Chapter 73 Why Does He Sound Like ‘Him’
Amy took few steps further as if scared. Actually, she can’t even read her own emotions at this moment
but she was sure she didn’t want to stay close to him.
Amy turned to Broderick and began to walk back towards him,” I seem not to understand what your
brother is saying?” “What did he say?” Broderick asked her with a frown.
“You can’t discuss our conversation with a third party. Remember we both have secretes, you won’t like it
it be exposed here,”
Michael said.
“Are you threatening me, Mr. Michael?” Amy asked with anger.
“I am not, I just don’t want you to tell him our conversation. It should remain between us,” Amy
interrupted.
“Were you the one that burned down the family’spany?” Broderick asked calmly. “I did.” He
responded.
“You fucking bastard! You burn down the family’s legacy? Our fore fathers struggled hard with their
sweats to build the biggest
building in the continent and you heartlessly burnt it down. Have you gone out of your mind?” Broderick
yelled angrily at him.
“Shut the fuck up, Broderick!” Michael said sternly. The gentlemanliness on his face vanished at once,
his face was now stern and harsh that even Amy was surprised at his change in character. Was he a wolf
in sheep clothing? Otherwise, how could he burn down apany worth billions of dors?
Michael took a step further to him and said with rage,” you! It has always been you. Everything is always
about you. You got the favor of the family, you became the only heir of the family’spany while I’m
giving some measlynds and money as inheritance.”
“You burnt down thepany cause you are jealous of me, huh?” Broderick asked.
*Fuck jealousy! If I was jealous of you, I’ll take over thepany from you and not burn it down.” Michael
was burning hard in
anger.
“Mr. Michael, how could you be so cruel to do this? Did you know that we have over 700 staffs in the
company? Now they will all
be unemployed cause of your irrational act,” Brett said. He was angry at Michael, that was because he
didn’t really know who
Michael was.
*It’s a family matter, stay away Brett,” Broderick said to him and Brett quickly left the scene. Broderick did
that to protect Brett so
he and his family will not be a victim of Michael’s anger.
Michael ignored Brett like he was so insignificant, indeed, the gap between Brett’s family and the
Alessandro’s family was too
large. Who was Brett to even interfer in the Alessandro’s business?
” burnt down the building to break you! Your surname and being the heir of the Alessandro’s wealth will
not be able to sustain your position as the most powerful man in North Hill in the long run,” Michael said
with a very wicked smirk. When he turned to Amy, his smirk dissapeared into a smile but Amy find the
smile to be disgusting. No matter how good Michael had projected himself to be, burning an entire
building that took many generations to build already ruined his reputation before her
“Ouuu ouuuu. I’m crying… I’ll soon be amoner in North Hill,” Broderick ced his hand on his
eyes as if crying.
Everyone knows that he was been sarcastic,
broderick removed his hand all of a sudden and smirked, “Good one…hahaha..good one brother,”
Broderick patted Michael’s
shoulder and then said to Amy,” Miss. Cleo, we need to leave.”
*Sure” Athy said
Miss CEO, you seem to forget your position as my personal assistant, how can you walk away from
me?” Michael suddenly asked.
Amy was never Michael’s personal assistant, he just referred to her like that in public to protect her,
I came here with Mr. Broderick, it’s reasonable that I leave with him. Plus I can’t stay another moment to
have a conversation
with you, bye Mr Michael * Amy said and then walked away with Broderick
Martha sat in the Owen’s family mansion alongside Edith and Owen. Nell was also seated here.
have investigated with all my power to find who could be behind the video but I didn’t find anyone,” the
mayor said and sighed
in frustration
Edith was released from prison after she removed her face mask and took on a new identity.” The Mayor
paid a huge sum of
money to higher authorities to get her out. The bribery could only work because Martha can walk freely in
town without anyone identifying that she’s Theresa. But she knew she dare not to put on Theresa’s mask
anymore.
“That was a narrow escape! How would I have lived if it was my real face that was associated to the
crime. I would have lived my life in prison,” Marthamented,” mother, second mother… this is too risky, I
don’t know if I can continue with this.” “Idiot, how can you give up so easily? Didn’t you love Broderick?”
Nell asked.
“I love him but I’m scared. Things are not working out as nned. It’s like Amy’s spirit is around to hunt
us..” Martha said. “You are the one who is not smart enough. Weren’t you supposed to close the door of
the kitchen before you poisoned the food?” Nell rebuked her. “Mother, how did you feel about the
destruction of the Alessandro’spany?” Edith asked Nell.
“Indifferent, sincerely. I know it’s going to plummet our family down into a second ss or third ss
citizen of North Hill but I really don’t care. It’s Broderick who is enjoying all the benefits from thepany
that our fore father’sboured to build,” Nell
said.
“Well, now that someone else will soon evolve as the most powerful man in North Hill, I don’t think there
is any reason to let Edith
marry Broderick anymore,” the mayor said. “True. Broderick is useless now,” Nell said and added, “Let’s
wait for who will soon be the most powerful man in North Hill so we can ship Martha to him. If
Martha can get married to him, it will help my family and yours stay in the first ss seat of the society.”
“Fine, fingers crossed,” Edith said. A few secondster, “Mum!” Theresa suddenly called, drawing
everyone’s attention to her,” see this!” she showed Edith a top blog post on her phone and she read it.
“What!” Edith eximed.
“What is it?” the mayor asked curiosly.
“Someone else has announced himself as the most powerful man in North Hill,” Edith broke the news.
“What!” Nell eximed and stood from her seat, she snatched the phone from Edith and read for herself.
The person however had an ugly face that was full of scar.
“Was this person joking with the citizens of North Hill… His deration of asset is too extraordinary,” Nell
said..
The mayor stood and requested, “mother, please let me see.”
Nell handed over the phone to him and he read it, “Mother, I will be the one to confirm the authenticity of
the man’s asset ording to our culture. I will immediately summon a council meeting and give you
feedback.” “Okay, do that immediately,” Nell said and the mayor walked out hurriedly.
Edith stood and said,” how can someone be so rich? I don’t think someone as rich as that can be born in
North Hill.”
“Let the mayor find out,” Nell said,
Once someone else is confirmed as the most powerful man in North Hill by the mayor and the city
councils, such person’s family
well rose alongside to be the most powerful and the Alessandro’s family’sworth and stance will
drop vehemently.
“Mother, we don’t know how ruthless this man will be yet, I’m already thinking if he will ept Martha,”
Edith let out her worries.
What! Mum, are you even thinking of shipping me to that ugly man?” Edith asked angrily. These people
don’t even care about what she wants of what she doesn’t, they just think they can marry her off to
anyone as long as it benefits them.
“Be quiet!” Neli said,” let’s get a feedback from the mayor first
Edith and Nell then sat back
Eoin offered Nell food but she refused. She want to know if this news of the person who just announced
himself as the most
powerful man in NorthHill is authentic.
Over the decades, the Alessandro’s family had retained that position and there was no family in NorthHill
that is half as wealthy , as the Alessandro’s family. The Alessandro’spany that was recently burnt
down didn’t and has never had apany that is
worthy ofpeting with it.
About six hourster, it was already 9PM at night, yet the three women were still seated at the living
room. They were only
leaving the living room when they wanted to ease themselves. The mayor appeared and Nell stood at
once,” what did you find out?”
“Mother, please sit. I’ll exin what I find out to everyone,” Carlton said and Nell sat. The three women in
the room set their gaze keenly on him.
“It’s real. That man is a citizen of North Hill. His personal assistant provided us with his birth certificate.
The man owns the
biggestpany in our neighborhring cities; East Hill, South Hill and West Hill. He only doesn’t have a
company here, he said it is because he didn’t want topete with the Alessandro’s familypany. He
has the biggestpanies in four continents; Africa, North America, South America and Asia. His wealth
cuts across every circles of business and his total asset isn’t even in billions, it’s beyound billions,”
Carlton dered.
Everyone was shocked.
“Is he a god?” Edith asked. Cause how in the world can someone be so wealthy?
“He’s not, but I guess God had decided to make him another ‘Solomon.’ Mother, so far, his personal
assistant has been very responsive to us and I think that’s a good sign that it will be easy for us to
communicate with him in the future,” Carlton said.
“You have to marry your daughter off to him,” Nell said to Calrton.
“Mother! how can you say this to me? This man is ugly and scary,” Martha protested.
“Mother, don’t worry. As long as you can help us convince this new powerful man to take in Martha, we’ll
make her his,” Edith said, not even minding Martha’s protest. “Arrange a meeting with him tomorrow
morning. Afterall, you are the mayor, he should honour your first request,” Nell said. “I’ll do that,” Carlton
responded. When it was the following morning, Carlton, Edith, Martha and Nell stepped down from their
range Rover and walked towards the super big gate that had a very tall fence around it. Few people in
North Hill who hade to this area had always wondered what was inside thisrge fence, no one
knew that a secretly powerful man resides there, After the securities had affirmed that there was no harm
on them, they let them inside.
In a jiffy, they all sat in arge room then a short but muscr man appeared in a white shirt, white
trouser and white shoe,” |
guess you are the mayor?” the man asked casually, looking at the mayor and the people with him with a
demeaning look. “Yes, yes…” the mayor responded quickly. “I’m BA’s personal assistant, hold on for five
hours. That’s when he will be ready to meet with you,” the personal assistant said and didn’t wait for their
response or reaction before he walked away. “So disrespectful!” Martha said.
“Keep quiet,” Edith cautioned her. “Mother, what did you think?” the mayor asked Nell.
“I think he’s just trying to test our patience. My family is about to experience the greatest mockery In
town, I can even wait for
twenty four hours to meet with him as long as I can get to partner with the most powerful man in North
Hill,” Nell said. Now that
everyone understood that the new most powerful man was just trying to test their patient, they all waited
for him in silence.
Precisely five hourster, two men in ck appeared, another two men in ck appeared, two, two men
began to appear one
after the other and arranged themselves around the room.
Nell, Edith, Carlton and Martha were scared at the presence of this people, wasn’t the person that was
supposed to appear be the
most powerful man in North Hill, who are these numerous scary men in ck?
Suddenly, a heavy presence filled the room and the men in ck bowed and greeted.” Wee Ba, the
god of war.”
Fear filled the entire room and then Ba walked nobly to sit at the seat before them.
“Let’s keep this meeting brief, what’s your purpose ofing?” he asked in a very harsh tone. Everyone
seated was shocked with the tone he spoke with, Martha whispered to Nell,’ godmother, why does he
sound so much like Broderick Alessandro?” 1Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
