Francis was pressed and needed to use the restroom. He excused himself while Jacelyn waited for him.Just then, a young man looking handsome approached Jacelyn.“Hey beautiful, why are you here alone?” The man said sweetly.Jacelyn didn't acknowledge his presence.“Pardon my manners, I am new in town. I need direction to my destination.”Jacelyn frowned, “I am sorry I can't help. You should use your Google map for better directions.”She was always nice to strangers but at that point she felt there was something odd about the man; that made her treat him coldly.“Really?” The man's tone was now deep and scary.The man exposed the pistol which was in his chest pocket and ordered. “Move.”Fear gripped her and the items she bought all fell to the ground.Soon, Jacelyn and the strange man were seated in a car and he drove them to an apartment.Just a table and a chair were inside the room.“You are not the main target otherwise you would have warmed my bed tonight.” The man said and pushe

Jacelyn frowned. “Can't this be settled without involving Silas? We all should learn to bear the consequences of our actions.”“You are feeling like a hero?” Thompson said from behind.He doesn't want to have anything to do with Jacelyn but at the moment, she alone could save them.“Reach out to him so we all can save our faces from this embarrassment. Do what you have to do!”“Excuse you! You can't force me to do things. It's not a crime if you also sort the issue out. Aren't you Grandpa’s favorite child?” Jacelyn blurted out angrily.“Impressive.” Clara was pleased with Jacelyn. “It's good that Thompson has gotten what he deserves.”Francis approached Jacelyn, trying to hide his laughter. With a low voice he said. “Inform Silas, he will be able to help.”“Help?”Jacelyn was puzzled. “Won't he feel I am abusing the opportunity he has given me to reach out to him at any time? My family keeps making me feel indebted to him. I don't want to ask him for help. After all, he is my boss and

Francis listened to Henry as he pointed out some factors that would have made the board of directors get involved in the issue.After some hours, Francis bided Henry bye and returned to the Carls' residence.It was now three in the afternoon.At the Carls’Two cars were outside.All the Carls were gathered at the front of their gate, with some members getting into the car.Jacelyn was about to call Francis to inform him about their movement but Clara rebuked her because she felt he was useless.It made her moody!Soon, Francis arrived home and was greeted by the cold gaze of the Carls.Only Jacelyn smiled.Pretending that he saw only Jacelyn, he approached her with a smile.“Your smile won't stop me from saying what's on my mind.” Jacelyn uttered with a serious tone but the softness in her gaze made Francis smile again.“I am sorry. What have I done this time?” Francis spoke apologetically.“Where have you been?” She crossed her arms over her chest. “I didn't see you at work earlier.”

After Francis left the Kimberlys' company, he went to visit Williams at a penthouse.Williams had his hands tucked in his pocket as he fixed his gaze on Francis.“Francis, when will you pay your grandfather a visit? Are you still angry with him? Find a place in your heart to forgive him.“Hmmm grandfather!” Francis sighed. “Meeting him now will only endanger his life. At the right time, I will pay him a visit.”“When will the time be right?” Williams asked with his tone filled with curiosity. “This penthouse belongs to you alongside so many luxurious things. You are yet to have full control of them all.”“The time will be right when I expose my enemies and avenge the death of my parents.” Francis furrowed his brow, “And as for all you mentioned, continue to manage them well till I am ready to take over.”Francis' grandfather had accepted fate and decided to nurse the pain of losing his loved ones inwardly. However, Francis won't let his enemies go unpunished.He had killed members of

Sly and Drew were discussing. They both had a serious look and fixed their attention on the person who came into the office uninvited.“You?!” Drew uttered with a puzzled expression while Sly pointed at the man before them.Ever since the Kimberly’s lost their loved ones, they withdrew from attending any social gathering or even organizing one. However, Sly and Drew have been working tirelessly to know the man behind the mask. They still had money to do as they please.“You have walked into my trap. I will end your life today!” Sly uttered coldly. “Reveal your identity.”Haha!Francis laughed before saying. “Please, I will be excited to see the way you plan to end my life.”“Why are you after us? What have the Kimberlys done to you?” Drew asked with a furrowed brow.“Why don’t you ask Sly what he knows about the boy they conspired against years ago?” Francis spoke and sat on the chair before him, crossing his leg.Sly’s expression darkened as he gazed at Francis. “I don’t care what y

With a stunned look, Jacelyn looked at Francis.“I should have believed you. I am sorry. How do we fix this now?“You don't have to apologize.” Francis placed his hand around her shoulder. “I have everything under control.“Since you have it under control, get us into the house.” Clara said with an arched brow. “Not just by words, let your actions speak!”Ignoring Clara and Linus who was cowering on his knees, Francis held Jacelyn's hand and approached the soldiers.Immediately the soldiers recognized Francis, they saluted him and he responded with a wink.Earlier, Williams had informed the soldiers about who was paying for their service. He even showed them Francis' picture.They accorded Francis high respect as Williams spoke high of him.The moment Francis and Jacelyn passed, the soldiers returned to block the path of the other family member.They were puzzled. These soldiers had just saluted Francis who was a nobody yet they didn't even accord Grandpa Carl a little respect.“I lik
