Chapter 199 “She…” “Quiet!” Two men shouted on Broderick, they were the one sitting close to Lord Douglas, one of them spoke harshly, “how dare you interrupt our master?” “Did you not learn to let elders finish talking before you interrupt?” The second man asked angrily “I’m sorry.” Broderick apologized. He had wanted to explain before but with the way the Clan elders rebuked him, he dared not to say a word again. “Can I go ahead now or should I shut my mouth?” Lord Douglas asked. “Please go ahead, my Lord” Broderick said with a slight bow of his head.
“Nell, can you stand, please?” Lord Douglas gestured to Nell where she sat. She was amidst those sitting at the backend of the hall by a corner so Broderick didn’t even catch a glimpse of her when he walked in. Nell stood with an angry and malicious face, she began to cry and said,” my own godson made me homeless. I was good to him when he was young but he treated me like trash now just because he feels too powerful. He got intoxicated with power and made me become a subject of ridicule in the city despite by old age,” she cried even more. “Whatever explanation you have behind treating an old woman this way is not valid. If she was your mother, would you have treated her the way you did? Just because you know Nell is barren and she has no child to defend her, you treated her this way,” Lord Douglas said and looked at Broderick as if he was looking at a very wicked somebody. Lord Douglas then gestured for Nell to sit, then he began, “Broderick Alessandro, your punishment as decided by me and other clan elders is this, you will step down from the position of the most powerful man in North Hill and let him have it.” Lord Douglas gestured to someone who just walked in and Broderick trailed his hand only to see a strange tall man. Broderick had no idea whom he is, he then turned to Lord Douglas and said, “If it pleases the elders of the Clan to let him have the position. He can.”
“Good of you. Hand over the company you are currently building in the name of the Alessandro’s family to him immediately,” Lord Douglas declared. “What!” Broderick exclaimed and quickly cautioned himself. The most powerful man in NorthHill of course has to be the richest and one who has the biggest company. “I will.” “Now,” Lord Douglas demanded. All eyes drifting back and forth between Lord Douglas and Broderick – … Broderick placed a call across to Brett and commanded,” bring all the documents of ownership of my ongoing structure to B Hotel’s VVIP Hall now then bring a transfer of ownership documents too.” Brett was shocked to the gutt, “Sir!” SURTOUT “Do as I’ve said. You have five minutes to arrive here,” Broderick said and hung the call up. | Douglas then gestured for him to sit after which he sat calmly. Lord Douglas moved on to other matters and seven minutes later, Brett walked inside with the documents and Broderick gestured for him to come closer. Once Broderick collected the documents from Brett, he stood and went to hand it over to Lord Douglas with a slight bow of his head. Come over here, son and put your name and signature so you can have all the rights as the new CEO,” Lord Douglas said and the strange man stood from his seat and walked towards Lord Douglas. Once Brett saw him, he recognized him and said to Broderick,” this is Michael, your brother. The one that ran away with …” “Mr. Brett, what are you saying?” Michael interrupted and quickly signalled a death threat to him with his hand before Broderick could turn to look Michael. Broderick had no idea whom Michael was, he lost his memory and the only thing he knew in his past was what Martha told him. Brett kept quiet, he dared not to say a word again. What can he do? He was just a nobody in the midst of the most powerful family in North Hill. He almost forgot Broderick lost his memory. Broderick couldn’t make a meaning of what Brett said. When Michael got before Lord Douglas, he bowed up to 90 degree and said,” it’s an honour for me to be bestowed with this. I promise not to misuse this power and take the family to a greater level.“ “We will be trusting you,” Lord Douglas said and then Michael put his signature. Once he dropped the pen, everyone cheered him up with a congratulatory
clap. Broderick walked back to his seat and told Brett to wait for him outside. Once Brett got outside, he was scared of how things will turn out now that Michael would be the new most powerful man in North Hill. Brett immediately placed a call across to Amy but Amy didn’t answer cause his number was displayed as an unknown number in Amy’s phone. He immediately sent a message to her saying, “Hey, this is Brett, Mr. Broderick’s personal assistant. We need to talk and it’s urgent.” A few seconds after Brett’s message sent, Amy’s call came through to his phone and he answered it,” Mr. Brett, where are you?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
