Chapter 121

Things had started to settle down at Ting Gap. The babies' arrival had disrupted the household at first, but now the daily schedule had returned to normal, more or less. Chef Matthew was always ready with a hot meal for anyone who needed it, and Li Fan was always available to solve any crisis. Debbie had regained her strength and was ready to return to work. Rick was happy to see her in such good spirits. Debbie got up on that Monday morning ready to face her first day back. As she drove into the car park in front of the building, she noticed that her parking space had an unknown car parked there. She found another space and walked into the building and took the elevator up to her office. When she arrived at her office, she found the door locked. Turning to her assistant, she asked what was going on. The assistant shyly bowed her head and said softly "The head of personel has been using your office since you've been out. She must not have known that you were coming back t

Chapter 122

Old Wilson walked into Debbie's office to find her drinking tea with the man he knew to be the Finance Director of the firm, Mr. Boyd. He was curious as to what prompted Debbie to seek him out. Debbie put her cup down and stood up at the approach of Old Wilson. "Thank you for comimg so quickly! I have some concerns that I would like your help with. This morning, I dismissd Ms. Grant, the head of personel. I found out that she had been usng my office in my absence, and had even had a lock installed on my door. I suspect that there is something more going on here, and asked Director Boyd to come along to help us investgate the matter." Director Boyd shot up out of his chair and cried " I know nothing about what she was doing! I swear it had nothing to do with me!" "What has nothing to do with you? Why did you say that?" Old Wilson caught that slip of the tongue that Director Boyd had just made. "I...I...I just mean that if she was up to something, I don't have anything to

Chapter 123

When Rick walked through the office door, Debbie sighed with relieve. She was starting to feel that the situation was a bit over her head. Having Rick beside her boosted her confidence level. After getting a report from Old Wilson on his findings, Rick was suspecting that the Green family might very well be involved. "Ms. Grant, did someone put you up to this? If you confess everything now, it will go much easier on you in the long run." Rick was trying to get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible. Ms. Grant cried out "It was a man that I met a few months ago. He explained to me that draining the firm's money would be easy, and that no one would ever know that it was me that did it, if I could get the Director of Finance to become involved. I proceeded to seduce Mr. Boyd, and after that, he was like putty in my hands. Everything was going so well, up until Madame Chairman unexpectedly returned to the firm. Then everything began to crumble." Old Wilson asked her "Who

Chapter 124

The news of the Green family disappearence spread around Tang like wildfire. It was assumed that they had disappeared to avoid repaying the huge debt that they still owed the banks and suppliers around town. In the long run, no one was really surprised. Everyone knew that the Greens' didn't have any assets left. So the banks had already written off the remaining debt. On the cargo ship, Old Madame Green was very depressed.

Chapter 126

Lois was frustrated by what Rick and Debbie had planned for her. The triplets were almost 2 months old, and she had yet to see them. "So I am not even allowed to see my grandchildren? Will they never know their own grandmother? This is intolerable!" Debbie sneered at Lois. "Do you think that after what you have done, that we would want you anywhere near the boys? You have no right to see them! You wanted them to lose their father and grow up not knowing what a loving and caring man that he is. Not knowing just how much he loves each of them. You would have deprived them of that? How can you think that you have any right to be in their lives at all? But I will tell you what I will do. I will send you pictures of them from time to time. By the way, their names are Bruce, Byron and Brian. named after my father, Rick's father and Old Wilson. You will not be allowed to come near the boys until you can prove to us both that you have changed. Otherwise, forget it!" Lois screamed "Th

Chapter 127

Rick calmed himself down before saying with a forced smile "Ms. Simpson, who are the ladies in your group? I must measure their position against that of Ms. Madison if I am to judge fairly who should stay." Ms. Simpson was prepared for this. She took out a list from her bag and handed it over to Rick. "These are the women who agree with me on this matter. We are afraid if word gets out that we work along side a hussy like her, then our reputations, as well as that of the firm, will be negatively affected." "Thank you for coming today. I will take this matter into consideration, and you will be hearing from me personally. As will everyone else on this list, I can assure you of that. Good day to you, Ms. Simpson." Rick had to use every ounce of self control to not blow up at this hateful woman. Ms. Madison had earned her position on her own merits. Her resume was exemplary. She had nothing to be ashamed of at work. Her private life is her own business. As Ms. Simpson left Tin

Chapter 128

Old Wilson greeted his Young Master with a warm welcome and a cup of tea. As they sat in the living room of his house, Old Wilson looked troubled. Rick asked "Old Friend, what is the matter? You seem disturbed." Old Wilson put his tea cup down and looked over at Rick and said "Young Master, there are problems starting up over in the Paris office. It started over a contract for the shipping route from France to the Americas. There was fierce competition for that contract, and the biggest loser was the Harris family from Charleston, South Carolina in the United States. They have started nasty rumors about the way you do business. They have suggested that you threatened the client to give you the contract, or face bankruptcy. Although the client, the Neil family in Paris, have not confirmed the rumor, a lot of our other clients have been dubious to sign new contracts with us. This must be nipped in the bud before it spreads any further. The way that I see it, we must make a trip to

Chapter 129

When Debbie arrived back at Ting Gap, she decided to take the afternoon off. Her mood was not conducive to dealing with all of that at this moment. All she wanted to do was spend time with her babies. But fate would have other plans for her today. Debbie recieved a phone call for her assistant. She was miffed at the meaning. She would have to go in after all. When Debbie arrived at the office, she saw that stupid group of women that had been terminated over the Racheal Madison incident. They were picketing the firm on the front lawn just outside the main entrance. Not wanting to make a scene, Debbie walked over to them and singled out Ms. Simpson. Debbie politely asked "What is it that you wish to accomplish by this show?" Ms. Simpson replied "We are here to dispute our firings. You had no right to terminate us as you did. If anyone should be sacked , it's that disgraceful woman Ms. Madison. If our demands are not met, we will be forced to go to the media to tell our

Chapter 130

Ms. Amanda Simpson was outraged at the desertion of her cronies. She felt that she held the moral high ground in this matter, and that her beliefs were far superior to Ms. Madison. Whether or not that she had no concrete proof of Ms. Madison's sins made no difference to her. She just knew that she was right. She wanted justice for herself, if not for the others that had abandoned her and her cause. She was bound and determined to see this through. Debbie looked at her with distain. Who was this woman who thought herself better than someone else? Even if Racheal forgave her, Debbie did not want a person like Ms. Simpson working for her. "So, Ms. Simpson, what are your plans now?" Ms. Simpson replied "I want to take this to the highest court! I know that I am right, and I will find a way to prove it! You will see that in the end, good people will always prevail." Debbie smurked and said "Well then, I guess that we will see you in court!" As she turned to walk out of the r
