On that very Friday evening, Jack had also come back home before Scott.It seems like, when Blade said that it would be ‘a long day for him,’ then he meant it. Because, as much as Jack knew it, Blade left the house like 2 hours before the prior left for work by 7 a.m. that morning.So, when Jack got back from work, he quickly took his shower and then tried to have dinner, but he just ate a little as he didn't have much appetite. At least, better than the previous day, anyway.He went straight to his usual spot in the house, where he has a beautiful view of the city. Of course, Blade could easily locate where he is once he gets back.In a very brief moment, Blade was already back. He went to Jack’s room first, but he wasn't there, then he headed straight to the very spot as Jack had envisaged. Even without asking the housekeepers where Jack was, Blade was certain that it was his boss's favorite spot for resting if he wasn't found in his room.“Greetings, Young Master,” Blade greeted th
Mr. Andrew had visited Mr. Moe over the weekend for a meeting. The meeting took a lot of time, as they had a lot to discuss about their business and all.Mr. Andrew had in mind to ask his friend, Mr. Moe, about the latest update about Jack, but then that would have to be after the meeting.They were far gone with the meeting, almost concluding it, when Mr. Moe’s phone rang.“Hello, Liam,” Mr. Moe replied the moment he picked up his phone from the table right in front of him, connected the call, and placed it in his ear. “I hope you are progressing.”“There is something I discovered,” Liam, the caller, reported.Liam is the financial analyst who has done so much underground work for Mr. Moe over the years.“What is that? I hope it is good news,” Mr. Moe questioned, seemingly happy.“I am sorry, but it is not a good one.”Looking all angry, “What could that be then? Just go straight to the point,” Mr. Moe barked, his voice tone evident of how pissed he already was.“Everything about the
The reception area of Joe Enterprises buzzed with unsettling noises. The usual sounds of phone calls, hushed conversations, and keyboard clicks had been replaced by a tense and oppressive silence. Two figures, dressed in the official garb of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stood stoically in the center of the hall, with their expressions a mix of determination and suspicion.Across from them was Mr. Moe’s secretary, Lisa, and her face was pale and drawn. Fear gnawed at Lisa, a young woman with wide, worried eyes. Mr. Joe wasn't known for his patience, and unannounced visitors, especially of this official nature, are likely to be a problem for her.Hesitantly, Lisa stepped forward, her voice barely a whisper. “Can I, uh, help you, gentlemen?” She stammered, her hand instinctively reaching for the golden nameplate on her desk.The lead investigator, a man with a steely glint in his eyes and a no-nonsense demeanor, cleared his throat. “We're here to see Mr. Joe,” he declar
Just within a brief moment, Blade had gathered additional evidence, thanks to Mark, the former accountant who had been forced out of Joe Enterprises some time ago. Mark's detailed records and the knowledge corroborated by the anonymous documents provided a watertight case against Mr. Joe. For some reason, Blade can't extend it to Mr. Moe in the meantime.The journalist that Blade contacted was impressed by the strength of their evidence and was working on a follow-up exposé—a profound look into Mr. Joe's financial manipulations. The story gives every indication of being explosive, further exposing Mr. Joe's web of deceit and potentially leading to criminal charges.As hours turned into days, the pressure on Mr. Joe intensified. The SEC investigation continued, with their inquiries becoming more pointed and their critical observations more intense. The once-confident swagger with which Mr. Joe had navigated the business world was replaced by a nervous twitch, which, it is safe to say,
Jack's breath hitched at a go. Lord Rock, his late grandfather, had left everything just under his name: his mansion, the Agron Incorporation, and other assets. So, the thought of sharing his inheritance—the life he had already adjusted to—was a bitter pill for him to swallow.But to look at it from one angle, the man in question seems to be almost his age or he should be between a year to 5 years older than Jack.How come the man said he is a son to his grandpa, could it be that he is the same age or a bit younger to his step uncle.Blade, with a lost expression written all over his face just like Jasmine, narrowed his eyes, finding it difficult to comprehend what was about to happen. He only managed to step closer to Jack, her hand instinctively resting on his shoulder in silent support. The air in the space grew thick with tension.Still on it, Alexander withdrew a single document from the bag and placed it before Jack. “See for yourself,” he said, a triumphant glint in his eyes.J
After a little deep thought, Jack contacted the gatekeeper to ask Alexander to come back.The gatekeeper did that immediately when Alexander was about to get in his car to drive off, so he had to return to Jack.As soon as he did, Jack said to him instantly when he got to where he was, “You said that your name is Alexander, right?”“Yes, I did,” he replied, nodding his head. “Alexander Rock.”“Ok, that's fine. Can I have the documents and pictures, if you don't mind?” Jack requested.“For the documents, I don't mind, but for the pictures, I do mind because they're a big possession to me. That is the only picture of my late dad I possess.”“It's fine; can I have the documents then?”“Why not? I have the photocopy of it, so I will give you that and go with the original copy,” Alexander said. He placed the bag right on the table, brought out the file, and pulled a single document, which is the photocopy he said he would give to Jack.Jack collected it and said, “Thank you. I will keep in
Barrister Harry is the one whom the late Lord Rock entrusted his will to as the executor. He is a man in his late 50s, or, let's say, about 60 years old. His father used to work for the late Lord Rock as his personal lawyer before he passed on, and then Barrister Harry, who is also a legal practitioner, picked up from there.Barrister Harry had come earlier on that day to see Jack after Jasmine contacted him and told him that his attention was urgently needed at Jack’s house. By that time, Jasmine had gone to her place as she had some things to attend to.After being asked some questions, Barrister Harry confirmed that what Alexander had said was true. Blade asked him to go and bring the document that backed up what he just confessed to be true.He eventually left and, in no time, returned to Jack’s place with a file containing some documents right in a briefcase. The documents were stamped and signed with the signature of the late Lord Rock.Barrister Harry presented the papers to Ja
As soon as the lawyer left, Blade sent out a message to one of his agents: “Track the car that just left here now, just the way you did for the other that left earlier on. Make sure you do it covertly so that you won't be noticed. I want to know his whereabouts in the next 24 hours. Again, double the security we have in this vicinity. I am sure someone, somewhere, is secretly playing an expensive hard trick on the young master.”At almost the same time, the person responded to Blade’s message.“On it, the gate just opened, and the person is about to drive out. But this looks like Barrister Harry’s car, or is it some other person?”“Yes, he is the one. Just track him, like I said, and get back to me. You don't need to respond to this; just go on and do that. We will talk later.”At that time, Alexander had left Jack’s premises; he was unknowingly tracked by the same guy.Initially, Alexander had gone back to the hotel where he lodged. Then, while the agent was still keeping tabs on him
