“You shouldn’t sweat it son, I’ve had her arrested. But please, don’t inform Richard about this. He would get worried and leave the summit midway. Let’s manage this until he comes back” Anna Lester instructed.
Adrian nodded and stepped out. Glad that his mother has taken a drastic step by having that scumbag arrested. That tramp from the gutters dare to attempt to murder his grandfather, she wouldn’t live another minute if his grandfather loses his life.
The news of what happened got to the ears of Patrick Connor. He doubted it. That’s impossible. Ava Leon is a fragile woman that couldn’t even step on an ant.
How can she conceive the idea of hurting grandfather Lester? If he is correct, grandfather is the only one in that family that truly loves her. Something is wrong somewhere.
He got down to the Lester world of technology and didn’t meet the CEO Adrian Lester. He called and the latter said he had returned home to take a shower.
That way, Patrick Connor drove to the Lester mansion and walked in just in time as Adrian was dishing out orders and instructions with a tone of brutality.
“… if anyone dares to meddle in matters that don’t concern them or are not invited to give an opinion, I’ll make you taste your bloody ass…”
Patrick Connor sighed softly. He glanced around and Ava was not in sight. Adrian’s words are usually too hard. What’s the big deal by simply telling the employees in the mansion to maintain a sealed lips?
Why is he threatening them and enforcing silence on them? And the most pathetic aspect of it is that, if any of them goes contrary to his instructions, he’d deal with them, no matter how old such a person is.
“Where’s grandfather now?” Patrick asked as soon as Adrian dismissed the employees. He should be in the hospital, he guess but to act formally, he’d asked.
“Where else could he be if not in the hospital?” He responded and lit a cigarette. He took a inhale of the smoke and puffed it out before continuing “That bitch had made my grandfather laid on that hospital bed. She’ll pay for it and her parents will lay in a worse bed than that!” He declared with a wicked grin on his face
“No please Adrian. Don’t bring her parents into this. They have nothing to do with what Ava had done. And besides, where is Ava, I need to ask her a few questions?” Patrick cautioned.
“I swear on my life that her parents will experience worse things. They will lose their lives for what their daughter has done. They have failed in their parenting, that’s why they raised a murderer with an innocent disguise for a daughter…” Adrian thundered.
“Come off it , Adrian. Please, in a fit of fury, don’t do things you would later regret. Keep Mr Sam Leon and his wife out of this. And I don’t believe that Ava can do what you now accuse her of. I want to see her first” Patrick Connor pleaded.
“There’s nothing to regret about here. We’re supposed to be divorced today, she murdered grandfather to stall for time and I’ll see that she never lives to see the dawn of the next day if anything happens to grandfather.
And don’t ask me about that woman again, Patrick. Don’t let me get crossed with you on that. If you want to see her, go to the police department and request to see her.
And don’t conceive the idea of trying to make me change my mind. I have gotten to a point of return on Ava Leon’s case. I will ruin her beyond repairs and have her body chopped and delivered to her parent’s doorstep” Adrian seethed.
Patrick Connor was alarmed. He glared at Adrian speechless. He sent his own wife to the police department? Such accumulated hatred for his wife?
“You had Ava arrested? She’s your wife, Adrian” Patrick Connor reminded him.
“What about grandfather? Isn’t he my blood? Isn’t he the one who gave birth to my Father Richard and I was also born by my father Richard? Isn’t he my blood and flesh?
Should I sit back and watch him die without justice from the one who murdered him or tried to have him murdered. If none of us were home to rescue grandfather he would have long been dead now.
And even now, we don’t know his fate. He’s in a delicate situation and none of us can tell if he would survive or succumb to death. And you are here, sprouting nonsense and telling me that Ava Leon is my wife.
I don’t have a wife yet. I am a single man, the richest bachelor in New Jersey. Get this fact into your skull, Patrick Connor!” Adrian thundered.
The next time Patrick Connor ever tries to take sides with Ava Leon, he’ll end his relationship of over two decades with him and warn him never to come before his face again. Adrian thought.
“All I am asking is, did you listen to Ava, what happened, what led her to that…” Patrick Connor was saying when Adrian interrupted him sharply.
“Enough of bringing up Ava’s name to my hearing. I’m afraid our friendship is at the verge of collapse because I didn’t find you useful and sensible enough to be by my side as an acquaintance!” Adrian Lester arrogantly declared.
“Me, not useful and sensible?” Patrick demanded.
“You’re worse than being senseless. You’re gullible and an idiot” Adrian repeated.
