Hidden Fortune’s Heir Escaping trouble
Having no choice but to leave, Caroline walked on the street thinking of where to go next. If her family wouldn’t offer her money to get Harrison back, then who would?Who would be able to offer her a whopping sum of a hundred million dollars? That money was way too much and the period given to her was very short.How could she raise that amount of money in less than twenty-four hours?Just then, she thought about Ramon. Since he offered them help that day, maybe he could lend her some money. But now the real problem would be how to contact him. Getting to see him was impossible, and contacting him was even worse.Still trying to conclude, she figured the only way to see or get a clue about where he could be was to go to Sterling Corporation.Quickly, she boarded a taxi and drove off to the company.——Caroline alighted the cab and walked into the company hurriedly. Her hair was such a mess giving out a bad impression of her, yet she wasn't concerned about that.When she was seen runn
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Can I get a loan?
The car pulled over and Whitman went into the company with Caroline. Everyone was shocked to see the mad woman who they sent away walking back into the company with not just anyone but Whitman.They didn’t fail to see how Whitman was cowering in fear, signifying that the woman was someone significant. The guards and the receptionist especially knew their jobs would be put on the line for what they had done.“Ooh, I know this woman,” the receptionist said, shivering. Just now she remembered that Caroline was the same woman who came in weeks to apply for a contract. That same woman was welcomed by Ramon himself with full hands.Ramon even went to extra lengths to warn her that in any circumstance, if Caroline came to the company, she should be let in, but then the receptionist did the opposite. She even worsened everything by asking the guards to send her out.“What do you mean you know her?” The guards were overwhelmed at first and after hearing what she said felt like a giant boulder
Hidden Fortune’s Heir I am coming with you
“Hundred million dollars? If I may ask, what do you need such an amount of money for?” Whitman asked. Even though it was just a little amount to him, it shouldn't be the amount needed by someone like her. What would she use it for?On the other hand, Ramon also shook his head, waiting to hear the answer she was going to give. Though he dared not ask any further questions as he thought it must be a test from Harrison, even at that he couldn't help but be shocked.“I am sorry if that came out too sudden, but I require it to save my husband,” Caroline said after reading their reactions. It was expected. No one would hear that amount of money and wouldn't gasp in shock.Hearing what she said made both men curious. Help her husband? What is going on?“Can you be specific? What is going on with your husband?” Ramon asked, running impatiently as he could smell something was wrong.“He has been kidnapped,” Caroline said quickly.“What? Young-” Whitman swallowed the remaining words back after
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Heading towards Laver Hotel
“Where is the location?” Ramon asked.“Laver Hotel. I think it's almost time” Caroline replied.“Yes, it is. I will get my men. Also, Whitman will be here soon” Ramon replied and quickly swiped out his phone. After surfing through for a few seconds, the sounds of footsteps started approaching.Towards the door, ten men in suits stormed the place and went down on their knees in the presence of Ramon.“We came as soon as we received your text” among them, Lucas spoke.“Good. Now get the car ready. We are going to tail Caroline as she is heading towards Laver Hotel” Ramon said.“Right on it sir” Lucas stood up and ordered his men to do just as they were told. He could have gone alone with them, but Ramon called him back.“You wait… you are going to help Caroline find a taxi and also carry down the cash into the car” Ramon ordered.“Yes sir. Your wish is my command” Lucas replied looking so serious. Ramon had given all the details in the short text, and it was more than enough to get both
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Get that shit out of my car!
Inside a Rolls-Royce, Ramon sat just beside his men after ordering them to prepare their guns and wait for a signal from Caroline. Though he told her he was going to lie low, he changed his mind. He wouldn't make a mistake to let the man who abducted Harrison go away. Even if the exchange goes successfully, he had sworn to make whosoever it was, pay for what he had done. It would be inevitable to run away from his wrath. He would make sure of that.Ring! Ring!The chip he put in his ears formed a connection with that of Caroline, and her voice came through. Ramon quickly signaled his men to accelerate faster while he listened to what she had to say.“Hello, are you there?” Caroline said, trying to test if the chip was connected and was going to convey her message.“Yes, I am here. Is it a trick? Do you need me to send in my men?” Ramon said restlessly.“No! It's the cab man. He is refusing to drive into the VIP section where I will meet the man” Caroline complained.“Wait what? How d
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Who lent you the money?
Boom! The cab man who was speedily driving away from everything, as soon as he was outside the hotel, a few meters away, the car blew up. The massive explosion resonated the place as fire spread out leaving the car burnt to ashes.“What the heck is that?” Ramon jumped to his feet after witnessing what just happened. He was watching from a long distance with his men waiting for the right time to lunge an attack when everything turned chaotic.The cab man blew up, and it has to be that the mastermind behind this was the same person who was holding Harrison hostage.“Did he do that to cover his traces or what? That man was innocent” Lucas grunted.“This is becoming dangerous. I hate to think that Caroline is in danger now. We have to spread out and jump in” Ramon said.“I swear to god, I am going to kill that man for doing all this. What the heck?” Lucas grumbled. He was still feeling angry about what happened, as he was the same person who threatened the man, forcing him into the VIP s
Hidden Fortune’s Heir You are working with Ramon?
Caroline was frozen in shock by how quickly the man was able to figure out she was having a chip in her ear. It was so tiny that it fit right inside her earbud, yet this man could see it.The man used his fingers to drag it out and placed it in his palm, then brought it to her eyes.“You are working with Ramon?” The man jumped to a conclusion after examining the chip and figuring out whom it must be from.Instantly, Caroline almost jumped to her feet as all that she and Ramon planned would go to waste. None of it would happen and who knows, it must have worsened the situation she was in.She could tell as the frown etched on the man's face had gone deeper, and his aura was terrifying enough.“Answer my question, woman, or else I will put a bullet into your skull” the man growled.“Yes, he lent me the money, so I can save my husband” Caroline quickly said, and the man turned offensive. He grabbed her by the neck and started choking her. The worst of the situation was that he had a smil
Hidden Fortune’s Heir The text
“What do I want? I want you to hand over that woman to me and when I am out of here safely, I will let her go” the man said, smiling. After sweating profusely for a long time, he was now calm, seeming to have the situation under control.Caroline, who heard this, shivered in fright. No words could come out of her mouth as all she could do was hide behind Lucas to save herself.“What the heck are you saying? You want us to give her to you?” Lucas picked offense.“Yes. I can't guarantee you guys will let me go, so it's better to take preventive measures. The moment I am out of here, I will let her go!” the man replied.“How sure can we be that you won't just kidnap her anyway? And how about Harrison? How sure can we be that you will let him go too?” Ramon asked.The situation was turning complicated and both sides were not ready to back down for the other. Each side thought the other was trying to use the opportunity to advantage, making things worse.From Ramon's perspective, he figure

The end
“You must have thought you were way too smart to be dealt with. You got me so bad that I thought I was done for. I have never faced an opponent like you and for that, I’ll give you a ten. You are damn good!” Harrison said with a hint of mockery in his tone and Edward became pissed.However, he tried to think about what went wrong to make his plan fail and how it was so hard for him to figure out what was going on. In a thousand years, he would never expect someone as low as Ramon to be able to exceed him in intellectual strategy.“What? Don’t tell me you are spacing out at such times. And why weren’t you able to figure out what was going on? I mean, you have cameras watching, don't you?” Harrison said sarcastically.Edward felt pressured and it felt like the right time for Harrison to make it harder on him. After all, Harrison suffered the same fate earlier.“How did I not figure this out?” Edward finally said, scolding himself.“Because you are so dumb to notice.” Harrison fired at h

A miscalculated plan
Being indoors for a long while had made their senses a bit shaken off and when they had to adjust to a sudden brightness, they couldn’t help but blink their eyes multiple times.Everyone was shocked to see someone had walked into a room. An unknown someone they didn’t know but were so desperate to see his face, yet their sight was failing to adjust to the light.However, after the figure spoke, every single effect of the sudden brightness was washed off and replaced with curiosity.Starting from the leg, everyone scanned the figure from the toe, slowly heading to his face. When they arrived at the finish point, they all nearly fell on their backs.“Ramon?” Everyone yelled seemingly as though they had seen a ghost. It had to be a ghost right, or maybe their senses were playing tricks on them? They just couldn’t figure it out as their jaws were wide open, almost dropping to the floor.“Jesus Christ! What the hell is this?” Edward yelled, shaking his head from side to side to see if ever

Boom!
Back inside the small cabin in the rural area.Edward and the others were seated on the couch watching the Television. They weren’t watching the news but something else. There were some wireless connected cameras fixed in some certain place while the television displayed each of those scenes that happened in each place Furthermore, there was a remote control in Edward’s hand, and he was able to make each scene that was showing in a mini spot on the screen occupy the whole screen, so everyone could have their view of what was happening.Right there, on the screen, it was showing that Harrison just walked into the hospital ward. Not only could Edward and the others watch what was going on, but they were able to hear the conversation that was going on.Meanwhile, Larry who was seated at the far end of the room was enjoying the show the most since he was the one who delivered the flower directly to her. He played his part so well that she was unable to recognize him. Of course, he was pu

Strange flowers
“Linda right?” Caroline asked, and the delivery man nodded at her before handing the flowers to her. She extended her hand and grabbed the vase. It was such a perfect piece as it had an ancient drawing sculptured on it. The material looked like glass, yet it was made of wood. The way it was polished alone was unique and must be a very costly piece.At once glance, Caroline took notice of it but what she was more invested about was how nice the flowers were. She couldn't resist the urge to dip her nose into it and allow the fragrance to waft into her nostrils.Bang!Just then the door was pushed open and Lucas pushed his head in. The moment he saw her with flowers he was shocked as he knew it wasn't there before and it wasn't like he saw anyone bring it in.That was when Caroline pulled out of the enjoyable feeling she was in. Her mind ran back to the lad who brought the flowers, and she wanted to thank him but after looking she noticed he was nowhere to be found. Rather, there was Lu

An apology
“Hello sis, how are you doing?” Linda's voice rang through the phone as soon as the call was picked up, and the receiver was left in shock. It took a while and there was no response. Nervously, Linda peeked glances at the phone to see if it was disconnected, but it wasn't.“Caroline? Are you there?” She called out again before a reply came through.“What do you want?” Caroline replied seemingly disgusted. “Are you calling to make more trouble? Remember I don't have that time at the moment, please.” She concluded and wanted to end the call when Linda spoke.“I am sorry.” She said and shockingly, Caroline couldn't bring herself to hang up. The words she just heard were too good to be true, yet it didn't feel like she was dreaming.Linda just apologized? Caroline started doubting her senses. She was unable to let herself fall for such a trap like before. She had witnessed too much and it was energy draining. Her stepmother pointed a gun at her and would have killed her if not for a mira

The callers intention
“Shit! The police department?” Whitman murmured the words out, as he would rather not be noticed by the caller. Moreover, everyone had their guard up thinking the place was surrounded by the police.There wasn’t any siren sound or any movement, so it must be an unnoticeable operation, right? Those were the thoughts that were running inside their heads as quickly Larry and Raymond took a peep at the window but there was no one outside.They felt a sigh of relief, but that didn’t quench their suspicion. They knew not to let their guard down. Never.“Yes, who am I speaking with?” Edward replied trying hard to keep his composure. He suddenly looked calm and collected like he wasn’t the same person who was nervous not long ago.Already he had speculated that whoever it was, it had to be someone who knew him. The number was private and after picking up, the caller said he was from the police department.After realizing all this, Edward wanted to laugh out loud, but he chose to play along fi

Stand down
“What’s the meaning of this? Why are you pointing a gun at my head?” Whitman was shocked by the turn of events. He didn’t expect them to come to his house and threaten him.“You are his ally ain’t you? I’ve seen you a couple of times with that brat called Harrison. Who knows, maybe you are here working for him undercover.” Larry spits his suspicion while Raymond nods his head in support.“Stand down!” Edward snapped but was being ignored. “I said bring the gun down!” He said again and yet no one paid a listening ear to him.“It’s the opposite. I am working with Edward here to bring Harrison down.” Whitman explained.“What? Don’t be shitting me. You are the same person who gave out our hideout to Harrison, and you want us to believe you? You should talk fast before I put four bullets into your thick skull!” Larry threatened.The look on his face was so cold, signifying his threats wasn’t a bluff. Already, he had adjusted the gun and had his finger wrapped around the trigger button. Any

Loyal to the young master
The tension became hot and it felt like air was sucked out of their lungs leaving them dry and vulnerable. That should be the time when they should bow their heads and beg for forgiveness, but the men didn’t look like they would.Though they were shocked by his words, there was no trace of fear radiating off them. It felt like they had gradually made up their minds to accept death.Noticing this, Whitman was quite stunned. He knew their loyalty was as tough as a rock, but in the face of death, anyone was supposed to shiver.Smiling, he pulled out a gun and cracked it, then pointed it at one of them.“Swear loyalty to me and I will spare your life.” He said instead as the thought of using them against Harrison would seem befitting to him.“Tch!” All the men spat at his face at once as though they were all in sync with each other. Their eyes were stern as they held nothing but disgust. If not for the fact that they were being tied, they would have lunged at him by now.“Wrap things up
