CHAPTER 130
Bethany had no other option than to follow the security guard to where George was waiting for her.She sighed quietly as she watched the armed man walking ahead of her.Then she whispered to herself."George is all I want."Her face became serious."If it means going through all these things just to settle things between us, then I will do it."With that thought in her mind, Bethany continued following the guard from behind.They walked deeper into the casino shop.Immediately Bethany entered properly, she became even more uncomfortable.The place was filled with noise. Different voices could be heard from every direction.Some people were shouting because of the games they were playing. Some were drinking heavily at different tables.Others were smoking, while many people were placing bets and arguing loudly among themselves.The entire environment was completely different from the places Bethany was used to visiting.Smoke filled the air. Bethany could inhale it as she continued wal
CHAPTER 129
Mr. Grey and Mr. Donald turned and looked at Johnson with surprise written all over their faces.For a few seconds, the office became completely quiet.Mr. Grey slowly turned his body toward Johnson."Mr. Johnson, what did you just say?"Johnson remained seated calmly. He looked directly at Mr. Grey."You heard me right."Mr. Grey continued staring at him.Johnson repeated himself."I said I also want to see the progress of the contract."For a moment, Mr. Grey and Mr. Donald looked at each other. Then they both laughed.Mr. Donald shook his head slightly.Emily, however, did not laugh.She was surprised by the way Johnson had spoken.It did not sound like a request. It sounded like a command.Emily slowly turned her face toward Johnson. She studied him carefully.Why is he speaking like that? she wondered.Johnson, however, remained completely calm.Samuel Briggs was also expressionless.It was as though nothing unusual had happened.Mr. Grey finally spoke again."Mr. Johnson, I thin
CHAPTER 128
Johnson and Samuel Briggs turned and looked at Emily at the same time.The expression on their faces made Emily frown.She looked from Johnson to Samuel Briggs."Why are you two looking at me like that?"Neither of them answered immediately.Emily sat properly in her seat and looked at them seriously."I'm serious."Johnson raised his eyebrows slightly.Emily continued."I want to see him."Samuel Briggs looked toward Johnson again.Emily noticed the exchange of looks between them."I want to meet the new CEO and appreciate him in person for seeing Wilson Harris worthy of the contract."She took a deep breath."I owe him a lot."Johnson remained quiet.Samuel Briggs was trying his best not to smile.Emily suddenly became curious again. Then she asked a question."Is the new CEO a man or a woman?"This time, Johnson and Samuel Briggs could no longer control themselves.They both burst into laughter.Emily's eyes widened."What is funny?"Johnson looked away while still smiling.Samuel
CHAPTER 127
Bethany had been longing to have a face-to-face conversation with George for a long time.Ever since the night of the McArthur gala, things had changed between them.The differences between them had continued to increase after everything that happened that night.Bethany had tried several times to speak with George properly, but their conversations always ended badly. Sometimes George refused to answer her calls. Other times, he sounded angry and impatient whenever they spoke.But now, George had finally agreed to meet her in person. That alone made Bethany extremely happy.She rushed out of her office with excitement written all over her face. Her handbag was hanging from her shoulder as she hurried through the corridors of the Clifford Group.She did not even wait for her secretary to ask where she was going.Bethany quickly entered the parking lot.She moved toward her car, opened the door, and jumped inside.As soon as she started the engine, she drove out of the Clifford Group.W
CHAPTER 126
The shock on Mrs. Horton's face was obvious to everyone standing around her.She looked from Johnson to Boss Jerry and then back to Johnson again. Her mouth remained slightly open, and for several seconds, she could not find the right words to say.Johnson, however, was smiling.Mrs. Horton finally found her voice."Johnson," she said, her voice almost cracking from surprise, "are you telling me that Boss Jerry has volunteered to work at the orphanage as a baby caregiver?"Johnson continued smiling.Mrs. Horton looked at Boss Jerry again."Because the Jerry I know only works for his own interest."The people standing around them became quiet.Boss Jerry heard every word Mrs. Horton said.Instead of becoming angry, he slowly walked closer to her. Everyone watched him carefully.Then, to the surprise of Mrs. Horton, Boss Jerry almost bent completely as he greeted her respectfully."Good afternoon, Mom Horton."Another wave of shock passed through Mrs. Horton.She became completely speech
CHAPTER 125
Mrs. Horton was the first person to react after the nanny announced that the children had returned."What did you say?"The nanny pointed excitedly toward the entrance."They are here, Mom Horton! The children are here!"For a few seconds, everyone inside the cafeteria remained frozen.Then Mrs. Horton suddenly rushed toward the door."Move!"The old orphanage mates immediately followed her."They are back!""Our little brothers and sisters are back!""Let's go!"The entire cafeteria became noisy as everyone rushed outside.The orphanage parking lot was not far from the cafeteria, and within moments, Mrs. Horton and the old orphanage mates were heading toward the vehicles.Mrs. Horton was moving as quickly as her age would allow."Mom, be careful!"One of the nannies called out.Mrs. Horton did not stop."How can I be careful when my children have returned?"The others smiled through their tears.Outside, Johnson's vehicle had stopped.The driver turned slightly."Sir, we are here."J
