Tales Of Love

“Fine then, you’ll answer this question. After my father in-law died, you took over the Axel group when Santiago was still in America. For the two years you preside over the Group, list three achievements you were able to make?” Aurora inquired.

There was absolute silence. No one anticipated that question. Ramon Axel was tongue-tied as well.

Achievements? What achievements did he make back then? He wasn’t expecting this woman to throw him off balance on just a single question.

“Since uncle Ramon is still cracking his brain for an answer, I will just help him out whichever way I can” Aurora said and looked at the expectant face of everyone seated.

“Uncle Ramon’s first achievement was that the Axel group almost went into extinction and total collapse. Secondly, the shareholders and directors were withdrawing their shares and third but not the least, the Axel group went on the verge of bankruptcy with heavy loan debt in its account” Aurora outlined carefully.

“Insolent!!!” Ramon sprang up on his feet. This woman had dug up an unpleasant part in his administration during the period he presided over the Axel group.

“Sit down! Has she said anything wrong?” Old man Axel yelled at his son. Ramon couldn’t refute the fact that Aurora was right.

But he least expected her to know so much. Had Santiago been telling her all negative things about him and the period he was presiding over the Axel group?

Aurora remained expressionless, but Palmer and Mira were smiling. Leron Suddenly wore a long face.

Ramon took his seat as old man Axel beckoned to Aurora to continue what she was saying.

“If you had spent another six months as the President, the Axel group would have long been forgotten. But my dear Santiago took over, stabilized the company, planted branches in other countries and ranked one of the riches and if I am not mistaken, it’s the no 1 group in Florence City.

With these great achievements and progress acquired by my darling husband, you suddenly appear from thin air and want to take over the position of the President? Think through carefully and ask yourself if you are qualified for that position” Aurora concluded.

Palmer felt like applauding Aurora. Mira couldn’t help but openly give a thumb up. Ramon felt his hand clenched into a fist. This woman had caught him in a place that is not good. He had lost face and couldn’t retort at her.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“If father cannot, how about me? Is cousin Santiago the only grandson of the Axel family?” Leron asked. He had seen that his father had been defeated. His silence had indicated he was speechless which subsequently implied that he had no words to justify his previous act.

“Oh Leron Axel. You want to be President? In what ways do you intend to expand the horizon of the Axel group?” Aurora inquired, with a poker face. This fellow was the easiest for her to defeat. His scandals and unhealthy lifestyle will soon be exposed to his family.

“That cannot be said now, until I become the President,” Leron replied. He would not give this woman an advantage over him.

“You want to become President before you tell us your scope and objective for pursuing that position? You think we are kids and can easily be brainwashed with your lazy excuse?” Aurora demanded.

“Someone shut this woman up! I want Santiago to be here, I can’t sit here and waste words with this woman. I am ready to contend with my nephew and not some strange woman”Ramon declared. This woman was going to defeat his Son with her sharp tongue.

“Do you feel sad that Santiago is not here? Do you think you can contend with him arrogantly like this? Or do you think your son Leron is a match for Santiago in any aspect?” Aurora snapped at him.

“In what way is Santiago better than I? He’s a man, a grandson of the Axel family and so I am” Leron thundered.

“You and Santiago may be descendants of the Axel family but your approach to life is different. Your purposes are different and your self restraints are different. Santiago is disciplined, decent, foresighted and principled. Those are the qualities that make one a leader. Not someone like you who changes girlfriends like you change your Suits.

Should I tell everyone here what happened between you and Margaret? How many days you spent in that place you were confined and how you ended up being deported back to Florence City? With your dirty lifestyles, and the blood of your own babies you insisted on being aborted, you think you are qualified for the position of President of the Axel group?” Aurora insisted.

Ramon and his son Leron couldn’t answer any of Aurora’s questions. They both looked away. This woman knew they were deported back to their country? They had thought they would not be discovered but this woman had blown their covers. How did she know?

Leron had indeed forced ladies who get pregnant for him to commit an abortion until he met the stuborn Margaret. She refused to have an abortion and even sued Leron to court. The case went in favor of Margaret and Leron Axel was told to marry her for the child’s sake.

But to achieve what he wanted, Leron drugged her, which led to a miscarriage. Investigation showed that her drinks were containing drugs that induce a miscarriage.

And it was traced to Leron. Everything they’ve got and acquired were confiscated and they were deployed. Of course that was after Leron spent a good number of days in the Police cell.

Seeing they returned empty handed, their only source of becoming wealthy so soon is to occupy the position of the President and embezzle enough funds for themselves.
