Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 084
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

Andrew was tired and bleary-eyed as he sat at his desk the next morning; the investigation's burden was becoming too much to bear. He hadn't envisaged such a daunting task when he agreed to overthrow Richard, he had thought it was all going to be easy,At that moment, Cassandra waltzed in, her expression neutral as she walked, as her gaze landed on him, she smirked,"You look terrible," her tone was devoid of concern."Thank you," Andrew responded gruffly,"I've spent the entire night attempting to put this mess together."Shooting her brows up, Cassandra crossed her arms and remarked, "Well, you'd better figure it out soon. The media won't remain silent for very long.”If he heard her words, he didn't say anything as he ignored her and stared ok the opened file on his computer, drumming his fingers absentmindedly on his table surface,The situation was turning into an unsolved riddle, one that was tormenting his mind, the offshore account staring back at him as if mocking him. Silen

Caleb entered, his thoughts racing. He had heard enough of their exchange to know what Cassandra was trying to say; Richard would be permanently damaged if they were successful in framing him, and Caleb's own goals might also be derailed, “All right, Caleb,” Andrew said. "Well," Caleb started, giving Cassandra a quick glance, "I've been doing further analysis on the logs. Undoubtedly, a device in the mayor's office was the source of the OTPs linked to the siphoning transactions. However, I'm still unable to identify the precise person. It'll require additional time.” Andrew rubbed his temples and moaned, as he wondered why he had come if he hadn't found the culprit, "Continue, this must be settled right away.” Caleb answered, "Yes, sir," but his thoughts were already elsewhere. He realized he needed to move quickly. Cassandra's ability to frame Richard would ruin his own plans and the current advantage that he had. Later that night, Caleb sat looking at his compute

Richard set out from his cell to meet up with Caleb at his described location, Vivienne following behind. The tablet in his hand vibrated as a new message popped on the screen; another from Caleb,[Place the money in a black-coloured duffel bag. It should be placed in the garbage bin next to the old convenience store on 12th Street. There are no tricks, you’re not being followed. If I even suspect something is wrong, the entire world will know about the offshore account.]Richard read the message again, and a giggle escaped from his mouth. His eyes narrowed; ‘The audacity’ he mused amusingly,From where she stood near the car, arms crossed over her chest, Vivienne remarked, “You’re smiling.” Though she couldn’t go with him to the drop site, she had insisted on accompanying him to the jail’s exit,“Whoever’s on the other end of that smile, that’s never good.”Richard chuckled low, the sound emanating from his throat, it was funny how Caleb thought he held all the cards; how he could
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 089
Richard watched as Caleb rocked back and forth on his knees, while he stood like a regal, looking relaxed yet commanding at the same time, his hands casually tucked into his pockets. He glanced at Caleb with cold eyes, instilling cold shivers down the man's spine. Taking a step back, he glanced over at Caleb before asking,"Who are you?" Caleb answered immediately, "Caleb sir." "Good" Richard nodded, his voice smooth as silk but unyielding,“Let's try this again. Who are you working for?"Caleb snapped his neck up and quickly lowered it before he shook his head vigorously,"I...I am not working for anyone" he stuttered, clutching the black duffel bag tightly to his chest,"It's just me. I'm not working for anyone."Richard cocked his head to one side, narrowing his eyes, as he smiled darkly,"Do you take me for a fool, Caleb? Men such as yourself don't pull schemes such as this from nowhere. Somebody put you up to this. Tell.me.who.it.is""Nobody!" Caleb shrieked, his eyes closed t

"Get up," Richard said simply,Caleb hesitated before reaching for the offered hand, Richard pulled him to his feet with surprising ease.Richard didn't fail to notice the shock on Caleb's face, and he smirked within him. Although he didn't approve of the man's method, he could understand his desperation; he was willing to look over Caleb's wife but decided against it as he was still enjoying his ‘holiday’."You’ve made a mistake," he began, his tone calm but forceful,"But I’m willing to overlook it on one condition.""Anything," Caleb answered hurriedly, his voice shaky, "I’ll do anything.""You’re going to work for me now," Richard announced with a firm voice,"You’re going to be my eyes and ears in the mayor’s office. Every conversation, every meeting, every plan, anything involving Cassandra, Harold or Andrew I want to know about it. Do that, and I’ll make sure your wife gets the operation she needs."Caleb's eyes went wide, his lips parting and then snapping shut, like some fish
Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 091
After Richard's call with Diane, tension soon spread throughout Dalton City, with the citizens gathering at every available spot, whispering and arguing amongst themselves,Before noon on that day, all the newspaper stands in the city had been cleared out, and everyone was eager to obtain the latest newspaper that contained the latest news and juiciest juice,The headlines were intriguing enough and quite strategic, and it sure had people talking,[Discrepancies in Dalton City Finance; Where is the money?][Mayor's office can't account for missing funds]The piece was released anonymously, no name given and the piece didn't mention anyone's name, not even one suspect. Only giving enough details to raise suspicion and questions for everyone. And everyone sure had their questions and misgivings.As expected, following the turn of events, the mayor's office was in total disarray, Andrew Morris was practically clueless; phones were ringing nonstop. As they attempted and failed to control

(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
