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 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

A knock on the bedroom door made Zane look back at it and sigh before getting up from the bed. When he opened the door, he found Yoko standing there, and he stepped aside for him to come in. After walking into the room and waiting for Zane to shut the door, Yoko stated, “It’s safe to say today is the day. I have been monitoring Mr. Hester, and after a month of recovery, he has shown up at his company for three days straight, at eight o'clock, which means-”“We have a chance today.” Zane said, looking over at him, and Yoko gave him a small smile and nodded. “Then we set the plan for seven o'clock this morning.”Stepping away from Yoko, Zane headed to his closet and opened it, reaching for a black hoodie before stopping and saying, “About the other thing?”“We have no lead yet, boss. There are no records at any airline about Mr. and Mrs. Taylor buying tickets to leave the country.” Yoko said.A dull ache hit Zane’s heart at the thought of what this meant for Emma, and then he took out

The yard was crowded with police cars, including a squad car, a crime scene van, News Media vans, and an ambulance. "I had nothing to do with this! Why am I being arrested!" Ava cried at the top of her lung as the officers escorted her, Logan, and Elizabeth out of the house. The lights from cameras were all in their faces as the reporters shouted questions at them."What initiated you guys sinister plan?" Someone shouted from the crowd, causing a swarm of flashing cameras and microphones to suddenly come at them.Covering her face, Ava struggled against the police grip on her and screamed, "I am a victim here. I never knew my father had done something this... this heinous. I was only trying to be a good daughter and following my parent's request when they asked me just today to join them and help with something important. I never knew it was going to be this drastic."But within a split second, her heart ran cold when she heard a loud cry, "Liar! Liar! You are a heartless child! How

The hallway was quiet, but the tension was getting to Jason, especially since Emma hadn't stopped glaring at him since he told her that, and Mr. Alfred kept shooting daggers at him. "You want my shares in Vex Co. Why?" Emma questioned with suspicion in her voice, her eyes narrowing into little slits."Well, you seem busy with Blueprint Tech, and I just wanted to take the load off your shoulder and free you from the stress of operating two companies. Plus, you said you didn't want anything to do with Vex Co., so..." Jason trailed off and sighed, "Look, you gotta believe me, okay? We are on the same team, and I want to serve the Alfreds. After the hurt they caused you, I believe turning the company over to me would satisfy your thirst for revenge. But if that's not what you want-" "Get your lawyer, and meet me at the Olive Garden, and we can take this conversation further. '' Emma said, emotion suddenly lost behind her dull eyes. In disbelief that Emma agreed to everything he said w
