If he was close enough, August would’ve given him the hardest punch of his life not minding whether they were in the court or not. But he knew exactly what to say that’ll hurt him harder than a punch in the face.“Mr Wade, why don’t you check your phone, your emissary have probably given you a thousand missed calls already,” August said a chuckle.On his way to the court he had silenced his phone and would not receive notifications for incoming calls. Why would August know his emissary was calling? Reluctantly, Mr
“Albert?” Mrs Wade startled. “What’s he doing on the news? We left him right at the hospital an hour ago, he could barely stand, how did he now end up at the news station?”Mr Wade was equally confused, Albert’s body was all bruised and swollen, he even had a broken arm. He was in no condition to leave the hospital, what was he doing on the news?August was the only one who wasn't puzzled by Albert’s bizarre appearance on the news. Why would he be when he was the one that instructed him to go live on the news channel.“Hello, Everyone,” Albert’s slow and trembling voice echoed through the courtroom that had become as quiet as a graveyard ever since the TV was switched on. “I believe you all know me as Albert Wade, the general manager of Nebula Interactive. News were broadcasted about me earlier today, sorry to say the news were fake. Am here to tell you all exactly what happened”.“What is Albert doing?” Barrister Kingsley muttered, puzzled by what Albert wanted to say. “We have alrea
He wanted to call him Mr Gibson but after recalling what August had told him about the repercussions of revealing his identity, Albert wouldn’t dare complete his sentence.Getting Albert killed was as easy as falling off a piece of wood for the Gibson’s heir, and Albert was quite aware of the influence the Gibson family held- who did not know the family was the richest and most powerful family in the whole continent.After carefully arranging the words in his head to say it in such a way that will not provoke August, he then continued. “The door was kicked in and a gentleman walked in,” Albert chose his words carefully.August chuckled to himself, "You lucky bastard! You would’ve been a goner if you had blown my cover," he muttered under his breath.Albert continued, "I asked him to turn a blind eye and walk away, but he refused. Then he started... Believe me, it’s all my fault. I deserved every beating I got. The gentleman was only giving me the punishment I deserved. Breaking my arm
“Slap me?” August snorted. “I already told you at the hospital that today will be your last day in this uniform. But am ready to put that behind me including the slap you slapped me at the hospital earlier, only if you drop on your knees and apologies to Tina for all the harsh words you said to her and for arresting her without getting a clearance from the doctor,” August added almost with a sneer.The Inspector and his men exchanged gazes and then erupted into laughter. “Did you hear him? He just threatened to have me sacked. Am scared already, he must be the Chief of police!” The inspector said sarcastically.“No, this delusional idiot thinks he is the president of the country,” one of the police officers chimed in causing the other to burst into laughter.While they were busy mocking and saying all kinds of disdainful things to him, August smartly noted the station number and the name of the inspector’s uniform.“For the last time, apologize willingly and I may consider allowing yo
The Chief was seethed with anger; his brows furrowed, and his teeth clenched so tightly they seemed ready to break. Inspector Jack was trembling; he had never been this scared in his life. He couldn't understand what he might have done to anger the Chief so much. He wouldn't dare ask, he would not want to receive another heavy slap across his face. So, he zipped his mouth and grabbed his swollen chin, shaking like a leave in wind.“What have you done, you imbecile!” The Chief growled angrily under his clenched teeth. “Si—sir there must be a misunderstanding somewhere. I’ve not done anything, believe me!” the Inspector stammered frustratingly.“Shut up your dirty mouth!” The Chief interjected furiously. “Are you not inspector Jack of station 3**?” he inquired, his brows furrowing deeper. “Ye—yes it’s me” he nodded. “But sir, I—”Slap!It seemed the other slaps were warm-up, the Chief had specially preserved this very slap waiting for him to affirm he is the one. The slap sent him fl
