The Billionaire Legacy Chapter 189: Mia's Confrontation
John's POV The following morning we arrived at the road to the Vanguard Weaponry complex side by side, my stomach all tight because we had no idea what we were about to enter into. The location was massive - a massive factory on the outskirts of the city, with security checkpoints and razor wire. Guard towers were placed at every corner but none were manned over years- the company had been reduced to stafflessness due to budget cuts. We passed by the main gate; the guard recognized my name, and simply gave us a pass. The car park was quite deserted--layoffs were reducing the crew during the past few months. We located a place beside the door and got out. The lobby was silent, much more silent than Daniel had ever made it. The receptionist was surprised to see us and she looked up out of her desk. “Mr. We did not expect you till later, McQueen, I stood up, she said. The boardboard in the conference room awaits you. Annabella took my hand and we went to the elevators. You might
The Billionaire Legacy Chapter 188: Proposal
John's POV I leaned back in my chair, and considered their proposal. A part of me was tempted to say no immediately since it was so wrong to assume the company of Daniel on so many levels. But there was one other part that caught the opportunity they were presenting. Vanguard already possessed technology, agreements and means that could become gold should I manage it properly. And to be quite frank, in case I were in charge I would ensure that the place was run in an ethical manner rather than letting some drunkard continue to play with the corrupt strings of Daniel. I have to think of this, I said at the end. I can not make a decision in a single sit down. I must read the books of Vanguard, discuss this with my legal crew, and consult Annabella before I put anything in lock-up. "We get it," Elowen nodded. But we must have the answer within forty-eight hours. The more we are dead headed the more we are losing money and credibility by the day. "Forty‑eight hours," I agreed. I w
The Billionaire Legacy Chapter 187: unexpected Visitors
John's POV When I was browsing the quarterly reports of my weapons manufacturing division, my assistant Sarah tapped my office door at the exact time of eleven thirty in the morning. She appeared flustered in a manner that instantly informed me that something strange was about to happen since Sarah had been with me eight years and nothing ever comes to disturb her calmness. six people down the stairs would see you, Mr. Mcqueen, said she, with a nervous look behind her that they might at any moment appear behind her. They belong to Vanguard Weaponry. Security is attempting to hold them in the lobby but they are insisting that it is urgent. I put down the report I was reading, and was confused, as I had no meetings with any one of the Vanguard today or any other day. Since his arrest and death in prison three months ago, Daniel had a mess in his company. The last I heard, the board was squabbling amongst themselves as to who was to get the wheel as the company was bleeding money a
The Billionaire Legacy Chapter 186: Unseen Scars II
Johns POV Her face turned all pale since although she could not remember the nightmare itself she could still sense that something had happened. Oh, she said, and looked at her hands. “I’m sorry.”Stop apologising, I said, and took her hand. “This isn’t your fault. What Daniel did to you and Peter was traumatic. It is understandable that you are dreaming about it at night.Three weeks ago, she protested. “I should be over it by now.”Trauma does not work that way, I said, and grabbed her hand. You can not just choose to be over something because you feel that enough time has elapsed. It takes your mind some time to digest what has occurred.She pulled away her hand and left the bed as though she did not want the conversation to continue any further. I am all right, I said, as I went to the bathroom. “It was just a bad dream. Every person has bad dreams occasionally.I jumped out of bed to pursue her since I was not going to allow her to brush this off. This is the fourth time in two
The Billionaire Legacy Chapter 185: Unseen Scars
John's POV I got up at approximately 2:15 a.m. due to the strange noises that Annabella was making that no one should make when they are asleep. They were at first little whimpers, which appeared to be in the depths of her chest, but then they became more pronounced, and became words, which I could scarcely make out, in the hysteria of her voice.No, no, please, said she, her head jerking to and fro on the pillow. "Peter, where’s Peter? I need to find Peter."She was as a statue under the blankets, with her muscles as stiff as they were on leave. I touched her shoulder with my hand softly since, in the last three weeks, I had come to know that touching her too fast in such episodes only exacerbates the situation. Annabella, I said, and touched her arm lightly. "You’re dreaming. Wake up."She didn’t open her eyes. She began to breathe quicker, she was near hyperventilating, gripping the sheets tight enough to turn the knuckles white. It is too small a room, she said in a gasp. “I can’
The Billionaire Legacy Chapter 184: Victory
Annabelle's POVI said, so you knew Peter was being bullied. "Yeah," Mrs. Corrie admitted. Peter: Since the airing of the confession on TV, Brandon Mitchell and Tyler Hayes have been throwing shade at the dad of Peter. I have already discussed with them that it should be classroom-appropriate, although they are still doing it. Why did you not tell us this was the case? John asked. "I wanted to," Mrs. Corrie said. But when I mentioned it to Mrs. Henderson she said to keep it under wraps, not to bring in the parents, because the Mitchell and Hayes families are the major sponsors of the school. She feared to raise a great matter, and lose us their money. So the school preferred money to saving our son, I said, and I was sick. "I'm sorry," Mrs. Corrie said. I am aware that it is not right, but that is the truth about working in a private school that relies on wealthy donors. I might lose my job in case I work too hard. What have these boys been saying to Peter? John asked. M
