"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.

Does The Owen Family Know?
In a flash, three hours passed, Jordan and Azure Dragon were still where they were, no one saying anything to each other. Azure Dragon stood silently besides Jordan, watching every single thing in the surroundings, ready to attack anything that looked more like a threat. Jordan on the other hand sat on the bonnet of the car, staring into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking. His expression was blank and it didn't look like he was thinking about anything. He was just there, staring into the silence, not knowing what to do. He could still remember the content of the letter clearly. No matter how he tried, he couldn't find a hint to what he wanted. Who exactly were his parents? Just how strong were they to be able to look into his divination? Could it be that they had seen everything that was supposed to happen to him? A lot of thoughts ran through his mind at the moment and he didn't even know where to start. In a flash, another hour went by again. The silence rem
The Letter That Has Been Unread For Twenty-Seven Years
"Drive safely dear," Ava waved at Jordan who had gotten into the car. Azure Dragon nodded and started the car driving away almost immediately. Ava watched as the car disappeared from sight, shook her head and walked slowly back to the orphanage. She also has no idea who Jordan's parents were. At the same time, she had no idea what was inside the metallic box. Though it had been with her for a while twenty seven years, she had never tried to open it to know what was inside. Shaking her head, she could only hope Jordan was going to find the answers he wanted. Jordan and Azure Dragon on the other hand drove slowly along the highway. The silence in the car was a little bit heavy. No one was saying anything. "Remember to offer some financial aid to the orphanage when we get back," Jordan finally broke the silence, his voice a little bit hoarse. "Yes sir," Azure Dragon nodded, his eyes still on the road. He couldn't tell what his master was going through, so he just continued to dri
Flashback
Hearing Ava's words, Jordan's expression changed, but he still nodded slowly, his brows narrowing into a thin line. "But how did you know?" He asked after a long moment of silence. "Your mother told me," Ava responded, not hiding anything from Jordan who froze the moment he heard that. "My..my mother...?" Jordan stuttered, not believing his ears. "Yes your mother," Ava nodded, the smile on her face didn't fade even for a second. "It all happened on a stormy night," She recounted, her eyes showing a hint of reminiscing., "Back then, I had just been employed and it was my second night here at the Orphanage when I heard a knock on the door,"FLASHBACK (Twenty Seven Years Ago) Thunder crackled in the sky. The already downpour intensified, further darkening the already dark sky at the dead of the night. Everywhere was silent, and only the sound of the downpour could be heard. Inside the orphanage home, a woman in her early forties strolled around the rooms in the orphanage house,
Seeking Answers
Hearing the voice, Jordan froze in place, his body shuddered as he turned around slowly, the old voice still ringing like an alarm bell in his head.Though it had been more than a decade since he last heard the voice, he could recognize it well. There was no need to be told who it was.That was the woman who took care of him as a kid until the Garrison family came to adopt him.That voice, though now old, had definitely risen and looked after hundreds of children at the Orphanage.Turning around slowly, he came face to face with a woman in her late sixties, wrinkles all over her face and she looked older than she was supposed to.Well, this was due to the stress of taking care of the orphaned children over the years."Jordy?" The lady called again, just to be sure, her wrinkled face filled with shock as she stared at Jordan."Yes mother, it's me, Jordy," Jordan nodded, his eyes red at the moment, his body shaking as he stepped towards the lady."Jordy, it's really you...." The lady fi
The Orphanage
"Don't worry Zoey, I'll definitely give them a way out, I won't be too harsh on them, I'll just teach them a slight lesson," Jordan chuckled agreeing to Zoey's pleas."Thank you very much," Zoey instantly became excited and kissed Jordan's cheeks after which her face went red after realizing what she had done."I..I need to go do some work in my room, I won't be coming out for a while..." Zoey stuttered and hurried back to her room."Sister, you'd better do fast and give me either a healthy niece or nephew, I've waited for too long," Sarah who was also sitting on the sofa teased, watching as Zoey's face became redder while rushing into the room."Don't talk nonsense Sarah," Zoey scolded before her figure disappeared into the room.It was the next day already. The night before was a nightmare just as Zoey had expected, her classmates had looked down on Jordan.Though Jordan didn't really flare up as she had expected, he still did teach some quite a lesson, causing them to either lose
Please, Don't Get Annoyed
Just as the previous day went by so quickly, the next day came and also went by quickly.At the moment, Zoey was pacing around the small house, glancing at her watch every second."Jordan hurry up, we'll be late!" Zoey finally yelled as she couldn't take it any more."Sister, you should take it easy on brother-in-law, after all you didn't inform him of the reunion quickly, if it were not for your persistence, he wouldn't have agreed to go," Sarah who was sitting on the couch chuckled as she watched the TV.Zoey scoffed and rolled her eyes at Sarah. Today was her school reunion. She also didn't know about it until someone told her about it which in turn forced her to inform Jordan who was reluctant to go."Jordan!" Zoey yelled again as she got increasingly impatient. If they continued to stay back, they would be stuck in traffic and that would be bad.If only she knew how powerful Jordan was and that he could directly teleport them to the venue, maybe she wouldn't be this anxious."I'm
