By the time Warren was gone, the shares would naturally fall into their hands.
Bainbridge caught on and looked at his father, his eyes wide with shock,
“Dad, that’s your father we’re talking about!”
“Bainbridge, when you’re playing for high stakes, you don’t get squeamish. You wanna wait around for him to hand everything over to Howard? What do you think Gwendolyn meant with her last words? And if she asks for the shares, do you think Warren would give
them to her
He would! Bainbridge was all too certain of it, because Warren would trade everything he had for a shot at good health.
“Dad, Waldo left behind some of that special powder. Let’s sweet–talk Warren Into leaving the hospital, and then…
It was the quickest way.
In the end. Bainbridges ambition and desire got the better of him. For a 30% stake, he was willing to cross any line.
Jarvis patted his shoulder, contented. “Glad you see it my way”
Their phones buzzed with a notification from the company system as they spoke: Shareholders‘ meeting tomorrow.
Bainbridge and Jarvis exchanged a look, each seeing the gravity in the other’s eyes.
“As for the shareholders‘ meeting. Howard is definitely coming prepared.”

A car r
rolled gently up to the Chadwick family’s cozy cottage.
Roselind and Jeannie stood at the entrance, craning their necks in anticipation.
At the sight of the car approaching, they scurried to greet it
“Take it easy. I’ve got you, Jeannie said as she tenderly supported an injured Gwendolyn.
“Mr. White, let me take that for you. The guest room is all set up, fresh sheets and bedding sunned and ready” Roselind said eagerly, trembling with excitement.

Enoch nodded.
“Mr. White looks tired. Maybe we should show him to his room to rest, Gwendolyn suggested, noticing the weariness in his eyes.
“Of course! Marina, quick! Bring the prepared meal up to Enoch’s room,” Roselind called out. She led Enoch to the guest room
Jeannie hovered around Gwendolyn like a bothersome fly. While Howard was left unattended.

She treated Gwendolyn like royalty.
Eventually. Howard had to pull her away. “Gwendolyn is going to rest”
“Oh, then I’ll make the bed for her, she always found a way to curry favor

Howard glanced at her and offered, “Shower first, then something to eat?”
“Sounds good,” she agreed.
“I’ll run the bath” Howard said, tuming toward the bathroom, where the sound of running water soon filled the air.
Gwendolyn’s cheeks bumed with a blush.
Outside, the sky deepened from dark to pitch, and the room was bathed in the soft glow of wall lamps, as if submerged in a golden dream.

Her phone in her bag began to vibrate frantically.

The caller rang again.
After a moment of thought, Gwendolyn answered the call.
