The L&M Hotels compound buzzed with guests, and cars filled the garage in preparation for the upcoming New Year's Eve concert at the hotel's event center, an event Harry had scheduled to bring in more tracks and generate revenue to the hotel.In his office, the door suddenly creaked open, revealing Jade walking in, her gaze fixed on her phone as she was engrossed in it, making her way toward where Harry was seated.Upon reaching him, she slowly lowered her hands, allowing Harry to see what had grabbed her attention: Mr. Damon's speech, threatening to initiate a legal duel challenging the election results.Harry sat up, adjusting in his chair as he brought the phone closer to his gaze. His full attention was fixed on the screen as he watched Mr. Damon threaten a legal challenge to contest the election results and a gasp slowly escaped his mouth at Mr Damon's guts as he tried to play the victim card to gain the public sympathy.The sound of the door opening startled both Harry and Jade,
"Good morning, sir. There's a package that needs your urgent attention," said one of Harry's staff as he entered his office, prompting Harry to quietly raise his gaze."What is it?" he asked."I don't know, sir. It's sealed up!"Jade swiftly gestured, collected the box, and handed it over to Harry. Without wasting any time, he placed it on his table and began to unbox it.With a determined and curious look, Harry tore the seal apart, causing a brown envelope to fall to the ground as he forcefully ripped open the box.Harry stooped down and retrieved the envelope from the ground, examining it closely. The envelope bore a coat of arms, with the words "Legal Affairs" embossed in silver at the upper corner. With a deep breath, he tore open the envelope and withdrew a neatly folded letter.As Harry unfolded the letter, his eyes traced the elegant calligraphy. His initial curiosity turned into disbelief, almost whispering as he read aloud, "The legal duel? He's suing me?"His mind raced, at
The courtroom hummed with activity—lawyers, photographers, and videographers moved about, their cameras flashing, casting light on judges, attorneys, the audience, and witnesses alike.Today marked the legal duel, and Mr. Damon and his lawyer couldn't contain their smiles as Jade stepped forward to represent Harry.A wide grin lit up Mr. Damon's face at the sight of Jade taking charge. He recognised that she lacked the experience of his own seasoned attorneys, who had tackled more significant cases and legal showdowns. This was Jade's inaugural appearance at such a grand public hearing.Scarlet waved from the crowd, trying to cheer Jade up, and Jade smiled back, heaving a sigh of relief. Of course, she learned from the best and most sought-after attorney of the beat law firm in Europe. She shrugged off her nervousness, taking her seat near Harry and Fredrik.Scarlet eyes darted around and fell on some familiar faces, but her eyes widened at the sight of her mom, Ms. Oct, in the court
The entire courtroom buzzed with murmurs and whispers as all eyes swiftly turned towards where Ms. Oct was seated.Scarlet gasped, her breath catching in her throat as she slowly lifted her gaze to her mother. It was a cruel tactic he had employed, and it had worked seamlessly, especially since Martin was in prison for illegal drug possession,it alighted with his accusations so well that one would think it was the truth."My son is innocent!" Ms. Oct's voice echoed through the building as she pointed accusingly at Mr. Damon."My son has no involvement with the warehouse or the drugs! You're deranged! Tell them the truth! You lunatic!" Her voice cracked from both empathy and relentless shouting and she continued pointing fingers at him."How dare you accuse my son? How dare you shift the blame onto him?! You deceive me and target my family?!""Order! Order!" The judge's gavel struck the table, yet Ms. Oct's persistent yelling persisted."Take her out!" ordered the judge, and the securi
The exterior of the house buzzed with activity as decorators meticulously placed various flowers at each entrance, lending a vibrant touch to the facade. The ground was covered in a lush green carpet, evoking the feel of a luxurious red carpet event.Inside, the house bustled with the presence of several decorators, a necessity given its considerable size.Harry had invested in a state-of-the-art 'Smart House' system for enhanced security and privacy."Wow, those flower designs on the door are stunning," Jade exclaimed, pointing at the intricate decorations.Harry, wearing a smile, closed the gap between them, gently wrapping his arm around her waist. "I almost forgot to praise your skills at the duel from last week."His lips formed a subtle grin as he leaned in, placing a tender kiss on her cheek. "I apologize for being so caught up with preparing for the housewarming party. I hope I'm not too late with my compliments?”Jade's cheeks flushed beet red from blushing as Harry planted a
Harry's eyes sparked with fury as he fidgeted through his clothes, awaiting an answer. Instead, she remained silent, sitting on the floor, staring at Harry as if plotting something else entirely.Struggling to contain his emotions since she seemed unwilling to talk, Harry swallowed hard, gulping down his Saliva to control himself."Please, I have kids to feed at home," she pleaded, rising back to her knees, clasping her hands together, her voice trembling."Please, I beg you. Let me off the hook just this once. Besides, I wasn't trying to harm you," she said, desperately.Harry's brow furrowed in confusion. "You weren't trying to harm me? So, what were you attempting to do? You've been following me for the past hour and managed to get into the elevator with me. The elevator should have been your ideal spot, but you messed it all up.”Ignoring Harry's words, she continued pleading, "Please, I beg you. I have a toddler to breastfeed at home now. Please, I beg you. I didn't come here to
As Harry laid eyes on Jade, his breath caught in his throat, a sudden question racing through his mind: Was Jade the one behind the intrusion?The room fell into an eerie silence, a moment that seemed to stretch on. All attention turned to Jade, who appeared equally taken aback by the sudden scrutiny, unsure of what was unfolding before her."Harry, I..." Her words faltered, punctuated by heavy breaths as she placed a hand on her chest. "I saw someone—a possible intruder. I think he might be an assassin!"In that suspended moment, it felt as though time stood still for Harry as he tried to make sense of the situation.What was Jade's motive? Could she truly be the one responsible for the break-in?Harry found himself pondering Stephanie's words, contemplating whether Jade could be the mastermind behind it all. Suddenly, everything seemed to click into place—it aligned perfectly, especially considering she had urged him to check his room for a surprise.Was that her way to lure him ups
As he held onto the box, Jade let out a helpless whimper, a sound that seemed to echo helplessness, leaving both men stunned.Harry remained silent, observing the intruder's actions. The intruder clutched the box while still wielding the gun, his gaze darting between Harry, Pietro, and his accomplice in the same room."Who the hell sent two groups of people into the house within barely twenty-four hours of your arrival?" Pietro's frown deepened as he spoke up.Finally, the intruder fired a shot, staggering back a couple of steps, astonished at the genuinely bulletproof glass.He couldn't believe the level of security Harry had implemented in his house, recognizing the fearsomeness of the men he was dealing with.Investing in a smart house was Harry's best defense, especially considering his mini law firm housing a multitude of important documents."Who sent you?" Harry activated the sound system, allowing them to communicate without compromising the protective glass."Does it even mat
