Customers started leaving the store when he mentioned Winslow. Winslow! Who dares go against them? Some thought that James was one of the maids working in Winslow's mansion, but their workers always appeared neat and expensive, speaking of wealth. James was not dirty, but his appearance did not speak of wealth, he dressed like an ordinary person who could not afford expensive thingsWho is he?Some were wondering if James was a spy sent by Winslow to spy on Emporium. "Could he be planted to spy on Emporium and cause trouble between them, those two are long-term enemies and they fight wherever they meet, Winslow flies dared not fly in the form of Emporium and Emporium dog dared not pass Willows's house leaving unscathed." one man said. "No one dares to disrespect Winslow Dog talkless of their servant, the guy might be a servant, I need to take my leave before I get affected by this matter," one of the customers said as he was walking towards the exit. The two business moguls wer
James didn't want anyone to fall into their victim and said. "Take the cloth down!" his eyes were bloodshot… He could not believe he had wasted hours of his time on what was not real, how could they put on an ordinary costume and claim it to be 300,000 million dollar cloth? Is that not the highest scam, he had ever seen? He made the payment because he liked it, he was not prodigal to spend 300,000 on a cloth. He knew Maureen would protect and take care of the cloth as if her life depended on it. He had been using a particular cloth she purchased for 500 dollars for more than 10 years and the cloth still looked new. Not to talk of 300,000 million dollars. Simon gawked at him secretly when he heard that and said " Please, do not let us Take it down, that is what made us relevant "I will consider I didn't hear the last statement you made, I expected you to be smarter than this, but you disappointed me.""I'm sorry sir" he bit his lips hard "Just hold on and listen, putting th
Simon would have declined to enter James' car on normal occasions but if he wanted to make friends with James he had to agree to his order. He didn't allow James to drive, being that he was the only one who knew the place and was trying to prove to James that he was humble. During their stay in James' car, Simon attempted to ease the tension by engaging in a friendly conversation with James. He shared stories and tried to find common ground, hoping to strengthen their newly formed bond and reconcile their family. James, initially reserved, gradually opened up, reciprocating Simon's efforts and said "We could have been friends if our great grandparents had not caused a fight before they died, stop playing hard and let's leave it as it is""We can't be in the same car if we are not friends, James"James was surprised to hear his name, he shot him a mischievous glance. "I saw your name here, pointing to James' ID card. Tell me why would you spend the whole of 300,000 million dolla
James felt a seething rage boiling within him, his clenched fists trembling with an intensity fueled by the audacity of Alonzo's mother's words. He vowed to make them regret underestimating him."Mum, let me attend to this nothing before we go, he must get out of this place! The woman looked around and pretended that he did see James. "Just hear yourself, you said nothing, why would you be fighting nothing, nothing is nothing and worthless," she said as she grimaced mockingly"I wanted to respect you because of your mother, but I can see that she didn't deserve my respect, don't blame me for anything that will happen to you here, blame your mother for not giving you proper home training" he lips curled into cold sneer"Let me see you trying," Alonzo retorted Leave with your mother before you see the other side of me" James warnedYou must be out of your mind to open the toilet called your mouth, how dare you ask me to go out, have you forgotten who you are, a wretched orphan! "Do
Almost half of the companies in the state were affiliated with Winslow, James could see mother and son running after his car, he kept looking at them through the side mirror and was smiling wildly… The smile disappeared from his face when he remembered what Alonzo had done to him. He wished he could do more!What more did he want to do? He had stopped the means of their livelihood and that was like digging their grave.Before he could finish thinking about the punishment he unleashed on them, his phone started ringing and He took out his phone and saw Micheal on his screen. He did not pick it up because he always maintained road rules, he was driving and the rules say not to make calls while driving. He looked for a space where he could park near the road and pick up his call. James eyes fell on a caution sign that read : "Do Not Park" on the road. He drove some meters before he could see a nice place to stop his car and answer the call. Before he could park, the call had end
"I want the exclusive of $10000 for 2 days, they will check out before then". The receptionist wanted to interrupt and was shocked when James brought out his card. The card alone had shut her up, it was a platinum black card, she has seen cards like this, only the richest men possessed such card!James was tired, he ignored every negative thing she had been doing and focused on getting a room and going out. The reception hand began to quiver, she instantly bowed and started giving James sincere respect. James, who had noticed a a change in her demeanour, puffed a breath from his nose and muttered "Thank you star that I'm tired, I have dealt with two of your kind today, I'm sure they would never look down on people in their life. She gasped in extreme shock and her jaws wanted to drop on the floor as she saw James Winslow on the platinum card she was given, she became restless more than before and could not raise her head to look at him. The manager came in and saw her shaking a
James finally got home to have a night's rest, Maureen noticed he was tired and helped him to prepare a hot water bath. "I pray you to find a better job soon, This one is draining you, look at how tired you look. "There is no better job else here ma, they look good outside until someone starts before he or she will know what it entails, nothing beats being an entrepreneur, "You are right, nothing beats being your boss, but some works require less energy than others. I don't want you to argue with me on this, if you do, you will waste your energy, go in and relax." Maureen commanded. "Yes ma," James stood up from the couch he sat determined to go inside and freshen up but Maureen who had not seen anyone to disturb kept asking questions despite being the one that asked not to was it energy? "Did you hear of your friend, Micheal?""Yes, I heard from him," James responded"How is he doing and the case you talked about.? "I didn't see him today, I was busy with work, he just called
He stepped into his car, the engine purring to life as he navigated through the familiar streets. Thoughts about Maureen's upcoming birthday the next day lingered in his mind, and he wanted to make it special for her.As he drove, memories of the challenging times they had faced together flashed before him. The surgery, the recovery, the resilience—they had weathered it all. His commitment to preserving her well-being was evident in every gesture, including the careful consideration of her health post-operation. Maureen didn't know how important the day would be in James' life, he thought she would die when he didn't get money for her operation from Alice. Arriving at Lucas's place, he found Lucas waiting outside. The two greeted each other, Lucas bowed, exchanging a few words before setting off on their plan. Lucas was someone to be trusted, despite that James had been careful in dealing with people. Humans will always be human! He could have told Lucas about Vito's properti
