“I guess that shows how much there is a lack of integrity in every dealing with the Winstons.”Mr. Maxwell was blazing with a fury of surprise. “We agreed that my investments would be stable as long as they keep me updated on every employee's status - those who left the company, those who were sacked from the company, and those who are to face disciplinary issues.” “Were any of those sent to you?” Paul inquired.“Yes, they usually sent the memos and a monthly list of employees status but now that you mention it, I can’t help but think that I have been deceived and that the reports that they have been sending to me are all fake.”“Mr. Maxwell, I advise that you do a proper assessment of your records very well. You just might discover more things that the Winstons have hidden from you.”“This is quite terrible, Mr. Leonard,” Mr. Maxwell uttered angrily. “I have always been a top investor and is this how they treat me? They know how business-oriented I am and how I value integrity and h
The finances of Winstons Corporation were never stable and sometimes she secretly wished that hadn’t intimidated Sarah from her position as secretary. A lot of the blame was going to go her way in the event of a poor financial situation for the Winstons.“Set me up with Mr. Maxwell through a phone call conversation,” Lady Winston instructed and Janet did as she was asked.She passed the landline onto Lady Winston when the call had gone through.“Good day, Mr. Maxwell,” Lady Winston greeted.“Good day.”“Erm, sir—we have found out that there is a little issue with your investments. We have not been receiving them as we should - we want to know what has happened?”“Not much has happened, Lady Winston,” Maxwell responded, a smirk forming at the corner of his lips. “Well, except that I am no longer interested in being an investor in your company.”Lady Winston gaped with a horror of disbelief, her breath held with a deadly gasp and her face flushed in astonishment.What did she just hear?
She headed into the garage and then to her car and drove out checking her map almost every moment to make sure that she didn’t miss her way.She finally got to Fort Avenue and the location that pointed out the address looked like a small office. It was one of Paul’s warehouses but it was later turned into an office for official purposes.She got into the office room and it had a deadly air of strangeness, its lighting a surreal of shadows. The air was filled with scents of flowers as she glanced around, her face contorted with confusion.She thought of heading back to the door. Perhaps she had missed the address. Things were looking a little too strange.She soon heard the sound of a door flung open. She didn’t know there was a door there. A young lady in her late twenties walked out of the door, her posture very sleek and curvaceous as she walked elegantly toward Lady Winston.“Have a seat, Ma’am,” the lady said, pointing toward the direction where she should sit.Lady Winston turne
“Why don't I believe you though?” Mr. Maxwell asked, his back resting on his seat comfortably as he probed. “Take a look at these documents - these are some of the memos that you sent and the dates do not correspond with each other.”“They are fake financial reports. I have given my auditors to carefully analyze these documents and the report is that they are all fake. Some of them aren't even signed.”Lady Winston’s breath was caught in a hitch of panic, her voice quivering with a hint of uncertainty. “I—I am not sure but we signed most of them.”“Most of them?” Mr. Maxwell queried. “Isn't that just some b*****it? Can you listen to yourself right now? You are actually telling me that most of them weren't signed, what happened to the rest,” Mr. Maxwell’s voice was resounding with an echo of disapproval.“My main issue is not even with the fact that they weren't signed. I find it even more absurd that important decisions regarding staff were taken without my knowledge or approval.”“Si
“If it were by your own desires, I would never have given birth to this lovely baby whose life you will be very far away from,” she yelled bitterly. “I will make sure that I protect her from such a vile creature like you.”Lady Winston lowered her head slightly in shame - she still couldn't believe what was happening.It was clear that her hopes for reaching an agreement with Mr. Maxwell to restore his investments were going downhill. She had been exposed and Sarah’s anger was bearing down on her like rain.“Is this what usually goes on in Winston? This matter is beyond me being a top investor - some of these acts are very criminal. How can you be so heartless as to deny a nursing mother of her baby? How do you act this way towards your daughter? I heard that the reason why you did that was because she confessed to the press.”“She is such a wicked woman. I can't believe that I came from your womb,” Sarah seethed, pointing accusing fingers toward Lady Winston.Lady Winston's face flus
“Surprise, isn't it?” Paul smirked, his expression stern and unyielding with an aura of danger. “I don't think you should be so surprised though. You always had it coming.”“It's quite terrible that you have turned Winston Corporation from a highly appreciated company to a disaster ground.”“Lord Winston would not have allowed ——”Lady Winston spoke over Paul as he mentioned Lord Winston. “Don't mention my ex-husband. You don't deserve to mention his name. Who are you to mention such a great man’s name so carelessly.”Paul’s muscle strings formed together in anger as he signaled his guards.POW!One of the guards sent a big punch which connected dangerously on Lady Winston’s cheek.“You are such a mess to think that you deserve to take Lord Winston’s position. You know quite well that he never really trusted you even when he was alive. He always kept secrets from you and he was right to do so.”Lady Winston narrowed her eyes with a deadly glare of wrath. Was it the same Paul who was t
“Where is my brother?!” Rico yelled, his muscles ripping with cold anger and his face contorted with pure aggression. “Where have you kept my brother? Which dungeon have you kept him in? What have you done to him? What did he do to deserve the wickedness that you did to him? You hurt him for no reason. Just because you were looking for me, you decided to use my brother as a scapegoat. Why?!”The punches kept flying toward Lady Winston’s face as she took them with her face contorted with bloody destruction. Her jaws shifted and readjusted as she received the punches. Rico’s grip was so firm that Lady Winston didn't have a second to breathe. Lady Winston was only perplexed by the fact that Rico - a mere gardener now had the mind to torture her. Her face was bruised in pain and blood was gushing out of her jaws. Her lips were silent in a deadly put of torment as the blood trickled. Rico retracts a bit after a faint tries to restrain him from killing Lady Winston. The pace at which he
Janet played a smart one with the question. That was the only way she was going to either affirm or suspend her suspicion. Janet wore a purple dress. She knew that if she was held hostage and forced to say the things she was saying, the way she would reply would show it.Paul figured that Janet’s question was a trick and since he didn't know what color of dress she wore, it was time to end it all. With a burst of tension, Paul stretched his hand aggressively towards Lady Winston’s ear to snatch the phone from her hand before she made any sudden moves.But Lady Winston screamed. “Paul has me hostage, Fort Avenue, Ro——”Before Lady Winston could complete her statement, Paul snatched the phone from her.Paul gritted his teeth in anger because Lady Winston had already mentioned Fort Avenue. It was a description that could lead them to where they were. “F*ck!” Rico yelled, his voice tinged with frustration when he noticed that Lady Winston said something to Janet on the phone. He was conc
