Mr. Michael Anderson's face was a mask of frustration as he paced back and forth in his lavish living room. His son Lewis had been detained for almost a month, and the only thing on his mind was finding out who had the influence to keep him locked up despite his best efforts to pull strings. It was an insult to his personality.Finally, Lewis had been released, but the whole event left a bitter taste in Michael's mouth. He couldn't stop the feeling that someone powerful was working against him, and he was eager to find out who.Michael slammed the phone down after another fruitless call. "This is absurd! How can no one know anything? I have connections in every major department, and yet, no one can tell me who has this much influence!"Eloise Anderson, his wife, looked up from her book, trying to calm him. "Darling, maybe it's time to let it go. Lewis is home now, and that's what matters.""Let it go? How can I let it go when someone out there has more power over the police than I do?
The EncounterMr. Michael Anderson had been searching for Harvey for weeks. Ever since the series of unfortunate events that left his son Lewis humiliated and his company on the brink of bankruptcy, Michael had become increasingly obsessed with finding out who was responsible. He couldn't nod off the feeling that Harvey, whom he had always looked down upon, might have played a role in their downfall. However, he still believed Harvey was nothing more than a poor, pathetic burden.Doing everything he can to prevent his company from falling, Michael decided to visit the Stephenson Corporation. He knew they were one of the major players in the city and thought that someone there might have information or could help him. After a long meeting, which yielded no useful information, Michael was leaving the building, fuming with frustration.As he walked out of the towering glass doors, Michael's sharp eyes caught sight of a familiar face standing by the entrance. Luckily for Harvey, he was si
The Anderson MansionHarvey took a deep breath as he approached the grand entrance of the Anderson mansion. The imposing structure dominated above him, its high pillars and decorated design exuding wealth and power. A place that brought him bitter memories. It still felt fresh in his mind. He knew that stepping inside would be like walking into a lion’s den, but he had no choice. Mr. Michael had demanded his presence, and Harvey intended to keep his word, no matter how distasteful the visit would be.He rang the doorbell, and after a few moments, the heavy wooden door creaked open. Garcia, his ex-wife, stood in the doorway, her eyes narrowing in disdain when she saw him. From the look on her face, it was obvious that she hated him with everything in her.“What are you doing here?” she snapped, not bothering with pleasantries.“Your father asked me to come,” Harvey replied calmly. Not caring to greet her. Garcia stepped aside, allowing him to enter while eyeing and hissing. As Harvey
The humiliation At The Anderson’s MansionMr Micheal looked at Harvey for a long time and hissed before asking him the questions that were on his mind.“Okay. Harvey, tell me why you came late. I told you to come earlier, why do you have to undermine my warning?” Michael demanded, his voice was cold and intimidating.Harvey hesitated, knowing that whatever excuse he gave would be misjudged. Though he totally forgot, he wasn't scared of Anderson. “I was held up by some personal matters. I apologize for the delay. I didn't mean to disrespect you.”Michael’s eyes flashed with anger. “Personal matters? That’s your excuse? Do you even have a life? What matter can be more important than my house? Harvey. Not for one second. But we’ll come back to that later. First, I want to know what you know about the person who locked my son up. Who detained Lewis for over a month?”Harvey felt a chill run down his spine. He had expected this question, but now that it was here, he knew he had to tread ca
Professor Jason nodded, his eyes glinting with approval. “There’s a high-profile event coming up. The Andersons are planning to announce their reclaimed contract publicly. It’s the perfect opportunity to strike.”Harvey’s mind raced with possibilities. “We’ll need to disrupt the event in a way that publicly embarrasses Lewis, especially in front of the key investors and partners. It has to be something they can’t recover from.”As the date of the event approached, tension built on both sides. The Andersons were confident in their approaching success, having managed to reclaim the contract and feeling they were on the brink of discovering who had been behind Lewis’s detention. They had no idea that Harvey was one step ahead, planning their downfall with meticulous precision.On the day of the event, the Andersons arrived in high spirits. The venue was an affluent ballroom, filled with the city’s most influential business figures, investors, and media. The atmosphere was electric with e
Another BlowThe result of the humiliating event left the Anderson family in shambles. Their public image was tarnished, and the confidence of their investors was shattered. Nobody wants to work with them anymore and they are gradually failing.Mr. Michael's face was etched with anger and disappointment, he blamed Lewis for their setbacks. while Lewis's desperation to redeem himself grew by the day. He wasn't relenting; he was eager to prove himself.In the grand study of the Anderson mansion, Mr. Michael paced back and forth, his expression was dark. As he blames Lewis. “This is all your fault, Lewis,” he spat, glaring at his son. “Your incompetence has ruined us. Now, we are a Mockery in the business world.”Lewis, seething with frustration, clenched his fists. “I’m sorry, Dad but I'm not giving up, never. We can still turn this around. We just need to be smarter. And wiser this time.”Garcia and Mrs. Eloise watched the heated exchange silently, their faces were lined with worry an
The Price of HelpLewis Anderson sat in the luxurious but increasingly lonely Anderson mansion, feeling the effect of his failures pressing down on him. He was desperate for a way out of their financial mess, his father had been throwing annoying words at him. so he turned to the one person he thought could help—his sister, Gracia.He wanted her to use her influence to get help for him from her new man, Edward.“Gracia, I don’t know what to do anymore, I've done everything but nothing seems to be working,” Lewis confessed, his voice heavy with despair. “Dad’s blaming me for everything, and I’ve lost almost all our money. We need a miracle to survive.”Gracia, always the more level-headed of the two, listened intently. “Lewis, we can’t afford to make any more mistakes. We need to think this through carefully. Then find a way around it. Any hasty decision would definitely be a disaster.”Lewis nodded, though his eyes were filled with doubt. He wanted urgent help and he had thought about
The Rising ThreatHarvey sat in his office, a collection of documents spread out before him. He had spent weeks monitoring Edward’s every move and dissecting his lifestyle. Edward had displayed himself as a savior for the Anderson family, but Harvey knew better. He had dug deep and discovered that Edward’s past was riddled with fraudulent activities and scams. This was the leverage Harvey needed.“Professor Jason,” Harvey called, his voice echoing in the large office. “I need you to compile everything we’ve got on Edward. Every scam, every fraudulent activity. We’re going to use this to our advantage.”Jason nodded. “Right away, Harvey. We’ll make sure Edward’s reputation is thoroughly tarnished.”Harvey leaned back in his chair, a plan forming in his mind. He would use his resources to secretly lift the Andersons out of their financial troubles, allowing them to pay off Edward and crash his plans to take over the company.Days turned into weeks, and Harvey’s secret support started sh
