Triumph Of The Belittled Son-in-law CHAPTER 97
Her skin turned clammy as her limbs kept twisting and turning. Her whole body was convulsing and foam was coming out of her mouth. The chair she was bound to broke slightly by the handle because of the terrific jolting of pressure coming from the convulsion.Everyone in the room had their eyes widened in a stretch of shock as their mouth gaped as if they had never seen such a high level of convulsion before.Doctor Lopez’s face contorted into a smug smile. “She is now reacting to the virus. As I planned with Paul earlier, we are going to drop her at Grob Street, Lancashire.”“This is a virus that I have tested in my labs for quite some time with my lab rats. It works well and it is potent. She will remain that way for about 24 to 36 hours even though at some point in time the convulsion might reduce and she will be completely still and unconscious - something like being in a coma.”“But at other times within these 36 hours, she is going to be convulsing intensely.”“Do you have the an

“I didn't see you coming in, sorry,” Miriam offered some apology even though she was impacted more negatively by the hit. Miriam’s face was wet and water was dripping off her hair. She looked out of place and not ready to have a conversation.Ms. Turner thought of escalating the situation but how Miriam shrugged it off lessened the tension.“The boss needs your attention,” Ms. Turner spoke, her voice tinged with a grind of irritation. She immediately turned her back toward Miriam with a glare of annoyance and readied her feet to leave.Miriam noticed the attitude with which Ms. Turner used to speak and even though she wasn't in the mood to talk, she had to call her back. “Hey, Ms. Turner.”Ms. Turned hissed silently and turned back, facing Miriam.“I want to ask you a question and I want you to answer not as my assistant but as a friend,” Miriam spoke.“Well, I am not your friend. I can't be,” Ms. Turner butted in immediately. “What?!” Miriam exclaimed, her heart slightly broken by

Miriam lowered her head in hesitation. “I don't want to blame him now that he is dead but he requested for guards to protect him everywhere he went before he told me their names. “I warned him against it and told him that it would only draw unnecessary suspicion towards him but he refused vehemently and said that he wouldn't tell me until I drafted an agreement to show that I was going to keep to my promise.”Paul’s eyes were large in a deadly lake of pity. “That was really unfortunate. I wish he chose differently but you shouldn't blame yourself for his death. He made a decision that wasn't the best for him but we will avenge him. We will make sure his death doesn't happen in vain because the war against the Kazitanis would only end in our victory.”“However, we need you in this fight against the Kazitanis and I can't afford to lose you at this time. You see, I was extremely worried to hear that you have been kidnapped and even Ms. Turner at a point in time suggested that you were l

“This is not because I think you have problems. Look, I understand everything that you have experienced in the last few days. You were in a mess when I saw you tied up by Ms. Serfa. I can only imagine the humiliation that you experienced there.”“It’s difficult for anyone to face that kind of torture and still resume work the next day. There is no world where that is even proper. I hope you understand why I am insisting on this. One week would be best for you.”Miriam hovered in a flutter of hesitation. “Alright Mr. Leonard, I will take some time off as you have prescribed but I will take only three days. I will use those three days to rest well and come back stronger.”“Okay, three days is fine as long as you take it to rest well. You always have your position ready for you no matter how long you are away. The most important thing is that you are well physically and mentally.”“In the meantime, it is a difficult situation with our beverages and wines being contaminated and I can only

****The next day, Paul Leonard got to Evan Ferguson’s house. “Would you like wine, lemonade, or soda,” Evan Ferguson asked.“Just water is enough Sir. I appreciate your kind gesture.”Ferguson served Paul a cup of water in a glass cup and went back into his seat.“So, I asked that you come visit me because I believe that the matter which you brought to me is very sensitive and requires a lot of attention.”“Yes, of course, Mr. Ferguson. Also, I can't afford to have poisonous beverages and wine in the hands of consumers. There could be a large number of deaths. Only God knows how potent the poison is and how many people would be affected by it if it gets out there,” Paul explained, his posture contorted with conviction.“Hmm. But who could be so heartless as to poison products that are meant to be consumed by human beings? That is probably worse than a terrorist attack because a lot of people would be consuming these products. A whole family could die in one night from this kind of s

Paul checked his pockets and around him - there was no weapon that he could use to defend himself in case there was an attack. While his mind was reeling with thoughts on what he was going to do should the situation become dangerous for him, Mr. Ferguson came out of his inner room and Paul had to blink a million times within a short time to get a grasp of the horror that he was seeing.Mr. Ferguson has a long chain tied to the neck of a young teenage boy. The boy’s limps were a deadly map of abuse and red marks of brutality were all over his body. The red scars on his body were so evident that there was barely any spot on his skin that was not contorted with the tragic painting of abuse.His limbs were a tragic show of suffering and his legs were enclosed in a deadly moist of blood. The teenage boy’s eyes were enclosed in an expression of unconsciousness as his lids were heavy with a tragic weight of fatigue.Paul jolted, his breath held up in a silent terror and his skin a deadly ca

Guzman had performed some medical exercises in his presence; a few of them which resembled the situation that he was faced with. Well, apart from the fact that Benny had additional bruises on his body.“Alright, I will try something out and see how it goes,” Paul said, his hand set in motion. “Do you have a small tube or a straw and also a needle?”“Erm, I don't think I have a tube but I might just have a straw, please let me go and check,” Mr. Ferguson said.He went into his room and ransacked his property to find a straw. His body was trembling with a hurry as he wanted to find the straw by any means. He knew that time was also not so much on his side.Mr. Ferguson heaved a sigh of relief when he finally saw a straw. He rushed out to where Paul was. “Here, this is a straw I hope this will do. There are needles over there in my cupboard. Give me a moment please.”Mr. Ferguson got some needles from his cupboard and gave it to Paul. He only needed one of the needles so he sterilized it

“You are only concerned about protecting yourself, isn't it?” Paul queried. He was beginning to wonder how what was supposed to be a discussion about the contaminated products being held was turning into something else.“Okay, okay. I get it - you don't understand,” Mr. Ferguson said, gesturing to Paul that he should take it easy. “I would never have done anything to Benny. I never imagined in a thousand years that I would hurt a teenage boy like this but when someone close to me is involved, my anger is limitless.”“Someone close to you? Who was close to you that got hurt? Why would you then take it out on the poor boy,” Paul inquired, his face darting back and forth in confusion.“My daughter, damn it! Mr. Ferguson yelled, his voice a deadly rumble of anger. “My daughter has been missing for over 48 hours now and I don't know what to do. Benny caused it and that is why I was frustrated with him.”“Benny? You mean him?” Paul asked, pointing towards the young boy who had just been res

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.

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
