Chapter Eleven – Jean

In front of a clinic, a red Lamborghini had been parked for twenty minutes before a man stepped out of the driver’s seat.

The security guards that had been watching the car were stunned when an elegant looking man stepped out of the car.

The man walked briskly to the other side of the passenger’s seat and opened the car door.

A blonde girl jumped out of the car and ran to the entrance, she stood and gaped. “Awww! This is the clinic, isn’t it?!”

The security guards gawked at her beauty with subtlety. The man sighed and walked to her, folding his arms around hers.

“Mother is in, let’s go.” he pulled her along, ignoring the gawking of the security guards.

As they walked into the clinic, the receptionist ran to them with smiles. “Sir Casimir, Miss Jean! Good morning. Hope you had a nice flight?”

Jean grinned widely. “We sure did! There was this old lady who got mad at me for talking in the first class…”

“We did. Thank you.” Casimir interrupted his little sister and marched past the receptionist who bowed her head as they left.

“She doesn’t care how your flight went, Jean. She’s just being polite.” He said when Jean had a sober look.

They got into a room within the first hall and Casimir sighed, releasing Jean from his hold.

“Mommy!” she jumped on the bed.

A lady in her forties was seated there, drinking a glass of alcohol, she had a slightly swollen face. “Hmm, Casimir, you came just in time, didn’t you? And you brought my little sugar plum.”

Casimir wore a straight face. “Where you able to meet him before your ‘accident’?” He was cold.

Jean began giggling. “Yes mommy, how did the ‘accident’ happen?”

Their mother frowned playfully, then smirked. “I decided not to meet him when I heard recent news. Things haven’t been merry for him.”

“What did you hear, Mother?” Casimir asked.

“He was in a coma for four years and just woke up. And worst, Thales Empire is fallen.”

Jean’s smile fell. “Fallen?” her tone sounded serious. “Who made such a great empire fall?”

“Well, there are rumors around but don’t you think you two meet him yourself? He’d surely know his own enemies.” Their mother replied.

Jean smiled again. “Roger! Let’s go, go, go!”

She pulled Casimir's arm and began marching off. Their mother had a knowing smirk on her face and Casimir saw it.

He frowned before leaving with Jean.

The receptionist gave a short bow when they walked out again but Casimir ignored it and headed straight for the Lamborghini.

When he got in, he exhaled. “Thales empire fell within the last five years. What do you know about it?” he asked Jean.

She was holding unto a teddy bear. She shook her head. “Nothing. Mommy didn’t let me know anything about it till now.”

Casimir started the car. “Very well then.”

Meeting Young Master Thales and promising alliance after his empire has fallen didn’t sound like a reasonable deal to him anymore.

His mother had been on about meeting the young master for five years now hence pushing him to difficult positions.

He drove out of the clinic and sped into the road. Jean made a joyful yell.

If the alliance wouldn’t be fruitful or he’d have to babysit Thales empire to maturity, what exactly does he gain by meeting the Young Master?

Jean’s phone began buzzing. “It’s Lady Brielle!”

The car swerved unnaturally but Casimir took control immediately, he stared at the road in shock then snapped his head at Jean.

Lady Brielle? “Why the hell did you call her?!”

Jean had a mischievous smile. “Oh nothing. She is Young Master Thales’s wife, right? I wanted to know how she and her husband were doing?”

Casimir clenched his fingers on the steering wheels. Jean always annoyed him like that.

Since she knew he had a crush on the Allen’s daughter, Lady Brielle, she always gave him heart attacks like this.

“Pick the call then!” he yelled.

Jean chuckled then cleared her voice. “Hello, Miss Jean speaking, is this Lady Brielle?” her voice sounded serious.

“Yes? Who’s this and how did you get my private number?” Brielle answered, confused.

“You are a public personality, that’s a stupid question. I’d like to speak with Young Master Dominic. I haven’t been able to get his line.”

Brielle frowned. She was in her office clearing the last files on her desk when the call came.

And that was the last thing she wanted to hear - someone asking her about her husband.

Since she heard he had awoken, she had been very uncomfortable. Her reaction surprised her because she should be happy but she wasn’t.

She never imagined he’d get over it, and she’s done so many regrettable things already.

“Get his line by yourself. How dare you speak to me like that!” she snapped.

Jean glanced at the phone and then put it in her ears again. She placed it on loud speaker so Casimir could hear it.

“Lady Brielle, I’m Miss Jean from the Timely Gadgets. I’m calling in respect to a collaboration with your husband.” Jean said more curtly.

“And I’m saying you should get lost! Contact him yourself. Are you trying to troll me too! I’d sue you!” Brielle was losing her temper.

She was trolled by masses when her husband was in a coma and now she’s trolled again when he was out? No one gave her a break.

Casimir stared at the phone wondering why she sounded so offended. “I think here in America, you must call the receptionist to book a collab.”

Jean shrugged then faced her phone. “Alright, mad-ma’am, I mean, madam, have a nice day.”

She hung up before Brielle could react.

Casimir gave her a tired look. “Something is wrong. The fall of the empire is getting to her.”

“She must be a terrible wife if she couldn’t get herself together because of that. She’d be pressuring the young master.” Jean sighed.

The car stopped in front of a huge three-storey building, painted newly in blue and red.

“Are these his favorite colors? It’s quite childish.” Jean said, still in her serious mode.

Casimir got out of the car and helped her open the car door, she got out. “Jean, let me do the talking when we get in, okay?”

“No way! I wanna talk too.” She whined, switching off her serious mode.

He stayed quiet and marched into the office. There were no security guards nor workers, the bulbs inside the building were switched on still.

“He must be paying heavy on electricity bills.” Jean shook her head and Casimir had to agree.

They got to the middle of the building with no human in sight. “He must not expect visitors.” Jean said the obvious. “So let’s scream!”

Before Casimir could stop her…

“Young Master Thales!! Lady Brielle!! I’m Miss Jean from the Timely Gadgets!!” Jean yelled.

Casimir took a step from her and adjusted his suit. It can’t be helped, he should just work on being presentable when they meet him.

Silence replied Jean and she frowned. “Could nobody be in? But the building was open.”

The door behind them opened.

“What are you doing here?” Dominic stared down at the two human forms before him.

He was just about drowning himself in coffee and documentations when he heard the scream. “And why are you looking for Brielle here?”

What do you think about Jean? What exactly is their connection to Thales?

We came to offer condolences for the death of your grandmother.” Casimir said, coming forward. Dominic’s eyes darkened on him. Jones? The name sounded familiar, and not really in his good book. “Thank you for the thoughts.” He was sure there was no enterprise called Timely Gadgets that his grandfather collaborated with. He had recently checked the log books. “Anything else you need from me?” he asked, taking a step back to show he needed to leave. “Where’s Lucas? I haven’t seen him.” Jean said suddenly.

He was heading for a meeting he looked forward to all day – meeting of the Dons. “This will be so exhilarating.” He said under his breath. “Another chance to trend!” The awoken Young Master gracing his presence at the exclusive party of young CEOs. Before his accident, he never took the meeting serious because it was just a glorified evening party yet he attended always. Showing his face at the party again will surely cause an interesting buzz, after all, he was still a young CEO just not as successful. He got in his car, drank bottle of water before starting the car. He’d be going for a two hours drive to make it, but he’d not miss it.

You wouldn’t even ask my name since your eyes don’t seem to work.” Dominic sighed disappointedly. He had regained some of his features so was definitely easier to recognize, except she wasn’t big on the Thales family. Which would be unreal. Miss Avarez clenched her fists. “Who are you speaking to like that? Excuse me?” she called for a guard. Dominic expression became serious. Was this lady about to cause a scene? He grabbed her arm and pulled her to his face. The guard noticed the act and rushed to him. “Miss Avarez, I’m not used to not being known. It’s never been said anywhere that the Thales heir wasn’t identified.” His

After helping him, he had no intentions of being friends again? He sighed. “Whatever. You have a clothing line?” Everett nodded, “I understand Thales empire released one before the fall. If they are good products, they can still make a debut in the market but in cheaper prices.” That piqued Dominic’s interest. He had been thinking of debuting the clothing line, since he had Suzy Jones as standby model, but he worried for it’s quality. “I bet they have great designs but the quality might be less now so take a bit from the price. You might run little loss but it’d give you first popularity.” Everett advised. Hearing Everett give good advice impressed Dominic bec

I guess they really have the Thales’ aura of fast success.” He scoffed. He read the source from the article of the Timely Gadgets he was reading. The name of the source seemed Russian. There had been some rumors that articles written from Russia were usually lies and paid by the celebrities spoken about. Jamie didn’t know what to make of it. There was barely any material on Timely Gadgets because they didn’t have a big online presence. But it seemed to be well known in Japan. He left the webpage and checked for ‘Casimir Jones’. Also not very known but he was mentioned in a blog page on giving charity to

That was a little bit too detailed. “Illegal hacker?” The adorable Jean he saw? “She was notorious but because she was a minor then, she was forgiven by government, also she had quite the talent. She works for IT now.” Selene explained. Dominic looked down. If that was their true identity, why did they come to him as Casimir and Jean Jones from the Timely Gadgets? Was there something else amiss? Even adding that they were his grandfather’s adoptive brother’s grandchildren? What was going on? “I didn’t think anyone would come all the way from Japan just to scam me.” Dominic remarked, not wanting to take everything on face value. “Timely Gadgets seems to be a real company too.” Selene added, like she agreed with him. Dominic studied her, arms folded. She was his

They were trying to register the transport service as a standalone instead of a courier service under the Thales Tech Gadgets. “How about Thales Transport?” Suzy suggested, lying on her stomach on the couch. Dominic didn’t hear her and Lucas acted like he didn’t also. “Check for ‘The Bumpy Ride’!” Silas yelled, nudging Lucas to type. Jamie gave him side eyes before looking away. Suzy frowned. If those men were going to come over to her house for their ‘meeting', the least they could do was listen to her suggestions. She rose up. “Uncle Silas. A similar name already exists. Bumpy Ride isn’t very comforting either.” Lucas replied. He was shoved aside as Suzy took over the computer. She inputted her suggestion. ‘Thales Transport.’ Dominic watched her. Her eyes brightened up. “See!” she giggled. “It’s not taken! ‘Thales Transport' captures the company’s name and purpose. It’s simple but al

Or should he have settled for one that wasn’t luxurious? He had wanted an apartment with similar aura to Thales Mansion they had lost. So Lucas would feel proud of being a Thales member after he surely must have regretted it while he was bullied at the orphanage. Also the duplex would be mysterious and very uninviting. Not all would appreciate it’s black and gold designs. It’d be really unique to behold. He smiled at the house documents, then patted it. “We’d move in within the week. Let everything move as quickly as possible.” His phone rang and he reached for it.The caller ID had Casimir Jones on the caller ID, a frown came to his face. After realizing they approached h

Or you did so without knowing what was said?” Dominic had rubbed his neck, wondering what could have been said. “There was a break… right?” “Ah, you’re hopeless.” Selene massaged her temples. “The verdict came the same day. Mr. Allen sentenced to thirty-seven years imprisonment. Mrs. Jones— Hey!” Dominic rushed out from her office to go read it himself.

Sweat beads filled her forehead and words couldn’t leave her mouth. She stammered out a sorry but got ignored. It had been a priceless moment for Dominic. Neon could break up with her from there, after all, his interest were on Selene, not her copycat. The case in court hadn’t been over yet. All that’s left was the court’s sentence over Mr. Allen and Mrs. Jones. Allen Company had been completely given to Brielle to save it. Dominic hadn’t heard from her since she ran out after her argument with Pamela’s argument, but it didn’t bother him.

Her pay may be sort of fair.” Neon added. “Huh?” Dominic raised a brow. “You are only supporting this because you like her, right?” Neon’s cheeks reddened. “What do you… yes?” “Like how long did she…” Dominic paused. Selene had been working for him for almost a year. Did she really take no other job apart from his own? He realized that they had been no cases trending that involved Case Closed for a year now. She totally focused on this one. The comments had cheered her comeback. Truly, for a year, she devoted it to his case. He looked at the expenses. They weren’t preposterous anymore. She was a big shot lawyer who stuck with him for a year. “

Dominic sat down too, placing Dorian on his laps. “You wanted to see me? I hope nothing happened in the family.” Not that he’d care but he just wanted to ask. Neon exhaled. “We are family members, you know?” Dominic nodded. Dorian turned to him questioningly. “He’s really my uncle? Another one?” Did Neon introduce himself as his uncle? The father nodded. “Yes, another one. Be happy that you have tons.” Dorian smiled widely. “I’m happy.” Neon smiled. “I didn’t think you’d have kids.” Why did he sound so familiar?

    Chapter Eighty-Six – ApologiesThe trial was in few days time. Selene became really hot stuff. Dominic sipped on the orange juice Dorian had given him. The comments were entertaining now. Mr. Allen had much more enemies than he knew. Many of them were in the comments engaging in comment sections battles with Mr. Allen deranged fans. Even Brielle’s fan boys were in the comments, only defending Mr. Allen because he hurt their ‘rival’ Young Master Dominic Thales. Dominic also noticed his fan girls replying Brielle’s fan boys. He smirked. The comment section was a really interesting place to be. It had lots of laughs too. There was a knock on his door and Dominic closed the laptop. He had little to do that day, he could even spend it entertaining himself with the comments. Someone entered his office and Dominic’s expression changed. “Norman?!” What was a brat like him doing at his office? The office door widened and Lucian walked in. “Daddy, he said he wanted to speak with yo

    Pretrial

    Chapter Eighty-Five – Pre-trialAll Selene’s charges were accepted by the court. The trends shot up when it was released that it was Case Closed that would be handling the case. It was also revealed that Case Closed’s father was killed by Mr. Allen though the reason wasn’t released. It really reduced Mr. Allen’s supporters because unlike the Thales Empire, Case Closed was like a national treasure. The fact made Dominic anxious again because after all was done, he’d have to pay Selene and her price could send him back to bankruptcy. Still, getting justice for his dead relatives would be worth anything. Today was the day of pre-trial. Dominic realized that was something else that made him anxious. Mrs. Jones had been arrested and kept in custody, she returned back to the country and got caught at the airport. A really good lawyer would represent Mr. Allen, he probably would suppress evidence and dismiss some charges. He would be going for a lighter sentence too. Dominic ru

It had been trending for the past two hours. The secret of Thales Empire’s fall. Dominic wasn’t really fond of that tag because to him, the empire hadn’t fallen but it could have. The young master had gotten numerous submissions of fan mails, especially those entitled fans who were asking him to give the full summary of what happened. Dominic was glad they bothered to know.Selene made the charges sound really heinous. Tadashi was charged with kidnap, manslaughter and torture of Lucas’ father and Mrs. Thales. The man would never get a light sentence especially as he was in a foreign country. Death was a probability for him. Mrs. Jones was charged with conspiracy, murder and attempted murder, law breaking, evading police, amongst other possible charges. Selene just kept them coming. Mr. Allen

Matt cried again as another pen was stabbed into his leg, he felt a thin line of blood stream down his legs. “Start talking.” Brielle ordered. She had to get useful information for Dominic today and now or she wouldn’t be able to face him when she would leave here. Matt cried bitterly. Why was a woman who liked treating him like an animal! All because of that wretched young master. He didn’t want to give up. “Milady, I love you!” A scowl came on Brielle’s face. What, in all the things she had said, translated to him giving her a love confession? Wasn’t he listening to her? She pulled out the first pen she stabbed in and Matt wailed again. She looked him dead in the eyes. “That’s my response, scum! You should learn to know your place!” Matt’s eyes brimmed with tears. It was no use. Then

It was only an example by Lucas anyway. Yet, this gave him lots of insights to what could be going on within the Society. He rubbed Lucas head and took out a hundred dollar bill. “This really helped so I’d pay for your services, Teacher Lucas.” His nephew’s eyes widened on seeing the bill, but he comported himself and replied. “Thank you and I hope you learnt a thing or two from my short lecture.” Dominic laughed as he returned to his study room. He should visit his hospital and make enquires. The more of these Society members he finds, the better evidence. Leaving the study later, he found no one in the living room. He looked at the wall. Brielle had drafted a timetable for the kids. By the side there was a calendar for those who followed the timetable exactly and the prizes involved. Dominic slightly
