Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir FORTY FOUR – PUNISHMENTS
“You were just asking her to do her job.” Luke repeated, disgust evident in his tone. “Let me ask you something, Fiona. Are you paying Laura for her services? Is there any part of your contract of employment which states that she’s under your payroll?” Fiona shook her head.“No, sir. But…”“Keep quiet!” Luke thundered and she fell silent, her cheeks colouring with embarrassment. “Now, I’m going to ask you a few questions and I only need ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers. Understood?”“Yes, sir.” Fiona replied, raising her eyes to meet Luke’s. She’d already tried to lure him into punishing Laura instead of her with puppy dog eyes but he gave her a cold-eyed stare and she promptly looked away.“Did you ask Laura to clean dirt off your shoes?” Luke began.“Yes, I did.” Fiona replied without remorse.Luke’s anger slowly returned.“Did you lay your hands on her?”“No. No, I didn’t, sir.”“How then did the contents of her bag end up all over the floor?”Fiona pursed her lips, racking her brain for a
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir FORTY FIVE – EVIL PLOTS
“How dare he?” Fiona fumed to herself as she picked the last of crushed papers from the office floor.It was 6:45 PM and everyone else had already gone home. She, however, was stuck doing the lowly job of a cleaner because of that wretched pauper named Laura.“I’ll show her.” She muttered under her breath. “When this week is over, I’ll be sure to teach her a lesson she will never forget in her entire life!”As she hurried away to dump the refuse sack into the main dumpster, she stumbled on her too-high heels and a loud “crack!” reverberated through the empty halls of the office.A startled shriek escaped her lips as she flailed her arms, looking for anything to hold on to to maintain her balance. Three seconds later, she fell to the polished marble floors on her arse and pain shot through her body like a missile.“Ow! Ow, ow, owwww!” She screamed in frustration.Fiona went completely still for a few seconds, trying to recover from the painful fall. Looking down to assess the damage,
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir FORTY SIX – LYING CARMICHAELS
“And how are plans for the conference going, Luke?”Luke dropped his tumbler of half finished whiskey and gave his grandfather his full attention.“It’s going splendidly, grandpa. The hotel has been set for the guests, the underground rooms for their preparation has also been set. The hotel’s conference hall is currently being set up and arrangements for the various cuisines to be served are currently under deliberation.”Lord George nodded thoughtfully.“Wonderful, my boy. Just wonderful. I knew you would never let me down.”Luke beamed.Ever since his grandfather found him and changed his life, his only aim had been to make the old man proud. Nothing more, nothing less.“I’m aware of our unbeatable streak at The Pitch Competition, grand pa, and I assure that I will maintain that streak. We have an awesome plan for the competition this year that will ensure we not only win, but more foreign investors will be attracted to the company.”Luke’s grandfather smiled so wide, his cheeks ac
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir FORTY SEVEN — MORE TWISTS
Lord George noticed the look of panic on his grandson’s face and his brows creased with worry.The phone slipped from Luke’s grasp and landed on the desk with a resounding “thunk!” but he didn’t seem to notice. His eyes were wide and vacant and he appeared to have gone into some kind of shock.“Luke? Are you okay?” Lord George tapped him on the shoulder, snapping him out of his shocked daze.Luke jumped to his feet and shot towards the door, his grandfather hot on his heels.“Luke? Did something happen? Who was on the phone?”He came to a stop, trying to get a hold of his conflicting emotions as he turned to his grandfather.“Stay here, grandpa. There’s been a minor situation at work and I’m going over to sort it out.”Lord George’s eyes narrowed.“Well, what happened?”“Nothing you need to worry about. You just stay here and I’ll call you back, okay?”Without waiting for an answer nor looking back to see if his grandfather actually obeyed, Luke hurried downstairs and jumped into his

Detective McGregor was a tall, dark haired man with piercing blue eyes which Luke was certain could see straight into his soul.He stretched his hand for a handshake and Luke took it eagerly, pumping the man’s hand for a few seconds before letting go.“A pleasure to meet you, detective.”“Likewise.” He replied simply. He motioned towards Fiona and Nina. “Are they family? I would love to speak to you about my findings in private but if they’re family and you trust them, they can stay.”Before Luke could even open his mouth to speak, Fiona sidled up against him and linked her arm through his, giving the detective a big, wide smile. Luke, on the other hand, stared down at her in shock, momentarily at a loss of how to react.“Yes, detective. You can speak to both of us. He’s my fiancé.”Luke nearly had a seizure, but apparently, Fiona was not done talking. She motioned in Nina’s direction, her lips curling with contempt.“She, however, is not family and is not to be trusted. Detective, I
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir FORTY NINE – BEGINNING OF TROUBLE
Luke stared at the detective, his lips slightly parted in shock.“The fire was man-made?” Detective McGregor nodded.“Exactly, sir. We found traces of petrol on some unburnt parts of the building. The perpetrator or perpetrators also left behind his keg of petrol. We found it already half burnt.”Beside Luke, Fiona began to sweat and fidget nervously. “Any other thing I should know about, detective?”The detective pursed his lips.“Yes, sir. We did not find any fingerprints or personal items we could use for a DNA test. Evidence like these are rare in cases of fire outbreak but not totally impossible.This means that whoever set that fire is not an amateur. The work was too perfectly done. There are no traces whatsoever that can lead us back to him.”Luke refused to lose hope.“So is that it? Are you just gonna give up on this?”“No, of course not. This is a case of arson. A criminal offence. We’ll start our investigations from this Jimmy Petersen and see what we can find from there
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir FIFTY – BAD NEWS
Dear readers,This chapter is written in Luke’s point-of-view to give everyone an idea of Luke’s inner thoughts.Thank you for reading this far.LUKE’S POVBefore I met the Carmichael family, I never believed it was possible to develop such fierce, deadly hatred for another human being. Listening to Antoine on the phone right now, venomous hatred flooded my bloodstream.I was pretty thankful—as Antoine should be as well—that we were not within touching distance. He would’ve probably sported a broken bone or two by now.I curled my fingers around my phone until the piece of metal groaned in protest.When I spoke, my voice was harsh and gravelly.“I’m really trying to understand why you’re so deadset on sabotaging my efforts to make this conference a worthwhile one for everyone of us.” I growled. “Prior to a few days ago, you barely knew me. All of a sudden, you’re so intent on painting me black when all I’ve tried to do so far is make sure this event goes smoothly.What the fuck is yo
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir FIFTY ONE – NERVE WRACKING NEWS
LUKEThe ruling council dismissed them promptly and Luke stomped out of the room, already laying groundwork for the new event centre in his mind.The council’s threats were not to be taken lightly. His reputation and his grandfather’s name was at stake.Just as Luke was about to step into the elevator, he heard a voice call his name and came to a halt.“Luke.” Andrei called, coming to stand beside him, his expression mirroring genuine sympathy.“I’m so sorry about what happened in there.”Luke gave him a small, tight smile.“Nah. It’s okay. Everything is actually my fault, you know. I should’ve been at the event centre to personally oversee the operations myself.”Andrei shook his head in obvious disagreement.“You know that’s not…”“Why don’t you let the young man take responsibility for his actions and stop trying to lick his arse all the damn time.” Antoine sneered as he strolled past them on his way to the elevator.Luke’s blood boiled at the sight of his rival. It took quite a lo
