CHAPTER 3: The chairman of the carter's family
Mr. Wales's phone beeped and he picked it up.
It's exactly the way you thought sir they plant a mole in the Silver wales. The person on the other end declared.
Ok, thanks Mr. Wales replied then ended the call.
He turned to Henry Carter and smiled. It was exactly the way we thought it, Sophia schemed with "Bradley" the director of my company to deceive Jeff and take the position away from him. Mr. Wales said with a faint smile.
I knew she was up to something when she and James came here saying they had the solutions to the problem. Mr. Babs enunciates with a deep sigh.
Let's just act like we knew nothing and let me unravel the misery then I will decide their punishment Henry Carter proclaimed rubbing his forehead tiredly.
I just hope Jeff doesn't destroy himself with anger and he can come back to his senses on time Mr. Wales added before walking out of the office.
Mr. Babs also discussed some things with Henry before escorting him out of his office.
On getting to the last floor all the reporters surrounded him and bombarded him with questions.
"Is it true your second son is fixing the trouble your first son caused!?" and he is becoming the next chairman. One of the reporters questioned rudely.
Henry Carter did not answer any of them instead he walked through the crowds as his bodyguards paved the way for him.
"So the Carter family business is ending in the hands of a playboy!?" Another reporter inquired making him stop in his tracks.
He turned and looked at the reporter closely he glanced towards his I.D. and smiled faintly. It was a reporter from "Sun Ray's" the broadcasting company that has been attacking the Carters for years.
He turned back and entered his car as the driver zoomed off.
Getting to the mansion, he stepped out of the car and heaved a sigh of relief he walked straight towards his study and sat on his chair still rubbing his foreheads anxiously. Like he was expecting something important.
He opened his laptop and checked on a mail with the description "Anonymous" he checked the mail and saw nothing in his inbox he closed the laptop and carried it to his bedroom.
He dropped it on the bed and entered the bathroom he stripped himself naked and put on the shower letting it wet his body freely.
He emerged from the bathroom and changed into his nightwear he checked his inbox and finally saw a new message from "anonymous" he smiled happily and quickly checked it in a rush but the content sent shivers down his spine.
He gripped his chest in fear and suddenly all his voice disappeared he wanted to say something but he couldn't, he just froze in place.
He quickly pressed the emergency button and the security rushed in but it was too late as the shock gripped him more causing him to collapse on the floor with a loud thud.
"Call the doctor !!" the securities screamed as they rushed towards him.
*************
Sofia entered the pub with a smile catching a glimpse of Bradley a sarcastic smile tugged at her lips.
She walked towards him and placed her hands on his shoulders seductively. "Hope is not too late she declared with a smile.
I guessed you are too happy that you already forgot you kept someone waiting here. Bradley sneered with a faint smile.
You know I can't always be available am also a mother and woman of the Carters' Sophia enunciates while caressing his arbs romantically.
How will your son feel when he finds out you get yourself in my bed for him to be the Next chairman Bradley mocked?
He wouldn't know if you learn how to keep your dirty mouth shut Sophia hissed she grabbed the document in front of him examining it well she walked outside furiously.
She called her son and asked him to meet up in the chairman's house she already had the document containing the solutions Henry Carter asked for.
James smiled happily and rushed to the old man's house he waited anxiously for his mother and finally saw her car driving inside the mansion.
He rushed toward her and hugged her affectionately "Thanks so much Mom" I will always cherish you he said happily before planting a kiss on her forehead.
"It's nothing Dear!" This is just minimal, once you become the chairman we will even enjoy it more Sophia said happily ruffling her hands through his hair.
They walked inside and the security asked them to wait while he informed the chairman.
Henry was still in shock from the content he saw and Mr. Wales and the doctor were already by his side.
Mr. Wales checked the content and smiled. He told Henry about it and he also smiled back sickly.
C..ca..call Jeff for me he stammered weakly.
Mr. Wales nodded in understanding and asked the guards to inform Sophia that the chairman was still sleeping and they should wait for a while.
"Argh!!" Jeff shouted in anger, he slapped his hands on a bare glass table till blood started to gush out profusely.
Jeff, please take it easy Linda said rushing toward him with the first aid box in her hand. She grabbed his bloodied hand and cleaned it with some spirits before bandaging it carefully.
Even though he was feeling pain from his injured hand it wasn't as severe as the one he was feeling in his heart. He bites his lower lips slowly as hot tears stream from his eyes.
"I know your grandfather always cherishes you!" I just believed he his doing all this for a reason Linda persuaded while rubbing her arms on his shoulders.
Just then a call from Mr. Wales beeped on Jeff's phone Linda picked it up and greeted him respectfully.
Jeff needs to be in the Carter's mansion in the next 1 hour he commanded before ending the call.
Linda ended the call and looked at Jeff weirdly, "what is it" Jeff asked coldly.
You need to be in the Carter's mansion as early as possible. Sophia declared with a worried look.
Without sparing her another glance he left the house and drove straight to the Carter's mansion.
On getting to the mansion he rushed out of the car and went straight to the chairman's room without anyone stopping him.
He entered and met everyone on their knees including James and Sophia, James was already crying profusely. Only Mr. Wales was sitting beside the old man's bed.
He walked towards him and bowed slightly, "Grandfather you sent for me" He declared with respect.
The old spreads his hands forward and Jeff places his hand on his. The old man smiled faintly and placed the document Sophia and James had brought earlier in his hand. With a smile, he summoned the last courage in him and talked.
"You are now the new chairman of the Carter family and 80% of my properties are transferred in your name!" He said in pain as tears gushed out of his eyes he landed back on the bed and gave up as a ghost.
"Grandfather!!!" Jeff screamed as tears gushed out of his eyes. He looked at Mr. Wales who was also cleaning his tearful face.
"Noooo!! the company is mine!" James yelled rushing towards Jeff, he grabbed Jeff by the collar angrily and punched him in the face causing him to fall abruptly.
Jeff didn't say a thing instead he just lay on the floor aimlessly and let James destroy his face while laughing hysterically.
