Thank you for reading. ❤️
CHAPTER 91“Find them! Find those bastards and when you do, bring them to me alive. I’ll kill them myself,” Laurel ordered his men viciously.Him and his brother returned to the apartment where the White Finger group were lodged, only to find out that they were missing. The guards stationed to keep an eye on them were knocked out cold and there was no sign of the group.Laurel immediately used his connections to block any chance of them leaving the city by land, sea or air. He spread his men everywhere and they had pictures of the people they were searching for.“We should never have trusted those snakes. I mean this was a simple enough job. They sabotaged it on purpose!” Laurel yelled, talking to his brother.“Fuck!” Gregory cursed. “It’s possible that nothing happened with the money. They’ve been playing us all along.”It was hard for them to think at this moment that Jack was behind everything. They had no reason to think that. To them, Jack was down and out and it was only a matter
CHAPTER 92“You know you did this. Don’t fucking act like you didn’t!” Gregory yelled, losing his cool. He didn’t know what Jack’s plan was yet but hearing that his other board members were willing to sell their shares for peanuts to Jack to save the company angered him deeply.When he and his brother met Trent Garner and returned to Coral city, their singular aim was to cripple Jack Bolton and his budding empire and they gave it their best shot.They bombed his mega hotel project to rubble and cost him greatly, but he found a way to turn that around. They killed him three times but alas, the man woke up from the dead and then he was unkillable. They hired the White finger group to steal his company’s reserves, bringing his empire to its feet and they were finally able to enjoy a little sweet taste of victory but even that would not last long as Jack had found a way to turn everything around, putting them in the same spot they had him in a few months ago.They tried to contact Blackbol
CHAPTER 93They were there that night at the party when Governor Clint introduced Jack as his godson and in fact, it was because of Jack that they had received the ban. They knew what was coming next. Jack would undoubtedly buy their board members complete trust and confidence once he talks to his godfather and they couldn’t have that. Laurel walked over to the table and slammed his fists on it. His eyes narrowed dangerously at Jack and Jack gave him an equally deadly look. “This meeting is over!” He announced. “We are not selling and that is our decision as the chairmen. We have Veto power over this board and our company’s guidelines clearly states that if any of the board members are to sell their shares, they sell to already existing members of the company and not outsiders.”“True. But I don’t have money to buy from anyone and I’m sure no one has the money to buy from me either. We have almost lost everything with you at the helm of leadership. If Mr. Bolton is going to save us,
CHAPTER 94“Can you move that thing faster than I can pull this trigger?” The ring finger asked cockily, pulling a gun on Laurel.Pinkie and the middle finger had filled the rest of the group on the kind of mystical power Laurel’s amulet contained. Pinkie called it the necklace of the devil, a talisman of death.“Why don’t we find out?” Laurel replied coldly, his eyes scanning every single member of the group.These were people that he hired and partnered with for a job. He even agreed to a 50/50 split with them so that they could do the job, but in the end, they partnered with his arch enemy and caused him to lose half of his company shares along with 21 trillion dollars to Jack Bolton.His anger was palpable and at that moment, he didn’t mind that the bullet would take him out, after all, he wasn’t immune like Jack but he just wanted to make them pay, even if it meant losing his life.“No need to do anything rash Laurel. We had no choice, he had us backed into a corner. It was either
CHAPTER 95“In your fucking dreams. You did this Jack. You did all of this! I hate you. I fucking hate you,” Laurel yelled. He felt completely powerless, useless and defeated. After months of terrorising and tormenting Jack, it only took Jack three days to take him and his brother down.“You think this is your fucking grand revenge scheme? Well you better hope we don’t get to see the light again because I promise that if we do, I’m coming for everything that you are,” Gregory spat venomously,Jack scoffed and shook his head. Their threats didn’t faze him. He had a plan much worse than prison for them. This was only so he could get the shares and not exactly to put them away.“No one has time for your baseless threats. Are you signing the papers or not?” Jack asked icily with a sneer on his face.The Smith brothers knew they had no choice. It was either they made some money from selling to Jack or they made absolutely nothing by refusing to sell and Jack would still be able to take thei
CHAPTER 96“Thank you so much Barrister Paul. We weren’t expecting things to go so smoothly or for the case to be so easily resolved,” Gregory said to the lawyer after the judge’s final verdict.He had hope. Since the case didn’t turn out as Jack probably wanted, they had a chance of getting back their shares from him. They may have signed the share transfer documents but there was a one week period for such transactions to be overruled.“You really shouldn’t thank me. It was Mr. Bolton who handled everything. Honestly, when the coroner’s first report came, there was no cyanide poisoning but then I got a call from Mr. Bolton in the wee hours of this morning to meet up with the coroner and his reports had changed,” Barrister Paul replied.Laurel and Gregory’s hearts suddenly started to pound hard in their chest. What game was Jack playing? What was his aim? Laurel immediately remembered Jack’s promise and he began to sweat.“So you mean Jack Bolton was the reason the coroner changed his
CHAPTER 97Several minutes into the drive, Laurel realised they were going in a different direction from what the GPS on his phone was saying. “Hey! Where the heck are you taking us?” He yelled but he got no response.He became frantic, knocking on the barricade. “Hey Mr. Man, can you hear me? The airport is the other way!” He yelled again.The barricade slowly opened. “Please be calm sir, there was a terrible accident along that road this morning, that’s why I’m taking another route,” Rojo calmly replied but in fact, he was driving them straight to their destruction.“Accident? There was no accident recorded on the road, I can’t see any congestion on the app here,” Laurel replied, knowing fully well that the GPS system worked in real time and if there was an accident, it would be on the app and there would be congestion shown on the route.“Are you sure sir? Maybe you should look again,” Rojo replied calmly still, a small mischievous smile on his face as he steered the car gently.La
CHAPTER 98“Why did you do it?”“What do you have to say for yourself?”“Such atrocities should be severely punished.”“They deserve death for doing such despicable things.”“We should lynch them. They deserve to die.”Press members and different people in the crowd questioned and expressed their grievances. The Smith brothers knew what was coming next for them wasn’t pretty. The agitated crowd slowly started to move towards them in anger.Gregory quickly shoved Rojo, who was standing by the driver’s door with a smug look on his face to the floor and quickly got in. As if on cue, Laurel got into the back of the car. They knew they had no choice. They just had to try and make a run for it. If they waited any more second, the mob would lynch them.“What do we do? Where do we go?” Gregory asked impatiently. He was totally confused and flabbergasted. It was he who admitted to all of their sins. How could he have known that Jack had such a sinister plan?“Drive straight to the airport. Go
