Rick's Dilemma Chapter 277
Many businesses had flocked to the new RBG LLC Business management company. They had a reputation for honesty and that was a rare commodity in the business world. Most of this reputation was based on Debbie herself. She insisted that any business dealings that the company had, were to be all above board. Anita agreed and supported this policy as well. Anita called Debbie to check in with her after the first week of being open to new clients. "Mrs. Green, I just wanted to update you on the progress of our first week. We have signed over thirty-five new clients this week alone! We're off to a good start." Debbie had been keeping an eye on how things were going, so this was no surprise to her. But she wanted Anita to keep up the momentem for the long run. She replied "Anita that is wonderful news! You have been really working hard to make this a success! Thank you so much for all of your hard work. And by the way, please just call me Debbie. You are now on equal footing with me, a

The night was a memorable one for both Rick and Debbie. It was as if their love had been renewed. Never before had they been so close. It was to last through whatever came next in their lives. In the coming weeks, RBG LLC Business Management Company grew at an alarming rate. Anita proved to have a knack for encouraging her workers to greater heights. The new offices were set up and operating smoothly. Until a strange thing happened in Shanghai. Anita called Debbie to report the incident. "Debbie, we seem to have a problem in the Shanghai office. There was a man who came into the lobby today, and he was looking for the person in charge. He said that he wanted to talk about the lease contract for the building. The receptionist refered him to me. When we met in my office, he said his name was Horton Wiggins from the Wiggins Firm of Investors. I have never heard of such a company. Then he informed me that the building was in his families hands, and that I needed to pay him rent fro

Having made his plans, and set in place all of the men, Matthew was ready to confront Mr. Wiggins. Matthew was excited to get started, but also a bit hesitant. He wanted to perform well in front of Rick and Old Wilson. At the appointed time, Mr. Wiggins entered the office and walked straight into Anita's office. He was acting like he owned the place as he brushed aside anyone that got in his way. His arrogance was overwhelming. The first thing that he saw when he reached Anita's door was a man standing by her desk. He was of medium build and had a handsome face. He did not look like a threat, so he shouted "Get out! I have business with the CEO that does not concern you." Matthew turned to look at the rude person and replied "If you want to talk business, then you will have to talk to me. Mrs. Han has explained to me about your claims, and I need to be sure of what is going on here before we pay you one red cent." Mr. Wiggins was startled to see that Anita had brought i

The reason that Matthew made such a public display of the events of Friday morning, was to let everyone in Shanghai know that RBG Group was not a push over. He wanted it made clear that they would prosecute anyone who tried to intimidate them. However, this was a double edged sword. It also served to put a target on his back. Now seen as the spokesperson for RBG Group, his public address to the reporters named the Wiggins family, and exposed their reign of terror in the city. Now, having seen that others were starting to stand up to the Wiggins family, other victims started to come forward to press charges. Homer Wiggins was the head of the Wiggins family and Chairman of the Wiggins Firm of Investors. When he heard the news of his son's arrest, he was livid. How dare they arrest his son, again! They knew that he would be released in just a couple of hours, so why did the police even bother? This time though, things were a little different. In the past, Horton had always got

After Horton Wiggins' bond hearing, trial was set for a week later. Nothing that Homer did made any difference, and he was unable to get his son out of jail. Horton was adamant about pleading innocent to all charges, even though the prosecution had witnesses and the recording from his visit to RBG LLC Business Management. He just could not believe that a jury, once they knew 'who he was', would dare to convict him. His arrogance was way over the top for sure. Even his lawyer could not convince him that there was no hope of acquittal. The day of the trial arrived, and all parties were seated in the court room. As the trial began, the prosecutor played the recording. The lawyer for Horton spoke up just as the tape began to play "I object to this. It could have been faked for all we know. I move that the recording be deemed inadmissible, Your Honor!" The judge for the case was Kenneth Truman. He was known for his sense of fair play, and never took sides in any case that he oversaw

In the conference room of the RBG LLC Business Management, everyone settled down to listen to Matthew. He had called the meeting to discuss what they should do next. "My idea is to put a little pressure on Homer Wiggins, which in turn, might make him show his hand. If we can get him to make a mistake, the police can lock him up with his son, and the people of Shanghai will be rid of at least the Wiggins family threat for good." Rick said "So how do you purpose to apply this pressure? Nothing illegal, I trust?" Matthew chuckled and said "Of course nothing illegal. We don't need to resort to his level to bring him down, he will do that out of his own greed. We know from our sourses that Homer Wiggins paid a lot of money to take revenge on RBG Group. We also know that the man he hired skipped out with the money. Homer must be livid at this point. His focus will still be on revenge. Let's refocus his attention to something closer to home for him." Old Wilson knew where Matthew

Everyone was familar with Rick's 'ideas'. Some were excellent, but others were ...less so. Old Wilson rolled his eyes and said "Ok, let's hear it!" Rick cleared his throat and said "My idea concerns the ophans of Shanghai. This city has a large number of orphanages, and not enough money to go around. I thought that as a way of giving back to society, we could sponser a scholarship for several of the brightest to come out of the city's orphanages, and use the rent from these high rises to fund it. If they go to a local university, we could even offer them an apartment as well. Not many of them could ever afford to even go to college otherwise." Debbie clapped her hands and said "Oh Rick, that's the best idea you've had all year!"Everyone agreed. They all knew that the Greens didn't need the money from the rents. And this was diffinitely the best use of the revenue that any of them could think of. Old Wilson was in awe of Rick's generousity. He said "Why stop at just scholarship

Lois, Howard and Heyward were all looking forward to their trip to Shanghai. Debbie had called to invite them to the gala, and said that she hoped that they would come a day or two early. She wanted to have a family meeting. Old Man and Old Madame Thomas were coming, as well as Rebecca. Heyward's wife was invited too, but she had something on with her family that weekend, so she would not be attending. Not much had been heard from the Jelang group lately. Lois was busy with her shop, which had made surprising progress in the last few months. And Lois was so proud of her work. This made Debbie very pleased with her mother. Howard and Heyward had been working hard at the shelter and were glad of the break this trip would give them. The shelter was full almost every night now, and the demands on thier resourses were making it difficult to manage sometimes. So Howard wanted a word with Rick, and this was the perfect time to do it. Everyone was seated out by the pool of the

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

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

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
