Chapter 337
Jonathan’s POV
Rollings Designs
I was pacing as they walked inside.
“Jonathan,” I thought you’d be relaxed now,” Daniel said.
“Relaxed?” I snorted.
“With Imelda bossing everyone at home p>
“I totally forgot about that.” Daniel sighed.
“You know the worst part with her now is?” I said.
“I used to curse every time I saw her, now I can’t even do that as now if I see her and want to curse, she has Veronica’s face p>
“Oh come on,” John said.
“Curse her all you want p>
“After all, the person behind the face is Imelda p>
“Then why don’t we get on with Alex?” Vance said.
“The sooner we do, the sooner we can begin executing our plans p>
“Now, first of all, how did he meet you?” Vance asked.
“Well, he didn’t actually meet me, he came to meet us during the Reunion launch p>
“In particular with Veronica p>
“He talked about how much he loved her paintings and kept referring to her as Ms. Harmon instead of Mrs Rollings p>
“Then he spoke about the collaboration between his house and Harmon Designs p>
“And at the time the proposal was quite beneficial for Harmon Designs p>
“It could have given Harmon Designs the boost to enter the international market p>
“He even made her question being with me, saying I couldn’t protect her and made her suffer for seven years p>
“Wait,” Vance said leaning over.
“He knew about all that p>
“He claimed he read about it p>
“Her living alone, raising Janet, and p>
“When did you tell the papers you are living separate from your wife back then or she had to raise Janet all by herself p>
“And you did send money to Veronica, only Imelda intercepted the money, which you never knew back then p>
“Come to think of it, yes…no one knew at the time p>
“Yet he did tell her about living alone p>
“Veronica herself told me when she came back home p>
“Oh, wait,” I said, recalling.
“He said he knew Fredrick at the same time I began Rollings Designs p>
“I still don’t think Fredick told him about Veronica living alone,” Vance said in a frank voice.
“Back then I also checked in on him,” John said.
“Over the years he has acquired lots of companies p>
“Some were struggling but some, even if they weren’t doing well, they weren’t on the verge of bankruptcy as well p>
“But one thing that stood out p>
“The jewelry house disappeared overnight p>
“The families…like gone from public view p>
“And of course, he also got the desire to have the Blue Heart from his father p>
“Initially he thought the Blue Heart belonged to the Harmon’s p>
“That’s the reason he was trying to win Veronica p>
“Later on he found out it belonged to me and was my mother’s p>
“Then my being a River heir came out p>
“Since then his interest shifted towards the River inheritance, and in particular the River Treaty p>
“Even now he tried to become the admin p>
“And the reason he financed Imelda’s surgery was so she could come home and access the vault p>
“And his past connection to the River family is?” John asked.
“He knows the Blue Heart was kept in the River vault, the reason he’s been obsessed with becoming the admin and keeps on finding ways to make me open the vault p>
“And now that we know his father was the Vale how caused the massacre back then, it all makes sense p>
Just then John’s phone buzzed so he took a look.
“Jonathan,” John said.
“My boys just sent an email p>
“According to the research, Alex’s father died a few months after he came here p>
“Alex was here, so he couldn’t be with him in his last time p>
“He left Alex a letter saying his soul will wait for the day he gets the Blue Heart p>
“How did you find what was written inside?” Vance asked.
“This can be used legally p>
“The guards opened the letter as Vale was denied from any access to anything that could help him breakout, so pen, pencil were denied p>
“The warden wrote the letter for him p>
“The warden said when he told Alex about the Blue Heart, he thought maybe it was something that belonged to Vale’s wife and he might have pawned it p>
“Alex arrived in the country, and wanted a collaboration with Harmon Designs p>
“Then all of a sudden his focus changed from Veronica to me p>
“And now that I think about it p>
“It’s after his father died p>
“Well, from the letter,” John said.
“It’s clear, his father wrote his soul is waiting for the Blue Heart p>
“So, Alex must be feeling it’s his duty to get the Blue Heart and present it to his father p>
“He’s trying to fulfill his father’s last wish p>
“Vale staged the robbery back then for the Blue Heart, but his men betrayed him causing the massacre and the one who stole the Blue Heart from my mother, the main reason Vale got captured p>
“Now all that Alex is seeing is his father’s wish and his promise p>
“He’s willing to take the wrong path to get it p>
“Okay, one thing is for certain,” I said.
“The Blue Heart is something his father desired, the reason he took such a big risk p>
“And now his son carries the same obsession p>
“Okay, we know Alex is after the Blue Heart for his father, and he won’t back off p>
“Unless he does something that will eventually put him where his father was p>
“Funding Imelda?” Daniel said. “Isn’t that enough to put him behind bars for a while p>
“Yes,” Vance said. “But not off the Blue Heart p>
“He’ll continue the moment he gets released p>
“So he’s after the Blue Heart for his father, fine p>
“But even so, he’s at fault p>
“And now whatever we do, we have to make sure he’s barred from even touching the Blue Heart even if it comes before him p>
“I’ll gather all the evidence we have to state he’s after the Blue Heart to fulfil his father’s promise,” John said.
“I’ll also gather DNA proof to prove Vale is Alex Vale’s father p>
“John, don’t jails use CCTVs?” Vance asked.
“Yeah, so p>
“He must have gone to visit his father before he passed away p>
“If we can get hold of that, that will be enough and more legal for me to prove his connection to Vale p>
“Alright, we all have our tasks, let’s get to work and deal with them once and for all p>
