Rise Of The Billionaire Son Press Conference
“Ria is acting so weird.” Chris with his hands in his pocket stared at the glass words of the elevator. His expression was staring right back at him and he was so worried. Rico put a hand on his shoulder, patting it lightly.“Don’t worry.” Butler Rico assured. “As soon as you are done with the press conference, you can talk to her.” Chris nodded and the nervousness of speaking to the members of the press set in. He was a young man and they were definitely going to ask him silly questions and hard ones, in other to test his ability.And when the news hit the public, everyone was going to wonder if he was competent enough. Soon, they got closer to the conference room and the voice of the host flowed into their ears. “Now, let’s welcome the new CEO, Chris Westminster, who will take the West Conglomerate to the highest levels in the world.” Instantly, everyone burst into a round of applause and Chris was tempted to make a joke that they were already high enough and maintaining their l

“Dodge the bullet!” Butler Rico’s voice was blasting through the device in Chris’ ears. However, the gun was pointed right at Chris’ head, how would he be able to dodge in time? It was all too sudden for Chris and when he saw Deco put his finger on the trigger and the security men tried to rush forward to get the gun from him, Chris did what he could do at that moment. In the next second, he grabbed Deco’s hand and turned the gun away from his head. But then the trigger had already been pulled and there was a loud sound of gunshot in the air. Bang!!And then another….bang!!The whole hall went into an uproar and the reporters scrambled around in fear while some were bold enough to stay and cover the whole scene. Even the security men were in shock and they stood still as the scene before them unfolded.“How dare you…” Deco shouted, pointing straight at Chris. “How dare you dodge?!” He was so angry that Chris had dodged the bullet and now, Deco was left with turmoil and an impend
Rise Of The Billionaire Son I Will Finish Him Off
Ria looked down at her phone as she got off the call with the masked man. She was shocked to her bones that he would ask such from her but as she stood there, right in Chris’ office, she knew she was doomed. If she didn't find a way to complete the deal, she might not be able to leave in time. In that case, Chris and butler Rico were bound to discover her involvement with The Reds. “What do I do?” Ria whispered to herself, her heart beating rapidly. For a moment, she regretted what she did, she regretted helping the masked man to get to Chris. She had aided Mr. Deco, the reporter in getting into the press conference venue. If not for her help, they would never let him through, as the gun on his body would have been detected. While she paced in the office, the large smart TV in the office started to ring really and the words flowed smoothly into Ria’s ears. “THE NEW CEO OF THE WEST CONGLOMERATE WAS SHOT DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCE HELD IN THE COMPANY.”“THE NEW CEO, CHRIS WESTMINS
Rise Of The Billionaire Son Axe’s Suspicion
Panic surged with Ria as her fists gripped the steering wheel and confusion set in. She contemplated dashing into the hospital building but unfortunately, the reporters blocked everywhere. More so, there were guards outside the hospital blocking the reporters. However, an idea suddenly popped into her head. She knew some of those guards and they would definitely let her in if she went there. In the next second, she hurried out of the car and squeezed herself in between the reporters. Even though she got hit by their cameras a few times, she persevered, moving forward. Finally, she got to the forefront and as the guards saw her, they recognized her immediately. “Miss Ria…” They called out. “Let me in...” Ria had no time to exchange pleasantries. The guards had no objection to letting her in because they knew she was close-knit with their boss. Also, they had not received a directive from Butler Rico to stop her. “Come in…” They quickly stepped aside to let her in. Ria was overjo
Rise Of The Billionaire Son I Pulled The Plug
Butler Rico got Axe’s message immediately and though he was confused as to why Axe would inform him of such a thing, he wasn't dumb not to know that Axe had definitely noticed something with Ria. But then he hoped in his heart that whatever it was wasn't associated with what happened to Chris. He knew how Chris cared for Ria and he might be devastated if Ria was involved. More so, butler Rico would never let a traitor like Ria go scot-free, and added to that, if the Westminster Master, Chris’ father got to know that something like that happened, it wouldn't end well.“Calm down…” Butler Rico whispered to himself. “You are thinking too far.” He quickly got rid of the suspicion in his heart but then it didn't mean he wouldn't keep an eye on Ria. “When is he going to come out?” Ria looked at the ER door, a bit worriedly which further dispelled the suspicion in Rico’s heart. “He got in a while ago. I don’t know when he will be out. Let’s just hope the surgery goes well.” Butler tried
Rise Of The Billionaire Son Monster
Ten hours had passed and nothing had still been said yet about the CEO of West Conglomerate. The public and the reporters were in tension and the shares of the company kept plummeting with no one showing up to assure the stockholders. At this moment, the masked man was seated in a dark sitting room with the only ray of light shining from the gaps in the window. Ever since Ria was brought to his home, he didn't meet her. He wanted to wait a few more hours to see if anything would be said concerning Chris’ death so as to ascertain whether he was really dead or not. But just as Ria said, they wouldn't be announcing his death anytime soon. “Good…” The masked man smirked, his eyes twinkling beneath his mask. He now truly believed that he had gotten rid of his rival and what he had to do now was to stomp on the West Organization. Whoever was going to be their King, whether it was Jones Westminster or anyone else, he wasn't going to let them rise above him.“Announce his death. Also, brin
Rise Of The Billionaire Son Alexander’s Identity
“THE NEW CEO OF WEST CONGLOMERATE, CHRIS WESTMINSTER HAS BEEN CONFIRMED DEAD BY THE HOSPITAL. AS OF NOW, WE HAVE NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILY WHILE THE COMPANY’S STOCKS KEEP PLUMMETING.” The news headline was making a rave as everyone was pumped to know what the Westminster family had to say. And at this moment, Jones Westminster, together with Alexander McQueen had just gotten down from the private plane they came with. They walked quietly to the prepared car that drove straight to the hospital. The car was tense and quiet and none of them made any attempt to speak. They had decided not to interfere with Ria and Chris’ life until they came back to their original country. However, with the recent happenings with Ria and how Chris got shot, they couldn't continue to ignore those two. “Master, have you seen the news?” Butler Steve who had been with them, at the forefront of the car passed an iPad to Jones. “It says Chris is dead.” Steve’s voice was heavy, causing Alexander

“Did you follow her?” Butler Rico asked hours later since Ria disappeared. Rico Axe stood before him with a troubled expression. “Yes. She is no longer one of us.” Axe shook his head, a bit dejected. However, that dejected feeling washed away with that of a serious one. “What do we do? Should we inform the master and Alexander? They should know about Ria–”“No.” The butler cut him off quickly. “We still have to handle Chris. I would rather not let the master know that Ria is gone, especially her brother. He is a nut case.” Butler Rico was trying to tread carefully. They all knew Alexander McQueen and even though he carried a handsome face with a very good public image, he was very notorious. Being able to be their master’s assistant for a long while, was no joke, and none of them could determine what he would do when he eventually discovered Ria’s betrayal. “Let’s wait until they get here.” Ricondecided. Even though Axe was not comfortable with that decision, he still nodded in ac

Downfall Of The Westminster Family
“Have you seen the news?” Rico Axe rushed into Chris’ study room with an anxious gaze. “Those bastards took it a notch higher than I expected. They even claimed that we ruined their family business!”“I want to slit their throat so bad!” Axe was so annoyed that he couldn't do anything. Back at the mafia base, it was so easy to get rid of people like that. But then they had to tread with caution here. “Calm down, Axe. We have everything under control, I guess.” Chris shrugged with a nonchalant expression. After he listened to the news once, he refused to listen to it again. Even though he wasn't guilty of anything they said, he still couldn't stomach the insults and might do something drastic. “Have you gotten the confessions from them all?” Chris asked. “Yes. Ren’s confession was especially shocking…” Rico Axe said, looking at Chris with a sympathetic expression. “Those people really wanted to wreck you. Thank God we planned for this ahead otherwise, Baron is going to wreck you.”“
Let The Battle Begin
Hours had passed and Chris finally arrived at the Westminster mansion with a serious gaze. Rico Axe who had been bouncing around because Chris finally put Baron in his place led Chris to the back of the mansion where Ren, Mia, and Ria were kept. “Have you briefed them on what they are to do?” Chris asked. “Yes, sure,” Rico answered. They reached the spot and it was a small house with three different bedrooms. It had all the necessities and even though it was separated from the mansion, it was cozy.Swiftly, the door to the living area was opened and Ria, Mia, and Ren had been assembled. As soon as they saw Chris, they stood up. Whereas, Ren and Ria had a blank look on their faces. They had long accepted their fate with Chris knowing they had actually done Chris a lot of harm however, Mia was still in the denial phase. Mia had on a messy face with eyes puffy from crying, “Chris…” She whispered, at the back of her mind, she hoped Chris had come to save her. She still thought Chris
Baron’s Proposal
Baron sat there, in shock at the words Chris had spouted toward him. He thought he had Chris in a chokehold but it didn't seem so. So, he held onto the sides of the table, his knuckles turning white because of how angry he was. His cockiness disappeared with the wind and he returned to his stoic and calculative self. “Are you going back on our deal, Chris Westminster?” He asked. “We never had a deal, did we?” Chris smiled, as he witnessed every of Baron’s switch in emotions. Now that he had control over the situation, he felt like the true son of the Westminster family. “You…” Baron stared at Chris with a glare, his teeth gritted against each other. “Since we never had a deal, Baron Rice, I think my time here is up.” Chris stood up, his stance domineering which caused Baron to frown even more. He had underestimated Chris for real. “If you need to discuss business with me again, then you can reach out to my assistant. He will convey your messages to me.” As soon as Chris finishe
Are You Qualified?
CHRIS WESTMINSTER, THE HEIR OF THE WESTMINSTER FAMILY HAS CONFIRMED THAT HE WAS SHOT AT DURING THE RICE FAMILY EVENT. HE CLAIMED THAT A RICE FAMILY MEMBER SAVED HIM. HOWEVER, THIS PERSON IS STILL UNKNOWN.THE COPS HAVE INVADED THE RICE FAMILY MANSION, LOOKING FOR LEADS. ILLEGAL FIREARMS WERE SAID TO HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF GUARDS. Chris sat behind his office desk, watching the news with a smile on his face. Things were slowly unfolding and even though he didn't know how things were going to end, he was thrilled. He wondered whether the Rice family patriarch would show himself to him or if he still had to shake things up. At the same time, his phone started to ring and in one swoop, he took it up to see it was Baron calling. Chris let out a sigh, as Baron was the last person he wanted to speak to but then he had to. “Hello, Chris speaking.” He connected the call as he finished speaking, Baron suddenly laughed out loud. Chris went silent, angry but he toned his emo
Exerting Dominance
A round of applause echoed in the conference hall as Jones Westminster walked up to the podium. At the same time, flashes and shutters of cameras filled the hall as the reporters were eager to see the heir being introduced. “Welcome, everyone.” Jones Westminster looked into the camera with a solid gaze. “We all are here to address the ongoing speculations about the Westminster family.”“Is it true that the Rice family is in a dirty fight with the Westminster family?” A reporter broke through, throwing that question. Immediately, another reporter threw another question, “Is it true that you used to be close friends with the Rice family patriarch and a business dispute tore you apart?”Jones went quiet, not expecting that question. He expected the reporters to let him speak and conduct the conference before even asking questions. But instead, they refused to go according to plan. “Everyone, your questions will be attended to soon,” Jones spoke up firmly. “Mr. Chairman, are you tryin
Doing Away With The Baggage
After Chris had a long conversation with his father, they finalized that he was finally going to give a statement regarding the news that had been circulating. The media wanted to know their stand with the Rice family. Also, revealing Chris as the heir would definitely boost the company’s shares. Though it wasn't the first time he revealed himself. He did so in the other branch of West Conglomerate, however, the news didn't reach the main branch and the country they were in now especially because of the shooting incident. Jones Westminster had made sure the news was buried. “Is everything under control?” Chris asked as he put the finishing touches to his clothes. He knotted his tie just right to fit him and when he was done, he looked himself in the mirror. He noticed how far he had grown in just months. He wasn't the scrawny boy who would cower before his bullies. So, why should he cower to Baron?“Yes, Boss. We have security at every angle of the conference hall. A shooting inc
Announcing The Heir
Chris sat at his table, tapping on the hard surface with a dim look in his eyes. His heart was heavy, wondering why too many things were happening at the same time. Not only was he betrayed, he had a chairman on his radar, alongside his son, Baron. Not only that, he had two insolent boys on his radar as well. He wondered when he would be able to take out Reid and Mike from his life completely. However, the most urgent matter at hand was Baron who had Mia’s parents. He wondered if he should succumb to Baron’s threats or not. If he did, Baron would be able to order him around and that was against his nobility. An heir of the Westminster family shouldn't be made to bow before anyone.And if he didn't succumb, the school’s rooftop incident was bound to be reopened again. This time, the public will definitely dig into it. “What are you going to do now, boss?” Rico Axe asked as Chris had briefed him on everything. “You are not going to succumb to Baron, are you?” He asked. “Haha…” Ch
Bills
On the other side of the city, Reid woke up in an abandoned warehouse with his clothes covered in blood and sweat. The last thing he recalled was the way he followed Chris from the party hall. He was privy to getting an invitation to the party the Rice family hosted and when he saw Chris, he lost it. He felt jealous and vexed when Chris hot to sit with the Rice family all because he was the heir of the Westminster family. Even Reid’s family had to go through a lot of hurdles due to get the invitation but Chris walked in freely like he owned the place. Reid thought back to when he used to bully Chris, who would thought that timid cleaner then was an heir. He still didn't understand how Chris was able to climb to the top but it didn't matter now. All that mattered was that Chris was now levels ahead of him and no matter what, Reid was going to bring him down. He stood up to his feet and found his phone quickly. Swiftly, he put a call across to his parents, asking them to come pic
Threats
Chris wasn't satisfied with the vague information his father had given him. If there was a deep grudge between the families, he wanted to know. However, he was being pushed to the forefront of the battle without any clue. “Chris?” Jones called out, wanting an answer. “I am not interested.” Chris hissed and in the next second, he walked back to his bedroom. He had planned to leave home to work that morning and he did just that. He could bury his head in work and forget about the baggage around him. Thirty minutes later, Chris was ready for work and he walked out to meet his father in the same position he left him in. “I see you are ready to leave...” Jones took a proud look at his son. But still, Chris gave no heed to his father’s words. But Jones didn't mind, he knew Chris would soon come to terms with what he was saying. “Prepare, Chris. The country will want to know who the heir to the Westminster family is…”Jones’s words faded out as Chris walked out of the house. Rico Axe
