"THE FAKE PATRIARCH OF THE RICE FAMILY HAS BEEN ARRESTED UNDER THE COUNTS OF IMPERSONATION AND MURDER OF HIS SON AND GERALD RICE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED HE WAS ONCE A MAFIA OPERATOR AND COMPLETELY CHANGED HIS IDENTITY TO FIT INTO THE HIGH SOCIETY."Chris walked out of the meeting room, where he had met the dumbfounded shareholders who had no objection to his unprecedented ownership of the Rice empire.Robin Smith’s arrest had come as a shock and now, they were planning to hold a memorial in Gerald Rice's memory.By Chris’ side, Baron wheeled himself, half heartedly as he couldn't get over the silent grief of losing his father. They couldn't even get his body back."Everything worked out well, didn't it?" Chris stopped, turning to face Baron. "Though your brother has been released, you will still take over the operations of the Rice empire.""You are the chairman now." Though Baron's heart rejoiced at that news as Chris was willing to give him a chance to shine, he still couldn't smile
Arrested
Two hours had passed and Baron sat in his wheelchair, staring at his phone for any sort of update from Chris. Though it was late into the night, his eyes wouldn't close. He was the last of three sons in the Rice family, yet, he felt like he was an outsider.What if something had happened and he knew nothing about it, and yet, Chris knew?He couldn't sit still and as he picked up his phone to call Chris, his wife came rushing in, putting her phone in his face."Have you seen this? What the fuck is wrong with that old man? Has he gone senile?"Baron held the phone, his fingers quivering slightly. His father, Gerald Rice stood before the reporters, his face half covered with a mask but they could all see the slight shake in his body. The way his eyes avoided the cameras, made him look like a country bumpkin.In that moment, Baron's eyes dimmed even more, as he finally realized that it was odd. He had used Gerald's camera fear to make himself look good earlier but now that he wasn't in th
A Show Coming Up
Gerald paced up and down, in the living area as he had been sent back home after Chris had thrown him out of the office building.He wasn't even allowed entry! How dare he!“I am going to crush that bastard.” He declared, his chest heaving. However, he couldn't dispel the fear in his mind. The chills that ran down his spine told him something was really wrong. Chris had addressed him with that name he detested. He couldn't sit still. He had to know what that boy was hiding and had to get to the root of the situation. “Someone get Baron here! Right this instant!”He yelled at the few attendants Baron had provided and they dared not ignore his words. As his rotten face scrunched and twitched, he looked like a monster they couldn't provoke. An hour later…Baron wheeled himself into the house, stopping before Gerald. “You called, Father.” He said, his voice calm. Too calm for Gerald’s liking. “Is there anything wrong?”“What?” The old man gasped. “I was sent out of the meeting room
Exposing Gerald Rice
All shareholders stood up in shock as soon as Chris appeared in the doorway, flanked by Rico Axe and Butler Rico. Gerald sat at the head of the table, his hands shaking and teeth gnashing against the other when he watched Chris come in like he owned the place. Even Baron was amazed and he quickly wheeled himself toward Chris. His chest tightened, knowing what he had done wrong, after all, Chris had told him to lie low and wait. However, he was too impatient, too greedy to wait. He wanted the Rice empire for himself and Chris was taking too long.“Mr. Westminster…” Baron said, hurriedly approaching. However, Chris didn't take a single glance at him as he walked further into the meeting room, approaching Gerald who was his target. But then, Baron was slowly descending into fear knowing he had made a fatal mistake. He thought things would go smoothly before Chris would be able to get to him. After all, Chris couldn't interfere in the company's issues, right? As Chris stood before o
You Have No Power
Gerald had long left the hospital, however, his face had deteriorated and he had also refused treatment from the hospital. He refused to let any doctor touch his face apart from Doctor Blackman. However, no matter how he reached out to the doctor, he never got a reply. Now, he was staying at the secluded house Baron had grudgingly provided for him with an attendant by his side. “What is he saying? Did you tell him I agreed to the surgery he proposed before now?” He asked desperately. “I am sorry,” The attendant apologized with pity in her eyes. “He has warned me to stop contacting him otherwise he is going to involve the police.”“Ohh…” Gerald let out, his finger nicking his flesh as he was slowly immersed in worry. The doctors had said he had a tendency to have a stroke now due to the way his health had deteriorated. But then, he wasn't ready to give up. He was going to find adequate help by all means. “Contact Baron.” He ordered the attendant. At this point, he had no choice b
Released
Five days later…“Have you heard?” A police officer rushed to the detective in charge of Chris’s case with a bewildered look.“What is it?” The detective asked, his gaze displeased. He had a lot on his mind, he was trying to connect the Westminster family to the bomblast but there were no leads. He also has not been able to contact Chase about their ongoing deal. “Reid has been found.” The officer said and immediately the detective whipped his head in his direction. “What…what do you mean?” He asked shakily. “Oh, you don’t know?” The officer laughed scornfully. “I thought you were the detective in charge of the case.” Of course, he knew this beforehand but then they all knew how much the detective had been so hyper about the case.“What do you mean by that?” The detective snapped! “It’s my case and I know everything about it.” He lied through his teeth so he wouldn't be seen as a fool. He was the one in charge but how could he not know? “I guess you know then…” The officer chuckle
