The judge froze, deeply shocked by Jackson's actions. He finally regained his composure and exclaimed in a powerful voice:" Mr. Reynolds! You are obstructing justice. Guards, take this man into custody immediately !"The guards marched in with firm steps and subdued Jackson, who was struggling fiercely." You are all fools! Do you really believe he's telling the truth ?" Jackson screamed, pointing his finger at Quentin.Quentin remained impassive." Jackson, your despair is getting the best of you. The truth will eventually come out," he said calmly.Richard scoffed," Don't get your hopes up too high, Quentin. No one will believe your lies without proof."Quentin put on a mysterious air and smiled." Who said I don't have any other evidence? "Then he turned to his lawyers." Show it."The lawyers opened their briefcases and dumped piles of documents onto the desk, even more imposing than the first ones." We anticipated your destructive maneuvers, which is why we only presented cop
" Impossible! " exclaimed the judge vehemently as he pounded his fist on the table." How could your grandson, Quentin, have amassed such a fortune in such a short time? There must be something suspicious behind this," he added with insistence.Richard Reynolds gravely nodded his head and replied," Quentin is no longer considered my grandson. Let him be damned forever."" However, I fully agree with you that it is impossible to honestly earn 100 billion in one day. It is therefore likely that he is involved in a scam or money laundering," he continued." Or even worse! " added Jackson Reynolds." What if he's part of a criminal syndicate or a terrorist network? We must uncover the truth as quickly as possible," he suggested." You're absolutely right," the judge agreed." We will hire the best private detectives and investigators in the country to track down this young rascal. If he's involved in anything illegal, we'll find out," he concluded with determination.The three men shared
Suddenly, Jackson's phone starts ringing. He frantically checks the caller's identity but realizes it's an unknown number. He impatiently answers." Hello! Who has the honor of speaking to me? " he inquires.A distorted and mocking voice responds." Did you enjoy my little surprise, Jackson? "Jackson's blood runs cold as he becomes aware of the situation. It's Quentin." You scoundrel ! How dare you speak to me like that ? I will crush you to pieces! "Quentin bursts into a cruel laughter." I would love to see you try. I declare war on you and the entire REYNOLDS family, Jackson," he says." You will regret the day you unjustly condemned me for a crime I didn't commit," he adds before the communication is interrupted.In a fit of rage, Jackson smashes his phone against the wall, shattering it into pieces. He overturns tables and chairs while uttering incoherent screams.The nurses call the security guards who rush in and restrain him. As they drag him outside, Jackson points an accu
It was Mirenda, his former girlfriend from their university days. Quentin's palms became sweaty and his throat dried up.With confident steps, Mirenda approached him, a mocking smile forming on her lips. She looked more beautiful than ever, dressed in a tight red dress." Well, well, if it isn't Quentin. What a pleasant surprise," she whispered in a voice full of sarcasm.Quentin managed to force a trembling smile." Mirenda. What an unexpected pleasure! "" Indeed, it's unexpected. From what I recall, you could barely afford rent. And now here you are, mingling with royalty and opulence. What a rapid reversal of fortune," she exclaimed with a mocking laugh.Quentin's cheeks flushed with humiliation." I've done rather well for myself, as you can see."" It's evident. Although I never would have imagined the poor Quentin rising so high. You struggled to achieve anything. Did you perhaps enjoy certain... advantages to get where you are? " she added, fixing her eyes on him with a mischi
At that very moment, two of the delinquents struggled to emerge from the building, leaning on each other for support. They were bloodied and covered in dust, their faces reflecting both agony and terror.Exhausted, they collapsed into their dilapidated van, breathing heavily." Start the engine ! Start it ! " exclaimed the first delinquent." Wait, I need to stop this bleeding. That wretched guest wounded my leg!" replied the second delinquent in a trembling voice.He hastily tore a tattered piece of his shirt to fashion an improvised tourniquet. The first delinquent started the engine, trembling, and then abruptly accelerated, narrowly missing a trash bin." The authorities will not take long to arrive, rest assured," he said in an anxious voice." Head towards our hideout. I urgently need medical attention," groaned the second delinquent through gritted teeth.[ 15 minutes later ]They finally reached their dilapidated hideout, trembling with fever and terror. The second delinquent
Suddenly, she changed the conversation, inquiring about the possibility of slipping away before Rao Torres returned." I must take my leave. It would be inappropriate for Mr. Torres to discover me here again," she exclaimed hastily.Quentin endeavored to learn her name." Please, kindly reveal your name before you go."She looked at him tenderly." My name is Meena. I am one of Mr. Rao Torres' cleaning ladies."Without another word, she hurriedly left the room. Once outside, Meena couldn't help but shed tears. Salty pearls traced her cheeks as sorrow overwhelmed her being.Her love for Quentin was sincere, yet she was aware that their union was destined for inevitable failure." I cannot imagine marrying a man of his social standing. The chasm that separates our classes is far too abyssal to be bridged," she thought.Without hesitation, she hurried towards the gardens of the hospital grounds and concealed herself behind a majestic oak tree, sinking into it as if swallowed by the eart
[ Two days later… ]Quentin found himself in a perplexing state. Despite having recently been discharged from the hospital, Rao Torres' words about Meena continued to haunt his mind.He sat at his desk, his gaze lost in the distance through the window. Pensively sipping his coffee, he futilely attempted to make sense of the chaotic puzzle of recent events." What meaning can be attributed to all of this..." he murmured softly, nervously clasping his hands together.He couldn't comprehend Meena being involved in the theft during Rao's party." What interest would she have in acting this way?" he thought." No... It's impossible," he whispered, shaking his head in disbelief.However, he placed blind trust in Rao Torres. He was torn between his loyalty to Rao and his belief in Meena.That's when he stood up and began pacing the room, nervously running his hand through his hair." What should I do..." he murmured, his anxiety growing. Suspicion now gnawed at his mind, disturbing his thoug
The kidnappers emit a cruel laughter as they watch Quentin kneel next to Meena's lifeless body." Behold this crybaby," one of them declares contemptuously." What a pathetic whiner!" the other adds, mimicking Quentin's tears.Furious, Quentin springs up and stands before the kidnappers, his eyes flashing with anger." You are monsters!" he roars." You will bitterly regret this!"Taken aback by Quentin's sudden outburst of anger, the kidnappers point their weapons at him." Stay where you are, or you'll end up like her !" they threaten.Quentin disregards their warnings and charges towards them with a cry of rage. A bullet whizzes past him, but he narrowly avoids it, violently grabbing the first kidnapper's arm to wrestle the weapon away from him.The other one fires, but Quentin takes cover behind his accomplice, using him as a human shield." Save yourself, you idiot !" shouts the shielded kidnapper.Quentin forcefully hurls the first kidnapper at the second, causing them both to
