Adam settled on his seat in preparation for the meeting with the board of directors. Today, the police would be arriving to announce the results of the investigation they had done. All things being equal, this company was close to being rid of all the incapable people Roberto had employed. "What's up, Adam. Are you ready?" Richard suddenly asked from the side. They were both in his office, going through all the documents and getting ready for the meeting together. "More than ready." Adam got up, checking his watch. "We better start going."As they got up, Adam recalled the ordeal with Lord Jared's father yesterday. The man had been shocked that he was Adam Carson, Seraphina Hemsworth's husband and the man that is always punished by his in laws. Adam was perplexed at first, but he later ignored the feeling. He was once filmed, shivering in the cold while his mother-in-law yelled and cursed at him. Then, the video went viral and everyone in Colorado referred to him as the slave
"Keep quiet, Roberto! Your silly input is useless in such a heated atmosphere!" Adam shut him down immediately. "Please calm down." He patted Richard, who was already on the verge of causing a commotion by beating Max up. Even though Richard just confessed to withdrawing money without company's consent, he knew there would be a tangible reason behind it. Adam got up to retrieve the new files the police had brought. "And if I may ask, where did you guys get this files that we weren't able to lay our hands on it during our auditing?""That's because you didn't look well." Garrett spoke up. "You were so focused on finding fault with us and Roberto that you didn't bother to look well!""That's right, creep. You accused us unjustly back then. Now that the truth is out, better start apologizing, else your old man will be spending some time in jail!" Sean slammed back at him. "Apologize for what?" Richard asked angrily. "Don't you dare try to thwart this towards me. I say it and I remain
"What's happening?" Seraohine shrieked as the factory was thrown into panic. All the children fell to the floor, clutching their stomach and spitting up blood. "Jamil, what happened?" the teacher panicked, bending to tap one of the students. "My mouth hurts..." the child managed to stutter before he went unconscious. "What did you put in the toothpaste?" The teacher faced Seraphina with an accusing glare. "What? Are you saying-?" Her hearts skipped several beats per minutes. "Weren't they all full of energy when they stepped in to this place? Why did they all fall down after tasting the toothpaste?" The teacher lunged herself at Seraphina. "You have poisoned them with your stupid product, how am I supposed to explain to their parents and the school authorities?""Ms Crawford.." Seraphina tried to calm the agitated woman down. "Ma'am, children need help. We have to call an ambulance!" several stages hurried around trying to resuscitate the children but it only led to them vomiti
"What do you mean the doctor set you up? Is he the one in charge of this place?" One of the mothers, an influential woman, Mrs Brooks flared up. "You better be getting ready to pay compensation for hurting my child. I'm going to sue you to court!""Ma'am. The supervisor is the one responsible for this grave mistake. We will be handing her over for investigation soonest!" Mr George assured them despite the pleading from Seraphina. "I don't care, someone must pay for what happened!" Others echoed. "Rest assured." Mr George apologized again and took his leave with the paramedics. "Madams, please." Seraphina fell on her knees in pleading. "The lawsuit will ruin my career and all I've worked for!""How could you be so careless? If it wasn't for the doctor, we would have lost our children!""Wait, you are related to the doctor, right?" Another woman suddenly asked. . Seraphina glared at him with a huff. "He and I are-""Married?" Mrs Brooks asked. "You're Seraphina Hemsworth. I attended
"If any harm comes to my father, I'll kill you!" Adam was so enraged that he didn't realize when he broke the hard door with his fists. He pulled the door apart completely and dashed inside. "Where the fuck are you? Come and face me!"But the ward was empty. Adam quickly checked his father. The ECG machine was still beeping normally. And his respiratory and heart rate was normal. By the time Adam could check the drip and really ascertain that his father was okay, the police had invaded the place. "There's no one here!" They reported to each other. "Go check the CCTV footage!""Are you sure?" Adam turned around to the bathroom, checking behind the curtains and everywhere but he couldn't find the trace of the person that passed the letter to him. "Where could he have disappeared to?" the head police quickly summoned his men to surround the hospital. Some doctors came to ascertain Felix's situation and announced. "The patient is perfectly fine. Nothing is wrong with him.""We still
Adam watched as Cleo quickly retrieved a bowl of water, her trembling hands placing the letter into the water. "It can't be more than a threat, why are you so-?""It's way more than that, Master. Only powerful men use this as a medium to pass messages across. And for him to go to this extent just to deliver the letter, it has to mean the content is very alarming!"Cleo's explanation didn't seem to make sense but Adam kept quiet. "There!" In the water, the letter had changed color from a white to a stark red with letters in black print becoming visible. 'Adam, you disregarded my warning the first time I gave it, but this time don't expect me to go easy on you. Stay away from Walters Corporations if you want the safety of your loved ones! Disregarding this letter is at your own detriment, don't blame me for being ruthless at the end of the day!'"How about you come and face me like a man?" Adam yelled at the letter. "Stop inc a coward and come out face to face!""You didn't tell me
"First, you'll be the one doing most of the work from now on. You do the delivery, mailing, messaging, customizing, branding and even emailing prospective clients!" Adam placed the offer in front of Skylar. "Are you willing to keep working under these terms?"She frowned, sending a hateful glare at Sabrina. "Then what would that bi-. Sorry, Miss Sabrina be doing?""She would be assisting me while I take over the Sales department and make it functional again.""What?" Sean and Roberto echoed from where they were seated. "I'm not going to ask you again, Miss Skylar." Adam relaxed back on his seat. He could easily let her go, but he needed to retain some staff with experience so the burden of training new entries won't be too taxing on Sabrina. "Alright. I'm willing to accept the terms.""Don't forget my instructions. Never use a vulgar, curse or swear word during official hours! One use and you're gone permanently." Adam said and waved both women off. "What do you think you're doing?
"Please have mercy on me! I'm innocent!" Lori screamed as Lord Jared pressed her head into the cold water again. "You're still so adamant, huh?" Jared pushed her off and returned to his seat. "Mum, why don't you just tell the truth? Perhaps Lord Jared would be gracious enough to forgive you!" Carmen shouted in fear. "Keep quiet!" Fred slapped her face. "What are you trying to say?""Son, you believe I'm innocent right?" Lori turned her swollen face to them. "I didn't try to murder anyone.""Yes, Mum. I totally believe that you are innocent, and it was all Adam Carson's plan to implicate you!""That's not true, Fred. Stop giving your mother false hope, she is guilty and we all saw it on the CCTV footage!" Carmen spoke up, but they all shut her down immediately. "What do you know about CCTV footage, Carmen? Who even asked for your input here?" Ernest yelled. "My mother is innocent, that's all I know. This man must have collaborated with that bastard to hurt my mother! That video is
