Four imposing bodyguards clad in sleek black attire stood in a disciplined formation outside Mark's villa in Clovelly.Their unwavering gazes were scanning the surroundings with the precision of a hawk. Each of the men exuded an air of silent strength, with their well-built frames and their formidable capabilities. Dark sunglasses shielded their eyes, veiling the intensity that lurked beneath. They were wearing tailored black suist, and earpieces they wore sparked a sense of seamless communication, creating an invisible shield around their charge. As guardians of security, they remained vigilant, prepared for any potential threat and along with that, three bulletproof cars adorned the entrance of the building. These vehicles stood as silent sentinels, as the tinted windows could conceal the occupants within, adding an aura of mystery to their presence.As they remained stoic and poised, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice, ensuring that safety prevailed in the shado
The harsh clang of iron bars echoed through the dimly lit corridor as Mariella, in a bright orange prison uniform, was escorted to her designated cell. She had been brought straight to a high- security prison cell due to her direct confession that had been recorded by Violet. Even though her living conditions had deteriorated overnight, Mariella maintained her silence.No matter how shameless she was in the privacy of her home, she had a reputation to maintain in the outside world- at least until the news of her black deeds was leaked. As she walked past the cells, Moira and Andrew, who were in adjacent cells, caught sight of Mariella. They were completely shocked at first, as they rushed to the gates of their cells; and their shock turned into disbelief as they exchanged puzzled glances. Moira's eyes widened as she muttered to Andrew;"Is that... Grandma? In a prison uniform?"Andrew nodded in confirmation with a sadistic smirk on his face;"I swear to hell and back, it is defini
Anthony could never possibly be prepared for the fact that Mark will ever be able to make it to the meeting.After all, his entire plan for exposing Mariella was just because he wanted to keep Marcus busy with the problems related to his in-laws and his wife.After all, all he wanted was to keep him as distant from the family business as he could, and that's why he had asked Nina to send Connor to deliver those papers to Mark's office.He had also done so, according to Nina, because she was the one who was in direct contact with Connor.Then how was it possible, that he was present there after leaving his only wife alone with her grandmother, after she was still trying to hurt her because of his grandson?He knew it has already cost him a fortune to extract the exact part of their conversation where she was confessing about the fact that she woild never step back from her attempts to create a misunderstanding between the married couple.Also he has made sure to make two more copies a
These words from Mark were the last thread that had unraveled Anthony's patience, and also the reason for the complete outlash from him.Already, he was trying to tackle his fear that Tim Guolong might already have blurted everything out in front of him, but there was no time to think about that right now.Right now, the most important thing which his attention should be on, was to figure out who had the remaining fifty percent of the shares… because this was the reason he had killed Matteo in the first place.He was aware of the fact that if someone from the Rover family died without transferring their shares to anyone, then after a period of five years, the shares would automatically go to the person who held the majority of the shares at the moment.Otherwise, they would simply go to a trust, and the company would run with the existing shares on the surface.And in both these cases, he didn't have to bother about anything.So, he spoke looking back at Mark;"Oh, really! I don't kno
Cassie had fallen asleep shortly after the car had left the villa. It seemed like she hadn't even realized how exhausted she had gotten by the events of the day until she found herself in the warm interior of the car. The rhythmic hum of the car engine, combined with the gentle swaying motion, had lulled her into a deep sleep. She had taken her phone out of her purse, probably to notify Mark, but her eyes had closed on their own before she could even type anything. The bodyguard in the co- passenger seat checked the rearview mirror and found that she was in a deep sleep, completely unaware of what was going on around her. Her head was tilted to the side as she leaned on the window, and hair had become a little disheveled.The bodyguard turned around and lunged from his seat to reach out towards her. He easily snatched the phone from her grasp. He inspected it carefully, before glancing at Cassie's face and remarking with a smirk,"I guess you won't be needing this any longer, wil
Anthony knew that he had lost the battle he had spent so much time, money and dedication preparing for.But there was still one thing in his favor, commonly known as determination. It was this feeling of determination that had been present in his heart since eternity, and had grown gradually over a period of time with his desire to exact his revenge from the Rovers.And this was the reason why he was not ready to listen, or act according to the circumstances that were playing out in front of him.Instead, he decided to try his luck one more time, as he opened his mouth;"Huh! Just because you have power and a position in society, do you really think that you can buy anyone? How can we believe that Guolong is not your man, and you have not brought him along for a false testimony?Because till now, whatever statements you have presented are just based on an assumption where you have painted me to be the villain of your story, the killer of your brother… But reality and the judiciary nee
It was the first time in Mark's entire life that the anger burning inside his heart was not ready to be calmed down, by any means.Just when he was seeing everything falling into place and it looked like everything was going to be okay, there was still something that was making him uneasy. And even for the emotional turmoil inside his heart, Anthony was the only person whom he could find at the place of the culprit.This was why, he was not ready to listen to any of his explanations, nor was he ready to let anyone talk to him.And on the other hand, Anthony thought he was getting a little closer to starting a completely new game of manipulation, seeing the old man who once used to have a soft corner for him. However, he was left to burn in the raging fire of anger, after noticing that Mark wasn't going to allow him to speak to Maxwell privately, either.Hence, he had to choose the extreme way that he really didn't want to go for– but now… now, Mark had not left any other option for
Mark's statement was enough to make everyone shake like a single leaf left on the bare branch of an autumn tree, which was afraid of falling down with just a gust of wind.But before they could have come up with something that could be even vaguely helpful for their case, Mark spoke again;"And since you have decided to cheat my family– not only today, but you all have actually been doing this for so long. That's why, I will be setting up an investigation committee for all of you.And until the investigation gets over, not even a single one of you is allowed to use any of your powers in the company-""But Marcus, how can you doubt us? I know whatever we were about to do was wrong, but try to think from our perspective too. Then you'll realize that we really didn't have any other option.If we hadn't supported Anthony now, then we would be forced to surrender our shares for the price he would have offered to us-""Oh really, uncle Halter? I guess, you didn't have any choice when you we
