CHAPTER 93: CHAPTER NINETY-THREE: HER EYES ON THE COMPANY

Kendrick’s POV

She stared at me for a while before taking in a deep breath.

"I want you to save your brother’s life" she said with an authoritative tone.

She always has a way of amusing me, I smiled at her without saying anything.

"What’s with that expression? It’s your duty to save him!" she said with a commanding tone and I laughed.

It seems like the woman that was about to cry a few minutes ago was just an illusion.

"If you were going to be so unreasonable why did you put on an act from the start?" I asked her while still maintaining my smile.

"is that how to speak to your mother? You always act like a person without manners and proper upbringing" she reprimanded angrily.

"That’s enough now, I don’t have time to waste with you. So get straight to the point and drop the unnecessary drama" I said with a serious tone.

I have a meeting in half an hour and I don’t want her to ruin my mood as the meeting is very important.

"I told you that I want you to save your brother" she repeated angrily.

"You can ask grandfather for money, I am sure he will be happy to know that he has another grandson" I responded with a smile and her face immediately darkened in suppressed anger.

"Looking at your face, I am certain that he knows but doesn’t want to help, am I right?" I asked her after observing her expression.

"I want you to answer me with a simple yes or no" she said through gritted teeth while staring at my face.

"No" I replied nonchalantly and she immediately got up from her chair in anger.

"Do you really think I can’t get what I want? I have ways to make you comply" she threatened angrily.

"You have already tried but failed and that’s the reason why you are here, begging for me to help you" I said with a mocking tone while looking at her in disgust.

"It was you, You did it on purpose!" she yelled angrily at me.

I had the company’s accounts strictly monitored after I noticed that she was in desperate need of money.

She tried to secretly move money from the company’s account but the transaction was instantly blocked as it triggered the security set up.

"How sure are you that he will survive even if you get the money?" I asked her with a smile and noticed that she was so angry that her face had turned bright red.

"He will survive! How could you curse your own brother?" she yelled furiously at me.

I didn’t know how to feel, seeing her so agitated because of her other son while she treats me like her worse enemy.

"If you won’t help me, then it is obvious that you are against me. So you better be prepared" she threatened, she looked at me with so much hatred in her eyes.

"I will be waiting Mrs Singania" I said with a serious tone.

She is stunned by the way I addressed her and she glared at me before storming out of my office.

I took a deep breath to calm my emotions before bringing out a file from the hidden compartment in my desk.

I slowly opened it and saw a photo of a happy family. The man and woman seemed to be very in love and their son was a carbon copy of the man.

The woman who looked so beautiful and happy with a smile was my mother, who had abandoned him at a tender age.

While I was struggling to grow up and faced a lot of hardships, she was in another country with her lover. She got married and had another child, whom she showered so much love on.

My mother never tried to see how I was doing all these years and now...

My eyes darted to their names, my mother had changed her name to Miranda Singania after marrying her lover, Adrian Singania and three years later, she gave birth to her precious son, Zain Singania.

She lived happily for years until Zain was diagnosed with brain tumor. Her husband has spent all his money and even his company had to declare bankruptcy.

But when they ran out of money, she finally remembered that the Black family still exists and schemed her way back.

And my good for nothing father, Raymond?

No one knows where he suddenly disappeared to and no one has seen him. He even abandoned Celeste and his unborn child.

I immediately dialed Evan’s number and he picked up on the first ring.

"Come to my office" I instructed before hanging up without waiting for his response.

Few minutes later, he knocked and entered the office with a stack of documents.

"Boss, here are some of the documents for the meeting" he said while handing me the documents.

"Have you found any news about Raymond?" I asked him with a serious tone while flipping through the documents.

"No Boss, we have checked severally but still no news, Even Curtis is searching for him as well.

But there is something that I think you sh know about...." he paused for permission to continue and I nodded.

"Your mother was the last person that Raymond saw before he suddenly went missing and also she met with Celeste yesterday. Later, she transferred ten thousand Dollars from her account to Celeste.

We don’t know what their transaction is about yet but whatever it is, it definitely wouldn’t be in our favor" he reported with a serious expression and I pondered on his words.

"Arrange people to keep an eye on all of them, especially Celeste. She is always up to no good" I instructed and he nodded before quickly leaving to make the calls.

I put the folder back into the hidden compartment and continued going through the document for the meeting but my mind was filled with questions and uneasiness.

Lauretta was too good at erasing her tracks and now, she has her eyes set on the company.

The only way she can get it is by removing me from power which wouldn’t be possible with grandfather supporting me.

What could she be plotting by getting involved with Celeste?

Could they be targeting Christy again?
