Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 99. Goodbye, Montana!
Oliver takes me to a side before we could part ways.“Look, I’m not even pretending to know what’s going on in that brain of yours,” he starts to gripe, and I raise my hand in a silencing motion.“Look, Oliver,” I tell him, not wanting to fight with the man again, not when I was just about ship out of here. I might not come back here for a long time from now, and I may not meet Oliver again. I did not want to leave here on bad terms. “I know that you don’t have much faith in me, but this is not a decision I’m taking lightly. You have to trust me when I say that even though you don’t, I know what I’m doing. Believe it or not, I’m not an idiot. I’ve had an extensive education in business, and I’m utilizing it for the betterment of my father’s company, which would one day be my own company if my father has his way. And guess what, no more than six months ago, I would’ve loathed it. But now, I don’t. I’m actually looking forward to it. And these things, these foolhardy schemes as you put
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 100. I know just the man!
We watch from the wide windows of the train as the landscape that had homed us for the past few weeks, and I feel a strange sense of relief, knowing that we were bound for home. Although it was so sudden, Coraline looks happy as well.“It was great while it lasted except for a few parts,” suddenly, she said, her chin resting on her hand as she gazed out at the mountains, “but I’m glad we’re going home. I missed my parents.”“Oh,” I reply intelligently. And then I remember the package I’d snatched from the truck I’d taken to the town right before everything had gone to shit. I did not get to wrap it up as I had planned, but I will have to do without that now.Digging in my messenger bag, I fish out the package and hand it over to Coraline, who peers at it curiously with a bit of confusion.“What’s that?”“It’s something I got for you when I went to town,” I reply, trying not to blush at giving my best friend a gift. And no, I am not thinking about what those eco-conservationists said a
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 101. SPE
After breakfast, Gerald takes me to a skyscraper right in the middle of the city.“So, is this where the lawyer’s office is, or are we running some sort of an errand before meeting them?”“The former.”I whistle low, taking in the sleek and expensive-looking interior design of the building, the modern architectural style, and the sharply dressed people who are buzzing about holding the latest technological pieces in their hands, and realize that this is no building is nothing ordinary. People who work here must be pretty loaded, given how almost every city headquarters of some famous brands, local as well as international, are present. I even see a floor dedicated to my father’s own company.“Why is there a floor for Greyson Consolidated when we are literally based on Clandestine city?” I question, curious.Gerald shoots me a sly smile, “well, it’s because this building is owned by your father’s company, young master.”I can’t help but raise a brow at him, “seriously?”“Of course. I w
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 102. Cup of Tea
We are ushered into a very spacious office by the perky assistant, and asked to take seats until the man, Erikkson, arrives. Apparently, Erikkson is making himself a ‘cup of tea’ at the moment in the little kitchenette of the office.“Huh,” I mutter, “I always thought these lawyer types had assistants to these things for them.”“Not Erikkson,” grins Gerald, “when it comes to his ‘tea’, that man trusts no one with it.”I do not know why, but everyone keeps stressing the word ‘tea’ in relation to this Erikkson dude. I think it might be an inside joke of sorts. It’s more than clear that Gerald is familiar enough with these people to come barging into the office to meet the man without even having a prior appointment as well as bringing someone else with him, so I don’t ask him about it. I don’t want to annoy Gerald with my questions the first day I’m back in the city.“I see,” I reply, and take it upon myself to look around the office where a shocking amount of newspaper articles has bee
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 103. Confirmed Deal!
Rick Erikkson is more than thrilled to take our case.“It’s no ‘Poker night serial Killer’,” he says, referring to one of his most famous cases after I finish gaping at him for not just considering, but actually agreeing to take the case after listening to my recount, “but I haven’t really had a case relating to environmental conservation in a long time.”“But you’ve done one before, right?” I as.“Yeah. During the first days in my career, there was a case about illegal waste material dumping in natural water bodies,” he recounts, “I was only a very young lawyer then, hardly experienced. But it ended in a win, of course. I got recruited to this firm after that case as well.”“Oh?” I’m surprised to hear that. “Well, guess this will be an easy job for you.”“You can never be too sure, and to be honest, I would like it to be harder, but that’s just me,” he throws a wink at us, “so, we need some basic rules here. You tell me that these guys you’re trying to help set fire to a structure in
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 104. Shit!
“Well,” I muse, somewhat dazedly, “I don’t think I’ve ever met someone like that.” Gerald smiles knowingly, “Mr. Erikkson does have that effect on people.” “You mean he’s like a human hurricane to everyone he meets?” “That would be an apt descriptor for him, yes,” he nods, “Erikkson always had far more energy than one man should since the day I met him. He flirts with anything on two legs and legal age, turns his charm up to the maximum with the blink of an eye, and then astounds you with his intelligence and cunning wit the next. I have no idea how he keeps all that restraint under a respectable demeanor the moment he is in court. Mind you, his tongue will be sharp as ever, but he would have this air of absolute authority over him and believe me when I say that man does not have enemies in judges.” “I’m guessing that this is not a common feat for lawyers?” “No, it isn’t. You got no idea how utterly petty some judges could be, but never with Richard Erikkson. They eat right out of
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 105. Accuser
“It’s not what it looks like!” I screech, thrusting my hands in front of me desperately in order to somehow reverse this misunderstanding, “I swear. I’m just taking care of something!”Apparently, that is the bad thing to say, because the man’s eyes widen, and an utterly horrified expression dawns on his face, and I expect him to clutch his imaginary pearls any second now. He shuffles back towards the door before gasping, “oh, God, have you no decency at all? This is a public building, sir, and you’re in a place where anyone can just wander in.” And then he growls, looking mad, “Are you one of those freaks who actually get off on people walking in on you? Is this it? Did you make me an unwilling participant in your sick fantasy?!”“Jesus Christ, man, you have some imagination,” I can’t help but say because what? Who the hell jumps to that conclusion first when he stumbles across a half-naked man in a bathroom? “And for the record, no! Of course not, I wasn't doing anything sexual!”“Y
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 106. Never Run into him.
After Gerald came to my rescue, the security guards declared that the incident was of no importance. The man who had burst in was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I disagree with this; he was just being a jerk for the sake of it. But that’s not something you can directly say, especially when you’re trying to maintain a ‘better than thou’ air around you and attempting to get the hell out of an unsavory situation. To be honest, I did not even want to continue defending my innocence after Gerald came, I just wanted to stop looking at the man’s face.The man was not happy of course, even when we exited the washrooms, he was trailing us, accusing me of trying to get away from my ‘wrong doings’ until finally, Gerald had had enough and threatened to call in the police for harassment charges if he didn’t let go.“Do you know who this is?” Gerald had asked him, tone icy and even as he held the other man’s eyes in a glare. He pointed at me, “his name is Jace. Jace Greyson.”The other man’s
