Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 142. The dangerous Device.
As the words "a gun" left her lips, she felt bewilderment creep up her neck. Could it truly be a gun that caused the tire to burst?Did someone shoot out their tire? She didn't have time to investigate further. Doubt crept in as she ran her hands through her hair. If she didn't get a move on, she'd be late before the bomb went off. "Gun?" The driver echoed, turning to face her with raised eyebrows. She nodded, already growing impatient. "A fucking bullet. I don't have time to check the type of bullet now," she muttered, more to herself than the driver. Checking her pocket for money, she continued, "I better find another taxi. Here, for your trouble." She pressed the money into his hand, not waiting for change. Being late was not an option. Arguing would only waste more precious minutes.She stepped onto the roadside as she glanced back and forth for another taxi, but none appeared on the empty street. With a huff of frustration, she slammed her fists against a pole.If waiting wa

"Huh?" blinked in confusion as his eyes traveled to her hands. She was carrying a file folder clutched to her chest as she walked in. Henry quickly stood in her way.Her head arched towards him. "Excuse me," she said politely but firmly, side stepping around him and entering the office. Though, her movements came to a halt as her eyes caught the view of the office.“What the hell?!” She exclaimed.Shit! Henry cursed. He looked past her and saw the state the room was in. Papers and folders scattered everywhere, furniture toppled over. Almost everywhere she stepped, there was a new file for her leg to step on. It no longer resembled an office, but more like a place where a struggle had taken place.Irene slowly turned around, her eyes scanning the chaos. Her forehead creased deeper with each new discovery.Henry could see the questions building up in her eyes, ready to burst out. Irene felt a momentary fear when she saw the scene, but she tried to calm herself. She examined Henry close

The lights of the bomb's components were off, and the timer had gone blank, blending in the darkness. Henry opened Clifford's drawer, took out a torch, and switched it on.He positioned it to shine on the bomb so he could see clearly.There were some parts of it that were still emitting light, but they gradually went dark. Henry couldn't believe how relieved he felt at that moment. He took a deep breath, realizing that everything was returning to normal and that a new tragedy wouldn't occur in Green Hill City. Simon's plans had already failed. Everything had crumbled before his eyes.As the last glow of the bomb died away, Henry's gaze drifted to Irene. In the torchlight, he saw a wide smile of relief and joy splitting her face. His eyes couldn't help but reflect with gratitude towards her. If not for her quick wits, who knows how many lives might have been lost this night? She had saved his father's legacy, the company he'd spent decades building.At that moment, Henry wanted noth

"Get in,” he said gruffly, his gaze fixed on the road ahead of them.Though his expression was stern, she recognized the annoyance in his tight jaw. With a nervous smile, she pulled open the passenger door. A rush of cool air greeted her, bringing instant relief from the heat. Her cotton top clung to her damp skin, but in the car's chill she saw no need to remove it just yet. Sliding into the seat and banging the door shut, she glanced at Henry. Priscilla sighed, leaning her head back as the cool air dried the sweat on her skin. His grip tightened on the steering wheel as he shot her a sidelong glance. "You've got some explaining to do." She nodded, eyes downcast. As the car pulled away from the curb, she launched into her story. "I know, I'm sorry. When I got the message, I flagged a taxi and rushed down but something seemed off from the start. The tires suddenly burst and I had to leave the taxi for another one. The other taxi came back and it turned out it was part of the plan

Henry's mind raced with confusion. What was Irene doing here? He had only expected to find Priscilla after she covered him with a blanket the night before. "How did you get in?" he asked Irene. She tilted her head, a playful smile on her lips."You were dead to the world when I arrived," she replied. "Snoring like a chainsaw in the garden, might I add." She chuckled at the memory. "I tried waking you at first, making plenty of noise as I cleaned. Banging drawers, blasting the vacuum." Her smile turned sly. "But you slept through it all. So I decided to let you rest and tidy up instead."Irene took a step back, leaning against the doorframe once more. "You must've been more tired than I thought. I'm just glad you're finally up." Henry was still as confused, but he merely shrugged, going into the bathroom to dress up.After getting dressed into his usual suit and suit pants, Henry exited his room and glanced over the banister. Irene stood below, her forehead creased in concentration

"Oh," Henry said, his voice calm yet tense as he absorbed her words. His body went still, every muscle taut as if bracing for impact. A frown line formed between his brows while the corners of his mouth turned down ever so slightly. He understood where this was heading now. "You see, Jade was different when we first met," she began, her eyes growing misty as she recalled those early days. A small, bittersweet smile played at the corners of her mouth. "He was a really good guy. He had a way of advising me, guiding me on what to do and what not to do." Her hands gestured animatedly as she spoke, as if shaping the memory in the air before her. "His vibes were so nice that I couldn't help but fall for him," she admitted, a pink blush rising in her cheeks at the revelation. Her smile widened for a moment before fading, and she paused, eyes growing distant as her mind wandered back in time. Her body stilled, hands falling limply into her lap as the past claimed her.After a long moment,

Priscilla lowered the barbell onto the rack with a satisfied sigh, finishing her last set of squats for the morning. Her muscles burned pleasantly from the intense workout. After a quick stretch to cool down, she grabbed her towel and water bottle. On the way out of the gym, she wiped the sweat from her brow and took a long drink. The café across the street was just opening as Priscilla arrived. She ordered an egg white scramble and fruit salad, finding a small table by the window. As she ate, she watched the morning traffic go by and let her body unwind. Feeling reenergized, she checked the time - still plenty of morning left. Priscilla dumped her dishes and hustled back across the street, eager to get in another session before work. The familiar sounds and smells of the gym surrounded her as she stepped inside, ready to push herself even further.Priscilla finished tying the ribbon in her hair and glanced at her reflection, checking her appearance. As she turned to leave, one of th

Stepping out of the kitchen, she stopped in her tracks. On the table sat a plate, crumbs scattered around its edges. She sighed, lifting the plate and carrying it back to the sink. As she passed the dining chairs, a subtle scent caught her attention. Leaning down, she inhaled softly. It was a light perfume, certainly not the strong cologne of a man. Yet the fragrance seemed familiar... But she had no time for guessing games. Shaking her head, she strode to the front door and pulled it open. The morning sunlight greeted her as she stepped outside and started down the road that led to Ms. Susan's mansion in the distance. Whoever had been here, and left that faint perfume trailing in their wake, would have to remain a mystery for now. She had an appointment to keep. As she approached the mansion, the tall iron gates swung open with a creak. The gatekeeper peered out from his small guardhouse and offered a nod of recognition. "Good morning, miss. Back again for your training, I see."

Henry also once felt that Caeser was the boss but then again, Simon mentioned the fact that his boss was after Caesar and he also met him when he then confirmed that he was sent a life threatening letter for stopping the weapons from entering inside Green Hill city. He scoffed. "I'm definitely sure that he isn't, Caeser is just Stella's friend who wants nothing than the power of White Group to win the next election coming up" The guard nods his head as Henry picked up his phone and dialed Irene's number and That time she picked the call. "Hey Henry, lots of things happened but I'm fine" Henry was confused as concern filled up on his face, he was already reaching his room as he opened the door awaiting her response. "The manager, I think your friend was questioning me about you, not that I'm annoyed though but I think he sounded a little mean" "Just tell what did he say to you" "He asked whether I like you or something then he was like you are meant for someone, then some

"Look, even at that you don't have to fight for it, I'm a man and I know that for sure that Henry will fight for Irene if I'm not lying she is in love with him right?" Quo asked as she doesn't even respond to him she felt it was a waste of time talking to him, she just want someone to understand her and support her with everything. "I know the answer to that already but why don't you just go rest?" She immediately grabbed him by the collar as she was just an inch closer to him feeling his breathe. "Just because we fucked doesn't mean you have the right to question me, it was a huge mistake from my side and also I think I would block your fucking number..." Before she could finish what she was saying he kissed her lips. "It was fun right?" He asked as she immediately removed her hands from his collar the cringed really hard that she felt like taking a knife and slit her throat. Immediately she left Henry's house that day, she got a call from Quo to come meet her if she h

193. The guesthouse
"I know"Henry muttered but Victor and Samson just realized it.How are they going to share the room, because there was no way one of the them would sleep on the couch, but Henry already solved this issue so he wasn't worried about it."Just continue showing us around please" The man nods his head, what was on his mind was that he would sent some boys to bring in atleast a two bed bunk so that the last two persons can sleep on them,but since Henry didn't bother he refused to bring that up again, he was just focusing on showing them each of the rooms.Henry smiled because the room was big enough and has a comfy bed, it's soft and was really a cool one, all the rooms were cleaned very well, and arranged properly, even the toilet Henry expected that it won't be that convincing but still it was okay, nothing like it was manageable, he was grateful for that, he knows that if he would tell Clifford or snap it and how it to him he would immediately change the guesthouse or atleast they will

Samson's eyes widened in surprise, he wasn't told that it was this long, the only thing Henry told him was that, they were going to find Simon who was also the cause of his brother's death and he was determined to find him at all cost, his brother has done a lot for him so atleast what he could for him is to find his killer and maybe put him in cell or kill him. Henry scoffed as he saw in the rearview mirror how his big his eyes came out then went back to normal, his plan was that after some hours of drive almost reaching mid night then they would stay either at a hotel or guesthouse then after that the next morning would be another ride.He doesn't want to spend all the hours at the road driving while they will be all hungry and sleepy, and that's what Samson thought too as he reasoned with Henry in his mind."Well that true, I can't leave my tummy empty without having something to eat, I might end up dying if I'm trying to fight"Samson grumbled as Victor scoffed.

"who?" She asked as she then thought that it was Henry since he was the only person he knew that would come looking for her at the office and maybe to tell her for the fact that he wasn't going to be around."The manager Clifford" Her eyes widened as she shifted herself from the bed and sat down at the edge of the bed. "But why? Did I do something wrong?""Not really but though he was like you should come to my office immediately, he sounded so serious though"Her heart sank as she began to think where she made a mistake, but she could grasp anything bad she had ever done, she has always been a good lady with her staffs and also the director of the sales department."Look you shouldn't worry about anything okay?""Are you sure?" Irene asked because she was doubting it."Of course, if anything bad happens all of us wouldn't agree to it, you have been a good lady to all of us so I think you shouldn't worry at all, or was they something you did that I'm not aware of?

He felt his heart sank as he wondered what she was doing at her place, it has been a long time now since he ever set his eyes on her, he felt so angry at this point, he prayed nothing bad happened to Irene. When they reached her house, he came down even before the driver tries coming down to open the door for him."I will be right back" Henry muttered casually so they won't see that he was so tensed up.As he walked into her small apartment, he knocked first but there was no response, he was about to say it's him but he doesn't know where she was at that moment.He took a deep breathe as he knocked again and this time he heard a sound of a key shaking close to the door as it got opened. Irene gazed up at him with her jaw clenched and her eyebrows lowered and was almost to mutter a word but then it was Henry as she chooses to calm down, her eye lit up then she slowly smiled. "Come in" Henry hesitated for a moment before he came inside, he looked thoroughly to make sure that the mat

Immediately Henry spotted him sitting down on the staircase, he walked really fast to his side, victor saw him coming as he stood with his laptop and a school bag he carried in his hand."So you are all ready right?" Henry asked as he nods his head. He was putting on a baggy jeans and a hoodie, it was winter already so that why he was dressing like that.After he opened the door and entered inside, he walked really fast upstairs like taking two stairs so he would be fast. He reached his room as he began to arrange some of his things inside his back to embark on this journey, he really hoped that it would be a success and won't end up taking lives.After he was done arranging his things, he came out of his room then as he sighed Priscilla's room he decided to check whether she was inside so that he would be able to tell her a good bye, she has his spare keys so they won't be any problem.As he peeped through the window, no one was inside, it was literally empty, he sighed as he knew

Henry's phone begins to ring as he took it out from his pocket when he saw the name of the screen he picked it up immediately."Hello Henry, it's seems you are not at home, I'm at your doorstep now"He said with his innocent voice."Don't worry I will be back home, just give me sometime" Henry assured victor as he cut the call.He was stunned that he was already done with what he had and came early to his apartment, he was expecting them to be going at midnight, he was going with bodyguards so there was no need of worrying about security, he is also security conscious. A call came through his phone as he planned on dropping it inside his pocket then he saw the caller ID which was Ms. Stella and then picked it up."Ok already coming to pick you up, I hope you are okay because you weren't picking up your calls, Caeser said the meeting was over" Henry placed his left hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, he was actually dealing with them Ryan and Clara and that's why he didn't eve

"I think you should mind the way you talk to my wife Henry or else.."Henry blurted. "Or else what? And what did I say to her that's bad now? I don't really like the fact that you make me seem like the bad guy here""And of course you are, you have changed and she is trying to tell you how bad that is...""Is she my mum?"This made Ryan speechless, he just stared at Henry, clenching his fists and controlling himself not to give him a mark on his face. "And also isn't it you guys who stopped at my business? Why can't you just leave? Not that I'm holding you, the fuck is wrong with all of you, and what would you gain from insulting me, huh?"Clara scoffed. "Because you deserved it Henry" "Does that make any sense to you? Clara I was fucking good to you right? And I make sure you enjoyed my company, I stayed by your side and make sure that I would bear anything that you do to me, remember raining insults on me during your birthday night and I literally had to apologize, huh?"
