Alaric's head pounded on a roll, and he felt his body ache all over, sending strong waves of pain constantly weakening his bones. He groaned, and rolled a little, before attempting to open his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes, his vision blurry and his body aching. He tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, making him wince in pain. The haziness in his sight started to diminish, and he could see well the white ceiling of an unknown place. He rolled his eyes at every corner. This was a bizarre place, and he saw someone beside him. He shook, startled a little, and took a closer look at who it was - a man. The man was letting out sobs, and he recognized him as Steve. Alaric knew it was Steve immediately he took a closer look, and he got agitated. "What? Where am I? Where is this place?" He asked, still oblivious to his surroundings. Steve raised his head slowly. His eyes were swollen like he had been crying for a very long time, and Alaric was shocked at t
Steve looked at Alaric with a confused face. He didn't know what he was up to, and why he was suddenly asking for the account information and assets of Mr. Jefferson. That was going to be a very hard task. "If I may ask, what do you need all that information for, young master? I'm not sure if I will be able to get that, because Mr. Jefferson is no longer under us. Everything won't be the same as it was, and probably all his account books would have been destroyed or deleted from every computer," Steve explained calmly. "I thought you said that he once worked under us? Isn't there a possibility that we can get the info from there?" Alaric asked, with strong determination running through him. "Yes, Young Master. He once worked under us. He however had a company of his own, which wasn't so stable, so he was the managerial head of one of our branches, but we had to let go of him because he breached the contract agreement," Steve said. Alaric nodded. "What did he do? Why was the cont
Alaric brought out his phone from his pocket. He looked up at Sasha's number and thought about her. He was worried about her health, and what she might be like, but then, he couldn't forget his motive. No matter what, he needed to get rid of everyone. There was no one as an exception, and everyone who hurt him needed to pay for it. His eyes rolled to the side. Luckily, Steve had brought his laptop for business purposes. This way, it was going to be way easier. "If I can get through Mr. Jefferson's Account, and use the details from the records at Dustin Firms, then maybe Norton and Arnold's information would be there too. He said he was going to pass his business down to someone, which means he had already registered their accounts," he muttered to himself, thinking deeply about it. The picture was finally clear and he knew what he needed to do. His phone rang. It was Evelyn calling. "Yes, Evelyn," he answered, as he picked up the call. "Oh, young master. I've been trying to
"What do you mean by that, Evelyn? Don't you know about Mr. Jefferson?" Alaric asked, quite confused. He thought that Evelyn, his secretary who had been working with the Wright Empire long before he was proclaimed the CEO would know about Mr. Jefferson, Norton's father, but nothing but pure mystery just seems to circle the whole situation. "That is not the case, young master. I'm not sure if I know about Mr. Jefferson's deal with Dustin Firms, but I do know that he was the managerial head of the firm consisting of so many engineering industries," she said. "Do you know anything else about Mr. Jefferson? What he was doing, and why he was the managerial head? Do you know anything about his deal with my father?" Alaric asked, quite desperate to know the truth behind everything. "I don't know about that, Young Master. I have not always been a personal assistant, so I am not sure about Sir Wright's deals with partners. However, I only know that Mr. Jefferson merged his company with Du
"Did you just say 100 million dollars?" Alaric asked, surprised by what Steve said. There was no way he just heard $100 million! That was a huge sum of money that Norton's father took from the company! "Yes, young master. That's right. It's about a hundred million dollars that he embezzled, and he managed to do it while he was the head of Dustin Firms. He took it to his advantage, and was able to duck out some money out of the Wright Empire's monetary source," Steve explained. "How did he do that? Didn't anyone else know about this? How come he was taking money and no one suspected it?" Alaric asked, not sure if the whole story was true." "Unfortunately, he didn't do it all by himself. He had some people to help him carry out the plan, and together they perfectly scheduled how to shorten budget capital, and increase expenditure," Steve said. "How many people helped him in his crime? Where are they now? They need to be punished!" Alaric said, almost yelling, and he was furious.
"What did you say, young Master?" Steve asked Alaric, staring at him with a bedazzled and confused expression on his face. "You heard it right, Steve. Those people must pay for whatever they did. You have the network of most of the Wright Empire at the palms of your hands. Even though you don't work for Wright Empire and get involved in financial issues, I know you as one of the best workers for both the family and the company, so it shouldn't be hard for you to do, Steve," he said. "I don't understand, Young Master. I'm not sure if we can access Mr. Jefferson's account, and it could be very hard for us to take all the money in it," Steve said, apologizing. "I know it should work. Your influence and connections are enough to do the job. Make sure to contact our Network and Communications team, and find the best hacker for it. Give him the documents gotten from Dustin Firms. I won't be the one to take the money from his account. Employ the best hacker in our office to do it," Alaric
"No, young master. As I said, it wasn't proven, and they didn't work at Dustins. Rumors are that his sons are very skilled in data analyzing and processing, so they were able to brilliantly plot a scheme to carry out the plan," Steve said. Alaric's eyes widened as he heard those words. Just as he was about to figure out the entire truth about Mr. Jefferson, there were so many things that didn't unravel yet.It was beginning to look complex, and he knew that he had to know more about Norton and his family."What is the occupation of his two sons?" "I heard the second is still in college. That's Norton Jeff. He is also a star footballer and plays for many schools. He has a nice reputation, as I think, and his brother, Arnold…" he paused, probably thinking of what to say."What happened? What is the occupation of the first son? What does he do?""I think I have said this before…""You have told me about it? I'm not sure I can remember," Alaric replied."I'm sorry, Young Master. I forgo
"Why did you do that, Evelyn?" Lucas asked with a pitiful, yet disgusted face. Evelyn moved backward. "Don't come closer, Lucas. I will make sure to tell my boss about your scandals. You are a bad person who wants to ruin our company. I will make sure you pay for your crimes, and everything you have done in the past," she said. He smirked and laughed hysterically. "Come on, Evelyn. Will you act like a grown-up for once? I don't know what you're talking about. You're talking like a little baby whose mother has left her a long time ago. Ah yes, you're an orphan, right? Just sounds right. I bet your dad isn't proud of who you are," Lucas taunted. Evelyn slapped him across the face and pointed a finger at him. "Don't you dare say anything about my family, Lucas? You can say all you want about me but don't dare involve any of my parents. Have respect for the dead," she said. Lucas hissed at her and rubbed his cheeks. "It seems like you won't understand readily. Do I have to always
