Rick's Dilemma Chapter 34
Now that the opening had been a success, Debbie and Rick were getting ready to go to Jelang village to check on her grandmother. Debbie had not heard from Lois since she left. She decided to give her mother a call before they left to get an idea of what to expect when they arrived. So Debbie took out her phone and placed the call to her mother. Lois answered almost immediately. "It's about time you called! I have been waiting. When are you coming to Jelang? Is that good for nothing husband of yours coming as well? Don't forget you promised to take care of Mom's medical bills!" Debbie was almost sorry now that she had called. It was typical Lois. Nothing was ever good enough for her. She replied "Mom, we will be there tonight. We are driving up as soon as we are packed. Do we need to reserve an hotel for our stay? And how is Grandma?" Lois was just impatient for her daughter to come. She was almost out of money. She had almost $10,000 when she arrived, but had taken her bro
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 35
Rick was speechless. If this were true, it would be the best news he had ever gotten. It would put the news of his inheritance to shame. Nothing could be more glorious than this! He finally found his voice again and said to Debbie "Are you sure? Should we be making this trip? " Debbie smiled and said "I'm not really sure. That's why I want to stop at the hospital to have a pregnancy test. If it is true, there is no reason not to still go to Jelang. Let's go ahead and pack the car and get going!" Rick called out to Li Fan to come take the luggage out to the car. As they were leaving Ting Gap, Rick said to Li Fan "I'll call you when we get to Jelang. And again when we leave so you will know when to expect us back. Thank you Li Fan." Then Rick got in the car and drove to Fing City Hospital. Once they arrived at the hospital, they went to the OB/GYN department and registered for an examination. After they got into the exam room, Rick noticed how nervous Debbie was. In an effort t
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 36
Talk about mood swings! Rick had gone from a very excited high to a very disgruntled low. He looked over at Debbie and said "What do you think that was about?" She was trying to process too much at once. She hated that this had put a damper on their happiness at this time. She wanted nothing more than to revel in the news of their baby. But this call could not be a good thing. She knew as well as Rick did that the Green family was up to no good. Her next thought was for Rick to call Old Wilson. Debbie trusted him almost as much as she trusted Rick. So she advised Rick "I think that you need to call Old Wilson. He may have some insight into this matter. Oh, and I won't mind if you tell him about the baby. I know how excited he will be, and I also know that we can trust him to keep the knowledge to himself. There is no one that I trust as much as I trust him, besides you of course!" Rick decided to take his wife's advice and called Old Wilson. He answered right away "Yes Young Ma
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 37
After a long day, not to mention a long drive, Debbie and Rick were about to enter Jelang. Debbie took out her phone to let Lois know that they were about to arrive. When Lois got the call, she said "Well, it's about time you got here! What took you so long? We have been waiting a long time. We will meet you at the new Western Restaurant on the main square. Do you think that you can find it?" Debbie replied "Yes Mom, I think we can find it, Jelang is not that big. Who will be coming? I hope that you do not expect us to pay for every one else's meal tonight." Lois was a bit miffed at this. She retorted "Of course I do, it's only polite. They are your family too after all. It will be your Uncle Howard and his wife Shirley, your Aunt Alice, your Uncle Heyward and his wife Jean, and their two kids, and your Aunt Rebecca and her son. Dad's still at the hospital with Mom. So with the three of us, that's only twelve. What's the big deal? Do not embarrass me! And tell that good for not
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 38
Back in Fing City Old Wilson had been keeping an eye on things for Rick and Debbie. He was at present on the phone with Rick's butler Li Fan. "Hello, Li Fan. How is everything at Ting Gap? I hope that you have not had any problems." Li Fan knew that his boss had left Old Wilson in charge of matters while he and Mrs. Green were to be away. He replied to Old Wilson with "So far everything seems fine. We have had no contact with anyone since Mr. and Mrs Green left for Jelang this morning. Mr. Green called about an hour or so ago to inform me that they had arrived safely. If I may ask you Sir, do you anticipate any trouble while they are away? I have instructed the staff to be alert to any strangers lurking about the estate." Old Wilson said to Li Fan "I do not expect trouble, but we all must be vigilant in keeping a lookout. If you run into anything, please call me right away!" After Old Wilson hung up the call, Li Fan wondered what kind of trouble that Mr. Green and Old Wi
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 39
The Green family was in an uproar. They had been summoned by Old Madame Green to the Green family villa in an emergency meeting. She was in a very foul mood. Old Madame Green started off by addressing the group "How dare Rick refuse my invitation! Who does that little shit think he is? I am the head of this family and what I say goes. Well, we will just have to find a way to force him to come back to face us! Does anyone have any ideas?" They all looked around at each other helplessly. No one could come up with a way to get Rick to come back to the family. Then Rick's Uncle Roy spoke up and said "What if we kidnapped his wife Debbie? Then he is bound to pay more attention to us. I'm sure he would come looking for her. From what I've heard, he is truly devoted to her. He would not dare to ignore us then!" Old Madame Green sat in thought for a few minutes. "It would be awfully risky to kidnap his wife. There are so many things that could go wrong. But if we want to make Rick
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 40
Debbie and Rick were frustrated and exhausted. This trip to Jelang had proved to be a very unpleasant experience for them both. Lois was being intolerable and Debbie's aunts and uncles where no better, with the sole exception of Aunt Alice. The whole family were constantly trying to belittle or insult each other at every turn. How could such a family exist? Rick could not wait to leave and never look back. Even though he had paid several hundred thousand dollars to treat her mother, Lois still berated Rick as a good for nothing in front of her siblings. Finally Rick and Debbie both had had enough! That morning after breakfast at her Aunt Alice's house, Debbie looked at her mother and said "Mom, Rick and I are leaving today. There is no reason for us to stay any longer. Since you have said that Rick is useless and a good for nothing, I'm sure that you will be glad that we will be gone. I'll say my goodbyes to the family at lunch over at grandma's later, then we will leave from there
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 41
Roy Green had almost completed his plans for the kidnapping of Rick's wife. He had found a group of underworld thugs to carry out the mission. It was going to cost the Green family over $5 million to get the job done, but Roy thought that it was a bargain considering the potenial gains from Rick's holdings. While searching for someone to do this mission, Roy also discovered another covert operation. It seems that a family from Tangu was trying to take over part of the Green family shipping company. This was the Wang family. They were a second tier family of no real status in the business world. At least in the veiw of the Green family. But it was a concern to Roy as he did not want anything to take away from his attention at this time. He had enough to worry about without having to smash a small company like the Wang Group. Roy decided to deal with this threat personally to ensure that it was taken care of once and for all. He called his assitants and gave orders to have the
