One proposal from the CEO and they ditched the Morbians immediately!" Sasha giggled excitedly."That's wholesome!" Mrs Bruce exclaimed, "That's going to be a great loss to the Morbians.""Serves them about right." Sasha snickered."Still, that doesn't mean they should be looked down upon." Mrs Bruce defended."Are you still blind to see that the Era of the Morbians has ended? The Nolvani are what is reigning now! We should find out who the CEO is and suggest Alina to him if he's single.""And if he is not?""Suggest Alina to him as a second wife. I'm sure Alina wouldn't mind."Mrs Bruce kept silent, thinking. "But you do know the Morbians are topping the list in the country.""They won't be there for long, trust me? If we are not careful, our company is ranking fifth right? We might never be in the top three beca

If there was one thing he learnt growing up, while Adams seldomly gets pissed, it was to never to interrupt him, whenever he is angry.It took about fifteen minutes before Adams calmed down enough to glare at the damage he had caused.He glances at Asher as if noticing him for the first time. "I woke up, didn't I?""It's fine." Asher smiled reassuringly, "How are you feeling? What's wrong?!""Remember I was done with that case?"" Yes, you should be happy.""I know right, I should be, but that's sly if Jonas Logan, he asked me to look for the thief of his sister. Trish.""Jonas Logan?" Asher echoed in his mind.

Alina flushed, "I am just being curious.""Really?""Yes, I don't have any other reason.""Yeah..""I got caught up in somethings. Sorry for keeping you worried.""What exactly have you been up to? You aren't even working!!""Don't worry about it." Ryan tells her.Alina glares at him but doesn't say anything, if she pushes further, she knows it's going to backfire at her.She heads to the kitchen, made herself coffee with gin, trying to work out her emotions.*** *** Ryan and Asher arrived the family house, they had everything ready.Ryan stayed back in the car, entrusting everything in Asher's hands.When Asher entered, his heart was in his throat, to him, it was like walking in th

Jonas exclaimed, "We can't leave an inheritance worth billions in your care, can we?""It's been with me for three years and I didn't run away with it. I don't see any reason for your distrust.Jonas sat on the Lawyer's table, cross legged."We are here to claim what rightfully belongs to us."Is that so?" Lawyer finally glances at them, "Because lady I checked, it belongs to a boy called Owen."Jonas brought out the death certificate he went to the mortuary to get and slaps it on the desk, "here is the proof that your Owen is dead?"Lawyer barely glances at the paper, "I'm sorry to announce, but there's no inheritance for you to have anymore, because a guy who claims to be Owen left my office with the inheritance."What?!" Jonas screamed, "Can't you see he was

Grandma Joan noticed their excitement but doesn't say anything, sht thought they would stop by her place before going out to tell her what was going, and was disappointed and angry when they didn't.

Alina said through gritted teeth, earning a shrug from Ryan."Should I attend to the door or do you want to?""You can." Ryan tells her, sitting on a kitchen stool and eating pancakes."Mum?!"
