“You mean the young man owns that car?” Mrs. Winifred didn't hesitate a moment to ask them—Nick and Jasmine—immediately. They got back after seeing Jack off.“Mum, I am sure you have harbored this question for the longest time, but please…”Mrs. Winifred cut Jasmine off immediately. “I don't know the exact amount of the car, but I know that it's one of the most expensive cars in the world now. I watch the news, and I get updated, even though not as often as you guys.” She continued to express how surprised she was; she couldn't even hide it.“I was almost tempted to tell Jack about what you told me about Richard, but I knew that would only make him feel himself. After all, the person I practically used to rub against his face deals in hard drugs,” Mrs. Winifred added.She was so flabbergasted because what she had thought was a poor man turned out to be a very wealthy man in disguise. She was convinced that no poor man would drive such an exquisite car, not even on rent.“It's better y
Mr. Moe got back from his wife’s place; it is safe to call her his wife, as they have agreed to get back together as a couple. Ms. Nelly gave him her word that she would come back to the house soon.Mr. Moe let her know that he still loved her so much, and that was why he suggested she come back to the back.At first, for some reason, she was reluctant, but after some time, she accepted, but on the condition that she would love to visit her house from time to time. No one was staying in it, and she wasn't willing to sell the house either.Her conditions were fine with Mr. Moe; it didn't seem to be a problem as long as Nelly had accepted to go by his will.Jasper didn't go with Mr. Moe, as the former claimed he was busy with the findings of getting to know who was behind Richard’s arrest. So Mr. Moe went with just one of his drivers.Mr. Moe was a wealthy man who had every material thing he wanted at his disposal.Think of cars; he has flashes of them. He dispenses a lot by the day wi
In the bustling courtroom, Richard Alex stood at the defendant’s table at the center of a legal court. His heart was pounding like a drum in his chest as he felt the suffocating weight of guilt and uncertainty bearing down on him.He hasn't gotten any updates from his dad lately, as he was denied access. Again, he could also see the same woman he had never approved to be his dad’s wife, as the judge.But Mr. Moe was well convinced that everything would go as planned, and he tried to maintain a steady, unfazed look.Jack, on his end, couldn't wait for the case to come to an end so that Richard would be jailed.The prosecutor, Barrister Lucas Joseph, stood tall and imposing, his voice reverberating off the walls as he presented his case.“I present to you Exhibit A,” Barrister Joseph declared, gesturing toward the video screen. “Clear evidence of the defendant's involvement in the illegal trafficking of narcotics.”Richard squirmed at the spot where he stood as the video played, showing
“Richard, you are leaving the country with immediate effect. I think your movement is being monitored by someone; that was why it was a bit easier for the airport director to carry out such a task,” Mr. Moe continued to bellow nonstop. “Can't you see the way it was a bit difficult for the airport director to defend the case as an eyewitness in court when our lawyer questioned him? To the best of my knowledge, he is acting under an influence, but I don't even know who this person is.”“About that, dad. There is something I would like to discuss with you on that,” Richard said.“What is that, my son?”“Did you notice any young man who kept grinning from ear to ear while the case just began, as he thought I would lose the case as expected with the level of evidence they got?”Having no clue what his son wanted to say, Mr. Moe only wanted to continue what he was discussing with him. To him, he felt Richard was interrupting him. “My dear, I didn't take note of anyone in particular; my maj
At the same interval, Jack stepped into his mansion after he parked his car in the garage. His face wore a heavy frown, with his brow furrowed in deep thought and his lips pressed into a tight line.He didn't get to the house straight from the court. He had gone to play some tennis, even in the sweltering heat, just to know if he could cool his already tense nerves down. But that didn't work out as the tension in him remained unmoved, so he decided to head home, although Blade had been calling him, and he had refused to pick up his call.“Young master, what is wrong?” Blade inquired as his boss looked troubled the moment he saw him. “I hope you are fine.” Concern was evident in his voice as he stood not far from Jack, in the living room.Jack simply ignored him and made his way to his room, his footsteps heavy with frustration and disappointment. Blade had to trail him from behind, determined to get some answers.As soon as they got to the room, Blade couldn't hold back any longer. “Y
“Daddy, I know that I like money, but it's not always about the money. You slapped me, and since then, you act like nothing happened,” Nancy snapped angrily. She was with her dad, Mr. Andrew, who tried to make her see how sorry he was and that he was ready to offer her help.Scott has brought Mr. Andrew to Nancy’s place, and he asked Scott to go back to the house, stating that he would call the former to come to pick him up when he was done. So he wouldn't keep him waiting, as he has insinuated he would spend much time at her daughter’s place, as he knew it's likely to take time to make up with her daughter, Nancy.“I am so sorry about that; you have to forgive me, please. I know I overreacted, but I wasn't in a good mood either. You know I love you, and I won't do anything intentionally to hurt you, my girl,” Mr. Andrew went on to preach to her.“It's fine; I forgive you, but you won't get it this cheap next time because it seems to me you do it intentionally. Remember, this is not t
Jack just got back from work that evening, while Blade was at their usual spot for relaxation, so he sighted Jack first and waved at him to come over.Jack went inside the house first, so as soon as one of the housekeepers met Jack in the sitting room, he took his boss's suit and his briefcase to keep them.He went straight to meet Blade. “Good evening, Blade,” the prior greeted.“Good evening, young master. Not long after I got back, since I knew you would be back soon, I decided to wait for you here. I really had a long day, so I might sleep off before I know if I had gone to my room the moment I got back,” Blade narrated.“It's fine. So how did it go? I hope you were able to get something solid.”“Of course I did. You know, I have been on this for the whole day,” a grim-faced Blade reported."Ok, then, spill it out at once, my dear.”“There are a lot; some seem like twists because it's quite unbelievable. Well, foremost, when I met Barrister Lucas, he told me that he feels Richard’
“Good day, sir,” Jasper greeted Mr. Moe, whom he met at the formal reception room for guests, which can be referred to as the Drawing Room. Mr. Moe was expecting Mr. Andrew, as they would have a brief meeting that very day.“How are you, Jasper? Any news so far?” “Yes, boss, this is Jack's picture,” Jasper said, placing a copy of the picture he had in his hand on the table.“That is alright; you did well." Mr. Moe took the picture, took a glance at it, and involuntarily nodded, then placed it back on the table. “Don't tell me that is all you got in the probing so far,” he asked worriedly. Just the thoughts of this very Jack alone were humiliating to Mr. Moe.“No, sir, there is more. I gave out the picture first because you demanded it. Funny enough, it will interest you that Jack is the heir to Agron Incorporation, although he uses his accounting firm as an edge to keep a low profile. He is the only surviving grandchild of the late Lord Rock, as Jack’s mother is his only daughter.”F
“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 saw that as an opportunity to at least express what he feels for Amanda, as he had initially given her the impression that Amanda was the one who needed her more.But right now, he could feel he needs Jasmine more in his life, even more than Amanda does, and he wouldn't miss this moment to prove it.Thank goodness that none of them lost their lives, especially Amanda, as she was on the verge of losing it while they got to the hospital, but Mercy said no.Jack had spent over an hour in the kitchen just to make steaks, mac 'n' cheese, and fruit salad.Amanda had requested it, and since love needs to be expressed by going out of one's way to get things done,.He had to do it, even though he doesn't enjoy being in the kitchen, hoping Jasmine would enjoy it as well.Jack called out, "My two babies, dinner is ready."Amanda's room was occupied by both Jasmine and Amanda.Even though there was a lot of room at Jack's residence, Amanda and Jasmine can't be separated, at least not now tha
After Jasmine and Amanda were discharged from the hospital, they were both brought back to Jack's house, as the doctor had instructed that they needed proper attention and love more than any other time.Jack saw that as an opportunity to at least express what he feels for Amanda, as he had initially given her the impression that Amanda was the one who needed her more.But right now, he could feel he needs Jasmine more in his life, even more than Amanda does, and he wouldn't miss this moment to prove it.Thank goodness that none of them lost their lives, especially Amanda, as she was on the verge of losing it while they got to the hospital, but Mercy said no.Jack had spent over an hour in the kitchen just to make steaks, mac 'n' cheese, and fruit salad.Amanda had requested it, and since love needs to be expressed by going out of one's way to get things done,.He had to do it, even though he doesn't enjoy being in the kitchen, hoping Jasmine would enjoy it as well.Jack called out, "M
From what he could read, he could sense that something was happening behind his nose.Could it be that Mark was bargaining with Jack on the instructions that were given to him or something?The thought of it made him almost go wacko, as no one crosses that line and gets free with him.Even if not immediately, he would certainly make sure the person went down 6 feet below.Richard pulled out his gun from his pocket and placed it on Mark's head. I gave you instructions on what to do, and you dare try to do otherwise?” He blurted it out angrily.“You pull that trigger on that guy's head,” he instructed one of his boys that followed him inside while looking in Jack's direction, to show who he was referring his boy to.“Then you,” he said, gesturing to the other person, “go to bring his daughter and side chick where they are kept.”As soon as the guy left to get Jasmine and Amanda out, he said, “Hold on, don't pull the trigger yet.” He quickly instructed the first guy he had asked to shoot
“What is going on here? I ask again.” Richard shouted at the top of his voice this time.From what he could read, he could sense that something was happening behind his nose.Could it be that Mark was bargaining with Jack on the instructions that were given to him or something?The thought of it made him almost go wacko, as no one crosses that line and gets free with him.Even if not immediately, he would certainly make sure the person went down 6 feet below.Richard pulled out his gun from his pocket and placed it on Mark's head.

“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. She is all that I have!” The captain started with a loud voic
Blade was at home, ordering one or two things from his end via phone calls.Although he was on and off the house as needed after Jack had left, as he made sure everything was under control.One of the boys that works for him had come to report to him about what was going on so far.The report wasn't perfect compared to what he had planned in his head, but one thing was to plan, and another which is the main thing is making it go exactly as planned.Blade was busy contacting the police too, so as to keep tabs with them as he tried to make sure they didn't fail him at this moment when he needed them most.It's a matter of life and death, and everyone has their own part to play, just to leave no stone unturned.He also wished that Jack, Amanda, and Jasmine would be safe as they had planned, but it depends on how perfect the operation is.If not, with the way assassins sometimes work, they might end up killing everyone if things don't go their way or if they aren't stopped in the right ma
