.Brielle sighed softly before looking into the eyes of the people she felt were her allies. Her head cocked sideways as she drummed her pen on the edge of her seat. "I know that you all are busy but there's something that I want to discuss with you, I don't just know you might receive it. Last week, I had a thought, so I want to inform you about it." She began.Martins and Nikki shared a glance before looking at her. Martins studied his boss's wife. She was distraught and tiredness was visible all over her face. It reminded him of probably a wounded lion that was trying to recuperate. That might be too lame for her though."Yeah, so we are going to talk about my husband's imprisonment. I am not comfortable with the way he's been treated like a criminal. I've gotten to realize that no one can save him except me so I am willing to further my investigation." She explained.They stared at her as though she didn't know what she was saying and she didn't bother to clarify.Martins, who had

The thrill of adventure pushes Sean to call Brielle the next morning. "Hey, babe. It's been long time since we spoke. Are you okay now?" Brielle looked at her phone and stared at Nikki who was now camping at her house, commuting to and fro her house. "I don't know who this is. Who are you ?" She replied with a bite in her voice. He didn't feel deterred by her response because he knew that women always acted that way especially when they didn't like the said person, it was just a way for them to dissuade the person from calling them. "I don't know... Who did you give your number to?" Brielle sighed angrily, she really didn't have the time nor energy to go through all of these with someone who was clearly not serious with her. Why would someone be calling just to be a pest in her life? "You don't want me to know who you are, Mr. Caller. I don't have time for this nonsense. It's either you state your identity or get lost." She snapped. It was obviously someone who had a lot of

Liam sauntered into the restaurant and quickly scanned the area to see the man he was supposed to meet sitting across and tapping his feet on the ground as someone who had no care in the world but he knew that it was a total lie and anyone who fell for that was going to be in big soup."My man, how are you doing today!" He called cheerfully even though he didn't feel it. He hated Sean and Brock but had to pretend till the saga was over. There was no way that he was going to allow them to strike him. "Yo! Come over here!" Sean replied, matching his energy. They both stared at each other like hawks, yet pretended to be on good terms. "I don't know why you are just arriving. Your friend just left." "Well, I had something important to tidy up before rushing out here. You said you wanted to see me for something special. I'm here now, what's the matter?" "I need you to help me drug Brielle. We need to have a piece of evidence against her so that the blackmail plan can go through. I won'

Martins looked up when he saw that Brielle was coming in. He hissed lowly as he wondered why she was here."Good morning, ma'am. I didn't think you could come here." He spoke softly but she saw beyond his calm demeanor that he wasn't in any way pleased with her presence."Oh, really... I didn't know that you were going to be here, I heard that you don't come to work lately. Is there any problem at all?" "No, there isn't but I believe that you're here to seek one, seeing your stance," Martins replied, this time not pretending to be on her side at all Brielle gestured to a seat. "May I? Even if you don't want me here." She replied and he stared at her, before offering her a curt nod. That told her everything that she needed to know. "I didn't think that you wanted to be associated with the business seeing that it could be hard for the common man to comprehend." Brielle's fake smile faded. She wasn't in the mood for that nonsense this time around. "I am not here for jokes Martins. I

“I hate her guts so much,” Martins yelled to no one in particular as he paced around his office with a Cold glare plastered on his face.His countenance was so cold that veins could be seen popping out of his head. He walked around angrily, he seemed restless and he was scared after she left. He knew what she could do and he didn’t want to wait to find out. “Who does she think she is?” He thought to himself in disgust.Going against him wasn’t a very good thing to do because he was going to react. After all, he didn’t want to be walked over by anyone.He paced around still wondering what he was going to do, he was restless and he was pissed. He wanted to teach her a lesson as soon as possible, so she’d understand that he’s not one to be messed with.He walked over to his seat and sat down relaxing gently on the chair with a huge black desk in front of him. He gently stroked his chin with a cold glare plastered on his face.He recollected he and Briella and just the thought of her gut

“That’s all I ask for and this is all for the betterment of our company and I’m trying to make sure that we don’t make decisions that’ll affect us,” Martins said in a quite convincing tone.“But what if the reason she tells us is different from what you’re telling me?” A board member asked and that got Martins infuriated immediately.“Are you trying to go against me? Are you trying to insinuate something? Like I’m lying or what are you trying to say exactly?” Martians stood up staring directly at Micheal, a part of the board who just voiced out.The woke atmosphere was already tense and everyone knew that Martins wasn’t in a good mood. They wondered if it was about the meeting he said he had with Brielle or if it was something else.“Of course not, I do not have any plan of going against you and I’m not trying to Insinuate anything, pardon me if it seems that way. I’m just trying to say that if she comes here and says something else, are we supposed to tell her what you said?” Micheal
The Rightful Successor Chapter 148: Rekindled Hope
Sean was in his office when he heard about Brielle fathers condition and he also heard about the unheard stories too. The fact that they were unable to pay the bills and the treatment won’t cease once they can’t gather it.He knew the type of person Brielle was and how she held herself in high esteem. He pondered as he smiled to himself about the situation.He brought out his phone and made a call to his men, the one who gave him the information about what was going on in her family. It wasn’t like he was dotting on her family in particular but the news just came to him. The phone rang and the person picked up the call almost immediately.“Boss.”“How are you?”“I'm a fine boss.”“So, you remember the Brielle girl with the miserable case that they can’t afford her father's treatment?” “Yes, I do sir.”“Pay the bills, I don’t care how much it is, go to the hospital and sort it out,”“But why do you want to help her? She doesn’t deserve it.”“That’s none of your business, just do what
The Rightful Successor Chapter 149: Taking Charge.
Brielle paced in front of the corridor as she thought of what to do if Sean decided to call her bluff. This wasn't going to change the fact that her family just went broke as if they had never been rich in their life. That taught her that anyone could go broke. There was no one beyond being broke. If there was anything that she wanted to change, it was the fact that life was filled with uncertainty. Aside from that, it also managed to teach her that there was a reason why life was unpredictable. Her mind wandered to her grandmother. She had not seen her after that stunt that the girl pulled. But that shouldn't stop her from trying to keep in touch with them, did it?She looked at her mother who was a shell of herself, her eyes were tired bearing all the weight of the world. "Mom, are you sure that you are okay?" Her mother blinked as if just returning to Earth to see what was happening. She didn't know what to feel. "Yeah, I am. A little frustrated but I'll be fine. I need to do

Chapter 162: Epilogue
It had been a week since the day that the final hearing had been adjourned. The judge had thanked Alex, Amelia, and Nikki for their help to the investigation. It was not something a judge would usually do but the whole situation that had brought them to the court was out of the ordinary. Alex and Brielle had been released from jail and the judge had ordered the immediate arrest of the real culprits after promising compensation to Alex and Brielle. Everyone sat in the courtroom, anticipating the beginning of the final hearing. There were reporters and people from the mass media all around the room and every single person who was involved in the case was present as well. Liam, his mother, their Lawyer who had helped their forgery, Brock, Sean and Martin. Alex, Amelia, Nikki and Brielle were also there to witness the final judgment so as to receive a form of closure for all of their efforts and the ways they had been deceived.Liam and his mother came into the courtroom first to hear th

After Alex presented all the evidence explaining his wicked brother's schemes, Liam saw that there was no way to hide anymore so he grinned again. "Yes, I meant what I said. I can't be the only one with hands pointing at me. I am just a little in number of people who are involved in this crime so as much as I would like to talk about certain things I also wanted to tell you that there might be some things that you want to change but don't have the power to. It's all in your head if you think that I won't carry out proper investigations." He said. The whole courtroom was astonished at his nonchalance. "Do you think that I would be afraid anymore? You don't even know half of what I've done. If you knew it, I'm sure that a lot of you would run mad but that won't help you one bit, instead it would dampen how fast this process should be and make you look like a fool." He spat. Temple signaled to him to stop talking so that he didn't reveal all the secrets but he refused. "The funny thi

The judge stared at him, wondering why three people were walking in."Barrister Nikki, what is going on here?" He asked when he saw close to five people walking into the room at the same time."I brought them as witnesses to help with the process, sir." She confessed and the judge nodded while motioning that she could go on. "I, Barrister Nikki, would like the court to allow us to begin the process again so that we can have a clear picture about what will happen soon." She replied.The judge was a bit perplexed but from the way the lady was speaking, she figured out that she probably knew what she was doing and was only biding her time.Liam glanced at his lawyer in fear hoping that they didn't make the mistake of letting anything slip out of his mind. Temple began to sweat because he knew that problems were about to arise and all he could do right now was to make sure that he was able to find a solution. "Let the proceedings begin." He replied."I have evidence that shows that my

In The CourtRoom. "According to the pieces of evidence before me I can boldly claim that the plaintiff is right in his suit." The judge spoke while adjusting the rim of his glasses so that it settled perfectly on his nose. Nikki rolled her eyes at the declaration. It was evident that he had been bribed hence the reason for him not properly dissecting the evidence before him and choosing to believe this man over Alex. "Objection my Lord." Nikki piped up with a smile while staring her boss in the eyes. Barr. Temple who watched her grapple with many sheets of papers as she tried to bring up more evidence. "Objection sustained." The judge granted her request Nikki adjusted her collar and smiled at the judge again. "I'm sure that everyone knows that these men are nothing but treacherous businessmen. At least that's what the tabloids say and not only that, we have a little evidence to back it up. May I show the court?"The judge nodded and she flicked on the remote which brought out im

Nikki tapped her feet in the car impatiently as they waited for Brielle to come out of Sean's apartment. They had gotten someone to set a camera inside the house to watch what was going on so that they knew the next step to take Amelia also tapped her fingers against the window as she counted one to ten in her head. The plan was simple, Brielle was to go in, seduce Sean and get him to confess to many crimes that he committed so that they could present in the court in three days. "What could be keeping her too long?" Nikki murmured angrily. They still had a lot of places to reach before midnight. Shs wanted to make everything done and over with so that she could take a nap but this was not going the way she wanted."She's not even in the line of vision. We told her to remain in the living room so that we could capture the real footage and present unmistakable evidence." Amelia muttered, their initial ire forgotten.Nikki rubbed a hand across her face as she kept on waiting for the fo

Nikki's eyes wandered toward the duo who were staring at her eagerly like she was bringing salvation to them."I feel weird." She chuckled nervously but their stares continued."I know, right? We have been waiting for you all day, why don't you get some juice in the fridge? I made it specially for you." Brielle suggested so that she didn't feel weirded out.Amelia on the other hand tapped her foot impatiently as she tried to understand what might be going on."Do you realize that we have a lot to do and I would really appreciate it if we get right into it." She muttered impatiently."Right. I guess we can dive right into the topic. So why are you here, Amelia?" Nikki challenged her. Amelia scoffed at the audacity that this lady possessed to challenge her about her presence in her cousin's house. "You're just a friend but that's beside the point. Now, why I called is to inform you that there will soon be a party, the culprits would be present so we need to be fast about it." She said
Chapter 156: Brainstorm
"Why don't you stop by my house later tonight?" Brielle inquired from Nikki the next day. She has something very improved to tell her that required that they brainstorm.Nikki glanced at her watch and realized that there was a problem. It was almost three p.m. and she still had a meeting to cover before she could call it a day. However, since Brielle needed her, it was high time that she agreed on what to do."Okay, I'll be there. I hope you have food though because I'm famished," She replied. "Yeah, you don't need to worry, I just need to put some things together, that's a little repayment for your time and energy," Brielle responded half-heartedly. She wasn't really in the mood to cook but had no choice anyway since that was what her beloved friend wanted. "You don't need to stress yourself to prove a point, I could order but I feel like having a home-made meal. You know what? Why don't I make a quick stop at home so I don't stress you out? I could also bring some for you. Whatcha
Chapter 155: Spilling the Tea.
“I’m here to see Alex.” Amelia told one of the prison wardens who stared at her as though she was speaking Greek. She returned a matching glare not wanting to be intimidated at all. They had nothing on her."Who are you and why do you think that you have the right to see him before visiting hours?" He asked her."I don't know why I don't have the privilege to see my in-law, last time I checked, this is the visiting time or is there something you don't want me to know about?" Amelia replied angrily. She had no respect for people who were after their bellies. The warden was tapped by his colleague who nodded to allow her in. She was a family member who was not restricted from seeing him. The first warden didn't just want to allow her in like that. There needed to be peace and orderliness. “Who are you?”“Amelia.”“Wait in the visitors room, I’ll call him for you.”Amelia was seated as she looked around and waited patiently for Alex to be brought to her. It was minutes and minutes wer
