"Please don't be mad at my daughter." Lori also took the cue and went on her knees as well. Ever since she spent a week in Lord Jared's dungeon, her behaviour had improved drastically. Adam could only imagine the extent of torture she had endured there. "Seraphina, can't you see we're begging on your behalf! Why aren't you on your knees already?" Lori yelled at her. "W...What did I do, Mum? Why should I kneel? I didn't do anything wrong!" Seraphina pouted, making her bruised face look more swollen. "Let me go, I'm fine now." Cleo muttered softly to the guard holding her. When he did, she slowly cracked her knuckles. Adam clenched his fists in frustration. "Look, I don't care what you came here for, the cops are already on their way, so please cooperate with them to explain why-" he was interrupted by a loud bang. "I'll tell you what you did wrong!" In a split second, Cleo had flown across the room to give Seraphina another smack across the face. "You cursed a little girl to die
Cleo stepped away from Adam's grip before she got hope of herself. "I was ready to kill her! How could someone be so vulgar?"Adam gazed into the distance. "Seraphina is so changed now, perhaps due to Roberto's influence or something. When we first got married, we were genuinely in lobe with each other. It was when my father disappeared and I had to depend on her parents for survival she changed." Adam gazed into the distance. "And now she's completely the shadow of her former self." Adam shook his head in pity. "Don't tell me that's why you've been holding back?" Cleo slammed at him, a huge frozen on her face. "You still have feelings for someone that cheated on you and left you to die?""Phew, calm down, Cleo! Who did anything about having feelings?" Adam was confused as to where her aggressiveness is coming from. "My revenge has to do with her entire family not her alone, besides I have arranged Liam and Craig to drug her and get her signature by force. We are getting divorced to
At the company, Roberto kept trying to prove his power. Since his grandfather had instructed him not to remove the board of members, he had been looking for other ways for them to feel his wrath and anger. "Here is a copy of a new rules and regulations I invented for my company!" He announced with a clap. Everyone stared at the piece of paper like it was full of bullshit. "You must be kidding me!" Ernestine flung it off with a hiss. "What's the agenda for today's meeting? We didn't come here for all the useless crap!" "Well bad news, I called this emergency meeting for that decision you called crap just now." Roberto stared condescendingly at the board members. “I am the President here, and in charge of all what goes on in this company! These are the rules and regulations you are required to follow, anyone that refuses is merely asking to be kicked out!” Murmurs of shock went up the hall. “What the fuck is the meaning of this crap, Roberto? When did you become the Presiden
Adam was still caught in his thoughts when he arrived at his office. He was quite surprised to meet 2 men waiting for him. “Mr Carson, we thought now would be a good time to head over to Senior Walters, we need to get an explanation as his regards his recent actions concerning the company.” Adam thought of it and decided. “Yeah, we can head over now.” 20 mins later, they were arriving at the gates of the Walters residence here in Colorado. Adam was meticulous enough to do his research before coming here. This mansion was one of the properties Isaac had allocated to Felix before his accident with Nora back then. It also doubled as one of the biggest mansions in the whole of Colorado, and he was positive this place was one of the most mansions Roberto and his father coveted. They drove into the huge gates. The mansion was surrounded by over 45sq ft well-trimmed lawn, with paths leading to the entrance spanked by palm trees on both sides. “Whoa. I didn’t realize there was such a ma
Thomas and Ernestine were seated opposite Isaac, their faces grim and determined. “How’s your health now?” Thomas has to ask before they jumped in. No matter what, Isaac was still like a friend to them. “Trying my best to cope.” Isaac replied. “Alright, we came to inquire regarding a few clauses present on the deed of transfer document you signed to make Roberto the President.” Ernestine announced in a cold voice, placing a copy of the document on the table. “To be more specific, the clause has been highlighted in green marker.” Isaac stared at it for barely a second before dropping the document on the table. “And what exactly do you not understand by this simple clause?” “The governing party hands over to the recipient for a probationary period of 2 months. After this, he reinstatement will solely depend on how the company fared under his tenure.” Ernestine read out the clause with raised brows. “Care for an explanation regarding why you didn’t make him a permanent President?”
“Good for us I have friends in this restaurant. Before they arrived I was able to infiltrate and secretly plant a camera in the room.” Barry explained how he got the video via text. “Alright. Get as much evidence of his face as possible!”Adam replied enthusiastically. “When they leave we will take care of the rest!” Adam played rewind on the video, watching the man’s features closely. From the way he was seated, Adam could tell he was more than 6ft tall, with broad shoulders, a round face, a sharp resolute jaw and small sunken eyes that darted around in alert. A dangerous aura surrounded the man giving a warning sign to whoever tried to mess with him. To say he was shocked was an understatement! This was definitely a conspiracy concerning his death. For Leonardo and the housekeeper back at the Walters mansion be so convinced that he was dead and buried. And here the man sat, looking all calm and dangerous. Adam glanced at his face again, feeling like he had felt this aura somewh
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
