Blake had looked at his friend’s body when he shook his hand and found that he was a good candidate to start training his body with authentic martial arts, not the watered-down version that the military trained.“Here is a breathing exercise and skilled moves to get you started. We have only a month to get you into better shape, and you need to stop drinking, which hinders your flow for the time being.” Blake explained and handed him a booklet that he had prepared beforehand. He would utilize the information given to him from the inheritance and begin to copy them on paper.Dean left the office, leaving Mr. Wheaton still dazed by what he had witnessed.“Is there something that you want to say?” Blake asked Mr. Wheaton.“Young Master, how could you transfigure this power, and could you train many in this skill?” Mr.Wheaton asked.“Yes, why? Do you want to learn this power as well?”“I dare not. I’m too old, and I believe my time has sailed, but my only son has a daughter Kelly Wheaton.
George stayed silent for a while and then described what had happened that night. He let her know about Anderson’s outrageous demands for the marriage and why he had to have her get married the next day to Blake. Tabitha then sat there and pondered the news with shock and then anger.“That’s outrageous, but grandfather, do you know she still harbors feelings for this Steve Anderson?”“Sigh, yes, I was hoping that these three years with Blake would spark love between them. If not, at least an understanding of marriage. Who knew how stubborn your sister is.”Tabitha stayed silent, knowing all Blake’s troubles in the past, and was very melancholy.“Ask him if all this could be related,” Tabby asked Tabitha in her mind.“What do you mean?” Tabitha asked her sister.“It’s unusual that the Anderson family would want all those shares for a betrothal gift and put Dynasty Entertainment in a dire situation.”“Grandfather, could all this be related?” Tabitha finally asked, looking into her grand
“Don’t you fret? We’ll follow the evidence and bring the culprit to justice. You take care and let us do our jobs.” John said, and they both followed Jill out, leaving Joan with a worried look and a foreboding feeling that something terrible was about to happen.The three went into the police car and headed towards Express Delivery to chat with Blake.“Are you two okay in handling this case? You may be too close to the victim.” Jill asked the two officers in the front of the car from the back seat.“You only arrived in the police force. We have handled many cases like this, and rest assured, we can handle it. Regardless of who the person is.” John said, looking at the traffic as he drove.Blake decided to arrive at Express Delivery to guide the female designer on the design of the company’s sign and wait for the power station installation for his vans.“What do you think of these designs for our new sign?” Blake asked Sara, who was by his side while still looking at the design that th
The hits were like soft clouds upon Blake’s face with his body tempering, and the punch didn’t even leave a mark. This surprised John, who was placing great force on that last punch, and any other person would have at least shown discomfort from his punch.“I’ll tell you what I believe happened,” Peter said as he looked upon Blake’s uncaring expression.“Please, do tell.”“You got in touch with someone in the underground through the Syndicate and pressured Fredrik into the sale of the Elon Delivery Service. You confronted him and stole the business from him. Fredrik then found out about the deceit and threatened you, and you had him killed. How’s that for an idea?” Peter said.“Bravo, if I could clap, I would. It’s quite the imagination you have there. Maybe you could start a web novel for your imaginative talent.” Blake mocked the officer.SLAP“Confess!” John yelled, getting more agitated over Blake’s lack of emotions.SLAP“Confess, dam you!”SLAP“If you don’t confess, I’ll never
Claire was ecstatic that the investment would happen but was shocked by the following news Mr. Wheaton relayed to her.“But the amount you are proposing is too little. If that is satisfactory, we offer to invest one hundred million in Dynamic Entertainment, with only one condition.”“Yes, yes, but what is the condition?”“We only would like to do a periodic audit on the accounting books in Dynamic Entertainment to make sure that we know where the investment is being spent.”“Mr. Wheaton, in the presentation, it clearly lays out the financial statements and marketing layout of your investment. If you want, I could replay the graphs and charts again.” Claire said, trying to appease Mr. Wheaton.“Miss. Dalton’s presentation did lay out the budgeting and financial statement quite thoroughly, but I trust my team, and being it’s a surmountable amount, I trust you could understand our concerns.”This was Blake’s only specification in the deal. When he did the soul search, he had already seen
Henry then looked up at Mr. Sleizer with hatred in his eyes.“You did what?”“Sorry, Mr. Weston, but I received orders from Miss. Kingsley, to hand over the presentation for Global.” Mr. Sleizer quickly replied, knowing that Miss. Kingsley was Henry’s Ackelis heel. As one of the board of directors that would benefit from Global, he couldn’t disobey Miss. Kingsley.When Henry heard that his girlfriend asked for the presentation, his anger cooled down.“I see. Get on with your duties, and don’t let anyone know what transpired today.”Mr. Sleizer then left the office, wiping his brow as he left.Henry looked perplexed when he heard that Samantha had changed the plan he and she had come up with earlier this morning. He was supposed to go up to the board, retrieve the presentation, and deliver it under Claire’s name to Mr. Wheaton tomorrow and be the company’s hero, but now he was left to the sidelines. This change didn’t bold too well for him, so he called Samantha.“Hello? Huh, huh.”“De
After Tabitha visited with her grandfather, she returned home and realized that her mother hadn’t returned. Calling a few times to her mother, she made a call to Claire.“Hello?” Claire answered from her car.“Sis, have you been in touch with mom?” Tabitha asked with a worried tone in her voice.“No, I just got out from an essential interview. Why? Isn’t she at home?”“No. Does she usually stay away this long? I tried to call, but I didn’t get through.”“This is not like her. She usually comes home after she visits her friends. If I can’t get in touch, I’ll call her friends when I get home; maybe her phone is not charged.” Claire replied, feeling worried about her mother.“I hope that is the case. I’ll feel terrible if she’s in trouble; how soon are you coming home?” Tabitha asked, seeing the time was close to off-hour.“I’ll arrive in a while, and we can call her friends to find her. I’m sure she’s fine.” Claire replied as she got onto the highway, making her way home.“Okay, bye.” T
“Congratulations on the investment. I knew you could achieve it, and I had no doubt whatsoever.” Blake boasted with a great smile. “Let’s go out and celebrate.”“How could you!” Claire yelled and ran into her room, upset.“What did I say, and why did Claire come home early?” Blake asked.“It’s mom. She’s missing, and she hadn’t come home since yesterday, and we can’t get in touch.” Tabitha said, getting off of the couch and looking sad.Claire then rushed back out of the room, looking flustered.“The card, the card is missing!”“Card, what card?” Tabitha asked, surprised by Claire’s abrupt entrance.“The three million dollar card that Blake gave me. After I calmed down and looked for the card, I was suspicious, but it wasn’t where I placed it.” Claire explained.Blake and Tabitha looked at each other and knew what had happened with a knowing nod. Julie had taken the card and left, and no wonder she had been ignoring their calls. They figured she had been caught with the missing card a
