James Ferguson sat at the back of his black sedan, his eyes blank, not a single emotion in them, and even as the car drove towards the Ferguson Corporation, he could see the large number of people who were protesting.Yet it didn't seem to matter to him, because for him, this was just a setback, one that he would bounce back from soon.As the car came to a halt, reporters rushed to his car, trying to get even just a glimpse of him, while his security team was fighting so hard to keep them away, but now, it was not going easily for them."Mr. Ferguson, are the accusations laid upon you true, did you truly try to ruin the Blackwell Corporation?""Was it because you wanted the City View contract that you had gone to that extent?"More and more questions kept coming his way, but he did not dare to reply to any of them, he couldn't, not until he knew what exactly was happening at his company right now.He ignored every single question, his men shielding him from the crowd that seemed like

With what the manager had told Paul he was initially suspicious. But recalling how well he had been treated from the moment he arrived to the point where the manager had asked if he needed anything else alongside the wine he had begun to relax slightly."I am fine. I just want my money and to get out of here." He growled trying to appear patient which was not working very well on his end."You have absolutely nothing to worry about. I am almost done and it should be ready very shortly now."The manager continued to reassure him with a warm smile knowing fully well that if he made a mistake it was not going to end well for him.But Paul had heard those same words more times than he could count and right now they meant absolutely nothing to him.After a while Paul rose to his feet. He had heard enough."I think that is it. I cannot sit here any longer knowing fully well that you have no real intention of helping me.""Mr. Hayes." The manager opened his mouth ready to deliver another rou

Paul sat at the manager's office at City Bank, the manager had assured him that in less than twenty minutes, the payment should have been processed.But even when it was past twenty minutes, he tried to be calm, believing that there was probably a slight delay and it should be ready soon.But after it had passed an hour, his patience was starting to grow thin, he could no longer bear it and had to turn to the manager, who seemed to be attending to other things at that time."Sir!" Paul called softly, trying to keep that authoritative edge, after all he had been told that he was a top VIP, and as such, they should treat him that way."You promised me that the money should be in the account that I gave you in less than twenty minutes, but it has been more than an hour, and I have not received the money, worse, you are not saying a word to me""Apologies sir. And first I want to thank you for being patient with me at a moment like this, when it seems like our bank is not competent enough

After Daniel and his mother had left the table, Theresa took a few more bites before her eyes fell on her phone.She picked up the phone and was about to make a few calls when she saw the notifications that kept popping up on her phone.Her eyes flew wide open in shock at the news, almost every site and social media account had an audio playing of the men behind it and how they had been paid a huge sum by the Ferguson family to ruin the Blackwells.Theresa kept scrolling with immense shock at the news as she wondered how they were able to get all this information.But after scrolling through for a while with more details as to how the cops had found the evidence on his body when they found him, she was now certain that this was all his doing.And now, she knew that it was Daniel who had done all of this. The more she got to know about him, the more intrigued she became at the things he can do, which makes her even more curious about the other things he does for her that she isn't awar

"Is everything alright?" Paul asked, seeing the change in his expression."Oh, not at all, the payment has been processed and would be credited to your account in the next fifteen to twenty minutes"After all this while Paul had been at the bank, it was now that a smile finally spread across his face. It was not just relief, but the fact that he was finally rich.All his cousins and relatives who had always mocked him and saw him as something useless, he could finally brag to them.Even though the money had not yet landed in his account, Paul could not help himself as he began to think of cars he would buy.At first he had thought of just one car, it would probably be a Rolls Royce, but when he thought about the number of guards he would need to protect him, he immediately realized that he was going to need more than just one car.Matter of fact, he needed a convoy!*****Daniel was having breakfast with his wife, expecting her to go through her phone so she could see for herself the

Paul tried to remain very calm, and in a few minutes' time, the manager, a man in his early forties, rushed downstairs with a wide grin on his face.He had just been informed that a VIP customer had arrived, and although he could not fathom why the VIP had decided to stay downstairs rather than coming upstairs.But then he remembered that most of them liked to show up themselves in a grand style each time they arrived at the bank, making sure that they were seen enough.But as he walked downstairs, it was certainly not what he had expected to see. It was a man in his middle age, dressed very simply, or rather what the manager would refer to as rags.Yet he knew fully well how most of them would want to conceal their identity as much as some would want to reveal their identity."Good day, sir," the manager greeted once he stood in front of him in a very polite manner, in fact that was the most polite he could go, since his head was almost touching the ground."Good day," Paul said brie
