That was the first time Yaacob and Dorothy met in private, even though they had met at certain political events.However, this did not prevent Yaacob from getting straight to the point."Mrs. Melton, I was told that you took my family. Where are they?" asked Yaacob.When Dorothy heard this, she looked confused and raised her eyebrows as she replied, "Sorry, Mr. Getson, but I don't know what you are talking about."Yaacob slammed his coffee mug on the table, spilling some coffee. "My partner and my child have been missing for nearly twenty-four hours. If you so much as harm a hair on them, I won't be responsible for my actions.""Mr. Getson, now I'm really confused. I heard that you called off the engagement with the President's daughter just recently and now you're saying you are with another woman? Who could that be?" quipped Dorothy.The Brownings never had any dealings with Yaacob previously. Having a strong military background, the Brownings never liked businessmen such as Ya

A week had passed since. Nancy brought a bowl of chicken soup for Benson. He quickly took over the bowl when Nancy sat beside his hospital bed."Please let me do it myself." Benson was still weak from his injuries, but he was able to take care of himself.Besides, he did not like to appear too weak to Nancy. He was the man of the family, after all.Benson always hoped that he could be the protector of his family and offer them a sense of security.Even though he rushed in, intending to rescue his wife and daughter, he ended up being hospitalized for the past week. That made Nancy and Celica anxious about him.Having been married for three years, Nancy could tell what Benson was thinking by observing his expression."Benson, I really wasn't sure that you could find us that night. You made it in time to open the door. Otherwise, Celica and I would never be able to make it out alive from that fire," Nancy comforted him.Hearing this, Benson sighed and said, "But I ended up holding

Nancy managed to persuade Yaacob to go to the hospital.Yaacob decided to head home en route to the hospital to get the gift for Celica. After all, one had to keep the promise made to his child.When they reached the hospital, Nancy brought Celica to Benson's ward and accompanied Yaacob to have his injuries treated.She had no choice but to stick around because Yaacob would refuse treatment if she were not around.At ten, Nancy received a text from Benson telling her that he had put Celica to bed and she did not have to worry about them.Perhaps Benson did not mind Nancy keeping Yaacob company because he felt he was responsible for Yaacob's injuries.As Nancy placed her phone down, she stared at the doctor in a quandary as he dressed up the wounds.The doctor said that the injuries could go either way since Yaacob refused to get proper treatment during the early stage. He thought it would be best if Yaacob could be admitted to the hospital for at least a month.However, Yaacob

"Yaacob handed over more than a third of the Getson Corporation's shares to Dorothy. Considering their current value, how much would that amount to?" continued Yvonne.Yvonne was just a celebrity. She could not fathom the exact amount, nor did she want to know."So, now do you know why he's been in frequent contact with Keating recently? Now that Yaacob is no longer the major shareholder, he's unable to be the one calling the shots. What he did was equivalent to handing a knife to his opponent so they could take a stab at him any time they pleased. If the Keatings and Brownings form an allegiance right now, that would make matters even worse as they would be in a position to overtake the Corporation. So I think Yaacob is making a concession by re-establishing his ties with President Keating." Since when did Yaacob ever make a concession? That meant he had given away all that he had accomplished in the past three years!The Yaacob Nancy had known was very intelligent, calculative, an

Nancy might be older than Lynn by a few years, but she was far from being considered as old.Ironically, just moments after the taunting died down, about five guys came over to talk to Nancy and asked for her phone number.Lynn and her entourage had been sitting around for hours, and not a single guy had approached them.It was obvious that the most beautiful person would always be the center of attention in any club."Shit, you bitch! Your husband doesn't care about you, huh? If not, he wouldn't have let you come to the club dressed like a slut." Lynn glanced at Nancy disdainfully.Nancy looked down at her outfit and felt nothing was out of place. It was a rather chilly day, so she wore a long overcoat. She removed her coat only after she had entered the club, revealing a V-neck cashmere dress.Nancy sincerely felt that was nothing out of the ordinary. She was amused by the irony; Lynn wanted to build herself up as being young and trendy while criticizing her from a moral standp
