Masked Bilionaire Heir Chapter 84: Isabel's sister-in-law.
The Orphanage,Isabel stepped out of the taxi and looked at the scene before her.Mozzafiato Orphanage was the largest orphanage in the country, with a massive investment, luxurious facilities, and the oldest, over a hundred years old. Effective communication strategies were essential to achieve such success and an extraordinary reputation. And the executive director of the orphanage happened to be Isabel's sister-in-law.Ember Lewis, Isabel's sister-in-law. She and Isabel's brother were fifteen years apart, so Ember came to her house quite early, even before Isabel went to college and moved out. Since their house was spacious, and their parents were elderly, Isabel's brother and sister-in-law didn't choose to live separately and stayed together in the same place. Although the family was considered significant, they always managed to get along harmoniously. Isabel's parents were also quite traditional, so they always wanted every family member to gather for dinner each evening. There
Masked Bilionaire Heir Chapter 85: And that car belongs to Henry.
Seeing Isabel hesitantly, Ember sighed and placed her hand on the hand resting on Isabel's thigh."Isabel, you must remember that the higher your position and the more important the task you undertake, the more you need decisiveness and sometimes ruthlessness. Hesitation and soft-heartedness are weaknesses others can exploit to gain power over you. Although I don't want to say this, older people in any profession are usually calmer and have a certain level of ruthlessness because they have witnessed even more terrifying things. So, Isabel, be courageous. If you keep hesitating and feeling sorry for others, you will be the one to be pitied in the future."Ember's words made Isabel tremble. Yes, she was right. This was something she had been struggling with. Isabel knew that the leaders she admired, the positions she aspired to, and the people currently sitting in those positions might have dark sides that she wouldn't want to face or acknowledge. But no matter how painful the truth mig

Henry had meticulously planned this operation, calculating every detail to ensure his success. But the result before him felt like a slap in the face, a severe blow.In truth, Henry wasn't a fool. He had done his research and knew that the construction materials and machinery Alex used were imported from abroad. If they were destroyed, it would not only result in significant economic losses but also take considerable time to import them again. Additionally, the land itself would need time to recover. Yet, Alex managed to accomplish everything in such a short time. The progress of the shopping center even seemed to be faster than expected, according to Henry's observations.How could this happen?He stared at the scene before him, feeling anger and frustration rising within him like a ferocious and terrifying storm. He clenched his fist, sure there was a problem in this situation, convinced there was a problem!Henry seemed to go mad, and something made him see red—the betrayal of the

Henry was furious, but at the same time, he was also filled with fear. He felt helpless, like a helpless animal being lifted, devoid of resistance. Henry couldn't believe Tom Holland would dare to do such a thing. It was indeed a rebellion. He wanted to rebel against him!"What... what do you want?" Henry asked, his voice trembling.Seeing Henry's seemingly frightened attitude, Tom Holland raised an eyebrow."I warned you before. Who do you think you are to bully others? Forget about trampling over us!" Tom Holland said.Henry was furious. He didn't want to submit to Tom Holland, but he tried to calm himself down. Now was not the time to be rash. He was currently in a passive position, while Tom Holland held the upper hand. If Henry continued to argue and refused to submit, he didn't know what Tom Holland would do. And, of course, Henry would never allow that to happen. The only way was to regain control and make Tom Holland drop his guard. Then he could do whatever needed to be done.
Masked Bilionaire Heir Chapter 88: He was most interested in a fragile child with a petite figure
Henry shouted, began to speculate maliciously; Tom Holland heard it with great disdain; he pressed Henry's head down a little more, then said:"He is doing it, and he is doing it through his everyday actions. What about you? You can only promise. I used to trust you even though you had nothing but words at that time. You don't know, that's right, those who make money on other people's suffering can't understand, the people in our slums, those who have no money, the thing we cherish the most, is also essential. The most important thing is trust. And we gave it to you, but you treat it like trash. How long are you going to keep us waiting? You are still young, and your youth is still long, but here are people who are already old; they can't wait; they have spent every last, most precious day of their life looking forward to you. But what do you give them? Despair to despair.Moreover, you are not really what you are drawing for us. You are petty and selfish. You are not nice, and even I
Masked Bilionaire Heir Chapter 89: So, during lunch break, there won't be anyone guarding it, and you can go in
If he could stop or demolish Alex's unfinished construction, everything would be resolved. And if it were related to the children, who were the children of this slum, then both sides would turn against each other. Henry could stand aside and watch the fun, waiting for when rogues fall out, then honest men come on their own. They would kill each other and fight without Henry needing to intervene or do anything. By that time, surely no one would want the other side to benefit, whether Alex or the people in the slum.Indeed, they would quickly forget, or by that time, when the people in the slum no longer supported Alex, he could manipulate them again, go against any evidence Alex presented. Then, later on, he would teach those traitorous scoundrels a lesson for daring to betray him.Thinking so, Henry stopped the car and got out. Seeing him suddenly get out, the group of children looked at him with fear and wary expressions. The older ones stood before, the younger ones, crowding togeth
Masked Bilionaire Heir Chapter 90: She said we can't borrow a child
The children looked at each other, full of suspicion, and Henry, seeing this, attacked the stronghold in their hearts:"If you are still afraid, just let me lead; I'll be back in a few days; if you see this car, it's me, okay."Initially, the children were skeptical. They needed to know if Henry's words were valid because they were not stupid; they knew the construction site was where they couldn't go in and out. But now, hearing him say that, they also believe and feel more secure; thinking about the amount of money they earned after picking up the scraps in it, they were happy and excited; with that money, at least Their parents may have less trouble this summer."Yes." The children said in unison.And Henry now, seeing that he had tricked these children, did not want to linger any longer or already wanted to leave for a long time. Henry looked friendly and patted the children's heads, then said:"Now I still have a job at the company; I'll go first; you guys remember to take care o
Masked Bilionaire Heir Chapter 91: But Alex stared for a while and still couldn't recognize who they were.
After hearing that, Alex felt that this approach was indeed cruel. But apart from this method, there was no other way. He had the same thoughts as Isabel earlier. Alex didn't want to do something so heartless.At that moment, he sighed. "It's true; it's not heartless..."Isabel understood his thoughts. A kind-hearted person would find this situation difficult and hard to handle. They would have to do this to a child... for their happiness, and then take it away."Alex..." Isabel placed her hand on his, speaking gently. "I know what you're thinking, but this isn't much different compared to 'borrowing' a child from an orphanage. They're just children, very innocent and unaware of deeper issues. And we can't tell them the truth. After completing this, we can try to make it up to them, find them a new adoptive family or support, and provide for the child until they go to college, an adoption-like arrangement without our presence.Upon reflection, Alex realized that his thinking was too s

Chapter 150: The end!
After everything was settled, Alex brought immense joy to the hospital where Isabel was resting. From now on, Cherry had become his child, a member of this small family, and now he only needed one more vital piece to have a perfect family. His future wife lay right here.Alex arrived at the hospital in the middle of the night, and Isabel’s room was already empty. Her family had left; they were all exhausted after days of tense waiting at the hospital. That gave him the opportunity to have some private time with Isabel. He approached her bedside, gently caressing her smooth cheek, and his eyes became moist.It was uncertain whether it was because the act of pretending to be a family for these days was too real or if it was the love that had been quietly growing over the years, but Alex felt his emotions surging intensely. It seemed like within his heart, emotions were erupting in waves, encompassing deep longing and painful sorrow. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be here, and the p
Chapter 149: Why would this person come here in person?
The news of Isabel’s injury had spread to the surrounding people. It wasn’t just Isabel’s parents; it included the Locke family, Alex’s relatives, and even the residents of the impoverished neighborhood.Because they couldn’t reach Isabel, they sent flowers, gifts, words of encouragement, and even money to Alex. Alex expressed they didn’t need to send these things; he could easily handle Isabel’s medical bills.However, it wasn’t just about the material support; it was also about the gratitude of all the people he had helped.A few nights later, Alex received a roughly designed invitation card to a party in the slum area.Unwillingly, these people were here to survive, and yet they organized a party to thank him. Alex didn’t really want to go, but after some thought, he realized he was the guest of honor at this party, and he couldn’t disappoint them. Alex dressed neatly for the occasion and tried to boost his spirits before visiting Isabel in the hospital. He sat by her side for a wh
Chapter 148: Death penalty!
After her encounter with Henry, who had threatened and ridiculed her about the Forest Corporation, Jessica appeared supremely confident on the surface, trusting her beloved Alex implicitly. However, deep down, she was extremely concerned.Since that meeting, Jessica diligently tried to gather information about Alex’s company. Finally, she realized that what Henry had said seemed to be entirely true. Jessica felt an urge to help Alex, as the dream project of his island resort was facing serious problems. Irregularities had halted the construction. With abundant resources at her disposal, Jessica was eager to assist Alex.This was also an opportunity to nurture their relationship.With a heart full of excitement, Jessica visited Alex. She dressed up a bit, as becoming the new heiress and owner of the Locke family had given her an entirely different demeanor than her previous meek self. Jessica now loved herself and exuded confidence, believing she could once again captivate Alex’s heart
Chapter 147: Stay put! You’re under arrest!
After all the exhausting work, Alex and Isabel officially gave up their assumed impoverished identities. Both of them changed into new attire and returned to Alex’s mansion. Isabel stayed with him temporarily for convenience in handling their work, and little Cherry still needed a small family.Initially, they had discussed that after finishing their tasks, they would take Cherry back to the orphanage. After all, they were both busy adults with no capability to fully care for a child. If so, leaving Cherry in the orphanage was the right choice, as she could find a new home there. They would also do their best to find suitable caregivers for her and seek a comfortable family.But after a while of living together, both Alex and Isabel developed feelings for the adorable child. They didn’t want to send Cherry back to the orphanage, but they couldn’t have her around either. In the end, they weren’t adults who could meet all the psychological needs of a child. However, if they sent Cherry
Chapter 146: In the end, everyone walked out into the light.
Rihana quickly untied Alex, ignoring Loki’s suffering nearby. Alex thanked her and grabbed a gun that was out of ammunition, directing a disdainful look at Loki. He approached and stomped on Loki’s bleeding wound, as an act of vengeance for what had just happened. Alex wasn’t one to hold back or forgive easily.“Tend to his wound. Don’t let him die,” Alex ordered, looking sternly at Rihana. Under Alex’s firm gaze, Rihana went closer to Loki, ignoring his threats and insults. She efficiently tore a piece of cloth from her own clothing, carefully covering the wound to stop the bleeding. Loki’s face turned even paler, and he could do nothing but mumble in pain.Meanwhile, the sound of approaching police sirens grew louder. Loki looked at Alex with suspicion. He couldn’t find his phone; it was no longer with him. He wondered how the police had been called. Were they in on this from the beginning? When had things spiraled so out of control?Failing to properly investigate Alex was a grave
Chapter 145: At this moment, he knew he had succeeded.
Loki doesn’t want to say much to this guy. He didn’t care about the reason anymore. All that he had investigated was enough to send this guy back to hell.Loki is sure that even if he pulled out a gun and blew his brains out, this guy wouldn’t say a word.But thinking that in the future the chairman might lose a lot of information because of this, Loki had to patiently ask a few more questions.“What is your real name? Don’t cross me. I have to spend so much time and effort because of you, be a little more reasonable, otherwise I will explode your brains.”“Even if I say it, you still can’t determine what is the truth, right? If I tell the truth, will you let me go?”“Okay, if it’s important, you’ll get out of here alive.”Alex almost burst out laughing for a moment. With that look in his eyes that only has murderous intent, who else is he trying to fool? Let him live. He is not a three-year-old child.Alex kept spinning his brain, thinking about how to get out of this situation. It w
Chapter 144: What was the goal of these individuals?
“Could you please total these items?”In the morning, at a convenience store, Alex was waving his hand to pay for some essential items, all of them ingredients for baking. He wanted to bring them home for little Cherry because she had a baking competition coming up at school, and he wanted her to practice at home.While waiting to pay, a few young men behind him were engaged in a heated discussion. He typically wouldn’t have paid much attention to the conversation of strangers, but he overheard the name Locke. Recently, they had been a hot topic of discussion everywhere. Alex waited for the cashier to prepare his bill while quietly eavesdropping.“Oh my God, three more people died at the funeral yesterday. This family is in chaos.”“Have you read those conspiracy theories and rumors online? They all claim that some underground power is involved. It seems this family has offended some terrifying figure, so they’ll be wiped out eventually.”“Say what you will, but the police still haven
Chapter 143: No one could save them now.
The night had fallen, and the members of the Locke family had quietly returned. Only Jack’s parents remained at the funeral home, standing vigil by their son’s casket. Mr. Andrew and Jessica had left early, and by the end of the day, Mr. Andrew finally felt a sense of relief. He didn’t know where his wife was, but her absence was the best outcome for all.Because of the recent pressures, Jack’s father was also exhausted from the events. He wanted to temporarily escape the stifling atmosphere of this place. However, he was reluctant to move too far, fearing that his wife might faint again. Mr. Andrew stepped out to the back of the funeral home, walking along a dark row of trees. It was past 11 o’clock, and he saw no one in this chilly, desolate forest.The unusually quiet woods made his already troubled mind even more restless. This was a resting place for many departed souls, and every rustling sound made Mr. Andrew uneasy.A funeral for two. Was this the punishment meant for the Lock
Chapter 142: Mrs. Andrew felt remorse.
Henry’s burning gaze swept over Jessica, like a hunter locking onto his prey within shooting range. It was a look that combined both passion and possessiveness, making Jessica unable to shake off the feeling that this man was truly disturbed.Because disgust stemmed from instinct, she retreated heavily from the funeral room of this grandfather and grandson’s household. She felt that what she had told Jack’s mother earlier was indeed accurate.The complete house reeked of an unsettling odor.That room, in particular, had seen countless distant relatives of the family mocking her, each taking their turn to degrade each other for entertainment, only to now act meek and change their attitudes, presenting their most humble appearances to make amends for the past wrongdoings.Outwardly, everyone’s demeanor was, of course, pleasant. Jessica had lived long enough to know who was sincere among those in the upper class. She was wary of the apparent remorse and repentance, as it all reeked stron
