Chapter 21
As we have seen, Lois was not one to let things go. Her curiosity about Racheal was already consuming her. So she decided to pay her daughter a visit. As she approached Debbie's office, she was unsure how to ask Debbie about Racheal without arousing suspicions. Debbie saw her mother standing outside her office door and called to her "Mom? Did you want to see me?" Lois walked into the office. Lois just blurted out "What was Racheal Madison doing here?" Debbie was a bit taken by surprise at this "I didn't know that you knew her. We just hired her as the new Project Manager. Why, is there a problem?" Lois was furious! "How dare you give such a high position to that whore! She will rank above me now! Don't you know who she is?" Debbie was confused. She could understand her mother's feelings about another woman having a higher position, but to call her such names was way out of line. "That's enough of that kind of talk! She is well qualified for the post, just as

Rick looked over at Old Wilson and said "What are your thoughts on this matter?" Old Wilson had a few things to say. He started with " I think that Madame handled the situation well. I believe that if Ms. Madison truly got the job on her own merits, there is no reason to discount her for her previous life. Although I would keep a close eye on her, I think her attitude will show her true motives. Mr. Howel needs to learn his place before insulting a valuable client. As for Madame's mother, she should just keep out of it." Both Debbie and Rick agreed. So there was no need to take the matter further at the present time. Debbie said "Thank you Old Wilson! That's just what I wanted to hear. I know my mother is a bit of a busy body, but I will just have to keep her in check." Rick turned the conversation to the upcoming opening ceremony. He asked Debbie "How are the preperations going for the opening day? Do you need me to do anything?" Debbie had been run ragged the past wee

After dinner was finished, Old Wilson said his goodbyes and strolled down the drive towards his own house in Silver Hill. Although Rick had provided him with a car, Old Wilson prefered to walk when inside the developement. Rick and Debbie waved him off and returned to the pool house to relax before bedtime. As they were sitting down, Chef Matthew served them both some more tea and then retired for the night. As the couple were chit chatting, Debbie recieved a call from her mother. As Debbie picked up the call she could tell that her mother was upset. Lois said "You won't believed what has happened! Your Grandmother has had a heart attack! We must go to her at once." Lois came from a small town some distance to the north from Fing City. Lois did have a few siblings, but as the oldest, she was expected to take care of her mother if anything happened to her. Lois knew that the only reason that her brother called was to get Lois to come pay for their mother's hospital stay and treatmen

They reached the train station and went inside to buy a ticket for Lois. The next train out was in just 30 minutes. Rick purchased the ticket and handed it to Lois and said "Be safe and be aware of your surrounding on the train. There are a lot of pick pockets around these days." Lois looked at the ticket and was appaulded that is was a second class ticket. She scowled at Rick " What? Am I not worth a first class ticket to you? You cheap ass moron! I deserve better than this. How could you expect me to travel second class?" Rick repiled "It was the only class ticket available. First class was full. If you would rather wait until tomorrow, I'm sure they will have something in first class. But I thought you were in a hurry to get to your mother's side at this time." Lois said arrogantly "Oh, if that's all they had available, I guess it will have to do." She did not apologize to Rick for being so rude to him. Debbie looked at her mother and was about to scold her for her beh

The lead thug had called for an ambulance to transport the men to the hospital. He was still shocked at how easily Rick had dealt with his cronies in just one kick. He had caused so much damage that these men would be out of action for months at least. His next phone call was to the group of loan sharks who had hired him to deal with Tony Hall. "Boss, we found Tony Hall but he said that his friend would take care of his debts. We found him and approached him about the money. The man called Green proceeded to beat up nine of my men with just one kick! Then he told me that he was not responsible for Tony Hall's debts. Mr. Green also suggested that Hall was trying to buy some time to get out of town. We should stake out the airport and train station to see if that's true." The boss he was talking to was Ye Wong. Ye Wong then replied "Then go back and find Hall right now. Do not let him leave town. If you loose him, it will be on your head." Fu Wang, the Lead Thug, was horrified at

Rick and Debbie arrived at Ting Gap and went out by the pool to relax. It had been an eventful day. The butler Li Fan came out to inquire if they needed anything. Rick said "Just some tea would be nice." After Li Fan served them tea, he withdrew back into the house. Debbie needed to talk, so she started by saying "Do you think those men will come back and try to make trouble again? I can't believe that Tony would pull such a stunt!" Rick replied "I don't think that they will be back. One beating should be enough to warn them off. As far as Tony goes, he will be lucky if he can escape from them again. It's his wife that I feel sorry for. I'm sure that if Tony tries to bail on the loans, the loan sharks will come looking for her. There's no telling what they might do to her if she can not come up with the money to pay them off." Debbie thought about this for a minute then said "Do you think that they would hurt her? It's not her fault that Tony had a gambling problem. " "

Lois had arrived in her home village of Jelang late at night. Her sister Alice had come to meet the train. Alice was an unassuming lady but had a very gentle demeanor. Of all of Lois' relatives, Alice was the most honest and straightforward. She never looked down on anyone. Unlike Lois, Alice respected her siblings and their parents. So Lois was glad that it was Alice that came to greet her. She said to Alice "Hello my dear sister! Thank you for coming to pick me up. How is Mother?" Alice replied "Hello Lois! Mother is resting in the hospital. She has been in and out of a coma since the heart attack happened yesterday. It is past visiting hours now, so I will bring you to see her tomorrow. For now, will you stay with me while you are here? Is your daughter coming as well?" Lois was overjoyed to be staying with Alice as she knew that Alice would not be asking her for money during her stay. All the other siblings were always hinting that they could use a little extra cash everyt

Alice took Lois to see their mother in the hospital. Most of their siblings were at work at this time. So only Howard was there. He knew that Lois would show up today and wanted to see if she was going to help with the medical expenses. As soon as he saw Lois he said "You finally made it! I'm so glad that you could come. I've been so worried about Mother. But she seems better today. Let's go in now." Lois was shocked to see her mother in such a condition. Her mother was laying in bed with tubes running in both arms and monitor wires on her chest. She even had an oxygen mask on her face. She looked so pitiful. Lois was moved to tears upon seeing her. She said to her Mother "Mom, I'm here! Can you speak?" Her mother was awake and looked over at Lois and said "I'm so sorry to bring you here. I didn't mean to disrupt your life like this. I'll be OK. The doctor's have been taking good care of me these last few days. I may be able to go home soon." Her mother really was sorry to caus

Just as Debbie was headed to the podium to give her welcome speech, she saw her two uncles out of the corner of her eye. She nudged Rick and said "That looks like trouble!" Rick glanced over and saw the two men nervously looking around the room. He had to agree with Debbie's accessment of the situation. Rick replied to Debbie "Wait a moment before you start your speech. Let me go over and find out what they are doing here. I don't remember their names being on the guest list." So Rick casually walked over to Brad and William Blain and said "I'm surprised to see you both here. Was there something you needed?" Brad was already covered in sweat. He was very uncomfortable being around so many of the people that the Blain family once did business with. He looked up at Rick and said "We just wanted to see how Debbie was doing with the old firm. Is she available for a chat?" Rick had an idea what the two wanted to chat about, and thought that today was not the day to have that di
