Ashley then remembered something she wanted to tell Jack. After taking a grateful sip of coffee, she knocked gently on Jack's office door. The door opened slowly, revealing Jack who was sitting behind his desk. His tense face loosened a little when he saw Ashley."Please, come in," said Jack in a calm voice.Ashley entered the office and stood in front of Jack's neatly arranged desk. The room was filled with the smell of fresh coffee from the new papers piled on Jack's desk.In a cautious and worried voice, Ashley began to speak, "Jack, there is something I need to tell you. A few days ago, Gordon Hawthorne was released from prison and the case was closed once again." Her voice was low, like she was approaching a big secret that could explode at any time.Jack's face showed a hint of surprise, but he remained calm. He recalled some intense meetings he had had with Hawthorne in the past. Jack could already guess that Gordon's parents would do anything to get Gordon out of prison. Lana
The next day, Jack prepared to face an important meeting at the land agency regarding Green Diamond Village. He would go there with Ashley, Joshua, Xavier, and several other team members. They had prepared all the necessary data since the day before, trying to put together a strong argument to defend this project. Jack felt a little worried because currently there was no concrete evidence to show that the incident was sabotage. However, they have strong evidence that the use of raw materials for the collapsed building did not comply with established quality and safety standards.“I'm sorry, Mr. Ashworth. This was my carelessness, so I didn't know there was an error in using raw materials," said Xavier.“I am also guilty, Mr. Ashworth, because I am responsible for quality control," added Joshua.They were still talking about the collapsed building at the last second before leaving for the land agency.“I appreciate your confession, but for me, this is still strange. It seems strange fo
After the good news, Jack felt the huge burden that had been pressing on his shoulders for several days finally lifted. Two weeks, even though it seems fast, is a very valuable time. This is a crucial period where they must maintain the quality of Green Diamond Village.When you enter the office, the atmosphere changes. The air felt lighter, and smiles began to appear on the faces of his team. Jack spoke animatedly to them, giving them credit for the hard work they had done. The inspection plan was neatly laid out, and the team worked diligently, checking every detail, and ensuring that no small aspect was overlooked.However, when Jack passed Martina Torre's office, his eyes took in every detail of the room. A room with old wooden walls that gives a strong impression and a classic feel that decorates the corners. Martina looks busy behind her magnificent desk, facing the computer screen seriously. The room exuded an aura of power that could not be ignored.Accidentally, Jack heard Ma
Jack sat at his office desk with a serious expression, trying to carry out his deep considerations. In the chaos that was surrounding him, his memories returned to conversations with Diana, especially about Daniel and his alleged involvement with the mafia. It was potentially very valuable information that he had yet to fully explore, and he knew he had to take it more seriously.However, his memories also reminded him of the promise he made to Diana. The girl's grandfather needs a bone marrow donor, and Jack must carry out this mission without attracting too much attention. Diana once told him how difficult it was for her to find a donor for her grandfather, especially because Daniel was blocking it. This was the pressure tool that Daniel used to force Diana to marry him. Jack has promised to help Diana get out of this problem.Jack remembered this promise when he called one of his bodyguards, Rick Hassan, who was always on guard outside the office door. Rick walks in with an ever-re
That night, Jack left the office and headed to his mansion in the bulletproof car he had previously ordered. His bodyguards accompanied him to ensure his safety.Before Jack entered the car, the bodyguards carried out a thorough inspection of the vehicle and all its contents. They operate with precision and efficiency, ensuring there are no hidden threats."We have checked everything and it is safe, Mr. Ashworth. "Please get into the car immediately," said one of the bodyguards."Thank you," said Jack.Jack sat in the back seat. He felt exhaustion approaching him quickly. The long hours and stress of all the events of the day were starting to take their toll.As the car drove through the quiet city streets, Jack almost fell asleep. His body felt heavy and his eyes began to close.Suddenly, a telephone ringtone broke the silence. Jack woke up with a start, his heart beating fast. He held his phone and looked at the screen to see who was calling him.When the name on the screen filled h
Jack continued his journey back to his mansion with his thoughts disturbed. He knew Suzzane was waiting for him on the street on purpose, and that couldn't mean anything other than Suzzane trying to spy on him. Questions swirled in his mind, whether Suzzane just wanted to chase him back or there was a bigger plan behind it all. Jack also couldn't get rid of his worries about Diana. He knew that Diana was in trouble, and he had to quickly find a way to help him.However, today his body felt very tired, his mind was drained by all the events that had happened. He decided to rest for a while in his mansion until morning arrived. Maybe with a fresh mind, he can find a solution to overcome all the problems that are pressing on him.Meanwhile, Suzzane, who was left on the street, reached into her bag and took out her phone with shaking movements. She called someone who sounded serious on the other end of the phone. "I've tried, but I failed to approach Jack," said Suzzane in a voice full of
The bartender handed Jack a glass of cold scotch, which he took gratefully. Jack stared at his drink for a moment before turning back to the bartender with a polite smile. "Thank you," said Jack.The friendly bartender smiled and started a conversation. "So, is this your first time coming here?" he asked, trying to find out more about the guest in front of him.Jack nodded, indicating that this was his first visit to the club tonight. "Yeah, the first time," said Jack.The bartender continued pleasantly, "Want to meet someone special, huh? A pretty lady, perhaps?" He looked at several beautiful women dressed up around the club, probably hoping it would be a romantic rendezvous for Jack.However, Jack shook his head slowly, revealing that his goal was not related to the beautiful woman in the club. “No, that's not what I'm looking for,” he said. "I actually don't know whether the person I'm looking for is male or female."The bartender became a little confused by the comment. "Oh, is t
The woman stared at Jack sharply, her eyes unblinking. "I need proof that you are not a police officer," she said in a calm but firm voice. Jack nodded in understanding. "I'm Jack Ashworth, a businessman," he said in a steady voice. He tries to present his identity with confidence. "Perhaps you have heard my name before, especially in the context of several scandals such as at Green Diamond Village." However, the woman just shook her head, her face showing ignorance. "Sorry, I've never heard of Jack Ashworth before." Jack sensed a hint of confusion. Perhaps his identity was not yet well known in the circles in which this woman operated. He had to think quickly and offer something that could win The Trader's trust. "In my bag, you will find proof that I am not a cop," said Jack, his voice steady. "I brought the patient's letter. He needs a donor." The woman looked at Jack for a moment, then nodded briefly. "Show me." Jack opened his small bag carefully and took out a sealed envelo
