Rick's Dilemma Chapter 151
After that dinner, things between Betty and Rick really did improve. He finally understood some of what happened back in his youth, and no longer resented his parents. He knew all too well what his grandmother was like, as well as his greedy self serving uncles. So he quickly warmed to his mother for the first time in his life. He had never known what it was like to have a real mother, but now he felt that he had one. And she was overjoyed to have Rick back in her life. They had bonded so well so fast. The move to Beijing did seem to put a wrench in matters, but Rick and Debbie would be coming several times a year, so Betty could deal with that. Debbie was busy these days getting ready to expand the business once again. She called upon Old Wilson to help her find a new General Manager for the Fing City office, as well as one for the Tang office. It seemed like a never ending cycle of hiring and moving. Larry Watters became a frequent visitor to the office with blueprints and design

The gang of thugs were shaking so hard, that the general's men were having a hard time holding on to them. General Han looked at Robert and asked again "So what is your choice?" Robert looked down and said "We will be leaving now." He started to walk away, but the general grabbed him by the collar. "You can leave when I say you can." With that, he turned the guy upside down and started to go through his pockets. The general took all the money Robert had, and told his men to do the same with the thugs in their grasps. After the thugs were completely cleaned out, the general said "Now you lot can scam! And don't let us see your ugly faces on this street ever again!" The gang took off at once, scattering in all directions to get away as fast as possible. The general and his men were laughing so hard at the sight! At this time, Old Wilson walked out of the tea house to join his associates. "General Han! You handled that perfectly!" "Thank you! It was a piece of cake

To keep the ruse going a little longer, Rick was telling his mother that they were looking for a house for when he and Debbie came to Beijing. When they arrived at the villa, Rick took out the keys and showed everyone inside. They toured the property inside and out. "Mother, what do you think of this place?" Rick had a very serious look on his face, but it was all he could do to hold in the smiles he felt. Betty was impressed with the place. "Oh, I think with a proper redecorating, it would be a very comfortable home. It has everything that one could ask for." With that, Rick stretched out his hand to her and said "Mother, Jonathan. Congratulations on your wedding. Please accept this home as your wedding gift from us to you both." As he placed the keys in her hand, his mother was flabbergasted. This was going to be her new home? She flung her arms around Rick's neck and with tears streaming down her face she squeaked out "Oh Rick! You and Debbie have really made my life

Old Wilson was doing much better the next day. He almost felt embarrassed to have been in such a state. He was in a state of denial. He, like soo many before him, thought that since his mind was still sharp, that his body was too. As many have found out as well, this is not always the case. The mind can be as sharp as a tack, but the body can be feeling the ravages of age. Old Wilson was just that, old. He was past seventy now, so it was natural for his body to be weakening. This just didn't sit well with him at all. The doctors had advised him to find a good cardiologist back in Fing City once he returned home. They said that a complete workup of his condition was in order, but could wait til he was home. He would be there a few more days in the hospital, just so they could monitor his progress. Old Wilson knew that he was mentally strong enough for the tasks that Rick set him on. He felt betrayed by his own body. It had let him down when he needed it the most. How was he going t

The opening of the branch office in Tang had been completed. Business was brisk from the start. The Beijing branch would open in a week. Jonathan and Betty had already moved into their new home, and everything was perfect. Rick and Debbie had little time these days to spend with their boys. Rick was a bit disturbed by this. As was Debbie. Rick said to Debbie after getting home late once again "We need to find a way to shorten our work days. This is unacceptable to me, not seeing our babies but a few minutes a day, and then more often that not, they are asleep. What can we do?" Debbie had been thinking about this as well. "Since Old Wilson is not back to work yet, we really need to move ahead and find him an assistant. Has no one been qualified that you have interveiwed so far?" Rick replied "No one yet. But Old Wilson has in mind a man who used to work with him in the past. I am to meet with him tomorrow. Old Wison and I will try to nail this down then." The meeti

It had been over a year now since Rick's father had been killed. So much had changed in the lives of Rick and Debbie. Not the least of which was the birth of the triplets. They were going to be a handful when they grew up, and Rick and Debbie wanted the time to spend with them now. When Old Wilson first went looking for Rick after the death of Byron Green, he warned Rick that there might be people who would seek revenge on his father. But so far, other than the trouble at the beginning with the Green family, more exactly with Old Madame and His uncle Roy, Rick had been left alone. All of that was about to change. The Windham Group of Tang was headed by an old class mate of Byron's. He had been jealous of the Green family since he had been in grade school. Byron's clothes were always just a little better than his, Byron's reputation was always better, as was his first car when they were sixteen. He always seemed to be second best next to Byron. His name was Phillip Windham. No

After the encounter with Phillip Windham, Rick gave Old Wilson a call to report in. He told Old Wilson what had just happened and asked "Do you ever remember seeing or meeting this person? He claimed to be very close to my Dad." Old Wilson replied "Young Master, I have never even heard of such a person. Let me do some research on him." Rick agreed and hung up the call. Then he called his mother to ask her if she knew the man. "Mom, do you remember a man named Phillip Windham? He claims to have been a very good friend of Dad's. He just tried to shake me down for some money." Betty remembered Phillip well. "Rick, I know him very well. My advice to you is to stay as far away from him as possible. He and your father were fierce rivals all the way back in school. He was jealous of your Dad, and would always put him down whenever he could. To my knowledge, they had not had any contact for a number of years. Has he contacted you for some reason?" Rick was starting to see the

On the evening of the ball, General Han had a detail of his men dressed in suits and leather shoes, two of which would act as drivers, the rest would attend as body guards. Instead of using Rick's Rolls Royce and Debbie's Bentley, they secured matching Black Rolls Royces for the occasion. Since there was to be ten in the party, three cars were needed. They were preceded and followed by black SUV's. The entrance to the venue was set up like a cinematic opening. A step and repeat wall had been set up for taking pictures. A red carpet had been laid out for the guests to walk on. Photographers were snapping pictures for the local press, as this was to be one of the biggest galas in Fing City in years. Everyone who was anyone was there. The night promised to be entertaining as well as profitable for the ophanage. An auction was planned, as well as a celebrity band had been booked to play for the dancing later on. The first part was a sit down dinner, followed by appeals for

Rick's Dilemma Chapter 332
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
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 326
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
