"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
"Where do we go from here?" Rachel asked Sophia over the phone. "Time has been going and it just feels like we're doing nothing much to pursue this case. Besides, George is already aware of everything""Are you serious? When did he find out?" Sophia asked"I think it was yesterday""What did he say? What did he do?""He confronted me about it and yes, we argued a bit because I didn't reveal it to him on time. But after that, he promised to help me get justice for my father.""Hmm…can you trust him on that? Getting justice for your father means he has to go against his father, his family. All of this might even affect the company sales when it enters the news. I'm not really sure if he would want to ruin everything his family has worked for just to help you, but let's see…""You just said my mind. I was having exactly the same thoughts. Anyway, that aside, we need to hurry up with this. Especially now that George knows, he might end up confronting his father about this. And the moment
George stood still and stared at his mother and wife as they stared back at him. He huffed, taking in a big whiff of air through his mouth to prevent himself from crashing on the floor.Did he hear correctly? He wasn't sure. It must have been a mistake. He wanted to believe that it was but the look on their faces told him otherwise.Blinking away the angry tears trying to spill out from his eyes, he asked again in a low whisper "What did you just say? Did I hear correctly?"Patricia sighed and nodded. "Yes, it's true George. You heard everything correctly.""W—what?" George pressed his hand against his forehead, his breath coming out in short gasps. He couldn't believe his ears."I didn't plan to tell you this way, I wasn't really sure how you would react." Patricia answered "I recently discovered that Judith was the one behind your fire accident. She kept if for years, hoping that no-one would ever find out but she mistakenly spilled out the secret in an argument recently""Ugh…" Geo
Rachel squatted in front of George and she pushed his feet into his shoes. She was so happy to see him awake and finally back to normal. For some reason, she had been worried that his treatment wouldn't work but looking at him now, she was pleased with how everything turned out.George sat down quietly and watched as Rachel fixed his shoes and cufflinks. Was she acting kind to him just because she pitied him for this moment or because she really cared about him? He would never know…Personally, he didn't feel like seeing anybody. He just wanted to hide away for the rest of his life, so he never came in contact with the terrible people around him. That didn't make any sense at all at this moment but that was how he felt.Rachel rose to her feet and looked at him "You're all set now. Your mother must be waiting. How do you feel now?""I feel okay" He mumbled dryly "Resting for three days paid off"Rachel gazed at him for a moment. He seemed distant. She shook her head, pushing away the
