"Lucas!" Alaric stated, and Steve took off his glasses. No way did he hear Lucas. Was the head of Wright Empire's Local Area Network and Communications team a criminal? The thoughts ran in his head. "Yes. Lucas. That was the name that Evelyn was constantly calling when she called me. I heard he works here, but I haven't even got to know him. I have only seen him once," he said. "Yes, Young Master. He works here, but I doubt that he would do something like that. I think Evelyn was right. I'm not sure that Lucas is capable of doing something like this. He has been working with us for way too long to be able to do something like that," Steve said. "Do you know him personally? You sound like it," Alaric uttered. "Yes, Young Master. I do know Lucas. He has worked with us for about five years now. He used to work with us before that time, but then, he had to leave for some reason, and when he came back, he was better than ever. Due to his skills and his competency, Sir Wright, your da
The next morning, about 6 am., Mr. Jefferson was in the Jeffersons Manor, reading his morning newspaper, and the entire servants of the house were doing their duties."Can someone bring me my morning coffee? I don't know why you guys delay it so much. I'm sure no one will take it seriously until they're fired. If I asked for my morning coffee one more time, then all of you should consider your jobs gone," he said. Immediately, a woman, middle-aged and somewhat beautiful, walked into the large living room. She had beautiful black hair that cascaded her face, and she was fair and had beautiful eyes. She was the wife of Mr. Jefferson, the matriarch of the Jeffersons Manor, and the mother of Norton and Arnold."Come on, love. Why would you say something like that? You know that all these servants are busy doing something, and you have always been efficient whenever we needed them. Come on, don't put some pressure on them," she said. Mr. Jefferson turned around to see the beautiful face
Arnold arrived at the café, looking at the sign that was visible from across the road. He crossed the road, and then, sighted Kimberly as she sat in a chair alone, waiting for him."Hi Kim," he greeted, as he walked into the café. She smiled when she saw him, but wiped it off immediately, knowing she was supposed to put on an angry face."Will you keep that pretty face like that? Come on, Kim. You know that this doesn't suit you. I'm sure that your parents don't know this ugly side because you have never shown it to them. Why are you doing this now? Will you be angry at me for long? Come on, you know that I can't live without you," he said and walked closer to her."Well, if you couldn't live without me, you wouldn't be so late. You're almost thirty minutes late. Come on, is this how you are? Always late?" She asked him, in surprise."Well, I told you that I had a lot of things to handle. Of course, I wouldn't be late if I wasn't busy," he said. "You know me. I won't miss an important
I don't know, but I think this is the work of an unknown hacker. No matter what, we have to find out the truth. We can't let him go free!" Norton said. Arnold couldn't come to terms with his grief. He was now going to be poor. No way, he thought. Never in his life had he imagined living in destitution. "At least, my parents are still wealthy. There is no need to fear," he muttered to himself. "Is Dad aware of this? I think we need to tell him about this, Arnold. What do you think? We can't just sit back and watch as our lives fall into ruin. I don't know how, but we must get it all back at all costs. I will make sure to find the person who did this, and make him pay," Norton swore. "I agree with you, Norton. We can't just sit back and do nothing, and watch while everything crumbles. We need to ask Dad about this. I'm sure that you will be able to help us. We need to unveil this mystery," Arnold concurred. "Alright. Put a call through to Dad, and tell me what his response is. I
Arnold drove to Jefferson's mansion, and stepped out of his car, rushing inside the mansion. He met the head servant, who was Matt. "Good morning, Master Arnold. Both your parents are currently receiving treatments in their room, and the doctor is checking on them," Matt informed. "Alright. Good. Follow me," Arnold ordered and climbed the stairs leading to the room upstairs. About 5 minutes later, Norton arrived at the mansion. He was breathing heavily, and ran into the house, looking for where his parents were. He met some servants of the house. "What happened? Where are my parents? I heard something happened to them. Tell me what's going on!" He yelled at them. They shook in fear, and looked at each other, burying their face downwards. "Yes, Young Master. You are right. Something happened. We don't know what happened, but as Sir Jeffersson was about to take his morning coffee, he received some message on his phone, and upon checking it, he started yelling. Your mother, the ma
Alaric was having a good sleep when his phone rang, and he opened his eyes to check who it was. Steve was the one calling, and luckily, he had woken him up. "Damn, did I sleep that long?" He asked, looking at the time on his phone. It was already about 25 minutes past seven o'clock in the morning, and he yawned. He picked up the call. "Hey Steve, what's up?" "Good morning, young master. From the sound of your voice, I could tell that I woke you up," he said. Alaric chuckled. "Yeah, I mean. I was still asleep, and I didn't even realize it was already seven o'clock in the morning. Yesterday was so hectic, so I was bound to sleep for a long time," he stated. "Oh, sorry for disturbing you, young master. I didn't mean to do that," he said. "No problem, Steve. I understand. Moreover, it was a blessing that you woke me up. I was so lost in deep sleep. Well, the doctor said to have a good rest, so that is what I was doing." "Oh, yeah. Lest I forget, how is your injury? Are you feeli
"When can I leave the hospital? I don't want to stay here for a very long time," Alaric said to the doctor who was in front of him. "I don't think that you are in a state to leave now, sir. You have to wait for a little more time. You just started treatment yesterday. Even if your injury wasn't so severe, you still lost a lot of blood and had a dagger in your stomach, so it required a 2-hour surgery, and you need to rest." "I was able to leave yesterday. Why can't that be permanent? I didn't experience many issues, and I was able to stand up on my feet. Don't worry, I will be alright. I just need to get the hell out of here. I have a lot of things to do, and I have scheduled many things on my radar," he tried explaining to the doctor. "Please sir, it's for your health. I beg you to stay in the hospital. We only allowed you yesterday because you said it was an emergency. We shouldn't have, but we did because you urged us. It was also risky, and it was a miracle that you could even ge
"Well, who is going without getting my permission?" A foreign, yet familiar voice shook the entire mansion. Everyone's eyes rolled at who spoke, and Mrs. Wright was surprised, the same look that Caroline wore too! It looks like they were all surprised, and Alaric couldn't understand what was going on. "Dad, you're here already?" Caroline asked, gasping, as she ran immediately to go and hug the man. Alaric didn't believe it. He was looking at his father face to face, the man he wanted to meet for long. This was a dream come true, as he wanted to meet the person who changed his life forever. "What? Dad?" He muttered under his breath. Mrs Wright was also happy to meet him. "You're here, honey? We are about to come and give you a surprise welcome at the airport. We were waiting for you to come back for a long time, and you're finally here. I can't believe my eyes, but I am seeing my husband for the first time in so many months," she said and sobbed. "Don't worry dear, I am now
