…..Then what would be the point of getting rid of Arthur Reeves years ago?…Of getting this company from Patricia by pretending to love her?…..Yes, I did it! I am the one behind George's accident. I don't regret my actions!Patricia was sure her heart beat stopped as those words echoed out of the laptop in front of her. Nanny Juliet had planted the recorder in Morris's library just as she had instructed. She decided this morning to finally listen to what was going on in his office and here she was, shaking in shock from what she just discovered.Patricia clutched her chest as the tears of anguish fell from her eyes. Where did she even start from? To think that Morris was the one behind Arthur Reeves jail term all along….What a monster!! An innocent man was thrown in jail for ten years. Ten whole years!! Just because of his jealousy and greed. Going so far to fabricate a lie against a man who just wanted to take care of his family! Morris destroyed Arthur's family, his livelihood, ev
"It's good to see you again, sir" Rachel lifted her hand to shake Mr Anderson's hand as they stood in the main library of the villa. "Please, have a seat""How have you been, Patricia?" He asked as he adjusted comfortably on a chair."I have been fine, thanks for asking" Rachel leaned closer "What brings you here?""Concerning our last conversation, I wanted to know how far you have gone with your investigation. Personally, I have noticed some strange things recently""Strange? That definitely got my attention" Rachel muttered and they both laughed. "What have you noticed?""Do you remember when I told you that there was someone I suspected in this company regarding your father's case?""Yes, I remember it clearly" Rachel nodded in approval."To be honest, the person I was talking about back then is Morris Scott"Rachel gasped, almost choking on her saliva. She was sure her heart missed a beat, she didn't expect him to say that. She already knew the truth but it was surprising to know
Rachel stood up and watched as Mr Anderson walked away from the library. She had felt so nervous talking to him, how could she open her mouth to tell him that she didn't know what to do from this moment? Wouldn't it make her look unserious?It was so strange to be involved in a case like this. In the movies, they made it look so easy — like all you had to do was just find the guilty person, open a court case, win the court case and take the person to jail. But in real life, it was completely different. Sometimes it worked just like the movies but sometimes, just like her own case, it was completely different.What do you do when you are worth almost nothing and you're going against someone who was in charge of a multibillion dollar company? What do you do when you are married to the son of that person and you're not sure if that person would choose to save his family instead of doing the right thing? Who would want to destroy their own family?It really didn't always work like the mov
"So, are you trying to say that this evidence I have is not enough to open a court case against him?" Sophia asked the middle-aged female lawyer sitting in front of her, a small round table between them.She cast a short glance around the large restaurant where she was. She had purposely picked a table towards the hidden part of the restaurant so she wouldn't easily be noticed. As she turned her eyes back to her lawyer friend, she took note of the two strange looking muscular men sitting about six tables away from her.She had noticed them ever since they walked in, it was almost like they had been following her, stalking her. Sophia wasn't sure yet but her guts told her she was on to something."That's not what I mean, Sophia" the lawyer answered "I have heard about Morris Scott and I know the type of person he is. I have an affiliation with another lawyer who has handled some law cases for his company. I can tell you one thing; he is a ruthless man, ready to fight for what he wants
Morris tried to focus his attention on the blinking laptop in front of him but it was not working. His mind kept on wandering over to the mission he had sent Raymond to handle.Did it turn out successful? Had he been able to get a hold of the detective lady? This was the only way he could gain total control of the situation. If he acted slow or made any mistake right now, he would pay for it. And if Raymond failed in this mission to capture Sophia, it would become harder to ever capture her. She would become more careful and observant.Morris released a long sigh of deep frustration and pressed a few buttons, shutting down his laptop. He needed some fresh air, the oxygen in his personal library suddenly didn't seem enough.Getting up from his chair, he started walking towards the door and just at the same time, Raymond stepped into his library, a worried expression etched on his face."Raymond…" Morris muttered, completely startled as he almost bumped into him. He stepped back and cas
Patricia grabbed her shawl from the chair and walked out of her bedroom. The sun was set high up in the sky, without looking at the time, you could tell it was mid-afternoon already. She still owed Rachel a heartfelt apology due to how she treated her the last time. This was a good time to see Rachel and talk about other things too.Pulling the main door of her villa open, she stepped out, heading towards the intersection that led to George's villa. The cold wind bit into her facial skin and she tugged at the shawl around her neck, wrapping it tighter.Just before she could walk over to the other side where George's villa was, Judith showed up, walking quickly till she stood at Patricia's front, obviously blocking her path. Patricia averted her gaze, acting like she didn't see what Judith was trying to do, she moved away from Judith's front and stepped aside to keep walking but Judith blocked her path again.Patricia clenched her jaw tight and closed her eyes briefly. Seeing this evil
Morris rose up from his chair and stared at Patricia who stood quietly with an unreadable expression on her face."What are you trying to say?" He asked, hoping he was just overthinking and she didn't really mean anything she just said.Patricia scoffed "Are you trying to check if I really know what I'm saying or if I'm just pulling your legs? You want to dig deeper, right?"Morris looked away and muttered, getting irritated. "If you don't have anything important to say, you can leave. Don't mess with my plans for today, I have a lot on my plate…""You finally got what you wanted, right? My company? You must be so proud of yourself, Morris Scott" Raymond, who had been standing still all this time, glanced at her for a moment before looking away.Morris chuckled and waved her off "You can't be serious. What are you talking about?"Patricia paced slowly in front of where Morris stood, both of her hands resting behind her back. "You see, the more I think about it, your plan so far has
George reclined on a chair and watched as Tony settled on another chair. Tony quickly opened a briefcase he held and pulled out some documents, sorting through them.Tony sighed "I didn't expect that it would take this long to finally come around. I'm really sorry about that. Your father suddenly sent me on a two week business trip to sort out some issues in the company…""I heard about it. Anyway, you are here now. That's all that matters.""During my stay overseas, I was able to compile all the information in one place regarding Arthur Reeves case a—""Wait a minute. I remember you said that there was a reason why Rachel was acting weird to me. Well, she is still acting strange but I want to know what you meant when you said that." George saidTony grabbed the stack of papers on his lap and passed it to George "The answer you need is in that document. I am shocked by everything, honestly…""Shocked by what?" George grabbed the document and flipped it open, skimming each page careful
