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
“You mean he had already accepted the will, and now you have prepared the papers so he could sign?” Mr. Moe asked Barrister Harry with so much enthusiasm.Barrister Harry and Alexander were at Mr. Moe’s place, as demanded by the latter.When they had explained to him over the phone how they had carried out the plan perfectly, his joy knew no bounds, and he had to invite them over so he could hear them say it to his face. He also invited Mr. Andrew over to hear the good news as well.“Yes, he only needs to sign it, and the same with Alexander. That is the only thing that is left.”“Whop!” Mr. Moe said as he used the balled knuckles of his right hand to hit against his left palm in joy. “That's fabulous. I am so happy about this right now. Now, let's see how he is going to escape this. You two did a perfect job, even beyond what I expected; no one could have done it better. For this to go this well, you must have played your part a hundred percent. I commend you two greatly.” He proceed
With an exhausted breath, “Where have you been all my life?” Mrs. Nelly complimented.“No wonder your body is well-built. Thank God I had to reconcile with my husband; if not, this is what I would have missed out on,” she goes on to express how she enjoys every bit of making out with Mr. Andrew.With a lavish smile on Mr. Andrew’s face, he said, “Maybe you guys connected back so that we would both have a good taste for each other. You are too sweet; I have to say this.”The both of them had already planned it out beforehand to meet at Nelly’s place.That was why they left almost at the same time.That was their second meeting already and all took Mr Moe unaware.They were both secretly crushing on each other and they decided to give themselves a chance.Although Nelly made the first move as she stole Mr Andrew's phone contact from her husband's phone.“Please, I need to state something clear. As much as we enjoy each other, we need to keep this, as much as we can, to ourselves. I would
Jack was with Barrister Harry and Alexander at the mansion. They were there so that Jack and Alexander could sign the will being presented to them by Barrister Harry as the will executor.Blade was there too but his presence wasn't too significant as he wasn't fully part of the meeting.The air in the grand living room was heavy, thick with unspoken tenderness in Jack’s heart.Jack and Alexander were seated stiffly in opposite directions at the end of the sofa, like siblings separated by a decade and a lifetime of resentment.While Barrister Harry was there on one of the sitting room sofas that was in an adjacent direction from where Alexander and Jack sat differently, He was dressed in a top-notch suit, with his gaze flickering between them.Clearing his throat, Barrister Harry steepled his hands. “Thank you both for making this possible today; it wouldn't have been possible without you two agreeing to one thing. Most especially to you, Jack, I must commend your courage. This is, und
Blade had the agent arrange for the officers to come from the police headquarters. They were meant to come even before the meeting between Jack, the lawyer, and Alexander commenced. But he didn't know what kept them late, and he tried to reach them, but their lines weren't connecting. That was the main reason he was bothered and couldn't say a thing while the meeting was going on, aside from the fact that he wasn't meant to say a word there.“I presume you are Mr. Alexander?” With a shaking voice, Alexander replied, “Yes, I am.” He knew that if the lawyer who had more social status than him was arrested, he wouldn't be an exception.“You are under arrest too,” he said as he dragged Barrister Harry, with the cuff already in his hand, towards Alexander.“As you know, I am a legal practitioner; we can sort this out,” Barrister Harry said quickly, but the man who dragged him ignored him, not knowing they had their audio recorder on.“You, go and search Alexander before putting that handcu
