Chapter 95
A Long Hand
Broderick and his men drove inside B Hotel. Once the door of the car opened, he stepped down and saw
hundreds of others cars parked in the mansion.
Today, the Alessandro‘s family home and abroad hade together for their n‘s urgent meeting and
B Hotel hall was used as their meeting point. Broderick stepped inside the hall and saw arge number
of people seated. He couldn‘t even recognize many of them since many of the older ones prefer to give
birth to their children in other developed countries so they can get the citizenship of those developed
countries.
Broderick had never seen any reason to travel abroad, he rather wants North Hill to rise from a
developing country to a developed country. He was fully patriotic unlike many who were here today.
Broderick noticed that many had a malicious look on their face. Weren‘t they supposed to be cheerful
and greet him? Broderick went to seat amidst one of the seats while he awaits the presence of the n
master.
The eldest of a n is always, by default the head of the n. A lot of people began to talk, some were
rumouring and somedies were having gist with each other. They just had to keep doing something
while awaiting the arrival of the n master.
“The n Master is here,” Someone shouted from the back and everywhere became quiet at once. An
old man who should be in his seventies appeared. His bodyguards couldn‘t follow him inside the hall as
this was a n meeting and whatever is discuss in here has to be private.
Everywhere became as quiet as a graveyard. The old man walked to the center seat that was specially
reserved for the n Master.
“Greetings!” His old but mighty voice sounded.
Everyone stood including Broderick, they echoed with a slight bow of their head,” you are wee, Lord
Dous.” Lord Dous gestured for everyone to sit and everyone sat including Broderick Lord Dous
ced his big IPAD on the table and adjusted the ss on his eyes to make it restfortably on his
nose, he scrolled through some stuffs on hisptop then he raised his head and looked around, once his
face fell on Broderick, he gestured for him to stand.
Broderick stood and bowed slightly,” Master!”
The man starred at him with an emotionless gaze and said,” your great grandfather managed the
Alessandro’s corporation and it didn‘t crash. Your grandfather managed it well and passed it on to your
father. Your father worked hard to maintain our reputation in the city but when it gets to you, within a
period of seven years of being the head of the Alessandro’s corporation, you destroyed it to nought. Do
you have an exnation behind this?”
“My Lord, In my first three years as the CEO of the Alessandro’s corporation, I literally doubled the
annual revenue and even you sent a message across to my mail then, congratting me for a job well
done. I’m sure other n members will see the result of my sess in the Alessandro’s n group chat.
However, Michael Alessandro came over to North Hill six months and out of jealousv. burnt down the
company,” Broderick exined.
“Do you have any prove that Michael was the one who burnt thepany?” He asked.
Along Hand
“No, my Lord.” Broderick responded. “But not to worry, I‘m not a bastard that will let the familypany
crash, I am building another one and work has already started on it, in five to six months, we would be
done. It will be a resurrection of the Alessandro‘spany. It will be bigger andrger than the previous
Alessandro‘s familypany.”
Lord Dous looked down to his IPAD and read few lines from the note on his IPAD and said,” it‘s a
good thing you are working hard to build anotherpany for the family but we can not overlook your
ipetence. Hence, I have discussed with the elders privately before this meeting and had now
decided to punish you.”
Broderick remained standing still, just staring at the old man and not saying anything,
Lord Dous raised his gaze to Broderick and said, “Will you ept the punishment or will you
disregard us just because of your status as the most powerful man in North Hill?“.
“I have been taught to respect my elders. I will definitely ept the punishment,” Broderick said and Lord
Dous nodded.
“Before I dere your punishment, your second offence which I and other elders of the n consider
very brutal is depriving Nell off her right, you sent her out of her home and made her a nonentity. You
made the bank freeze her ount and let her beg for food on the street.”
“She...”
“Quiet!” Two men shouted on Broderick, they were the one sitting close to Lord Dous, one of them
spoke harshly, “how dare you interrupt our master?” “Did you not learn to let elders finish talking before
you interrupt?” The second man asked angrily.
“I‘m sorry.” Broderick apologized. He had wanted to exin before but with the way the n elders
rebuked him, he dared not to say a word again.
“Can I go ahead now or should I shut my mouth?” Lord Dous asked. “Please go ahead, my Lord”
Broderick said with a slight bow of his head.
“Nell, can you stand, please?” Lord Dous gestured to Nell where she sat. She was amidst those
sitting at the backend of the hall by a corner so Broderick didn‘t even catch a glimpse of her when he
walked in.
Nell stood with an angry and malicious face, she began to cry and said,” my own godson made me
homeless. I was good to him when he was young but he treated me like trash now just because he feels
too powerful. He got intoxicated with power and made me be a subject of ridicule in the city despite
by old age,” she cried even more.
“Whatever exnation you have behind treating an old woman this way is not valid. If she was your
mother, would you have treated her the way you did? Just because you know Nell is barren and she has
no child to defend her, you treated her this way,” Lord Dous said and looked at Broderick as if he was
looking at a very wicked somebody.
Lord Dous then gestured for Nell to sit, then he began, “Broderick Alessandro, your punishment as
decided by me and other n elders is this; you will step down from the position of the most powerful
man in NorthHill and let him have it.” Lord Dous gestured to someone who just walked in and
Broderick trailed his hand only to see a strange tall man. Broderick had no idea whom he is, he then
turned to Lord Dous and said, “If it pleases the
Alm Hand
He immediately sent a message to her saying, “Hey, this is Brett, Mr. Broderick’s peruna assistant. We
need to talk and it‘s urgent.”
A few seconds after Brett‘s message sent, Amy‘s call came through to his phone and he answered it,”
Mr. Brelt, where are you?”
“At B Hotel, can youe over?”
“Aren‘t the Alessandro‘s n having a meeting at their VVIP Hall of B Hotel? I don‘t want anyone of
them to see me. Can we meet somewhere else?” Amy asked,
Brett ced the call on hold and went to ask one of the guards standing at the entrance of the WIP hall,”
hey! Can you tell me what time the Alessandro‘s n are likely to get done with their meeting?”
“It usuallyst for two to three hours.” The guard responded and Brett thanked him before walking away
from him.
He resumed the call and said to Amy,” none of the Alessandro‘s n member will see you as their
meeting willst for another one hour or more. I could havee out of the hotel to see you but
Broderick told me to wait outside for him. I will book a room here for you so when youe, you would
just walk inside the room then we can meet there?”
Amy could perceive the urgency in his voice so she said,” I‘lle.”
Amy told Joan about it and they both got dressed quickly. Joan had learnt to be everything that a
personal assistant needs to be including being a fast driver during an emergency. Joan drove very fast
while Amy sat beside her wondering what could be going on. In a jiffy, their car pulled over at the garage
of B Hotel and Amy wanted to step out but Joan spoke, “Amy, breath in.”
Amy breathed in and eventually breathed out at Joan‘smand. “I‘ll wait here for you, if you need
anything, don‘t hesitate to let me know, okay?” Joan asked caringly.
“Got it,” Amy hugged her briefly and stepped out. She didn‘t dress like a Muslim cleric cause she will
attract attention as many will suspect that she must be the CEO of the Meedaq‘s group so she didn‘t
cover her face at all.
Not many people recognize her plus she had her head lowered, Brett appeared before her and said,”
follow me.”
Amy didn‘t say any word but kept her head lowered and followed him. She knew he was Brett with a
quick nce at his face. In a jiffy, they were both standing before the room. Brett looked to the left and
right to be sure no one was watching then opened the door and they both stepped in after which he
locked the door.
“First of all, you are wee back to NorthHill. Just remembered I haven’t had the chance to properly
wee you,” Brett said.
“Thank you. What‘s the matter?” Amy asked curiously.
“You should be aware that Mr. Broderick lost his memory…” Brett paused and after she nodded, he
continued, “I don‘t know what the Alessandro family discussed but Mr. Broderick had been asked to step
down as the most powerful man in NorthHill for...”
A Long Hand
“For who?”
“For Mr. Michael Alessandro.”

At the mention of Michael, Amy‘s heart skipped. “Michael is back to NorthHill?” She asked.
“Yes, he is and he has already signed the transfer of ownership documents of the biggestpany ever
that Mr. Broderick is building. I‘m worried that with Mr. Michael‘s newly found power, he can make life
horrible for both you and Mr. Broderick. Can the both of you please leave NorthHill? I don‘t want him to
bully you.” Amy thought deeply and said,” Leaving NorthHill is not an option. This is my city, my home.
No where in the world can be like home. Rather than running away from the enemy, don‘t you think it‘s
better to defeat the enemy?” Amy‘s voice was unexpectedly calm. “Miss. Amy, you don‘t even have any
power, how can you fight with a man like Michael? The previous time, he seded in taking you away.
I‘m worried that it may get worse now.” “I‘m the CEO of Meedaq‘s group. Did you still think I‘m not
powerful?” Amy asked.
Brett was shocked. It was impossible for him to believe but he knew that Amy can not be lying.
“You are aware that it was Martha that made Broderick and the kids loose their memory, right? “Amy
asked.
“Yes, I know but she warned me not to tell it to anyone or she will kill my grandmother. How did you know
this revtion cause it‘s hidden from the public?” Brett asked.
“Let‘s just say I have ears everywhere,” Amy responded and handed over her business card to Brett.
“Give this to Broderick Alessandro. I‘ll be expecting his call.” Amy walked out while Brett just watched
her. With Amy‘s newly found power, she should be able to withstand Michael‘s power this time, right?
While Amy was walking through the passage of the hotel, the door of a room suddenly opened and a
long hand grabbed her and pulled her in. Boom! The door closed hard.
