“I always knew you had it in you. This is amazing. Not only were you able to stall Jack from launching his new product, you've also helped us find a way to sabotage the old one. Brilliant, just brilliant,” Michelle heaped praises on Trent a few days later when he returned to Milton City and told them what he had obtained.“It's great but we should hold on about doing anything with it for now,” Micheal said in his cold voice. “The little bitch is still alive and if there's one thing I know about those damn Bolton's, they never give up. She still suspects you and since we were unsuccessful in assassinating her, I suggest we lay low until that threat is taken care of.”Micheal did not want to take any chances of getting carried away by the euphoria of this early success. He understood that they had a long way to go if they were to take the Bolton Empire as a whole down. Bolton Tech was just their first stop.“I think we should strike while the Iron is hot, and send them into chaos. Wasn'
CHAPTER 195Jack knew he was facing yet another enemy and this one was not like the others who reared their heads like a dangerous viper ready to strike. This enemy was cunning and smart and like Camila's word said, Within.Who could it be? Camila's words only made it more obvious that it was someone close to him that leaked their new products to the enemies of the Carter but who would he suspect?Everyone that was really close to him, he trusted with his life. Yes, he couldn't be killed but that was beside the point. He trusted them to that extent.Right now, it was just a speculation, he needed a plan to really be sure if there was indeed a mole in his inner circle.A plan started to brew in his mind go fish out who it was, so he called an inner circle meeting to see if this plan would work.“I'm guessing you all know why I called this meeting but if you don't, let me start off by telling you exactly why. Two months ago, we gathered at a meeting like this to discuss the development
Mildred had just left the meeting where Jack laid out his plans to take down the Carters. She was not pleased that he didn't see things from her point of view and since she didn't have any proof either, she couldn't point an accusing finger.When Trent took her side, it had the opposite effect to what he was going for. Rather than sway her from thinking he was the mole, it only convinced her the more.The Scott she used to know would never take anyone's side above Jack's, no matter what, so the moment he did it, she thought it was on purpose and it only strengthened her resolve the more.Right now, she was heading to meet with Alister, the private investigator who she had hired to follow Trent. The meeting was at their usual place, the public library.“So what have you got for me?” Mildred asked the older man, giving him a pointed look. She hoped it was good information, one that could immediately nail Scott.“So every now and then, after the close of work, he pays a visit to this buil
Jack stormed into the hospital when he got the news of Mildred being involved in an accident and being rushed to Milton City specialist hospital.“Where is she?” He asked Alicia who had gotten there way before him since Greyjoy island was closer to Milton than Coral city.“Calm down baby, she’s in the ICU. She’s in a really bad state,” Alicia said, running into Jack’s arms and crying.Jack soothed her as he felt unease rise in his chest. How did it happen that all three of her cars were involved in an accident at the same time.He led Alicia to a corner seat as they waited for a doctor or nurse to come and give them an update on what was happening with her.Just then, Eagle arrived, flanked by two police officers and a member of the emergency rescue team that had rescued Mildred’s car from the crash scene.“This fucking shit wasn’t an accident boss, it was fucking planned. Tell him what you found out,” Eagle said in a cold voice to the police officers.“What!” Alicia jumped out of Jac
Unlike Lucas and his men's usual behaviour, they were not having fun as was their usual routine with a lot of booze, smoke and women.Lucas was weary. He knew he had flouted Bethany's warning and a repercussion was sure to follow.It was why today, every floor in his house was occupied with men. He invited as many of them as he could lay his hands on and made sure they were all heavily armed as a protection against Bethany.He was ready to take over Bethany's throne and that could only be done with some hostility. He had made his first move, an act of defiance and now he was waiting for Bethany's move.He knew this was not a battle that strategy alone could give you victory on, brute strength and a show of power was also necessary.There were four floors in total in Lucas’ mansion and each floor had at least a hundred men all armed to the teeth ready to defend with Lucas himself at the topmost floor, a few steps away from his helipad Incase things got messy.He knew Bethany commanded
Jack shut the door behind him as he entered the room where Lucas was. Lucas' eyes immediately snapped to the door when it opened.He didn't recognize the man who was glaring at him. Where were all his men? How did he get past them? How did he get here? Who was he?Lucas was not a man that was scared of another man, no matter who that man was or what power he controlled but there was something about the man standing at the door that made him feel a sense of fear he could not explain.“Are you Lucas?” Jack's tone dripped with spite and venom.“Who's fucking asking?” Lucas mustered enough courage to ask in a cocky and fearless tone.“Wrong answer?” Jack spat out in fury. He flung his hand with force and despite the distance between him and Lucas, an invisible hand slapped Lucas across the face, sending him crashing into the wall.Killing Lucas in anger and vengeance was an easy thing to do but Jack wanted him to feel pain. Like Mildred must have felt pain as her bones broke and her skin s
Micheal Carter froze when he heard Jack's voice. He recognized that voice all too well. If Jack has gotten to Micheal, that meant he was in trouble and he needed to get away as fast as possible.Lucas never knew anything about Trent, the reason why Micheal wanted Mildred dead was never revealed to him, so Micheal knew that secret was safe from Jack and most of their plans would still go on as usual as long as Trent was never found out.He decided right then and there to go into deep hiding again and continue to work from behind the scene.Dashing out of his home office, he went straight to his sister and partner in crime, Michelle.“We have a problem,” Micheal said in a exasperated tone, the dismay of losing all the progress they had made against Jack in the last few months was clear in his eyes.Michelle raised a brow at him. “What is it?”“It's Jack. He found out I'm behind his sister's attempted murder and he's coming for me as we speak,” Micheal answered in a weak tone, disappoint
On the day that Mildred was telling Bethany what really happened and how and why she suspected Scott was up to something and probably behind her kidnap and attempted murder that she lied was just a random robbery, Alicia had overhead them.When she came into the house that day, she had overhead the two women speaking in hushed tones as she approached Bethany's room, so she decided to make hot chocolate for three of them to just get into girls chatter and talk about different things but when she got back, she could hear the conversation clearly and knew Mildred was trying to keep it a secret from everyone so she eavesdropped and got out of sight.She had been having her own mild suspicions about Scott lately and Mildred's confession only made it heighten.She started to pay more attention to how touchy Scott had become towards her, the words he would say, the way he would praise her, his mannerisms and gestures towards her.Compared to the way he was in the past, it was very different.
