At Kate’s office, a million and one thoughts had crossed her mind about letting his boss know about the conspiracies from Josh. The urge to tell him was there, but now she feels her job is at stake. The idea of her losing on both sides took away the better side of her thoughts because if she carefully explains to her boss, he will know who his enemy is. Although Josh didn't let her know, Jack used to be his colleague at San Diego hotels.

But from his reaction, she could state that Josh was working on an influence and also had something to do with his boss in the recent past. The fear of whether her boss was going to believe her set in, but she decided to give it a try.

At first, Kate's stomach lurched, but she pushed forward. She took a deep breath, with their chins lifting a slight notch. She stood up and headed to Mr. Jack’s office. Furthermore, she paused at the doorway, then resolutely stepped through.

Knock!! Knock!

    “I’m here,” Mr. Andrew snapped, ascending the stairs. With that, he looked at Scott, who quickly averted his gaze. He was sure his boss was looking for an outlet to vent his anger, and he wouldn't be the scapegoat.“Mr. Charles, it's good you are here. I wouldn't continue speaking on the phone with you concerning this issue.” Mr. Andrew bellowed.“So, can you explain what happened? Was your boy incompetent to deliver, or is there more to this?”“I don't think it's Josh’s fault; I think the useless tax officials Josh got messed up everything.” Mr. Charles defended.“So what difference does it make stating whose fault it was? The conclusion is that they didn't succeed.”"Sorry, the plot didn't go as planned, but I promise that I will come up with something better this time, Mr. Andrew,” Mr. Charles assured. “Jack needs to be stopped before he gets to the top he is aiming for.”Mr. Andrew chuckled incredulously. “Of course, he will be stopped, but I wouldn't need your help, Mr. Charles.

    “Good morning, sir,” Kate greeted as she stood right in front of her boss in a pitiful ramrod posture as soon as she got inside his office. As she was still at her office before her boss demanded her presence, she prayed so hard for his boss's decision to suit her.“Morning, Kate. How are you?" Nancy forced a smile. “I’m fine,” she squeaked.“Relax yourself; you may have a seat,” Jack said.Nancy sat down, and Jack noticed she was relaxed a bit. She quickly passed the ledger on the table over to Jack.Jack realized at a single glance that it was the stolen ledger but decided to neglect it simultaneously. “I know all these nervous looks on you are that you fear what the outcome of my reply will be.” Kate was baffled that it was that obvious and Jack could read through her. “Well, you are retaining your job, but on a condition.”A flicker of hope passed through her eyes. “Please let me know whatever it is, I will do it,” she replied desperately.“This paper here is an undertaking,” he

    In a clearer view, Mr. Jones recognized Mr. Andrew. Although it's mostly the Fisher’s company's human resources, or sporadically the manager, that brings the finances for external auditing, he knows a big fish if he sees one.Mr. Andrew is a politician and also a businessman, whom many prominent personalities can identify just at first glance.“Ah! Good day, Mr. Andrew.” Mr. Jones stood up from his seat, offering a handshake to Mr. Andrew, who returned the gesture. “What a surprise visit, sir. To what do I owe this visit?”Mr. Andrew felt some sense of humor with those words from Mr. Jones.“I need your help with something crucial to me.”“Help! What kind of help, if I may ask?” Mr. Jones adjusted to his seat as his mind swirled into multiple streams on what that could be. He couldn't imagine the kind of help he could be offering to an influential man like Mr. Andrew.“Ok, let me go like this.” Mr. Andrew didn't want to go straight to present what brought him. He only wants to state i

    “You sounded so urgent over the phone. I had to rush here as soon as I dropped off the call. What is the problem?” Blade said immediately that he got to Jack's office and relaxed a bit on a seat.Jack was short on words. He looked at Blade and handed the letter to him without saying a word.“You can actually let me know what is there rather than giving me to go through it.”“I think it's better you read through,” Jack replied.Blade took a brief look at the paper and then raised his head. “Who could have reported to the board that you fabricated the license for your firm?”“My brother, it seems it's quite unbelievable what people could wake up and think of doing,” Jack responded.“Well, I think you only need to counter them with wisdom. If you bounce hard the way you feel about this, you might end up getting on the board’s bad book, and you know what that means.”“I fully understand. I will present my licenses and permits to them. But my only problem is that they have canceled my resu

    Jack got to the New York State board of public accounting early enough, when most of the staff had not come to work.His eyes were red and puffy, like overpriced berries. The thought of the allegation weighed heavily on him; he had a sleepless night.Jack had called his company’s lawyer, and he gave him the reason he couldn't come, explaining he was out of town.The lawyer happened to be a general lawyer; most of them who owned an accounting firm patronized his services.So he knew he had to face this alone with his head held high.Jack inquired and met the licensing board investigator, who questioned him about the accusation. And then he gathered all the necessary documents that he would present as witness statements of evidence to the accounting license unit.He asked Jack to go and have a seat while he waited on the judgment from the board.After some moments, he heard a low, menacing tone that lingered in his ears, just behind where he sat. “Who do we have at the mercy of the Boar

    Jack adjusted his shirt as he stepped into the studio to have a seat. Across from where he sat was Mr. Jones, with a smug grin plastered across his face.A woman with a perfectly silver-coiffed mane showed up. She happened to be the host, “Welcome to 'Financial Face-Off'! We have a serious allegation. Mr. Jones Cloud here claims that you, Mr. Jack Ford, have been operating your accounting firm with forged licenses and permits.”With the revelation, everything was beginning to make more sense to Jack. It was clear that Mr. Jones was the mastermind behind the accusation. He knew there was more to the public audit; it was a calculated attempt to destroy his career. With the thought of that, his blood ran cold.Jones leaned forward, his voice dripping with mock concern. “Indeed, he is.”“Hold on, we didn't ask for your opinion for now,” the host interrupted him and continued. “The integrity of the financial sector hinges on qualified professionals. I believe a live demonstration of your

    Later, as Jack exited the studio, a group of people approached him, their expressions filled with newfound respect. He recognized them as those who came with Mr. Jones earlier; they happened to be Mr. Jones' clients and investors.“Mr. Jacks,” one remarked, “your explanation was excellent. I'd be very interested in discussing my financial needs with your firm.”Jack, vindicated and buoyed by the turn of events, offered a genuine smile. “Thank you. I'd be happy to.”The other inquired, “I hope you don't mind if I switch my company to the winning team’s accounting firm, sir?” Others nodded simultaneously at his request.It all sounded hilarious to Jack that they referred to his firm as the winning team, and he let out a wild smile. “Of course, I don't mind.” Jack replied, and they left the spot with high expectations.The ordeal had not only cleared Jack’s name but also transformed a potential allegation into an unexpected opportunity.As Jack approached his car to leave, he heard his n

    Immediately, Jack walked into his house and said, “Congratulations, Jack!” Jasmine exclaimed, holding up a tablet displaying news articles that read, “Accountant Excels in Public Audit Demonstration. Jackal and Co. Enterprise’s president wins over a rival.”“I think they're calling you the 'financial explainer extraordinaire,'” Jasmine teased.Social media was flooded with praise for his clear and insightful explanation.Jack chuckled, a wave of excitement washing over him. “Extraordinaire, huh? Maybe a bit much, but I'll take it.” Subsequently, he made himself comfortable in his favorite spot in the sitting room, where he collapsed onto a couch.“Please, let's have a drink. This calls for celebration.” Blade, who couldn't contain how happy he was over his boss' victory, ordered the maid, who served them two bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru.“Young master, you killed the show. I watched everything play out from the beginning until the end. You are indeed a genius. To

    “Getting married to you is one of the best decisions I have made,” Jack complimented Jasmine, while Jasmine kept on grinning from ear to ear stylishly.They were relaxing in the sitting room, as it was the weekend.“Mum, can you join me in my game if you don't mind?” Amanda interrupted the lovey-dovey moments Jack and Jasmine were having together.“I will join you soon, you can go back to your room, babygirl,” Jasmine hastily replied and Amanda winked excitedly at her and left.Not long after Amanda left, one of the housekeepers came by. “Good day, young master. Someone is here to see you, and she said her name is Nancy."With raised, angry-looking brows, Jack turned and said to the housekeeper, “Tell her to leave at once and never to step foot here.” Looking so bitter, like he just heard terrible news, he added inwardly, “I wonder who showed her the way to my house.”Jasmine tapped him gently on his lap. “Darling, that was a bit harsh. Please hear her out first.”“There is nothing wr

    Jack and Blade were watching the news of Richard's jail sentence.Before then, Jack had made sure that Mark was set free just like they had agreed, even though the police finally came to rescue him. But then he remembered that Mark almost got into trouble just because the latter wanted to help him save his daughter and Jasmine, if he had agreed to do what he wished.He didn't stop at making sure that Mark escaped; he also ensured that Mark's grandmother was sent to the best hospital for proper medication treatment.That was the least he could do for himself at the time.Mark in turn appreciated him, and Jack offered him the sum of money he needed to set up a business.“I never saw you as this happy, young master.” Blade commented.“Of course, I need to be happy. Knowing I don't have to worry about anything ever again. At least now, Mr. Moe, Mr. Andrew, and now Richard are all in jail, and I will make sure they rot in jail for all I care.”Jack misquoted, coming from a completely diff

    “Jack.” The words got choked in his throat. Everyone in the city knew about the latest Jack Ford. The once-hidden CEO of Agron Incorporation had decided to pipe down all this time.He knew that if it's true, then the person right before him held immense power, more than even the president of the state, and the incorporation thrived powerfully.But then Mark couldn't believe what he heard. With a smirk, he said, “You think you can fool me, right?”“Believe it or doubt it at your own risk.’ but their business thrived.Then the realization that it should be true hit Mark: was he the same person he heard had decided to keep a low profile along?Mark fell on his face immediately at Jack's feet. “Please, I beg you, spare them. Please,” he pleaded, and Jack stood up, as it was obvious he was unmoved by his gesture. He knew he couldn't fall so cheap as he was sure that Mark was only being a cheap hypocrite, he thought as he walked to the west side of the room, examining the view properly.“D

    Just then, the captain's phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. He looked down at his pants, where his phone was, and then immediately went back to Jack.“I will advise you to pick up that call; you might be saving a life. Who knows.” Jack teased with mocking looks and enjoyed the helpless expression on the captain's face.The captain hastily picked up the call, and it was quite a familiar voice that he heard.“Mr. Mark…” The caregiver he had employed to take care of his grandmother's voice came through as if it were vibrating.“Mrs. Joy,” The captain called out to confirm the voice he just heard.The captain's eyes widened in shock as the pistol he held earlier fell from his hand, while Jack gave him a condensed look of confirmation.“You fool,” he muttered, but he could be heard as he watched the captain finish his call.As soon as he got off the phone, he turned to Jack and said, “Don't let your men touch my grandmother.
