? Damn, that's not good. Our family is only second to the Reeds', and no one knows what their network is worth. Still, with everyone in the family being a billionaire, some have guessed that the family's combined net worth is in the trillions of dollars, making them the wealthiest and most powerful family in town. Looking back at Erick, " Keep an eye on things," I told him there was no reason to show fear. At best, I would lose the land to the Reed instead of the Shaw. Before he leaves the office, " Uhm, Sir, there's one more thing." Looking nervous all of a sudden. What other bad news does he have for me? " What else?" He looked behind him like he expected someone to burst through the door before saying, " Jasper's girlfriend is here to see you." "Tell her im not here," I say with no care for the woman. Why is the purpose of this visit? She has been trying to see me since I told Jasper that the wedding will remain. I'm guessing she's trying to see if she could get me to change my mind about things. That's not going to happen, not here and not ever, at least not until I get my plan underway. At some point, the woman has to take the hint that I don't care about what she or my nephew does. Getting on my feet, I told Erick, " Get me the location for Soraya. Don't let that woman in the building again. " It's one thing to harass me at my own home, but to come where I work is another. From what I gather, Soraya had kicked them out of the house she gifted to Jasper's mother, taking the wheelchair and cane that she bought for his mother, leaving them with nothing. They had to return to the family house in shame. I was thrilled that she had kicked them out and frozen their accounts. My nephew and his mother had been freeloading on her for years while they protected their own money. Now it's time for them to experience what it's like when you spend your money and not someone else's. The fierce girl I felt for is still there, and I couldn't be happier to hear that. " Sir, this is Ms Soraya's location," Erick handed me a piece of paper. "I'll take the back exit," I told him before fixing my coat. I saw him heading towards that door. "Don't worry; I'll drive myself, you get back to work," I ordered him. I found her in a cafe near her house, walking towards her table. I stood there until she noticed me. " Let's go talk somewhere private." I turned on my heels and walked out without waiting for an answer, but I knew she would follow. It only took a ten-minute walk to her house. Once we were in, I saw boxes stacked on top of boxes at the entrance. "Are you moving?" I asked her. She looks at the boxes and says, "I'm sorry to dirty your eyes. Try to ignore those. They are trash, my so-called best friend left behind, and I'm helping her throw them out." As we reached the living room,
