Governor O'Leary was scheduled to speak after the first prayer. The mayor and the police chief were also on the docket. A choir from a local church planned several hymns.

After their photos were taken, Charles picked up the microphone and spoke in fluent Sommersetese. He first thanked the city for receiving him.

Unfortunately, we have limited space, so I can’t invite everyone to the venue in person!

I wish Sommerset happiness…” He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

GIANNI “Idon't care that he thinks it's charity. The man's car was totaled, and the least I can do is make sure he gets a new one. It's not like I'm buying him a Mercedes. It's a goddamn Acura, for fuck’s sake.” To think. Charles Cole, refusing my generosity. Who am I kidding?This is entirely the sort of thing he’d do. The man will cut off his nose to spite his face if it means accepting something from me. “I hope he enjoys driving a rental for the foreseeable future, then.”

He realized the answer as soon as he saw the three large men coming out of the one of the nearby warehouses toward the car and heard Charles unlock his door as they approached. Kade tried to put on his father’s stoic face as the car door was opened. He held his backpack on his lap, like some sort of pathetic defense. He was in his school uniform still, and he felt very young and very small as the big men in their nondescript dark suits looked down at him in the gathering evening. “Well done.” One of the men extended a thick envelope toward Charles, and Charles took it. His face had a twisted, frozen expression on it, as if he were holding back his words.

Lekky smiled, thankful she had Mirabella in her life. "Now we will start the program proper." The anchorman announced. "Let's all rise to our feet and give our country Nigeria the respect she deserves, let's recite the national anthem before we start anything at all." He said and everyone present in the massive hall stood to their feet and sang with different tones.

Even though he had mixed feelings, Gray chose to remain quiet and accompanied the mayor to his wife’s grave. She died many years ago because of an attempt of assassination. Leaving a huge gap in his heart, Charles vowed not to remarried and to be reunited in the afterlife. Gently, Charles knelt and put down a beautiful flower in front of his wife’s grave. He stroked the grave and muttered some words while smiling. With Gray’s help, Charles got up and decided to go back. Since he didn’t have any activity, Gray offered to escort him. Walking side by side, the two of them attracted the townsfolks attentions. Along the way, people greeted the mayor with respect while glared at him angrily. How d

On the other end of the call, Charles’ voice was filled with fury. “You can’t leave the company without my permission! Ever!” I sent him a photo of the resignation letter he had signed himself. Charles roared, “I never signed that! I don’t accept this! Get back here immediately!” At that moment, Nathan walked over with a design sketch. “Miss Keenan, I just drafted a suit design.

"It's a tragedy," he snapped, shooshing Clara out of the car.

' But Cara turned away. Charles looked up at Cara with a confused expression. 'I didn't steal anything,' he said, his voice shaking. 'I was just trying to give my mom a birthday gift. I saw the shoes and I thought she would like them, so I put them in the box. I didn't mean to do anything wrong.' He looked at Jolie, then back at Cara. 'I didn't steal anything.
