CHAPTER 161
El Mayo did not hesitate to answer because he clearly understood the seriousness of what had happened.He knew exactly what it meant to track a vehicle connected to the McArthur family.“Mr. Peterson, I did not do it intentionally.” Mr. Peterson looked at him without saying anything.El Mayo quickly continued. “The person who wanted the job was George Anderson.”“George Anderson?” Mr. Peterson asked.“Yes, sir.” El Mayo nodded.“What did George Anderson want?” He asked again.“He wanted me to get a commoner.”Mr Peterson frowned. “A commoner?”“Yes. That was what I was told.” El Mayo took a deep breath. “But there was a mistake.”“What mistake?” Mr. Peterson frowned.“George gave me a picture.” He continued.Mr Peterson stared at him. “A picture of whom?”“The person he wanted me to deal with.” “And?” El Mayo swallowed hard. “The picture was not of the commoner he described.”Mr Peterson's expression became harder. “What are you trying to say?”“I was given the wrong picture.” H
CHAPTER 162
Johnson also accepted what Samuel Briggs had said. He knew there were two matters in front of them, and although both were important, he understood that finding out what Mia knew about him could not be delayed.At the same time, he wanted to make sure that there was no threat to the children and their caregivers. The thought of Suko and the children kept troubling his mind, but the possibility that his identity was being revealed was something he could not ignore either.If Mia had somehow discovered his true identity, then he could not even imagine what would happen next. Johnson closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. He remained silent for a few seconds before opening his eyes and looking at Samuel.“We will get to it immediately,” Johnson said calmly.Samuel nodded. “Yes, Young Master.”Johnson reached into his pocket and brought out his phone. He unlocked it and searched through his contacts for a while before finally finding Mia's name. He stared at the contact for

The clock was not moving as fast as Johnson wanted. Every minute that passed made him more impatient.He kept looking at the big wall clock in front of him, watching the hands move slowly.Samuel noticed how restless he had become and smiled slightly.“Young Master, be calm,” Samuel said. “In thirty minutes, you will meet with her and know everything.”Johnson looked at him.“Thirty minutes still feels like a very long time.”Samuel chuckled softly. “I understand, Young Master, but there is nothing you can do to make the clock move faster.”Johnson sighed and looked at the clock again.“I just want to know what she knows.”“You will know everything,” Samuel assured him.“Just keep it exactly as I have told you. You will know everything.”Johnson nodded slowly. “You are right.”He remained seated for a few more moments before another thought came to his mind.“How many minutes will a taxi take me to Havilla Restaurant from here?”Samuel thought for a moment before answering.“It is abo
CHAPTER 164
Johnson remained very quiet, simply listening to Mia.She had asked the question and expected him to react immediately, but Johnson remained as calm as though the question did not concern him at all.Mia looked at him with surprise.“You are not going to answer me?” she asked.Johnson remained silent.Mia sighed and continued speaking.“Brother Johnson, I know you are my brother from the orphanage. Apart from you being my brother, I know how difficult life was for you.” “I know how hard you worked to sponsor your education. I know the kind of life you lived.”Johnson continued listening.“But the sudden changes in you are what I don't understand,”Mia continued. “You suddenly became so influential. You have access to so much money, and people who are far more powerful than us seem to respect you. How did all these happen so suddenly?”Johnson remained quiet.Mia's serious expression slowly changed. The suspicion on her face began to disappear, and she looked more like someone who gen
CHAPTER 165
The women were still quiet, simply looking at the three older women with disgust. None of them seemed concerned about the protest or the angry crowd standing before them.One of the three women slowly turned toward the head of the security guards. She called him closer and whispered something into his ear.The security guard listened carefully and nodded.Without wasting any time, he turned around and rushed toward the protesting women with a baton in his hand.The women did not understand what was happening.“Please, what are you doing?” one of them asked.The security guard did not answer.He raised the baton and struck the first woman.“Ah!” the woman screamed in pain.The other women immediately stepped backward in shock.The head of security shouted at the other guards.“Beat them! Push them out of this place!”The other security guards immediately moved forward.“Please, don't hit us!” one of the women cried.But the guards did not listen. They started hitting the women with the

Mrs Clifford, who had almost forgotten the pain in her arm because of the praises she was receiving, turned toward the women.She made sure her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear her clearly.“Do not worry,” she assured them. “I will call my son-in-law, and he will come here and help us retrieve our money.”The women immediately became happy.“Thank you, Mrs Clifford!”“We knew you would help us!”“Your son-in-law will surely help us!”“Please call him!”Mrs Clifford smiled confidently.“I will call him. Just remain calm.”The women nodded happily. They were now looking at Mrs Clifford with renewed hope.That same morning, Johnson decided to go out for a road walk. He walked for quite some time, but after a while, he became exhausted.“I have walked enough,” he said to himself.He decided to trek back home.As Johnson walked along the road, he suddenly noticed a large crowd of women gathered outside a complex.He slowed down and looked at them.“What are those women gathering
CHAPTER 167
The women continued singing praises of Mrs. Clifford. Their voices filled the area as they gathered around her, making her feel even more important than before.“Mrs. Clifford, you are a good woman!”“You are the one who will save us!”“We are lucky to have you here with us!”“Your son-in-law will surely help us!”Mrs. Clifford smiled proudly as she listened to them. She looked at the women one after another before raising her hand.“Please, calm down,” she said. “I have already told you that my son-in-law is coming. In less than ten minutes from now, he will be here, and all your problems will be solved.”The women immediately became excited.“We believe you!”“Yes, Mrs. Clifford!”“We know he will help us!”“He will make them return our money!”Mrs. Clifford nodded confidently.“I know my son-in-law very well. Once he hears what happened to us, he will not sit down and watch those women continue with their corruption.”One of the women raised her voice.“They must return our money!”
CHAPTER 168
“Young Master, I said your tracker stopped at Mrs. Edward McArthur Memorial Complex.”Johnson smiled when he heard Samuel's words.There was something about the name that caught his attention immediately. Instead of becoming worried, he found the situation amusing.Samuel, however, did not understand why Johnson suddenly sounded amused.“Young Master?” Samuel called again.“Yes, Samuel?”“Why are you smiling?”Johnson chuckled softly.“I am not smiling at anything in particular.”Samuel became even more curious.“But you sounded amused when I mentioned the name of the place.”Johnson looked toward the women who were still standing around George.“Samuel, how did that place get the name Mrs Edward McArthur Memorial Complex?”Samuel was quiet for a moment.“Young Master, are you asking about the history of the complex?”“Yes. Tell me how it came about.”Samuel took a deep breath before explaining.“The complex was built five years after Mr Edward lost his wife and child.”Johnson's expr
CHAPTER 169
The guard hurriedly rushed into the complex to inform Madam about the man who was waiting outside.George remained confidently in front of the complex. He stood with his hands by his side and watched the entrance without showing any sign of fear.The other security guards kept looking at him.“Who is this man?” one of them whispered.“I don't know,” another guard replied.“He does not look afraid at all.”“I noticed that too.”The head of security remained silent. He also kept looking at George, trying to understand who could give him such confidence.Minutes passed.George looked at the entrance again.Nobody came out.He checked the time and became impatient.“What is taking them so long?” he muttered.Mrs Clifford was still outside with the other women. She watched George closely.One of the women whispered to another.“Why haven't they come out?”“I don't know.”“Maybe they are afraid of him.”Mrs Clifford heard them and smiled.“They will come out,” she said confidently. “My son-
CHAPTER 170
George remained completely still.He could not even look at Mrs Clifford, who was standing beside him and asking him questions. His eyes remained fixed on Mrs Suko.Mrs Clifford could not understand what had suddenly happened to the bold George she knew.A few moments ago, he had confidently walked into the compound and threatened to make the women refund the money they had taken.Now he was standing there as if he had suddenly lost all his strength.“George?” Mrs Clifford called.George did not respond.She looked at him again.“George, are you okay?”Still, George said nothing.Mrs Clifford became more confused.“George, what is wrong with you?”This time, George slowly turned and looked at her.Mrs Clifford searched his face for an answer, but he said nothing.Mrs Suko and the other two women were also watching them.They remained calm and confident.The atmosphere became unusually quiet.After a long moment, George finally spoke.His voice still carried the confidence he had shown
