The greatest son: Zane strikes back Blood is blood
When Emma walked into the “Blueprint Tech” building with Belinda and her security detail, she kept smiling slightly at the employees and nodding gently at their greetings. But the moment she and Belinda got into the elevator, her frown returned.“He’s doing something dangerous again,” Emma mumbled, resting her head on the cold metal wall as the elevator door closed behind her guards. “I hate when he does this. I hate it so much.”Looking remorseful at Emma, Belinda hesitated for a second and then said, “I am sorry that you overheard what Yoko and I discussed. It wasn't my intention to-”“You wouldn't have told me if I didn't overhear it?” Emma asked with sadness laced in her tone, raising an eyebrow as she turned to face Belinda. “Belinda, I don't get to see him face-to-face anymore. If no one tells me anything, I know nothing. Absolutely nothing. Do you know how suffocating that is? To be able to learn little things about your man only through a few text messages and calls?" Sniffi
The greatest son: Zane strikes back The Taylor legacy
Not caring to dry her face, Emma looked at her grandfather and then her grandma before saying, “Stand up, please.”The two slowly did so, and Emma kept her gaze fixed on her grandfather, who lowered his tearstained face, and then he watched her bow at their feet, crying, “Mother, I am sorry.”Seeing her doing so was like a stab in his heart, and the thought made him sob even harder as he tried to compose himself. The lobby was cold with silence, everyone looking at each other, not saying a word, except for the quiet sounds of sniffling. After what felt like an eternity but had been only mere seconds, Emma stood back up and faced them, now without tears, but with a firm jaw and dull look in her eyes as she said, “I want nothing to do with the Taylor family, but that still doesn't mean I have forgotten my place. You are my grandparents, and that is a fact I have to live with till my dying breath. So, out of respect for my mother, I kindly ask you two never to do that again.”After th
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Inhuman suggestion
From the moment Yoko’s phone buzzed, Zane had been reading his facial expressions while he stared at his screen, and the spike of worry itched behind his eyes, and the tenseness of his jaw told him something wasn’t right. When he finally put his phone away and realized that Zane was staring, he felt a dilemma to speak out what Belinda had sent him.“Want to share?” Zane asked, leaning back on the sofa. “It’s nothing.” Yoko said.No words got spoken for a while after that, but Zane's face seemed to ask, “Are you sure?” with how he looked at him. With a sigh, Zane woke from the couch and mumbled, “Suit yourself... I will be here when you are ready to talk.”“It’s best we focus on the mission right now.” Yoko said. “I promise we can talk after it goes successful.”*********The noise from members of the Taylors walking down the hallway echoed for a while, but it all when dead silent when Logan and the others arrived inside the living room and saw Mr. and Mrs. Taylor sitting on the co
The greatest son: Zane strikes back So you work for Wu?
The thugs seemed to circle around Zane like a bunch of vultures, observing his every movement carefully, their cold smiles growing wider as they slowly closed in.“You want to tell us what you are doing in our territory?” One of them growled, lifting up a pistol and pointing it straight at him.Zane looked down at the barrel of the gun, and then at the gangsters surrounding him with this dullness in his eyes as he calmly asked, “Where is Vel?”Hearing that boss’ name took them off guard for a second, and they paused momentarily as they glanced at each other, then laughed out loud and jeered, “What?”“Vel is your boss, and I have a job for him.” Zane explained, watching the gangsters' faces contort in confusion. He could practically see how hard the realization hit them when he added, “So am I going to be allowed to see him or not?”Another silent moment passed before one of them lowered the gun as they exchanged glances, and then one of them eyed Zane hard and spoke, “There’s mon
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Should have protected you
Subconsciously, Zane's eyes followed Yoko's pace, back and forth, back and forth, repeatedly, until his eyes felt slightly dizzy and then he mumbled, “Stop. You are making me nauseous.” Yoko paused for just a millisecond, long enough to glance at him out of the corner of his eye, before continuing on with his endless circling motion, saying, “I thought we nailed this problem in the butt, but not, it has become even more ridiculous. How are we going to get concrete evidence against Wu? Vel is messing with us.”“Okay. But at least sit down before I faint or throw up.” Zane said, gesturing towards him with one hand. With a sigh, Yoko plunged onto the couch, rubbing his face with both hands and dropping his shoulders, letting himself sink into the soft cushions like an exhausted swimmer as he mumbled, “Why can't shit be easy for us?”“In a perfect world, good things happen to good people. But we don't live in an ideal world. So, we have to suck it up and fight head-on.” Zane said, even
The greatest son: Zane strikes back What the plan is
Drying the tears from her face, not caring for her makeup, Emma smiled at the old man and then said softly, “Come with me.”Now all the guards and others around wanted to know what the old man said that had her suddenly genuinely smiling, but they kept their silence as she headed into the building with them and him. A moment later, Emma arrived in her office with Belinda and the old man, and the moment the door shut behind them, Belinda looked at him and chuckled, “Damn, it Looks so freaking real. Even with Yoko's heads up, I still can't believe that's you.”“You knew he was going to do something this crazy?” Emma asked, her eyes widening and she looked at the old man.Walking to her, he pursed his lips as he spread his arm opened and said, “I missed you, babe.”“Zane, I want to know what your thought process was while doing this. This is another level of just unbelievable. Wow.” Emma said, dodging him as he tried to kiss her. “I can't. Not when you look older than my grandfather.”B
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Use it in your favor
The Briggs’ mansion was dead silent even though there were Five people and a bunch of servants living there, and it was almost like they were all dead inside. When Jason walked into the dining room, it grew dead quiet as Deborah threw him a cold glare from across the table.Dropping her fork on the plate carelessly, Sohpie scoffed, “Are you playing dress up or something? Why the fancy suit?” “Maybe he's going to some shady meeting to double-cross us since he refused to properly share our father's properties with us, his rightful heirs.” Theo added snidely as he leaned back in his chair, looking wholly bored by his uncle's presence.Adjusting his coat hands, Jason's lips twitched in a slight smirk, and then he said, “I wasn't the one who told your father to have some capable lawyer protecting his interest. Until we can get his death certificate, it's risky to make such a drastic move.”Then he turned his focus on Sophie and stated proudly, “Well, my dear niece, since I am in such a g
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Are you accusing me
Already having an awful gut feeling about the conversation, Emma frowned as she asked, “What about them?” “Well, the receptionist claimed that she reached Ava earlier and your cousin claimed that your grandparents traveled out of the country after agreeing to sell Vex co. away, and you are the only one who has ties to the company-”“That’s insane. Grandpa would never...! Where is Ava and the others now?”“Not at the company. This I know because she said so.” “Thank you, Luke. I got to go.”After ending the call, Emma looked at Belinda and said, “We got to get to the Taylor Mansion. My grandparents are missing.” “What?” Belinda asked, stunned.“I will explain in detail on the way.”“Okay,”The two grabbed their belongings and walked off with the bodyguards, and Emma could feel herself tearing up, not knowing why she was suddenly becoming emotional.******The atmosphere within the walls of the Taylor mansion was tense as everyone looked at Logan, who stood in front of them, a cold a
