Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Two
As the chairman tilted his head to confirm that there was nobody there with them, he was ready to spill the secret. Adrian Blood leaned to those shadows, and he was not sighted even for a moment. Yet the chairman decided to speak in whispers."Hey, system. I need to use my vital points. Enhanced hearing!" Adrian Blood chose at once, and the system quickly obeyed. The whispers became loud in his ears, and he heard every single word clearly."Your mother was not the only one who cheated." Federico told his son the truth. He needed not to explain in higher terms, no did he needed to narrate the entire history before the understanding could reach Ricardo's mind.Many years ago, young Federico Rodriguez had had to marry Evelyn for the annexation of her family's wealth. At that time, the Rodriguez family had only less than a tenth of their current wealth. With Evelyn's family company Holdings, the Rodriguez company would skyrocket into the skies. The marriage was quick and blessed by both f
Chapter One Hundred Thirty-One
Following the faint memories in his head, Adrian Blood found the paths that led downstairs. The way was unfamiliar, and the system helped him very little. Then he was about to give up when he heard their voices, father and son. After that came their footsteps, edging towards his direction from the right side.Adrian Blood quickly lodged himself away from their path. He leaned against the wall as Federico Rodriguez and Ricardo passed slowly, almost in silence now. That was until Ricardo broke the silence again. "So you are not angry at me?" He asked his father, who was in front. The chairman walked slowly and calmly, even though by the gait of his advance, one could tell how much of a hurry he actually was. He wanted to meet this Hans Zimmer as soon as possible. He had a lot of questions that he needed to ask him. He did not expect that Ricardo would be the one to burden him with questions along the way. Yet he still found the need to give him an answer."No, Ricardo. You are not the
Chapter One Hundred Thirty
When Ricardo Rodriguez and Federico Rodriguez were ironing out that issue, Adrian Blood was busy kissing their sister and daughter in all the right places, yet he was privy to everything they discussed. Every word they said, every statement they made."CEO BLOOD, THE RECORDING WILL NOT CONTINUE ONCE THE CHAIRMAN LEAVES THE ROOM WITH HIS SON..." The system informed Adrian as soon as Federico and Ricardo walked towards the door and were ready to leave the room.Adrian did not feel a loss at that point. He had been able to get a little from their little conversation. Now he knew that Ricardo Rodriguez was the one who captured Hans Zimmer after all. He also knew where the poor man was being held now, he knew where to look for him.If Hans Zimmer was abducted by Ricardo Rodriguez, did that mean that Amanda Wallers was also in that basement? Adrian needed to find out. He needed to follow the chairman and his son secretly, he needed to see the basement for himself. But he was stuck with Lya
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Nine
"You are wrong, father. I did not take Hans Zimmer just to gain your honour." Ricardo said, cutting the chairman off his inferences and conclusions. "I did not kidnap him to gain your recognition."The chairman stared back into his son's eyes. "Then why?" He asked with his low voice, hard and thick.Ricardo attempted to say something, but then he held his tongue and remained silent. He could not say the truth. "I can't." He muttered.Where was he going to start from. How he grew so jealous of his sister that he decided to murder her? How he realized that he was no match for Lyana's genius so he attempted to kill her not once, not twice and not even thrice? He just could not do it.Meanwhile, Federico's suspicions only grew deeper with his reluctance. Maybe Adrian Blood was right after all. Ricardo had devilish plans towards his own father. Why else would he keep it a secret? Why else would he be unable to tell him what was on his mind? Why else would the question be so difficult to an
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Eight
Chairman Rodriguez returned to his seat with the walking gait of a general in the military. He took his seat calmly and watched as Ricardo entered slowly and closed the door."What is this about, Father?"The chairman, instead of saying an answer to him, pointed to the empty seat in front of him. Ricardo sighed, still full of fury as he approached the chair and dropped on it. Federico Rodriguez leaned forward, placing his hands on the table between them."There are some questions I have to ask you, son." He started slowly but surely.Ricardo quickly spoke back. "There are some questions I have for you too, father. And I would like to go first."The chairman did not have the time to respond as his son continued."Is it true that you let mother die because you were busy having sex with that woman?""That woman is your stepmother." Federico Rodriguez corrected him at once. He was well sad at the fact that his children were now aware of what he thought was his secret, but he would not acc
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Seven
Ann, the new maid, was returning from the washroom. She had just escaped the close call with the old woman, Julia, who found her out as the one who had tried to poison the chairman. Ann had spent several months preparing for that murder. She had learnt about many ways to kill an aristocrat who had wealth and plenty. The only possible way she could settle with was poisoning.Yet no poison would kill a rich man with so much easy. They had enormous funds for urgent medical care, and they had all the facilities to revive themselves. Thus, she had to find that poison that kills in the fastest way possible. The water-blood poison was the best thing she could find. She spent several days leaning about this deadly thing. How to get it, a very rare thing to find. How to handle it, a very volatile thing to hold. How to use it, a very dangerous thing in the wrong hands. She had learnt all this, and she had prepared herself all because of one man, all because of Federico Rodriguez. The man who d
