CHAPTER 122The board members diligently filled him in on all that had been going on while he was away.He looked through every financial report, listened to the problems that arose and their proposed way of solving it, he nodded with satisfaction after hearing that the company was doing really well in the stock market and the numbers were attracting even more investors. Also, two companies, a bank and another tech company that they had a large position in was now climbing really high in stocks, thanks to his decision to hire an expert stockbroker despite the huge remuneration he asked for. His advice had eventually paid off."I'm extremely pleased at how smoothly everything has been moving, and at this pace, I think it's safe to say that I can retire in peace."Xavier's ears peaked up at the news but he said nothing. A low murmur ran through the crowd as they wondered what he was hinting at."Oh, no, I'm not saying I'll retire," Caleb quickly added with a chuckle, making everyone la

CHAPTER 124The days went by quickly and soon it was just a day to the surprise party.Jane and Caleb were back to their normal routine of attending meetings, reviewing reports, awarding contracts and the sorts.The word about the party had now spread and people's curiosity increased."How can you of all people not know what the party's about?" Stella asked Rose, following her around as she supervised the finishing of the decorations."Trust me, I'm just as surprised as you are." She shrugged, then turned to the decorator "Do you think that would be better tied in a bow?" She asked the decorator who shook her head."That's totally bullshit, Rose," Stella continued. "Why don't you just ask him?""Do you think I haven't?""It's possible. You're not actually as sensible as you think you are."Rose turned slowly to face Stella."Listen, I'm old enough to give birth to you so I'd suggest that you watch the words you say to me.""Oh, please Rose," Stella rolled her eyes with a chuckle. "It'

CHAPTER 126Caleb inhaled deeply before he began."Jeffery is my son, no doubt. And I find your choice of the word 'illegitimate' rather degrading. But there is obviously a difference when you expect a child and they come and having a child that was rather unexpected...""So your illegitimate... I mean, unexpected child does not mean much to you?" The reporter asked with fervor as she hastily scribbled something on her notepad.Caleb chuckled. "I said no such thing, did I?""But you just said..." The reporter started but Caleb quickly cut in."As the father, I have the power to decide what I want with my wealth and to whom I want to bequeath it. All my children are important to me, and to put it more directly, yes, my unexpected child from another woman will also have a share of what I own.""Mr Lockwood, don't you think that's a little discriminatory?" The lady asked again with eagerness for more juicy replies. "How would you react if someone else was in your place.""I just said tha

CHAPTER 128In less than half an hour, Bianca's bags she had brought with her was stuffed into the boot of her car.A stunned silence still hung in the house and even though the workers were glad that she was now leaving, none of them said a word or outwardly expressed their joy. None of them liked her for her bossiness and her entitlement mentality and whenever they knew none of the family members could hear them, they would gather round and make degrading comments about her in whispered voices.After the last trunk was placed in the backseat of her car, Bianca emerged from her room with Jeffery in the stroller. Everyone watched, both angry and shocked that she could do such a thing.Bianca stared boldly at each one of them, as if trying to cook up an excuse for everything but she couldn't come up with an explanation. She wasn't used to feeling such powerlessness and so she tried her best to act neutral, as if none of it fazed her, as if she didn't bother about losing everything she

CHAPTER 130Bianca was still reeling from the embarrassment of being kicked out of the Lockwood's house, but what hurt her more was the victory she saw in Stella's eyes when they glanced at each other.It was too late to try to fight back, and even if she wanted to, she needed a solid plan. And there was only one person who could help with that.The City Park was occupied with only a few young people passing time while they waited either for a train or resting from lunch.None of them paid her any attention as she drove in and she was glad to find the sleek black Audi already parked there.She unhooked her seatbelt and picked Jeffery from the other seat before stepping out of the car.All the windows of the Audi were up and she tapped on one of them before the car made a small beeping sound, showing that it had been unlocked.She opened the door and stepped in."Why the hell did you bring him along?" Xavier asked with a deep scowl on his face. He was staring straight ahead, as though
