Rick's Dilemma Chapter 101
The next day, Lois went to the bank to withdraw the cash for the meeting later that afternoon. She placed the money in her handbag and left the bank. After having lunch at a nearby cafe, she headed over to the location that Owen Gates had texted to her. Lois was both excited and nervous at the same time. She was excited to put her scheme into motion, but nervous that something might go wrong. How would she ever explain all of this to her daughter if Debbie ever got wind of her plans? Lois put these thoughts aside and pressed on. She was to meet Mr. Gates and his hired gun at an abandoned warehouse on the outshirts of town. Fing City had an old warehouse district that had fallen into disrepair over the years. Since the new industial park had opened across town, this district had been unused for a long time. As she parked her car next to two other vehicles on the side of an old building, she neglected to notice them. Had she done so, she may have remembered the SUV that belonged

The plan was to leave Lois in the cell for a few days to reflect on her wrong doings. Then she would be confronted by Rick and Debbie together. Rick had made the suggestion to Debbie that her mother should be sent back to Jelang to live in Alice's old house. They could have a guard stationed close by to make sure that she didn't leave the village without permission. They would provide basic needs, but no luxuries. After a day to think about it, Debbie finally agreed. "Rick, I know that what my mother did was unforgivable. Are you sure that this will be punishment enough for her sins?" Rick replied "I can not think of a worse punishment for your mother than for her to return to her village in disgrace. The family will surely ridicule her no end. It will be a living hell for a woman like her. Are you ok with that? I want you to be at ease these next few months. You are going to have three babies soon! It will be stressful enough without you worrying about your mother." Debbie had

Her days in the cell had put Lois in a reflective mood. She at first was mad that she had been caught. Lois never would have suspected that Owen Gates would betray her in this way. Now, all she had to look forward to was her daughter's disappointment and Rick's looks of disdain. She realised that she would never have the life that she firmly believed she deserved. At this time, five days had past, and no one had been to talk to her. Lois had only her guards to talk to, and they were not very talkative. She was fed three meals a day, and she had water available at any time. There were personal hygiene facilities in the cell, although she had very little privacy. All in all, she was miserable, more so than she had ever been in her life. That afternoon, Lois was lead out of her cell and taken to a conferencee room. She was placed in a chair, and was flanked on either side by a guard. After a few minutes, the door opened and Debbie and Rick walked in and sat down directly across f

Lois was frustrated once again. How could she go back to Jelang and hold her head up in front of her family? This was a humiliating exile orchestrated by her impudent son-in-law, meant to embarrass her. She would refuse to go! What could they do if she wouldn't cooperate? Lois scowled at Rick and said "What if I refuse to go back to that hell hole? What can you do to me then?" Rick replied "As I have just said, then you will be turned over to the police for prosecution. Pure and simple. One way or the other, you will be punished for what you have done. Your actions are of a crimial nature. We are trying to keep you out of jail. But, in the end, it is up to you." "So when do I have to leave?" Lois was downcast at the thought of the different options. She definitely did not want to go to jail, but returning to Jelang was no better choice either. "If you decide to return to Jelang, you will leave today. If you do not want to go there, then you will be placed under arrest

Debbie and Rick had prepared gifts for her grandparents. An exceptionally good tea, with an antique jade tea set was presented to Old Madame Thomas. She was overwhelmed with such a gift. It was the most luxurious thing that she had ever been gifted. After the last time that her grandaughter was here and how things were left, she did not expect Debbie or Rick to ever come back to Jelang. For Old Man Thomas, Rick handed him an old jade and ivory set of mahjong tiles. They were inlayed with real gold characters and of exceptional quality. Old Man Thomas loved his time spent with friends playing mahjong, so Rick thought that this was an appropriate gift. The Old Man was stunned. He had never seen such an exquisite set before. Rick got to the point of their visit without any preamble. As they sat in the living room, the servants had already served tea to everyone and left. So it was time to explain about Lois. "Grandfather and Grandmother, why we have come here today has to do

Alice was glad to be back in Fing City at Ting Gap. She had missed Li Fan the whole time that she was gone. The trip made her realise just how much Li Fan meant to her. When she arrived, Li Fan came out to meet them. He looked over at Alice as she got out of the car and suddenly broke out into a huge grin. It seemed that he felt the same as Alice did. After settling everyone, Li Fan asked Alice to accompany him out to dinner, as it was his night off. He had a special surprise for her. He had reserved a table at an upscale restaurant downtown just for the occasion. When the pair got to the venue, they were seated at a secluded table away from most every one else in the restaurant. As dessert was served, Li Fan reached out his hand to gently hold Alice's hand in his. He looked into her eyes and said "Alice dear, you know how I feel about you. So I have a question for you. Will you be my wife?" Alice was stunned. She had hoped that one day they would be wed, but neither of the

Back in Jelang, Lois stayed in the house and didn't open the door for anyone. The first day that she was back, Lois had gone over to her parents house to let them know that she was back for good. "Hello Mom, Dad! I have decided to move back here for the time being. Alice has let me use her house. I hope that we can see more of each other now." Old Man Thomas stared at her in disgust. "What do you mean that you "decided" to move back? We know what you were planning back in Fing City. Rick and Debbie came to see us already. They told us the whole sordid story. We did not raise such a daughter as you! Who do you think you are? How could you plan to kill your own daughter's husband and the father of your grandchildren? You disgusting worm. The best thing for you right now is to stay inside that house and do not show your face for a while. After the rest of the family finds out what you have done, they will be livid. I'm afraid that they will be merciless in their ridicule of you. To wh

The next event was going to be the reunion for Debbie's class. It was to be hosted by Debbie and her friend Christina. It was just a few days away. In the mean time, Debbie and Alice still had to prepare for the wedding ceremony. Chef Matthew had agreed to do the catering once again. This time, he was honored to do it for his new friends Li Fan and Alice. He, like everyone else in the villa, thought that they were a perfect match. Several things were going to be a bit easier since the two events were so close together. The tent could be used for both events, as well as the waiters and kitchen help would be hired to service both. Debbie and Rick had decided to throw the wedding and cover all of the expences as part of their wedding gift to the couple. It was going to be quite a grand affair. Invitations had gone out to all of Alice's family as well as those of Li Fan. They were expecting around one hundred and fifty people if everyone showed up. Even Old Man Thomas and his wife were

It was a sad day for Rick. Today, he was to bury his beloved mentor, Old Wilson. Old Wilson had been frail, and his health had declined slowly. If someone didn't see him every day, they would notice a vast difference . But since Rick would go down to see his old friend regularly, he did not realise just how bad Old Wilson had gotten. It was on such a visit that Rick found Old Wilson sitting in his favorite chair out in his back garden. At first Rick just thought he was asleep, as Old Wilson would nap out there almost every day. But after sitting down beside him, Rick finally realised that Old Wilson had passed on. It broke Rick's heart. Old Wilson had left instructions as to what he wanted done after his death. He asked that Rick bury him next to Ruth, his wife, and their son, Christopher. It was out in the countryside, north of Fing City. Rick had made all of the arrangements, and that morning, he and Debbie headed out. He had made the announcement of Old Wilson's death to the com

After the kidney transplant, Debbie's health improved tremendously. She had regained her strength and stamina to the point that she was able to resume her duties at RBG LLC. Over the years, she had expanded offices in all of the major cities in the south. Every big company clamoured to have RBG LLC handle their accounting needs. It became a status symbol to have Debbie work for them. After such a huge expansion, Debbie and Rick had set their sights in a more global presence. So they started with Cairo, Eygpt. Since Anita had done such a good job organising that pharmaceutical office years ago, it had become the premier branch of RBG Pharmaceuticals. So it was a natural place to start the global expansion of RBG LLC. Rick and Debbie spent several months in Cairo setting up the branch, and even acquired a residence in Eygpt. It was an expansive villa right on the banks of the river Nile. Larry had designed it to reflect the location and local culture. The villa was named 'Alhudu

As time flew by, Lois had been in Jelang and had been doing very well with her shop 'Second Chance'. The local population had, for the most part, forgotten about her sordid past. She was a valued member of the business community. Last yesr, she had been nominated to run for the local Chamber of Commerce Chairman. She was of course flattered to be nominated, but was very surprised when she actually won the position. It was the peak of her life to have been given this post. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever imagine that she would reach such a height in her life. Even though it was just in a small village such as Jelang, the fact that she was overwhelmingly the popular choice humbled her even more. Rick and Debbie both were just so proud of Lois, and even came to her investiture ceremony, along with all of the rest of the Thomas family. Howard had really been putting his all into the Thomas Shelter. Along the way, he met a very nice lady, who had come in for an interview fo

The day dragged on as George frantically looked for his missing man. Since the man had no pockets, he didn't have his cell phone on him. So he could not call the general to tell him what was going on. He had all of his contact numbers in his phone, so he had not bothered to memorize any of them. After a long afternoon of being interrogated by the police, they at last let him make a call. He decided to call the resort, and if nothing else, he could leave a message for his boss. After this was done, the jailer put the man in a cell to wait for further instructions from the police Chief in charge. George finally went to the front desk to ask the desk clerk where the nearest police station was, thinking that it was a place to start looking, and to file a missing person's report. The desk clerk then remembered to give him the message that had come in for him, and it just so happened to be from his missing man. George went and sought out Matthew and Rick to accompany him to the p

After ensuring Su Ma had everything that she needed, the group left to return to the yacht. They were to spend the next few days at sea. Everyone was back on board, then they set off for their next port of call, Manilla, Philippines. It was an exotic port, and nothing like anything any of the group had experienced before. They had a wonderful time seeing all of the sights. Then they set sail for Singapore, Malaysia. This trip was a smorgasbord of many different cultures and sights, not to mention landscapes. Singapore was a bustling city, full of high end shopping centers with branded stores, as well as the local cultural sights. Museums, art galleries and the like. The kids especially liked the Singapore Zoo. It was filled with all of the animals that they had studied in school. The adults were partial to the Singapore Botanical Gardens and the National Orchid Garden. They all enjoyed the trip to China Town. It was a taste of home for them, but in a different way. There was really

The years had flown by. The Greens had expanded their businesses in every direction. The most profitable were the ocean shipping company and the pharmaceuticals. Medical supplies was running a close third. Rick was planning a big suprise for the kids' ninth and tenth birthdays next month. They had grown so much, and still all of them got along so well with each other. Li Fan had gone on to be a managing director of one of Rick's local offices, and he was proud of his work. His son, Ricky, was looking more and more like him every day. Alice was a very good mother. Ricky had grown up with the Green children, and seemed more like one of the siblings, rather than just a cousin. George and Anita's daughter Leah was also part of the "tribe". Since George paid close attention to the security of Ting Gap, Leah had grown up in the house as well. It was an exclusive daycare that Rick and Debbie were proud to provide for the two kids. All of the Green kids were very protective of them

General Han gathered all of the evidence that he had collected and called his friend at the police station. They sent the fraud investigation team over right away to go over the documents. They agreed with George that this was an embezzlement case, cut and dried. After informing Debbie and Rick of their findings, Debbie called a meeting of those involved. The head of personel walked into the conference room, stopped dead in his tracks and turned to flee. He was stopped by the security guards at the door. He was made to sit down and shut his mouth. Next, the other two culprits walked in together, chatting with each other. They sat down across from the upper managment team and waited. George introduced everyone. "Mr. Waits is the head of personel, this is Mr. Floyd, head of accounting, and that is Mr. Grooms, the managing director. Gentlemen, this is Mrs. Green, CEO of RBG LLC. The man next to her is Mr. Green, Chairman and owner of the RBG Group. Then we have Mr. Moore, Vice Pr

The crowd outside the venue were so excited to see their favorite stars and public officals as they arrived at the gala. The men dressed in tuxedos and the beautiful gowns that the women wore were worth standing in the night air to see. All of the attendees made use of a step-and-repeat banner set up for press photos. These glamour shots would been seen all over the media in the coming days. But the most stunning had been Debbie in all of her finery. Her jewels shone like the stars in the heavens. They cast a glow around her like nothing else could. The evening was filled with surprises, and a lot of money was raised for the Green Children's Foundation. Brandon was thrilled with both the turnout and the donations total. It had been a very successful night. The day after the gala, everybody at the Green villa slept in late. They only got up in time for a scumptous brunch prepared by Chef Matthew. It was well worth dragging themselves out of bed for. Then everyone started to get
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 324
Once again, the Thomas family came together for a family weekend. The highlight of the weekend was of course the gala for the Green Children's Foundation. Since Jonathan and Betty lived in Beijing, they were to be included in all of the festivities as well. Rick and Debbie loved having their family around them, and this weekend was no exception. Rick and Debbie's Beijing villa was not as big as Ting Gap, but no less opulent. After all, Larry had done the design work and supervised the work himself. It was large enough to hold most everyone coming from out of town. Lois, Rebecca, the Old Thomas', Howard, Heyward and his wife , Aunt Alice and Li Fan and of course Matthew and Brandon. So the Green mansion was full to the brim. Matthew decided to cook on the first night of the gathering. Dinner on that Friday night was a master piece of culinary delights. Matthew rarely got to indulge himself in the kitchen of late, so he went all out to prepare a meal fit for a royal banquet. His dish
