The Rise Of The Penniless Son-in-law CHAPTER 64
Claire and Henry sat across from Rubby in the elegant dining room, the morning sun casting a warm glow through the windows. They were joined by Mrs. Will and Benjamin, who had just arrived, their faces still bearing traces of worry and exhaustion from the events of the previous day. Charlotte rubbed her eyes gently as she saw Henry seated across the table. "You are here, Henry." She said it softly. "Morning, Mrs. Will. I trust you had a lovely night's rest." He said, gently sipping the coffee before him."I did; I wasn't expecting to see you this morning." Charlotte said, taking her seat at the table. Rubby cleared his throat, his expression serious as he addressed the group. "We need to strategize on how to take down Alex and uncover the truth behind his dealings with Xavier Richmond and Richard Dickson. I am sure with everyone's hands on deck, we can't surely uncover what he is hiding." Charlotte nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "I'm ready to do whatever it takes to br

Alex laid down on his bed as he wondered what the next action would be against his villains. He didn't know Rubby and his gang were up to him. He lazily got out of bed and saw Paulina's call. He ignored it and walked into the bathroom to take a cold shower. He was having a migraine since he had started to delve deeper into the business world and was also trying to bring his parents killers to justice. The thought of going to the police crossed his mind, but he thought someone like Xavier and Richmond would surely have connections in high places. He stood as the water washed through his body. He listened to his phone ring continuously and decided to quickly finish up and go and get his phone. With a towel tied around his waist, he walked towards it. A gentle knock at the door made him look up to see who it was. "Come in." Fiona opened the door and quickly hid her face away. "I am sorry; I didn't know you were naked." Fiona apologise Alex looked at himself. " Naked? I am not naked;

Alex arrived at the Dickson mansion and was ushered in. "Ah, Mr. Davis! I can see you have come to grace us with your presence." Richard said it with a smile. Alex looked around, trying to see if he could catch a glimpse of Roseline. "She would be down in a few minutes," Richard said with a smile on his face. "I didn't know you were seeing my daughter," Richard said, looking at Alex from the corner of his eyes. " Alex coughed gently and looked back at him. "We didn't plan for it to happen. It just did." Richard looked at Alex with a stern face and asked, "Do you love her?" "C'mon, Dad, you are making him uncomfortable." Roseline's voice broke the tension between Alex and Richard. "I need to be sure this is not just a fling. You just had a nasty break, and I know how I had to nurse you back to being you." Richard replied Roseline moved closer to Alex and slid her arms under his. "Can we go now?" She asked with a smile on her face. Alex bowed his face to the ground before Richard

Henrietta walked in and was surprised to see Alex with another woman. She recognized Roseline at once and wondered what Alex was doing to get back with her. "Are you following me now?" Alex asked, folding his hands. Henrietta smiled and looked at him. "And why would I do that? This place has the most delicious delicacies, and I come here often to have a taste of their food. She sat down and looked at Alex. "Another busse deal?" Alex looked at Roseline, and he could see in her eyes that she wanted her to be introduced to Henrietta or whoever was seated right in front of her. "My bad, meet Roseline Dickson. My girlfriend." Alex said with a smile. Roseline looked at Henrietta. "He is mine, so back off." " Really? Then why do you feel insecure the moment you see me?" Henrietta asked, even making the atmosphere a little bit more tense. "Can we leave? I don't want to share the room with her." Rose said, looking at Alex. "Let's just try to calm down. She is my co-worker; we work at th

After Alex hung up the phone, a sense of dread washed over him. He couldn't believe Rubby would be up to them in just a matter of time. Paulina's urgent tone carried a heavy burden of concern in her words. Rubby and his followers were approaching quickly, so they had to act swiftly to avoid falling behind.Looking at Roseline, Alex smiled fakely, hiding his inner turmoil. He falsely claimed it was simply a job matter, trying to hide his nervousness from her.Roseline squinted, examining his face closely. She sensed he was keeping a secret, yet she decided not to push, believing he would open up when he felt comfortable. But little did she know she had her part to play in all of the drama. "Sure, if that's what this is all about," she responded quietly, gently squeezing his hand for reassurance.Alex guided Roseline to the sophisticated living room, where they sat on the luxurious couch. He couldn't rid himself of the feeling of imminent threat that stayed in his subconscious. Rubby's

As Alex drove back home, his mind was filled with different thoughts as he wondered how Ruby was able to gain on him. He knew nobody knew about what he was doing except for his grandfather, Paulina, and Andrew. But Andrew didn't know much because he hadn't formally told him anything. "Who could be the snitch?" He tapped his steering wheel as he drove through the busy streets of Rochester. Alex didn't see an incoming vehicle, and they both collided. " Jeez!" Alex shouted, holding the back of his neck, as he got out of his car. Many onlookers gathered to see two fancy cars collide. They looked at the men walking closer to each other. "I am so sorry; I didn't mean to bump into you. I was just trying to avoid the pothole right in front of me." The man said he was holding his neck.He looked at Alex's car and saw it was a mess. "Can I fix that for you?" He asked, looking at Alex's face. "No, it is fine. Are you alright?" Alex asked, trying to be polite. The man nodded and brought out hi

A cold shiver ran down Alex's spine at the deep and unfamiliar voice on the other end of the line. "Mr. Davis," the voice started, "I think there are some things we still need to talk about. I can see you really want to know about the death of your parents, and I am ready to assist you with that if you would let me."Alex felt his heart pound as he attempted to keep calm. "Who is that?" he asked, while his hand tightened around the phone."The voice responded in a mysterious manner, saying you can refer to me as... an interested party. I possess information that could be of value to you. Details regarding your history and potentially your upcoming experiences."Alex cleaned up the sweat that was forming on his forehead. The thought of another person knowing about his parents deaths was something he didn't anticipate. "Is there more to my parents deaths?" Alex thought to himself as he held the phone closer to his ears. Alex's thoughts were rushing, attempting to identify the voice. I

Alex looked at Mr. Black, and he knew he needed to make sure he was a friend and not a foe. "I would like you to give me more time to think about all of this. I know you are trying to be helpful, but the recent incident has not been easy for me. I find it difficult to trust, and you need to make me trust you." Mr. Black looked at Alex, and he could see a lot of his father in him. "You are indeed your father's son. Always skeptical and careful." Alex's gaze was sharp as he looked at him. "Do you know my father?" He asked, dropping the glass of coffee he was holding. " Brandon? Yes, we go way back. We attended the same college and even graduated together. We lost contact when I was out of the country. He contacted me, telling me a few things I didn't understand. By the time I was back in the country, he was dead." Mr. Black said, looking at Alex. "Why reach out to me now? You could have come find me when you were back. So why wait till now?" Alex asked"I tried to find you, but it w
