He quickly got himself ready as he checked his wristwatch and noticed the meeting was in few minutes.Shortly after, all the departmental heads headed to the designated location for the meeting. They all sat waiting for the CEO to come, they looked at each other wondering what the urgent meeting was for, but none could ask the other But they were all aware such meetings could happen anytime.

CHAPTER 63: LOCK THEM UP.Mr Cornell returned back from the meeting with the CEO and headed to his office, passing Joey's desk, and said nothing to them.The staff expected the heads to return and pass some information to them, but Mr Cornell didn't do anything of such.One of Joey's colleague pushed his chair towards Joey and whispered to his ear, asking him if their boss Mr Cornell wasn't going to say anything to them about the meeting they had."I don't think there's anything he needed to inform us about," Joey said, as he was really tensed and wasn't even ready to hear whatever information Mr Cornell had to say, because he thought it was gonna be some bad news."Well, I think there is but he isn't ready to let us know," Joey's colleague reasoned."Whatever it is,"Joey casually said, as he relaxed his back on his chair.The colleague shrugged, and rolled his chair back, focusing on his computer before him.Joey was pretending to be okay but he wasn't. He couldn't hold himself anymo
CHAPTER 64: COMPLICATIONS."Hello Mr Cornell," one of officers greeted, to confirm if they were at the right place."Hello officer. How may I help you?" Mr Cornell asked, glaring at the officer."You're Mr Cornell I presume?" the officer asked."Yes I am. How may I help you?" Mr Cornell asked again, trying to know what they were up to."I am Officer Mike and these are my colleagues," he introduced himself, gesturing his hand behind him as his two colleagues walked in as well."And you are under arrest for being fraudulent with Cap Industries finances," officer Mike said, moving towards him holding a pair of cuffs in his hand."Who told you tha-" Mr Cornell wanted to speak."You have the right to remain silent for whatever you may say or do can and will be used against you at the court of law," officer Mike interrupted him.Mr Cornell was handcuffed and he was taken out of his office.

CHAPTER 65: EMOTIONAL BRIBERY.Detective Savannah reported to the station early morning the next day. She sat on her desk thinking on how to go about the Joey's case. She never wanted Justin to know she was a detective for now so she could achieve her aim.And now that the case had been assigned to her, Justin would definitely find out soon enough. So, she thought of what to do about the situation.'Should I present this to Riley or I should approach the boss?' she thought.While she was still in thought, her partner Riley arrived the office. "Good morning," Riley casually greeted her, as he was upset that she didn't grant his request of going with him to have a drink together the other night.He had planned to let his intension known to her that night but she didn't give him the chance to do that.It wasn't really Savannah's fault, because she thought it was a casual hanging out. So she gave her time to something more important to her, which was making her friendship with Justin str
CHAPTER 66: ON THE RUN."I believe it's something in the house that wasn't properly kept that might have fallen," one of the cops guessed, as they were in the car parked at Joey's house watching to see if he could come home to pick something."Won't that be the guy who just walked passed here?" the second cop asked as he second guessed what his colleague had said."Let's go check," he said, and they both hurriedly came down from the car and rushed to see what it was exactly. The door was locked and there wasn't a way they could go in except broke and entered, but that was out of the plan for now."I told you that wasn't a sound of someone in there," one of the cops said, as he tried to look through the window, but saw nothing.The other cop observed and decided to go check behind to see if there was an entrance to the house, as he wasn't satisfied with them peeping through the window.He got there and saw that there was an entrance to the house. And he noticed that someone had sneake
CHAPTER 67: DESPERATE MOVE.Mr Adams arrived his house as he was done from his office. He had heard the news about what happened at the Cap Industries, and how his son was meant to be arrested.He couldn't tell if what he heard that his son did was true or not. Joey never gave room for his family to be able to tell whether or not he could do such a thing.All they believed was what Joey always told them about the prestigious position he held at the office, hence the reason for his life of extravagance.He thought Joey could be in trouble as he hadn't heard from him, and neither did Joey find his way to Texas. So Mr Adams decided to put a call across to him.His both lines were unreachable. Mr Adams became worried, wondering if anything wrong had happened to his son.Magdalene his wife came out from the room as she noticed her husband had arrived from work, and he was seated at the living room."What was this that I heard about Joey?" she asked, looking tensed up."I don't know as well
CHAPTER 68: A THOUGH PROPOSAL.Joey was staring expectantly at the man who had approached him at the bar, so he could state whatever he wanted them to do as he couldn't wait to be free from the mess he had put himself in."You're sure you gonna do whatever I tell you to?" the man asked Joey so he could be sure."Just go on with it already," Joey said, as he couldn't wait to hear what the proposition was."We're gonna pay some thugs to kidnap Justin and get rid of him," the man proposed."You mean kill him?" Joey asked, opening his eyes in fear. He was a bad guy that had no truth in him, but murder was out of the question. Not even Justin his cousin."That's too much please. I never intended killing anyone," Joey rejected the proposal. "I did hate Justin because he was smarter than me. But to kill him, I can't do that.""Well. In this case you have no choice," the man said."What exactly are you trying to say?" Joey questioned."I mean, you rather do what i want you to do or you will b
CHAPTER 69: UNEXPECTED TRIP.Mr Adams and his wife arrived at the airport and they headed to New York City. They actually did not know how they were going to approach Justin, or where they were gonna meet him.They decided to make the trip nonetheless, believing that after they had arrived New York City, they were definitely going to find a way."You have to shove away every hatred you have against Justin," Mr Adams advised his wife, so she doesn't get there and begin showing herself as usual."I mean why will I behave in such manner when my son is at stake here," she said."I just needed to tell you because of how you get irritated by his sight alone," Mr Adams said."I mean, I should but I will try my best just because of my son," she said."I really do not understand why you hate him so much. You took care of him from childhood," Mr Adams wonderd."All of a sudden you developed some sort of hatred for him. You know I can't say anything about all you were doing to him because he's y
