Arizona knocked on Williams office door. There was no response but she knocked continuously.
"Come in." She heard Williams voice.
She sighed and she opened the door. They both entered his office. Williams was surprised to see them.
She had a serious face and they walked closer to him. She walked like she was ready to go to battle. She smirked and she sat on the office chair opposite him.
"I didn't ask you to sit." Williams glared at her.
"I have places to be. I won't beat around the bush. Tell me the truth honestly." She adjusted herself and she slowly placed her hand on the table and she gave a serious face.
"Tell you what?" He eyed her and he looked confused.
"When I came to meet you about the secret fund the other day, you didn't tell me the complete truth, right? Don't lie to me!" She glared dangerously at him.
"What are you talking about?" He looked nervous and he was kind of sweating.
"You have to tell me the truth Williams. Don't forget not only Darien as all the illegal activities you have done, I have more than enough to remove you from your position." She threatened him and she had a serious face.
Williams was already feeling nervous. He started sweating and he was feeling suffocated.
"You are right but not fully right." He came clean with a calm voice.
"Tell me the complete truth." She glared at him brutally.
"We used to be best friends and we cherished each other. He knew business more than me and my father had it in heart to make him the chairman but he had to pass it to me. He didn't want him to leave him empty handed, he gave him that secret fund when he retired from his position. We drafted and all I know is that he gave his daughter."
"You are correct but I know you made sure she never got it directly. It all makes sense now. You were never able to get your hand on it, so you made sure you presented it like a gift. The secret fund could not remove you from your position, so you cared less but you made sure she never got to know or hear about it. You probably did that, so it won't affect your business in the future." Arizona laughed and she smirked at him.
"What are you going to do now?" Williams gulped and he was becoming more nervous.
"We live with bunch of fools. I know where the fund is. Even you don't know exactly where it is. All of you are not as clever as me. I just traced the dots." Arizona smirked and she chuckled.
"Arizona?" Williams was so confused.
"Good day." She glared at him and she stood from the chair and she left the office without uttering anything again. Rocky followed her out and he was more than confused.

"I can't believe I made mistake about the name of the orphanage home. It was actually family not humility." Ivy tapper her head and she sighed.
"It's okay." Darien smile at her. " At least we are here."
He parked his car at the parking lot. They undid their seat belt and they left the car.
They stood in front of it and it was a small building. It had been existing for years. They had gone to the other one but that wasn't it.
"Let's go." He held her hand and they went inside.
The saw a receptionist and she looked frustrated and annoyed. She was frowning and when she saw them, she frowned even more.
"Hello good morning." Ivy sounded cheerful and she had a smile.
"Good morning." She still had a frown.
The girl seemed new to Ivy. She had no memory of seeing her when she was younger.
"Can I speak to your manager?" Ivy still had the same smile.
"Do you want to adopt any child?" She glared at them and she was so annoying.
"No we ju..."
"Then what are you looking for here?!" She frowned her face even more and she shouted loudly.
"Can I just see your manager?" Ivy controlled her temper and she gave a sarcastic smile.
"I am the manager." A woman came and she had a beautiful smile.
She looked like she was in her fifty. Ivy immediately recognized her. She couldn't believe she was still working here after so many years.
"Mrs Veronica!" Ivy screamed and she was so happy.
"Sorry, do I know you?" She looked confused and she still had a smile.
"It's me Ivy Mackenzie. I left here when I was ten years. That's fourteen years ago." Ivy had a bright smile.
"I'm sorry but I don't really remember you." Veronica squeezed her face and she was trying hard to remember her.
"Let's forget that. Do you remember a girl was given gifts almost every year. It was unusual but the person probably paid you guys lots of money." Ivy was trying so hard.
"Oh! Yes I remember." The woman smiled and she was so surprised. "Wow, you are so big now."
"Yes. Please I need those stuff. I know that I didn't take them but I know it is kept safely with you guys."
Veronica seemed shocked and kind of nervous and she stared at the receptionist awkwardly.
"We don't know anything about it. It's been so long." She faked a smile.
"I know that you are lying!" Darien shouted loudly. "Those stuff belongs to her and you could be shut down for theft and it is also illegal."
The woman trembled in fear and it seemed like she got scared at Darien threat.
"I didn't want to say this but, somebody recently paid us half a million dollars if we gave it. The person was anonymous and we gave it to the person through a car and we received our money."
"What?!" Ivy screamed in shock. "How can you sell what does not belong to you?"
"We are so sorry, it had been here for too long and nobody claimed it for so many years." She was so scared
