CHAPTER 504THE COMMITTEE MEETING Jeremy could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins as he listened to the loud voices in the hall.He heard the whimpering of someone who seemed to be on the receiving end of everyone else's anger.Jeremy knew that Avery had been summoned to the meeting and he wished desperately that it wasn't her who was being spoken to in this way, though he was sure that he wouldn't be able to tolerate it if it was his wife who was being shouted at."Stop this nonsense apology Avery, we don't need it," a man said, his words coming out like poison.Jeremy instantly felt his heart freeze as he heard the name of his wife and his love.His blood boiled, his breathing ragged and heavy as he fought to regain control of his emotions.He clenched his hands at his side in despair and walked out into the hall with long strides, his eyes searching for the man who had used that tone with his wife."What madness is going on here?" Jeremy shouted as he walked fully into

CHAPTER 506THE VERDICTMark's words immediately felt like a blade cutting through Avery's heart to her back.She felt helpless and completely immobile, as if she were dreaming. She couldn't believe Mark was saying those words, her eyes glowing with helplessness and obvious fear."Your band is not allowed to produce any goods or conduct any business in New York City," Mark emphasised, making sure that Avery heard every word he said, his eyes burning with determination and certainty."Your fashions in the marketplace are to be taken down immediately, both your physical stores and your online stores. You're not to advertise any of your merchandise. I have made my decision," Mark adds with a hint of arrogance in his voice.He couldn't deny how excited he was to see Jeremy and Avery in the situation they found themselves in. For the first time since Jeremy had entered the hall, Mark finally felt like he had won something.The feeling was actually fulfilling and he decided to bask in it an

CHAPTER 508THE DECREE Mr Mark was actually shocked and surprised when he looked into the eyes of Jeremy who sat there unperturbed.It was Jeremy's confidence in him that shook him with all uncertainty and reason.He knew that Jeremy's words were just words, because it wasn't possible for the board members to arrive so quickly.They knew about the meeting and had given Mark permission to do the right thing and make decisions on their behalf.So it was hard to believe that anyone could overrule them and bring them to the meeting."What nonsense are you talking?" Mr Mark asked a confused Jeremy, his eyes burning into Jeremy's as he wondered why he had made such a statement without any certainty that it was true."I know you're stupid, but I didn't know you were also a liar Jeremy Nathaniel," Mark said with a sneer on his lips, his eyes meeting his with equal challenge as he looked into his eyes."You think I don't know what you're trying to do and the confusion you're causing, I know y

CHAPTER 510SHOCKMr. Gabriel bowed slightly to Jeremy to everyone's surprise. They never expected the states head to stoop so low as to bow to Jeremy.Mr. Mark was so surprised, why would their overall states head bow to Jeremy? Who was Jeremy, and what power did he have over their overall leader?He was a little confused about what was happening, but he decided to just watch it all unfold.He looked over at Jeremy and saw the man sitting so calmly that he didn't even say anything to Mr. Gabriel. He just sat there very pompous but today was going to be the end of him and his wife and he was going to make sure of it.The crowd where all stunt, this was the first time they had ever seen Mr. Gabriel bowed to anyone and he was even someone who was not in a known position in society."We are so sorry, Mr. Jeremy. I promise this will never happen again," Mr. Gabriel apologized, fidgeting with his hands, he didn't like being in a position like this."Do you know what this association has do

CHAPTER 510AMBASSADOR DEAL"I'm very Mr Jeremy, what happened didn't go the way I had planned," Mark said in a sad tone, his voice brimming with the complications raging through him and how much he was struggling to control his emotions."We had to investigate or even threaten to get the truth. We weren't sure if your wife was telling the truth," Mr Mark went on to defend himself, his eyes shining with such sincerity that Jeremy didn't know what to say or how to respond."What nonsense are you talking about? Can you even listen to the words you're spewing out and how ridiculous you sound?" Mr Gabriel was the one who answered.He knew that Jeremy was already offended and that he would not stand up for his man, but rather reprimand him for the actions he had committed against them."You knew our investigative procedures and how thorough we have always been. Then you went ahead and condemned your company without getting all the facts, I'm forced to believe you had an ulterior motive,"
