On her way back home from the grocery shop, she received a call from Gaza Woo, the head of the construction team.The man's voice was panicked as he cried out. "President Adams, something has happened!""Gaza, calm down! Tell me what has happened?""When our demolition team was transporting the waste materials from the construction site, we were stopped by a group of people. Not only that, but the rest of our trucks were also forcefully detained by them. When the drivers tried to reason with them, they got beat up for their troubles."Hilda frowned. "Who are these people and why are they blocking our trucks? Who gave them the right to detain our trucks and hit our people?"Gaza explained. "They say that they are residents on that street and they have accused us of destroying their roads with our heavy trucks. They also blamed us for dropping a lot of trash and other waste materials as we have gone past. That's why they are forbidding us from using it. They say that if we dare to use t
Gaza grimaced as he used the sleeve of his shirt to wipe away the blood.Turning to look at the fierce looking thugs, Gasper's voice was hard as he asked. "Who sent you here to cause trouble?"The group of men sneered at him in response.Bernard sized him up before letting out a villainous chuckle. "You are trying to act the hero in front of your pretty boss? Let's see what you are capable of then!"With that, he lifted his hand before bringing it down in a smack across Gasper's face.He had never failed to land a hit before. Yet, before his hand had even touched Gasper's face, the man's hand snapped out to grab his wrist tightly."You!" He was shocked.Bernard felt like his wrist was being held in a vicelike grip. No matter how hard he tried to move it, he found that he could not even budge a single inch. He glared at Gasper, equal parts shocked and furious.Before he could do anything though, Gasper gave him a heavy backhand.Smack!The force behind that hit was immense. For a brief
When they arrived at the police station, Bernard and his men were boldly sitting right there. The curly haired man was kicking up a fuss as he shouted arrogantly. "Hey, somebody get me some medicine for my bruises!"Angry at how the trouble makers were not behind bars whiles Nuella and Gasper were being treated like criminals, Hilda turned to Harold demanding. "What's going on? These men detained my construction company's trucks without my permission and even beat up my drivers! Why aren't you locking them up?"The man scoffed in response. "Miss Smith, are you telling us how to do our jobs?"Flushing at how offensive her words had sounded, she shook her head. "That's not what I meant. They...."Harold cut her off. "They are innocent. They were only protesting your trucks that were using and destroying their roads. Your bodyguards on the other hand deliberately injured them. I had brought them both here to investigate this matter."Just than, Bernard swaggered over, a hand clasped to h
Nathan stared back at the vice captain coldly. "Do you know why you were wrong?" Harold hurriedly answered. "I was ignorant and incredibly rude to you. That was foolish of me.""Wrong! You were not wrong because you were rude to us. You were wrong because you were protecting the guilty and punishing the innocent!"Sweat trickled down the sides of Harold's face. "Yes. l know that I was wrong now. Please give me a chance to make up for my mistake. Someone of your status shouldn't be in here. Why don't we go to the VIP lounge and talk?""No, I want to stay here. Bring that curly haired man, Bernard, in here for me." At Nathan's words, the vice captain seemed a little confused. However, something seemed to click in his mind as he replied several seconds later. "Yes, sir. I'll get right to it".That being said, he and the other policemen left the holding cells.In the lobby, Hilda was nearly going mad with worry as she tried to get a lawyer for Gasper and Nuella as Nathan had been in ther
In front of Nathan's mansion, as Nathan and Hilda stepped out of their car, Emmett Reils, the captain of the police hurried forward. There was a polite smile on his face as he spoke. "Mr. Clemon, Miss Adams, Gasper, Nuella, you are home now. If there is nothing more, we will be taking our leave."The three grunted in reply where as Hilda profusely professed gratefully. "Thank you for escorting us back."Hilda had suggested the idea that the police escort them back since they had initially been taken away by the police.Emmett quickly answered. "It is no trouble miss."Mrs. Adams was currently down town in a hot tub having the time of her life as she thought about how Hilda would fork out thirty million for her or she would have to give up her bodyguard's. Thinking about the bodyguards following Hilda, Mrs. Adams frown. She couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that Hilda had managed to get herself bodyguards right after securing the money to finish her project. Making it hard for som
Carmen went to visit her mother as she couldn't take what was happening in anymore. "Mom, I am greatly upset. That wretched b*tch Hilda is really impressive for having both Daniel and his parents tricked. Daniel now snaps at me at any chance he gets. Today, they were even talking about letting Hilda have some shares in the Stephenson group even if it is just a one percent share." Carmen wiped her tears as she spoke.Mrs. Adams had been thinking of how to work on plan B of getting rid of Hilda. But hearing this now, she just want to strangle Hilda to death. She couldn't contain her hatred as she gritted her teeth. "As long as I am still here, that wretch had better not think about taking a step into the Stephenson family!"Carmen watched her mother's expression as she continued to wipe her tears. "What else can we do now mom? The entire family is dancing in her palms and from her lies now. No matter what we say, no one is going to listen." Carmen said concerned.Mrs. Adams chuckled. "M
The project came along with all sort of activities including a rise in the fame of the Cross Group. Hilda was still pondering on her next move at a restaurant in Bilinsk. As an upcoming entrepreneur, she will never miss any opportunity of working with the idols.As she was deep in thought by herself, she didn't notice that a person was heading her way. The person stopped in front of her in delight and said. "What a coincidence meeting you here, sis!"Hilda looked up to see Carmen's smiling face. She wanted to pretend that she didn't know her but she couldn't do so since she knew her in person. Therefore, she put on a smile that was both polite and distant, asking. "Is there anything I can help you with, Mrs. Stephenson?"Carmen stared at her whom she hadn't seen for two months and she seemed to have become prettier since. Jealousy burned in her.She wished she could tear her pretty face but she couldn't do so now. She bore her fingers into her palm and then proceeded to take an invit
Assassin...!That was the first thing Hilda could think about. She was a well trained assassin!Rex was not an ordinary person either, for he wouldn't have gotten where he was if he was an easy target. Just as the blade was about to stab into his heart, he stretched out his foot and hooked the bag which he had been carrying on his back to the front, stopping the blade just in time. There were two picture frames in his bag thus, they saved his life."Quick, run!" As he struggled underneath the assassin, Rex shouted at Hilda loudly at the same time.However, as soon as he finished shouting, the body of the female assassin convulsed. The blade in her hands fell to the floor, And her eyes rolled back as she fell down besides Rex.He saw Hilda standing behind the assassin with a taser in her hand. He thought she would be so petrified that she would become disorientated, Hilda didn't seem to be afraid at all. Her eyes were icy cold as she kept her taser away. She took two steps forward and
