Chapter 66
*************************************
PRESENT DAY
“Good day everyone. Today, we are here to elect a new CEO, but before that, I’ll like to show you all a video.” Rosalie said and clicked on the remote to put on the projector.
Then, she contected it to her laptop before clicking play on the video in her laptop.
The video started playing and everyone in the room watched with rapt attention except Robert who was fidgeting on his seat.
The video started out nice until a gruesome scene was shown to everyone.
“Oh my God.”
“What was that??”
“Did he actually pushed her??”
Everyone in the room were filled with disbelief as the watched Robert push Grandma Patricia off the balcony.
The meeting room was already filled with turmoil and agitation could be seen on the face of Robert.
“What do you think you’re doing Rosalie??” He managed to croak out.
“Showing everyone here who you truly are….” Rosalie muttered nonchalantly.
“And that’s not all..” Rosalie said and clicked on her laptop again.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why should we sit here and watch all these edited lies you’re showing us? Why would I kill my own mother?? Do you guys actually believe this??” Robert directed his questions to the shareholders.
“The video doesn’t look edited to me. How about you shut up and let her continue. God knows what other atrocities you’ve committed.” A shareholder commented, while staring at him in disgust.
“Yes…”
“Stop complaining and sit down.”
“Quiet you murderer..”
Rosalie smirked at Robert’s direction when she figured the board members where all in her favour.
“You’re going down today Robert….” She said inwardly.
The projector showed another video, but this one was about the conversation between Robert and Sofia.
Gasps filled the room when Robert choked Sofia to death.
“What was that??”
“How could he murder three people without remorse??”
“Who knew he was this greedy??”
“No wonder he didn’t want to elect a new CEO.”
Robert was getting really agitated and angry at their comments but what could he do now?? His secrets were already out in the open.
“With every thing I’ve showed all of you here, you can all agree with me that this murderer doesn’t deserve to be the CEO of this prestigious company nor does he deserve to have anything in this company under his name…” Rosalie said aloud while glaring at Robert in hatred.
“Yes…” The shareholders all said at the top if their voice.
“Good. So Mr. Tucker, since all the board members and I, the chairlady all agree to this decision, you’re hereby dismissed as the CEO of this company…”
“NOOOOOOOOO….” Robert screamed at the top of his voice.
“You can’t do that to me.. I’m the only heir to this conglomerate. Grandma Patricia’s only son..” Robert said. His face was red with anger.
“The same woman you murdered in cold blood??” A shareholder asked.
Robert was too stunned to answer.
“Robert, do yourself a favour and turn yourself in now so you’ll be given a lesser sentence…”
“Why should I do that??” Robert interrupted Rosalie.
“Why should I report myself for murdering those wenches???” Rosalie punched him hard on the face.
“Don’t you dare refer my Grandma and mother as wenches..” She warned angrily but she just found her act amusing. He chuckled making her surprised.
“But they are all wenches… whores… and the list goes on.” Rovert drawled while rubbing the cheek Rosalie had assaulted.
“You wanna know why I killed them??” Robert suddenly asked.
“Save your explanation because the cops are coming right now for you..” Rosalie spat.
The shareholders were all watching the show quietly.
“I killed them because they all deserved it. I murdered Sofia because she wouldn’t stop insulting me. Calling me names… that fucking bitch called me a coward. I killed my mother because she wouldn’t keep her fucking mouth shut. She tried to report be to the cops for killing the bitch you called a mother…”
“Shut up!!” Rosalie screamed at him but he just laughed in amusement
“And your mother. She was so beautiful, one of the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. I fell in love with her at first sight. Oh… those good old times.” Robert muttered while going back the memory lane.
“Then why did you kill her if you actually loved her??” Rosalie asked with tears brimming at the corner of her eyes.
“Because she was just too fucking difficult. After we got married, she always wasted no time in flaunting her wealth at my face. All because she was a really wealthy woman at her young age. She never let me touch her after she gave birth to you. Then I met Sofia, she showed me all the love I could ever want. She convinced me to kill your mother so we can have her wealth since we were both married and how could I say no?? I can never forget how she looked at me with that beautiful eyes of hers when I was busy injecting her with the chemicals. How her silky skin turned pale, I loved every detail of what had happened that day. And do you know what her last words were?? ‘Don’t hurt Rosalie.’ How pathetic…..” Robert drawled with a sadistic smile on his lips.
The tears that Rosalie had been trying to hold fell down freely from her eyes.
“You monster!!! How could you do that to her?? Mom loved you. She loved you dearly..” Rosalie croaked out with tears streaming down her face.
“No she didn’t. If she did, she would have given me part of her properties when I asked nicely. Then, I wouldn’t have to kill her.” Robert said.
“You are just greedy. You would have still killed her if she gave you her properties.” Rosalie said.
“I would have… same way I’m about to kill you now..” Robert said and brought out a pistol from his back pocket.
The once quiet room suddenly turned into a market place. Loud screams were heard as the were all surprised to see Robert holding a fully loaded gun.
Rosalie didn’t look fazed at all. She just stood there while giving him a deadly stare.
“Robert… what are you doing?? Drop the gun.” A shareholder said in fear.
“You all are scared now huh?? You weren’t this afraid when you were talking shit about me huh??” Robert asked angrily.
“We are so sorry. Please just drop the gun. It hasn’t gotten to this.” Another said.
“It hasn’t. But don’t fear because you all aren’t my target. Rosalie, if I can’t have this wealth, no one will.” Robert muttered befire a gunshot was heard.
“Ahhhhhh” Everyone screamed in shock as they watched Robert fall to the grond while stained with thick layers of his own blood.
The cops had arrived in time and shot him straight on his hand that was wielding the gun.
******************************************
Rosalie was in her car as she was heading home. She smiled happily. Her enemies have finally lost. Thankfully, Robert didn’t die. He only sustained a gunshot wound that has already been treated.
Right now, he’s in the police custody. Suddenly, a call entered her phone. Rosalie checked the screen to see who the caller was. She smiled happily when she saw Tyler’s name written on the screen.
“Hello..” She said immediately she picked the call.
“Hey baby.. judging by your tone, I guess it went well.” Tyler said.
“Yes.. now, Robert is at the sta….”
Her words were cut off when the car was jerked to a halt. The sudden halt made her bounce foward.
“What’s wrong??” Rosalie asked when she finally regain her composure.
“Our car was suddenly blocked by….”
A gunshot was heard and blood spilled all over the driver’s seat. The driver had been shot. Rosalie screamed in horror.
“What’s wrong???” Tyler asked when he heard her scream.
“We are being att.. aaaaaaa.”
“Rosalie!!!” Tyler was already agitated when he heard her scream again.
A bulgy man suddely broke the glass and opened the door to the passengers seat. Rosalie wanted to escape through the other door but he dragged her back.
He pulled her out of the car and covered her nose with a handkerchief. She was slowly loosing consciousness but before then, she was able to see one familar face.
“Leonard…” She muttered before darkness engulfed her.
