Chapter forty eight: The Reed in trouble
Panic struck Margaret Reed like a thunderclap. Her expression went from shock to pale as her followers decreased rapidly from 7 millions to 4 million in the space to 5 minutes and was still dropping rapidly. Her finger trembled violently and the phone slipped from her, clattering to the floor, her heart banging in her ear like a wardrum, each ping from the phone a Sharp stab to her heart."Oh, My God!" The gasp came out strangulated in her throat. She grabbed the phone and immediately stumbled out of the room, her heel clacking on the stairs as she hurried over it, sustaining her movement between emergency and tripping to gravity. "Honey...honey..." Alejandro Reed was already up, pacing the room with a wrinkled expression like a wounded predator angry he was caged. His voice came before his wife's, filled with anger."My investigators are calling in. They're threatening to pull away their shares because of that scum!" He spun to his wife who was panicking just like him. "I thought w
Chapter forty seven: Simple move from the trillionaire
Hannah's expression cracked, anger crossing the Split like lightning through the sky.Benjamin had never spoken to her like this before. She'd never seen this look on his face. He wasn't looking like anything she pretended not to see in the past; not the man urging her to take things carefully, not the lovely man despite her rejection and early morning argument would still come to her company with a food flask for her lunch.This Benjamin was different, and there was something about him that had changed that she couldn't quite place."How dare you speak to me like that? Is it because of her? Because of this slut?" Her finger snapped at Cassandra. She frowned deeply."Don't you dare speak about her." Benjamin's voice was leveled still, a quiet thunder in it. "You think every woman is like you? That they walk away because they just felt like it? You don't get to come back here now, Hannah."Anger consumed Hannah like a volcano erupting inside. Her arms cut through the air to smack him i
Chapter fourty six: Ex came back
The Black Kia Cerato pulled in through the gate of sunshine Academy. The air shifted, reporter turning to it, anticipating the entrance of Mr. Alejandro Reed but who stepped out from the car threw the air into noises, reporters scrambled towards her, throwing questions that Hannah didn't even bother to ask, pushing through the crowd with swift movement.She stepped into the quiet corridor that led to the academy infirmary, a few staff teachers greeting her but she didn't even respond till she stepped into the infirmary that smelled of antiseptic.She stopped, assessing the room with sharp eyes. Benjamin sat on the chair at the centre with back straight, concern etched over his face. His held her gaze without any expression but wondered what the heck she was doing there. Hannah's gaze landed on Aria who was still on the bed with her eyes shut. His expression simply narrowed. No concern. Just pity. And then to Cassandra who sat on the bed beside the young girl. Her expression shifted no
Chapter forty five: $2 million and clout
"If you're spending a cent to keep your son under your protection from facing the law, I'll spend more to bring him out and pay for his actions."The connection snapped. Mr. Alejandro Reed slowly dropped the call with a hint of both amusement and mild surprise. Benjamin was speaking too boldly for somo who he really was. He'd had his informant look him up; a delivery guy earning $200 bucks wages, past loan and broken relationships because celebrity ex-wife said she was bigger than his dream.That Man had just bragged to his face. It could have been a big blow to his pride or taken as a challenge if it had been one of his powerful rivals in the armoury distribution, but a delivery guy was way under him, and the sheer reality of it was just amusing. He thought."He rejected the offer?" Margaret Reed raised a brow, her crimson gown drinking in the chandelier crystal light."Yes," Mr. Reed said, his tone indifferent. "He's proving to be something more than he really is. Typical of poor m
Chapter fourty four: When he stops caring
Sunshine Academy plunged into tension at once as a government vehicle pulled over inside the premises. The students peeped from the classrooms, murmuring stirred in the air in waves, some teachers were already walking out to check on the disturbance. Uniformed police men poured out from the Vehicle immediately with weapons tucked in their waist. This wasn't war. It was just an arrest. Maybe. The Chief inspector a woman called Viviana Cross walked to meet Benjamin."Listen, Inspector," Benjamin's voice was filled with authority and anger without giving her a chance to speak first because he had a daughter lying on a hospital bed and the kid who did was out maybe there sipping expensive wine. "I want this institution locked down. No one leaves here till I have Mr. Alejandro Reed brings his son here for arrest.""Mr. Hayes, we can go ahead and make the arrest at Mr. Reed's house and get proper investigation started.""He's coming here himself with his son." Benjamin said firmly.Mr. T
Chapter forty three: I want the school shut down
Benjamin moved to his car and stepped inside. He picked up his phone. It was ringing again with Ms. Natalie's number displayed on the screen."Did something happened in the school?" He thought with concern on his face. He picked up the call immediately."Mr. Hayes I have been calling you. You need to come over to school now. It's about your daughter." Her voice came quickly."What happened to Aria?" Benjamin's expression changed instantly but Ms. Natalie didn't say more, knowing when bad news can cause more trouble."Just come to the school, Sir.""Alright. I'll be there." The line disconnected. The morning plan was shifting into something he didn't plan for. "Is there a problem, Master?" "I don't know. Aria school called." Benjamin said, "Get to the headquarter. I'll handle this." Benjamin arrived at the academy in ten minutes when it could have taken twenty, half the normal time because he could cross ocean for his daughter and he'd just received a cryptic call from her school
