"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
"What? Are you willing to take this to the next level, and even involve my family? Is that how much of an evil person you are, Lucas?" She asked, with tears brimming in her eyes. She hissed, and gnashed his teeth, clenching his fists tightly."Now don't try to emotionally blackmail me with those fake tears. I have made up my mind to get you back by all means possible, and I won't fall for that if you're trying to escape from my trap. No matter what, you are going to be with me again and help me with my job. It's been a very long time since you got your hands dirty. It should be boring, I think," he said, exploding in a grin. She shook her head in disbelief and disgust for him. She didn't know that Lucas could do this, and he just proved himself right now, by even wanting to involve her family, over his stupid obsession with her."You don't really want me back, Lucas. You just want to use me like you have always been doing, and the same way you did in the past, but I'm not falling fo
"Young master, can I come in?" Steve asked, knocking on the door. Alaric put aside his phone and ordered Steve to come into the room."Yes, come in," he said, and the door immediately opened. Steve walked into the room, with his usual stick in hand."Young Master, it is time. I have already discussed this with the hacker from our N&C and he will be meeting with you. He is pleased to have you talk to him, and I believe he will do a very good job. I told him to meet us at a diner, and he would have gone there already, so I came to call you," Steve informed. Alaric nodded and rubbed his eyes."Oh, very good," he said and yawned."Did you have a good sleep, Young Master?" Steve asked, noticing Alaric's drowsy eyes. "Me? No. I didn't sleep at all. I thought that I'd fall into a deep sleep and not be able to wake up in time to meet with the hacker, so I had to make sure not to sleep. I was going through some things on my phone," he said."Young master, you need to rest. It wouldn't be g
The car pulled up at a diner that loomed in the distance. Alaric's eyes rolled to the side of the car, and he could see through the glass that there weren't so many people at the diner. It was going to be perfect for talking out things privately. "Young master, we are here. This is the diner that I prepared for you to meet with Alex," Steve informed.Alaric nodded. "I can see. It looks good from the outside. Maybe you must have picked a very nice spot," he praised. Steve smiled. "I will take that as a rare compliment from the young master. We should go inside. I guess Alex must have arrived here before us. I need that he wouldn't miss this kind of meeting, because I told him it was you, the young master, who was going to meet with him.""I hope you have kept to the time. Don't worry we will find out," Alaric said, and stepped out of the car. Steve stepped out of the car too and walked up to him. "It's this way, Young Master," Steve said, gesturing the way for Alaric to go. A
"Okay, Young Master. I will do as you have told me. Today, I will hack into Mr. Jefferson's account, and then, I will inform you when I do it. I will go by your order, and make sure not to leave anything when you give me the permission," Alex said, confident in his abilities. Alaric smiled, impressed. He knew Alex was right for the job, and Alex wasn't sounding any less capable. "When can I hear the good news that the work is done? I need to handle some other things, so I have to know the time when I will be expecting your call. How long will it take to hack into Mr. Jefferson's account with all the info I gave to you?" Alaric asked Alex. Alex did some thinking and calculation, before finally arriving at an answer. "I think it will be done before midnight. It shouldn't take as long as that, but in case I face any challenges, then it will take a few hours. Don't worry, young master, I'm sure that you will hear the good news before you know it. It will be a surprise to you," he ass
