Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 73: Who is he working for?
Henry rapidly turned on his phone and tapped away at it, double checking that the files were still secure, both the one for Irene's case and the one for Simon. "Phew, they're all here," he muttered, nodding his head when he saw all was intact.They were inside Clifford's car meanwhile Clifford's bouncers were the ones riding Henry's car to his duplex.Clifford sighed loudly, running a hand through his hair in the front seat. Henry, not looking up from the screen of his phone, asked, "Something on your mind?""You and that phone are gonna be the death of me," Clifford grumbled, gesturing at the phone. "What is it? Afraid you'll have to seize it?" Henry asked lightly, continuing to scroll. "Because it almost landed us in big trouble?" "Of course not. But you know Ma'am Susan would surely take it in a heartbeat if she heard about this latest mess." Henry stayed silent for a moment. They both knew how overprotective Susan could be over Henry. "Don't worry," he finally replied. "When we

All these questions ran through his mind as he sighed heavily, his shoulders slumping with the weight of it all. He lay back on the bed, rubbing his hands over his face in frustration. His brow furrowed as old memories and clues swirled in his thoughts. He would get to the bottom of this, just like all the other mysteries he'd solved. *As morning light filtered through the windows, he rolled onto his side.After his shower, the hot water helped soothe his tired muscles but did little to calm his restless mind. He towel dried his hair, sending droplets flying around his bare shoulders.Getting dressed in comfortable clothes, he paced the room as he debated his plan of attack. His stomach rumbled, reminding him he hadn't eaten. Breakfast was a hurried affair as he shoveled down cereal, barely tasting it in his focus. As he contemplated working out at the gym versus at home, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. The gym offered more equipment options but meant being around other people.

Clifford had always been lean and fit - there's no way he could've gained so much weight overnight. Now who the hell is at his front of him if not Clifford? His dressing was also similar to Clifford's; always looking posh and sophisticated. Every nerve was on high alert as he stared down the imposter before him. The fake Clifford cocked his head, still smiling that unnerving smile. Then, almost languidly, he raised his hands. Henry tensed, fight or flight instincts screaming. But the man merely placed his palms on either side of his head, fingers threading into the short hair. In one smooth motion, he pulled. The mask came away, the illusion falling apart. Where Clifford's friendly face should be was a harsher countenance all too familiar to Henry."Surprise," the man grinned, tossing the discarded mask aside. Recognition and rage slammed into Henry all at once.He stared in shock and disgust at the man before him wearing Clifford's face."Simon," he spat, unable to believe he had
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 76: Welcomed by Clifford
Henry's heart pounded in his chest, as his fingers clenched tightly into fists.He desperately strained his eyes, following Simon's retreating figure down the hallway, with fury, but also carefulness on his face. He knew the lives of many peoples would be in danger if he should alarm the security guards.But immediately Simon's shadows cleared from his sight, Henry's body jolted into action. He quickly reached for his phone and went to the contacts.His thumb hovered over Clifford's contact, dialing it. However, his call went unanswered. He attempted to dial the number once more but it only resulted to another failed attempt.With a silent curse, he gave up on the calls. His fingers flew across the screen, tapping out a message to Clifford. "Where are you now? Come to the office immediately. We have something urgent to discuss."With a rapid press of the send button, Henry's eyes darted towards the office door as he swiftly rotated the handle, opening the door to Clifford's office.He
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 77: A mother's concern
Wearing the standard uniform of a white T-shirt and a sleek black skirt, she showed off the elegance of the mansion's staff. The white T-shirt and black skirt was basically the uniform of the staff of White mansion.The staff member was very skilled and carefully put a wine glass in front of Henry. She held the bottle perfectly and poured the deep red wine into the glass with skillful movements. The smell of the wine wafting through the air.After she completed her task, she took a few steps back, bowing her head as a sign of respect before quietly leaving the place.Henry's gaze hardened as he confronted the situation head-on, wasting no time in getting to the heart of the matter. "I wasn't the one who sent those texts to you, it was Simon," he stated bluntly.Susan, sipping her lemon juice nonchalantly, replied, "That's what we were discussing before you arrived, Henry." What? Henry was surprised they already knew about it. Curiosity crept into Henry's mind as he thought about it.

Henry immediately shook his head, dismissing the idea. "It's not Irene. I'm certain of that," he stated firmly. "Why are you so sure?" Clifford pressed, though he understood where he was coming from."When we were there, I watched her closely," Henry explained. "She wasn't on her phone, neither was she sneaking texts or calls like someone coordinating an ambush. And quite frankly, Irene simply isn't cunning or smart enough to indulge in this kind of act. Let's not misguide ourselves," he said.Henry leaned back in his chair, lost in thought. After a moment, he continued, "I know she seems the obvious suspect since she was with me in the restaurant. But we can't assume guilt just because someone was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Who knows, this might just be what Simon wants us to think; directing our suspicions at out friends."He believed in the saying that not all innocent-looking people are truly innocent. Some people use their innocent appearance to deceive easily fooled

The guards fell back respectfully as Henry walked with his old classmate.Henry didn't hesitate to shake it, although he felt a bit embarrassed by the guards. Nonetheless, he was still proud that Elvis had made it in life.As they shook hands, Henry surveyed Elvis's outfit. His wrist watch alone costs one hundred thousand dollars, and his suit was from saint Laurent, costing two hundred thousand dollars. Who would have thought he'd get this wealthy?"You have changed a lot," Henry smiled as he chuckled.Elvis smiled proudly. "What can I say? I have all the money to do that, my friend. But enough about me. How have you been? Haven't you secured a job yet? Why are you still like this?" He asked worriedly.Henry shook his head. "I guess my time hasn't come yet and it will. For now, let's go inside. Or you are waiting for your friends?" Henry calmly said.Elvis shook his head. "Of course not," he paused before continuing. "You know it's kind of surprising why you have a bad luck surroundi

Amber scoffed, eyes rolling hard enough to strain something. Disdain crossed across her features. "I mean, just take a look at your fellow men," she said, gesturing around the room. "Are they dressed up like you are now?" She placed her hands firmly on her hips, leaning forward slightly as she scrutinized his plain clothes. "Even if you can't afford luxurious stuffs, can't you at least dress nicely? It wouldn't hurt you know."Her hands rested firmly on her hips, as she stopped to await his response. It was as if his appearance personally offended her! Ugh!Henry dragged both palms down his face, his bones tired just from her taunts. Why was he always surrounded with such negative energy?Finding the nearest empty chair, he dropped into it with a sigh. Why would he bother giving her the benefit of a reply? She wasn't why he had come there anyway. He wouldn't waste another moment on her petty jabs.Some fights simply weren't worth having. His reason for being here had nothing to do wit

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? "She hissed bec

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?"
