"I was not followed, Sir," the suave voice of Matteo rang out confidently. "This is Dr. Nguyen, a valuable asset to Carmichael. With him, we can finally bring them down and get what we want."Arnold studied Matteo with a piercing gaze, his silence a testament to his astute nature. Matteo continued, choosing his words carefully as he sought to convey his loyalty and the importance of his mission."I assure you, my allegiance to the clan remains unwavering. I have sacrificed a lot to aid your missions. I've siphoned money to you and provided valuable leads and plans that will greatly benefit us. You can trust me on this, Boss," Matteo stated with a persuasive tone, his commitment underscored by a steely resolve.The discussions were intense, with Matteo revealing more secrets about Carmichael and his company and wanting assurances in exchange for his plan to unfold. After the meeting concluded, Matteo left Arnold's office, a sense of subtle triumph played across his features, his clear
Alejandro and his team arrived back at the underground tunnel, their thoughts a jumble of confusion and concern. The revelation of the New President of Amazonian Tech Inc's involvement in the kidnappings of Lindsey had shaken them to the core. And the nagging question of why Lindsey, of all people, had been specifically targeted weighed heavily on their minds.As they trudged through the dimly lit tunnel, they couldn't help but voice their thoughts, hoping to make sense of the situation.Queency furrowed her brows in frustration. "Why would the president of such a big company be involved in this? It just doesn't add up."Alejandro nodded grimly, his mind racing with possibilities. "I don't know, but Lindsey's family must be connected to something significant for her to be targeted like this."As they emerged into their base, the urgency of their mission hung heavy in the air. They knew they couldn't rely on Lindsey to provide answers, as her parents had kept her in the dark about thei
Queency and Emilia took turns explaining their situations, while Zandos provided additional details that could help Mrs. Amazon understand the gravity of the situation. "But she is in trouble and the only way we can save her is you telling us everything you know about her parents." Zandos finished.As they spoke, Mrs. Amazon's expression shifted from shock to determination. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will do everything in my power to ensure my granddaughter's safety. Her parents were Derek and Martha Amazon, Derek was my stepson and the heir to Amazonian Tech inc." she said, her voice unwavering.As Mrs. Amazon revealed this information about her late stepson and his wife, the group listened attentively, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Derek was like a son to me, but he and my son were never on good terms," Mrs. Amazon continued, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "He was hard on the outside but warm inside and very hardworking when it came t
Matteo could sense the tension weighing heavy in the room as Philip's words hung in the air, the gravity of the situation palpable. His inner turmoil was evident from the pained expression etched on his face, his heart heavy with the realization of the consequences of his actions.Standing by Matteo's side, Jake right hand held his shoulder tightly, preventing him from even moving. As Jeff spoke, offering a glimmer of hope for redemption, he could see a flicker of determination igniting within Matteo's eyes."Make sure you tell Carmichael everything, Matteo," Jake whispered softly, his right hand still on his shoulder. "I hope you get punished for betraying the clan all for your selfish interest."Matteo face paled, his resolve to tell the truth hardening, he looked ahead ready to face the difficult road ahead. As they waited for Carmichael to arrive, Jeff prepared a seat for him, knowing that the conversations he was going to have with Matteo's would be long and brutal, and hopefull
As Matteo spoke, Carmichael could see the lies in his eyes, his despicable lies palpable in the air. Despite the gravity of his past actions, there was an undeniable determination within him to keep his secret to himself. Carmichael listened attentively, the lines of his face harding slightly as Matteo continued to lie about how he was coerce into betraying his clan and working with the Dragon clan. There was a moment of silence as Carmichael watched Matteo's words, his expression blank and contemplative.Matteo's smile slipped from his face, a pained expression replacing it. It was easy to lie to Carmichael, he realized, all it took was a grieved expression and a pause in his lies. Carmichael drew closer, his fist clenched and ready to strike. With one swift motion, Carmichael struck Matteo in the stomach. The blow knocked the wind out of Matteo, and he collapsed, gasping for breath and coughing up blood.Carmichael leaned down and grabbed Matteo by the collar, hauling him back into
As Alejandro and the group meticulously laid out the evidence, the atmosphere in the room was thick with tension. Alejandro, his brow furrowed, pointed to a series of photographs, his voice strong and commanding as he explained the significance of each piece of evidence. "This photo," he began, gesturing to a grainy image on the projector screen, "was taken at the port during the time of the kidnapped. It provides a crucial timeline of events that led to the incident." As he spoke, the intensity in the room grew palpable, the officials leaning in, absorbing every word.One of the authorities, a stern-looking man in a suit, interjected, "But how can we be certain of the authenticity of these documents and recordings?" His skepticism hung heavy in the air, causing a ripple of unease among the group. Without missing a beat, a member of the team, Emilia stepped forward, her gaze unwavering as she calmly explained the rigorous verification process they had undertaken. "Every document, pho
"Then, I guess it is alright with you if we searched your company." The superintendent stated, his finger firmly tapping the desk. Mr. Carmicheal's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard. He had known the superintendent was persistent, but this was more than he had bargained for. "I... I'm sorry, but I can't let you do that. My company has a lot of proprietary information that could be compromised if you search it. And I'm not even sure if you have the legal authority to do that."The superintendent nodded slowly, as if considering Mr. Carmicheal's words. "I understand your concerns, but we have evidence that suggests otherwise. I am not at liberty to share the details of our evidence, but I can assure you that it is credible and warrants a search of your company. We are not asking for permission, Mr. Carmicheal, we are informing you of what is going to happen." The superintendent's tone was firm and authoritative, leaving no room for debate.Mr. Carmicheal felt his heart sink as he rea
After bidding Mrs. Katherine a tearful farewell, Lindsey made her way to visit Mrs. Amazon, her grandmother, who was surrounded by shadows of disbelief and remorse in her home. When Lindsey entered, Mrs. Amazon looked up at her with eyes clouded by the weight of her emotions."Lindsey," Mrs. Amazon's voice trembled as she spoke, "I am so glad that you are safe and sound. I can't believe that my own son could have been involved in such hurtful actions and I knew nothing about it. I feel so lost and overwhelmed."Lindsey sat beside Mrs. Amazon, wrapping her in a gentle embrace. "Grandma, I understand how hard this is for you, but please know that it's not your fault. You couldn't have known or prevented what happened," Lindsey offered words of comfort, her voice soft and soothing. "These are incredibly difficult circumstances, and you don't have to face them alone. I am here for you, and I want to help in any way I can."Mrs. Amazon nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. "I feel so helpl
