CHAPTER 171
For a moment, everyone stopped. The women who had been moving backward suddenly became still.The security guards also stopped shouting. Even George and Mrs Clifford turned around at the same time.Everyone looked toward the direction of the voice.Mrs Suko's face immediately became angry."Who said that?" she demanded.Her voice was loud enough to make the women become silent.Johnson slowly repeated himself."I said no one is going home."Mrs Suko stared at him. She could not believe what she had just heard.Only a few moments earlier, she had made an example of George because of the way he had spoken to her. She had expected everyone else to be too afraid to challenge her.But now another person had the courage to stand against her order."Who are you?" Mrs Suko asked angrily.Johnson did not answer immediately.Mrs Clifford and George were still staring at him.Mrs Clifford's eyes widened as soon as she recognized him."Johnson," she said without even realizing that his name had e
CHAPTER 172
The security guards adjusted their batons and started rushing toward Johnson.Mrs. Hughes became extremely worried."Johnson!" she shouted.Johnson did not move."Johnson, please run!"He remained where he was."Run for your life!" Mrs. Hughes cried again. "They are coming to hurt you!"Johnson looked at her calmly."Mrs. Hughes, don't worry.""How can I not worry?" she asked anxiously. "Look at them!"The security guards were getting closer."They are going to beat you. Please, Johnson, leave this place!"Johnson remained completely emotionless. His face was calm and his body was relaxed.He maintained his composure as though the security guards were not even coming for him.Mrs. Hughes could not understand his confidence."Johnson, please!"But Johnson did not run.Behind them, Mrs. Clifford and George had completely forgotten about the pain and humiliation they had suffered earlier.They were secretly smiling.They watched the guards moving toward Johnson with satisfaction.Mrs. Cl
CHAPTER 173
Samuel's question sent a shocking wave through the three women standing in front of him, including Mrs Suko.The way Samuel had asked the question made it clear that he was extremely angry.The women looked at one another. Nobody answered immediately.Samuel waited for a few seconds. His face remained serious."Who is the leader of this Arrows Hill women organization?" he asked again.This time, his voice was much louder.Every woman around the complex heard him clearly.The old women became silent.Mrs Clifford looked at Mrs Suko.George also remained quiet.Mrs Suko finally stepped forward. She walked toward Samuel and Johnson."I am the leader," she said.Samuel looked at her.Mrs Suko quickly continued."Those women woke up today and started causing problems. They came here and created a lot of trouble."Samuel looked at her with disgust. He did not respond immediately.Instead, he turned his attention toward the women.He looked at their tired faces. He saw the fear in their eyes
CHAPTER 174
Mrs Suko was still holding her face after Samuel Briggs slapped her. The pain was clear on her face, but the shock she felt was even greater.She had never imagined that someone would dare to slap her in front of so many people.For the past four years, she had controlled the Arrows Hill women organization and enjoyed the benefits that came with the position. Now, everything seemed to be falling apart in front of her.She slowly lowered her hands from her face and looked at Samuel.“Mr Briggs, please,” she said in a trembling voice. “I am sorry. Please, I beg you to forgive me.”Samuel looked at her without showing any sympathy.Mrs Suko quickly moved closer to him. Then, to everyone's surprise, she fell to her knees at his feet.“Please, Mr Briggs, I am begging you. I will return the money. I will refund every woman here, including their annual interest. Please, just give me another chance.”Samuel looked down at her.“Did you hear what Sir Johnson told you?” he asked coldly.Mrs Suk
CHAPTER 175
Mrs Clifford's eyes widened.George also stared at Samuel in disbelief.Samuel Briggs was taking instructions from Johnson. He had even called him “Sir Johnson” in front of everyone.Mrs Clifford could not understand what was happening.George looked at Johnson, then at Samuel. He tried to find a reasonable explanation for what he had witnessed.After a moment, he leaned closer to Mrs Clifford and whispered, “Mom, I think I understand what is happening.”Mrs Clifford turned toward him.“What do you mean?”George lowered his voice further.“Samuel is respecting him because he was the person the guards were about to hit. Johnson stood up for those women, and Samuel probably appreciates his courage.”Mrs Clifford listened carefully.George continued, “That may be why Samuel is obeying him and calling him Sir.”Mrs Clifford nodded repeatedly.“Yes. That must be it.”She tried to convince herself that George's explanation made sense. She did not want to consider the possibility that Johnso
CHAPTER 176
Johnson sat quietly in the taxi as it moved along the road toward McArthur Mansion. His mind was filled with several thoughts.He kept wondering how some people could be so wicked that they would take other people's hard-earned money without feeling any shame.The women had worked hard and trusted their leaders to protect their contributions, yet those leaders had turned against them.“How can someone sleep peacefully after stealing money that belongs to so many people?” Johnson murmured to himself.He shook his head slowly.“Those women trusted them, but they used that trust to enrich themselves. It is terrible.”He remembered Mrs Suko kneeling before Samuel and begging for forgiveness after she had ordered the security guards to break his legs.QHe also remembered the fear on the faces of the old women when they thought they would never recover their money.Johnson sighed.“I hope Mummy Hughes will do the right thing and help those women recover everything that belongs to them.”He
CHAPTER 177
Fidelis remained frozen, holding his phone in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the screen, and his lips remained slightly open. He could hardly believe what he was seeing. The name displayed on his phone was enough to make his heart beat faster.“Fidelis, what is it? Is it Suko calling?” Boss Jerry asked.Fidelis did not answer. He seemed to have lost the ability to speak. His friends exchanged confused looks as they watched him. None of them understood why he had suddenly become so frightened.“Fidelis!” Boss Jerry called again, raising his voice. “I am asking you a question. Is everything all right?”That question finally brought Fidelis back to his senses. He swallowed hard and slowly turned to face the men sitting around him.“It is Suko,” he answered in a low voice.The moment those words left his mouth, the atmosphere changed. The men became quiet, and the little confidence they had managed to gather disappeared.Boss Jerry stared at him.“So, I was right,” he said. “I knew it w
CHAPTER 178
Fidelis looked at Boss Jerry again. The confusion on his face was now impossible to hide.“What is he talking about?” one of the men whispered.“I do not know,” Fidelis whispered back.Suko continued.“You think I do not know the tricks you are playing?”Fidelis's eyes widened.“Tricks, sir?”“Yes, tricks! Do you think I am a fool?”“No, sir. I would never think that.”“Then explain to me why you are pretending to be workers at the orphanage!”Fidelis froze.For several seconds, he could not form a single word.“Workers?” he finally managed to ask.“Yes, workers! You people are not good at kidnapping at all!”Suko's laughter returned, louder than before.Fidelis felt as though the ground beneath him had suddenly disappeared. He turned towards Boss Jerry, who was now staring at him with his mouth slightly open.“Sir, I do not understand what you mean,” Fidelis said carefully.“Do not pretend with me!” Suko shouted. “You want to hide among the workers at the orphanage before you kidnap
CHAPTER 179
The friends looked at one another after Boss Jerry asked his question. Suko's words had made one thing clear to them.Suko had threatened them, given them one week to deliver the children, and laughed at them for pretending to be workers at the orphanage.Yet he had no idea that they were no longer working for him in the way he expected.Boss Jerry slowly stood up from his seat."Listen, everyone. I think I now understand what is happening," he said.The men turned towards him."What do you mean, Boss?" Fidelis asked.Boss Jerry placed both hands on the table and looked at them seriously."Suko has an eye on us. Someone is watching our movements and reporting them to him. That is why he knew we were at the orphanage.""Then he must have a spy among the workers," one of the men suggested."That is possible," Boss Jerry replied."But whoever this spy is, there is something he does not know.""What is that?" another man asked."He does not know that we are no longer carrying out Suko's d
CHAPTER 180
Gibson Mencho was stunned by Johnson's sudden decision. He had expected Johnson to ask for more details about the investigation, but he never imagined that he would want to call the mysterious person directly.For a few seconds, Gibson remained silent as he tried to understand what Johnson intended to do.“Sir, did I hear you correctly?” Gibson finally asked.“Yes, Gibson. You heard me correctly. I want to call the person myself.”Gibson took a deep breath before answering.“Sir, I understand your desire to discover the truth, but I must warn you about the possible dangers.”“We have been trying to uncover this person's identity for a long time, and each time we make progress, something happens to stop us.”“That is not something we should take lightly.”Johnson leaned back on the sofa.“I understand your concern, Gibson. But what exactly do you think will happen if I call?”“Sir, the person may be dangerous. If the person discovers that you are interested in the investigation, they m
