Once Despised, Bastard Billionaire Chapter 020- The Urgent Call
Chapter 020-Logan's words were suddenly drowned out by the jarring ring of the telephone on the office table. Without hesitation, he sprang into action, racing to the office to answer the call."Hello, this is the reception. Am I speaking with someone on the top floor?" the caller asked."Katherine, is that you?" Logan inquired eagerly."It is Katherine Li on the line, I really need to talk to Mr. Logan. There's someone here to see him," said the urgent voice on the phone."Yeah, you're speaking with me," Logan responded confidently."Who on earth could it be? I didn't inform anyone of my whereabouts," Logan pondered with a furrowed brow."Lieutenant Tempête wants to have a word with you," Katherine said, breaking his reverie."Ah, Tempête! Put him through.""Apologies for the interruption, my lord. I must speak with you immediately; it's very urgent," Tempête conveyed."Sure, feel free to proceed.""Unfortunately, this matter isn't suitable for a phone conversation.""Sure, you're f

Chapter 021- The Aim to Stop Eliza Indeed, Diane's mother, Madame Eliza, is capable of killing Grandpa Dom before he gets to sign the document, making her the oldest member of the Reed family alive."Wow, Mother, I never thought of that," Logan exclaimed. "Tempête, you need to leave for home right away and keep a close watch on Eliza. She's even more dangerous than we realized.""She might have already overheard the Heiress speaking to you, Mr. Tempête," Cody interjected."Exactly, hurry up, Hulk'ee. We can't let that wicked woman take over my husband's property!" Madame said, determinedly gritting her teeth."And don't forget to mention the food and supplies!" Cody groaned as his stomach rumbled."Don't worry, they'll bring them in no time," Tempête confirmed as he made his way to leave."I need to check something on the ground floor too," Logan said as he followed Tempête out."Don't stay out there too long, Son. You know you shouldn't be walking alone now!" Madame Amelia yelled be

Chapter 022- Brawl at Lutherwheels Logan looked around, expecting to see a security guard, but to his surprise, there wasn't a single one in sight."Is anybody here?" Logan called out, but there was no response."How can a place this big not have a security guard?" he muttered to himself as he pushed open the barricade doors.Logan stepped into the surroundings, with the showroom in his sight. As he moved closer, a sudden yell from behind made him pause."Hey, stop! Help! We have an intruder on the premises. Where do you think you're going?" Turning around, Logan was startled to see a middle-aged man swiftly advancing towards him with a baton in hand – the security guard of Lutherwheels.Before Logan could utter a word, the guard was upon him, swinging the baton. Logan managed to dodge the blow and grappled with the guard for control of the weapon."Lunatic!" spat the guard. "How did you breach our security? You must have escaped from the asylum down the road."Logan realized that t

Chapter 023- $500 million dollars at once!''It's not for sale, sir, period,'' Helen stated firmly, ready to walk out on Logan. But then a voice pierced through the room."Are you serious, Helen Alderweird?" Yvonne exclaimed as she swept into the showroom."I mean, you have the looks, but come on, we need some brains too! Why are you holding back on selling that car?''Wendell was keeping his father's corrupt actions a secret from his fiancée, Yvonne, so she had no idea that the car was hidden and not actually up for sale."Why are you so insistent on not selling the car, Helen? Are you under the impression that you can single-handedly make decisions for this company?" Yvonne snapped, clearly agitated."It's not that, ma'am, it's just..." Helen began, but then hesitated, thinking about the potential consequences of revealing the true reason in front of a stranger."Regardless of your reasons, I find them unsatisfactory," Yvonne stated, turning her attention to Logan."Once again, I ap

Logan asked, determination etched across his face."Sure thing, sir," Rowe replied eagerly."Get in the driver's seat and drive to where they are. I want you to park behind them specifically," Logan said as he settled in the passenger side of the car."Oh, I see what you're up to. Like something out of the movies, huh? The charismatic billionaire trying to impress his crush!" Rowe chuckled, but Logan shot him a stern look."I've never seen someone so nonchalant, especially at your age. Just do as I say, okay?" Logan said, his tone serious."Sorry, boss," Rowe said, jumping into the plush BMW. He started the car and made a swift u-turn towards Zora and the man."I can't believe Zora is moving on so quickly after the drama with her siblings. It's like she never cared. But I'll prove her wrong," Logan smiled to himself as he contemplated his next move.At the Asherkine Ornamental Gallery, Zora Bennett an

Chapter 025- Saving Grandfather's Life"And what, mother? You need to tell me! I'm getting really scared here!" Logan pressed.Madame Amelia gasped in disbelief. "The TV presenter just reported that the Reed estate is on fire!"Logan's eyes widened in shock. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he asked, "What do you mean the Reed estate is on fire?""I couldn't believe it when I heard it either," Madame Amelia replied."I can't shake the feeling that this is no ordinary fire," Logan said, swiping the beads of sweat off his forehead. "Do you think it has to do with anyone?"Hesitating, Logan finally exclaimed, "Eliza! It could only be her. She's the only one I can think of right now.""Call Hulk'ee right away! I hope this isn't true... that woman is full of surprises," Madame Amelia urged.As Logan reached for his phone to dial Tempête, his call came in. "Hello Tempête, I hope it's not true," Logan said in a quick, urgent voice."Oh my goodness, have you heard? When I arrived at t

Chapter 026- Minutes Before Tragedy "Really? This boy now knows how to throw money around," Madame Amelia mused as she settled onto a sofa with a remote control in hand. *Alaxar Clinic* "Hey Heiress, you're still here. You should head home - there's no point in sticking around," Dr. Vanessa said, peeling off her medical gloves. Her hands were as white as snow from the glove's powder fillings. Diane felt a surge of frustration at the doctor's words, but she held her composure. "What do you mean I should go home, Doctor? I won't leave here until I see my grandfather and take him home!" She exclaimed. "Heiress Diane," Dr. Vanessa said with a mischievous grin, placing a comforting hand on Diane's shoulder. "I've already explained that you can't enter the ward right now. Your grandfather is improving, and I urge you to trust us and leave so we can continue our work.'' "And ain't we supposed to know what happened to him? He couldn't have just passed out without a reason," Tempête

Chapter 027- Tragedy "Who are you!? Get your hands away from me!" he yelled.Both Vanessa and Amelia stumbled back in disbelief, their hands tightening around the tray to prevent the tranquilizers from spilling."I swear, that old man must have nine lives," muttered Eliza. "Eliza!" Grandpa Dominic blinked rapidly, trying to comprehend if this was all just a dream."Can you believe it? My own daughter-in-law tried to poison me with insecticide spray," Grandpa Dominic exclaimed in shock.Before Eliza ignited the gas cooker to start the fire at the Reed estate, she cunningly sprayed Grandpa Dominic's room with insecticide, disguising it as an air freshener. She knew that Grandpa Dominic, being elderly, wouldn't be able to move quickly and intended for the insecticide to render him unconscious, potentially leading to a tragic end in the ensuing fire.''Oh, you finally get to know it's an insecticide spray and not a perfume. Anyways you're going down today….I mean, right now.'' Eliza bar

"Lord Logan's been taken away."************In the grand living room of the Reed Mansion, Diane paced back and forth, her voice rising with anger. "I swear, I’ll make sure that doctor rots in jail! How can a patient just go missing from his hospital, and he totally claims to know nothing about it?"Madame Amelia, seated on the couch, rubbed her knees in frustration. "Diane, calm down. What you did by involving the police might be a mistake. He could be innocent.""Innocent?" Diane shot back, her eyes blazing. "There's no way he doesn’t know something, mother. I’m certain he’s hiding information about Logan and Tempête’s whereabouts."Madame Amelia sighed deeply. "Instead of jumping to conclusions, we should focus on calling them. Have you tried their numbers again?"Diane paused, pulling out her phone. "I'll try Tempête's number on WhatsApp. Maybe that’ll work.""Please,

"We're on Afghanistan soil, my lord. Will you need us to come with you, sir? Lieutenant Tempête made us go through extensive training in the army and that's….""No, I don't need any of you to follow me around like I'm a toddler. Tempête will help with my needs." Logan interjected.The second pilot turned to Tempête. "Lieutenant sir, are we to wait here till you return?""Get a suitable hotel around here, you must be alert at all times," Tempête replied. Remember, we might end up being on the run and might call you to prepare the plane for flight even before we get here.""Understood, sir." The two

"I have told you who I am. Can you please release me and let me go home now?"Piero couldn't help but frown at Zora's request. "You are not going home anytime soon, dear…. Especially if I didn't give you permission to do so.""Really?" Zora hissed and sighed, as she bent her head to look at the bare floor."You are yet to tell me what business you have with Logan Reed." Piero raised a brow. "Are you helping your weak father ‘clear the way’ or what business do you have with him exactly?"Zora bit her lips at Piero referring to her father as weak.Piero would shoot her if she dared to complain and she had no choice but to vent her anger on her innocent lips."I'm Zora, his wife.

His chest rose and fell weakly, each breath seeming more strained than the last.Yvonne leaned over him, her fingers pressing against his neck. Her eyes widened with alarm."His pulse is getting weaker," she said sharply, her voice cutting through the quiet.She turned to the doctor, her expression hard. "Why is the check-up taking so long? Start the treatment now! Are you trying to let him die by not doing anything?"Madame Amelia, standing by the bed, clenched her fists, her eyes brimming with tears."Doctor, my son is in great discomfort! Why are you delaying? Do you want him to die before my very eyes?" she demanded, her voice trembling with both anger and despair.Diane stood rigid, her jaw tight with suppressed rage. "If my brother dies," she hissed, her tone low and dangerous, "everyone involved will pay for it… starting with you, doct

''Goodnight, Logan,'' she whispered, her voice cold and final.''The dart flew through the air with a soft ''whoosh'' before landing with a sharp ''thud'' on Logan's shoulder.Logan fell on his back and yelled out a scream as he clutched his shoulder in agony. ''My arm! Please remove this thing!'' He cried.Madame Amelia, Diane and Yvonne all tried to draw out the dart and also persuaded him to calm down.''Please stay still, Logan! Otherwise, we might not be able to pull it out before your body absorbs all the content.'' Yvonne implored as she tried to pull out the darts.''You don't have to speak to him that way, he's in great pain.'' Diane retorted at Yvonne, feeling jealous of not being removing the darts.Yvonne was offended at Diane's unnecessary complaints as she shot back. ''What way? Did I yell at him?''

He doesn't deserve to be in the streets.'' The guard nodded briskly and stepped forward to secure the man. Logan exhaled, trying teady himself as Diane pulled him aside. ''Are you okay?'' Logan ran a hand through his hair, his voice filled with emotion. ''No, I’m not okay. I can’t stand perverts like that. If I hadn’t seen him…'' Diane placed a hand on his shoulder. ''I know, brother. But you did the right thing. Let the police handle it now.'' Logan looked back one last time as the security guards dragged the candy vendor toward a waiting car. Suddenly, a woman stormed into the scene, dragging the little girl by the arm. Her eyes blazed with anger, and her grip was unrelenting. Logan felt his stomach tighten as he observed the harsh way she treated the child. He moved toward them, concern etched on his fac

"My victim is Logan... my husband, the one I’m married to!" she declared.“What?” Bradley was taken aback. “You've still not forgotten about that guy. He doesn't care you, Zora.”“He forgot me but I'm not ready to forget about him. I'm married to him and he remains my husband.” Diane insisted as she kept admiring the gun.Bradley drew closer as he looked into Diane’s eyes. “But I do care about you, Zora. Why exactly are you not getting that…” “What exactly am I not getting, Bradley. Did I ask you for help or affection? Did I ask you to care about me?” Diane declaimed.“Zora, it's not like that,” Bradley murmured, moving closer as his hand reached out towards her arm.In a swift, instinctive motion, Zora swatted his hands away and pointed the tranquilizer gun at him, her movements sharp, her desperation bubbling to the surface. “Not like what, Bradley?” Her voice dropped dangerously low as

Did he say who he was?'’Diane looked up, her tear-filled eyes locking onto Logan’s. “Yes… He said his name. He said he was El Abrham.”Logan jumped to his feet, pacing the room in frustration. “That’s insane! Why would a criminal risk introducing himself? Doesn’t that seem weird to you? He practically left a trail for anyone to find him.”Diane wiped her tears, her voice calmer now but still heavy with emotion. “I thought the same thing, Logan. I asked Mum why anyone would do that. But she said she believed it wasn’t a risk for him because… maybe because no one could dare go after him.”Logan turned sharply, narrowing his eyes at her. “What do you mean, no one could dare go after him? Who the hell is El Abrham? A ghost? A shadow? An Afghan jihad terrorist? Why would Uncle Piero make Dad negotiate a business deal with a killer?”Diane’s voice was barely above a whisper. “I don't t

It's just that you're not that observant,'' Logan replied, patting Diane on the shoulder.''Really? I'm not observant? What other things do you have to say about me? Speak it out, brother. Pour your silly mind out.'' Diane ranted, pretending to be annoyed at Logan's words remark.Logan curled his arms around Diane's neck and planted a soft peck on her robust cheeks. ''No, Diane. You're getting it all wrong. Sorry, I meant to say, you misquoted me. You didn't notice that your so-called uncle felt uneasy when he saw Soler, with us, in that state.'' Diane smirked, ''I didn't notice anything!''''He was rushing to get out of the estate. He was so scared Soler might have spilled the beans which would tarnish his image. You could see the fear on his face.'' Logan lamented, his voice straining.''I didn't
