After Jerome was done, the old man stared at his granddaughter with displeasure. He was disappointed. "Grandfather, believe me. I didn't do it. It wasn't me." Annika still denied it. She was still unwilling to admit her mistakes. "Shut up!" The old man couldn't bear it and roared at her. "Why should I shut up, grandfather? You only care about your grandson and have neglected our feelings. Because he said it was in who did it, then it means I did it.'Slap!' The old man couldn't bear it any longer and gave Annika a hard slap.Annika held her cheeks with a face frozen in surprise. She didn't expect her grandfather to slap her. No matter her offense, her grandfather would never lay a hand on her. What just happened, she lost the old man's favor. "Grandfather," tears welled up in her eyes. "Annika, I am disappointed in you. Everything clearly shows you did everything but yet you have refused to admit your crime. Henceforth, you are no longer the vice president. You will be under house
Mia had been trying all means to help her father, but all was in vain. After searching for a long time, she finally found someone willing to help her. The man was the CEO of GPT, the company that collaborated with Jerome when the Caddel family almost lost their deal with the Gambia president. Mia walked to the GPT company."Good day," she greeted the receptionist."Good day, Miss. How may I help you?""I'm here to see your CEO.""A minute, please." The receptionist said and went to Mr. John's office. He told her to let Mia in.When Mia got to Mr. John's office, she saw him sitting idly in his chair."You are here, Miss Mia. I thought you wouldn't come," he said while playing with his pen."Mr. John, will you help me?" Mia asked with uncertainty."I will, but on a condition." He stood up and walked to her. He sat in front of her and stared at her with lust in his eyes."What do you want?" Even though Mia knew what he wanted, she still asked him."Of course, your body," he said bluntly.
Still, at the Cambridge Mansion, Mr. Cambridge sat on the couch, deep in thought. His company has been declining every day. The investors have started withdrawing their investments. Things are not going the way he planned and everything is going sideways. Mrs Cambridge has been waiting for her husband since it was time to sleep. It is almost eleven P.M. and her husband hasn't come to bed. Mr. Cambridge usually goes to bed early. This was so unlike him. She decided to go downstairs and check what was keeping so long. When he got downstairs, she saw her husband sitting on the couch, deep in thought. "Hubby, why are you still outside?" She walked closer to him and said. But because her husband was in deep thought, he didn't hear her. "Hubby," she shook her and this time around she was able to pull her out of his thoughts. "Sigh…" He sighed deeply. "Hubby, what's wrong? Are you still thinking about the company?" She asked in a soft tone."Yes, the company is declining every day. No on
Eleanor had just closed from work, today was a stressful day and her body was aching all over. Bright and Jerome were still at the company but Eleanor left them. After getting off the bus, she began walking home with her aching body and sleepy eyes. The distance from the bus station to her apartment was that far. To be able to get there early, she took a shortcut where the street lights were dim and many people were asleep. "Aww, who do we have here?" She saw four drunk men walking towards her with unsteady steps. Eleanor knew she would be in danger if they came closer to her. She didn't know what to do, because the distance between where she is is very close to her apartment. If she decided to turn, she wouldn't know where to hide because she had no one over there. "Hey, don't come closer," she was so scared. "Why shouldn't we come closer?" A guy with yellow dyed hair said. The drunk guys inched closer, still smiling their malicious smiles. Eleanor tried to stay strong and tri
"If you're grateful, treat me to a meal," Nathan said with a hidden smile.Although unwilling, Eleanor, for the sake of him saving her, had no choice but to nod. "Sure, where do you want to go?""To an expensive place," he replied."Hey, I don't have enough money for an expensive restaurant," Eleanor said with a frown."Then it means you're not grateful," Nathan said, putting his hands in his pocket.The cunning man, does he know how poor I am? If I spend all the money on him, how will I get money to watch BTS? I can't miss this, but I can't be ungrateful. She contemplated for a while and decided to treat him. She glared at him.Nathan smirked when he saw her glare. She looked like an angry kitten."Well, since you want to go to an expensive restaurant, I can't afford the transportation fare. You will have to do something.""Tsk, tsk, so ungrateful. Get in. Where are we going?""I don't know. Any expensive restaurant.""Great, I have a nice place in mind. Let's go there," Nathan said
Mia had prepared everything and was ready for her task. She quickly went to where Mr. John had directed her. When she got to his house, she was surprised that Mr. John had such a big mansion. She was very angry at how he looked down on her and how he cheated on her. She was more determined to avenge herself. The mansion was even more beautiful than the Cambridge company."This cunning man; he could have afforded a million dollars, but he chose to give twenty thousand dollars. Fine, let's see how he will spend this money after he is done."A maid who was already expecting her showed her to Mr. John's room."Mr. John," she said in a seductive tone."Wow, you look really sexy. Come closer." Mr. John didn't want to waste any time in case Mia changed her mind.She slowly walked to him and held his privates. "Calm down, Mr. John, I am here for you. I have a big surprise for you. " she said in a flirtatious tone."Oh, okay," Mr. John nodded. He couldn't wait to see what Mia had for him. S
Early in the morning, news spread about the CEO of GPT's death. People were shocked and wondered who was so cruel to kill him in such a brutal manner. "Gosh, I am afraid of the killer.""Maybe it might be one of his enemies.""I don't think so. Maybe his rival company. "What if it is the CEO of the Caddel company?" "No, I don't think so. They once had a collaboration. And even signed a new contract with him yesterday." "Sign.. people can be heartless.… At Jerome's office… "Boss, Mr. John has been murdered." Bright rushed in quickly and reported. "Murdered?" "When and how?" Jerome was surprised. He just signed a new contract with him yesterday. How come he is dead today?"He was stabbed many times. He was also naked." "I see, find another investor," Jerome said."But sir, Miss Mia, there is something strange about her recently.""Like?" Jerome inquired. "The men who had been following her said she was the last person who entered Mr. John's mansion. As for what happened, nobod
Mia had been keeping a close eye on Eleanor. There is no way she would let go of such a perfect opportunity. "Even though she was not short of money, the money wouldn't last till eternity. She needs to find a backer. She walked to the receptionist and asked, "Is everything settled? " "Yes Miss, everything is settled. I'm just waiting for him to get in.""What did I say you should do?" Mia asked again in case the receptionist had forgotten or didn't understand anything. "You said, I should give this room number to the man and give this to the woman. A beggar will enter, I should give this room key to the beggar." The waiter explained it carefully. "Good, you will do a good job." Mia smiled in satisfaction and left. Eleanor and Jerome never left each other. Jerome had the feeling that something was off with Mia. She was unusually quiet. Her gaze was mischievous. He called Bright and told him to look into what Mia was up to. After he was done, he decided not to leave Eleanor's side.
