My Retribution

Part 36

Freen's POV

Becky is not attending school yet. I always messaged her and asked her if I would fetch her to school, still no response. I always drive to their mansion even if I'm not sure if she comes. I just want to be with her when she finally decides to go back. I wait for a few minutes or go there early. I miss Becky so much. I didn't know that missing someone can take away your happiness, or your will to start the day. I have no appetite so eating became a hard task for me, but I have to. It's the rule.

Class is over and I'm at home. I did research about the Armstrong business and their defense. They hired great detectives to catch the culprit which is me but they will never find one. We made sure to clean everything if we do something like that, so I'm confident they will never find any kind of evidence. We found out that Mr. Armstrong have been paying a visit to Richie's victims and paying them a good amount of money to shut them up if they refused threatening them was the second option. They released a press conference and they are asking for peoples support and prayers, Showing the perfect family, that they are stronger than their problems. "Urggh.. I hate this." Mr. Armstrong is very smart, he uses his situation as an opportunity to publices their companies product.

In terms of business they are looking for an ally, partnership with strong companies, so our company received their proposals. They make their moves fast but even if that's the case. I'll make sure I'll destroy everything they have.

I conducted a meeting today. Lax, Liza and Kirk are here. It's time to make a move.

Freen: Thank you for coming in such short notice. As you can see Armstrong is the issue that everyone is talking about. I hate that they are getting attention for something they don't deserve. Sympathy, prayers, or support is not supposed to be the reaction they're getting from the people. I would very much like to correct this.

Lax: Aren't we late for that, Lady Boss?

Freen: No. Just waiting for the right timing. I just waited for them to be the number 1 trending topic so that the humiliation is unbearable and their fall is visible. (smiling victoriously) Anyway, I have something to do for you. Lax, please accompany Risa to the police station and asked her to file a case on Richie. We will hire the best attorney in town. Prepare her also for press conference. We will contact Kate's parents to use their network.

Lax: Copy, Lady Boss.

Freen: Liza, I want you to hire someone with you and talk to the victims. Mr. Armstrong gave them a good amount of money and most of them did not accept it so they are pretty much afraid now. Let's offer them something that they can't resist. Protection and Justice. You don't have to convince all of them but make sure to convince most of them. Start with the people who filed cases against Richie.

Liza smile and nod at me.

Freen: Kirk, I want you to come with me. We will have a business meeting with the Armstrong regarding their proposal for partnership.

Kirk: (confused) Are you gonna show yourself to them? 

Freen: Yes, I am.

Kirk: Won't Mr. Armstrong recognize you or something?

Freen: (thinking) We saw each other when he arrived at the hospital but it seems like he didn't recognize me, or maybe he's so upset and worried that he didn't notice me. One way to make sure, meet him.

Lax: (confused) Are you meeting with them just to make sure if he recognizes you? Don't tell me we're considering partnership with them. If you plan to ruin their name partnership is not a smart thing to do.

Kirk: I agree with Lax, partner. They will drag our company's name with them.  This is bad for business, bad for our image.

Freen: (cold voice) I know that but that's the risk I'm willing to take. I have a plan, Don't worry. I won't let our company get ruined just like that. You'll see.
