Chapter 109: Clean up
She would give him more time and see just how he would make advances to her. But then she decided to call Rosalinda.
Meanwhile, Jace was getting scolded on the phone by his dad because of Tayo Dante.
“… your romance with the wrong woman had caused this loss to the conglomerate. Festus had gotten the connection and I told you that his daughter would be the ladder to connect us to that top. But no, you won’t.
You are stubborn and only think you know everything. You won’t even listen to your father. I foresaw this and tried persuading you to accept his daughter, but no.
You think I am an old man who doesn’t know about love and. Romance. This is what it has caused us. You have to clean up the mess you have created, Jace. Don’t let me get furious with you!..” Henry Hudson bellowed.
Jace was holding back his temper. He doesn’t want to let it loose and talk back at his father disrespectfully. But if it were to be someone else, he would have replied immediately and tell him to fuck off.
A man who withdrew his investment and share from the Hudson’s holding just because he refused to get entangled with that slutty daughter of his is the one his dad was scolding him for.
Such a man would one day use that same daughter of his to extort the conglomerate and ruin it. This is a red flag already, indicating that he should stay away from her as much as possible and he expect dad to see through the scheming personality of his friend.
“Dad, you should believe in me. You think I don’t know what to do or that I am not prepared for this eventuality? I already saw ahead of Festus Dante and I’m prepared for this.
But this is all your fault, dad. Why try to get me entangled with such a filthy woman? She’s having affairs with my bodyguard and I should still date and marry such a woman, right?
What kind of a man do you think I am, that I cannot make my decision and go after a woman that is attractive enough for me? Even if I became so immature and wanted to accept a woman you arranged for me, would it be such ugly skinny woman?
This is the 21st century and I know what I want in a woman. And to think of this, that the woman I am in love with is the mother of my son, your own grandson here. So please dad, leave me to handle things…”Jace Hudson declared.
Chase had walked in a few minutes ago and heard his brother’s conversation. So that woman was getting crashed by Jace’s bodyguard! This is really amazing.
Jace might have to gulp down the remnant of his bodyguard. He had disliked the woman the moment he met her. He likes women if it’s for the sole purpose of drilling them, but then, he dislikes her.
When Jace hung up, he glanced at his brother and said “Festus Dante sent a termination of partnership with us. I can only guess because I wouldn’t give a chance to any chemistry between myself and his crazy daughter.
And the worst of it all, is that dad scolded me and said I caused it. It’s so annoying why dad couldn’t depict the kind of person his damn friend is.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Everyone in that family seemed to be sick. I’m glad you stood on your feet and not slung. What are you going to do, now?” Chase asked, staring at his brother’s unfriendly countenance.
“Approve it and send him a termination immediately. I’m giving the slot to someone else. I don’t have the time to fuck around with some mischievous partners” Jace declared and sent a memo to his secretary.
It wasn’t quite an hour later after Festus Dante sent a request that he received a response of termination from Hudson’s holding attorney. He was requested to make a digital signature and return ASAP.
Festus glared at his email. Does it mean Henry Hudson cannot bring his son down to beg him, to apologise and start his relationship with Tayo, his daughter?
What kind of a weakling is Henry? How can he make him lose face before his sons? After being friends all these years, he still slapped him across the face with his cold nonchalant attitude?
He didn’t mean to end the partnership. In fact that is the only thing he has left in this life. That would have been his chip to get his way through his financial freedom forever, using his daughter Tayo as the ladder.
What now, his threats were returned in full dose. What should he do now, sign it or refuse? If he refused to sign it, it would appear as if he chickened out at the last minute.
To keep his head high, he would accept it and sign. His wife and himself had decided to start a business once they got a huge loan. The return from his investment would solve it, then.
To keep his ego untainted, he signed and sent back the signed documents. Thirty minutes later, his dividend and capital was credited to his account, a huge sum that runs in millions.
Jace thought of buying the open slot in Eli’s name but changed his mind. He would talk with Senator Adrian first and if he isn’t interested, he would buy it in Eli’s name.
Adrian Delmark was in his car, embarking on a political meeting when his phone chirped. He saw the caller ID and answered the phone.
“How are you, Jace Hudson?” Adrian Delmark’s deep masculine voice came from the other end. They saw each other a few hours ago and he hope there’s positive feedback from Arianna’s end to accept him as her father.
“I’m fine, Senator. I’m sorry if I bother you but decided to brief you about something important” Jace declared and paused.
“No, Jace. You are not bothering me and yes, you can go ahead with the briefing” Adrian Delmark replied.
“Thank you Senator. There’s an open slot in the Hudson’s holding. I would have loved to take it for my son but felt you might be interested if I discuss it with you.
An investor withdrew and I think you can take the position for your daughter and grandson’s sake. What do you think?” Jace explained.
Adrian Delmark quickly thought about Jace’s suggestion and said “Send the details to my email and I will take a look. I’ll send you my address now” Adrian Delmark declared and hung up.
If it’s saucy, he would do it for Arianna and his grandson, Eli. This will be the first thing he would ever be able to do for his daughter.
He sent the email received to his lawyer and waited for his call…
