CHAPTER 146-THE INTERROGATION He went into his room and got changed with one of the officers watching him. After getting ready he made his way downstairs, Collins and Mariam were with him as he moved outside, he asked only Jack and one other person to follow behind them for security reasons. They got into the car and drove to the station.Immediately they got to the station, Tony was led into the interrogation room, Mariam and Collins were not allowed inside. This made them apprehensive. What were they trying to do?After a few minutes, Inspector Gavin went into the interrogation room with one other officer , the room was under strict surveillance as Tony has been termed a criminal."Good evening, Mr Tony, you are a suspect of the murder of your cousin in Mr. Henry Storm, you're entitled to a lawyer if you have one but if you do not, you will be provided with one, do you understand,"inspector Gavin said with his face expressionless. He maintained a cool composure."I totally understa
CHAPTER 147-THE TRUTH"Meet my friend Collins, he will hand over the evidence to you."Tony said and rested more comfortably on his seat. He looked over at Preston, he was already moving uncomfortably on his seat. Preston knew that Tony had outsmarted him but he didn't know what to do to get out of the problem. "The battle line is drawn Preston, you cannot escape this,"Tony laughed out loud.Officer Gavin looked towards the invisible glass screen as he signalled to them to send Collins in.Collins entered the interrogation room in company of another point officer,he had a small bag with him like a mini briefcase. Immediately he got inside the room he placed the mini briefcase on the table and opened it. There was a huge brown envelope inside of it. He brought it out and opened it. He brought out a white document and gave it to Officer Gavin."This is the document you have right," Officer Gavin said looking at the document in his hand. How sure was he that this wasn't even forged."I h
CHAPTER 148-THE REQUEST Sleeping on the bed and oblivious of what was happening in the world around her, Helen's mother, Mrs Lugard was lying with her head resting peacefully on the pillow. The sound of the monitor was being heard loudly as it beeps in intervals. The room had good lighting and it was well ventilated.Mrs Lugard's bed was situated by the window which allowed for the easy passage of air into the room. She was still connected to her I.V medication which was flowing at the desired rate.A nurse walked into the room, she went straight to the monitor, checked Mrs Lugard's vitals in the screen after which she documented it in the chart she was holding, she proceeded to check the I.V infusion Mrs Lugard's was on and realised that it will be getting finished very soon, she quickly stepped out of the room and went to get the next infusion in order to prevent damage being done on the patient because she needed a particular amount of fluid with a specific time.The nurse was sti
CHAPTER 149-THE MEETING"So you want me to go meet Tony, how sure are you that he will listen to me,"Helen asked her mother. She doesn't know if this was a bad idea but for her mother's sake, she needs to do all she can."I'll call Tony and see if he will agree to meet and then I'll discuss with him about you wanting to see him, hope that's okay," Helen asked looking at her mother's fragile face."Yes that will be okay, I just want to talk to him and it's very important that I do this,"Mrs Lugard said as she raised her face toward the ceiling, a lot was going through her mind even in her state."Okay mom, before I go make the call, I got you some fruits and a salad by the side, you know you were saying that you had indigestion, so the nurse said that eating fruits will help with easy digestion of your meal, so I will slice some for you, I'll be right back,"Helen said , as she got up from the sit beside her mother's bed. She moved into the adjoined room by the side. It was serving as
CHAPTER 150-THE REVELATION "Thank you Tony, one is gone. There's something very important I want to tell you. It's been a secret for the longest time between my family and yours,"Mrs Lugard coughs a little. Tony quickly got water for her to drink."What secret are you talking about!""It's between my husband's family and your mother's."Mrs Lugard looked at Tony's face, trying to read his facial expression but Tony kept his face expressionless. He wanted to hear what Mrs Lugard had to say."Hmm, before now my family had no wealth, we were struggling to build our business which wasn't going very well, so my husband then was asked to be friends with you mother , win her heart and convince her to invest in the Williams business." Mrs Lugard continued."Your mom was young, she fell for the Williams trap very easily and we were able to rise into high society but because the Eduardo's were a very wealthy they didn't realise what was done to them very quickly,"Mrs Lugard said, her voice bare
CHAPTER 151-THE RESCUE Immediately Tony stood for the chair , they both heard a loud scream from outside."Aaaaaaahhhh!"Tony immediately rushed outside to see what was happening, only to see Helen slip on water and fall, that was the reason for the scream. Collins helped Helen up and took her to the restroom to clean up herself.Tony went back into the room and Mrs Lugard persuaded Tony that she should be discharged home, although Tony wasn't cool with the idea but he had to agree for the old woman's sake ."Hele, your mother has asked that she be taken home but as her guidance I want to ask if you're okay with allowing her to go home,"Tony asked Helen. A part of him felt so bad that she had to go through this kind of situation but there's really nothing he could do about it."I think it would be better to take her home, you've done your very best for us and we really appreciate you Tony, despite all the bad things I and my family did to you, you still showed us this mercy so for th
CHAPTER 152THE PHONE CALL"It's been a hectic month so far and I'm thankful that things are gradually coming to a stable pace,"Collins said, resting on the sofa in exhaustion.The lab has been calling for the past weeks to update Tony that major progress has been made concerning the cure and most people have been able to get it .Mrs Lugard is gradually regaining her health, the new cure has been given to her and her nerves and Brain tissues are gradually starting to work in response to the drug."I heard the government has taken an interest in the virus and its cure, since the senator's daughter was cured from the virus, what do you think that they want to do,"Collins asked Tony, he didn't know what he was thinking. After the government reached out to him, he hasn't said anything yet concerning their proposal to recognize him as an icon."I honestly do not know, the past months have been crazy and I don't want to get roped into anything again. You and I both know that when the gover
CHAPTER 153THE MEETING "Who was that and what was the call all about,"Collins said immediately after Tony dropped the call. The look on Tony's face was a bit apprehensive. The call must have been very important and worrisome."I just got a call from Rongtai pharmaceutical company and they said they want to meet and that they're ready to work with my schedule. When I'm ready, they will be ready too ."Tony said with a scowl on his face. He doesn't like the sound of all this."Why do they want to meet? Did they say the reason? It could be a trap. I don't like the sound of all this,"Collins said as he facepalm himself. This News gives off something odd."They didn't say the reason for the meeting. They only said that it's about a very crucial matter and it was important that we met and discussed it,"Tony said as he tapped his middle finger on the table. He didn't have a good feeling about this."What do you think, should I agree to meet? I told him that I was going to get back to him,"T
