CHAPTER 207
Johnson became quiet after listening to Mrs Horton's question.He looked ahead without saying anything. He knew that Mrs Horton genuinely wanted him to be happy.She had always treated him like her own child, and his failed marriage to Bethany had been a source of concern to her.She had watched him go through difficult moments, and she probably wanted to see him find happiness again.However, marriage was a subject Johnson was not comfortable discussing.To him, the thought of getting married again sounded like the roar of a lion. His experience with Bethany had changed the way he looked at marriage and relationships.After separating from her, he had come to believe that many people entered marriage because of what they saw rather than the person they claimed to love.He had once believed that marriage was built on love, understanding, and commitment.But his experience had taught him that some people could easily abandon those values when they discovered that their expectations wer
CHAPTER 206
Fidelis slowly lowered the phone from his ear and released a deep breath. He had tried his best to maintain his composure while speaking with Suko, even though he was not comfortable with the conversation.He looked at Johnson, who was standing nearby.Johnson smiled and patted him gently on the shoulder.“You did well,” Johnson said.Fidelis nodded.“Thank you, sir. I hope he did not suspect anything.”Johnson smiled.“Don't worry about that. You handled the conversation properly.”Boss Jerry, who had been listening to their discussion, stepped forward.“So, what happens now, Young Master?”Johnson looked at him.“I will take it from here. All of you should do exactly as I instructed you. Don't make any changes to the arrangement, and don't act outside the plan.”“We understand, sir,” Boss Jerry replied.Fidelis also nodded.“We will follow your instructions.”Johnson looked at the men one after another.“Good. I expect everyone to remain calm. We have come this far, and I don't want
CHAPTER 205
Suko was sitting in his living room, staring impatiently at his phone. He had been checking the screen repeatedly, hoping to receive a call from Fidelis or Boss Jerry.However, several hours had passed without any update from the men he had contracted.It was already evening, and his patience was running out.He picked up his phone again and checked the time.“What is wrong with these people?” he muttered. “Why haven't they called me?”His wife was sitting on the other side of the living room. She had also been in a bad mood since returning home.Her dismissal from the Arrows Hill Women Organization had affected her greatly, and she could not stop thinking about how things had happened.However, her attention was more focused on her husband. She had noticed that he had been restless for some time, and she could not understand why he kept checking his phone.She finally turned toward him.“Suko, what is the problem?”Suko did not answer immediately.She looked at him again.“I have bee
CHAPTER 204
Mrs Clifford remained quiet for a while. She looked away from Bethany and seemed lost in her thoughts.However, her expression suddenly changed, and she let out a frustrated sigh.“Everything was going well until that old man brought the problem called Johnson into our home,” she said angrily.Bethany immediately looked at her mother.“Mother, please don't say that.”Mrs Clifford turned toward her.“Why shouldn't I say it? Is it not the truth? Before that boy came into our lives, everything was fine.”“Your grandfather was happy, the family was peaceful, and nobody had to deal with the kind of problems we are facing today.”Bethany sighed.She was aware of everything that had happened between Johnson and her family. She also knew that her mother had never liked him.However, because of the love and respect she had for her grandfather, she did not want Mrs Clifford to blame him for what had happened.“Mother, Grandpa never knew that Johnson would turn my life into a living hell,” Betha
CHAPTER 203
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Brian. Emily was waiting to see what he would do next, while Johnson remained seated, watching him with a slight smile.For a moment, Emily had almost believed Brian's story. His confidence and the way he spoke about his father's relationship with the McArthur Conglomerate had made her consider the possibility that he was telling the truth.However, Johnson knew exactly what was happening. Brian was simply making up stories to impress Emily and protect his pride.Brian looked at Emily calmly.“I must not call the CEO before I can prove myself to you that I was the mastermind behind the contract,” he said.Emily stared at him without saying anything.Brian continued, “But if you don't believe me, then perhaps I am not welcome here.”He slowly stood up and adjusted his jacket.“Anyway, I don't want to disturb you any longer. I only came here because I wanted to see you, but it seems my presence is not appreciated.”Emily immediately felt uncomfortable.“Bri
CHAPTER 202
Brian swallowed.Johnson, who was sitting beside them, almost burst into laughter.He quickly pressed his lips together and looked away.“They are talking about me as though I am a ghost everyone wishes to see,” he thought.He found the situation increasingly amusing.The mysterious CEO they were discussing was sitting right beside them, listening to every word. Yet Brian was making claims about his relationship with the CEO without knowing that he was speaking directly in front of the person himself.Johnson had no intention of revealing his identity at that moment.He simply wanted to see how Brian would answer Emily's question.Brian glanced at Johnson.He noticed the slight smile on Johnson's face and felt irritated.He could not understand why Johnson appeared so relaxed. Anyone else in his position would probably have felt uncomfortable being discussed in such a way.Brian quickly turned back to Emily.“Yes,” he answered.Emily raised her eyebrows.“Yes, what?”“Yes, I have met
