"Mom!" Jade called out, terrified to see her mother holding a knife.Jade rushed to Lucia and slapped the knife off her hand. "What are you up to now?" Jade snarled.Lucia sniffled. With the back of her hand, she wiped the remnants of tears from her eyes and ran off even.Jade watched her run."What's going on here?" She asked, turning to Bruce."What are you and my mother up to?""You saw her with a knife just like I did. We are both surprised. I need answers just like you do," Bruce said."Why would my mother hold out a knife before you?" Jade asked, visibly confused. "Why would that even happen? What were you both talking about before I came in? What was she doing in your room? I have never seen my mom in your room.""I don't know what she wanted in my room. I can come into your room without you knowing what I really want."Jade frowned. "These days you and Lucia have been strangely close. Now I saw her holding out a knife in front of you and you are acting all ignorant like there'

"It's way worse, isn't it?" Delilah scoffed.Bruce stood to his feet. The last thing he wanted was another thing that'll cause him a headache.He was about to leave then she grabbed his arm. "You might no longer be my uncle's worker but that doesn't mean you can disrespect me."Bruce turned to her and frowned. "You're disrespecting yourself. I have done nothing to you but you're trying to frustrate me.""Are you frustrated? It's hard to find a good job isn't it?" She laughed out mischievously. "Seems like the only hope you had was my uncle."Bruce rolled his eyes. He had a migraine just by listening to her talk."My husband to be is a CEO." Delilah intertwined her arms around his.Apart from the man being awfully overdressed, Bruce noticed something else about him. "He looked familiar."Delilah's so-called husband to be stared at Bruce's face like it was a familiar face too.Bruce widened his eyes in realization. "You used to work for Nicholas Athen, right?"The man gasped. "You're th

Bryan paced about the room.The room was spacious. It was fit for a queen and Bryan took note of this. He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth."That bitch thought she can double cross me." He looked around Lucia's room. "Take a good look at her big and majestic room. She must have thought to herself, ‘I'd put that bastard in his place and rest in my room without having any problems’." Bryan cackled. "What a joke. I'd make her watch me destroy her husband's business, then her son, Cole, then I'd destroy her. She would wish for death but won't see it."Bryan smirked. "First, I'd use her."He continued pacing up and down his room.Then, Lucia walked into the room. Her eyes dilated in shock and terror as soon as she realized that Bryan was in her room.She tried to rush back to the exit but before she could, Bryan covered the distance between them and caught her."Where are you running to?" He asked. He smiled and the scary curve on his face sent shivers down her spine."I—I—" Lucia g

"You can take it yourself."Bruce frowned at how cold Lucia had spoken to his wife.The Fultons were having dinner, except J. J. Fulton who as usual had work to do. "Where is Cole?" Jemimah, asked with a snort."How many times would you ask such question?" Lucia replied her question with one, frowning."I don't always get the truth from you whenever I ask," Jemima answered with one of her brows raised. "Of course I would ask again until you tell me the truth."Lucia rolled her eyes. She decided to ignore Jemimah."Well," Jemimah continued. "You said Cole was out of the country for another business seminar, right?"Without taking as little as a glance at Jemimah, Lucia continued savoring on her food, ignoring Jemimah."One of my friends said she saw Cole in a place for people who have gone mental due to hard drugs." A look of triumph appeared on Jemimah's face immediately she was done.Lucia banged the table with her hands. She hit the table so hard that the content on top the table j

Lucia wanted to say these words to Bruce so badly."Yes, trust your friend. Bryan is your friend," she said instead and she pitied him when she saw him smile."But you were ready to tell me his name yesterday if I am ready to save your son. I am and—""You should just try to be smart," Lucia interrupted. "That's all I can tell you. Remember how your father died. Don't let yourself get silenced like he did.""You hate me so much that you'd rather watch your son suffer than help me.""I hate you. That is true, but I secretly vouch for you." Lucia looked around to see if Bryan was around. "You're drawing trouble and danger to yourself. You should be careful. That's all I can tell you." "I don't think you are," Bruce said dryly. "What if I help your son then you help me? Seems like you don't trust that I'd help you afterward."Lucia froze.She remembered Bryan warning her to grab all the opportunities presented to get Bruce into helping her son.She heaved a sigh. She did not want to do
Rise Of Billionaire Bruce Ace. Chapter Sixty-six: get into trouble.
"You look scared," Bryan chuckled."Why should she?" Bruce asked and Bryan shrugged."You should ask her yourself."Bruce looked at Lucia and then back at Bryan. "I don't think my mother-in-law is afraid of you.""Whatever. I came to see someone else anyway. I know Cole and me—""Just do whatever you are here for. I'm done with helping you pull my mother inlaw's legs so—" Bruce paused, seeing that Lucia was glaring at him. "Now you've made me annoy my mother-in-law." "You should be the one who should be annoyed with your mother-in-law. It shouldn't be the other way round," Bryan pointed out. "Why are you trying to impress an evil mother-in-law?""Bryan," Bruce called out with a warning tone and Bryan rolled his eyes. "She is making you help save her son who is most probably guilty of the crime he was charged for. She sees you as a gullible person."Lucia clenched her fists. Bryan was the one who asked her to frame Bruce but he was the same person making it hard for her to convince B

"From your plan, it seems like your plan would implicate my son. I don't want my Cole to get into trouble." Lucia said with a frown."The tone you're using with me. I don't like it." "Bryan, don't think I am weak. If anything happens to my son, I'd destroy you," Lucia warned."You're growing wings.""I'm an angry mother. It's looking like you're playing with my son's life to have your stupid revenge. If you want to take revenge for what Bruce did to you, do it without putting my life or any of my loved one's life in jeopardy.""I thought you cared about Bruce's life since he saved you from prison."The truth was that Lucia didn't care that much. She only pitied Bruce. He was being nice to his enemy. Lucia saw Bruce as a foolish person. She owed him big time and she knew it. She felt bad for helping Bryan, a rude motherfucker, plan evil against someone she owed.Lucia frowned.She wished Bryan would sleep and not wake up. She just found out that her son-in-law was Astor Ace's son. It

The house was awfully silent.Jade groaned.She usually thought that she would be happy in a home without any of her family members around. She wondered why she hated how quiet the house was without them. Aunt Jemimah and her husband had gone shopping. Her cousins and the other family members went to the beach to have fun together. Her father, of course, was working despite the fact that it was a Saturday.Her mother, who should be at home, was out again with her husband. The fact that they were going out together frequently lately did not sit well with Jade.She felt lonely. "Bruce would have been at home with me if—" she paused, realizing that it was Bruce she missed the most.Ding Dong. The doorbell rang."Bruce," Jade called out without thinking and rushed to the door.She opened the door and Bryan, the person at the door, did not miss the disappointed look on Jade's face. "I came to see Bruce.""He is not at home." Jade made a move to close the door but Bryan held the door, sto

"My Dad? How is that possible? How did he know that I was here?" Jade looked at Bruce, wondering if he had a hand in what was going on. "Did you know he was coming?" She asked Bruce and he shook his head. "Bring him in," Bruce ordered. "Yes, sir." The butler left and he had no time, she returned with J. J. Fulton. Jade gasped when she saw her father. His clothes were faded. His hair and beard were unkempt. He had lost a great deal of weight too. She wondered what was wrong. He had enough money to take care of himself even without working. He could only lack money if he lost everything in a gamble and she knew that her father would never do such. Jade actually expected more from her father. Sure expected him to multiply the money he had. Or, was he this way because he missed her? Jade wondered. "I'm sorry for how I treated you, Jade." He turned to Bruce and placed his palms together. "Please forgive me for having a hand in your parents' death. I don't deserve your forgiveness, bu

"She'll be there all her life?" Jade's mouth hung open as Bruce and Archibald broke the news to her. She was packing to leave for Beijing and hence had little time to be at Claire's trial.It's been weeks since Claire got arrested. She was sentenced to stay imprisoned for life."I think she deserves it," Jade added and Bruce nodded in agreement."She threatened to throw her child off a tall building. Of course, she deserves something worse than a life imprisonment," Bruce said."And her mom?""She's going back to her hometown. I gave her some money to take good care of herself. She has her flaws but Claire's mother does not deserve the pain her daughter caused her.""Jade, tell me you're not still thinking of going back to Beijing," Mr. Archibald chipped in. "I thought both of you got married."Jade and Bruce exchanged looks. Mr. Archibald was right. They were once married and have never had a divorce."You can go back first. I'd prepare the divorce papers," Bruce said and Jade nodded

"Sir Archibald-" Bruce's voice trailed off. He was short of words."What is it now? Don't tell me you're not happy to see me."Bruce looked at Jade and then at Mr. Archibald and smiled. "Of course not. I'm very happy to see you."Bruce got out of the chair, rushed to Mr. Archibald, and gave him a hug. "I was scared that I would never get to see you again.""You were scared and you did not bother to call me.""You told me not to. That you wouldn't answer even if I did. I'm sorry."Mr. Archibald smiled. "You're like a son to me. I will always answer whenever you call."Bruce pulled away from the hug and smiled. "I was so dumb not to have realized that much earlier.""And I should not have tried to force you to marry Tricia." He turned to Jade and smiled. "I should have forced you to find Have instead."Jade smiled nervously. "We don't intend to get back together. I'm leaving immediately my work here is done and that is to make sure Bruce gets his properties from Claire.""And, how does

Jade stopped before a hotel."This is where I stay.""Why stay in a hotel when you have a family house?""It's sold.""No, it isn't. I bought it back.""You did?" Jade's face brightened, then it became dull. "Claire now owns all your properties, so it's hers now.""I bought it in your name," Bruce said dryly and got out of the car.Jade beamed. "Thank you."She was here because she wanted to give him his money, but knowing that Bruce still cared made her happy."Then we should go there, instead of staying in the hotel. I'll quickly go to my room and get a few of my things."Bruce got back into the car and Jade got out.She walked into the hotel. After about ten minutes, she came out with a traveling bag and dropped it in her boot.Jade handed out a debit card to Bruce immediately after she got into the car. "It has your five hundred million."Bruce took it from her and mumbled a thank you."What about Mr. Archibald?" Jade asked, breaking the silence that lingered between them as she d

Bruce's eyes flung open. His breathing was back to normal and his heart stopped beating fast. He felt everywhere was brighter too. He guessed right. The door was opened and he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion immediately he saw who opened it. "Jade?" "Bruce." She ran to him to check if he was alright, but when she touched him, Bruce slapped her hands away from his body. "What are you doing here?" "If I had not reached here on time, you would have died." "That's what you want, isn't it?" Bruce scoffed. Jade shook her head. "If I wanted that, I would not have risked my life to save you." "Risk your life? I know you're on Claire's side. Stop the pretense. I know you somehow found out that I had a mp3 player that could land Claire in trouble. You told her about it and like you wanted, she was not absent. As a result, the case was dismissed. " "That's not true," Jade said, defending herself. "I was the one who took the audio recording. I asked the old man to give you

"He is your son too. Are you seriously going to kill your son?" Bruce could not believe his ears.Claire scoffed. "He is your son. Not mine. According to the contract I signed, you did not need a mother for your son. You only wanted an heir. You planned on paying me off so I could leave the child I would give birth to with you.""He is your blood. Don't tell me you're this heartless.""You know what poverty is like. You know what being powerless is like and what being powerful is like. So you should understand when I say that I want power and money. I want to teach those who have ever looked down on me a lesson. I want to be able to get what I want whenever I want. I want people to look at me with respect. I want the kind of money you have without being at your mercy.""Claire, don't I give you what you want whenever you ask?""You can wake up one day and decide you don't want our marriage again. What should I do then? I refuse to be at the mercy of a man. I want to have your money. I

It's been two months since Bruce saw Claire. She was nowhere to be found. He involved the police, and his men and searched for her himself but he still could not find her.Finding Claire was the only exciting thing that had happened in the space of two months. He worked from 7 am till 9 pm, then from work, he would go to the bar.Once in a while, his eyes scan the bar for Jade. The night before his first trial was the last night he saw Jade. He never saw Jade again after that day.Bruce looked around his office. The furniture was sleek and modern. The floor-to-ceiling windows gave the office a good view. He placed his hands on the mahogany desk, his eyes on his phone.His phone rang and he picked up the call immediately."Have you found them?""Ava still lives in this city but Naomi has relocated," the caller said and Bruce Ace nodded."Text me Ava's address."The last time he saw them was the day Claire ditched him on their wedding day. He smirked, remembering how they had looked do

Bruce Ace sat on the wooden bench. His eyes moved around searching for any trace of Claire. The courtroom was filled to its brim. The judge was visibly annoyed at everything that was happening.Murmurs filled the air.It's been an hour since the trial should begin but Claire, the plaintiff, was absent.The judge finally raised his court to talk. "The plaintiff seems to be nowhere to be found. In this light, the case is therefore dismissed."Bruce Ace frowned.He was ready for her.He has something to prove his innocence. Something to show that Claire was the guilty one here.Bruce was fixed to his seat. Refusing to get up. If this was the case, everybody would think that he had paid her off to shut her up.They will think he was the cause of her absence. Not like he cared what they thought of him but he wanted to shut her up the lawfully way.He wanted everyone to get a glimpse of what he had to go through because of women.Bruce finally left his seat and headed for the exit.

"Claire?"Claire raised her head from her food to see who was calling her. Her eyes flew open."Jade."She frowned."Oh my! How have you been?" Jade asked, joining her at the table. "Where have you been?"Claire raised an eyebrow, wondering if Jade had no idea of the ongoing case between her and Bruce. The news was everywhere. How would she not know?"Are you talking to me?"Jade smiled. "I know we don't have a good past. The issue with my brother and Bruce and stuff like that, but now these people are no longer in our lives, so I think we should be nicer to each other now.""Have you not seen Bruce?""I've seen him." Jade's face fell. "I saw him in a bar yesterday. He only talked to me when he did not know who I was. When he did, he yelled at me and left. He was telling me something about his wife trying to kill him to get his property and that she had sued him for beating her up which is not true. Do you know how he has been?""You don't know who I am?" Claire asked, just to confirm
