Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 140: How come you have my purse?
Sonia's heart sank as she watched Flynn prepare to leave the hospital the following morning, her mind swirling with a whirlwind of emotions. She couldn't bear the thought of him leaving Malibu, of their time together coming to an end so soon."Is there nothing I can do to stop you from leaving?" she implored, her voice tinged with desperation.Flynn's expression softened at her words, his gaze filled with regret. "I wish I could stay, Sonia, but Malibu is not for me," he confessed, his voice heavy with resignation. "I want to lead a quiet life henceforth, far from the hustle and bustle of a typical Californian lifestyle."Sonia felt a pang of sadness grip her heart as she listened to Flynn's words. She knew she couldn't change his mind, couldn't force him to stay against his will. But still, she couldn't help but wish for more time together, for the chance to explore the depths of their connection and see where it might lead.With a heavy sigh, Sonia resigned herself to the inevitable

Sandy was surprised, wondering why Dexter would look into her purse. Even if she knew that Dexter was at the verge of finding out about her involvement in Ivy's kidnapping, she needed to create some elements of doubt all the same."Why would you check my purse?" Sandy blurted out angrily."So you had a hand in Ivy's abduction. You're such a disgusting lady Sandy." Dexter snapped at her throwing the documents at her."And it didn't even end there, you also made an attempt on her life. You're despicable!" Sandy's brows furrowed at Dexter's false accusation on her having made an attempt on Ivy's life."What are you talking about?" Sandy asked, the surprised look on her face enough to convince Dexter that she had no idea on what he was talking about."Stop playing innocent Sandy. You and I know it's true. You tried to kill Ivy." Dexter said with so much anger in his voice."I won't sit back and watch you accuse me of something I didn't do Dexter." She snapped back angrily."I won't rest
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 142: Richard is back!
As the morning sun cast its golden glow over the quiet streets of Malibu, Sonia took it upon herself to drive Flynn and his sister to the train station, determined to see them off and bid them a final farewell."I'll miss you, Flynn," she said, her voice tinged with sadness as she shared a warm embrace with him, her heart heavy with the weight of impending separation."I'll miss you too, Sonia," Flynn replied, his voice filled with genuine affection as he returned her embrace.Flynn felt a lump form in his throat as he struggled to find the right words to express his feelings. "I'm really sorry for everything that happened between us. I—" But before Flynn could continue, Sonia gently hushed him, placing a finger across his lips."You've already apologized, and I've forgiven you," she reassured him, her voice filled with compassion and understanding."Thank you so much," Flynn replied, his gratitude evident in his eyes as he met Sonia's gaze."And just in case you change your mind, you
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 143: Ivy's awake!
Dexter arrived at the café to meet Sandy seated all by herself with a glass of alcohol. He walked up to her almost startling her, "Why are you drinking?" He asked.Sandy, her thoughts consumed by the looming threat from Victor to disgrace her mother, barely registered Dexter's presence. Without preamble, she slid the stack of papers across the table."These are the documents," Sandy said, handing them over to Dexter. He reached for his pen and quickly signed them, having already reviewed their contents earlier."Thank you, Dexter," Sandy greeted with a nod of appreciation.Dexter was expecting her departure after he had signed the documents, but Sandy lingered. "Aren't you leaving yet?" he asked."No, not yet. I'm waiting for someone," Sandy replied, her gaze wandering towards the entrance."Dexter could already sense whom Sandy was waiting for, prompting him to anticipate the unfolding of events. He knew it was the person who had asked her to have him sign the documents for her. He w
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 144: 10% chance, 90% hope
Dexter arrived at the hospital around 9 p.m. that evening to find the doctors conducting various checks on Ivy. Despite his long and stressful day, the news of Ivy's awakening compelled him to set aside any thoughts of rest and rush to her side. Ivy lay still in her hospital bed, her eyes open but her body motionless, casting a shadow of concern over Dexter's hopeful anticipation.Approaching Stephanie with a heavy heart, Dexter inquired about Ivy's condition."The doctors are still trying to determine the exact aftermath of Ivy's condition, but I'm afraid it may align with the initial report we received when Ivy was found," Stephanie lamented, her expression portraying every bit of worry."Don't say that, ma'am. Ivy will be fine," Dexter offered words of encouragement, hoping to instill a sense of hope amidst the uncertainty.After a few minutes, the chief of police arrived, having been informed by Stephanie about Ivy's awakening."How's she doing?" the chief inquired, directing his
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 145: The grand opening ceremony
Dexter was surprised to see Sonia, Richard, and Flynn at the hospital, his brow furrowing in confusion as he addressed them."What are you guys doing here?" he asked, his tone a mix of bewilderment and concern. "I thought I told Sonia I'd be home soon."Sonia exchanged a meaningful glance with Richard before speaking up. "This isn't just about you, Dexter. It's about Ivy," she explained, her words heavy with unspoken implications."I'm yet to believe what you told me about the doctor's report." Richard said."It's true, Richard," he confirmed solemnly. "Ivy's condition isn't good."Richard's anger flared at the confirmation, his resolve hardening as he spoke. "Then it's time we dig in deep and find out who really did this to Ivy," he declared. "We can't just sit back and allow her to suffer like this."Dexter immediately recalled his encounter with Sandy at the café, "I think I know who was responsible for Ivy's abduction and how she got the injury in her head that landed her in the
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 146: What's going on here?
Sandy excused Victor and went to meet Dexter and Richard, her attempt at cordiality met with frosty reception."You didn't tell me you'd be coming," Sandy said with forced politeness."I don't see the reason why I should," Dexter retorted curtly, his demeanor aloof as he brushed past her. Richard followed suit, his silence echoing Dexter's indifference.Sandy's heart quickened at their dismissive attitudes, a sense of foreboding settling over her like a shroud. But she pushed aside her apprehension, determined to maintain a façade of composure in the face of their disdain."Heard Ivy's finally awake," Sandy remarked casually.Dexter's footsteps faltered at the mention of Ivy's name, his gaze piercing as he turned to face Sandy. "And how did you find out?" he inquired."I don't see the reason why I should tell you," she retorted defiantly, her words laced with defiance as she turned on her heel and made her way to join the other guests.Everyone was already seated in the grand hall whe
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 147: How could you betray me, Sandy?
Priscilla's confusion turned to disbelief as Victor Smith took the stage, seemingly usurping the role of chairman of the mall. Standing up from her seat, she couldn't contain her bewilderment."What's going on here?" she demanded, her voice cutting through the tension in the room.Raphael, equally stunned by the unexpected turn of events, rose from his seat beside her. Dexter, on the other hand, remained seated, watching the unfolding drama with a sense of amusement.Before anyone could offer an explanation, Priscilla took matters into her own hands, striding purposefully towards Victor."Who are you?" she demanded, her tone demanding answers.Victor's calm facade began to crack as Priscilla confronted him, her anger palpable in her words."Who the hell are you? And why is your name listed as the chairman of the mall?" she demanded, her voice laced with frustration.Victor's patience wore thin as he faced Priscilla's relentless questioning. His voice, now tinged with anger, cut throug

Dexter and the police officers arrived at the abandoned factory where James was holding Sonia, Richard, and Ivy hostage. The officers closed in, weapons drawn, shouting commands for James to stop and surrender. But James had already made up his mind."I'll blow up this whole place, and we'll all die together," he threatened, clutching the remote control tightly, his eyes wild with determination.Katherine, recognizing the seriousness of James's threat and the extent to which he was willing to go for his revenge, stepped out from the midst of the police officers. With a determined look, she made her way into the factory, hoping to defuse the situation before it was too late."Mother, where do you think you are going?"

“Today, I'll have my full revenge. Today I'll end it once and for all,” James muttered, his eyes burning with anger as he opened the small briefcase he was holding. Mr. Blaq stood beside him wondering what he was doing as that wasn't part of the initial plan. Several other men were in the room, each holding a gun, their faces set with grim determination. “What are you doing?” Richard asked, his voice trembling as he caught sight of the item in the briefcase, which looked alarmingly like a bomb. “I’m about to send you all to the devil,” James scoffed, his tone dripping with malicious disdain. Richard’s eyes widened in fear. “You’re insane! You can’t do this!” James chuckled darkly. “Oh, but I can. And I will. It’s time for the Richmond empire to fall, and you’re just collateral damage.” Mr. Blaq shifted uneasily, glancing at the other men. Despite his loyalty to James and the Rogue's Secret Coalition, he hadn’t signed up for mass murder. “James, are you sure about this? The

"Raphael and Priscilla are finally behind bars,” Julio said as he addressed members of the Rogue Secret Coalition. “All along they thought they were masters of the game not knowing that they were not even players in the first place,” James scoffed, his voice dripping with utter disdain.There was an unusual silence that fell upon them in the room as if someone had walked in but it was quickly interrupted by president Lee Chan's crackling voice.“There's no need basking in an already won victory. Raphael and Priscilla Wayne were just pawns in this game right from the very beginning. They've served their purpose and it's time to look into the bigger picture,”Julio's respect for Lee Chan had always been massive seeing how much he reasoned like himself. If there was something he liked about Lee Chan, it was the fact that his hunger for power was like a vampire thirsty for blood.“That's right. It's time to hit the big target and that's Dexter Richmond himself.” Julio said, his eyes meet

This isn't good,” Katherine's forehead creased slightly conveying a sense of unease. They had left the mourning room as soon as they heard that James had escaped. That wasn't part of the plan. With James already out of the picture, it was left with Julio and Mr Blaq but now that James had escaped, they could smell trouble brewing already. “So what do we do now?” Dexter asked, seeing that there was really not much he could bring himself to think about regarding everything that was happening. “We'll have to be vigilant. If James had failed in his first attempt to kill you, he'll come again and this time, he won't spare you.” Katherine revealed, her hands clasped, with a palpable sense of nervous energy underlying her demeanor. Dexter could understand what his mother was saying but in the midst of it all, he still wanted to know why his mother and Ivy's mother had a rough conversation earlier. The fact that the two of them would become inlaws soon was a matter of concern to him. He

Katherine and Dexter entered into the room to see every mourning. He approached Priscilla with his own bouquet of flower offering his sympathy to her.Katherine too offered her sympathy causing everyone except Stephanie to wonder who she was and why she was with Dexter.“Katherine!” Stephanie exclaimed, upon recognizing her as Dexter's mother and her once upon a time friend.“You know her?” Ivy inquired, her curiosity piqued.“Yes dear. That's Dexter's biological mother.” Stephanie replied, causing Ivy's mouth to open wide in awe as she had never expected it. From his conversation with Dexter back when they newly started dating, he had told her that his mother was probably dead having been left and abandoned at an orphanage as a baby.“What's she doing here? And did Dexter get to find her?” Stephanie muttered to herself.Dexter noticed Ivy's presence and walked up to her. He felt bad that he had not shown himself to her ever since he got out of the burning warehouse alive.“Ivy….” He

“Cliches, like the darkest hour, are just before dawn. Priscilla was still finding it difficult to recover from the death of Sandy. She stayed in her room all day refusing to eat and not wanting to talk to anybody. She felt like her world had ended now that Sandy was no more. The armed forces and the police took up the matter to find who actually attempted to kill Dexter that night. With all of Dexter's enemies out of the way, the investigation narrowed down to two possible individuals - Julio Jones and Mr Blaq. “You idiot! How did you manage to miss him?” The air crackled with Julio's voice, rising with frustration and indignation at the young man whom he had asked to finish off Dexter once and for all.He had laid down specific instructions and wasn't expecting anything to go wrong. “It's the lady who stepped in. I already had a clear shot but she immediately stepped in.” The young man replied, his fist clenched and his tone assertive.The young man was one of the best assassins

As the ambulance took off that night, Dexter couldn't help it but to pray silently in his heart that nothing bad should happen to Sandy.“Please hurry up,” Dexter's cry echoed through the van, his cloth stained with blood. His fear kept increasing as he watched Sandy's life slowly fade away.“Don't die, Sandy,” His voice trembled as tears began to flow of their own accord.He had never expected that Sandy would do something like that for him, not after her betrayal when they were still married.The night seemed to be darker and quieter as the team of paramedics conveyed Sandy to the Emergency Room.
