Steve took time to observe the place, this was his first time entering the old master's study room. It screams wealth and it looks like this old man he is staring at now is a neat freak, everything in his house is just neat."Are you going to stand forever?" The old man decided to bring him out of his trance. He could not wait to hear what Steve had to tell him."Thank you," Steve said, taking a seat "I'm all ears now," the old master gave him the go-ahead."Jerome was poisoned, yesterday too," Steve broke the news to the old master, shocking him to the core."What!!! How? When?" The old master questioned with unease."In the evening," Steve answered."Wait...what were those useless securities doing when someone entered? I clearly remember giving them a stern warning not to let anyone in," the old master snapped angrily"It is not their fault sir, the enemy acted smart this time around," Steve said."What do you mean? Tell me everything from scratch," the old master requested.Steve
Steve has been thinking a lot, trying to connect the dots on Anika's attack too."Is it a coincidence, she happened to have suffered the same date that night?" he thought"It doesn't look like she got in an accident, this can only result from falling from a height," He recalled the nurse's statement, somehow he did not want to believe Jerome's cousin was behind this. Why would she want to kill her blood? After all, she did not look like the desperate type. The few moments he encountered her, she was this calm like a pool of water.He decided to visit her to clear the cloudy atmosphere. He needed to be fast with it because the old master was already asking for results.He wouldn't want to point a finger at her without any proof at all that would be like disrespecting his family. Of course, no one dares humiliate a Cadell and go scot-free.He can not walk up to the old master all of a sudden and tell him, Annika is the cause of everything going on.He can not do that until he has a fi
It had been three days since Jerome was discharged from the hospital, and he decided to resume work as soon as he felt better. He wasn't satisfied with some of the reports Bright brought to him, and most of the workers were lazing about because he wasn't around. So, he intended to resume today, and of course, he was going with Eleanor because she wouldn't allow him to go alone; after all, she was his assistant.Jerome and Eleanor entered the companion, but to their surprise, they found everywhere silent."Did we come too early? Where is everyone?" Elena asked, casting her eyes around for any sign of activity.Jerome checked his watch; it was already time for everyone to be in their working positions. The place should have been busy by now. Truly, Bright was right about the workers lazing about."Welcome back, Boss and ma'am!!!" a group of people shouted, startling Eleanor and Jerome. The workers already knew Eleanor was the young mistress, so it wasn't new information to them.Bright e
It's been almost a month now, and everything seems to be moving smoothly for the Cadells. They haven't encountered any problems so far. Anika has responded to treatment unexpectedly fast and is now standing back on her feet, looking healthy as though she hadn't suffered a serious accident just months ago."We need to make another plan to get rid of that boy; he's becoming a thorn in our flesh. Maybe we should just kill him ourselves with our bare hands since he's refusing to die," Annika spat angrily."How do you locate that mysterious man without him reaching us? We really need to end this as soon as possible," Anika said with determination.James stared at her, amused by the energy with which she's speaking. He thought she would have succumbed to the idea that they can never defeat Jerome, but she seems more determined than ever."I have his contact; you can call him if you want. I'm sure he will have a plan B. But come to think of it, have you ever thought of who this mysterious man
Jerome drove into the house roughly. He came down and closed his car door roughly, then walked to the back seat to get the ice cream and pizza Eleanor asked for before walking inside the house.Steve came out of his car too with a sigh and closed his door as well. He had already anticipated this situation. He knew how angry Jerome was and under no circumstances would he risk his men being here with him. Jerome might change his mind within a second to harm them just to satisfy his anger.Steve walked into the house as well, realizing there was no other way out of this but to tell him the truth. He knew it would come to this one day, but he never expected it to happen so soon. He was sure his friend would be really angry with him for not telling him anything about this, but there was nothing he could do; his hands were tied.Steve greeted Eleanor when he got inside. He actually bumped into her coming out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee."Hi, Steve, good morning. Your friend never to
There was silence between the old man and his grandson, none of them was ready to talk. The old master was expecting his grandson to say something but the bitterness down his throat is preventing him from saying anything."Did you call me to sit here and watch you or you're going to say something," the old Master started to break the silence in the room."Why did you do that?" Jerome said simply."Can you talk in simple words? What do you mean by what you just said?" the old master replied."Why did you take such a decision and ask my friend to keep it away from me? It is not just anything this issue here, is something that involves my life. You should have at least told me about it if not for anything for the bond we share. Not for once have I taken any decision without telling you about it because I thought you were my everything and we have that kind of bond but then you proved me wrong," Jerome spoke bitterly."Why would you think that of me? You should listen to me at least, I
Jerome and Eleanor were still in Jerome's grandparents' house when a call came to Jerome's phone. He excused himself to take it; it was a call from the doctor who is taking care of Jasmine."Why are you calling me at this hour? Do you need anything?" Jerome asked."I have good news for you instead, the lady you asked me to be taking care of is awake," the doctor broke the news."Finally, I can rest. It took her long enough," Jerome breathed out."What should we do about her, Boss?" The doctor asked."We will come visit her tomorrow; it is already late," Jerome concluded."Allow her to be in the hospital for now; I will be sending someone over to bring anything she will need. Keep her for now till I come for her myself," Jerome instructed.The call ended, and he joined his family."What took you so long?" Eleanor pouted."Just business," he answered."Where are my grandparents?" Jerome asked."They said they had to go get some sleep, and also your grandfather said we should stay for the
Steve has now become a frequent visitor in the Cadell's mansion, both for the old lady's sake and also to observe Annika as well.Anytime he visits, he spends some time with the old lady, and this makes her so happy. She always has a new story to tell of her youthful days.Eleanor and Jerome had left early that morning because they had work."I do not see you busy of late," the old lady asked curiously."I took a break from work; my second-in-command is taking care of everything perfectly. He contacts me anytime he has difficulties," Steve explained."Okay, I was just wondering because the Steve I know is a busy person who has no time to spare," the old lady chuckled.There was silence in the room till the old lady spoke again."Why don't you use this opportunity and find yourself a lady who will take care of you? I know everyone has been urging you to get married, and you find it irritating, but let me give you a clue on what a partner in your life can do for you. She is going to be
