Chapter 71
Andrew got a text from Alex before he closed for work. Alex wanted them to meet at their usual meeting spot. He slipped the phone into his pocket and headed for the elevator, but someone called him from behind. He turned and saw a young lady standing behind him.She looked somewhat familiar, as though he had seen her somewhere in the past, but he couldn’t remember where or when. She walked towards him, wearing a warm smile. Andrew was skeptical about her approach, but he stood still, and when she offered him a handshake, he shook her hand as though he knew her.“Longest time, Andrew,” she said, still wearing her broad smile. “Do you still remember me?”Andrew shook his head.“Oh, I don’t blame you for that,” she said. “But...” She searched her handbag and fished out an old picture. “I bet you will recognize this.”Andrew took the picture from her and gazed at it for a while. Old memories came rushing back. The lady in the picture was an old friend from his teenage years. She had left

Mr. Nelson sat on his bed in his cell with his head bowed towards the floor. The last time he caught sight and scent of the world beyond the walls of his cell was the day he and his family were charged in court by the police. Now, not even his legal counsel was able to secure his release.The case had been adjourned. That meant he would have to stay a little longer in his cell before returning to court to bargain for his freedom and that of his family.Aside from the court hearing, he hadn’t seen or heard from the outside world since then. A prison warden stopped at his door with a baton. The warden knocked on the door with the end of his baton.“Mr. Nelson.”Mr. Nelson looked up. His face was heavy with worry and panic. The last thing he had ever wanted for himself and his family was to end up in jail for doing something they considered insignificant. To him and his family, Lily had served the purpose for which she was adopted in the first place. Now, the consequences of what they ha
Chapter 69
Though the police had strong evidence that the Nelsons could barely deny, their legal counsel managed to put up a good fight, leaving the court with no other choice but to adjourn the case. However, Andrew had already granted the press an interview, briefing them on what had happened to his wife and what the investigations had uncovered.The police spokesperson also did well to grant a press interview, stating that the evidence gathered by the police investigations department was glaring. No one could deny the fact that the Nelsons had murdered their daughter and offered her heart to the doctors for Paul’s urgent heart transplant.Though the Nelsons’ legal counsel did well to deny the allegations levelled by the police and Andrew, the news spread far and wide within a matter of hours. Andrew knew how fast news travelled, but he hadn’t expected the allegations levelled against the Nelsons to spread so quickly.They were supposed to have a top-notch damage control agency helping them wi

Andrew wasn’t in a hurry to meet up with the police, but he arrived at the police station early enough to witness the arrival of the Nelsons’ lawyers. Indeed, the Nelsons had the fastest and most formidable legal team in the city, but even the best lawyers in the world wouldn’t be able to do much in their case. Andrew knew that, so nearly bumping into the lawyers arriving for their prestigious clients meant nothing to him.He parked at a safe corner, some distance away from the vehicle the Nelsons’ legal team arrived in. Alex undid his seat belt and alighted first while Andrew turned off the ignition and followed suit. The both of them marched to the entrance of the police station, and to Andrew’s shock, a group of press people blocked his way, holding microphones and cameras to his face.“Sir…”Alex waited by the door for Andrew to finish with the press, but Andrew didn’t seem interested in talking to anyone aside from the investigators and, probably, his lawyers. He pushed his wa
Chapter 67
Tina and Nina were home alone.This was the first time in a very long time that they had been left alone at home because everybody had been arrested, and they were making calls frantically, looking for a way to get their parents out of jail."Please, sir, look into this. My parents cannot just be arrested without much evidence. They did nothing," Tina pleaded with the lawyer who was speaking with her on the phone."Miss Tina, evidence was brought against your family, and your parents have a weakness that they ordered someone to do something evil, so I cannot get them out of jail now," the lawyer informed her.Tina bit her lower lip.She did not understand how bad things were happening to them one after the other because, right now, she did not know what to do. Her father was the main person running the company, and she and her sister had to go to the company to tell the shareholders and everybody that what happened was a misunderstanding. Instead, they were just bombarded with questio

Andrew ambled straight to the parking lot downstairs. Work these days was no longer something he gave much of his attention to. Everything had lost its taste the moment his wife lost her life, the moment he set eyes on her corpse.He swallowed. People seemed to have noticed his indifference to almost everything existing around him since his wife’s passing. He made for his car, but as he approached it, he saw the parking lot’s security guard standing beside it with a white envelope.The security guard approached him as soon as he showed up.“Sir, someone asked me to deliver this to you. He said it’s from your ex-in-law, Paul.”Andrew shrugged the guard aside and made for his car. He gave the car a quick inspection just to be sure nothing had been planted in it, then he threw open the door and hopped in.The security guard came to his window and gave it a gentle knock. Andrew wound down the window.“Sir, aren’t you…”“Do you want to get fired as early as tomorrow morning?” Andrew asked.
