"Mother, this calls for a Celebration." Mark grinned as he couldn't believe his eyes while going through the papers.
Mabel nodded in agreement, she too was not expecting Zoey to be able to secure a contract and was surprised. "I bet it must be some kind of dumb luck." Mark grinned and stood up. He was ready to go and show off the contract. Now, the Clarkson family was going to become invincible; they were directly affiliated with a first-tier company, and this was a huge boost. As long as they maintained the contract, even a first-tier family wouldn't be willing to offend them; after all, Skyline Technologies was one of the most powerful companies in the whole of North Hampton. "Excuse me, may I come in." A deep male voice came just as Mark was about to leave. "Yes come in," Mark yelled, not caring about who might be at the door. He was very happy and thus wouldn't give a damn at the moment. The next moment, a tall lanky figure walked into the sitting room holding a briefcase with a smile on his face. "Mr. Benson!" Mabel's eyes opened wide in shock, seeing the figures, and instantly jumped out of the couch where she was relaxing. Mark was a little bit slow because he was shocked and by the time he recovered, his mother had already invited Mr. Benson into the house. "Sorry for my son's rudeness earlier, we didn't know it was you." Mabel apologized bowing low. "You don't have to bow," Mr. Benson shook his head, swallowing his Saliva. Even though he was the manager of Skyline Technologies and many heads of prominent families would have to be respectful in front of him, these sets of people were not ordinary. "If I may ask, where is Miss Zoey Clarkson?" He requested, looking at Mabel. "Zoey left just now. May I ask what it is that you want with her?" Mabel replied, trying to keep her voice as neutral as she could. Her heart was beating with excitement, though she didn't know what Mr. Benson came to do, she still hoped that it was something positive. "It's nothing much." Benson laughed, waving his hands, sweat gathered on his forehead. "I came to collect the contract signed by Miss Zoey so that it can take effect." "Ohh that." Mark laughed and then brought out the contract. "Here it is." He continued and handed the contract to Benson. Benson nodded and then took the contract from Mark before going through it carefully. "If I may ask, was it Miss Zoey who signed the contract?" Benson questioned after a while. "No, it's not Zoey who signed the contract. She's unfit to handle it and she's married to a criminal." Mark blurted out almost immediately. "There's no way we would allow someone like her to handle the contract." "So, I just took her place and signed it instead." He continued. Hearing this, Benson's expression changed, and immediately, he dropped the contract and then stood up. "Huh?" Mabel and Mark froze seeing this wondering what was wrong. "Mr. Benson, is anything wrong?" Mabel asked slowly. "I'm afraid we'll have to sue you for a breach of contract terms," Benson said, his voice turning strict. "We...we don't understand how we breached the contract...." Mabel stuttered, not knowing what to do. "On the contract page, it was stated that only Miss Zoey was allowed to sign the contract and she would be in charge of the contract from the beginning to the end. If you fail to meet this condition, then you'll have to compensate us." Benson uttered calmly, looking at the horrified expression on Mark's and Mabel's faces. "But I just read through the contract and I didn't see anything that's about that...." Mark stuttered as he tried to argue. "Check the last page at the bottom, you'll find it there." Benson enunciated. Instantly, Mark rushed forward and took the contract, opened to the last page, and just as Benson had said, there was the contract Clause. "Next time, open your eyes and read the clauses from the top to the bottom." Benson sneered and walked towards the door. "Sir, how are we going to rectify this?" Mabel yelled as she ran after Benson who was walking out of the house. "I'm afraid you have only two options," Benson stated, turning around to face Mabel. "First is to get Miss Zoey to sign the contract, and second, you take the brunt of breaking one of the contract Clauses." Benson was still wondering in his heart where the Clarkson family had their guts from. Didn't they know who Jordan was? Even though he also didn't know Jordan's real identity, he knew that Jordan was someone who was able to force the higher-ups of the company to bend his rules. If one were to read the contract Clauses well, then they would discover that it was just so damn good to be true and this was because it all came from Jordan. Also, there was going to be no penalty if the contract Clause was broken by Zoey and this was only if she was the one who broke it. Yet, they couldn't see all of these and still went ahead to snatch it away from her. He had to say that they were a little bit gusty. "Mr. Benson, isn't there another way round to this?" Mabel inquired, the fury in her voice could be felt. "No, there's no way around it, and for your information, you have just three days to get Miss Zoey to sign the contract, or else you will face the consequences.." Benson voiced, his voice turning serious towards the end. "When you are ready, you can take this contract to her and make her sign it; else you will be facing whatever the company decides." Benson continued and then pulled out another contract from the briefcase he was holding. "Wishing you all good luck with whatever you decide." He added and then turned around and left under the gazes of Mabel and Mark.

Last In The World
(The Next Day)"Master," Azure Dragon's figure flashed, appearing beside Jordan, who was staring at the building before him."What's it Jasper," Jordan responded, not turning around to look at Azure Dragon who was standing beside him."I think the Brown family and the Harrison Family didn't listen to your warning," Azure Dragon beamed as he reported, feeling elated.This was one of the few times Jordan had actually called his real name. Most of the people who knew him didn't know his name. Even the five regiment commanders could barely remember.They were all used to addressing him as Azure Dragon. Though he didn't mind, he was always happy if by chance Jordan addressed him that way and he did today."I knew they were not going to listen to me," Jordan chuckled, pulling Azure Dragon out of his thoughts."But....""I didn't want those old men to accuse me of wiping out a whole family just because they attacked me, so I thought of warning them first," Jordan continued with a chuckle."N
Severe Warning
"And you are?" Bruce frowned, stepping forward, his brows narrowing into a thin line. The guards at the moment also spread out, surrounding Jordan and Azure Dragon. But the two didn't even spare them a glance and just walked towards the sofa like they owned the place. "Ask your grandson and his friend, they know who I am," Jordan answered calmly, sitting on the sofa while Azure Dragon stood by his side, alert. "Mason, who is he?" Bruce instantly turned to his grandson, who looked like he had lost his soul at the moment. His body trembled, his eyes opened wide as though they would bulge out of their sockets.. Jake was no different. He couldn't forget the humiliation and beating he went through in the hands of Azure Dragon. "I....I don't..don't know him...." Mason stuttered, denying the fact he knew Jordan. "Yes...yes... We don't.. know who they are..." Jake chipped in, stuttering, his eyes never leaving Azure Dragon. Bruce's expression changed seeing this. From the way
Perfect Timing
"Master, everything has been taken care of," Azure Dragon reported, staring at Jordan who was standing right outside the house. It had been an hour since the incident. After Jordan and Mia arrived home. Sarah was already asleep. Well, Jordan informed her they would be arriving late, so there was no need for her to wait up. After placing Zoey gently on the bed, he walked out of the house with Mia and waited for Azure who arrived with the car all repaired after an hour. Jordan was planning to keep what had happened away from his wife, so he needed to clean all traces and Azure Dragon knew this well. "I'm sure you want to know who sent the assassin right?" Jordan chuckled, breaking the silence, turning to Azure Dragon and Mia. Mia and Azure Dragon didn't say anything, but their expression screamed yes. "The assassin was sent by the joint effort of two people," Jordan chuckled as he revealed, a hint of amusement in his voice. He couldn't remember the last time someone tried t
He's Too Loud
"Azure Dragon, head South, at the top of a sky scraper, that's where the assassin is," Jordan commanded, a glint flashing in his eyes.He had to make sure whoever was behind this pay. As for how he knew the position of the assassin, he had already locked onto the man after the first shot.So even if the Azure Dragon and Mia didn't come, Jordan would still have been able to track the assassin."Yes sir," Azure Dragon nodded, his figure vanishing from sight.Mia on the other hand hurriedly opened the door of the car, helping Jordan alight from the car with Zoey in his arms.Only after seeing that Zoey was fine did Mia heave in a sigh of relief.If anything had happened to her, she wasn't sure if anyone could bear Jordan's wrath."Thud!"Soon after, a bloodied figure was thrown roughly onto the floor, rolling and hitting the car with a loud bang.At the same time, Azure Dragon's figure appeared and grabbed the figure he had just thrown on the floor, pulling him up and forcing him to knee
Attacked
Hours later, Zoey stepped out of the company looking worn out and tried.She had finally managed to finish what she was doing. But it came with a little bit of consequence, it was already dark.Since Jordan believed in her and had invested so much into the project, she couldn't let it go to waste, so she decided to work overtime that day so she could set things up."Get in, it's later already," Jordan's voice sounded, pulling Zoey out of her thoughts, a car pulled up before her.Nodding slightly, she got into the car and glanced at Jordan who was driving."Thanks for waiting for me, hubby..." Zoey muttered weakly, glancing at Jordan who was driving."If I didn't wait for you, who will," Jordan chuckled looking over at his wife before concentrating on the road."Besides, next time, don't work so hard, take it slowly," Jordan continued, glancing over at Zoey whose head was now on the seat, her eyes closed.A faint gentle snore came from her showing she was fast asleep.Seeing this, Jord
Teasing Zoey
(Five Days Later)"Jordan, Jordan, I have something for you," Zoey called as she hurried into the office, glancing at Jordan who was sprawled lazily on the sofa.Ever since Jordan took back his company from the Garrison family, he had stopped going out except when needed and would always accompany Zoey to work and be with her all day.According to him, this was the best form of repayment he could give her. Also, it was only under his watch that she was truly safe. It wasn't as though he didn't trust Mia and the rest, but he felt it wasn't still enough."What did you just call me?" Jordan sat up lazily, sitting up from where he was laying looking at Zoey who had run into the office excitedly."Jordan?" Zoey repeated, blinking confusedly."Was that what we agreed on?" Jordan raised his brows, staring at Zoey."But..but we are not at home..." Zoey stuttered her face going red as she understood what Jordan wanted her to do."Seems like you don't want me to check what you have for me," Jo
