Rise Of The Penniless Trillionaire Chapter 196
The news was everywhere in the papers, and on television, and was even carried by some blogs about what had been done. Everyone was talking about it, and social media was buzzing with the information. After the death of Evian the previous day, Jason had plans when he asked for the body to be disposed of. He instructed Gustavo on exactly what to do, and by the following morning, the deed was done. Evian's dead body was hanging on the billboard of one of the most popular cinemas in the heart of the city. There was a sign on a board that was hung around his neck. It read, “I am a horrible man and I was responsible for the mass killing and poisoning of students yesterday. This is my reward.” “Jason, have you seen the news?” Laura hollered at him as soon as he answered the phone that morning. It was her calls that had woken him up after a long night. “I'll check it right away and call you back,” he said sleepily before he hung up. He grabbed the remote immediately and turned on the televi

Jason was about to dash out of the hospital before he saw Jasmine coming in. He would have followed another route to avoid speaking to her but she was already walking towards him. He kept his head down in an attempt to ignore her, but she was not going to back off. “Jason,” she called out as she got to where he was. He lifted his head to look at her but did not say anything. “You cannot continue to ignore me,” she sulked. “I don't want to talk to you right now. I have a meeting to attend,” he said as he walked past her and out of the hospital. Emilia had told him that she had been coming to see Jason at the hospital since the surgery, and had even gotten him a few things. Jason could only think that she was trying to atone for the terrible thing that she had done. Gustavo was already waiting for him outside the hospital. Jason could not fathom how safe he felt around Gustavo, who was always alert and ready to act on instructions as swiftly as possible. “Good job,” Jason said to him a

It rained heavily on the morning of Evian's burial, and the time was shifted for a while. After his body was abandoned at the mortuary, it took a lot of convincing for Klaus to finally ask for a burial. Evian had no family after all and there was no one else to do so. Jason stood in a corner, dressed in his long black coat. He had added a black hat for more effect. The room was already full of people and he did not intend to communicate with anyone. “I thought you were not going to come,” Klaus said as he approached him. “I said I was not sure if I could make it. I had an important meeting scheduled for this morning and I have to be on my way soon,” Jason corrected. “What do you think about this common enemy that is messing with our lives?” Klaus asked him. “We are not sure if it is a common enemy. It might just be loose ends on our part that give the enemy a chance of penetration,” Jason began. “We have grown so confident that we have suddenly let our guard down.” Klaus was silent a

As Jason sat in the plane and headed back to where he came from, he thought about how much of a close shave it was with Rasheed. He was not expecting to see him at all. He kept wondering if Rasheed was the amazing man that Zahrah was talking about. If he was, then he has succeeded in deceiving her. He wondered if she was aware of the kind of business that he did. She probably did not know that the man that she adored so much was a drug Lord, and was a member of a deadly cult. She had to be ignorant about it because, from what he saw, Zarah was so much of a good woman to have anything to do with a man like Rasheed. He soon got to the airport and when he did, he decided that he would head to the office first. Laura needed first-hand information on what had happened. As he entered her office, she was searching his face for some information, but he succeeded in maintaining a blank expression. He took a seat first before he broke into a smile. “Was it good news?” She asked him. “I signed

Jason stood up from bed very early, as he had a long day ahead of him. It had been three weeks since Jacob had been released from jail, and just like he had promised, he decided that he would give Jacob an orientation to the family business. Daphne was still very fast asleep when he was done dressing for work. He could not blame her at all. She had been awake for some time during the night to cater to a crying Benjamin. After the nurse left, it had been difficult for her to adjust to taking care of the baby alone. At some point, it was as though she was getting frustrated with the responsibility that she was saddled with and she would start crying. When he noticed that, he would usually offer her a helping hand so that she would not feel abandoned or frustrated. She appreciated his support. It showed in the way she embraced him or the way she kissed him. Jason walked up to the bed and planted a kiss on her forehead, causing her to stir in her sleep. “I'm off to work, baby. You know I

Jason was confused about what to do next at the moment. He kept trying to call her as he dashed to the elevator that led to the penthouse they occupied in the mansion. He prayed that by some miracle, Daphne was upstairs and sleeping peacefully with their son. That would give him so much relief. But when he got there, the room was empty. He went ahead to look into the bathroom but there was no one there. His heart began to thump loudly as he rushed downstairs again. Gustavo was waiting for him when he came downstairs. “I can't find Daphne and the baby,” Jason blurted out in a worrisome voice before Gustavo could even ask him what was wrong. “I had two of my men follow her to the hospital. Let me try to call them,” Gustavo said as he took out his phone. He was so calm, as though he was very confident that there was nothing wrong with them. Gustavo called them over and over again but none of them answered. He began to get worried as well. “This is very unusual,” Gustavo muttered as he

Jason clicked on the speaker button on the phone so that everyone could hear what the caller was going to say. The line was silent for a while, and Jason thought that it was just a prank call. “Hello Jason,” a familiar voice finally came on the line. It did not take him long to figure out who was on the line. He could detect Angelina's voice in a crowd. It was too deep for a female voice. “I am guessing that by now, you are shaken with fright at the disappearance of your wife and daughter,” she said with some kind of amusement in her voice. Her audacity annoyed him so much. “Angelina, I swear, if anything happens to them, you are going to regret it,” Jason fired at her. Ben immediately signaled him not to say anything again, so that they would not provoke her. Jason did not seem to care at all. He was just angry. “I would not be making threats if I were you,” she said. “You have no idea where I am or where your wife and child are, so I would be quiet and cooperate if I were you,” she

Jason got into the car, took a deep breath, and took out his phone to place a call to Angelina. Even though she had sent someone to monitor him as he drove to the address, she still asked him to be on a video call the entire time, to ensure that no one was in the car with him. He was getting exhausted from her rules, but he had to comply because of his family. She had proof that she was with them, and he was the only one that could rescue them. Gustavo had thought up a brilliant plan, and things were already in place, giving Jason added confidence. He was not too sure that his plan would work out, but in the end, he blamed it on the nerves. He started the car and began to drive without taking one more look at the screen, where Angelina was watching him. “You are cute by the way,” she began when the tense silence had lasted for a while. “I have envisioned you in my bed a couple of times, not gonna lie,” she continued. Jason swallowed hard at this statement. He was already disgusted. A

On the day Daphne was discharged from the hospital, she decided that she wanted to go see her father in jail. Jason suggested against it, but she was not willing to comply. She had her reasons and when she persisted, he let her be. She took her child with her as well, and Jason's hands were tied as he knew that their relationship was stiff at the moment. There was no need to aggravate it.“At least allow me to come with you so that I can keep an eye on you and the baby,” she offered. “I want to do this on my own. I have my reasons,” she said to him. “And before you act stupid, don't ask any of your men to follow me,” she added before she got into the waiting car. She knew however that he would not just let her go like that without company. She could already see two cars following after her at a reasonable distance, but she did not mind. She needed the protection anyway.&nb

Jason waited until it was nightfall before he headed to the safehouse where Gustavo had kept Angelina. He wanted to be as discreet as possible, and Gustavo had been high on surveillance since Jason told him what they needed to do. When they got to the safehouse, another round of surveillance was done before the door of the car was opened for him to come down. He headed to the front door and headed to the stairs that led to the basement.Angelina was tied to a chair in the relatively empty and spacious basement, and it was a bit chilly, so she was asleep. He stood at a reasonable distance before her and stared at her for a while. It was almost unbelievable to him that she was at his mercy at this time. She was supposed to be the most powerful woman in the state, but she was crippled at his mercy.“Wake her up,” he finally ordered. A bucket of wat

The meeting that Klaus called for was one that Jason did not want to attend. It was as though there was something that he harbored within him, a kind of guilt that washed over him. However, he knew that if he did not attend, Klaus would be highly suspicious because he had a fallout with Angelina. One more seat was empty when he got to the venue. It was Angelina's seat, and the table was quiet, as Siman and Rasheed were not so much of the talkers. As expected, Klaus was unhappy, but this time, he was not pacing about like one without a purpose. He was just sitting quietly, as though he was in deep thought. Jason took his seat and stayed silent as well. He did not intend to break the silence that had ensued, so he just kept his cool. “I have not seen or heard from Angelina in four days,” Klaus began. “I have sent her a ton of messages, and I cannot get to her assistant as well.” Gustavo had made sure that there was a heavy massacre in the warehouse that day. He made sure that none of A

Jason woke up with a start and looked around him. A wave of relief overshadowed him as he discovered that he was in his bedroom. He looked to the side and saw that there was a drip bag attached to his hand. As he attempted to lift his hand, a sharp pain shot through his arm and his shoulder, forcing him to let out a loud groan and fall back on the bed. He soon began to recall what had happened the previous night, and all the events came rushing back at him. It made him panic as he did not see Daphne or the baby in the bedroom with him. He struggled to get up again and pulled away the drip on his hand. He stood up and attempted to walk out. He wobbled and landed on the floor, causing a loud noise. The door opened and Gustavo walked in to help him get back on the bed. Jason closed his eyes in exhaustion. “I decided to bring you home because I did not think that you would like the attention that staying in the hospital would cause you,” Gustavo began. “That's a very good decision,” Jaso

“First of all, I want you to start with the way you took Maxwell down,” she began, and Jason glanced at Daphne, who seemed to be listening keenly as well. She would be so disappointed. “Oh! She does not know?” Angelina asked. “Can you just stop?” Jason asked her. “So, the woman that you claim to love is not aware that you are the one that put her father in jail, and soiled her family reputation, right?” She continued. “I'm not going to say anything about that,” Jason sounded firm. He did not intend to spill, and he was not just making up his mind at the moment. He had decided not to spill anything since he left his house. He saw how desperate she was for his confession, and he wanted to use that to his advantage. “Before I say anything, I would like you to tell me what manner of business you run here,” he said as he leaned in. “My merchandise is none of your business,” she said to him. “Well, if you need my confession, then you have to explain what this business is all about because
