Chapter 91~ Financial audit

“Sir, huge amounts of money have been transferred from the company’s accounts in the last two days,” Diego Monterro, Henry Ford’s assistant, reported the moment Henry arrived at his office. He returned to work after two weeks of staying with his wife in the hospital. Even though he was working from the ward, he needed a full report of what was helping at the company while he was away. “Who approved the transaction? And what was the money for? How much are we talking about here?” Henry asked. He just had a great and satisfying morning with his wife but then this news dampened his mood. “Jason Hamilton approved the transaction, sir. The money was going to the contractors of our recent project to build laboratories for Ford Pharmaceuticals. It’s about one billion dollars,” Diego answered. Henry furrowed his eyebrows. One billion dollars was a ridiculous amount of money unless they were building a skyscraper. He had seen the proposal and the project would cost at most, 300 million

Chapter 92~ The Hamiltons make their move

“Relax, he won’t find anything. We’ve been careful,” Eric Hamilton assured his son. They were in his office as the financial audit team went through the finance department. "They won’t be able to trace it back to us,” Eric added. However, Jason wasn’t convinced. Henry seemed confident as if he knew something. He glanced at his father and said, “We need to move our plan up. If he’s out of the picture, you can order a stop to the audit, Dad. If they find anything, we will be doomed and everything we’ve worked for will all be for nothing.” When Henry announced the merging of Starlight Inc. and Ford Corporation, Jason panicked. Every time a company merges with another, serious checks are done on the company in order to see how best they can run it now that it was bigger. However, knowing what he and his father had done, Jason had to act fast. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get more money from the company without getting noticed. So, he transferred a lump sum of money to the cont

Chapter 93~ Exposed

The terrible accident soon got the attention of the media. A reporter arrived at the scene and while facing the camera, she stood a few meters away from the damaged car and reported, “As you can see, behind me lies the wreckage of what was once Henry Ford’s car. It has been crushed beyond recognition and the firemen are trying their best to take out the victim. Unfortunately, the multi-billionaire is feared dead as it is impossible for someone to survive such a fatal accident." The cameraman went on to zoom in on the deformed G Wagon. It looked like a bulldozer had driven over it. It was so smashed that there were no chances of survival for the driver. This time, the truck was damaged at the front too. The driver of the truck had escaped to avoid being arrested for careless driving which led to a terrible accident. "We are yet to talk to the wife of Mr Ford, Mrs Roxanne Smith-Ford. However, we’ve already confirmed with the Ford Corporation that Mr Henry Ford was driving himself whe

Chapter 94~ We won

Gasps echoed around the finance department as they stared at the man who walked through the door. The man was none other than Henry Ford! He approached Eric and Jason with four men following behind. Jason’s eyes widened. He pointed a finger at Henry and exclaimed, “You should be dead! What are you doing here?” Eric Hamilton was equally shocked. He had seen the state of Henry’s car on the news. Why was he still alive? Who died in that crash? Henry chuckled darkly. He glanced at the duo and sneered, saying, “You celebrated too soon. Did you see my remains for you to think I’m dead?” Jason and his father shared a look. Blade had confirmed that he had killed Henry. Even his wrecked car was captured on National TV. Eric Hamilton forced a smile and glanced at Henry. He remarked, “So, you’re alive? That’s great news! We were all sad that you met your end in that accident. How did you survive?” Everyone’s mouths gaped at the elderly man’s acting. He was so smooth that one would think

Chapter 95~ The Ford foundation

“I’m excited to see the kids. I loved how they helped you propose to me,” Roxanne said as they drove into the Ford’s foundation. To celebrate Henry's victory, they decided to spend some time with the children at the Ford Foundation. It was a beautiful four-story building with many bedrooms for the kids. A large lounge where the kids could watch TV, a gaming room and theatre were also part of the building. It was like a mansion with many bedrooms. The Foundation was built to accommodate a lot of children. The backyard was also a sight to see. A lush green lawn surrounded part of the area. It was wide enough for kids to play. One could spot a large pool in the backyard, safeguarded by a small fence to prevent the little kids from falling in. Roxanne hadn’t seen anything like it. Most of the orphanages she had seen were built like school hostels with no luxury or comfort whatsoever. “They are smart kids. Most of them were abandoned by their mothers and others were given up for a

Chapter 96~ It has began

Henry spent two hours emptying the bar. He didn't want to disturb the staff so he did it by himself. Roxanne was adamant about getting rid of all the alcohol in the house. She said it smelled like rotten eggs and was making her sick. He picked up his favorite bourbon and his heart clenched. 'Does it mean I won't have my favourite drink for the next few months?' It hurt to part away with his favorite drinks but his wife came first. Still, when he reached for the last bottle, he glanced at Roxanne and asked, "Babe, can I at least keep one? This one doesn't smell that much." Roxanne frowned. She folded her arms across her chest and asked quizzingly, "Do you love me more or the alcohol more?" "What?" Henry's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, his mouth dropped to the floor. "It seems you can't live without your alcohol. Who comes first to you, your wife or your alcohol?" Henry was bereft of words. He didn't understand where all this was coming from. How could a simple question

Chapter 97~ Oliver's proposal

It took two hours for Henry to finally find food that would not make Roxanne sick. After having the chef prepare meal after meal, Henry decided to take his wife out, food hunting. It being a weekend, he didn’t have to worry about being late for work. However, he worried about the fuming pregnant woman who was like a ticking time bomb. Having an angry pregnant woman was scarier than the stock price of Ford Corporation dropping. One would lead to an unhappy wife and the other would lead to huge company losses. Henry was afraid of the former because happy wife, happy life. Roxanne couldn’t keep any food down. Not even the street food that she suddenly wanted to try when they passed through a Sunday market area where various food stalls were selling food. She tried a hamburger, tacos and a burrito but she couldn’t even go past the first bite. However, as she sighed in disappointment, her eyes gleamed when she saw a stall selling some fresh pickles and an idea crept into her mind.

Chapter 98~ Why don't I have a last name?

“Oliver, why did you do that?” Henry asked as he sat next to the boy. “Why did you try to jump over the fence? Don’t you know it’s dangerous?” Oliver lowered his eyes. His cute little face had a few bruises that had already been treated. He was an eight-year-old boy with sandy brown hair and squishy cheeks. He played with his fingers on his good arm, averting the adults’ inquisitive gazes. “I do,” Oliver answered in a low voice. His face was red from all the attention he was getting. Roxanne stepped forward. She lowered her head so she could look into Oliver’s eyes. She softly inquired, “Were you trying to run away?” Oliver shook his head. He replied, “No. But the guard wouldn’t open the gate for me.” “Why didn’t you ask Celeste to help you out with what you wanted?” Roxanne asked again. Henry remained silent, watching the two interact. It seemed Oliver was more responsive to Roxanne than him so he let her talk to him. “Because… because I didn’t want her to feel bad,” Olive

Chapter 99~ Craving a big brother

“I can’t believe this. Are the Crawfords crazy? Why would they abandon their own child?” Roxanne was perplexed. She had heard of the Crawfords. Although they couldn’t match up to the Smiths in wealth, they were slowly rising up the ranks. The Fords were the richest though. Roxanne couldn’t imagine why the whole Crawford group could let a child stay in an orphanage. “That was my reaction the first time I heard about it too,” Henry responded. “Four years ago, I had come to the city to check on the foundation. I was 26 by then and I was not yet ready to fully return but I wanted to fulfil my mother’s dream by taking care of the children at the foundation. That was when Oliver was brought in by the butler of the Crawford family.” He recalled how the four-year-old Oliver clung to the butler’s legs and begged him not to leave him there. It was a heartbreaking sight. ~Flashback to four years ago~ Henry Ford had just returned to the city to oversee how the foundation was running. He li

Chapter 100~ Oliver Ford

“Are you really sure, babe? I need to know if this is just a pregnancy emotion thing,” Henry asked his wife. “I want you to think this through because once we make this decision, we have to stick to it till the end. Making Oliver ours is not a pregnancy craving that you can outgrow. It’s forever.” Roxanne bit her lower lip. She knew her heightened emotions could have given her the courage to make such a suggestion but she was certain of her decision. She smiled and said, “Oliver reminds me of my past. I was a stranger in my own father’s house. I can’t even imagine what kind of life he would have lived if he stayed with the Crawfords. It’s always sad to see a father who’s not willing to put in the effort in raising his child. That man believed it so easily when someone else told him the boy who had been with him for four years was not his. He’s not worthy to be called a father.” Henry kept quiet as he listened to his wife. Although he never had such an experience, he could still p
