Chapter 131

In Paris, Rick's plane had just landed. Old Wilson had made all the arrangemets and had a convoy waiting at the airport. After clearing customs, the group left on the way to the hotel. It was situated in the heart of Paris, not too far from the Eiffel Tower. It was rather a modern building, renovated in the popular continental style. Old Wilson had reserved the Presidential Suite for Rick, and the adjoining suites for the rest of the party. It was early evening in Paris, but with the time changes, it felt very late to everyone. They went out on the street to find some dinner, then they all returned to the hotel to turn in for an early night. The next morning, Old Wilson had breakfast with Rick in his suite. The day would be spent at the Paris office, which had been alerted to Rick's visit. Old Wilson had sent the assistants on ahead to brief the office on what was required before Rick arrived. As the office workers scambled around preparing documents and files for the impendin

Chapter 132

After the Director and the office manager wrote out their confessions and had signed them, witnessed by an office notary, Old Wilson asked the police officer to come in to the conference room. He explained what had happened, and showed the officer the confessions. The police still needed them to come down to the station with him. They went quietly. They were sure that they would be let off now that they had confessed. But, the confessions just made the police officer's job easier. With a signed confession, he was able to charge them both immediately with accepting a bribe, as well as industrial espionage. In the end, the two were sentenced to twenty years in prison. Old Wilson suspected that they would not get off lightly after the confession. He had tricked them into the confession. But it would be some while before they found out the outcome. The next step was to announce what had happened to the world. That's where Rick would come in. Old Wilson called a press conference for the

The press conference was an eye opener for a lot of people. It showed just how wicked the Harris family really were. The locals were outraged at the family to the point that the house on the Battery was swarmed within hours. A lot of people wanted answers from the Harris'. But they were to be disappointed. The elderly butler came out on the front porch and read a statement from the family to the public. It was basicaly a statment to try and bluff the public into thinking that this whole mess was no more than a huge misunderstanding between two business rivals. No one was taken in by this farse. The butler had to scurry back into the house before he was mobbed by the furious crowd. Old Wilson was very concerned for their safety at this time. He let it be known that they would be leaving Charleston the next day. However, he had secretly arranged for them to leave that very night. They checked out of the hotel and slipped out a back entrance, and only one car at the time. They all met

Chapter 135

Old Man Thomas had mixed feelings about Rick. It was true that Rick had come through over Old Madame's medical bills. Rick had even made sure that she had the proper follow up care that she required. This was something that the Old Man could not have afforded on his own. But, on the other hand, Rick had not been kind to his son Howard. The truth of the matter was that Old Man Thomas did not know what Howard had tried to do concerning Rick in Fing City. All he knew was that Rick had seen to it that Howard was forced to be a janitor at the Village Hall. This was a humiliation to, not only Howard, but the whole of the Thomas family as well. So his overall opinion of Rick was mixed. Shirley entered the Thomas villa in a panic. She asked the servant where Old Man Thomas was now. She was directed to the study. As she walked in, Old Man Thomas was studying some papers on his desk. He looked up to see Shirley looking very unhappy. "What is the matter daughter-in-law?" "I need your advi

Li Fan was driving the Bentley with Madame Green and his wife Alice on board to the train station to pick up Old Man and Old Madame Thomas. They planned to have a late lunch in town before going on to Ting Gap. Once inside the car, The Old Man and Old Madame felt like royalty being driven around in such a luxurious vehicle. No one in Jelang had such a car, and most had never seen one besides the Rolls Royce that Rick and Debbie had arrived in back when Old Madame Green was in the hospital. Old Man Thomas could not fathom just how much that Rick and Debbie were worth. And he still did not know about the jet that was now sitting in a private hangar at the airport. The old couple were thrilled to meet the three infant boys that were their Great Grandsons. As all babies were, they were fat and happy, and loved being held. Old Madame was sent back to her youth, and the time when she had her own babies. Knowing how it was looking after one was bad enough, she couldn't imagine having t

By the end of the month, the old Banker's Trust building had a new owner. Old Wilson was able to push through the sale in record time. The asking price was $500 million. But Old Wilson offered $300 million as a starting point with which to have room to bargain. Suprisingly, the original owners jumped at the chance to make a quick sale. They were in need of cash, and since the building had no debts against it, it was the only asset they had to draw cash from. Old Wilson found a good real estate lawyer, and together, they were able to push through all the inspections and licences needed to get a Certificate of Occupancy. All that was left now was to renovate the floors that RBG LLC would use. The building was 48 floors. The top two were the executive suites. Debbie's office was going to be the penthouse office with the best view of the city. There was enough room for her office, her assistant's office, a small apartment, complete with a bedroom, full bathroom, kitchen and dinning ro

The rest of the night went by in a flash. The staff were all in a joyous mood as they left the party at the end of the night. They all thanked Debbie for including them in the festivities. As they returned to Ting Gap, everyone went to their respective rooms to rest. Debbie was proud of the way things went. She remembered to thank Chef Matthew for the excellent job he had done on the food. He was all smiles at her praise. Debbie and Rick had just gotten to their room when Alice came rushing up. Tears were running down her face as she blurted out "Oh Debbie, Rick! Something awful has happened! My parents' villa was destroyed by fire this morning! Lois' guards rushed in to help put out the flames, and one of them was injured. He is in the hospital even now. The Fire Marshall investigated, and said that the fire was caused by faulty wiring. Now my parents are staying in the servants' house behind the burnt out shell. What can we do to help them? I feel so bad not being there to l

Just then, General Han called Rick. He was at the hospital and had just seen his man. The damage to his skin was extensive, but not life threatening. Rick told him of the decision that had been made about the Thomas' moving to Fing City, and the problem of transporting everyone back. The general told Rick not to worry about it. He would arrange it for him. Rick thanked the general and hung up the call. He was glad that the man was not in a life threatening condition. Right now, his focus was on his grandparents-in-law. He had to get them to Fing City and see to their future welfare. Rick next called Old Wilson to update him on what was going on. Old Wilson said that he would start immediately on searching for a new house for the Thomas'. After all, Rick had a considerable amount of property in and round Fing City. There was sure to be something suitable available. The general was as good as his word. A little while later, a car pulled up in front of the Thomas estate to take t

After the morning spent in fittings, next they went to the shopping mall for shoes, and to outfit the old man with day clothes. Pants and shirts, underwear and socks, then pajamas and dressing gowns.The tailor would match up ties once the suits were made. He also would provide top coats and scarfs. Then Rick had one more stop that he wanted to make. He had decided to get the Old Man a decent watch to wear. He had never seen the old man wear one, but wanted to have him pick out one to show his respect. It was an ordeal to persuade him that it was a neccessity in today's society. In the end, he choose one that had a plain face, but it had a sterling silver band. Rick didn't let him see the price, because he was afraid that the old man would refuse it. It cost almost $500,000. That was probably more money than the old man had ever seen at one time in his life. While there, Rick also picked up
