Alfred sighed as he paced around the mansion not knowing what next to do. Even though he wasn't sure yet. According to the investigation leads, it was his foster mother who was the cause of his parent's accident.He had tried to think about it, but then he just didn't know where to start. Why would the five families join hands with such a small family to wipe them out at that time?They were afraid of something which wasn't clear to Alfred. Also at that time, the power of the Clarkson family was very great and not many could contend with them.But then even at that, the four families weren't able to acquire even one-third of the Clarkson family wealth as Mark's parents were quite wise so even after their death what they were able to get was very limited.The family of Mark's Foster mother was only able to get some company which was why they were not on the scale of the other families, if not, the Clarkson family wealth at that time was enough to push them to the very top and even incr
The next morning, Mark dressed up after Michelle went to work and headed to Alfred's place. There were many questions on his mind and he had to clarify them."Young master, here you are." Alfred smiled immediately as Mark entered the sitting room. He had been expecting him as he knew he was going to come."Is what you said yesterday over the phone the truth or just a speculation?" Mark frowned going straight to the point."It's the truth." Alfred sighed.He received a call last night from one of his men saying it was the truth, not a speculation, but there was yet to be evidence.Mark's heart sank upon hearing Alfred's words. He had wanted it to be a speculation, but hearing Alfred saying it was the truth plummeted him into the abyss. He couldn't take it.The one whom he took as his mother was the one who had mustard his family for personal gains. Just to steal their wealth. Mark couldn't help but sigh."Is there any evidence yet?""Not yet, there's no evidence, they are still looking
Ma'am Elizabeth sucked in some cold air hearing Michelle's question, she had never expected a day like this to come. She wondered where Michelle had heard it from.It seems like her thoughts were right, Mark was already investigating the death of his parents. But then why didn't the families involved do anything to stop him? She was sure that they knew that he was investing.Was he so powerful now that there was no way to stop him? That shouldn't be the reason. Or could it be that some other circumstances had happened along the way?No matter how Ma'am Elizabeth thought about it, she just couldn't understand what was happening."Mum, you've yet to answer my question." Michelle's cold voice came from the other end of the phone."Fine, since you want to know the truth, I'll let you know." Ma'am Elizabeth snapped, feeling annoyed."I'm the real mastermind behind Mark's parent's death and even the five prominent families were only a pawn in the game.""All I did was incite hatred, I didn'
"Mum, what are you trying to say?" Michelle frowned."I just said all I said out of anger, I didn't know about Mark's parent's death." Ma'am Elizabeth sighed from the other end of the phone."If that's the case, then why did you swallow up his inheritance that made you what you are today, and yet, you never allowed him to enjoy a little of his parent's wealth?" Michelle frowned as she used this opportunity to ask the question that had been plaguing her for about some time."I..." Ma'am Elizabeth shuttered not knowing what to say.Michelle had hit the soft spot. She had swallowed up all of Mark's inheritance and yet she didn't even allow him to enjoy it. Why had she done that?She wanted Mark to suffer for the sins of his parents, she wasn't satisfied even after killing his parents, she wanted to make him suffer the sins of his Parents and carry the weight of his family.She enjoyed every moment she used to torture Mark. She couldn't help but take pleasure in his misfortune and was alw
"Oh, you want to know why I decided to kill your parents?" Ma'am Elizabeth sneered when she heard Mark's question.Mark on the other hand tried his best to keep his temper down as he was feeling very annoyed. He had no other choice but to clench his fist as he waited for Ma'am Elizabeth to say whatever she wanted to say.Michelle on the other hand was in a dilemma, since the phone was on loudspeaker, she could hear the conversation between her mother and Mark. She just didn't know what to do next.Even if she wanted to comfort Mark, she didn't know how she was going to do it. Everything was just complicated and no matter how hard she thought, she just couldn't come up with anything."Do you still want to know or you've given up?" Ma'am Elizabeth sneered as she didn't hear any reply from Mark."I'll still like to know," Mark replied through clenched teeth. It was evident that he was trying hard to hold back his anger, but he was finding it rather impossible."Your grandfather was respo
Mark and Michelle raised their heads simultaneously at the intruder. Mark's expression was calm while Michelle's expression was conflicted.What the hell was the secretary thinking? Barging in at a time like this. Didn't she know the concept of privacy? Also what the hell had happened that she didn't know?"I'm sorry if I have disturbed you, ma'am." The secretary apologized, noticing the awkward atmosphere and the way Michelle was staring at her."I'll come back later to inform you of the issue." She continued intending to leave the office."Since you've come, why don't you say what you wanted to say? I'm sure Michelle is okay with it." Mark smiled, stopping the secretary from going."But...""Don't worry, you didn't intrude on our privacy, you were just doing your job." Mark smiled as she reassured the nervous secretary."Yes sir." The secretary nodded and turned to Michelle."So what do you have to say?" Michelle frowned as she stared at the secretary."Ma'am, we've just discovered
"What problem?" Mark sighed as he asked slowly."The four families are on the move. They are afraid that you'll do something so they want to act fast." Alfred replied."What's their plan?" Mark frowned. He had not expected the four families to move in such a hurry. He had thought that they were going to keep calm and just watch everything happen.But then he didn't expect everything to go wayward which meant something or someone was the driving force."Could it be Ma'am Elizabeth?" Mark frowned as he muttered under his breath.He just couldn't think of another person who had such capabilities to make the four families move. Even though she wasn't going to threaten them, he was sure that she must have found some way to manipulate them into doing her bidding.Ma'am Elizabeth was more cunning than he had thought. He needed to be careful or else he was going to be affected. But then what the hell was he going to do?It was now it dawned on him, what had just happened at the company was no
Mark smiled bitterly as he brought out his phone. He was sure that the people who were following him were sent by the four families and that something significant was about to happen.Well whatever they were thinking, he was going to thwart their plans and make them regret attacking him in the first place. Also, ma'am Elizabeth, he was going to do something to her. But the problem was that he wanted to make it legal.According to his calculations, Ma'am Elizabeth should be called to court the next day and yet she had time to run amok. How audacious? It seems like she had no fear of anything. Well, it was none of Mark's business.He was going to do whatever was on his mind. He couldn't afford to wait any longer. The longer he waited, the more his life was in danger and he had to do something too, or else he wouldn't know when he died."Young master." Alfred's panicked voice came from the other end of the phone immediately after the call was connected."There are some people following me
