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
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 157: Hey Franklin, I need your help!
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. She decided to pick her phone and call F
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 160: We know who killed Beautrice
One of the police officers came out with the tape recording that Flynn had installed without Jack's and Franklin's knowledge."We found this," the officer said handing over the small device to the chief. The chief pressed a button and the recorded conversation that took place the whole time that Flynn was in the laboratory played to his hearing."Hey, Dexter, there's something I want you to listen to," the chief called out to him. All efforts to speak with Sonia had proved futile as she wasn't ready to listen to him. He had to go to the chief to hear what it was that he wanted him to hear.The chief played the recording and as Dexter listened, a feeling of guilt washed over him. He couldn't believe Flynn had gone to such extent to prove Richard's innocence. The voice recording was enough evidence to prove that Richard wasn't the one who killed Beautrice."Now we know who killed Beautrice," the chief remarked as the recording came to an end."Yes we do," Dexter replied. The screeching
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 161: We're taking Dexter down tonight!
As the sounds of "jingle bells" were heard on the eve of Christmas, the tears of all who loved Flynn also filled the place. It was a heart wrenching funeral leaving all who attended in tears. Lacey, Flynn's younger sister couldn't believe that her beloved brother was no more. She blamed herself for Flynn's death."I asked him to go back. He wanted to buy a land and farm with it to live a peaceful and quiet life but I asked him to go back to the woman he loved." Lacey cried.Sonia couldn't hold back her tears as Lacey's cry filed the place. She closed Lacey in a warm embrace consoling her but Lacey wouldn't listen as she continued crying.Everyone in their sober state watched as Flynn's coffin was lowered into the grave."I'm sorry for the loss," Dexter heard someone say.He turned around and saw Sandy. He wasn't expecting to see her at Flynn's funeral but he was grateful all the same that she had come around."Thank you," Dexter replied.Mrs Stannins was with Ivy who was sitting on a
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 162: Please don't hurt Lacey!
Upon arriving home, Dexter walked Sonia and Lacey to Sonia's room. He ensured they rested before leaving to his room. The following morning would be Christmas which would be one of the worst Christmas he'll ever have. Returning to his room, he fell on his bed his eyes looking towards the ceiling. With everything that has been happening within the Richmond's empire, his fear only increased. The thought of everyone he worked with betraying him, hit him hard like a tonne of bricks. He didn't know whom to trust anymore. First it was Beautrice stealing the D-VEX drive from his office and now it was Sarah taking sides with the people who had killed Beautrice. If not for Flynn no one would have been able to find out who really killed Beautrice. While he was in his deep thoughts, his phone rang and it was Sandy calling. He was surprised to see Sandy calling. He noticed he had been receiving calls from Sandy quite often but that was not a problem. He could only wonder why Sandy had decided
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 163: Nothing bad will happen to you
Sandy arrived at Dexter's place only to meet the chief of police and some other police officers at the mansion. From the look of things, it appeared as though something bad had happened around the mansion. "What's going on here?" She asked Sonia who ignored her question. Sonia had never liked Sandy and seeing her at the mansion uninvited and in the middle of such chaos raised up questions within her but she just ignored and brushed past her. "Dexter had been kidnapped," the chief replied in Sonia's place. Sandy wasn't really surprised. She already knew who was behind it from the phone call she had answered earlier. "When did you notice he was kidnapped?" Sandy asked. "Just this evening. He wasn't the only one who was kidnapped. Someone else was taken too," the chief replied. "Who?" Sandy asked but the chief wasn't able to reply her before a fellow officer called his attention to something. Richard too had come. Hearing that Dexter had been kidnapped came as a surprise to
