Chapter 235 - Business rival?

Rocky frowned and asked," Where did you get this from?"

" It was lying inside the car." Chris said.

Shoving the letter inside his pocket, Matt said," Let's talk about this tomorrow."

Chris and Rocky nodded their heads and said," Alright."

" Mr Walker, the police are here." The manager said.

" Let's not mention the note." Matt said.

" Mr Walker, it's a pleasure meeting up." The police officer said.

Chris nodded his head and said," It's a pleasure meeting you too."

" So do you have any idea or someone you think might have done this?" The police officer asked.

Chris shook his head and said," I have no idea."

" Any business rival? Who has been bugging you?" The officer asked.

Chris shook his head and said," No."

The officer nodded his head and said," We will start investigating now and if you have any kind doubt or you think someone might've done this please don't hesitate to give me a call." 

" Of course." Chris said.

After the officer left, Chris sighed and said," I loved my car."

" You can repair that." Rocky said.

Chris sighed and nodded his head. What else could he do? 

Rocky took a deep breath and asked," Do you both also think that it's related to SPIRIT or it's just me who is overthinking?"

" I feel the same." Matt said.

" Whoever it was, entered the premises without getting caught and managed to escape too. Do you think this building is safe now?" Chris asked.

" The security inside the buildings, especially our building, is very tight. Just to be extra careful, I'll appoint a few more men." Matt said.

" Everything is so complicated, I am having a headache now." Rocky said.

" Did you tell Janet about it?" Matt asked.

" Not the whole thing but I don't intend to hide this from her, I will tell her everything tonight." Rocky said.

Chris sighed and said," I told Martha about it."

" You should take her upstairs, she looks so tensed." Rocky said before turning towards Martha.

Chris nodded his head and said," Okay."

" Don't worry about this, we can discuss this and then think of something tomorrow." Matt said.

" I'll take my leave then." Chris said before walking towards Martha.

" Chris this-"

Cupping her face, Chris said," Calm down okay? Everything is okay." 

" But-"

Cutting her off, Chris said," Let's go back and I'll make a nice dessert for you."

Martha nodded her head and left along with Chris.

….

Rocky's and Janet's apartment.

" What was that?" Janet asked.

Rocky sighed and said," It's a bit complicated but I'll tell you everything." before guiding her towards the couch.

Holding Janet's hand, Rocky said," Something happened today."

" What?" Janet asked.

" Do you remember Silvia's long dead biological parents?" Rocky asked.

" Uncle George and Aunt Sabrina?" Janet asked.

Rocky nodded his head and said," Yes."

Pausing for a while, he said," They came back today."

Janet widened her eyes in shock and shouted," What?"

Rocky nodded his head and said," They were not dead. They faked their death and left London several years back and were living in California with a new name and identity."

" But why? Why would they do that? What about Silvia? Why did they leave her alone?" Janet asked.

Rocky took a deep breath and said," I'll tell you everything in detail but listen to me carefully and don't freak out." 

When Janet nodded her head, Rocky started feeding her with all the details. From SPIRIT to how the competition worked, from why Silvia's parents abandoned her to what had happened in Uncles Thomas' house, about how the Browns were involved and how Janet's aunt was killed by her best friend, Silvia's mom during the competition.

Janet fronwed and asked," You mean my Aunt Matilda Brown?"

Rocky nodded his head and asked," Yes, were you and your aunt close?"

" I don't remember much about her because she didn't stay with us. I had heard that she used to stay with her boyfriend and my dad also had a rebellious thing going on with her so she never visited us." Janet said.

" That boyfriend of hers was Silvia's uncle and the VP of Jones Enterprise, Jackson Jones." Rocky said.

" Why would she do that? Weren't they best friends and she was also her brother's girlfriend?" Janet asked.

Rocky shook her head and said," I don't know, maybe for powers." 

Pushing for a while, Rocky said," Silvia is the next heir of SPIRIT and you are one of the competitors who will fight with her during the competition."

Janet fronwed and said," There is no way I am going to fight-forget about fighting, I am not going to take part in that stupid competition and neither will I let Silvia take part in that stupid thing. Silvia and I have been best friends since kindergarten, forget about killing, I cannot even fight with her."

Holding Janet's hand, Rocky said," I know babe and that is why I am a little less worried about you but still you have to stay alert. I have assigned a few bodyguards for you and you have to keep them close."

Janet sighed and nodded her head. 

" And STAY away from your father." Rocky said.

" And also from that Markus guy." Rocky said.

Janet nodded her head and said," Okay but I want to meet Silvia."

" I don't think so they are back yet." Rocky said.

" I'll talk to her tomorrow then." Janet said.

…..

Uncle Thomas' place.

" It's already late, why don't you all just stay over?" Uncle Thomas asked.

" We can stay over I guess." Silvia said.

Kevin nodded his head and said," Alright."

" Herpi, Julie you people should stay over too." Aunt Lily said.

" I don't mind staying over." Aunt Julie said.

Turning towards Amy, Silvia said," You should stay here too."

" I did not tell brother-in-law and sister Jan about it." Amy said.

" I'll give Rocky a call." Kevin said.

" We can share a room." Jeren said.

Amy smiled and nodded her head.

" What about uncle Jackie?" Silvia asked.

Jackie smiled and said," I'll stay here too."

" I'll go help mom arrange everything." Silvia said.

" Steve, go help your mom and sister." Uncle Thomas said.

Steve nodded his head and left.

" I'll go and help them too." Aunt Julie said.

After everyone left, Kevin frowned and asked," Now will you people tell me what you are hiding?"
