Revenge of the Rejected

Chapter 140

Charles was ushered into an office to wait as the bank manager was on his way to him. While waiting as he sat on the comfy sofa, it occurred to him that he had mistakenly blurted out the truth behind his source of wealth to James, but thankfully, James didn’t notice he had said something weird. He was also carried away by the joyful news Charles shared. Charles breathed out an air of relied through his mouth, and then leaned against the sofa. He checked his watch, and he wasn’t comfortable with time ticking, and all he was doing presently was waiting for the bank manager. James was meant to have traveled to France so as to meet with Mr. Lincoln, but they had arranged another person who looked very similar to the appearance which James disguised in during his video call with Mr. Lincoln. This was the moment Charles needed James the most as things were beginning to work out just the way he had always wanted for son long when he began his revenge on those who treated him wrong. “Good day, Mr. Lincoln.” The bank manager greeted him as he walked in. “Good day.” Charles responded back as he sat up, eager to start things off. “It’s a pleasure to meet you in person. What can we do for you?” “Well, it’s simple. And I’ll get straight to the point. There’s a particular company which the bank seized from Mr. Lincoln. I’ll like to buy it.” Charles made known his desire. “Alright then. It’s actually worth two million dollars.” The bank manager informed Charles, and Charles nodded. He was ready to buy it. He went through the process to make the company his. After his business in the bank, he walked out of the bank, and got into his car. YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED A TASK AND HAVE GAINED 5 POINTS. Charles smiled, feeling proud of himself to have achieved this, then he put a call through to James. “Yes boss.” James spoke as he answered the call. “I need you to work on those documents which are for companies owned by my mother. Work on it like you’re working on saving your life. I want things to go smoothly. We have taken so many falls lately, so it’s time for us to soar.” “You can count on me, boss.” James assured.“Good. I have already acquired the company as well.” “Yes! This is good news!” James voiced out happily. “I know right?” “Yes, boss. But then, it would be advisable for you to take charge immediately and become the CEO before your father finds out what has been going on behind his back.” “Yeah, sure. You’re right. I’ll work on that. Just focus on what I have asked you to do.” “You have me on that, boss.” Charles hung up with a wide smile on his face, and then he put a call through to Vera as well. “Hello.” “Meet me at the Lincoln’s steel company.” Charles instructed her, and she got ready to leave where she was. Although vera was still a bit lost in all that had been going on, but she was still okay with it as long as everything was working fine. She knew Charles would call her once he needed her to play her role. As soon as Charles got to the Lincoln’s steel company, he met Vera who was waiting outside the company. He wasn’t all that surprised that she had gotten there before him, because he knew how diligent she was when it came to work. Also, they had a bit of a traffic congestion when they were on their way to the Lincoln’s steel company. “So, as I have acquired this company, James advised me to take charge as soon as possible. I need to let them know that I am their new CEO, and a lot of policies will change as I am well aware that my father would have only implemented policies that were obviously for a selfish man.” “You’re right. I’m a hundred percent in support.” Vera spoke, and Charles nodded his head in satisfaction, then handed over the proof ownership documents to her. Charles and Vera both walked in, and they gathered the executives for a meeting where they showed them the proof of transfer ownership from the bank. The executives were shocked, but they maintained their composure, and could not retaliate as they were well aware that Charles was a man whom was not to be messed with. “So, if there is anyone who wants to leave as he or she will not be comfortable under my reign, you are free to leave.” Charles announced. They all looked at each other’s faces, and no one was ready to move an inch. It was understandable. No one wanted to leave a company which was doing well, and had filled their pockets with a lot of money. What they didn’t know was that Charles was going to thoroughly ensure that no corruption was birthed to in that company again. After making himself known to both employees and executives, he left the company, and then disguised himself back as Mr. Andrews. “I’ll be back, soon.” He said to Vera as he got down from the car, and then walked swiftly to the Lincoln’s house. He knew that they would have gotten back home since the dinner party and they would have been wondering why he had not resumed work. He put on his phone as he was certain that they would have almost blown up his phone with calls if he didn’t switch it off. As soon as he got to the front porch, he rang the doorbell, and the door was opened by the maid. Unexpectedly, the whole family except Mr. Lincoln were gathered in the sitting room in different sitting positions, and their expression didn’t look too good. “And where have you been, Andrews?” Sandra asked, looking like she could tear his neck apart if she stood up.
