Franklin answered."Ah, Franklin," a cryptic voice greeted him from the other end."Who is this?" Franklin's inquired."No need for formalities, Franklin. I'm well aware of your role as the forensic detective assigned to the case of Beautrice Morgan's untimely death," the voice replied."Yes, that's correct. Do you have information relevant to the investigation?" Franklin decided to ask."Not quite, Franklin. I'm here to offer you a piece of advice: withhold your findings," the voice urged, its sinister intent palpable."And why would I entertain such a suggestion?" Franklin asked."Because, Franklin, failure to comply will result in dire consequences. You have precisely one hour to hand over your analysis, or you'll bid farewell to y

With trembling hands, he twisted the faucet, the rush of cold water cascading over his weary frame in a torrential downpour.For a fleeting moment, the icy embrace of the shower offered respite from the suffocating grip of uncertainty, its relentless stream washing away the remnants of his disquietude.

"I heard you're meeting with Mr Chong Wei." Sonia began."Yes, I am," Dexter replied. "Is something wrong?" He inquired further."Yes Dexter. This is not the first time Mr Chong Wei is seeking partnership with Richmond's. He's not a trust worthy businessman." Sonia replied."What do you mean?" Dexter probed. He knew Sonia wasn't the type who'd just accuse a person without concrete evidence."Here. Go through it," Sonia replied handing him some documents."What's this?" Dexter asked furrowing his brow."Just go through it Dexter and you'll find out." Sonia replied.Dexter opened the documents, the revelations contained in it, leaving him in total surprise."You mean his real name isn't Chong Wei?" Dexter asked surprised."That's what the document says. His real name is Xian Lee. He's one of the few persons who was part of a secret council known as the RSC." Sonia explained."Oh! The RSC, I know about it. It was part of the information that was revealed in the D-VEX drive." Dexter state
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 156: This is the CCTV footage!
After the first hearing of Beautrice's death in the court, Richard found himself in a tight spot. The evidence stacked against him were so convincing, pointing to him as the murderer, especially with his fingerprints discovered on the dagger which was used to carry out the cold blooded murder. He couldn't wrap his head around how they got there.His lawyer, sensing the gravity of the situation, probed, "Is there anything, Richard, anything at all that might shed light on your innocence? Any detail, no matter how small?"Richard shook his head in frustration, "I wish I knew. But that morning, when the police showed up, it was like waking up in a fog. Something felt off, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I really wish I could remember but I can't."His lawyer furrowed his brow, contemplating Richard's words. It was a puzzle they needed to solve, and time was running out. The second hearing had been scheduled to take place the following week and if they don't get enough evidence to prov

Dexter couldn't attend Richard's first hearing in court. He had gone to the hospital with Ivy on an appointment with her physiotherapist. She was gradually recovering and Dexter was glad to know that she'll be back to her old self in no time. His only fear was if she'd ever recall what had led to her kidnapping and those who were responsible.Stephanie was glad to see the support that Dexter was offering her daughter. She felt bad that she had said a lot of hurtful words to Dexter during the time that Ivy was in the hospital."I'm really sorry for all the hurtful words I said to you at the hospital," Stephanie apologized."It's fine miss Stannins. I hold no grudge. I just want you to know that I care about as much as you do if not even more." Dexter assured her with a warm smile.After spending a few more hours with Ivy, who was still struggling to recognise him as her fiance, he returned to the office. He had a meeting with the board of directors and after that, he still had to meet
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 158: My lab has been breached!
Franklin hailed a cab to meet up with Dexter. Dexter had just finished speaking with the chief on the phone, who had informed him about the possibility of Sarah being involved in Beautrice's death."You called for me," Franklin said, stepping into Dexter's office."Yes, Franklin. Why are you doing this? Why are you making Richard suffer?" Dexter inquired, his expression grave."What do you mean? How am I making Richard suffer?" Franklin questioned, confusion evident in his voice."Why was Richard suddenly the prime suspect in Beautrice's death?" Dexter pressed."Because his fingerprints were found all over the dagger that was used in the murder," Franklin replied, his tone defensive."But it's possible for there to be multiple fingerprints on a weapon. Why were you so quick to pin it on Richard?" Dexter probed further, suspicion creeping into his voice.Franklin wasn't prepared to offer any explanations. The safety of his wife and son was still at stake, with their abductors promising
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 159: Flynn is dead!
Franklin tried to stop Jack from pulling the trigger but Jack was adamant. He knew he had to protect Alex by all means and the only way to do that was to make sure that Flynn doesn't get to leave the laboratory.Flynn dared him to pull the trigger if he was really not a coward."You should have known better than to get involved in matters that don't concern you. I hope Dexter is able to save you," Jack said his eyes burning with anger."I don't need Dexter to save me. And even if I don't get to make it out of here alive, I'll be glad because I know that the real murderer of Beautrice has been found.Franklin was surprised to see the level of loyalty that Flynn had for Dexter. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before.He wished he was half the man who Flynn was and could not be easily be swayed but the life of his wife and son were at stake and that was the only way he knew he could get to save them.-----Sonia had finished with her work.
