Chapter 48
Dina’s burial went smoothly. Royce was in his house with two middle-aged men.One was Fred Hills who owns FH Concept and the other Quinn Jakes who owns Jakes Enterprise.All the companies formerly belonged to the Gad’s; after destroying their family, they took over the companies and changed the names.“How could there be a survivor? We ensured they were all destroyed without any trace.” Fred said with his voice etched with confusion.“Hmm! We need to act fast; this might just be the beginning.” Quinn spoke.“I don’t care whoever survived, we need to meet with the underworld boss as fast as possible. I want justice for my daughter. The CCTV at the company didn’t cover anything!” Royce spoke angrily.***In the Carls’ mansion.“Who could have killed the daughter of a powerful business tycoon? ““The person must be a hardened criminal.”The Carl’s discussed among themselves.Just then the discussion was diverted to Jacelyn.“It has been days and Francis hasn’t returned to tell us about

Days ran by and Francis finally came out after spending forty-eight hours indoors.He was looking outside via the window when Williams walked in.Williams greeted and gave him a sheet of paper.Staring at the paper, Francis wore a disappointed look.“They changed my father's company name to Felex Brand.” He muttered. “They must pay with their blood.“Francis, now that you know your enemies, should I get professional men to get rid of them?” Williams asked coldly.He chuckled before responding. “Making their death easy isn't part of the plan. You witnessed it all, did they make the death of my parent easy?” In response, Williams shook his head.“I will handle this myself.” Francis made it clear.He informed Williams that he had something urgent to attend to.Francis left the house for a destination best known to him.On the other hand, Dina was seated in her office with her leg crossed over the other. She had her phone glued to her ear.“Are you serious?” She asked the person on the o

Jacelyn's expression tightened. “Francis, we need to rest now.”Francis smiled at her, “Jace, I have to go now. We'll talk about my job soon.”“Job? Have you gotten a job?” Jacelyn was shocked.The Carls were also stunned to hear his words.“We’ll talk about it some other time.”Francis sighed and left the house.When he arrived home, he met Williams outside the mansion, about to enter his car.“Where are you rushing to at this time of the day?” Francis questioned curiously because it was late.“Your grandfather got admitted at the hospital. His condition is critical! Won't you like to see him?”“Hmm! I will see him.”With Williams being the driver, Francis joined him in the car.After loosing his parents and enduring difficult times alone, this was the first time he would see his grandfather. The car finally parked at a private hospital with GH boldly written on the building. Francis and Williams got off the car but Francis almost missed a step because he was admiring the interiors.

While her father didn't care about the Carls, Jacelyn was worried.Two of them returned home to meet everyone seated as though they were expecting their arrival.“Look at how good the both of you are looking!” Grandpa Carl said coldly. “For hours, we had no roof over our heads.”“Sorry about that, Grandpa. No one informed us about the situation.” Jacelyn said politely.“Oh please we tried to reach you but it failed.” Yusi spoke with a frown.Grandpa pointed at her. “If you weren't my granddaughter, I would have sent you back to where you are coming from.”They kept saying cold words about Jacelyn and Francis even though he wasn't around. She wished she had stayed longer in Conland.Just then, there was a knock on the door.“It had better not be that wretched live-in-son-inlaw,” Grandpa pouted.Jacelyn was closer to the door so she opened the door.“Kane…!”She screamed as she allowed a man and woman into the house.“Kane!”“What a surprise visit?!”The Carls were delighted to see Kane

The Carls left the bank dejected and sad. They returned home to be greeted by the shock of their lives – a different padlock was used to lock the gate and there was a man leisurely moving around, holding a gun.“Excuse me, what are you doing here?” Grandpa Carl asked furiously.“My job,” the man replied casually. “And you are trespassing.”Grandpa tightened his expression and began to pull the strange padlock.“I have the order to shoot you, don’t let that happened.” The man spoke and pointed his gun to Grandpa. “No one will access this building until I receive the order. Get out!”The man’s cold voice made them scared and they took to their heels immediately.‘If only Jacelyn was around, all this wouldn’t have happened.’ Clara thought inwardly. She knew her daughter now had influence and a call would have sorted it out.They tried to book a room at the nearest hotel but all the rooms were booked for the night. None of their extended family members lived close by so there was no point
Chapter 43
Take me to the bank now!” Grandpa Carl gasped for breath. “We are doomed.”“Doomed?!” “What's wrong, grandpa?”The family members were confused and couldn't help but exclaim.With a shaky voice, he narrated his phone conversation with Desmond to the family. They were all speechless.“We need to get to the root of this.”They rushed out of the house and in ten minutes, they were at the bank.Grandpa Carl placed a call to Desmond and uttered. “I am at the bank.”Almost immediately, Desmond was standing before grandpa but he was shocked to see the other family members.“Good day Grandpa,” Desmond greeted.“What went wrong?” Grandpa went straight to the point, ignoring his greeting.“You have to speak to the manager.” Desmond heaved. “I can't intervene in this case.” “What's the cause of all this?” Yusi queried.Desmond looked at her. “The manager will explain better.”“My account can't be locked when I didn't commit any offence. After this, we will meet in court.” Grandpa spoke furious
