Chapter 73 Why Does He Sound Like ‘Him’
Amy took few steps further as if scared. Actually, she can’t even read her own emotions at this moment but she was sure she didn’t want to stay close to him.
Amy turned to Broderick and began to walk back towards him,” I seem not to understand what your brother is saying?” “What did he say?” Broderick asked her with a frown.
“You can’t discuss our conversation with a third party. Remember we both have secretes, you won’t like it it be exposed here,”
Michael said.
“Are you threatening me, Mr. Michael?” Amy asked with anger.
“I am not, I just don’t want you to tell him our conversation. It should remain between us,” Amy interrupted.
“Were you the one that burned down the family’s company?” Broderick asked calmly. “I did.” He responded.
“You fucking bastard! You burn down the family’s legacy? Our fore fathers struggled hard with their sweats to build the biggest
building in the continent and you heartlessly burnt it down. Have you gone out of your mind?” Broderick yelled angrily at him.
“Shut the fuck up, Broderick!” Michael said sternly. The gentlemanliness on his face vanished at once, his face was now stern and harsh that even Amy was surprised at his change in character. Was he a wolf in sheep clothing? Otherwise, how could he burn down a company worth billions of dollars?
Michael took a step further to him and said with rage,” you! It has always been you. Everything is always about you. You got the favor of the family, you became the only heir of the family’s company while I’m giving some measly lands and money as inheritance.”
“You burnt down the company cause you are jealous of me, huh?” Broderick asked.
*Fuck jealousy! If I was jealous of you, I’ll take over the company from you and not burn it down.” Michael was burning hard in
anger.
“Mr. Michael, how could you be so cruel to do this? Did you know that we have over 700 staffs in the company? Now they will all
be unemployed cause of your irrational act,” Brett said. He was angry at Michael, that was because he didn’t really know who
Michael was.
*It’s a family matter, stay away Brett,” Broderick said to him and Brett quickly left the scene. Broderick did that to protect Brett so
he and his family will not be a victim of Michael’s anger.
Michael ignored Brett like he was so insignificant, indeed, the gap between Brett’s family and the Alessandro’s family was too
large. Who was Brett to even interfer in the Alessandro’s business?

” burnt down the building to break you! Your surname and being the heir of the Alessandro’s wealth will not be able to sustain your position as the most powerful man in North Hill in the long run,” Michael said with a very wicked smirk. When he turned to Amy, his smirk dissapeared into a smile but Amy find the smile to be disgusting. No matter how good Michael had projected himself to be, burning an entire building that took many generations to build already ruined his reputation before her
“Ouuu ouuuu. I’m crying… I’ll soon become a commoner in North Hill,” Broderick placed his hand on his eyes as if crying.
Everyone knows that he was been sarcastic,
broderick removed his hand all of a sudden and smirked, “Good one…hahaha..good one brother,” Broderick patted Michael’s
shoulder and then said to Amy,” Miss. Cleo, we need to leave.”
*Sure” Athy said
Miss CEO, you seem to forget your position as my personal assistant, how can you walk away from me?” Michael suddenly asked.
Amy was never Michael’s personal assistant, he just referred to her like that in public to protect her,
I came here with Mr. Broderick, it’s reasonable that I leave with him. Plus I can’t stay another moment to have a conversation
with you, bye Mr Michael * Amy said and then walked away with Broderick
Martha sat in the Owen’s family mansion alongside Edith and Owen. Nell was also seated here.
have investigated with all my power to find who could be behind the video but I didn’t find anyone,” the mayor said and sighed
in frustration
Edith was released from prison after she removed her face mask and took on a new identity.” The Mayor paid a huge sum of
money to higher authorities to get her out. The bribery could only work because Martha can walk freely in town without anyone identifying that she’s Theresa. But she knew she dare not to put on Theresa’s mask anymore.
“That was a narrow escape! How would I have lived if it was my real face that was associated to the crime. I would have lived my life in prison,” Martha lamented,” mother, second mother… this is too risky, I don’t know if I can continue with this.” “Idiot, how can you give up so easily? Didn’t you love Broderick?” Nell asked.
“I love him but I’m scared. Things are not working out as planned. It’s like Amy’s spirit is around to hunt us..” Martha said. “You are the one who is not smart enough. Weren’t you supposed to close the door of the kitchen before you poisoned the food?” Nell rebuked her. “Mother, how did you feel about the destruction of the Alessandro’s company?” Edith asked Nell.
“Indifferent, sincerely. I know it’s going to plummet our family down into a second class or third class citizen of North Hill but I really don’t care. It’s Broderick who is enjoying all the benefits from the company that our fore father’s laboured to build,” Nell
said.
“Well, now that someone else will soon evolve as the most powerful man in North Hill, I don’t think there is any reason to let Edith
marry Broderick anymore,” the mayor said. “True. Broderick is useless now,” Nell said and added, “Let’s wait for who will soon become the most powerful man in North Hill so we can ship Martha to him. If Martha can get married to him, it will help my family and yours stay in the first class seat of the society.” “Fine, fingers crossed,” Edith said. A few seconds later, “Mum!” Theresa suddenly called, drawing everyone’s attention to her,” see this!” she showed Edith a top blog post on her phone and she read it.
“What!” Edith exclaimed.
“What is it?” the mayor asked curiosly.
“Someone else has announced himself as the most powerful man in North Hill,” Edith broke the news.
“What!” Nell exclaimed and stood from her seat, she snatched the phone from Edith and read for herself. The person however had an ugly face that was full of scar.
“Was this person joking with the citizens of North Hill… His declaration of asset is too extraordinary,” Nell said..
The mayor stood and requested, “mother, please let me see.”
Nell handed over the phone to him and he read it, “Mother, I will be the one to confirm the authenticity of the man’s asset according to our culture. I will immediately summon a council meeting and give you feedback.” “Okay, do that immediately,” Nell said and the mayor walked out hurriedly.
Edith stood and said,” how can someone be so rich? I don’t think someone as rich as that can be born in North Hill.”
“Let the mayor find out,” Nell said,
Once someone else is confirmed as the most powerful man in North Hill by the mayor and the city councils, such person’s family
well rose alongside to become the most powerful and the Alessandro’s family’s networth and stance will drop vehemently.
“Mother, we don’t know how ruthless this man will be yet, I’m already thinking if he will accept Martha,” Edith let out her worries.
What! Mum, are you even thinking of shipping me to that ugly man?” Edith asked angrily. These people don’t even care about what she wants of what she doesn’t, they just think they can marry her off to anyone as long as it benefits them.
“Be quiet!” Neli said,” let’s get a feedback from the mayor first
Edith and Nell then sat back
Eoin offered Nell food but she refused. She want to know if this news of the person who just announced himself as the most
powerful man in NorthHill is authentic.
