But when Emily talked, she sounded even more determined to get over with the matter, dragging things was never one of her hobbies“I get it Mr. Samuel but you do realize that Matt won’t be easy to deal with and therefore I will need a lot of legal advices from you. Is there anything that you require from me? May be fees or something else. “She asked.“There is nothing I require from you at all. Your grandmother had already settled my fees because she trusted that I was the only one who understood the company well and therefore I would be with you all the way. Don’t worry, if you need me you can contact me at any time. I will be available for you”“Emily was relieved” that is all she wanted to hearThe lawyer then opened his own safety box in the office and removed a set of keys. He handed it over to Emily and instructed” Go to the bank and open the safety box under your name, you will find everything that you need to know about your family, okay”With that he gave Emily the official
Matt was disgusted, he was the sole owner of the company since his mother died and what puzzled him was why there was someone claiming the ownership. But it would not be easy for him because he had already bought most of the directors, they owed him their loyalty.He cleared his voice and muttered” Director Tony, I think this matter is of insignificant value. As far as I am aware, I am the only rightful owner of this company and no one should claim any such. As long as I live I will never allow it.”Nina who was also sitting beside his father added” This Company belonged to my grandmother, may her soul rest in peace. I do hope that all of you will continue supporting my father no matter the circumstances. He has been good to all of you and I do believe that you will consider that in the future.”“Of course Nina, he has all our support okay” Director Chris added. “ I was so fond of old madam Martha and I wouldn’t let some stranger destroy what she loved with all her heart. I think you
“Emily you heard my father, you can just go, we will pretend that this discussion never took place.” Nina explained to her sternly. She thought that Emily would be shaken but she still held her ground and didn’t move an inch. Seeing this, she became furious. Her hand was aching to give her a hard slap on the face.However, Emily ignored her comment and started addressing the directors.“It is a pleasure to meet all of you here, I think it wouldn’t have been better. I have to inform you officially that I am the new owner of this company and from now onwards you would all be reporting to me.”She hesitated to hear their reactions, it wasn’t too long before director Tony stood up and said “look at yourself, you are just a little girl, do you even know how to run a company this big? Please we are serious people here and we don’t need your jocks”Emily looked at him straight in the face and replied” haven’t you seen my work? I am sorry but your views are baseless until you bring evidenc
They found Ruth waiting for them as usual, but Nina knew that she wasn’t going to like the bad news that they came back with. So they slowly came out of the car and quietly went to sit in the living room with the saddest faces ever.Ruth just knew it, by now she could tell what had happened , there was nothing more important than money that can cause her husband and daughter to become that sad ,so she asked” what happened? Did you lose the company again?“Yes, Emily took the company” Matt replied and then he stood up and walked to his study. He locked himself in the room then proceeded to search for his alcohol. It was the only consolation that he has now or he would go crazy thinking about what would become of their lives.Back at the living room he could hear his wife screaming but he could care less, he was done worrying about his family and this was as far as he could go.After they left everything was now calm and Emily sighed with a relief. He dispersed the meeting and then tha
“I am sorry, but I am not following you at all. May I ask who you are? And why do you know my name? Most importantly who the hell are you hiding from?”“Well I guess that I have to start explaining myself, I am Martha Davis friend and maid. I worked for her for so many years and I think I didn’t get a chance to meet with you because I remember Matt forbade you from coming in to her house.” The lady explained herself politely.Emily heaved a sigh of relief, she must be the maid that Grandmother Martha talked about before her death, but what she was wondering was what she wanted to tell her.“Of course I knew that she had a maid and I never got the chance to meet her. Tell me now, what brings you to my office?” Emily didn’t waste time but to ask the question she wanted so much to ask.The woman hesitated for a while before talking” have very bad news I want to tell you, I can’t keep quiet anymore. As you can see, I am old and who knows when the lord might call me to be with him.”Emily
Matt looked up abruptly and understood now. This was the reason why his mother begged him to show Emily some love, she told him that he will regret ever mistreating her.Matt cupped his head with shame while several thoughts going on in his mind” He should have listened to her but as always he was stubborn and unbearable.”If he would have taken her advice seriously, then may be Emily would have let him keep being the owner of the company which apparently belonged to his sister.Why the hell did his mother tell him such a huge secret? Mother you made me soil my hands with your blood. How could I have known that she was my own blood and flesh, I only knew that she was a fatherless child whom I did a favour to adopt?“Well there is nobody else in the house. So let us leave” the police said as they guided them to the waiting cars. Ruth was crying, she couldn’t even talk and Emily didn’t even spare her a glance. She despised her and she already guessed that she was the master mind of all
Richard cleared his voice and stated with authority” My wife is now the rightful owner of this Company and those who do not believe the fact should go and check at the registry offices.“As for her uncle’s crimes, she shouldn’t be questioned about that. You can as well follow him to the prison and ask them that. I think Matt Davis is the best person to answer that.”Emily watched in amazement as Richard answered all the questions with no much effort at all. It would have been a very difficult time for her was he not around.“Yes she had known for a while that Martha was her maternal grandmother and it hasn’t been easy for her. She had lived her whole life as an orphan.” Richard continued to answer the reporter’s hungry questions“About the company, does she have the skills to run it?” Another reporter asked all over a sudden.Yes” Richard muttered and looked at his wife with affection then he added” look out for big news coming soon. You will then get to know that she has very outstan
“Hello mommy I missed you, did you behave well? You know you are the biggest spoiled brat I know around. But please I am no longer I that bracket, I left it entirely for you. So keep on carrying the medal.”She laughed” you are so funny, son”“Toby, my son” his father too hugged him and patted him on the back.” What is new here? I want to know everything.”He guessed that he meant he wanted to know everything about his company which was going under the bridge .Ooh…daddy you have no idea what a mess you caused back then before disappearing “ he thought to himself.“Dad let us talk about that at home. I don’t feel comfortable talking about it here in the public” Toby said with courteous voice, he didn’t want his father to hear the bad news , not yet ,he needed to go home first.“Alright” his father said but deep inside he knew that there was something wrong. He was sure that he made the right decision by handing his whole life to that boy or was he wrong”When they reached home, his fa
