Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 078
With a shaky voice and a pale face, he gaped at Richard who stood strong with wide shoulders, not a scratch on him, he mumbled in a low voice,“W-what are you? A mercenary? W-who?”He hadn't come across one with such skill or power; he had only heard of one with such skills but had never seen or known him personally. It wasn't possible that this person before him could be that person, was it? He wondered as he gulped, his entire face pale.Sneering at the leader, Vivienne stepped forward as she took the liberty to respond with a smirk,“He's Richard Day, the Mayor of our town" As the name left Vivienne's lips, the leader sputtered, and went paler than before, stumbling as he gaped at Richard,“N-no…no, it can't be” As he gaped at Richard, he couldn't deny that he surely was the one he had heard about. The leader immediately got to his feet and turned to glare at Dan Morris whose brows furrowed,“What have you done?!!" The leader demanded loudly, grabbing at Dan's collar, who began co

A few days later, the news about Cassandra, Harold and the Morris' embarrassing beating was still headline news on every available blog and news,The media who had been present at the cell had made sure to secretly capture and share the news. Cassandra and the rest were still nursing their wounds, Dan Morris had gone back to the capital with his tails in between his legs.Richard was once again praised as a National Hero who, despite being down, had found a way to deal with his enemies.Andrew, Cassandra and Harold were currently seated in Andrew's new office, nursing their wounds. Cassandra rubbed at the sore spot as she cursed Richard and the men who had beaten her up internally,‘Damn you to hell Richard Day’ she cursed at him, biting hard on her lower lip as she remembered the horror she had gone through.All of a sudden, the door to Andrew's office was barged open and his new secretary alongside a few officials hurried into the office, looking a little frazzled,“Mr Morris, Mayor
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 80
Andrew sighed and ran his hands over his face as he expelled a deep breath,"What if we don't find how to nail this on Richard? What if he's not the one behind this?” Sighing once more, he looked at the duo and shook his head, "I don't even know what to think at this point. This is not what we can deal with under the time frame, or we have to answer for what we know nothing about. I can't carry the cross for another man's crime; it's impossible." Andrew paced around the room, with many thoughts weighing him down in his head.His secretary who had returned into the room after seeing the officials out, smiled softly and cleared her throat,“Excuse me, sir, but we have to find—” She was about to drop off a suggestion that came to her mind, hoping that Andrew would listen to her. She was secretly in love with Andrew, and being that he was a Morris added to her awe of him, and so she was trying daily to make him see her beyond being a secretary. Afterall, Cassandra wasn't good enough for
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 81
As Cassandra stealthily approached, Andrew snapped his head to her direction and scowled,"Cassandra what do you want?" Andrew asked, glaring intently at her,Cassandra was calm since her father asked her to get a hold of her man.She could see the fury in Andrew's eyes, the muscles straining against his shirt. She closed her eyes briefly and put up a sly smile,She sat on his desk, crossing her legs and glanced at him, "Have you lost your mind, Andrew? Would you let our enemies win this battle? What happened to the strong-willed and smart young acting Mayor I'm marrying? Don't give up now, be calm, gather your thoughts together so we can create a perfect solution that'll benefit everyone" Andrew glanced at her, biting lightly on his lower lips, as he ran his hands through his hair. He glanced at Harold and sneered a little before facing Cassandra who had begun speaking once again,"You know this is your legacy we're talking about. We can't let our enemies mock us. What happened to
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 82
One could feel the tension in the office, but Andrew ignored both women as he gazed at his laptop screen, his eyes not seeing anything,The stifling silence that had descended upon the room was interrupted by the gentle sound of a notification on the laptop. Across from him, Cassandra sat with her arms crossed firmly and her fingers tapping angrily on her forearm, occasionally darting a glare in Mia’s direction,Harold paced the room, the soft carpet underneath him absorbing his footsteps."Fuck it, Andrew," Cassandra suddenly yelled, her piercing tone breaking the tension, she was done playing the good fianceé role, she couldn't fathom how Andrew could have been blinded by whatever to the extent that a crime of this magnitude was going on under him and he didn't have a clue. If those officials hadn't said anything, the crime would have gone on for longer."How could you have allowed this to occur? Are you aware of how terrible this is for us?” she fired at him, glaring intently,Andr
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 83
The investigating team had created a list of possible suspects back in Andrew's office. Cassandra and Harold went over each profile individually while Andrew sat with them. City officials who had access to the system over the years, retired and fired bank managers, and former mayors were all on the list.Cassandra pointed to a name and said,"Look at this. The previous head of finance, Michael Grant. A few years ago, we heard that he had been fired under questionable circumstances. I asked Richard, but he never said anything”Andrew hardly gave the name a look,"Even though Michael might be a fool, he wouldn't have the courage to do something this complex."Cassandra gave a frustrated huff. “What about Carla Dean, then? When Richard was elected mayor, she immediately quit. Was she harbouring resentment?”"Or maybe it's someone still in the system," Harold interrupted. someone with current credentials at their disposal. That would explain why they continue to embezzle money.”With a gr

As the investigation increased, the tension in the mayoral office increased to a palpable length as well. As the team intensified their search by closely examining the suspect list, the case was becoming increasingly complex,As Andrew followed up with the investigation, he didn't want to come to the understanding that the man had labeled a villain, incompetent might not be anything close to that, and Andrew found himself struggling with that,And everything was in danger of collapsing due to Caleb's schemes that were working behind the scenes.Just as they continued to look through the file of the past mayor and people who had log-in details, they discovered something that left them with widened eyes and gaping mouths,“This can’t be true, …… Richard Day!”For a while, the room was silent, the only sound emanating out was that of the computer whirring, Andrew sat in front of the computer, his eyes widening as he watched the screen with a stilled breath,Andrew covered his mouth with

Caleb was bent over his desk across the hall, his forehead pinched in concentration, as he bit down on his bottom lip, while typing furiously on his keypad,System logs and data began appearing on the screen while he typed away on the keyboard; the deeper he dug, the more confusing it got. The numbers weren't adding up yet Caleb persisted.It was obvious that the theft was orchestrated by someone inside the Mayor's office, one who had high-level access, as the funds stolen had been required for an OTP that came from the mayoral office itself.As Caleb dug further, he came to realize that though Richard's name had appeared on the logs, he had limited access; with the way the system was set up, Richard would need inside assistance to complete these transactions,Caleb heaved a breath as he muttered a little loudly,“Fuck" With his mind racing, and with furrowed brows, he reclined his chair as he leaned on it. Absentmindedly running his hand over his face as he remembered the logs he ha

(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
