All Chapters of His Little Pawn: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

When Ronald came back to the company, he was applauded and celebrated for securing the contract. The fool had been all smiles that day as he bragged on and on. Everyone who had been doubtful were relieved and surprised. Pearl in particular was stunned. "Doesn't this seem too easy? There's no way Ronald could have gotten that contract. Not with his skills. He probably had his assistants do all the work" She ranted. "And you came all the way to my office to tell me that? I raised a brow. She sighed. "Doesn't it bother you Lance? I mean we both know Ronald. We grew up together! That guy's an idiot. He might have gotten the contract but he'll ruin the company eventually! Did you know since he became MD, we've encountered an 8% decline in profits""Babe, your father told you not to talk about that" Devon muttered as he stood by a corner. I had suspected Ronald's current position would affect the company but I never thought it would be that bad so soon. Why would grandfather let this h

Sapphire tried to move away but he tightened his hand around her shoulder and neck. "Hey..let me go" "Ah, where are you off to sweetheart? We haven't even had a conversation yet. Relax" He said touching her hair softly. It made her feel sick. "What do you want? Sapphire asked. "Elisa told me what you did to her""And so?"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You might not know what will happen next"Sapphire scoffed and with all the energy in her body, flung his hand away. "What will you do? Try to kill me? Sorry but your lover already tried that and failed"Sapphire said with a sneer and she saw the man's eyes widen in surprise. "Elisa tried to get rid of you herself?"Why don't you ask your lover? She told you what I did to her huh? Why didn't she tell you what she did to me? You both better be careful unless you want your secret out in the open"He gasped at her in surprise and disbelief. So Elisa had tried to dispose of this bitch herself but yet her mouth was still as sharp as

In a general room, Kathy helped clean Devon's wound while Pearl ranted on and on."That wretched woman! Who does she think she is? She thinks she can take over my department? Ohhhh. She's so wrong! I'll show her! I'll make her pay. I'll make mother pay as well! They'll regret the day they did this to me. Grandfather too!"Shut your gutter of a mouth young woman! Can't you see how you hurt your husband? Kathy snapped as she wiped Devon's face. "Ouch" Devon winced as her hand touched his swollen eye. Pearl gasped when her head was finally knocked back to reality. She rushed to where he was and held his face gently. "Oh my goodness. Dev babe, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, so so sorry" She planted kisses on his face and Kathy rolled her eyes. "Stop it Pearl. You should try to control your temper babe. I'm always telling you" Devon muttered and Pearl started crying. "Babe, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I won't let my temper control me again. I was just so overwhelmed. I'm sorry" She hugged

Lance sat still in the office as Ronald was busy running crazy. The project contract with the Chinese had crashed. Soon enough Steve's team had discovered it to be fake minutes ago. Christian who brought the project before the company board was literally crawling and rolling on the floor. The contract being fake wasn't as painful as the fact that Ronald had invested the entire money in millions into the project at once!Lance stifled the urge to smirk. He had baited him at the party that night and he had fallen for it woefully. He knew he would anyway. Lance had hired Mr Shin, an educated con man who handled the entire procedure. He had gotten a crew and everything under a fake name and a fake portfolio. After sealing the project, he had disappeared with all the money and Ronald had been made the fool. Just like they had planned. The signs of them being a fake company had been there especially when Ronald went to seal the contract but the deal had been so huge and Ronald was extre

Lance walked in that moment. He had gone out jogging earlier. He noticed Sapphire was awake. Their eyes clocked and he looked away. She probably wouldn't remember what she said last night but it still made him uncomfortable and unsure of himself. Sapphire bit her lips as she stared at him. Why was he so quiet? Wasn't he going to say anything? She sighed. "J…Janet told me about yesterday…thank you" She said forcefully with a gulp and he looked at her. She noticed the look in his eyes were very different than usual. However he snorted. "Your alcohol tolerance is pretty low. What the hell were you thinking when you went drinking? Sapphire looked away in embarrassment. She had expected him to mock her but the tone in his voice was more embarrassing. Why was he talking like he cared?"Well, what I was thinking shouldn't be your concern""You were dead drunk and you ran off. Where the hell do you think I found you? You were almost raped. You know that? He snapped at her and her ears sto
