Smiling faintly, Timothy taunted," Your research isn't that comprehensive afterall." There was a hint of mockery in his voice.

" This isn't my turf. Ofcourse it would be hard for me to dig some Information especially if it is hidden intentionally." Jason replied calmly. Not a hint of anger showing on his handsome face.

" What kind of help do you need? I'll do my best to help you." Timothy agreed to offers helping hand to his future cousin in law.

You have been deemed unworthy leading the company,who do you think you are to oppose the decision of the board members?" Timothy questioned, his eyes narrowed dangerously." Learn to respect your elders young man." Mr Jones countered. " Do you think I don't know you are in cahoots with that wicked slut! All you wanna do is rob me off my company!"
