With her eyes filled with panic, Sophia jerked out of the bed and scampered to the dresser where she slipped in the first dress that her hands could get clasped on. “What is going on?” Eric who also slipped a shirt on before grabbing the car keys asked. “I do not know how something like this can be happening, Our boutique, the both of them on fire same time” She cried out she thought she was going to collapse, but Eric held out to her. “You need to put yourself together, let go” He announced hurrying downstairs with Sophia tagging behind. Arriving at the first scene, everything was burnt down, although some fabrics were recovered they had turned dark and blurred away from their original material. “Oh, mine!! Who would dare do such a thing to me, I haven't offended anyone lately” She cried out, almost falling but Eric hauled her up. “Sophia you need to put yourself together, the people that did this, this is exactly how they want you to be feeling, but trust me when I say that we
Eric arrived at the Lab and investigation center of the police bureau but was surprised to see his long time friend there. “Mr. Jeff! It has been quite a while, what happened, I think it felt like you went off this surface?”“That was what almost happened to me, and to think that it is called Karma, it is indeed a bitch”Eric let his eyes scan through him, he looked pale, there were dark circles around his eyes and he had become thin and weak. “How about I check out what I came for and we go somewhere to have a discussion”“Yes, that would be great, but why are you here? I thought that your daughter had been buried?”“Yes she has, what I came for is Harry’s corpse, I have been getting this odd feeling lately, so I need to his corpse myself”“I am sorry, but I think that you just missed it, not too long ago that his corpse was taken away from him, I think that it has been sent to his family”“Did you see the corpse being trolled away or you were told?”“It occurred right before my ey
Lisa stared intensely at him for a moment, she was getting furious a lot lately, but Williams was one of those that she did not want to be on their bad side so she spoke again. “I will like that glass of juice you offered me when I first got in”“Oh! Sure! ”Williams rose and strode over to the next door where Harry was carefully listening to them, although no words were said between both men, but Williams fully understood his eyes expression. He strode back to the office and handed out a cold glass of orange juice to her. “Here is it, is there something else that you would like?”“Yes please, and that will be my Husband’s corpse" Williams groans. “I thought that we have talked about that, I have no say regarding that issue, if you are still insisting on having it perhaps cremated, then you should Speak to Mr. Roland when he gets back, Let's get back to the next question”She sighed, seeing how much he wanted to change the topic before she spoke again. “I have been getting weird pro
Chapter 81:Lisa did not realize that she had been holding her breath all this while with all the fuss, but as soon as Uncle Eric stormed out of there, she exhaled loudly and fell on the available seat close to her, her hand clutching onto her tummy. “Lisa, are you alright?”“Yeah I am fine”“Sorry about that, I will get the men to get rid of all this and put everything to its previous order”“Thank you so much Williams, I do not know what I would have done if you were not here”“I understand. This must have been a lot of shock for you, so get ready let me drop you home, you need the rest, especially for the sake of your sanity”She nodded and watched him step away from the large hall and he immediately dialed a number as soon as he was right in front of the car. “I sent you the video of everything that happened, have you watched it?” Williams asked Harry who was on the other end of the phone. “Yes I did and believe me when I say that he has bitten more than he can chew, drive Lisa
Lisa’s flight ticket was ready, she carefully parked her things while Emily stood there watching her go through the process. “Will you be alright on your own there?”“Yes Mother, it is for business, not like I am going there to catch fun, I will be back before you know it, you do not need to worry about me, that way I can get away from everything that has been going on”Emily gasped out a loud exhale, a flash of anxiety on her face. But she knew that there was nothing that she could do, so she helped her out with the bags and they scurried downstairs where Williams was already waiting. “Williams! Why are you here so early?”“Your plane ticket is scheduled for eight so it is only proper that I am here on time to get you through the process who is going to be in charge when you get there”“Is there a procedure for this, because I thought that I would be staying at the company?”“No, we thought that it was proper to book a more suitable hotel for you considering your current condition”
Lisa bit her lips as she stood there not certain of the next step she was going to take without expecting that Williams had other plans. “I am sorry Lisa but do you have like a mannequin here at home?”“Yes, but it is pretty old because I made use of it during my college days”“Great! Please get it so we can use it to create a disguise to divert their attention”Lisa hurried inside and was back with a dummy that was dressed in the same way Lisa was dressed, as soon as Williams who was carrying the dummy drove out of the estate, and was certain that the shooters had their entire attention on them, Xavier immediately drove Lisa out taking the next smaller route through streets that lead to the airport and once they arrived there, Lisa heaved a sigh of relief. After the pleasantries between the both of them, she picked up her bags and scurried inside until their plane was ready for departure. But everything immediately turned sore as soon as she got to her seat, and the next person be
Eric was halfway asleep close to his wife’s sickbed when a call came through and he hurriedly picked up his phone. “Hello! How did it go?”“I am sorry Boss, but we failed! They somehow knew that we were coming and created a diversion”“Fuck!!” He yelled out and stamped his fist hard on the bed. “How hard can it be to deal with just a little girl, how could you mess up this entire operation!”“I am deeply sorry boss, I was going to go after her but they came after me strongly and I fled”.Eric exhaled loudly with his teeth gritted before he spoke again. “Why are people from Bryn Empire protecting Lisa so much, we need to strike a hard blow at them, but we can't do it alone, get me the contact of the Singapore cartel, and how I can reach out to them”“Yes Sir! I will be on that as soon as possible”. The call ended with Eric placing the phone on the bed and just then, another call came through, this time, it was from his manager. “Hello, Sir! You need to come in right now”“I took a br
Lisa and Hayley both got off the plane successfully, a smile filled their face as they finally stopped right before Hayley's car. “Lisa it was so nice to be able to meet with you again, Call me when you are free and we can hang out and catch up on lots of things, you need to assist me in picking up a wedding gown”“Of course, it will be my pleasure”“Alright, bye” Hayley waved at her and hopped into the car before Lisa strided over to where her chauffeur was waiting for her. “Good ma'am, welcome to Paris, a luxurious hotel room has been set for you, and a spa to help you relax after such a hectic journey”“Thank you” She nodded as she watched the middle-aged man drag her bag away and she followed behind to a limousine parked at the entrance of the airport. “Is this your first time in Paris?” He asks while driving and peeking a glance at her from the side mirror. “Yes Sir”“The president of Bryn Empire gave specific instructions that you should be taken adequate care of, there are
