Charlotte and Claire decided to get closer to Alex. "Let me do this, mother. I know Alex would still have some feeling left for me." Claire replied, looking at Jacob and her mother. [CHARLOTTE SMIRKED] "Have you met Alex recently? The rage and anger in a young man's eyes are enough to burn down an entire mansion. I would advise having him killed. Think about it: He wouldn't be a threat to us anymore, and it would be a win-win for everyone. Xavier gets his hands on his company and the gold. We get our share of everything, and we leave Rochester for good." Charlotte looked at her face. Benjamin Wibhad had just gotten back from prison and looked at Claire. "How are we able to afford this lavish lifestyle? The last time I checked, we were living from hand to mouth." He said to take a seat. "You had better behave yourself, kid, or you would be shipped off somewhere far." Jacob warned him. "I will try and see if I can get close to him and make him forget this revenge against us. We can
Chloe heard about Miranda's taking over the mining business. She knew she should have been the one to oversee the business, but Alex didn't reach out to her because he knew she would try and take over the business. Chloe knew she had to join and team up with Barne Cox. After all, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." She knew Barnes had also wanted a piece of the mining company, and joining hands with him wasn't such a bad idea. She picked up her phone and reached out to Barnes, asking him for a meeting. Chloe knew she needed to join hands with him if she was going to win the company from Alex. Chloe tapped her fingers restlessly on her desk while she waited for Barnes Cox to pick up her call. The phone continued to ring persistently, and right before she was going to disconnect the call, a rough voice finally picked up,Chloe. What do I have to thank for this enjoyable surprise? Barnes seemed cautious yet interested. “I have to get together with you, Barnes. The focus is on the mini
Alex looked at her and wondered why Miranda was asking him the question. "Well, I think she is after me right after Grandpa died. She believed she was the sole owner and leader of the Davis's, but Grandpa chose me. I don't know why, but he did, and Aunt Chloe is not happy with it." Alex replied, looking at the laptop right in front of him. "Is anything the matter?" He turned his gaze to meet Miranda. [MIRANDA SIGH] "I understand that you don't feel safe around her, but has she been a threat to you or the company?" Alex raised his eyebrow and looked at her. "She wants the company, and she would stop at nothing to get it. The company has more of a leadership role in this family. Once she has it, then she is the head of the family." Alex replied, "Then you need to know that Chloe and Barnes are working together." Mirand rubbed her chin gently. "I think they won't be a threat, but I just needed to tell you. Do you think we need to be cautious of them?" Miranda asked, "Aunty Chloe is f
Xavier almost lost his senses when he heard about what happened with the shipment. The commissioner was supposed to get his share, but now it was gone. He looked at Victor with a blaze of fire in his eyes. "You are getting sloppy with your work these days, Victor. How did they know the route this time around? What are you not telling me?" He looked at Victor as if he were trying to pry into his very soul."There was nothing I could do. The men came out of nowhere with loaded ammunition and firepower. We didn't stand a chance." Victor explained Sandra walked into the men and looked at Victor. "WWell, you need to get more men, and more men means more money." She sat down beside Xavier, who was enraged. "Do you know who had the shipment?" He asked, brushing his hands over his hair. "I think Lawrence." Victor replied, trying to give Xavier a name. He knew Xavier was going to have him tailed after this, so he needed to at least give him some information that would earn his trust. The f
Victor immediately called Lawrence with his burner phone, explaining what was going on and what Xavier's plan was.Lawrence listened intently on the other end of the line, his expression stoic as Victor relayed Xavier's plans. The room was dimly lit, casting shadows across Lawrence's sharp features, giving him an ominous appearance."Xavier's getting desperate," Victor said, keeping his voice low. "He's ordered me to have you killed within the next three days. He's got the commissioner breathing down his neck, demanding the gold shipment."Lawrence chuckled softly. "Desperation makes men careless. This is our advantage."Victor sighed. "Easier said than done. Xavier's no fool. He's got resources, and he's ruthless. We need a plan.""We already have a plan," Lawrence replied, his tone firm. "You continue to play your part. Keep him believing that you're working for him. Meanwhile, I'll set things in motion on my end. We need to draw him out and make him expose himself."Victor nodded,
Claire and Barnes hatched their plans to have the mining company taken from Miranda, but on the day to sign the contract, Miranda, with the help of Andrew, had the company locked, and they decided to have the contract signed in the Davis mansion.The men in the suite smiled as the contract was sealed. The Davis Mining Company now has access to do business with lots of countries around the world. Alex smiled and was pleased with her aunt. "You did it, Aunty," he said with a wide grin, and he hugged her. "No, we did it. This would not have been possible without your help and Andrew, but I still think we need to have Barnes and Chloe arrested." Miranda looked at Alex thoughtfully. "Chloe is family. We can't just have her arrested without legal reasons, Aunty. Do you think she is going to stay down?" Alex looked at Andrew and then back at Miranda. "I know this is a lot to take in at the moment, but we have legal grounds to have her arrested. She and Barnes not only tried to win
Alex opened the car as Roseline walked in. "Let's go." Alex looked at Brian, who immediately hopped into the car, driving towards the location to see Claire. Alex sat in the back seat of the car, his mind racing with thoughts of the meeting with Claire. Roseline sat beside him, her presence a mix of comfort and confusion. He glanced at her, his mind drifting back to their shared moments and the complicated dynamics that had brought them here. As they approached the location, Alex took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves.The car came to a stop in front of a small, secluded cafe. Alex and Roseline stepped out, with Brian giving Alex a nod before remaining in the car. They walked inside, the bell above the door chiming softly. The cafe was nearly empty, save for a few scattered patrons. Claire sat at a corner table, her eyes fixed on the entrance."Alex," she said, standing up as they approached."Claire," Alex replied, his tone neutral.Claire's eyes flicked to Roseline, a brief
Richard immediately raced to the hospital to have a look at Roseline's situation. He met Alex, seated on the bench, lost in thought. "Where is she?" Richard asked Alex with a cold gaze. "The doctor said she is in good hands." He replied "For your sake, I hope anything doesn't happen to my daughter. She is always in danger each time she is with you." Richard said this with anger, running his hands through his hair. "I am sorry your daughter was shot at, but I think they were there for her and not me." Richard saw one of the doctors and ran towards him. "How is my daughter? Will she be alright?" Richard asked with an expectant gaze. "Are you her father?" The doctor asked, looking at both men "Yes, you can tell me anything." Richard looked at the man, sweating. "I am sorry, Mr. Richard, but we did all we could. I am sorry; we lost her." The doctor said sadly For a moment, Richard was lost. He stood up and walked out of the doctor's office. Alex knew what happened, and he couldn't d
