The Rise Of The Penniless Son-in-law CHAPTER 130
Alex’s heart pounded as he followed the young doctor through the sterile hallways of the hospital. The smell of antiseptic was overpowering, and the fluorescent lights cast a harsh glow on the white walls. Paulina walked beside him, her face pale with worry. They had arrived at the hospital minutes earlier, desperate for news about Ethan."Mr. Davis, right?" The doctor had approached them in the lobby, adjusting his spectacles."Yes," Alex replied, urgency in his voice. "How is Ethan Walsh?"The doctor led them to a private room at the end of the corridor. "He's stable but in critical condition. He sustained a significant head injury and smoke inhalation. We're monitoring him closely and have him on a ventilator to help with his breathing."As they entered the room, Alex saw Ethan lying motionless on the hospital bed, tubes and wires connected to various machines that beeped and hummed. His head was bandaged, and his face was pale.Paulina gasped, covering her mouth with her hand. "Oh
The Rise Of The Penniless Son-in-law CHAPTER 131
Agent Miller kept digging more about Xavier Richmond and what vendetta would be for keeping Rubby under his roof. He also had on his wall the murder and death of Anthony Bailey, and everything was not making sense. Something was missing, and he couldn't place his fingers on it. Rubby has no motive for killing Anthony Bailey. But he had all the reasons to have Paulina and Roseine kidnapped. He was doing that for the gold. Miller's door burst open, and Agent Alice walked up and saw the wall decorated with many pictures and fliers. "Wow! You have a lot of big investigations going on. I thought you were told to stay clear of the Richmonds." Alice looked at him as she walked to the fridge to get herself a bottle of soda. "Does this make any sense?" Miller looked at Alice and continued, "Rubby has no motive to kill Anthony Bailey. Yes, they needed a distraction to have Roseine take from Alex's side, but don't you think killing Anthony Bailey was too much?" Alice opened her bottle of drink

Xavier, on the other hand, was weary of everything. The death of Rubby and the god brought along with him. "Don't you think spending a lot of cash right now will cause a stir, and the more might just have a reason to reinvest in us?" He looked at Sandra, who was lusting after the gold right in front of him. "We are rich, honey, and I am sure no one would care if we were two times richer." She replied, grabbing one of the golds."All we have to do is pay Lawyer Maxwell a good amount of money and have him defend us. What do you think about buying Rubby's mining mansion?" Sandra chipped in, and Xavier looked at her. "Oh my god! Why haven't I thought about all of this? Alex Davis had terminated the contract he had with us. We might as well have Rubby's company take iver, and then we can target taking the mines from Alex, along with any hidden treasures in the land." Xavier smiled, seeing that the plan was brilliant."Do you think Henry and Claire would give up the mining industry? I hea
The Rise Of The Penniless Son-in-law CHAPTER 133
Jacob Allison had become a crucial part of Xavier and Sandra's world. His charisma and clever humor made him popular at their parties, and his sincere fascination with the mining sector earned him a position as a trusted advisor. Nevertheless, Xavier's paranoia never decreased. He had established his empire through distrust and deception, and he understood the importance of not dropping his guard entirely. While Jacob wandered through the lavish hallways of the Richmond mansion at a luxurious party, Xavier and Sandra started to question their newfound friend.In the dark corner of the ballroom, Xavier quietly expressed to Sandra, "There's something about Jacob that doesn't feel right to me." He is excessively flawless. I don't want to believe he has our best interests at heart."Sandra, looking around at the crowd, responded, "I've had similar thoughts. His timing and his story align perfectly. There is more to him than meets the eye, but I want to believe he is legit."Xavier gave a

On the other side of Rochester City Alex and Paulina were trying to make sure Ethan was well taken care of. Walking into the hospital, they met him up and about. "Won't you be in bed?" Alex asked, walking closer to him with a smile. "I think I have been resting for a while now, and I need to get back in the game," Ethan replied. "You should take some time off. Try and relax and get back your strength." Paulina advised "Of course, I will do that when I am done with the irk at hand. I know how important catching the culprit is, and I am going to try my best to help you solve this case." Ethan said with a stern face. The door was slightly pushed open, and the door walked in. "Mr. Ethan, I can see you are fine now." He said it with a smile. "When will I be discharged, doctor?" Ethan asked "Today, of course, you have shown a significant improvement, and you are free to go home." Ethan looked at their faces and smiled. "See, I am all healed up now." "Not so fast; you need to take you

Alex sat on the edge of his chair, Paulina still on his lap, processing the new lead. The realization that Henry and Claire could be behind the attack on Ethan was a bitter pill to swallow. His mind raced with the implications of this discovery. He knew he had to tread carefully. H had once had issues with the Wills and Henry. Alex believes they should have learned their lesson by now. But working with Rubby was something he had never anticipated. "We need to gather evidence," Alex said, his voice low and determined. "If Henry and Claire are involved, they won't be easy to take down."Paulina nodded. "I'll start digging into their financials and looking for any connections to Xavier's operations. We need a solid case before we make our move."Alex leaned back, his eyes distant, as he considered their next steps. "And I'll have Marcus look into their recent activities. If they've been in contact with any of Xavier's associates, we'll find out."As Paulina stood up, Alex pulled her bac

Naomi was able to get her clothes in preparation for her graduation ceremony. While Alex pursued finding clues about Xavier's dirty line of work, He couldn't believe Marcus was able to link Henry to the attempted murder of Ethan. He was about to walk out of his room when Agent Miller's call came in. "Hello, Mr. Miller. I trust you have some good news for me." Alex said, placing the phone closer to his ears. "Indeed, Mr. Davis. We have been able to have a tangible lead on Xavier and Sandra. We believe they are in collaboration with Henry and Claire." Miller replied "Any news about Rubby?" Alex asked with a furrowed eyebrow. "Nothing yet. I believe capturing Xavier and Sandra would shed more light on that. And I think we might have found your gold." Miller said at the end of the call, but that wasn't what Alex was concerned about. He was very interested in the death of his sensei and wondered why he had been killed on his daughter's graduation day. Alex had made plans to send his chil

Filled with joy, Naomi made her way back to her room, looking forward to the road trip she had long been promised by her father. Alex watched as she left, a mix of emotions reflected in his smile. The events of the day had provided him with a precious moment of calm in the midst of the turmoil, although he was aware it wouldn't last long as they were preparing to capture his enemies. He looked back at Paulina, who gazed at him with a blend of curiosity and fondness."Are you going to?" Softly, Alex echoed, his gaze meeting hers. "Would you consider marrying me after everything comes to an end?"Paulina felt a sudden tightness in her chest as she struggled to breathe. This was not something she had anticipated, especially not at this moment, while battling against Xavier and his minions. She extended her hand and gently squeezed Alex's hand. She gazed at his facial features."Alex," she started, but Alex's phone ringing interrupted her.Alex responded to the call with a sigh. "Can I he
