Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 023
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
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 026
Immediately, Andrew's team opened the suitcases. However, they uncovered more evidence of Richard's good works; these sets contained letters of gratitude from both old and young, even the rich and people of influence as well as the poor. These notes showed Richard's dedication and love for helping others. Andrew stormed his foot, covering his trembling lips with his fist. Some of the officials once again picked up a few notes as they glanced through it, “OMG, this is from Mr Eric Moore the popular billionaire in Ashton! He thanked Mayor Richard for healing him and he also included that he sent over the fifty million Mayor Richard had rejected” “You won't believe what's in my hand. Lady Mae Whitefield wrote a love letter to him, professing her love. She says there's no man that can compare to him” the person lifted his head and nodded with a smile, "That I can agree” before he went on, "She also included the sum of a hundred million as a token of her love! This must be a film se

Andrew shook his head, as he lowered it, staring at his feet, unable to make eye contact with anyone of them, “We thought so. You're just spewing trash” one of the officials scoffed as he eyed Andrew.Unable to meet or take their gaze, Andrew shuffled out of there, his cheeks cherry red and his mind reeling with different thoughts, but topmost on his mind was the fact that he had to reach out to Harold and update him on the situation,Their hopes of using the videos that he had recorded were currently dashed; they couldn't present it as evidence to the government representative that Harold was gathering. Andrew’s darkened expression broke into a small smile at the realization that he had not sent the videos to Harold; all he had to do was make a call to inform him to postpone the meeting.His smile widening further, he glanced at his phone to place the call and as he saw the screen, his heart began thumping, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead,‘What have I done?’ he mumbled to
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 028
With his eyes still shut, Andrew inhaled sharply before speaking,“I have made a grave mistake Harold. The damned boxes didn't contain any more valuables or even evidence of Richard's embezzlement!” He huffed, slamming his clenched fist to his forehead as he went on,"The blasted boxes were filled with letters of gratitude from people the fool had helped; the bastard even has time, the finances, and medical expertise to heal both the rich and the impoverished. Who the hell keeps papers in their homes if not that fool”Andrew exclaimed, running his hands through his hair as he expelled a breath. At the other end, Harold went completely still, before he finally found his voice that had gone stunned,“W-what? That's… that's impossible. Oh God! I need to make a call to avert this pending doom! No no no”Harold exclaimed wearily as he cut the call, immediately loosening his tie as he was beginning to feel choked up. He immediately placed a call to Dan Morris, Andrew's father, wiping at hi

While the journalist Taylor was working on vindicating Richard, Dan Morris had gathered his colleagues and top officials to his office, making sure to pop champagne, his most expensive one as he was in a celebratory mood, telling jokes and throwing his head back in laughter. He didn't fail to also remind them why they were celebrating and whom they were celebrating, “My son Richard? You should know him. The boy is doing great work in Dalton City. Would you believe…" his eyes shone with pride as he took a sip of his champagne and tipped his glass in the direction of his counterparts before he went on, still smiling, “Would you believe that he was instrumental in the arrest and capturing of their acting mayor, who's nothing but a corrupt fraud and has been embezzling government funds for himself? Andrew uncovered all of that!” He declared with a puff out chest, and as he spoke, he closely watched others to gauge their reactions to his disclosed information. “You don't say! You mu
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 030
Unaware of the new development, Dan was still bragging about Andrew, telling all who cared to listen how great his son was,“One would think that the son in question is the new Messiah" Donald mumbled beneath his breath, his voice barely a whisper.Dan who had heard a snippet of his words snapped his head while narrowing his eyes at Donald,“What Mr Curry? Did you say something or do you have something to say to us?" He challenged him with a thrust of his chin, and Donald cackled, his face a mix of mockery and pity,"Yes I did, in fact, I do have something to say" Donald retorted, getting into Dan's face, he glanced around before he continued,“Your son isn't the savior you have made him out to be. He's nothing but a fool who has made a mockery of himself and your family name”His words angered Dan, whose eyes had become reddened while glaring at him, with nostrils flaring, Dan shouted,“How dare you! What gives you the audacity to-”"Don't you dare yell at me. Your son is incompeten

When no one replied to him immediately, General James clenched his jaw, his neck corded as he cracked it from side to side before jabbing his finger at Cassandra,“I.hate.to.repeat.myself! What did you just say?" Cassandra cleared her throat and looked away, forcing Andrew who was already livid to answer through gritted teeth,“Richard Day has been put away on the charge of bribery and extortion, and most recently murders of war soldiers and citizens" A few people nodded in agreement as they managed to stare at James, whose brows were creased. Surprisingly, he folded himself and belted out a loud laugh which caused everyone to gape at him and then at themselves, wondering if the general was all right.Still doubled over in laughter, General James clutched at his belly, as it was deep in laughter. The information they had given him was the most ludicrous thing he had heard all year: Richard, a murderer and opportunist?The thought alone was ridiculous, and so he snorted while laughin

All eyes remained on Clinton, expecting his response,Clinton smiled, his eyes gleaming as he reveled in the attention, taking a little time before revealing his thoughts. One quick glance at Cassandra and he could see she was becoming irritated,“I think we can easily create a scandal around Richard” he started, drawing their attention more as they leaned in closely,“We'll create something that will make the citizens doubt him and his integrity and question his leadership once and for all”Clinton concluded with a smirk, his tone quite malicious as his eyes still gleamed. Andrew's eyes widened while Harold's face became pale, and they both spoke at once,“The last time we tried to do something like that, it didn't work out!" “That's a dangerous suggestion, Mr Rogers!” Harold added with a slight scoff, "If we get caught, it could spell doom and can be the end of us" He added as he gaped at Clinton. He didn't think the man could think of such dark thoughts.Where the other two men

The people's reactions had been unexpected and instant, as they had seen through Andrew's foul plan. While Andrew and the rest were hastily retreating, the crowd was still surging forward, tossing objects at them and hurling insults.Cassandra's face was a canvas of anger and fury, her entire face was reddened. She had never felt so humiliated and embarrassed before, not even when Nicholas Hunt had practically thrown them out of his restaurant after demanding their payment,“This is and was a disaster!" She muttered through gritted teeth,‘You think?!’ Andrew retorted in his mind, unable to voice his out. He shook his head in self-pity, saying nothing else.When they finally made their escape into the office, all four of them flopped onto available seats, unsuccessfully trying to dust out their clothes. The room was beginning to fill with the stench of eggs, as Clinton and Harold were unable to escape the egg attack.Harold looked pale, his facial expression quite grim as he curled hi

All heads turned in her direction as they gaped at her. This time, Andrew was the first to react as he flew to his feet and jabbed his finger in the direction of the window,“You want me" he pointed at himself, “to face them?" he asked, his eyes almost widening as he glanced at his supposed fianceéCassandra shrugged in response,“What other option do you have?" "Sit back and wait for everything to die down, for them to decide to go home and release an official statement afterward” Andrew retorted, and Cassandra laughed loudly, her eyes devoid of any humor,"And what if they don't go home?” she countered,"Then we wait it out! They're bound to get tired someday somehow”Andrew retorted once again, running his hand through his face. Shaking her head, Cassandra walked over like a predator aiming for its prey, smiling seductively, she leaned towards his face and kissed him sensually, running her fingertip down his chest,“Don't be worried, you just have to be confident.

Sneering at him with cold eyes, Aiden continued,“I pay you to get the job done at any cost, and right now Clinton, you're slacking!”Aiden tsked, using his tongue to wipe his teeth as he sneered at Clinton. Clinton swallowed, his gaze lowering as he nodded, chills running down his spine.For the umpteenth time, Clinton swallowed, trembling slightly,“I understand Richard. We'll do all we can to contain the situation, trust me.”Aiden spared him another glance and hissed,"I want to trust you but you aren't making it easy." He leaned into Clinton's ears as he spoke in a low tone,“Not just contain the situation, but find how Richard gets to spend the rest of his life in jail. I don't need to spell out anything for you, if you guys can't find anything on him, then maybe you should plant something worth finding!”Clinton's eyes widened but he nodded, his head churning with thoughts.

Meanwhile, Aiden who's been celebrating the success of his subtle comeback, thanks to Clinton's help in the government house, was relaxed on his chair, with his left arm placed at the back of his head with a huge grin on his face as he scrolled his financial report of the past days, smiling hugely as he did; business was picking up and he was glad to see. As a thought flickered through his mind, his smile dipped, ‘Can’t even entertain that thought, if Richard Day comes out of jail, I'll be toast. He most definitely can't come out’ Aiden spoke in his mind, his jaw clenching as the thought passed his mind. With the thought souring his mood, he decided to ease his mind by going through his social media, his fingers scrolled through his Photogram feed, and as he began paying more attention, his eyes squinted and his brows instantly creased, “What's going on? What's this?!" He asked no one in particular loudly as his eyes shot up and he adjusted himself on his seat, sitting up straig
