CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR ENOUGH EVIDENCE
Mr Cyrus was given the opportunity to level his evidence against Marcus. Mr. Cyrus took a deep breath as he approached the witness stand. The courtroom fell silent as he was sworn in. Across the aisle, Marcus sat stone-faced beside his lawyer, undoubtedly concocting another pack of lies to wiggle out of this predicament. But not this time. This time, Mr. Cyrus had ammunition that would blow Marcus's house of cards to nothingness."Mr. Cyrus," the prosecutor began. "Please show to the court the evidence that you claim to have against the defendant, Mr. Marcus Royale and go on to tell us how you got the evidence."Mr Cyrus nodded, as if to show that he understood the question. Then he began. "First, I approached Jackie. I had to be sneaky about it because her father was keeping her sequestered away. I spoke with her to confirm her side of the story, and worked to secretly have her brought here to testify publicly. But I still have a recording of our conversation from that night.”He br
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR THE FINAL SENTENCE
All eyes were glued to Marcus, who had gone utterly pale and clammy. He looked like a man already behind bars, the life slowly draining from his eyes as he understood his meticulously crafted lies were now worthless. The cocky sneer he had worn at the start of proceedings was nowhere to be found, and was now replaced by the haunted look of someone who knew they were out of moves.His lawyer didn't even bother trying to object. He simply sank back into his chair, looking as shell-shocked as his client. All his well-rehearsed arguments, all his grandstanding for the sake of bilking a rich client had all amounted to nothing in the face of such damning, unarguable proof. Meanwhile, Mr Cyrus couldn't help but feel a sense of grim satisfaction wash over him. All those sleepless nights spent agonizing over how to protect Jackie and bring Ellis's offender to justice had led to this decisive moment. He stole a glance over at Jackie, who was seated in the gallery with red-rimmed eyes, her sligh

The Royale Company always had an annual office party where the employees were celebrated for their work every year. Different awards and prizes were given to diligent workers to encourage them to keep up the good work.

CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR SHE FINALLY CONFESSED
Ellis was called for an interview earlier that day by a press company, and after answering all the business questions, he had been asked a question about his relationship status. People were more interested in his personal life, especially after the court case where his innocence was proven. He was doing interviews to portray to the public that he was working towards putting the whole ugly incident behind him. It would also help to reduce the bad publicity surrounding the company."So, are you single, Mr Ellis? Statistics show you might be the most eligible bachelor out there. But we first have to confirm your relationship status." the interviewer teased. Ellis chuckled at the word, ‘most eligible bachelor’. "Yes, I am single. I have been single for a while now, and I plan to remain perpetually single." He smiled. “I’m more focused on learning all I can to take over my father’s business, improving myself mentally, and graduating at the top of my class. Relationships can be really di
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR SICK
The normal lives of the Royales continued without any obstacles — at least not yet. And Mr Cyrus went about overseeing the activities of the Royale Company when the unexpected happened. It was just another typical Tuesday morning Cyrus Royale arrived at his office at the Royale Company. As he settled in behind his large mahogany desk, his personal assistant, Jane knocked and entered with his usual morning coffee and a plate of danish pastries from the cafeteria that Mr Cyrus was particularly fond of. "Good morning, sir. I've pulled the files you requested on the Gibbons acquisition for today's meeting," Jane said as she set the coffee and pastries down. "Excellent. Thank you, Jane. You're a treasure as always," Mr Cyrus replied with a brief smile before taking a sip of his coffee. Jane retreated back to her office area, leaving Mr Cyrus to review his notes before the board meeting at 10am. But just about twenty minutes later, Mr Cyrus began feeling a slight burning sensation in his
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR DETERMINED ELLIS
They would have to start investigating who tried to poison Mr Cyrus, but for the time being, he needed to be treated. The mage that was called to check Mr Cyrus’ aura was a close friend, so he promised to make potions to try and correct the poisoned aura. But in the meantime, he did a spell that would allow the doctors to medically determine the type of poison used. That way they could attack the toxin in two ways, medically, and magically. Dr. Wheeler gathered her team of specialists to try to formulate a desperate treatment plan to save Mr Cyrus's life. They administered a powerful mixture of anticonvulsant medications to try to override the effects of the toxin and prevent Mr Cyrus from going into full respiratory arrest and cardiac failure or even death. Outside Mr Cyrus's ward and with her fellow doctors, Dr Wheeler received questions on Mr Cyrus's condition, as it was a surprising and unusual one. "How did this happen?" one of the other doctors asked in a hushed tone as they w
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR SPECULATING
Since his mentor Mr Cyrus was currently unavailable to train him, Ellis had to continue on his own. He didn’t have much knowledge on cultivation apart from what his father had taught him, so he was limited. He still didn’t give up though. He continued meditating everyday, and trying to find more information on spells he could use. But he had issues that were distracting him. Just like George had planned, the speculations on who tried to kill Mr Cyrus by poisoning had been narrowed down to Ellis. Now, everyone was adding their own theories and concluded that it had to be the heir apparent of the Royale Company and family wealth. Some people were spreading it just because they liked to gossip about rich people’s misfortunes in order to make their pitiful lives seem more interesting. Whispers began to fly around, and people began to give Ellis funny looks, all of which he was oblivious to because he was too focused on his schedule daily. Ellis went to school, but the energy at school
