I won't let you end me
Chapter 71
I won't let you end me
The first thing I did was grab my phone the moment the legal team left. I called Britney's trusted informant,the one who brought me news about Percy because he seemed to be the most trusted amongst the private investigators right now.
'I need you to find out how often Crest Oils does their internal audits. Find out everything about it, who brought the idea. I have a bulk of evidence here against me over something I didn't do. Find out who told those lies against me and who the hell Osman Pammie is. I didn't make any transfer to him but they have evidence that I did." I ordered.
'Copy,give me a few hours to do that," he said and ended the call. I threw the phone on the table with a thud, trying to contain my shaky hands. I have to find a solution to this or I'll be in trouble. How would I be able to return the payment made to me? Even if I were to sell all my belongings in and outside the state, it won't be enough to cover everything up, not to talk about the fact that it can't even be possible.
My phone buzzed and I ran to it like a mad man. I picked it up and put it to my ears.
'Crest Oils isn't scheduled for internal auditing until later in the year , however, one Percy King had pushed for it, particularly on your own. Not only that, he's been going around with most of the other companies who supplied you the materials you used. I have a feeling he'll be using them against you if Crest Oils decides to take this to the court. And about Osman Pammie, he used to be a contract worker at Crest Oils but he's been laid off, surprisingly,I couldn't find any information on him. It's as if he vanished off the surface of the earth." He said,
Fuck!
'Anything else I need to know?" I asked?
'This Percy has his hands on all the documents on your previous deal which I'm sure you know wasn't really a clean one. It's going to be difficult to get out of this with the amount of evidence she has. The only way left is to be ready to pay Crest Oils back, else, you'll___"
I ended the call in anger, preventing him from finishing his statement. If I had the money to repay them, I wouldn't be this frustrated. And Percy, when did he get so powerful to even meet those companies?
My goodness, he's been planning his return for a long time and has been getting ready for this very moment. He couldn't have done this alone without the help of Myra. They are doing this to cripple me, and seize the perfect opportunity to get back RoyBen Hotels and suites they knew would be difficult to pay back Crest Oils, meaning I might face court charges. If that happens, I might lose everything.
I can't let that happen, I've come a long way than to let that happen to me.

AN HOUR LATER
'Percy!" I shouted as I got into his penthouse. I couldn't just sit back and do nothing after the information I got that he had a hand in my current predicament. I was about to get to the door, when it opened from the inside and he came out, looking calm as the ocean.
'Why are you hell bent on destroying me, Percy?" I asked with irritation as I saw him. My brow furrowed together in anger
To end you," he said bluntly, dipping his hands in his pocket. 'I want you to have a taste of what betrayal is. You were a total dickhead Royce,I trusted you. All I wanted was for you to invest in me and you know damn well that I'll be open in whatever profits I make. But what did you do, you set me up for your bad deeds and had me thrown in the dungeon." He said, balling his hands up.
'Bollocks! Is that why you colluded with Myra and even helped her get close to me?"
'You can do what you did but I can't do that? You became unfortunate the moment Bella ran into the road and I managed to save her. All those years, I waited patiently for this day. This Crest Oils deal is going to paralyse you because you know you can't refund them."
'Of course, I can. Your games are nothing!" I lied without thinking.
'You know very well that they aren't nothing. Your drug business has been on hold for a while now because you can't get a hold of Jayden. Bad news for you now because Jayden now belongs to me and Myra." He said.
'That's not possible!" I said in horror. How did they manage to find him and buy him out? I thought.
'Wanna find out if I can't?" Percy asked and brought out his phone. He punched a few numbers in it and put it on loud speaker.
'Boss," came the thick voice of none other than Jayden.
'Jayden,Royce is here and wants to say hi," he said smirking.
'You bastard! Where have you been and where are my goodies? You went away with my money and now you've sided with my enemies?" I screamed, my heart pounding against my ribs.
'I don't care whether they are your enemies or not. I'm not emotionally attached to you plus,you know I only deal with money. Currently, you don't have it ,so I bet we no longer have a deal." He said and Percy ended the call.
'This is the end, Royce. I'm going to make sure all of your investors pull out. You'll be left with nothing, just like I was years back. I'll make sure you pay for what you did to me in manifolds and when I'm through with you, you'll have nowhere to run,"
'No, I won't let you take anything from me. I'll find a solution to this and when I do, you'll wish you never crossed my path." I threatened back.
'I'm not taking anything that belonged to you, just mine and oh? I have a surprise for you," he said nudging towards the entrance. I took a turn and looked towards the entrance only to see a bunch of journalists running towards us.
'What!?" I said, trying to rush to my car but before I could, they had gotten to me, shoving their faces close to mine with flashes here and there.
‘Is it true that you are currently being investigated for fraud?'
‘Did you really use substandard products, knowing the dangers they pose?'
‘Is it true that your investors are gradually pulling out and that you might lose your company?'
'Just shut the fuck up and get out of my face!" I screamed at them. They all jerked backwards, totally surprised by my burst of emotions.
I pushed a couple of them away and managed to find my way to my car. As I ignited my car, I saw Percy talking to them and smiling triumphantly.
