“I don’t know what you are thinking but she is not going to be safe from the public”
“It would not be long before they get her personal information and have it displayed online”
“Some might go to the extend of attacking her and hurting her”
“I am no celebrity! Prepare for lawsuits as many as possible, if anyone tries to hurt her, I will have them regretting it”
Alex smile and nod his head knowing his mind is made up and there is nothing that would change it.
Kyler stand up and pick his phone ready to leave for Yasmin’s place, at this time he should be by her side
“I will have security go with you, just in case” Alex added and he shrugged then walk out.

More and more questions shoot at Kyler in the large conference room and he look on listening to their complains
“Since you don’t seem to have an answer for us, we would like to initiate a vote to remove you from the position then, as it seem to us you can’t solve this problem”
“Removing the current President is the only way to save the company from more losses”

The door of the conference room open and Thompson Bays enter already prepared with his lawyer behind him
Kyler furrow his brows definitely not help to see him here and watch him take a seat
“Why are you here?”
“My lawyer will answer that” he answered with an air of pride that cause Kyler to chuckle angrily
The lawyer bring out few papers from his bag and push them gently to everyone on the table
“This shows that Mr. Thompson Bays is a biological son of Chairman Black”
Kyler take the paper and sigh in order to keep his anger in check
“How do we believe this is real? Chairman Black is dead, there is no way you could get a D. N. A test without him”
“That’s because Chairman Black is alive, this video is a proof of it”
Kyler’s frown deepened as the screen light up and see the video of his Dad on screen
He turn angrily to Thompson and yell at him to turn it off
He did but everyone has already gotten a good look and start to talk among each other looking really shock to see he’s alive
“Did you really lie to us about the Chairman’s death?”
“You kept him all these years just so you could own the company!”
Kyler try not to lose his temper at their words but he could not help the irritation
“How did you get that video?” He asked him ignoring everyone else
“That doesn’t matter, what matter is that I have right to receive the same amount of inheritance as you”
“That’s bullshit” he told him.

In the long argument, Thompson try to acquire twenty five percent of his shares and when the vote was conducted, Kyler manage to win by three percent higher
It seems like there are still few who don’t believe in him, all he need to do is to make them lose more trust in Kyler and soon he will have Black corporation.
The board decide to adjourn the meeting again and find out more about Chairman Black being alive or not before knowing what to do

Kyler got back to his office feeling extremely furious, he did not expect Thompson Bays to have such evidence with him
He has keep him away in such secretive place where no one except him and the people taking care of him could enter
“How on earth did Bays find him then?”
He wondered pacing up and down his office while Alex watch without saying a word and wait for him to calm down
“Has the fallen percent increase?”
“Ten percent” he answered and Kyler sighs angrily again
“Should we still wait or fire back now?” Alex asked getting worried
“We might be the one losing the most at the end”
“No we won’t”
“He wants my company, I will take his instead” he promise.
