Triumph Of The Belittled Son-in-law CHAPTER 140
“Can you imagine this man,” the younger security butter in again. He was determined to prove that Doctor White was not making sense with his so-called observation. “How can you say that you saw weapons inside a vehicle that is not even in this street but in the next? How does that affect the safety of any of the persons who live in this estate?”His voice was contorted with query and aggression.Bambi was noticing some sense in what his junior colleague was saying. The street he was talking about was close to the estate but it was still a different street. Also, it was very possible that since it was night, he wasn't so sure of what he was seeing.Bambi flickered his gaze repeatedly between Doctor White and his junior colleague. “Look, Sir, what’s your name?”“You can call me Doctor White,” he responded.“Oh, so you are a doctor,” the junior colleague security butted in again but Bambi signaled for him to take it easy.“Alright Doctor White. Let's assume that what you said was even tr

Doctor White’s face flushed with a deadly flush of embarrassment as his soul was filled with despair. He wondered how a responsible man with a doctorate in medicine and surgery would be trading words with a drunken security man. He knew that it was beyond him to toil at that hour of the night with a security who didn't have a sense of responsibility. It was only Camille that could make him go to such an extent - and to think that he was even rejected by the same Camille.The junior officer continued with his mocking words with the precision of a drunkard. “So, why don't you tell me? What’s your agenda with her? Considering how long thay discussion was I assume that you were trying to convince her into something very naughty, weren't you?”The junior officer winked in a cut of mockery toward Doctor White. “Who would have thought that Mr. Doctor would also want to have some fun, haha.”Doctor White was so embarrassed that he wished that he could just disappear from the scene for a whil

“I am not sure how much time she has left but I don't think that she has much time left. Things are not looking good at the moment and she might die,” Janet Winston responded, her voice breaking amidst the silent tears that were dropping off her face.Janet was the last person to witness Lady Winston before she was in a state of coma. She recalled how she warned her against going to the meeting with Mr. Maxwell and how she told her that even if she was going to go, she should go with either Frank Winston or Thomas Winston.Why did she have to be so stubborn and refuse to yield to her counsel? She could see the handwriting on the wall. It was very clear to her that something was wrong and Lady Winston’s desperation to go for the meeting was what made her even more cautious about it.Lady Winston never liked to be in a position where she would be anxious. She liked to sit back and plan her best move but visiting Mr. Maxwell just seemed like a half-thought plan. There was no deliberation

If wasn't time for a sibling quarrel, she thought. There would be time for that but for now, they had to secure the antidote for Lady Winston before she lost her life.Perhaps Thomas was right. She shouldn't have adopted a heavy metal approach especially because she would still be bitter about the humiliation that she received at the hands of Lady Winston, Janet thought.She would at least pretend to be more considerate this time and ask about her baby or do some other things to make her feel more emotionally inclined.Janet knew that if there was something she didn't know how to do, it was to pretend. She knew that it was going to be difficult to hide her disdain for her sister even though she secretly admitted the fact that her sister was much better at the job than herself.Sarah was much more proactive than herself even though it felt very bitter for her to admit it. During her first week taking over as secretary of Winstons Corporation, she suffered panic attacks on various occas

Sarah interrupted Janet as she was speaking, her words suggesting that she wasn't going to be easily fooled by her. “And what were all those texts you have been sending to me? Just last night you said that you will cut out my tongue if I don't talk with Paul and prefer solutions on getting Lady Winston to have the antidote.”Janet swallowed giving herself time to think of the response she was going to come up with as she searched the gaze of Thomas and Frank.“Those words I spoke - I didn't really mean them. They were out of the frustration that I was experiencing because I couldn't help but see our mother in this state,” Janet spoke, her tone low with feigned compassion.“Nonsense!” Sarah blurted out. “I wasn't born two months ago, Janet. To make things clearer to you, I am older than you and apparently more intelligent than you.”Janet felt a cloud of bitterness hover around her as Sarah mentioned that she was more intelligent. She hated to hear that because deep inside of her she k

“You have no idea how you sound right now. I would never——”Janet butted in immediately in a tone of apology. “Oh, I am so sorry Sarah. I didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean to offend you. It was a slip of tongue. Of course, what you have against Lady Winston is more than just sentiments.”“B****hit! A sleep of tongue indeed,” Sarah spoke in a sarcastic manner. “It was my fault picking up your phone call. I should have listened to my guts and protected my heart by not taking to you.”“Damnit! You remind me so much about our cruel mother. I never knew this when you were much younger but now all I know is that you both deserve the same fate. You are as vile as she is!”Janet’s voice was contorted in a pleading tone. “Sarah she is still our mother even though she has done such vile things to you. She is still the grandmother of your newborn daughter. Don't you think she deserves to at least lay eyes on her and smile at her.”“At least, she deserves that no matter how bad things the th

“One thing is sure. Sarah would still suffer more for what she has done,” Frank swore, his words were like sharp edges digging into a light cotton. "She will beg for mercy and there will be none for her. She thinks that she now has protection because Paul of course has accepted her but the moment there is a crack in the wall, I will attack whether or not Lady Winston is still alive or not.”“It is embarrassing to think that she now rejects an opportunity to amend her mistakes,” Thomas added. “It shows that she doesn't have any remorse for what she has done.”“To think that Marcus also supports Sarah,” Frank spoke, his face contorted in an unforgiving rage. “The same Marcus who I have always taken care of when he was much you here. I have always shown him the way of life and how we Winstons survive and flourish. I always thought that he was going to me by mentee, you know? Following in my footsteps and becoming a tough young man.”“Little did I know that he was a little kid in an adul

Estevan glided towards his brother, Frank Winston, his gestures were fluid and his eyes unwavering. “Brother, we have to be careful of every action we take right now. I don’t know what exactly you are thinking of right now but I can tell that it’s not good. I know you too well, Frank.”“You know it’s the right thing to do,” Frank responded, his body language aggressive and tight.“What is possibly right about that? You are acting based on impulse and we can’t afford that right now. I know that you are thinking of hurting Jeffrey but how can we hurt the only person who is our currency toward getting the antidote,” Estevan spoke, trying to dissuade him of the idea that was brimming in his head.“It’s because they have declared war on us,” Frank seethed, his eyes narrowed into a deadly glint of vengeance. “When there is war, we don’t hide behind our shelves and hope that they don’t attack us further - we retaliate with an attack of ours. We are not cowards, damnit!”Frank’s throat was ti

Paul who was darting from side to side in confusion soon saw a figure in front of him. His ropes were cut off a lightning speed as he was escorted out of the hall by a figure.Paul gasped in shock when he saw the figure that had come to protect him.“Dane Michaelson?!” Paul gasped in surprise. “Is this you? What are you doing?”Dane Michaelson was Paul’s long-term friend and high schoolmate who had always been like a guardian angel to him. He always protected Paul from bullies when he was in high school and even had a young age, Dane Michaelson had impressive fighting skills that he used to defeat anyone who came across him to defy him or any of his friends. Paul learned a few fighting skills from Dane but their friendship was put to a halt when Dane had to travel far away for a scholarship. He promised that he was going to be back though and that he would always keep an eye on him.“I told you that I would be back for you, didn't I?” Dane spoke in a hurried tone, his words coming o

He didn’t want Grandpa Leonard to suffer more than he already had and he was feeling as though he should have done more to protect Grandpa Leonard.Grandpa Leonard was also tied with bonds to the wheelchair and his face was set in a mask of grim determination as he endured the agony, his eyes narrowed with focus against the torrent of pain.“I am the head of the Imperial Society Syndicate, not him,” Pail spoke, trying to defend Grandpa Leonard.“Son, do not worry about me. This is not the time to speak of vain things,” Grandpa Leonard spoke sternly as if to tell Paul not to worry about him.The Red Witch erupted in a burst of laughter that echoed through the hall, her expression twisted into a malicious smile as she took pleasure in her evil deeds. It brought her so much joy to see Paul and Grandpa Leonard sit side-by-side and have their faces contorted with grief.Her smile curved into a malicious grin as she turned towards Paul. “Long time, no see Paul Leonard. Don’t tell me that yo

Paul could hear their voices and it was mixed with laughter and merriment. The stench of alcohol filled the place and Paul was wondering if it was the same person that was tied to a chair that everyone was celebrating about.But there was something else that caught Paul’s interest. He kept hearing them call out a Red Witch. He had heard the word more than twice already since his eyes fluttered open and from the conversation that his ears were able to pick, it seemed as if the Red Witch wasn’t just an ordinary person.It could be one of their leaders, he thought. Or could it be the person that was assigned to kill him and render whatever punishment they had against him?Paul was suddenly shocked when he received a huge flow of water attacking him on his face. He spluttered and shuddered as his body shook violently, expelling the water from his lungs. His throat was constructed painfully as he tried to draw breath. He shook his face repeatedly so that the water could fall off his face a

Sarah couldn’t help but defend herself. She wasn’t just going to keep quiet and allow things to happen to her. She had to speak up and defend herself, she thought.“I brought the antidote that is now the reason why you are alive. I suffered a lot and risked a lot to get the antidote. I had an agreement with Janet, Frank, and Thomas but they haven’t told me anything,” Sarah stammered in panic, her words tumbling out rapidly as she tried to explain herself. “I don’t deserve this treatment and I don’t understand why you have to force me here as if I shouldn’t be one of the partakers of the good things of Winston Corporation. If you knew what I did to get the antidote for you, you probably wouldn’t be treating me this way. What else do I have to do to prove that I deserve my previous position back.”Janet retorted. “Liar! Liar! You cannot get your previous position back. You are a rotten piece of dirt!l Janet retorted.”Janet was always upset by the fact that Sarah was desperate to get h

Sarah’s voice was breaking because she wondered what she said that was wrong. “Y-e-s.”“What?!” Arianna fumed. “What exactly are you still doing at the inner chamber? You have already made the mistake of giving them the antidote but what business do you still have there?”“I just think that maybe they would—-” Sarah’s voice was breaking with tension.Arianna spoke over her in a loud frothing. “You think what exactly? What exactly do you think? Are you still delusional enough to think that Lady Winston would give you the requests that you asked for?”Arianna’s tone was insistent and her expression furious as she rendered a warning. “What exactly are you still there for when they have already shown you the writing on the wall? Oh my goodness!”“You had better start running away from there because if the history of your family’s wickedness is anything to go by, then it won’t be long until they arrest you and even do much worse to you than they wanted to do before. Do you think Lady Winst

Arianna’s voice was tinged with a hint of unease as she tried to communicate her fears. “Doctor Lopez? Wait, don’t tell me that you tried to get the antidote from him to help Lady Winston.”Sarah bit her lips again because she didn’t know how to answer the question. “That’s exactly what I did,” she finally spoke out.“My goodness!” Arianna spoke out loud, her voice ringing with a loud echo from the phone as she conveyed her disappointment. “I thought that Paul already gave you a new and improved job. What happened that would make you go back to the same mess that you were coming from.”“I just couldn’t find it comfortable there. I couldn’t stop thinking about Winston Corporation. I thought that I felt at home at Winston Corporation,” Sarah attempted to justify herself, her voice faltering because she realized the fault in her argument.“Can you even listen to yourself?” Arianna seethed, her voice rising with a cold anger and tinged with disappointment. “You are somehow trying to justi

“Do you really think that I will listen to her deceits? She has seen that Paul can do no good for her and now she wants to return to where she made a life. Oh, how foolish does she think we would be.”“In any case, I am glad that she came right into our hands because now she will get the punishment that she escaped narrowly before. Who would have thought that she would come right under our nose so easily for us to dismantle her.”Janet's cheek flushed with happiness as she smiled brightly, her eyes shining with excitement.Of course, neither she nor her brothers had the intention of fulfilling the pact that they had with Sarah. They were all trying to get the antidote and now that Lady Winston was back in a healthy condition, they could do away with Sarah. In fact, Frank and Thomas especially were expecting Lady Winston not to suspend the punishment that she had earlier placed on her.“Come to think of it. Where is she now? Where did she go? “ Lady Winston asked. They all turned the

She recalled that she had forgotten the gun that Arianna gave to her in Doctor Lopez’s office. That gun was the evidence that was going to stand against her if Doctor Lopez died. Her mind started reeling with desperate thoughts. What if she had committed murder all for nothing? Was she going to lose on both ends? How long was she going to keep foolishly trusting her family to back her up and then proving that they were always going to stab her in the back?An investigation was going to be carried out into what happened with Doctor Lopez, she reasoned. They were going to trace it to her and tell Paul about it. She couldn't imagine how disgusted Paul was going to feel to learn that she had betrayed him even much more intentionally this time.The inner chamber had high ceilings adorned with intricate carvings. The walls were lined with tapestries and brilliant decorations conveying a sense of power and prestige. Frank and Thomas led Lady Winston until she reclined on a sumptuous chair

Lady Winston soon spoke, her words drowned with fatigue and her speech slow and deliberate as she feigned an extra bit of tiredness. “Hello everyone. I appreciate that you have all come here to witness this moment. I appreciate all those whose prayers and thoughts have been with me.”“But as you can see, I am recovering from a very delicate condition that would require that I have a long rest so I will be accompanied by my family - Frank, Thomas, Estevan, and Janet who I am sure must have been working day and night to ensure that I am back to normalcy.”The employees all erupted in applause, their faces contorted with nervousness as they gradually returned to their duty posts.Sarah’s expression was glazed, her eyes unfocused and her mouth hanging slightly open as she stared blankly, her features slack with confusion. Her haze was disoriented as she stared back and forth, her expression clouded with confusion and uncertainty. The applause was like a torment to her because it was cons
