CHAPTER 100: TURNS OF EVENTS
BRADLEY’S POVBelongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
I looked at the board room that had gone silent immediately I stepped in and I wondered if they were not the one full of activities before I came.
I looked at my uncle who was equally shocked about my arrival and I raised my lips in a smirk showing him that he could not even outsmart me even in their own game.
“I wondered what kind of meeting could be going on that the CEO was not informed of,” I say walking to my seat and I saw them all exchange glances. “Director Jayden you might want to explain to us why you called for a board meeting inviting only the director’s and not the CEO,” one of the board members was the one to speak up and I smiled seeing how they were throwing my cousin under the bus and I smiled expecting that kind of reaction though.
Jayden looked shocked seeing how the board members were trying to make him the scapegoat and he looked towards his father for help but the man just ignored him.
“I…I ..,” Jayden stuttered and I mocked him inwardly in my head. How could someone plotting against me be so dumb I felt offended.
“Don’t tell me you are trying to tell them about your recent failure. I’m actually planning to sweep under the rug since you are my cousin but now….,” I said coldly and I noticed the board members looked interested in what I said.
Of course, those old folks doesn’t like mistake and anything dirt like this they ensues sure they kick you out.
“, Mr. Hale, what did you mean by that?” One of the board members asked and the financial director went on to tell them what Jayden had done with the company funds.
“That’s unacceptable! We are definitely calling a stockholder meeting for his disciplinary,” one of the directors says and the other agrees.
I smiled seeing my plan was accomplished and I’m sure with the stockholder meeting they called Jayden would be demoted completely.
My uncle doesn’t look pleased with the turns of events and his face looked gloomy, but I was too occupied to care. The board members dispersed in groups each complaining about Jayden’s matter.
“He is your cousin, you should have cut him some slack,” I heard my uncle say and I smirked. “I’m his cousin but he is talking about my resignation,” u counterattacked and the man felt tongue-tied and he walked away from the room immediately.
“How did you feel about the turns of events?” I asked my cousin who was still in shock and I walked slowly to his side.
“I asked you not to dare go after me but it looks like you don’t like my advice at all,” I say and I walked out on my cousin that was gnashing his teeth in anger.
I knew my actions might have offended them but I knew very well that they couldn’t bring me down.
After briefing my assistant on some things I decided to rush back to the hospital.
OLIVIA’S POV
Georgina was still lying down while the woman who claimed to be her aunt was beside her.
Looking at the woman there was no doubt that she could be related to Georgina but I don’t trust her to be good, especially since the lady that brought her to the hospital was screaming of hypocrisy so I decided not to be fooled.
“You claimed to be her Aunt, then where have you been all this while?” I asked and Victoria gasped, hearing my question but I didn’t bother with her.
The woman looked hurt with what I asked but I didn’t care. I felt like we needed to know because no one would just come and play Aunt and we would believe her.
“I didn’t know that she was actually alive until recently,” the woman says, dampening her face with a handkerchief because her tears wouldn’t stop streaming down and Victoria glares at me.
“I am sorry for the question but it’s just that Georgina is like a sister to me so yi can’t blame for getting angry on her behalf,” I say and the woman nods her head understanding what I was saying.
“But you say until recently, are you just getting to know of her existence?” I asked and she nodded.
“Yes, someone sent me a letter a few months ago and that’s when my search started. I don’t even know if she survived the massacre that happ…,” the woman says but she choked on her words because of her sobs.
I noticed Victoria glares were getting intense so I decided it was better I bolted out of there before my journalist’s mouth runs again.
“I need to get something at home so you can stay with Georgina for some time,” I say and I rushed towards the door but my steps halted when I remembered something.
“Thank you for looking for me,” I said and the woman looked at me. “I know I have been a jerk today and you might not like me but I’m happy that you are here for Georgina, she is going to be happy when she wakes up and if she does wake up tell her that I love her,” I say smiling with all my teeth.
“What are you saying it’s not like you are not coming back here,” Victoria says and I glares at her playfully. “I know but what if she wakes up when I’m gone,” I say and I run out.
I got stuck in traffic and I was already angry about everything that was unfolding and the traffic jam was enough to get me on edge.
I looked to my right and I saw a restaurant so I decided to grab lunch since it didn’t look like the traffic was moving soon.
After grabbing my lunch I still saw the traffic still not moving and I knew something was up somewhere but my eyes caught something interesting.
I looked at what was going on in shock and I wondered what Bradley’s cousin was doing with one of the notorious drug lords in the country.
I knew the man because someone had given me a scoop about it before but my boss warned me about taking the case.
I looked at the kind of building the two entered and even though it was across the street I knew something shady might be going on there so I decided to follow it up. in
I walked towards the building but a thought was tugging my mind until it clicked. I had captured Bradley’s cousin and the man once while I was investigating the man’s case.
“That man…. in the picture,” I screamed remembering one of the pictures I took some days ago and I smiled knowing those two times couldn’t be a coincidence.
My journalist intuition was telling me that there was more to the meeting so I decided to swing into action.
“Did you mean I could score an exclusive with this,” I screamed getting out of the car and she followed the route the men took.
It was going to be my lucky day, I was going to get an exclusive, I thought of skipping into the building
