Chapter 666: A Good Plan Or Not
Daryl handled everything perfectly. He fired the ones responsible for preparing his father's meals and the policemen dragged them away for questioning. All their mobile phones were confiscated too for the investigation.
One of the helpers approached Daryl and handed him a file. He was an undercover agent from a private company whom Daryl had hired to keep track of all undergoing.
"Sir… Here are all the files from the bugs and hidden cameras I had installed. I have separated all the files already that could help in the investigation," the man said with a smile.
"Vin, thank you for this. You did a great job," Daryl praised the man, because of him Daryl had managed to gather everything he needed to prove how guilty Karen was.
"Thank you. I'm just a call away if you need more help," the man Vin said before he bid farewell to Kenzie and Daryl.
"He is hot. How come Karen did not become suspicious of having such a hot helper in her house. Or maybe Vin used his charm to wrap up everything so easily?" Kenzie commented as her gaze followed the back of the secret agent.
"Your eyes…" she heard Daryl scoff so she quickly hugged his arm and leaned her face on it as she said, "But my husband is the hottest man alive in my eyes."
"Speaking of… I wanna experience how hot you are in our new room later," Kenzie commented naughtily. Daryl shook his head with a chuckle but his face and ears were turning red.
"Go to work now. I need to stay here a bit longer to fix a lot of things," Daryl whispered as he pulled her to give her a gentle kiss on her forehead and he whispered, "I love you. See you later."
It was Kenzie's turn to blush and she gave him a quick peck on his lips and said, "I love you too darling. I will go ahead now."
Marcus was near them and heard the exchange of sweet love words between the couple. He could not help but feel the pain in his heart. He had destroyed his family by following his own selfish desire. His marriage to Daryl's mother was an arranged marriage between the families.
Their family business was on the verge of going bankrupt, so Marcus' parents had begged him to take Daryl's mother as his wife, who had been an heiress, to save their family from poverty.
Daryl's mother had genuinely loved him and he too had tried his best to reciprocate her feelings, but his stubborn heart fell in love with Karen the moment he saw her. Karen had applied for the secretary's position and he had hired her right away.
And look what his wrong decision brought him into. He knew their affair was a sin and not right, from the very start, and yet instead of turning away from the temptation, he had entertained it.
Karen… He loved her wholeheartedly but she was willing to kill him for her greed to secure power and money. He was blinded for too long and had even caused his relationship with his own son to falter.
"Father…" Daryl whispered when he turned around and noticed his father beside the wall leaning on his white cane.
Marcus smiled and said, "Son, I am sorry for intruding. Has Kenzie left already?"
"Yes, she has already left. We thought you were resting in your room so she did not want to bother you," Daryl said as he walked towards his father.
"Karen will come back any minute now as she won't be able to contact all her eyes here in the mansion," Daryl stated and his father nodded.
"Don't worry Son. I will let you handle everything now, even if she gets mad at me. All I will say is that you have full authority over everything… Including your mother's company…" Marcus said because he had already made his last will and testament and handed it all to Kenzie.
Marcus bit his inner cheeks. It turned out that Marcus' trusted lawyer and Karen were having an affair which was why it had been way too easy for Karen to forge everything and get authorization to everything she wanted.
"I'm sorry about this Father," Daryl whispered, seeing the pain in his father's eyes.
Marcus shook his head and whispered, "It's okay son. I'm grateful that you're finally here to straighten out my mess. I really feel ashamed."
"Father, everyone makes mistakes but what is important is that you're now willing to do what is right and not being blinded by your feelings towards her," Daryl whispered, trying his best to lift up his father's mood.
"How about a walk in the garden Father? The weather is nice outside," Daryl suggested and when his father nodded, he held his hand to guide him outside.
Meanwhile, Kenzie arrived at her office late and noticed how Cris was blooming.
"You look so inspired!" she teased.
Cris' face reddened and she timidly sat on the chair in front of Kenzie's table.
"Something happened yesterday and I think you must know about it since it concerns the company too," Cris whispered before she told Kenzie the truth.
"How could she!" Kenzie burst out on hearing her Aunt Lenny's absurd plan.
"This is getting out of hand already, what's with her trying to get Brix to use that tactic!" she added with a clenched jaw. She felt bad for her cousin who she knew was just trying his best to please his mother.
"Aunt Lenny's shares should all go to Brix," Kenzie whispered.
"I have an idea. I'm willing to bet on Brix on this matter, Cris, tell me if it's a good plan or not. If you think it is good then I will talk to Brix about it," Kenzie whispered.
She had a good plan but she had hesitated to implement it before because she knew how Brix was a mama's boy. However, seeing how Brix had come clean to Cris, her plan would be the best option to corner her Aunt Lenny.
As much as possible, Kenzie did not want to drag her fight with her Aunt Lenny or even mess things up by tarnishing her Aunt's name because she was still a part of their family.
Yes, she was being consumed by her greed but at least her Aunt Lenny was not using drastic moves like Daryl's stepmother, who was killing her father-in-law slowly. That was so heinous that Kenzie could not wait for Karen to be behind bars soon!!!
