Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 097
"Sir, here's the file," Inside the investigation room, Caleb passed a stack of documents to Andrew who was sitting with his back facing him,"Place it on the table," Andrew replied without raising his head to see who it was.Well, this was his office, not anyone would care to walk in without his permission, so whoever it was, they were here to either present a file or give him important information,The person who had just walked in was of the former, so he didn't care who it was,He was going to check the files later. There were still a lot of pending issues he had to deal with.Caleb nodded as he turned around walking out of the office, his mind racing.He had just given Richard's file to Andrew and he wondered what the latter wanted to do with the files,Though it was none of his business, he had to do something about it,What's more, he had been trying to call Richard, but his line was not going through.Every time he tried, there would always be a mechanical voice from the other

Ring!The loud blaring sound of the bell jolted Richard who was almost dozing, awake, frowning slightly, he walked towards the phone and picked it up,"Hello sir, sorry to disturb you, but you have a visitor," A timid, yet hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone,Quirking his furrowed brows, Richard asked,"Visitor?" He was not expecting anyone to visit him, and so he wondered who it could be. It certainly couldn't be Vivienne, as there wouldn't be any need for an announcement of her arrival,"Yes sir," The hoarse voice of the guard sounded, pulling Richard back from his thoughts."Alright, let her in," Richard responded with authority, after being quiet, Since someone has dared to visit him, then the person had to know him, otherwise, there was no way someone who was not familiar with him would come."Hello!" A feminine voice came, pulling Richard out of his thoughts once more as he snapped his head up,The next moment, the strong scent of perfume assaulted his nose as a

Vivienne stood with crossed arms to her chest, clenching her teeth as she saw the situation in front of her, at first, she wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat,Seeing the way Tara was conversing with Richard and smiling, the jealousy in her heart continued to sprout deeper, almost germinating seeds of hatred for someone she didn't know, Her mind couldn't help but conjure dramatic thoughts as she watched them, Tara's smile was the rain, while Richard's face, which had brightened up, was the fertilizer that fueled the growth of the Jealousy.After a while, Vivienne forcefully calmed down. She could tell the lady was into Richard, and this didn't sit well with her.How was she going to let this happen? For a moment, she wanted to say something, but just as she stepped forward, she froze once again as she realized the two hadn't realized there was someone in the room.Noticing this, Vivienne's eyes flashed with jealousy so much that it could be felt in her ga

The Mayor's office was filled with activities and conferences, people pacing the length of the floor, whispering and following each other. The investigators and technical team weren't far behind, their eyes fixed on screens as they surveyed surveillance footage, transaction details and all; The search for Aiden Cross was in full swing,Andrew, alongside the others,, stood in front of a projector, overlooking the map of Dalton City with red marks darting specific places.Langford leaned in toward Andrew, adjusting his glasses as he said, "We found something." Andrew instantly snapped his head to gaze at him,“Aiden made a mistake after weeks of using a burner phone. We found he had bought some items on the west side at a store with a credit card matching his name and details.” Andrew sat up straight in his chair. "You don't mean Aiden's still in Dalton?" Langford nodded. "I am afraid it appears so."Cassandra, who had been standing with her arms folded beside the window, exhaled in s

Back in the prison, Richard lay in his cell, deep in thought, his mind racing; it had been a while now since the corruption had been exposed since he outsmarted his enemies and now he was waiting patiently for their next move, it was seeming like a game of chess,Vivienne entered the room, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee preceding her. She carried two steaming mugs, her eyes assessing Richard as she approached, she placed one mug in front of him, the ceramic clinking softly against the polished wood of the table. Sliding into the chair opposite him, she observed his weary posture,"You look like you could use this," she remarked, with her voice gentle. Richard blinked as if he was just surfacing from deep musing, he rubbed his forehead, a sigh escaping his lips,Sitting up, Richard wrapped his hands around the mug, the heat seeping into his skin,"Thanks," he mumbled, his gaze fixed on the dark liquid within, although he made no move to drink it. Vivienne leaned forward, her expre

The hunt for the elusive Aiden Cross, the criminal and trafficker of Dalton City, was in full- swing, with everyone suspicious of their next-door neighbour.Finding the man who had vanished without a trace was the focus of every department in the mayor's office, every investigative team, and every intelligence resource,Although Andrew had approved border monitoring, statewide warnings, and extensive research into Aiden's previous transactions, nothing concrete had surfaced until now.Cassandra was in a complete dilemma as she stood motionless outside the intensive care unit, her nostrils flooded with the pungent smell of antiseptic, sterility and hospital smell,The only thing that brought her back to reality was the steady beep of the devices keeping an eye on her father's health. Harold was lying on the hospital bed with a ventilator attached to his face to help with his difficult breathing, a bruised face, and one arm covered in tight bandages,She had been informed by the doctor

Cassandra's heart pounded against her ribs as she stood outside City Hall, the flash drive weighing more than a ton in her hand, She wasn't sure of what the drive had been configured to do. What if after inserting, all the works they had laboured over disappeared forever, unable to trace it? What if all of Richard's crimes were deleted in the process? She mused, Justice would never come to Dalton City. However, her father would survive. She took a deep breath closed her eyes, and began to make her way to the door. She had to do what she had to do, she concluded internally. As soon as she got in, Cassandra paced around the room, her face darkening as she walked, while she tried thinking of how she could escape the web she found herself, No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of anything, sweat covered her face as she realized she was in a fix. ‘What the heck was happening? What was she going to do? How was she going to get out of this mess?’ she mused internally,

"Why do you think I would want to help you?" He finally turned to Cassandra after a long moment of silence,"Because..." She stuttered not knowing what to say, as she lowered her head, she had already expected this, yet she came even after the humiliating experience at his hands the last time, Wringing her fingers, Cassandra sighed, she had told Richard what had happened, but he didn't look like he was ready to help her.This made her heart beat rapidly as she didn't know what to do next. Was he really going to let her do what they wanted or was he going to let her father die? She exhaled at the thought of the latter being a welcoming idea for him."I...."Gazing at her, Richard smiled darkly and shook his head,"You don't have to talk, let me see the flash drive," Richard interrupted her, stretching his hands towards her,Though he didn't want to help, he had no choice as he was bound by his commitment to Dalton and his office. If nothing was done, everything they had worked for w

(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
