Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 018
‘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

No sooner had Andrew left before the majority of the officials in Dalton City stormed into Harold's office; he was seated on his chair, trying to rest his head. At their interruption, he opened his eyes and narrowed it at them, Before he could voice out his displeasure, the officials beat him to it, “Mr…Mayor Delaney, we stand with and for Mayor Richard Day” “Mayor Richard has done tremendous work in our city, that work can't be ignored" “Yes" They all nodded in unison, echoing his words, Harold could tell his double-laced meaning, their words were laced with subtle threats, but the officials persevered, “We’re asking for his immediate release because if we don't act fast, there might be dire and devastating consequences. Richard is the glue that holds everything together, without him, Dalton will be in ruins” The official who was speaking paused, let out a deep breath, and continued, "And so we urge you to reconsider, and are demanding that you release Mayor Richard w

Meanwhile, Andrew had been busy trying to uncover more evidence to bring Richard down, he had gotten a lead and was dutifully following it, while seated in his car, and as his eyes scanned the files in his hands, they widened further,He began gleaming and almost shouted in joy as he thought of what this discovery would do to Richard, it would finally expose him to people who thought he was high and mighty. He couldn't wait to hear what and how the people would condemn the Almighty Richard Day, “You're finally going down Day! And I'll be there to see", he spoke out loudly, his eyes glowing as he pored the documents,"Who would have thought? Yet another luxurious apartment. You sure do know how to hide your crimes Richard, but unfortunately for you, I'm your nemesis and will unearth anything you try to hide”Andrew said loudly, cackling as he did. He had discovered that Richard had another luxurious apartment in a higher location, and they were about ten in number. Richard's ownership

Andrew didn't have to wait too long for the arrival of the officials as well as the other men they had brought along to aid the search, Andrew hastily led them to the entrance, his phone in hand as he began making a video, making sure to capture the officials’ reactions, Standing with his shoulders and chest puffed out, he cleared his throat and spread his arm out as he said, “Our dear officials, what you're about to see is a grappling evidence against Richard Day. I'm afraid the evidence against him is about to get stronger” He declared arrogantly, his eyes gleaming as he led them forward. While they moved, the officials couldn't help but exclaim what they were seeing, “Oh my gosh! This is even bigger than Avalon Heights" "Did you see the exterior of the building as we came in? It screamed of affluence and luxury, it's so beautiful. How can someone who isn't a billionaire have such?” And as they entered the hallway, their eyes widened further, “What's Mayor Richard doin

(Three Years Later) "Get these files and give them to the right department," Richard ordered, passing a file to a man standing before him. "Yes sir," The man nodded and took the files from Richard. "Do you need anything?" Richard finally raised his head from what he was doing to look at the man who was still standing. "Sir, I need you to approve my leave so I can take care of my wife who's about to give birth," The man said slowly, handing over a matter to Richard. "Alright, it's approved," Richard nodded and took the letter from the man. "Thank you, sir," The man beamed happily and quickly walked out of the office. Richard sighed and sat back on the chair after the man was out. It had been three years since everything. Andrew, Cassandra, and Harold were tried and thrown into prison. Justus, Aiden, Clinton, and Robin were also thrown into prison for fraud. The citizens of Dalton City demanded that Richard come back as the Mayor of the city. After much pleas and persuasion, h

Walking out of the office, the three walked out of the mayoral office only to be greeted by about five men who were in uniforms. Seeing the men, Andrew and Harold froze and it was as though their eyes would pop out of their sockets as they stared at the men. Slowly, they began to move back as though they had seen a ghost. "Father, Andrew, what the heck is wrong with both of you?" Cassandra frowned and stopped the two who were retreating slowly. "You should also go back; they are most probably here to arrest us," Harlod whispered to Cassandra, whose eyes flashed with panic. This must be Richard's fault. They were sure he was the one who invited them over. Apart from him, no one dared to make such a big move. Also, they were not expecting it. "Please stop moving back; we are going to assume you want to run away, and we would be forced to use force on you?" One of the men stepped forward, stating in a loud, cold voice, making the three stop in their tracks. The people before them

"What the heck is that bastard doing?" Andrew slapped the table angrily standing up from where he was.Somehow, some reporters had managed to get to the scene where Richard was arresting Aiden.And in the end, the citizens were praising Richard for arresting the miscreants. Then a torrent of curses was sent towards Andrew and it was said he knew nothing but to say things that were not true.This annoyed Andrew, but there was nothing he could do about it."You saw why I said we can't let him live," Cassandra, who had been silent all along, broke the silence, and the two couldn't help but nod.She was right, there was no way they would allow Richard to live. He was just too damn dangerous."So do you still think we should take the killing seriously, or we should continue to look at him," Cassandra stared at the two men and inquired."We should get rid of him for good this time, else, he won't spare us," Harold shook his head.He knew if Richard was to know they wanted to kill him, he w

"If that's the case, why don't you just let us search the house?" One of the policemen frowned and spoke."If you were to search the house, you would also be wasting your time as you wouldn't be able to find them either," Alice shook her head, wondering if this set of people were dumb."Seems like you don't believe it?" Richard smirked, staring at the police officers."Since that's the case, then go and search the house," Richard continued, waving his hands allowing them to go search the house."You can go," Vivienne nodded and allowed the men to go into the house to search.Though she trusted Richard, her men seemed to have doubts. So she had no other choice but to let them clear their doubts by going into the house."But how did you know all of these?" Vivienne asked, staring at Richard."That's because Clinton is not an ordinary Criminal," Richard answered with a smile.He knew how Clinton's mind worked. So he was very sure he was still in the house."Look at his style. He knows

"Fuck!" Aiden, who was typing with all of his might, suddenly cursed. "Who the heck is playing with me?" He yelled, banging the table. He had been trying to hack into the place, but for some reason, he was not able to do it. At some point, the other person seemed to have given up and left. But he didn't and continued to fight with the other party. After a while, he realized the other party didn't even take him seriously at all and this made him annoyed. "What's wrong?" Clinton, who had been packing, rushed into the room and asked what was wrong. "You won't believe this guy is playing with me?" Aiden spoke, fury could be felt in his voice. "What do you mean by that?" Clinton asked slowly, the expression on his face changed. "He's not taking me seriously at all. He's not even trying to defend the place. More like he's just forcing me, wanting me to make mistakes," Hearing this, Clinton's eyes opened wide. While he was at the Mayoral office, they didn't have anyone with that sk

"The universe is on our side," Andrew laughed loudly, walking into the office; the smile on his face was as wide as anything."What's happening?" Harold, who had been waiting for Andrew to return, stared at him, waiting for the news."Well, it's just that our team was able to block Aiden from entering and the money is still intact," Andrew laughed, sitting on the sofa."That's good news," Harold nodded, agreeing almost Instantly.Now that they have been able to block Aiden. All that remained was to attack Richard right?"Richard has not yet taken the bait, has he?" Harold asked a frown emerging on his face."You don't need to worry about that, I'm sure he's still pretending. We still have a lot of time. All we have to do is pretend the money is still there." "And if he doesn't take the money, we can still pin the blame on him, it would still be the same outcome anyways,""Good, good," Harold agreed, nodding happily.He was very satisfied with the way Andrew acted. He was sure that th

"Richard!" Vivienne froze upon hearing the voice; the next moment, she pulled out of her shock and ran towards Richard, who was standing with Alice and embraced him tightly."Tell me, how did you know it was a trap?" Richard's low voice came again as he held Vivienne in his arms."It's easy to guess," Vivienne chuckled,"Who would be crazy to use that much as bait?" Vivienne laughed, still not releasing Richard."And since you dared do that. Naturally, you were not doing it for free, or were you?""You know me quite too well," Richard rubbed his nose hearing what she said.Though her analysis was quite off the mark, he couldn't say that she was wrong. He was the only one who would do such a thing and take such a risk.Apart from him, no one in the world would be willing to do such shit, so there was no need to look around."It's fine Vivienne, I'm here now," Richard smiled, patting Vivienne's back.It was not until then she disengaged from the hug and stared at him with a smile on he

"Aren't you going to come along?" Richard glanced at Alice who was lying lazily on the sofa as though she didn't want to come along.After he revived the message from Richard, he immediately called Justin and asked him to come over, so they would go and arrest Justus.Now Justin and the others were waiting for him at the door."I'm coming," Alice stood up almost instantly, following Richard.She was not surprised that Richard's men had found out about Justus' location. She wanted to see what Justus would do. Also, she didn't know where the hideout was.So, there was no way he would blame her. Besides, he had abandoned her all to Richard.If it were not for the fact that Richard was a good person and was even willing to welcome her, she wouldn't know how miserable her life would have been.Just as the two were about to step out, Richard's phone rang. Pulling out the phone, Richard saw it was Franklyn."Sir, Andrew has withdrawn the money from the account," Franklyn reported, there wa
Chapter 205
"Now, this is what I call easy prey," Franklyn's eyes flashed with a glint as he typed away.He had already caught onto Justus's location and had immediately texted it to Richard right away.He would have called, but he knew the two would break into the place once he was distracted.The one billion was Richard's money, there was no way he would allow something to happen to it.He had to make sure he protected it with all of his might. Also, he was sure that Richard was expecting his message, so he was not worried at all.He knew Richard would know he was not trying to run away from responsibilities.Just as he was doing all of this, he saw Andrew walk into the finance office..Before he could say anything. More than half of the money had been withdrawn. He knew this was Andrew's work."How dare you try to steal Sir Richard's money?" Franklyn growled, feeling rather annoyed.What the heck was Andrew thinking? He wanted to spend Richard's money? That was not going to be possible.He was
