“That’s not happening. I need to be in the meeting room with you. I have to set the record straight.” “Quit it.” The man raised his hand and stopped Mona by physically blocking her access to the COC meeting room. The sly foxes could be a handful. As a man, Thaddeus could not allow his woman to walk right into danger. “I’m not fooling around.” While no one was looking, Mona bent over, snuck from under Thaddeus’s arm, and bravely moved ahead. For a woman to barge into the meeting room, the room full of oldies was stunned. Their full attention was on Mona. Mona was getting cold feet as she never put herself in such a situation. Drawing a deep breath, she quickly pulled herself together. She glanced at the imposing old folks of the four influential families and calmly uttered, “I am the cause of the coastal lockdown, so I should be here. The responsibility for whatever consequences should not only fall on Thaddeus’s shoulders, but mine as well.” Dumbstruck, the group of old

Once the few elders had their chance in reading the file on the vessel, Thaddeus began to state the facts. “The vessel’s port of origin was Neuffield, and 80% of its personnel on board is local to Neuffield. According to them, the vessel belongs to Oceania Travel Management Ltd. “The travel company is owned by the richest family in Neuffield – the Fosters. “I’m sure everybody is familiar with Neuffield’s Fosters. James Foster built his empire in Neuffield from the ground up. “The vessel’s primary use is to transport passengers to holiday destinations, but on the day of my wife’s abduction, it carried cargo in the opposite direction of its usual route. Instead of setting course for the Atlantic, it headed toward Southeast Asia. “It proves that it was a last-minute change to the vessel’s route, and the motive was an abduction.“The decision-making had to be at the management level of the Foster Group. In other words, someone high up the senior ladder in the Foster Group planne
Clingy Love Chapter 287
Victor turned his head to Master Fontaine and said, “Grandpa, as one of the kidnapped victims, I have something to say.” “What’s on your mind? Come and take a seat.” Master Fontaine pulled Victor over and sat him down on his seat. Victor smiled fakely as a ruthless resolution streaked across his pale face. He looked around the room and said, “My honorable elders, you might not know, but there’s more to the kidnapping. As a victim, I have a full picture of what’s going on, and it’s not as simple as my uncle put it out to be.” “Well, don’t keep us guessing, Victor. What’s the story?” Thaddeus curtly interrupted Victor, not believing for a second that the boy was not here to give his testimony. He got the feeling the boy came looking for trouble, and a big one by the looks of it. Victor curled his lips and smirked. “Why are you getting riled up, Uncle? I’m only speaking the truth. Why are you nervous when you’ve done nothing wrong?” Adopting a snippy demeanor, Thaddeus l
Clingy Love Chapter 288
There was no longer a solid tenderness in Thaddeus’s eyes. Instead, cautiousness and indistinct concern hid behind those pupils. What was he afraid of? Mona looked into his eyes, getting the sense that he was hiding something from her. He was afraid that what they had would be gone when the truth came out. In other words, there was some truth to Victor’s words.Victor got up from the ground and adjusted his tie. He pointed at Thaddeus and righteously uttered, “He was bitter about his father’s affair, so he tried to get rid of Mona. I would secure holdings in the family business from my marriage alliance with the Grahams and earn a spot on the board of directors, so his concern was that I would be a threat to his standing. That’s the truth behind my uncle’s motives.”Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and scoffed. “That’s absurd. Why would I put the coast on lockdown if I were out to get you? The vessel belongs to the Fosters. I don’t have the right to decide the sailing route. How do y
Clingy Love Chapter 289
Victor took the beating from Master Fontaine without protest. Master Fontaine was poor in health, and it would fall on Victor’s shoulders if anything were to happen to the old man due to Victor’s choice of words. He held his tongue and said nothing more. Standing in the middle of the meeting room, Thaddeus narrowed his dashing eyes at the nosy old folks. The tension surrounding Thaddeus seemed to intensify in the air. “Have you seen enough?”Thaddeus’s gaze fleeted across each and every one of the sly old foxes, sending chills down their spine. It was as if a sword was hanging over their heads.Filled with fear, the old folks said their goodbyes and left before Thaddeus unleashed his fury on them. With them gone, the circle was finally over. Nevertheless, Thaddeus and Victor’s relationship had moved in an opposing direction. Things would not be an easy fix. In fact, the situation could not get any more complicated with Mona’s mother now involved. The subject had always

Master Fontaine’s eyes lit up. Since it came from Mona, it must be true. So he took it seriously this time. The old man lost his head to bliss, not knowing what to say. “It’s true… It’s true… The kids will carry on the family line.”“B*stard! I want to hear it from you. Are the children Mona’s and yours?” Still doubtful, Master Fontaine turned to Thaddeus for confirmation. “Yes.” Thaddeus nodded his head. The definite answer brought Master Fontaine back to reality from the burst of joy. God knew what was going through the old man’s head as he kept switching between sitting and standing. It then struck Master Fontaine to ask where the children were. “I want to see them.” “They have been living in Worchester City. I have not brought them to meet you yet because the kids have not learned about their ancestry. I was worried you would not be able to accept them.” “Why wouldn’t I accept them? I love kids. Bring them over as soon as you can. I want to meet with them. They are
Clingy Love Chapter 291
With a benevolent smile, Master Fontaine stroked Mona’s head and gleefully uttered, “Mona, since you and Thaddeus have kids together, have you given any thought to getting back together?” Mona shook her head without a second thought. “No.” How could they possibly get back together? The issue with Mona’s mother had not been sorted out yet. How could the relationship carry on when the man would not even communicate with her? Mona never trusted a relationship that had nothing to hold onto. It was the tackiest and most unreliable form of connection. Seeing that Mona had made up her mind, Master Fontaine found it a shame and glared at Thaddeus. The boy was such a letdown. Thaddeus only had himself to blame for losing a great wife like Mona. Things were going fine, but Thaddeus had to be caught up in the past and tracked down Mona’s mother. What on earth was Thaddeus up to? Most of the time, Master Fontaine could not understand what was going on in his grandson’s mind. However, T

Mona shook her head. “See. That’s the difference between him and me. He thinks he’s protecting me from harm, but I don’t get an open and honest relationship. We can’t get through to each other or get on the same page. How are we supposed to spend the rest of our lives together?“The past conflict is not what’s standing between us. It is because our approach toward the relationship never changed. I don’t think getting back together is in the cards.” Mona kept her head straight and made a conscious decision about the relationship. For a moment, she believed they were more than that, but who was she kidding? She would be repeating the same mistake by getting back together. Mona was better off living a carefree life as she did right now. Master Fontaine could understand where Mona was coming from, and he was furious. “Sigh. That character of Thaddeus’s… Sometimes, I just want to give him a good beating. You have no idea how many times he has gotten under my skin in a day. You spen
