Adam clenched and un-clenched his fists, anger gnawing at his skin as he watched the father-son pair debate on about getting the old man to give them money. By old man, the definitely meant none other than his grandfather. A chilly wave of anger ran through his veins, as he thought back to what he had witnessed at his grandfather’s mansion just yesterday. The old man had been searching for who would help assuage the loans he was owing some loan sharks! Turns out the very person behind his predicament was his very own son, Williams! Adam could only imagine how much they had ripped off the man! 3 million dollars? Just to settle some set of low-lives assassin? Adam laughed out bitterly, his eyes flaring up in anger. These people had crossed the line after trying to harm his sister. And now they were trying to blackmail his grandfather, pushing him down the depths of ruin. If they continued this way, it won’t be long before Roberto’s dream became actualized. The actual ruining of W
At the court, Adam sat by a side, his expression chilly as he watched his lawyer battled against Lori's lawyer with words and constitution. "I hereby declare a search of Mr Carson's house and a through investigation of the CCTV footage inside and around the house. Report should be given in the next 3 hours!" "Court arise!" And with that, everything proceeded exactly how his lawyer had predicted it would. "We warned you, Adam. Now you can't blame us for being ruthless!" Lori burst into a low chuckle of laughter beside him. "And what makes you think you would win this case?" Adam turned his icy glare on her. "This is just a temporary deflection. Once the police ascertains the truth, more evidence will pop up and your son will surely be sentenced to life imprisonment for hurting my sister!" At the sound of that, Lori's expression crumpled. "Keep dreaming!" She spun around and left. "Well, Well. If it isn't my ex-husband?" The next voice he heard was that of Seraphina's. Her r
"And how can we be so sure that you're telling the truth?" The head inspector asked. "Apart from the footage showing when you abducted her, there is no other footage showing when you dropped her at the geriatic ward!" "Past records have shown that Mr Nate had molested quite a number of underaged girls, but whenever their parents complain, he uses his influence at the government to bribe and shut them up!" the police flipped through several documents and photos proving what he just said. "How are we sure that you didn't molest Amelia Carson, then dump her body where it was later found?" Sanders narrowed a deep gaze at him. An uproar went through the crowd. "What sort of horrible person is this? How can you be molesting little girls?" "Even for the past crimes, you deserve nothing less than death!" "Why exactly are the government always protecting those in power and preventing then from being punished for their crimes!" An uproar grew in court, that the judge had to bang the hamme
At the company the following day, Adam was working on a few projects when someone suddenly barges into his office. "If you can't knock, why are you-" His eyes dimmed when he saw the two people that walked in. One was a tall lady with a bright red lipstick, donning a little red dress to match. "As you can see, Miss. My Boss is very busy, kindly-" His secretary was trying to convince her to leave. "He can't be too busy for me." Daisy purred ignoring the secretary, she took her seat, crossed her legs and flipped her hair. "Right, darling?" Adam closed his eyes momentarily to drag in a deep breath. "You can leave, Carmen." "Bring in some refreshments, I want orange juice and some snacks!" Daisy ordered right before she closed the door. "What are you doing here, Daisy?" Adam threw the question, his expression cold. "I don't like it when you respond so coldly to me, love. I'm doing this all for you." She chuckled, getting up and walking over slowly. "I can only be here to help
Adam arrived home that day, exhausted and famished. He only thought of Perry for a while. Roberto was probably bullying her again. He had a quick shower before checking on his sister. Amelia was doing her homework, so he asked her what she wanted to eat. Armed with her choices, he headed to the kitchen to prepare some Peanut butter sandwich, along with smoked mackerel, her favourite seafood. “Hmm. Smells yummy!” Amelia skipped happily on her way to the dining room. “Big brother never told me you know how to prepare delicious food!” She smiled, as she chewed slowly on the first bite. “The mackerel tastes so good, especially when you spiced it with garlic, nutmeg and chilli, layering it over each other in the space of 45 seconds!” Amelia gave him a thumbs up, relishing the food. Adam was glad she liked it, and the fact that she hadn’t lost her ability to dissect food tastes. Back at the Hemsworth mansion, Amelia was always the one dictating to the chef how to layer the seasonings. A
Adam sat still for a while, allowing the words to sink in. Williams was an illegitimate son! Now, all the crimes he committed made more sense. He had been wondering how a son could put his own father through such emotional blackmail, exposing him to ridicule and humiliation. Now, everything was clear. Isaac was never his father, therefore there was no obligation to show him kind feelings. And now, his father, the legitimate son was the one bearing the brunt of all the drama. A muscle ticked Adam’s jaw as he lifted his eyes to his father’s face. His lashes were fluttering! Adam jumped up, rushing to the ECG machine to monitor his vitals. Everything was normal. Adam’s heart raced with excitement. Seems his father was about to wake up. Philip and Richard were still speaking to each other, oblivious to what was happening. “I always knew that Williams of a man would be bad blood. It won’t be far-fetched if he is the person behind all of this. He always hated Felix and showed it when
The vase smashed against the wall, narrowly missing Philips forehead by a second. Felix stared at Phlip with so much hate and angst. "If not for you, my family might well still be in a good condition! It's all your fault, the fake report you gave the police was what ruined my company and my family!" Adam dashed forward in a effort to restrain his father. "Dad, please!" Apart from the fact that he was over-exrrtibg himself and firing his muscles to move, he was also conjuring up the emotions of the past which could be fatal. "Can you please calm down. You just came awake, you can't be moving so much!" Adam explained his father, buy the man still kept sending death glares to Philip. "It was all a misunderstanding, Felix. I didn't know that report could ruin your company's image so much." "Was that why you lied against me?" Felix hissed hotly. "You and the investigators knew that there was no signs of hard drugs in my company facilities, but you went ahead and wrote a report on
At the office the following day, Adam hadn't as much as stepped out of the lift when he heard a commotion at the entrance of the board room. Ernestine, Thomas and Richard were at the door, yelling at someone to come open it. "What is going on here?" Adam walked briskly to approach them. "Ah, thank God you're here, Carson. Can you speak to Roberto and ask him to open the door at once?" Adam peeked in and see Roberto sitting at the head of the table, stating at something on his phone. "We intended to use this place for our meeting, and we were already seated, but this brat suddenly barged in and ordered the guards to send us out!" Ernestine was fuming red. "Can you imagine the guts of that bastard? When did he become the President that he's already throwing his weight around?" Thomas was also totally pissed. "Please calm down, let me try to talk some sense into his brains." Adam tried to coax them. He couldn't blame them for being so upset though. Roberto was already crossin
