With no option left for Him, Noah and his family decided to sell off their properties and meet up with the CEO's ultimatum."Mr. Alex the factory is worth 100,000,000, But we can sell it for 80,000,000 since you know we are in dire need of money," Noah explained to the buyer. He was the tenth person Coming for the property that day and Noah hoped he would just buy and save them the stress.Mr.Alex cleared his throat, "I'm sorry, but I don't think I can pay that for a factory as old as this, I need to make necessary maintenance and that might cost a lot, ""What can you pay?" Noah asked in desperation. he didn't want a long talk but a straight-to-the-point business.Mr.Alex adjusted in his chair, "I can give Half the price," He said with finality in his tone and Noah arched a brow. The factory was one of his family's biggest possessions and his dad had spent millions building it.He could tell all the buyers were aware of his family's present predicament and were ready to make a mocker
"Do you think it's a good idea?" Mr. Williams questioned his wife, he was not sure if what they had agreed was a wise decision. "It should be, you can see how they were able to pay Jeremy what they owe without going bankrupt, I'm sure they have a reservoir somewhere," Mrs. Williams said."What about Steve's request that Jeremy and Avery must be present for the dinner, are you okay with that? You know The Peters can be a handful," Mr. Williams noted with concern. The last thing he wanted was the usual drama between his family and the Peters.Mrs. Williams took a deep breath, "If I had my way, I wouldn't want the Peters anywhere close to us because they've always had a way of putting us down but with Jeremy not willing to cooperate with the money he got from them, we just had to play along and get the loan we need from them to stand our company again," Just then Jeremy and Avery walked in to join the dinner, Avery had pleaded with Jeremy not to turn down her grandparent's request for
A well deserved PunchSteve's laughter rang out, tinged with malice. "Don't get too cocky, Jeremy. If it wasn't for the support of the Blue Silver Entertainment CEO, you'd be behind bars by now, not strutting around like you own the place," he taunted.Jeremy's eyes glinted with defiance. "And if it weren't for one of your sugar mummies, you'd be sleeping on a filthy floor with no ventilation, Steve," he quipped.Mrs. Peters' reaction was immediate and furious.Enraged by Jeremy's words, Mrs. Peters jumped to her feet, her face with fury. "How dare you speak to me that way!" she spat, her hand raised to strike him. But Avery, was quick to intervene, blocking Mrs. Peters' path."Don't you dare lay a finger on him," she growled, her eyes flashing with protectiveness. "If you want my husband's respect, you must respect him too." Her stance was unyielding, a clear warning that any further aggression would not be tolerated.The Williams were short of words, about what was happening, they k
Exposed!One week had passed since the fight between Jeremy and Steve, and in that time, Steve had been relentless in his pursuit of revenge. He had sent numerous threats to the Williams family, promising that he would make them pay for Jeremy's supposed act of violence.Steve took legal action against Jeremy, filing a case for physical assault, escalating the conflict to a whole new level."Jeremy, what's this? I think you should just call Steve and apologize, please. We are already in a mess with Noah's family, we can't afford more chaoticness," Mr. Williams pleaded. Mrs. Williams, already the subject of ridicule among her peers due to Mrs. Peters' vindictive accounts of the incident, found herself in a confused position. The humiliation she had suffered from Mrs. Peters' lies had drained her of her usual assertiveness, and she was forced to approach Jeremy with a subdued, pleading tone."Jeremy, please, for the sake of peace, I beg you to help us," she pleaded, her voice quivering
Noah who couldn't meet the deadline the CEO of Blue Silver Entertainment company had gone to plead with Jefferson who had in turn pleaded with his boss. Noah was given a one-week ultimatum again and it was due today! Noah's efforts to raise the money had been futile, despite the extension of time granted by Jefferson. Desperate and out of options, he had resorted to selling off his family's properties for peanuts.As Noah arrived at the Williams mansion, he was a shell of his former self, the weight of his troubles dragging him down into a pit of despair. The Williams family members were stunned by the transformation; it was as if a different person had stepped into their home.Mrs. Williams, hoping her hospitality could soften Noah's heart, extended a warm greeting. "It's good to see you, Noah," she said, her smile betraying a hint of unease.Noah was unfazed by her attempts at peacemaking, his expression was hard and impassive. "I've come to pay back the money Jeremy obtained throu
A sudden calmness ran across the room as they all marveled at the sudden realization of Noah's act, he had perfectly waited for the right moment to grab Avery while Jeremy and Mrs Williams were having their non ending argument.Noah had carefully thought of his plan to take Avery captive, he had lost too much because of Jeremy, a a ndd his only consolation right now was having her all to himself. As he pressed tightly on Avery, Noah could feel her heart beating fast at the fright of the gun that he had placed on her head but he turned a blind eye."What are you doing?" Jeremy asked his voice hard and breathy as he finally found his composure, as the sound of Avery's cries made him angry and anxious.Jeremy knew Noah had always been an arrogant and greedy person, but he never thought Noah would go as far as using Avery as bait just to get his payback."I said no more words!" Noah shouted, his voice shrilled and hard as he took turns glancing cold looks at each of them. "You all think
Noah laughed a cackle that cut through the air like a blade. "You think I'm joking? If you're serious about saving Avery's life, return the master card," he sneered.Jeremy's gaze moved to Mrs. Williams, who still clutched the card like a vise. Even with her granddaughter's life hanging in the balance, she refused to give in.Avery's voice trembled as she pleaded, "Please, Grandma, just give him the card. It's not worth it."Mrs. Williams remained unmoved by Avery's heartfelt plea, the amount of the money too great to let go. "Don't be naïve, Avery," she snapped. "Do you think Noah will release you once he has the card? He'll still find a way to harm you. We can't lose both the money and your life." Her words sent shockwaves through the room.Jeremy, sickened by his mother-in-law's callousness, shot her a contemptuous glare. "This proves just how cold-hearted you truly are," he seethed. Turning to Noah, Jeremy continued, his voice taut with desperation. "Please don't harm Avery. Give
As days swung by, the scene with Noah at the Williams mansion slowly faded into a mirage as they continued in their daily lives but Jeremy could feel Avery was still having some aftermath as she would often go numb for a while and sometimes felt scared for no reason. This made Jeremy sometimes wish Avery had allowed him to shoot at Noah instead of letting him escape, but he had asked his men to search for Noah because he was determined to give him a taste of his wrath. As Jeremy sat down on the couch with so many thoughts dancing through his mind, he didn't realize when Avery entered the room. "Hey babe," Jeremy greeted but Avery didn't answer with her usual cheerful self, and this worried Jeremy. "I'll just put Mia to sleep," Avery said standing up not wanting to disturb her husband with her newfound moody countenance since her ordeal with Noah. Jeremy was about to reply to Avery when his phone rang, he had been expecting a call and was eager to answer, as he reached for the phon
