"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
"So you're saying I can't see my friend right now to clarify the issues between us?" Philip asked, his voice grave. "I get how you feel, uncomfortable cause of the kind of hatred your friend is showing towards you due to a misunderstanding, but please we have to be cautious." Adam explained seriously. "My father just woke up from coma and we cannot afford to be taking too much risks right now!" Adam didn't care if he came off as harsh. He really had to make sure it sank into this man's head. He knew how stubborn and impulsive Philip could be, same with his father Felix. "Alright. I've heard you. I'll try to avoid the confrontation for now." Philip replied and disconnected the call. "Why was he unable to reach you?" Richard asked as Adam returned the phone. "Don't tell me you directed his calls to voicemail?" Adam looked away in guilt, "what could I have done? I need to avoid speaking to him until my father is better." Richard nodded, parting his shoulders. "Dinner or later, th
After ascertaining the same set of report from Jude as well, Adam also worked him some money after getting off the call. "I heard she'll be at the Mall tomorrow morning, I'll be visiting to warn her to back off." He said so calmly that Cleo paused her hands on the new bandage she was wrapping around Holton's head. "And what has your threats accomplished during the past few months?" She placed her hands on her waist, glaring at him. "Nothing! Absolutely nothing!" "I don't intend to argue with you. Just wait and watch what will happen." Adam said and spun around. "I'll also visit those useless people, but not with you." Cleo muttered, returning back to the bandage. Adam got into his room and placed a call to Barry. "I have a huge job for you." "As long as the pay is fat as well." Barry laughed. "Money is not an issue, I just found out the 4 set of people that are meant to judge the Annual Prestigious Family Awards. Look into them and give me feedback by tomorrow morning." "A
