It was Wednesday, and Jerome was sitting in his office going through his files. After he was done, he checked his time and saw it was three o'clock p.m. Since he didn't have much work, he decided to pay a visit to his guest. "Bright, drive me to the basement. It is time to visit the guest." He said with a playful tone. Bright could feel his skin prickling. It seems the guest would suffer today. He followed his boss who was walking towards the garage. When they got to the garage, he entered the car with his boss and drove to the basement. "When they got to the basement, he took him to where Mrs Jackson was tied. " Long time no see, Mrs Jackson." Jerome clapped his hands to grab his attention. "You, how dare you kidnap me." Mrs Cambridge said with arrogance in her tone. " Aww, you are still dreaming. You think they will be able to save you. It's been three days since you have been, has anyone found you? No, let me ask it this way, do they even have time for you?" Jerome sat on his
Boss, should we wake her up?" one of the men asked."Leave her. I guess she won't be able to walk, and she will be traumatized forever.""Bright, are you done with the task I gave you?""Yes, boss. The Jackson family will announce bankruptcy tonight," Bright replied."Good, release her tonight," Jerome said."Boss, you have a meeting with Miss Ruth.""Okay, let's go," he said and followed, while Bright trailed behind.... At Jackson's family...Elidad paced back and forth in his room while Mr. Jackson sat on the couch with his hands on his mouth. His wife was missing, his mafia group was destroyed, and his company was now bankrupt. Just what crime did he commit to deserve this?"Elidad, whom did you offend?" Mrs. Jackson asked. He was sure they had offended some bigshot. Someone more powerful than them. "Father, I haven't offended anyone. I don't know what is happening." He too couldn't understand what was happening. He would have known if he had offended anyone but no, he hasn't.
She picked a bottle of wine. She poured some wine into the glass that was on the table. She seductively walked to Jerome. Her head was full of pride. "Hello, handsome." She said in a coquettish tone. Jerome stared at her with no emotions in his eyes. The lady thought Jerome was mesmerized by her beauty and so it boosted her confidence. She decided to take the first step. She was about to lean in his arms when Jerome suddenly kicked her. "Bitch, do you not know your boundaries? How dare you touch me with your smelly body." Jerome's tone was cold. " Mr." The lady cries out. It was so embarrassing. The people presented all turned their attention to her. She pitifully bit her lips. Hoping he would regret his actions. Her expression would have moved any ordinary man but who was Jerome? He didn't care about her and felt disgusted. "Mr. Swift, is this why you invited me here?" He was angry. " I'm sorry, Mr Jerome. I thought it was good to be entertained. I didn't mean to offend you." S
"So Jerome, when are you getting married? You are now rich and have everything; at least you should have a woman by your side," Gaius said."Don't mind him; women are troublesome. Just be single and enjoy your wealth. You can pick a woman anytime you are in the mood," Steve disagreed with him."Tsk, tsk, no wonder your grandmother is busily arranging dates for you. With this mindset, you would die single," Gaius clicked his tongue and said like a disappointed father."Of course, being single is the best thing. At least I won't die young," Steve said in a proud tone."And who said you would live long if you don't get married? Poor you," Gaius said."Jerome, what do you think?" Steve turned to Jerome, hoping he would back him."I think I will have to tell the old lady what you said. My dear, it's not good to die single. No wonder, you don't have sense.""Hahaha," Gaius couldn't hold onto his laughter and laughed out loud."Hey, man, you should be careful of what you say. Who said I don
"And who claimed I couldn't afford such a meal?" Jerome inquired."Oh, Jerome, you remain the financially challenged person we know. How do you plan to pay? With your inexpensive attire? Or perhaps you'll take on a cleaning job?" His voice projected loudly for all the present customers to hear."Indeed, I doubt he can manage this meal. Why subject yourself to disgrace if you lack the funds.""If I were him, I'd have left in shame.""Such a shameless man."The customers ridiculed him, ceasing their meals to stare at him disdainfully."Manager, he is also a customer. Why treat him this way?" The waiter thought his boss was being unreasonable. Does he hold a grudge against him?""Just be quiet. Who are you to meddle in my affairs?""But boss, every customer should be treated fairly, whether rich or poor." The waiter retorted."How dare you instruct me on what to do? You're fired. I don't need you here." The manager angrily dismissed the waiter."I'd rather be fired than work under someon
"Mr. Gaius, please," the waiter, who had just become the new manager, signaled for Raid to leave."You son of a bitch, this is all your fault. You have been eyeing my position for a long time. You planned everything." Raid stood up angrily and held the waiter's neck. "You son of a bitch, you will pay for this," he cursed at him. If not for the public place, he would have strangled him to death.The security personnel arrived shortly and chased him out. Raid was still cursing while being driven out. He swore to make them pay for the humiliation he went through."Aww my gosh, I thought he was joking when he said he knew the president.""Aww, I feel ashamed to sit here. I am leaving.""The gentleman wasn't bragging."The customers were all ashamed; when Jerome left with Gaius, they breathed a sigh of relief."Do you know Raid?""Yes, he tried to rape my secretary and beat him up. I guess he wanted to take revenge. Too bad he didn't know me." Jerome shook his head and said."That stupid b
"I'm finished. If we do not get investors in three days, we will have no choice but to declare bankruptcy," Cambridge panicked. Things have not been going smoothly ever since Jerome left the company. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have driven away."Dad, is it serious?" Mia inquired. She rarely delved into the company's affair. "Very serious. Now what do we do?" Mr. Cambridge paced back and forth in a frustrated manner."Mia, why not talk to Jerome? Maybe he would consider your past relationship with him and help us," Mrs. Cambridge suggested."Mother, are you serious? Why would he help us after all that we did to him?" Mia thought her mother's suggestion didn't make sense."Why wouldn't he? We fed him, clothed him, and even sent him to school. Don't you think it is time for him to compensate us?" Mrs. Cambridge shamelessly insisted. "Your mother is right. Even if we didn't treat him well, at least your grandfather treated him well while he was alive. He needs to compensa
After the receptionist told Mr. Cambridge Jerome was ready to see him, he hummed and stood up. He would put this boy in place today. When he got to the office, he knocked for the first time but there was no response. He knocked for the second time and no one responded. "What's going on here? Why is anyone not responding." He pondered. He knocked for the third time and heard Jerome's voice. He opened the door and entered. As Mr. Cambridge entered Jerome's luxurious office, he felt a sense of awe and wonder. The room was decorated with lavish furniture and exquisite art. He couldn't help but admire the opulence of the space. At the same time, he felt a twinge of envy. He had worked hard his whole life, but he still couldn't afford a place like this. Why is the world so unfair? How can nobody suddenly turn to somebody and sit in such an expensive office? "Mr. Cambridge here isn't a tourist site. My time is precious." Jerome said with an impatient tone. " You, how dare you make me wait
