Chapter 210: I'll Only Say This Once
AUGUST’S hold on the control grip tightened as he accelerated the speed of his motorcycle. His mind went blank as his heart thumped rapidly, feeling the bursting rage inside his heart. “Abducted?” August repeated Daphne’s statement earlier, but this time, he had a low and dangerous tone. “Fiona was almost abducted?” “Yeah,” Daphne confirmed on the other line. Daphne looked at Fiona who was sleeping peacefully in her white queen-sized bed, which was the exact opposite of her expression earlier when she called Daphne and sought her help. Fiona told Daphne that August was not answering her calls, and Daphne made it just in time to save Fiona from her abductors before they found her. Daphne was just as nervous as the young girl, but realizing that no one would save them at this moment except themselves, Daphne remained strong. And fortunately, they were able to reach the secret house and hide there for a moment. However, Daphne’s heartbeat was still rapid, her body and hands were s
Chapter 211: Search Warrant
“I WANT to request for the police’s involvement to investigate the case.”August’s words caused a ruckus in the entire place. The reporters became aggressive as they threw countless questions after that, and the camera flashes duplicated as well. The roads were filled with continuous buzzing, but August did not even falter. He was not prepared for this. He knew he would never be, but here he was again, letting himself be the bait for the predators to come to him.“I saw the articles. Well, some of them are trash and baseless, and I will ask my legal team to do something about it,” August stated, his eyes roaming at the reporters.While some of the reporters averted their gazes away, feeling guilty as some wrote baseless articles to have that promotion or monetary bonus, some reporters did not even blink an eye and stared back at August.“Everyone can talk shit whenever they want to, but they should be ready for the consequences as well. No one will know the truth unless we involve th
Chapter 212: Data Storage Room
WITH his forehead creased, Francis stared at his father more than usual. He tried to decipher the other emotion Francis could see in Wesley's eyes but failed.However, despite not knowing what was happening, Francis was certain about his hunch. Something is wrong with his father, and he needed to know what that was.“Why are you staring at me like that?” Wesley asked, his one eyebrow raised. “What do you want to ask me?”“What plan specifically do you have in mind?” Francis inquired, and a mixture of curiosity and nervousness was evident in his voice.Wesley remained silent. He leaned onto the couch and stared at Francis with his usual cold and domineering expression. He had a plan in mind, and Francis' reaction and answer to that plan would be the one to determine the answer to the question lingering on his mind for days.‘Is my son hiding something from me?’ Again, the question resurfaced.“About the search warrant…” Wesley made a short dramatic pause as he wanted to observe Fran
Chapter 213: Father Vs. Son
THE WOMAN’s grip on her skirt tightened, a sign that Wesley’s intimidation went onto her body already, but Wesley didn’t even change his expression. Instead, he intimated to Jennica more, who didn’t know what to do as of now.‘Sir Francis… Where are you?’ At the back of her mind, Jennica, one of Francis’ most loyal employees, asked for help. ‘How can I not obey the command of Sir Wesley? Because he’s right… He’s the head. The boss.’ And technically, Francis is just inferior to him.Jennica’s gaze remained on her shoes as her mind went elsewhere. The only instruction of Francis lingered in his mind like a haunted chant that came from the grave.“Don’t let anyone enter the data storage room except me, and the people with authority which are the selected doctors and engineers,” said Francis at that time, and Jennica nodded in response.Obviously, Wesley isn’t one of those people who have the authority to go inside the prohibited room, despite how high his position was.‘Shit,’ Jennica
Chapter 214: News
The next morning, August had a slight change in his work today. Instead of his usual routine, of sitting on the office chair while reviewing his never-ending business documents, he was with Sapphire today as they roamed around the different departments. He wanted to check if everything was still in place. Just because he was taking care of the revenge right now doesn’t mean that he would neglect his duties as Charles’ heir. And speaking of Charles, August missed him again, so he might visit him again once he found free time in his overwhelming schedule and emotions that were all over the place. Later on, he arrived at the strategy department—the department he cared about the most as he used to work there, too. August smiled at the back of his mind as his employees stopped talking about Fiona for now, even though it was still the most popular topic in the country. “What’s the progress of our products?” August asked Yolie, who is in charge of the products August wanted to formulate
Chapter 215: Evidence
“BREAKING NEWS! Francis Wellington just announced that they were going to take the situation to the next level. Just now, Francis Wellington with his lawyer representatives filed a complaint against Fiona Walker for slander.”“Francis, according to his recent interview with the press, told Fiona that she would soon be summoned to court and that the truth will prevail. As of now, the Remington family hasn’t responded to the speculations just yet.”“This issue also had been the talk of the country for days already, and all of them were dying to know the truth between the Wellington and Remington family as they were known as main rivals even before. This is also the first time that there was a public issue linking the two of them.”August could not take all the emotions at that
Chapter 216: Pain As The Strongest Motivator
WITH EVERYONE’S eyes around him, August opened the brown envelope and pulled the white paper inside it. His face was serious, his stance unwavering, and his aura exuded dominance and authority on it.After that, August stood firmly as his gaze roamed around the area. At that moment, the reporters were still doing what they were doing earlier—throwing him questions, being desperate to increase their news ratings, and dragging the other channels.But August didn’t give a shit about those channels or exclusive interviews. What he wanted was for the people to listen to him, and give their attention to him.Only him.In a second, the noisy buzz faded. The reporters suddenly noticed the intimidating aura August was exuding, which made them quiet even without
Chapter 217: Whistleblower
IN JUST one snap, August's remaining patience already faded. Before he even knew it, August pulled Francis in the collar to make him stand up.“Where is she?” August asked, his voice domineering and intimidating. “I could not contact her and Daphne for a while. What did you do to them?”“Oh, so Daphne is with Fiona?” Francis raised a brow, followed by the side of his lips rising, too. “That's nice. I hit two birds with one stone—”“Shut your trap,” August interjected, his gaze piercing into Francis' soul. “How evil are you to even consider killing innocent women just because of this?”Francis, all of a sudden, laughed in response. It was so loud that it reverberated around the room, and it gave
