Eva slowly fiddled with her finger behind the desk, she forced a tight-lipped smile on her face before saying the next word. “Kelvin, you know that I am ready to do anything for you, but when it comes to this aspect, it is only your grandfather that is capable of helping you so I suggest that you stick to him for now”“That is what he thinks, but that is not true. There is someone else who can help me and you are the only one who can help me speak to him”Avery narrowed her eyes at him, trying to think of who he was talking about before she asked. “Don't tell me that it's Jason that you are talking about?”“You are right, Jason has so many powers and I don't see why he won't be able to help us”“I am sorry, but I don't think that is going to happen. He is not happy with you at all because he thinks that you have been going the rules of the underworld and when you abducted Avery, he almost got into trouble for it”“He must have forgotten about it; besides, he can't continue to remain a
Adrian was able to make it on time to the gold club where Mr. Chad was playing some golf game alone.“Adrian Wesley!” Mr. Chad called out his name in a loud tone and it felt like he had talking about Adrian to his friends just now.“Mr .Chad, I am sorry for keeping you waiting”“Of course it is nothing, I was just talking to my friends right now about how busy you can be”“That is not the case, I just happened to have encountered a minor accident on my way here”“Are you alright?” Mr. Chad asked as he stared at the man from head to toe.“Yes I am doing alright, it was just a minor accident” Adrian responded and while he did, he was staring at the man who was in his late sixties. And some things were starting to make sense to Adrian as to why this man would invest a huge amount of money on Maxton corporation just after they had just recovered from a huge debt.But right now, Adrian could get his answer, the moment he arrived there, the place felt so dark, his heart throbbing heavily a
Adrian strode out of there and hurried back to the car where Klein was waiting for him. “How did it go?”“Not as I expected but I was able to clear my doubt”“Your doubt?” Klein seemed more confused. He could not tell why Adrian had gone to see this man in the first place knowing that he did not need the investment from them neither were the other members of the family going to accept it.“I guess that you were not there for an investment in the first place?” Klein asked while staring at him through the front mirror, and he nodded his head.“Let's go back to the office, other things are waiting for me to be done”“What about Mr. Smith? Won't you handle him, or are you waiting until he makes his next attack?”“Today was not an attack, that was just me being careless and losing concentration in my cultivation, that is to say, I have learned my lesson and I don't see it happening anytime soon again”“Okay, if you say so, I trust your judgment.” Klein nodded his head as he steered out of
Adrian was back home just in time for dinner, but he was more surprised to see every member of the family dressed in a luxurious outfit like there was an event going on that he wasn't aware of.“Why is everyone all dressed up?” Adrian asked Claire while he stood next to her.“Freya's finance is coming over for dinner. Weren't you informed about it?”“Yes, I was, but it's just dinner; why are you all dressed?”“This is the Wesley family, Grandparents wouldn't want a situation where our ego is hurt in front of a stranger”“Oh, I see…. So this is a means of formality?”“Stop asking questions and go dressed up, you don't have much time”“Oh!” Adrian muttered as he stared at himself from head to toe. Considering that he was just coming back from work, he was all sweaty.He quickly drifted away from Claire and hurried upstairs. Adrian did not take much time in having his bath, dressed up in a luxurious suit and while he was getting ready, he recalled the fact that he had invited Avery and s
Adrian had made an effort to search for this man since Mr. Smith gave him the name Jason as the one that was controlling all of this.He had almost been traumatized when he was kidnapped and lost his powers and since then, Adrian assured himself that he wasn't going to let whoever was behind it go free when he found them.But standing right here, Adrian had never seen this man's face, but he was so certain that he was the one that he had been looking for all this while.Just when Adrian was about to speak again, Jason let go of Freya's arm and dashed out of there, Adrian did not hesitate as he rushed towards him.Every member of the family was confused and couldn't put into place what had just happened, so they all followed behind hoping that they would be able to get a good understanding of what had just happened.“Don't let him get out of here!” Adrian yelled out to the maximum number of security they had at the estate, hearing the order from Adrian, they all stood before Jason, poi
As soon as Avery was away from Adrian, he immediately pulled out his phone from his back pocket and placed a call to Fred.“Hello, boss!” Fred’s sleepy voice came through.“Why are you asleep this early?”“I was at a party and had a lot of drinks; why are you calling me? I thought you were supposed to be having a family dinner with your sister's fiance?”“Yes, that is what we all thought, but we got the surprise of our life when I found out that he was Jason”“Jason? What Jason are you talking about?”“The same Jason that we have been searching for all this while”“What!! How is that possible and how are you sure that he was the one?”“Because I felt him, he was trying to use his powers to get me confused, that way I did not realize that he was the one, but I was able to overcome him”“Did you catch him?”“No, we were all so surprised at that moment and he was able to escape”“Shit!”“Yes, which is why I need you guys, now that I know what he looks like, I think that we can be able to
Jason could not tell how long Eva had been standing there, but as soon as he ended the call, she was right before him. He had admired her from the first time she was introduced to him, especially after seeing how dangerous Kelvin yet she had agreed to work so diligently for him.“How did you get here so fast?” he grunted, seeing the smile on her face even while he was in a situation like this.“Because this is important, that is how I got here so fast”“And I am guessing that whatever this is has to do with Kelvin?”“He is all that I live for, everything that I do has to do with him”“What is that thing about him that barely gives you joy right now, you do realize that he is barely human at the moment”“I don't care; everything about him gives me joy,” she spoke nonchalantly as she went through the other side and hurried inside the car.“You sounded like a guy who was on a date with a girl when I called, but from what I can see, you are alone”“Yes, I was actually on a date a few hour
The next day, Adrian stormed to the office feeling so furious that he could barely get any winces of sleep as he stormed right to the private office where Ted and Fred had their hands on the computer.“Boss! Good morning!” They both rose to their feet as soon as they noticed his presence. But his presence was not the only thing that they could see.Ted and Fred had also noticed the deep frown on his lips coupled with the fact that he was properly dressed and his tie seemed to have been noted backward; Adrian’s hair was barely combed as it looked disheveled while his jaws were clutched.“Did you sleep backward last night?” Fred could not help but ask.“How could I get any sleep when this Jason guy made a mess of my sister? First, it was me that he had abducted; next, it was Avery that he planned with Kelvin and abducted. I almost lost Avery because of that incident, and now my sister. I think that I have had enough of his madness and can't take it any longer”“You are right, all this h
