Rise Of The Penniless Trillionaire Chapter 25
Jason followed after Beverly. Since she told him off, he had not seen her in school for two days and he had been bothered about her. He asked Caleb about it and he said that the principal informed them that she was absent and had not given her any reason.He called her phone immediately and when she answered, she sounded as though she was troubled about something."Didn't you go to work?" He asked her."I did not. I had something to do," she replied curtly with a demeanor that was not hers. He knew that something was wrong, but he wanted to be told when she was ready. He did not want to press her. "What was it that you had to do?" He asked her calmly. She was quiet for a while, as though she would not speak to him again. "Damian," she began. "There is something that I need to tell you and you may hate me for this," she said."What is it?" He asked her sharply, knowing within himself that whatever it was, he was willing to forgive her. Just then, he heard the voice of a little boy

As the day of the party drew closer, Jason was suddenly nervous. He was not sure he was ready to become chairman with the livelihood of over seventy thousand employees in his hands. Preparations were going on, and their house was a beehive of activities. His father wanted everything to be perfect, but Emilia took the work into her own hands. She hired ten event planners, excluding their designers. She hired a team of designers to style her, her husband, and her children. She was not thinking about Jason, who was the star of the occasion, or she just wanted to ignore him. He had met her son on two separate occasions, and they had been cool with each other, but she was not in support of their relationship. She always scolded him when she saw her son talking to him, but Jacob, her son, thought that Jason was a good role model, juggling work and school together.On the other hand, Miranda, her daughter, had a silly crush on him, and she had approached him on one occasion and told him

Jason soon ended his speech and the whole room roared into applause for him. His father was the first person that came to hug him once he was done. There was a proud smile on his face as he introduced him to his top business partners, people that he had probably seen before, from all walks of life.Throughout the process of exchange of pleasantries, his eyes scanned the room for Beverly. He was watching her every move, including when she grabbed a glass of champagne from a glass that a waiter carried. His father's friends could not stop introducing him to their daughters. It was as though they were sampling different types of meat before him for him to choose. He was irritated but the smile on his face did not disappear.Once he had done as his father wanted and the guests were busy with their discussions, he walked up to where Beverly stood."Well, if it is not the youngest richest businessman in the state," she began as she glanced in his direction."I did not expect to see you

Jason was taken aback by Cecilia's presence. He knew that her parents were quite influential but he did not know them in person. This coincidence was one that he was not prepared for but he did not let the smile disappear from her face. "Jason, I hear that you and Cecilia go to the same college," her father began."I guess I have seen her face once or twice in school," Jason replied. "You know, I don't need to have so many friends at school because of work," he added and they all laughed. "Can you believe that Cecilia was once dating a broke boy that could barely take care of her?" Her father continued. There was an amused expression on Jason's face as he looked at Cecilia who seemed a bit embarrassed at that moment."Everyone rises someday," Jason said. "You should not have underestimated the young man," he added."I guess that is too late now because she ended things with him, and she has been saying that she likes you a lot," her father continued."At what point do you open you

Jason thought that if Alex was in his house at that hour, it would be a good time to apologize for how he had spoken earlier. He ventured into the house to see his father sipping on a glass of wine by the kitchen counter. He was not expecting to see his father in his apartment. The events of the evening played out in his head, and he knew that his father was not pleased. He did not know if he would get scolded, grounded, or threatened. Cecilia's father seemed like a good friend to him."Dad," Jason called out as he approached his father. He drew out a bench and kept it at a distance before he sat down. He might just be expecting a slap, and he was not sure what to think any longer. When he looked up at his father, he could not read his expression, and Jason thought he would have a hard time knowing if he was mad or not."Where are you coming from?" Mr. Abbott began as he put down the phone he had been busy with and looked up at his son."I had to take a friend of mine home," Jas

Jason's head was still spinning when he finished his morning meeting. Luckily for him, it was a virtual one, and he could take breaks at intervals. He had woken up with a little headache, but he still insisted on getting ready for work because of the meeting very early in the morning.He lay on the sofa in his office and shut his eyes to see if his headache could be reduced. Alex came in just then. He had noticed how incapacitated Jason had been since he came to get him from home."Are you okay, sir?" Alex asked him as he reached out to feel Jason's forehead. He was surprised that he was already running a fever. "I will call the doctor right away," he said as he proceeded to make the call."Don't worry about that," Jason said firmly. He had a big meeting later in the day, one that he could not afford to miss. "Just get me some painkillers and some fruit juice," he said. Even though Alex knew that it was not the best decision, he had decided that he would not question Jason's decis

As soon as Jason's eyes fluttered open, he made a weak attempt to get up from the bed he was on but fell back on the bed. He looked around. He was familiar with the environment already. It looked like his apartment, but he did not know what was happening. The last he remembered was that he was at dinner with his family and a few friends of his father. The throbbing headache was still present, but he was glad that there was an improvement in how he felt compared to earlier.He looked up, and Alex was standing by him, looking down at him. "I'm glad you are awake," Alex said. "Let me get the doctor." It was at this point that he noticed that he had infusions attached to him. "What about my father?" Jason asked. "He is talking with the doctor outside. It was as though Jason summoned his father because he stepped in at that moment with the doctor. "You should have said something to me about the workload," Mr. Abbott began, obviously worried about his son. There was a sense of unse

Jason was still looking at Cecilia, who had barged into his room unannounced, when Alex came in as well. "I'm so sorry about this, sir. I just went to run an errand for a minute," Alex said."So this is the reason why you have been stalling about me getting in?" Cecilia asked Alex. Jason signaled Alex to leave, as he knew that Cecilia would be adamant about leaving even if he asked her to. Beverly climbed off the bed and wanted to head out of the room, but he held her back and asked her to sit, making Cecilia chuckle in disbelief. "What are you doing here?" He asked her."My father said you were unwell and said that I needed to see you," Cecilia said. It was obvious that she was bored. However, it seemed like there was something new that she could feast on. "As you can see, I am fine, and I do not need pampering," he said firmly."And I am guessing that it is because you have company, right?" She said this as she paced slowly in his room. He marveled at her audacity. It was prob

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

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

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 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

Chapter 200
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
