RISE OF THE HEIRS: Getting Rid of The Traitor 209
Arthur was running along the trail barefoot when he found the food that had been dropped. Without hesitation, he quickly enjoyed the food after hiding back in the pickup truck. Who would have thought? The pickup truck would take him away from Sparks Avenue via another road that would go undetected by CCTV.Greedily, Arthur finished a packet of sandwiches in no time. It wasn't quite morning yet, but he was already starving. Slowly but surely, he who was already full, looking for something to drink. Luckily, the pickup truck stopped at a refuelling centre.Arthur finally got out of the car and went to the toilet to change his clothes. It was impossible for him to dress so neatly if he was living on the streets. He also brought the bag that he had been clutching tightly.Inside the men's loo, he saw some clothes hanging there. Shabby clothes that smelled even from afar of the owner's body odour.As nauseating and disgusting as it was, Arthur had no choice. He didn't want to be caught eas

Aland and Pete had returned safely to the Fischer family's old home after a series of questions from their testimonies on the collision, as well as the mega corruption that had been closed in the previous twenty-four hours. Aland quickly sat down on the sofa to catch up on some work that had been left undone and then signed off on all the paperwork he was supposed to have completed last night."They're going to see Shannon, aren't they?"Pete's question caused Aland's attention to wander again, albeit briefly. But then, having mastered the situation, Aland simply nodded and resumed his work."Of course they will, Pete. Shannon's testimony is the most key."Pete reached for the glass of water on the dining table and sat down, though not at the same table. He stared out the large dining-room window with a wide-eyed stare."I didn't mean Allen and Frey. It's Arthur and Camellia. They will definitely come soon. They have a bag of money. They have a big grudge. You've prepared yourself, hu

Immediately, Frey contacted Allen through the walkie talkie. While running to follow where Aland was chasing with one leg in pain, he kept asking Phil to forget about the girl quickly."Forget her, Allen! That's not Camellia! Aland found them! He ran after Arthur, who went southeast! My team followed Lia, who went southwest! Do you hear me? Divide your team in two and surround from opposite directions right now!"Without waiting for an answer, Frey immediately cut the connection. He followed where Aland kept running towards a park that was full of people. To his surprise, he saw Aland stop running with his breath catching."What's wrong? Where is he?" Frey asked Aland who was trying to scan the crowd, noting all the visitors in order to find Arthur's whereabouts who had returned to mingle in the crowd.Aland shook his head slowly. He was still trying to get Arthur's indecipherable whereabouts, but unfortunately, he no longer saw the same signs."Most likely, he's wearing a lot of clot

"Alright, I'll be there now."Aland had just finished all of his work at both JF Groups and the mega-corruption-ridden Reynolds Industries in one sitting in his office. In a hurry, he made his way to the lift, and then down to the ground floor to head to the parking space where his car was.Without hesitation, Aland drove off, cutting through the deserted city streets in the middle of the day. Quickly, he passed by each building without thinking again about Arthur's and Camellia's whereabouts.Unfortunately, there was a car that had been following Aland's car ever since he first left JF Groups. Their grins were horrifying, especially when Aland's car could be easily overtaken."I thought he was too clever to hide his wife. But look at him now. He'll even be our guide to his young pregnant wife."Arthur nodded, confirming. Then glanced at the carry-on bag placed in the rear cabin."There's still plenty of money left, Lia. What if, after this, we steal Shannon'

"Do you think I'm the foolish one, huh?"Lia immediately followed Aland's car, even from a distance. She didn't want to lose another chance after escaping the trap set by Aland. Although inevitably, she had to risk Arthur's existence for her safety.While looking at the map in her hand, she tried to surmise where Aland would lead. Throughout the night, she had tried to find Shannon at the old Fischer home, as well as the new one, but she could not find her there.There was no other way but to follow Aland to find the whereabouts of the young pregnant step-sister. At a below-average speed, she kept Aland's car within eyesight. Unfortunately, Aland's car was not heading towards the hospital area as she had expected."Where exactly did he hide her?"Suddenly, she remembered Arthur's request the night before. She remembered every detail of the sentence Arthur had given her when Arthur contacted her before the accident."Did you hear me? Come and help us surround

"I'm fine, and it will still be fine to see you and Junior Shannon. Really am."Shannon remained silent, waiting for Aland's unspoken promise. Her gaze was sharp enough, as if to remind him to keep his promise no matter what, to make Aland blush."Okay, I promise. Are you happy now?"Shannon nodded slowly with a friendly smile. She hugged Aland's right arm so that she could express her delayed indulgence."Since we promised, can we go home now, Aland? I'm really tired of staying here all day long. I wanted to call Pete and ask how he was doing, but Cedric told me not to."Aland got up slowly and grasped Shannon's hand tightly. "Want to go out for dinner?"Suddenly, Shannon nodded quickly. She got up and hugged Aland's arm tightly. She followed him out of the room without changing her clothes."Are you taking me to a hotel? Or dinner at a restaurant with a beautiful view? Or are we going to eat in front of a sandy beach with the sound of waves crashing?"

Aland and Shannon had just finished enjoying a lovely dinner on the rooftop with the breeze when suddenly there was a noise from below. Instead of going down and checking, Aland looked over the guardrail to see what was going on.Unfortunately, Aland's eyes went wide when he realised that his first line of security guards was lying helpless. The few people who saw it occasionally contacted the police to perform the first treatment.Aland swallowed hard. He slowly reached for his phone while calming his heart, that was beating faster. It was not fear that he felt, but worry that something would happen to his wife and son. He approached Shannon quietly, then tried to remain calm while sending a warning message to Joe and Cedric on guard.Surprisingly, he got no response. Still anxious, Aland couldn't help but call Frey for help. Of course, after he slightly moved away from the romantic dining table provided by Cedric earlier."I think Lia found us, Mr Frey. Can you sen

"No! You're lying! Tell me you're lying, Shannon! You just wanna punish me! Tell me you don't really know everything!"Lia was led up the locked stairs after Shannon was taken down in the lift. Throughout the journey, Lia continued to cry, recalling all of her fond memories with Shannon as a child.With her hands cuffed behind her back, Lia was taken downstairs by Frey and Allen. Meanwhile, Shannon was immediately taken to the nearest hospital for treatment with Aland, who continued to cry bitterly."You'll be fine, hun. Nothing will happen to you. You know that, don't you?"Shannon's increasingly pale face could only nod slowly. She touched Aland's face, which had not stopped crying even though she was no longer in pain."I'm fine, Aland. I'm no longer in pain. It's just that I'm sleepy. Really sleepy. I can't stand anymore."The nurse accompanying Shannon tried to keep her talking."Mrs Fischer, it only takes two minutes again to get to the hospital. Pl
