All Chapters of Most Influential Husband At My Feet: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

To visit the address sent to him by his informant, Rhett devised the perfect disguise— Dressing up as a common man. His friend, Optimist, was usually aware of his activities, but this time, Rhett kept it under wraps. He carefully selected an outfit online and scheduled two meetings to keep Optimist occupied.One of which included Ashley on seat but he bailed out on the excuse of meeting a high profile client out of work.In the early hours of the morning, Rhett drove to the hospital, dressed in grey pants and a black shirt, complete with a matching face cap to better conceal himself. He brought a fruit basket as well. Parking his car a few blocks away, he walked to the hospital, his heart heavy with anticipation.The hospital stood out in a quiet, run-down street, surrounded by old, abandoned houses. The hospital is the only good building left and it seems like a perfect place to hide someone.Rhett's thoughts raced as he approached the entrance. "How will I meet Optimist's parents

Days Later>>>Optimist had gone to visit his friend’s old man, concerning his health, but then he requested a brief summary of the company’s condition lately. The old man does this every year by either consulting Optimist or having someone from the inside do the job. Of course without Rhett’s knowledge.“With Miss Gu’s concluded investment, that marks the end of our yearly budgets and goals,” Optimist concluded his summary and clasped his journal closed.“Hmmm, nice job. I’m proud of you both. Do you see why it’s better to have him do the job instead? He’s swift and easy to understand, a very talented man” The old man said amidst chuckles. Facing his butler who showed his agreement with a faint smile.Optimist’s happy face came onto the surface, the rare demeanor he has every time the old man praises him.“You both have worked so hard for years. I’m proud of you both. I feel like I have two grandsons” The old man said with a hint of disappointment in his tone.Optimist’s attempt to ar

Ashley tensed up on the bed as she read through the messages sent to her. She could feel the cold air penetrating through her flimsy nightwear.She didn’t want to believe her eyes. Frantically, she scrolled down to the end of the messages where several links were attached. Links to the news from many years ago, news about her father being a criminal.Ashley stood up slowly with the phone in hand. She glanced at her son teary-eyed, struggling to fight back her tears from dropping right there on the spot.Her hands shot up to her mouth instinctively; Pressing down on it before escaping to the bathroom.Ashley closed the toilet lid before sitting on it. Then she returned to the beginning of the text message.“The McCalls ruined your life! They killed your family” She shuddered in fright.“Here’s a little advice from a well-wisher, I pray that by the time you finish this wonderfully written piece, you’ll make the right decision and get justice for your father.You’re about to read the mos

Rhet was about to approach the checkpoint when he saw Ashley there as well. And when their eyes met, Ashley quickly turned away from him out of embarrassment. Rhett paused his steps, his initial reaction from the house fading off.“I’m sorry, I didn’t think you would come here sooner,” Rhett said behind her.Ashley slowly turned but was unable to meet his gaze. “Same here” she replied, “I figured it’s better to act fast than waiting around to wallow in my pain. I need answers too”“I can leave and come back later if you want. You told me a few hours back that you would like your space” he reminded and Ashley sighed. Her eyes flickered.“No, it’s fine. You don’t have to do that” she said.“I’ll just come back later. I bet we are seeing different people anyway” Rhett said as he turned to leave.Ashley made a swift turn “Don’t go please!” she pleaded.Rhett stopped in his tracks.“Maybe I’m kinda relieved to see you here, I don’t think I can go in alone… I can’t face them alone. I’m scar

Ashley hurried to her bedroom, her breath shaky as she rummaged through her closet to find a change of clothes. The sound of her phone buzzing was driving her crazy so she ended up picking the next dress in sight.While putting on her dress, she would swipe up for new updates. When she was done, she put on her loafers and started walking down the stairs.A message came in from a familiar number that she hadn’t added to contact before.“Oh! It was this same number that texted me a few days ago” she said with her eyes on the phone as she jogged down the stairs.She almost missed her steps but fortunately, Mr.Fred was around to grasp her hand.“Miss please be careful” he stated his worry.“Uh, Mr.Fred! I’m glad you’re here. Have you read the news?” She asked uneasily.“Yes Miss, please calm down and do not concern yourself with it for now” he advised.Ashley arrived at the base of the stairs and frowned upon her assistant.“Take me to him. I need to see Rhett before they’ll arrest him” s
