"Thanks for the cookies Little Bud," said Paul as he got a pack for his son. Her signature home-baked choco chip cookies.
"So shall we get back to business?" I asked as the girls went to watch a movie giving us privacy.
"Where do I start," said Paul.
"Is it about Venom or Liam?" asked Alex.
"I got a tip that Ms.Wang has been running around Jane Smith," said Markus.
Alex and I looked at each other.
"Do you mean the Smith girl we met in uni?" asked Alex.
"Yes, I also heard that she is supposed to marry Liam,"
"WHAT!!! that brat..."
"Hmm.. I don't know why but I feel she might be behind the accident that happened to Ms.Sarah," said Markus looking at Paul.
"I think I will have to look into it," said Paul with a knowing look.
"So you know the whole story from uni time," I asked.
"Yes, Markus told me. And the Smiths were furious at that time. So sent her abroad for a few years. But she came back being a pretty bad girl," said Paul.
"Does she involve in business?" asked Alex.
"No. Mr.Smith gave all of that to his son and neglected her so the only thing she does is party and make her parent's life miserable, creating news all around,"
"Poor Liam" was all Alex said making all of us laugh.
"Markus, do you really think what happened to Sarah back then is just a revenge attack?" I asked.
"Hmm... I cannot tell exactly but I feel that this could be a combination of it and the Riverston project,"
"You mean she still has issues with that past incident?" asked Alex.
"Could be. I have solved cases with such motives for generations," said Paul.
"Hmm..... For generations...oh my...." said Alex.
"Benny... could this be one of those generation revenges?" he asked suddenly.
"HUH!!" I asked.
"I mean we cannot find a reason behind all this," said Alex.
Paul after thinking for a while said,
"I think we need to find out more about Liam and his father, Mr.Alexander,"
"Why?" I asked.
"Only if we find only we can figure out a connection,'
"Then I should ask my father too," I said as I only trust him to tell me something.
"I think it's good you ask your father, and we know that Ms.Wang has a connection with Sarah's family," said Paul.
Paul's assistant came by carrying some more news.
"Sir, we got some information," he said.
"Ok,"
"We had been following Ms.Wang the past month and she hasn't visited Liam the last two weeks,"
"That means there is trouble," said Alex.
"Seems like it. Our informer said that Liam really didn't like her, but used her as bait in his plot. Seems like he regrets what he did for Ms.Sarah,"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"We still don't know. But there must be some connection we cannot patch up. Maybe with Dave," he said seriously.
"But the thing is how could these two meet? They didn't go to the same school or did anything that made a connection," said Paul.
"Was it a girl?" said Alex out of nowhere.
None of us had any idea. But I made it a point to talk to my father the next day.
"Sarah,"
"Hmm..."
"I am going to meet my father for a while, do you want to come?" I said hugging her from the back.
"No, you go.. I promise to bake something for the charity event Paul told me about,"
"Will I get a share, please"
"Hmmm.... I will think about it..."
With that, I left to see my father next door, who was doing some gardening.
"Hi, Ben,"
"Father,"
"If you are looking for your mother she's in the kitchen,"
"hmm mo I came looking for you"
"What's up? is everything alright?"
"Can we talk for a while?"
We went to my father's study and I told him about everything we discussed yesterday. My father after a while got up and bought an old photo album.
"Well, your grandfather was the best friend of Mr.Alexander, in those days. Like me and Alex's father. They started the business together and worked hard to make it to bring it where it is today. But unfortunately, due to the bad influence, Alexander's father became greedy and tried many ways to blame his grandfather to get the business under his name. So later my father left the company with his shares and started the company we run today."
"Then?"
"Somehow Alexander's father was jealous because our business was blooming while he ended up doing bad things to get things done. This became well known and everyone started to stay away from their company,"
"So is this all happening because of jealous?" I asked.
"I don't know exactly the reason why he hates us. But he must have had some motivation that had head passed down to Liam, his grandson,"
