“See for yourselves!" Sarah shrilled, gaining more confidence as she glared at them. People had their eyes lowered, muttering and mumbling, unable to hold her gaze. Sarah stood like a matriarch, waiting to defend Richard's honor, she wasn't going to let anyone badmouth him,Vivienne alongside Bernard who had been observing silently, Vivienne's nerves had dissipated, with head held high, she and Bernard strutted widely towards Sarah, standing in solidarity beside her as they equally glared at the officials and then turned to sneer at Harold and Andrew,“You should be ashamed of yourselves!”She spoke loudly, making sure her voice was high enough, the duo sneered at her confidence, hissing beneath their breath. Glaring at Andrew and Harold, she hissed before exclaiming and pointing to the women and the house,“Is this what you call a harem? What you gathered all of us and the media for?! Wasting our time and resources for a mere hearsay?!”Vivienne thundered, and as she spoke, her voic

Her words seemed to jolt the officials’ guilts, and they began to murmur amongst themselves, their voices rising,“We have wronged Mayor Richard”Another nodded in agreement,"He's too noble a man”"I agree. Imagine taking care of these people single-handedly, all of their needs!”As the man spoke, he shook his head in amazement,“Yet we were already crucifying him without hearing him out. I feel so ashamed" another female official muttered, glaring daggers into Harold and Andrew.“We believed these two fools who have practically done nothing for the people!" “It all must be out of spite and jealousy! They can't match Mayor Richard’s footsteps, so they'd rather soil his name”As the man was speaking, he was sneering at the duo, even hissing loudly to express his displeasure. His lips were curled as he continued watching Harold and Andrew,The duo couldn't handle the officials’ words and were shaking their heads, Andrew most especially couldn't take the jabs anymore, he couldn't under

Every room!” Harold ordered the officials, maintaining strong eye contact as he went on,“Leave no stone unturned, ensure you search every room and everywhere!”The men, alongside the officials, nodded and began searching their houses thoroughly, displacing things and scattering the area, not minding that they were invading the private spaces of these women.Not a place was left unturned as these people searched every place in their homes: the parlor, their rooms, and kitchens. The more they searched, the more H

‘H-how’s this possible’ he mused to himself, almost crying in disbelief. He had come with the intent to maliciously slander Richard, but the fool was proving to be more of a saint than he realized.The officials, as well as Vivienne, picked the fallen book and skimmed through it, most of the officials sporting guilty looks on their faces; Vivienne's, on the other hand, was one of awe and astonishment; Richard was a rare breed.The journal detailed all of the good works Richard had done, receipts for donations he had made, charitable as well as to their personal and communal needs, Mrs Benson even had copies of letters of gratitude that the children had sent to Richard, even their aged parents, as well as a copy of the certificate of appreciate and man of the year that they had awarded Richard. It was a little eye-opening for each of them, some of them couldn't even bear to look at the journal anymore or Mrs Benson and the other women,At Harold's defeated expression, the officials e

“I apologize. There was a mix up” His apology was fake, to say the least, and everyone could smell it from a mile away. Before he could react, a commotion suddenly occurred from the spot where some of the women stood, as one of the women, overcome with grief suddenly made a desperate attempt to end her life,“No, no, Cynthia, think of your aged parents and children! Don't do this!”Harold and Andrew instantly snapped their head in that direction, to see that a woman held a bottle of poison in her trembling hand, the potent was dangerously close to her mouth, as she vigorously shook her head from side to side,“Let me go! Death is preferable to this inhumane treatment and accusations! At least when I die, I get to see my beloved Chester. I don't deserve thisssss!!!!" Cynthia’s cry echoed through the ground, as she once again attempted to swallow the potion. Harold's eyes went wild, his color paling as he realized they couldn't come out of this unscathed if they didn't make amends,Al
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 020
Sighing to himself, Andrew nodded reluctantly and then smiled at the women, trying to buy them over with his innocent look; he knew what Harold was driving at, although he didn't expect that he would be made to carry Richard's responsibilities, but he had to accept as refusing would taint his political ambitions. With his heart beating rapidly against his chest, he seemingly smiled and nodded at the women and officials, his eyes beaming with unsaid promises.Seeing that the women had begun to calm down, Harold turned to Andrew as he whispered beneath his breath, instructing him to leave the area to not aggravate the issue further,“You have to leave now, things are beginning to die down. We can't risk another uproar. Take your men and media with you” as he spoke, he made sure to send smiles at the women and officials. Although Andrew was still seething with anger towards Harold, he nodded curtly and turned to leave, his men trailing behind him. Harold watched as they were walking aw

With the aid of the media as well as social media reposting and live streaming, Richard's arrest and allegations had begun to grow like wildfire, garnering mixed reactions amongst the citizens of Dalton City.Everyone was talking about this piece of news, and were engrossed in the next tidbits that they could gather,One such person was Jacob, a young and promising man who worked at the Eclipse Bar. As his eyes perused the news, they nearly popped out of their sockets.‘I need to inform him,’ he spoke to himself as he rushed out of his dingy office and began taking the stairs two at a time, rushing to his destination.Aiden Cross, the club owner as well as the leader of the Black Vipers was seated in his office, on the top floor of the club, overlooking the city,His eyes were fixed on the papers that were strewn across his table, business wasn't going well and he was thinking of ways to keep Eclipse Bar afloat,Deep in his thoughts, he was instantly startled as Jake barged into his o
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 022
While Aiden Cross was reminiscing his glory days and yearning for the rising one, Harold and Andrew were at Harold's office, trying to sort out the women's compensation.They had been looking over the reports for over four hours and had come up with nothing, only the realization that the staggering amount that was spent on those women could cause them to actually stagger.Andrew flailed his arms and cried out in protest,“This is unbelievable! And a lot harder than I imagined" he nearly screamed, his voice tinged with disbelief. Running his hands through his hair before he pointed at the papers that were scattered all over the table,“Who knew that Almighty and most revered Richard Day would be paying so much to these worthless fools! It's ridiculous!" He cried out, slamming his hand to his face in despair,Heaving a breath, he walked back to the table, and as he picked a discarded paper, he skimmed it before snapping his head to look at Harold, narrowing his eyes at him, almost sayin

"Are you really going to help us?" Cassandra's eyes lit up hearing her father's words.Though she had joined hands with someone else who then gave her the idea that she had used, then gave her ways to make evidence without it being doctored, she felt something was missing,The person had said he wanted only Vivienne, though she didn't know what he wanted to do with her; she felt he must have gotten whatever he wanted, or else he wouldn't have gone silent.Since then, she didn't know how to push forward, Andrew was too busy handling his affairs, so she was left to deal with the aftermath."There's nothing I can do, I can't just stay and watch you fail in what you started," Harlod spread his hands shaking his head showing his helplessness,The two hadn't informed him before taking such big plans; now it was obvious they were going down the drain; how could he sit and watch them?"I'll take you there, Dad," Cassandra offered excitedly, standing up from where she was sitting."Alright let

"A bet?" Alice mumbled, staring at Richard, wondering what the heck he was trying to drive at,"Yeah. As long as I fail to change the way the Public feels, then I'll let you go, else you'll answer any of my questions," Richard replied with a nod, his gleaming as he stared at her,Alice stared at Richard for a while, not saying anything; the terms of the bet were a bit lucrative.If she were to win the bet, she would be free, else she would be forced to tell Richard whatever he wanted to know,Though Richard didn't try to force her to say anything when he asked her who sent her, neither did he try to use any physiological tricks, she couldn't be careless."Since you're silent, I'll take it that you agree to the terms of the bet then," Richard sighed and stood up once again,"No, no, I don't," Alice hurriedly came back to her senses and shook her head, instantly turning down the offer,Though there was a chance that she would win, it was just one out of two; it was not certain.Also,

["The pictures released by some reporters about the past Mayor in the prison have sparked major outrage from the people and they are demanding for the past Mayor to be put into the worst of prison, Coupled with the other news released, the public is angry and has given the mayor an ultimatum to punish the past Mayor else, they would storm the prison to take matters into their own hands,Also, many urged human rights to look into the domestic abuse the past Mayor's wife, Cassandra suffered, and punish him appropriately,"]The newscaster read as she delivered the news written on the paper she was holding,At the same time, pictures of Richard's residence in the prison were shown."Aren't you going to do anything to suppress the news?" Alice turned to Richard, wondering why he didn't look annoyed or moved,"What do you want me to do?" Richard shrugged, staring at the TV with a gentle smile."This news is bad for your reputation. In just a few hours, the reputation you painstakingly buil

"This was just too much fun," Aiden laughed, walking back into the house,He couldn't help but imagine Andrew's annoyed expression while he called out his name,This was a very refreshing feeling for Aiden as he was sure the latter wouldn't be able to do anything.What about the police, they wouldn't even be able to search. Also, he instructed his men to appear only for a minute or two, then they should disappear,"Where's the mask?" Clinton's cold voice pulled Aiden out of his thoughts."Yes, I made sure to collect them back," Aiden chuckled, still feeling good,"So what's our next move?" He asked, throwing the bag back at Clinton who was standing just by the dining table,"Let's wait and prepare for the next heist. The police are too confused to start any search right away," Clinton answered, walking about to the chair,"So how are we going to deal with their other group?" Aiden continued with his series of questions."We can't let them off easily, we need to show them we are also

"Access the CCTV cameras of these places, I want to see if Aiden was there a few minutes ago," Justin added over the papers to one of the people in the control room,"Yes, Sir," The officer saluted him, then turned to salute Andrew, too, but Andrew was not in the mood for all of the frivolities and shenanigans,All he wanted was just to confirm if Aiden was found in one of the locations or not."Sir here's Aiden," the man immediately pointed at the screen, which showed Aiden, who was buying something from the store,"Check the next location," Justin commanded,"Yes, Sir," The man nodded, and his hands immediately started to fly around on the keyboard."Sir, there he is," he pointed at Aiden who was walking with a bag in hand with his head down,"How many minutes is between them?" Justin didn't come to conclusions, but first, he asked,"Sir, both are at 10:30 this morning," the officer at the table swallowed, also realizing something was off.There was no way one person would be in t

While all of this was going on, Andrew was in the financial team department pacing around with a dark expression.The workers there didn't dare to breathe too loudly, afraid they were going to make Andrew angrier,They didn't want to lose their jobs just yet. As for the person who had stolen the money, there were no traces.It was as if the money had vanished into thin air, even the bank had no idea where it was transferred to,Checking the account details, they realized it didn't exist which made them even more helpless."What should I tell these investors?" Andrew muttered still not knowing what to do.After a while, he stopped pacing around and walked towards the door of the financial department,"I don't want a word of what happened today to leave this place," he commanded, his voice devoid of emotions carrying a faint hint of threat within."Yes Sir, we'll make sure to guard this secret with our lives," The workers swallowed all saying the same thing."You better do, else..."

While Robin and Justus were entertaining Vivienne, Richard was doing something similar with Alic"What do you think of my cooking?"Richard chuckled, staring at Alice whom he had untied and who was sitting on the sofa with a stubborn expression as though she was not going to give up,After he released her, she tried to fight him once again, but Richard defeated her white easily. No matter how she tried to attack, she would always be beaten by Richard,Slowly she realized there was no way to beat the man in front of her and there was no way to run away. The wardens were not going to let even a fly slip.Then she resorted to acting cold as there was nothing else she could do."Humph!" Alice snorted coldly and turned away. Richard smirked and shook his head before letting out a chuckle,"Hehehe," he laughed, resting his head on the sofa.Alfie refused to eat the food he prepared, so he had no other choice but to cover it up.Now, he was no longer worried, he had someone from the enemy t

Clinton smirked and winked at him,"That's exactly what we want, we want the police to be mad and confused at the same time," Clinton nodded in confirmation,"Also, they would become objects of ridicule and no one would be willing to believe in them again," Clinton added, the smile on his face grew."I see," Aiden muttered, raising his thumbs to give Andrew a thumbs up, equally grinning from ear to ear.The plan was extremely evil and it didn't spare anyone,"If it was not for this new factor, I didn't plan on this," Clinton shrugged defending himself,Now that the Mayor was angry with Aiden, he would surely want to look for him at all costs.Since that was the case, then why wouldn't he just play with his brain a little bit more and then make him infuriated,That would give them ample time to act. Also, they would be helpless, and even if the real Aiden were to come out, they wouldn't notice, they might think it was a mask beneath.As for the other party who were also involved in t

"What should we do?" Aiden broke the silence, shutting the system after he was done cleaning up his traces,"We'll set up a trap for the person who had just stolen our money," Clinton answered, walking back to the coach."What trap are we going to set now we've lost the money to them? I don't think anyone would be willing to invest in the city anymore," Aiden shook his head, still feeling rather frustrated."I didn't plan on telling you this before, but it seems like I would have no other choice but to say it," Clinton sighed, his eyes narrowing into a thin line,"Andrew divided the investors into three groups. The first would fund the start of the project, the second would fund the middle part and the last one would fund the rest of the project,"Aiden's eyes widened upon hearing; though he wondered how Clinton knew about this, he didn't ask. He didn't know much about the latter anyway, so it was just normal he didn't know how he knew about it."The reason I didn't tell you is becau
