The Rise Of The Penniless Son-in-law CHAPTER 113
"She wasn't being rude to you, Naomi. She was just surprised at your attitude towards me." Alex looked at her. "Is there anything bad in me trying to watch out for you? You scared the hell out of me when you were not picking up my calls." Alex, not knowing what to say, looked at Naomi and said, "I believe you are no longer a child, my daughter. A lot of people want me dead and will keep trying till I am. I am trying my best to stay alive for your and my grandfather's sake. My parents were killed unjustly, and I will have their murderers brought to justice." "Isn't that a long time ago?" Naomi asked "Yes, it is a child, but I can't easily forget them. I didn't have the privilege of growing up with my parents because someone decided to have them killed." Alex said it sadly. "I know how that must have felt. I grew up without a family too; I don't know who my parents were, and I don't think my family cared enough to sort me out. I was lucky to work for your grandfather until you adop

Henry and Claire, on the other hand, were busy gathering any information that would make them closer to Ruby. They needed to dig up more dirt about him. One afternoon, they both sat down together. Claire found an old article about a servant killing its master. "This must be it. This is how Ruby can acquire his wealth." Henry looked at Claire with a smile on his face. "I had always thought this was just a rumor." Claire replied "Well, it didn't say he had him killed; we need to find the truth behind the man's death and connect it to Ruby." "Do you think that would be possible, considering how many years this has happened?" "I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I can investigate again if I want. I have some men in high places who would do my bidding without questioning me." Henry smiled "What are you not telling me?" Claure looked at his face. "Let's just keep it between us for now. I'm sure we are going to get our chance." The door opened slowly, and Ruby walked in, looking at the t

Alex rolled on the bed, looking at Paulina by his side. He was more than happy to have the most beautiful and understanding woman. The rays of the sun caught her very skin and shone into her eyes. Alex got closer to her, using his body to block the sun. "Good morning," Paulina said with a smile on her face. "Morning, love," Alex replied. They both had a light kiss, and Paulina looked at him. "What are you doing?" She asked, seeing Alex staring at her face. "I am just happy you are mine." He replied Alex's phone rang, and a reminder popped up on it. "Gosh, I have forgotten." He said it in a rush as he got out of bed. "What is it?" Paulina asked, seeing the look on his face. "Today is Anthony Bailey's daughter's graduation. I can't miss that. Are you coming?" Alex asked, getting into the bathroom. "I don't think I should come. What do you think about asking Roseline out on a date? I think that would help throw Richard off your back for a little bit."Alex paused the toothbrush halfw

As Alex's car sped down the familiar streets towards his mansion, his mind raced with a flurry of thoughts and emotions. The events of the day had unfolded with startling rapidity, leaving him reeling with shock and disbelief. His phone buzzed severally with Richard Dickson's call, and Alex furrowed his brows as he ignored the calls. He wasn't sure what to tell him if he eventually had his call picked up.Paulina, his fiance, had been abducted right under his nose, and Roseline, who had accompanied him, was nowhere to be found. The graduation ceremony, meant to be a joyous occasion, had descended into chaos and tragedy with the brutal murder of Anthony Bailey, a man whom Alex respected and admired. He was like a father to him. Alex's mind raced back to Lawrence, and he called, asking for a backup.Arriving at the mansion, Alex was greeted by a scene of utter chaos. Police cars lined the street, their flashing lights illuminating the night sky. Concerned neighbors gathered in small clu

"Get them some water and a snack. Make them talk; I need answers about what I need." Rubby ordered and cut the call. "What did you order him? Don't tell me you told them about the gold." Xavier looked at Rubby with disbelief in her voice."They are my trusted men, and I can vouch for them with my life." Rubby replied with a smirk."Do you understand what you have done? Father would kill his son or daughter over something as this, and you dare tell me you told some thugs?" Xavier shouted angrily, standing to his feet. "Do you even tell them not to kill the both of them? I hope you didn't forget we have Roseline Dickson, whose father won't mind chopping off our heads if he finds out about this."You worry over nothing. I had made sure this incident wouldn't lead them to us. I promise." Ruby said, gently trying to calm Xavier down.The two of them chatted about how they were going to get their words straight in case they were interrogated by the cops. "Make sure they are not killed." Xav

Alex listened carefully to what Mr. Lawrence had to say. "I will come over to your villa once I am free." Alex cut off the line and looked at Andrew. "I have to go now. Can you please take care of her and make sure she doesn't leave the house?" He instructed"Are you sure I don't leave the house? What are you talking about, Father? Do you plan on having me locked inside the house forever?" Naomi looked at Alex. "You know I have a lot of enemies, as they are currently attacking me with all they have. I need you to be safe, and don't think about going anywhere without my security. Where the hell were my men when Paulina was taken?" Alex looked at Andrew, a little angry. "I am sorry, Lex, but that is a bygone issue. What we need to focus on is how we are going to get Paulina and Roseline back." Andrew replied The door to the mansion opened, and Richard Dickson walked in. "Where the hell is my daughter? Where are you keeping her?" He asked, looking tensed. Alex looked by his flanks and

"It is a long story. The picture of the man you are seeing, can you help me track him?" Alex looked at Lawrence. "Of course, anything for you, son. I will let you know when I find out anything." "Thank you; I am grateful I met you, Mr. Lawrence. I couldn't have done much without you. Also, do you know why anyone would want to kill Anthony Bailey?" Alex asked, looking at Lawrence. "I don't know, Alex. Every man has his own enemies. I have mine, and I am sure you are having yours too." Lawrence replied The both of them walked out of the room, with Lawrence telling Alex how he and Brandon had been friends and how many people wanted Brandon's head because of the gold mines. "I wish I was here to protect your father." "I am sure you did your best." Alex replied Agent Miller gathered information about the individuals Alex had mentioned, cross-referencing their backgrounds, connections, and possible motives. Each name on the list became a thread in a complex web of potential suspects, a

Upon entering the poorly lit structure, Alex's heart raced with a blend of fear as he followed Sky. He constantly remembered his lessons with Anthony Bailey, finding power in the recollections of his mentor's guidance. Each advancement seemed like a jump into uncertainty, yet he was determined not to be hindered by fear. While walking, he scanned from side to side in hopes of spotting Roseline or Paulina.Within the structure, the atmosphere was tense as the sound of their footsteps echoed in the thick silence. Alex was very alert, examining his surroundings carefully for any potential threats. Faint murmurs ahead made it evident that there were others in the building.Sky guided Alex further into the building's hallways, holding onto Alex's arm tightly. Even though Alex appeared calm on the outside, he could still feel the tense atmosphere in Sky's behavior, a quiet caution against making any unexpected actions.At last, they arrived at a poorly illuminated chamber where two figures
