“You care to have a drink with us, love?” Mr. Moe asked his wife. Nelly isn't a fan of alcoholic drinks, but because Mr. Andrew is her kind of man, she decided to stay around.“Of course, sweet,” she replied, and she came to where the two men were and casually sat beside her husband to avoid any form of suspicion from him.Mrs. Nelly called the attention of one of the housekeepers and asked him to serve her a glass of wine, as the ones that were served to the men were alcoholic.“This is my wife, my dear friend,” Mr. Moe introduced Mrs. Nelly. “And then, Nelly, this is a good friend of mine, like I referred to him already. He is Mr. Andrew.”“Ok, darling. It seems like he is a new friend of yours, darling.” She asked.“Yeah, it's barely been 2 months, but we interact so well, like we’ve known ourselves for ages.” Mr Moe responded.“Nice meeting you,” Mrs. Nelly brought out her hand for a shake, and then Mr. Andrew complimented the gesture as he returned the shake.“Same here,” Mr. An
“Yes, boss,” he said, he is representing a group of highly discerning investors who are quite impressed with Agron Incorporation's acquisitions." Jasmine narrated.Jasmine later went to see Jack the next day, as they had agreed on the previous day.“I see, that's quite interesting. So how sure are you about them?”“I went through their profile, and it has everything needed to give high returns if they end up investing in us. In other words, they have a very attractive investment package.”“That's fine; so far, it's coming from you. You have been in this for years, and you have a handful of experience.”Jasmine felt flattered by the words from Jack; aside from that, she was also happy that he gave his approval without stress. “Thank you, sir. So, you can look through the proposal for your approval.”“You must have done that, so I doubt that would make any difference, and so it wouldn't be necessary; just try to get in touch with the lawyer so that he can prepare the legal documentation
“Wow, that was fast. I never knew the useless man had vulnerabilities in its internal controls and financial reporting.” Mr. Moe commented the moment Mr. Joe handed over to him the soft copy of the financial statement on an external hard drive.Mr. Moe knew that since Jack owns and runs an accounting firm, he definitely must be the one to release the incorporation’s financial statements.He had invited Mr Joe over to his mansion after the latter let him know that he had gotten hold of the financial statement.“But again, be careful not to raise red flags. Remember that subtlety is key. Your actions have to appear legitimate and also be hidden within the complexities of the incorporation system,” he added.“Noted, sir. I strictly apply careful measures, and that's why everything has been going this smoothly, sir.”“You are doing a fantastic job, and I won't deny you your accolades,” Mr. Moe complimented.Mr. Joe felt a little flattered and said, “Thank you, sir,” and then decided to as
Jasmine tapped through the computer keys placed on her officer's table, her eyes glued to the screen. She heard a slight knock on her door. “Yes, come in,” she responded.She had been informed a few minutes ago by her secretary that Mr. Joe was here to see her.Since Mr. Joe is now an investor in the corporation, he doesn't need to book a special appointment before coming. She only needs to call Jasmine over the phone and come or get to the incorporation while Jasmine’s secretary announces his arrival.Mr. Joe, on his end, luckily got access to one of the guys who worked at the IT unit.Thank goodness, it was a bit easier than he had earlier envisaged. This person has promised to work with him, and Mr. Joe, in return, has offered him a considerable sum and even promised him more if he keeps everything to himself as much as he can. He was so excited that gaining access to the inner space was accomplished.So, he was looking all delighted, knowing that getting the company stock informat
Just like a flash, Mr. Joe was already at Mr. Moe’s place.As usual, one of the house aides announced Joe’s arrival to Mr. Moe, and the latter asked the aide to let Mr. Joe in.Mr. Moe was having some nice discussions with Jasper on something interestingly private when Mr. Joe walked into his favorite space.“You look so excited, and this way, I am quite sure there is good news. Please let me know what the good news is all about,” Mr. Moe said the moment he sighted Mr. Joe approaching his usual spot, used for the entertainment of guests and relaxation.This was no time for exchanging pleasantries; Mr. Joe went straight to the point of excitement. “Of course, there is good news, sir.”He had a hard drive with him, and he had already transferred the file on the stock statement Jasmine had sent to her to the hard drive.“This is the incorporation’s stock information,” he said as he handed it to Mr. Moe.“Great, this is splendid.” Mr. Moe collected the hard drive and then abruptly remembe
“Good day, ma’am,” the chief of the IT department of the incorporation greeted as soon as he got into Jasmine’s office.“Please do have a seat,” Jasmine said as she gestured to him.“Thank you.”“What is the problem? I hope we are not about to experience a network glitch,” Jasmine teased as she still wondered what must have brought the chief of the IT department to her office unexpectedly this afternoon. “How is work going from your end?” Jasmine went ahead to ask.He smiled and replied, “Very well, ma’am. Thank you. I have something to disclose to you,” the man said.Jasmine lent her ear as she understood what must have brought the man to her office; it should be something significant.“I am all ears; go on,” Jasmine replied with her eyes fixed on him.“There is this man identified as the latest investor we have here.”With that, Jasmine’s interest peaked. Trying to connect the relationship between Mr. Joe and their employee.“What is wrong with him?”“Well, one of the boys had repor
As Jasmine grabbed her phone to dial Jack’s number, her heart raced. What Jack had said to her earlier and given her instructions on, was beginning to surface.Anyway, it was not her fault. At first, everything looked great—a productive and profitable investment—but they were all falling apart from being a truly successful investment. Now, a tiny mischief and greedy scheme about Mr. Joe had caught her eye, and it all started to make sickening sense to her.Just as the phone rang so it could get connected to Jack, her heart beat increased its pacing, and her pulse quickened.Simultaneously, at Jack’s office, he tapped away at his keyboard, his brow furrowed in concentration as he kept accessing some financial auditing of his clients. His fingers flew across the keyboard, navigating through some financial data.He noticed his phone was ringing and picked it up. “Hello, Jasmine,” he answered cautiously.Jasmine couldn't speak at first as her gut churned with a mixture of fear and determi
Not so long after Jack was off the call with Jasmine. He picked up the phone from the table where he had placed it, so he he can dial a number from his contact list.As usual, being his right-hand man, Blade was the only one he could confidently call in moments like this.And you know, the good thing is that he is always eager to help, and not just that, but returns with a perfect, helpful result.Immediately after Blade picked up the call, his voice could be heard from the other end: "Good day, boss.”“Same to you,” Jack responded, and went straight to the point: “I need every detail about Mr. Joe.” He said, his voice firm.Initially, Blade had wanted to do that even before now, but Jack had stopped him, stating that it had not been called for.But notwithstanding, Blade didn't question any of those things; he only had the urge to know why the sudden change of mind occurred.“Boss, why did you finally accept that I should do this?”“Mr. Joe had finally made a visible attempt,” Jack r
“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
