Chapter 198
Broderick thought about it and said, “maybe.” “Why are you not asleep though? I thought that when my
personal assistant sent you a message, you would be asleep?” “I have my reasons for not sleeping. You
sound like you have a personal grudge with my woman?” Broderick questioned. “So you actually married
Martha legally?” “I do.” “And you love her truly?” “I don’t know what love is but I’m loyal and faithful to
her.”
Amy felt pained hearing him speak this way. Making Broderick to love her isn’t even the only thing Amy
has to do, Broderick have to literally divorce Martha and will that bitch ever sign the divorce papers even
if Broderick wants a divorce?
Broderick and his men drove inside B Hotel. Once the door of the car opened, he stepped down and saw
hundreds of others cars parked in the mansion.
Today, the Alessandro’s family home and abroad had come together for their clan’s urgent meeting and
B Hotel hall was used as their meeting point. Broderick stepped inside the hall and saw a large number
of people seated. He couldn’t even recognize many of them since many of the older ones prefer to give
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbirth to their children in other developed countries so they can get the citizenship of those developed
countries.
Broderick had never seen any reason to travel abroad, he rather wants NorthHill to rise from a
developing country to a developed country. He was fully patriotic unlike many who were here today.
Broderick noticed that many had a malicious look on their face. Weren’t they supposed to be cheerful
and greet him? Broderick went to seat amidst one of the seats while he awaits the presence of the Clan
master. The eldest of a clan is always, by default the head of the Clan. A lot of people began to talk,
some were rumouring and some ladies were having gist with each other. They just had to keep doing
something while awaiting the arrival of the Clan master. “The Clan Master is here,” Someone shouted
from the back and everywhere became quiet at once. An old man who should be in his seventies
appeared. His bodyguards couldn’t follow him inside the hall as this was a clan meeting and whatever is
discuss in here has to be private.
Everywhere became as quiet as a graveyard. The old man walked to the center seat that was specially
reserved for the Clan Master.
“Greetings!” His old but mighty voice sounded. Everyone stood including Broderick, they echoed with a
slight bow of their head,” you are welcome, Lord Douglas.”
Lord Douglas gestured for everyone to sit and everyone sat including Broderick. Lord Douglas placed his
big IPAD on the table and adjusted the glass on his eyes to make it a
rest comfortably on his nose, he scrolled through some stuffs on his laptop then he raised his head and
looked around, once his face fell on Broderick, he gestured for him to stand.
Broderick stood and bowed slightly,” Master!” The man starred at him with an emotionless gaze and
said,” your great grandfather managed the Alessandro’s corporation and it didn’t crash. Your grandfather
managed it well and passed it on to your father. Your father worked hard to maintain our reputation in the
city but when it gets to you, within a period of seven years of being the head of the Alessandro’s
corporation, you destroyed it to nought. Do you have an explanation behind this?”
“My Lord, In my first three years as the CEO of the Alessandro’s corporation, I literally doubled the
annual revenue and even you sent a message across to my mail then, congratulating me for a job well
done. I’m sure other clan members will see the result of my success in the Alessandro’s Clan group chat.
However, Michael Alessandro came over to North Hill six months and out of jealousy, burnt down the
company,” Broderick explained. “Do you have any prove that Michael was the one who burnt the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcompany?” He asked. “No, my Lord.” Broderick responded. “But not to worry, I’m not a bastard that will
let the family company crash, I am building another one and work has already started on it, in five to six
months, we would be done. It will be a resurrection of the Alessandro’s company. It will be bigger and
larger than the previous Alessandro’s family company.” Lord Douglas looked down to his IPAD and read
few lines from the note on his IPAD and said,” it’s a good thing you are working hard to build another
company for the family but we can not overlook your incompetence. Hence, I have discussed with the
elders privately before this meeting and had now decided to punish you.” Broderick remained standing
still, just staring at the old man and not saying anything. Lord Douglas raised his gaze to Broderick and
said, “Will you accept the punishment or will you disregard us just because of your status as the most
powerful man in North Hill?” “I have been taught to respect my elders. I will definitely accept the
punishment,” Broderick said and Lord Douglas nodded. “Before I declare your punishment, your second
offence which I and other elders of the Clan consider very brutal is depriving Nell off her right, you sent
her out of her home and made her a nonentity. You made the bank freeze her account and let her beg for
food on the street.“
