Rise Of The Penniless Trillionaire Chapter 35
As he read through the headlines again, his heart shattered into a thousand pieces. College professor indulges in an affair with the billionaire heir, Jason AbbottHe scrolled down, and the news was splashed with photos of him and Beverly from the restaurant. His disguise did not help at all. They noticed that it was him already. It was not just in the news, but it was in the blogs as well. The entire internet was ablaze with pictures of him and Beverly, not just in the restaurant, but at school when he had discussions with her. There was no escaping this, as the picture was more than enough evidence. He looked at Alex for some saving, as usual, but he had nothing to say this time. He seemed to be more concerned about the endless calls and message notifications that kept buzzing nonstop for Jason. Jason, on the other hand, was more concerned about Beverly. He picked up his phone and called her immediately. She did not answer despite the endless ringing. "Is there a way that I

Jason tossed on his bed continuously. He was so restless and could not sleep as he kept thinking of what he would do. The board had agreed, and he was going to do the press release to clear his name. Nobody was thinking about Beverly. She was not their problem, and her reputation or career did not matter so much to them. The company and the entire empire were their priorities. He was torn between two options either going on with the press release or choosing Beverly. He did not know what his father would do if he refused to do the press release. He would probably be disowned, and everything would be taken from him. He will return to the harsh life that he so detested, the one where he had to endure bouts of frustration and rejection. It bothered him so much. That was not an option for him at all. The thought of even getting engaged to Cecilia irritated him so much. He could not imagine the victorious smile on her face if he decided to push on with the conference. As he g

Beverly rolled on her bed from one end to another. It was difficult to be comfortable and act like nothing was bothering her. She was almost going crazy about the events of the past few weeks. It had been almost a week since Jason's press release, and at the moment, she was even ashamed to greet her neighbors. Her face was all over the news as Jason's slut, and it was difficult for her to control the narrative.Everybody would believe Jason over her, and she could understand where the notion came from. She was a single, broke mother, and nobody regarded her at all. Jason, on the other hand, was a billionaire who had everybody wrapped around his fingers because of what he could afford. He had probably even bought the conscience of the media. Today was a Monday morning, and it was the first day of school after the summer break.After the press release, the college sent her an email that said that they were aware of the entire scandal and could not condone the damage it did to the

Jason busied himself with the mini golf course in his office as he waited for the next report on Beverly. He knew already that she was staying with his brother and that she was safe. He knew where she was already, but he dreaded going to see her.When he heard footsteps approaching the office, he braced himself to receive the recent information. Instead, it was Caleb who came in. His countenance changed immediately. "You were not expecting me, right?" Caleb asked him. He kept the golf stick by the side of the door aside and went to sit down. "I just thought it was Alex," he said as he scrambled frantically and uninterestedly through a file. Caleb just watched him, as he already knew what was on his friend's mind."Instead of using all your resources to know what she is doing every minute, I think that you should just go and see her," Caleb suggested."I don't think that she wants to see me," Jason said. He was not even going to pretend that he did not know what Caleb was talking a

Caleb was more concerned about finding out who was responsible for Jason's sabotage than he was about getting Beverly the job Jason wanted to offer her. It was not that he was too concerned about Beverly. He had warned Jason not to go ahead with his agenda because it was going to possibly lead to this issue. He was more concerned about Jason, his best friend, who had suddenly grown cold since he learned that Beverly was struggling and out of a job.He was determined to confirm his doubts that it was Cecilia who took those photos and sent them to the media. All he needed to do was get her phone, and in a minute or less, he would have every piece of information on it transferred to his laptop. When he got to school that morning, he approached Cecilia, who was surprised that he wanted to talk to her. "Jason said that I should ask you the color of the dress you would prefer for your engagement party," he lied, as he had already run out of viable options on what to say to her. Her fa

Beverly woke up earlier than usual and began getting ready for the interview she had. She had been so desperate to get her hands on a job that it did not matter what position she would have to undertake. She was prepared regardless.She had done her research about the company that had reached out to her. She had reluctantly put her CV out there, even though she had been pessimistic about getting any reply. The company was a prestigious one, and even the janitor was earning more than her salary as a college professor for a month. She wondered what had struck them so much about her CV. It was probably just good luck.Sammy was the happier one of the two of them. When she told him about the mail, he was the one who typed her acceptance letter for the interview and took her out later at night for drinks. As she got ready, he came in with a tray that contained some breakfast delicacies. "I never knew you still had money to spare for this," she teased him. "Well, I know that you are

A surge of hate and regret pierced through Beverly as she saw Jason standing before her. She could not believe that she had fallen prey to one of his numerous antics that he had been trying to reach her with for the longest time. "You have to be kidding me," she blurted out and turned around immediately to leave. He held her back immediately and turned her around. "What do you want from me?" She asked him with a surge of emotion. "Have you not done enough damage to my life already?" She asked him again. He just looked on at her. "I just want to help," Jason said with a wave of defenselessness. "I have made it clear to you on numerous occasions that I don't want your help," she said to him. "I know that what I did was wrong, and here I am trying to right my wrongs," he continued, making an effort to ignore her agitation. "I am not interested, Jason, because you are doing it the wrong way," she said."Then tell me how to do it right," he said, reaching out to her and looking her

Once Jason answered his phone, Beverly broke down crying. Recently, she has not been able to say much. She cried most of the time, and this time was not an exception. He did not stop her from crying, but he allowed her to. He let her be because he felt like there was some sort of burden she carried about and he did not like to see her holding so much in."Can you come to the office?" He finally asked her. She had told him that she did not want him to know where she stayed or what she did. He did not want to press her by asking her where she was at that time. She asked Sammy to take her to Jason's office, which he did immediately. She was only thinking about her son the entire time. She had not been away from him for more than two days in his life. When she got to the company, the receptionist saw her again and went to meet her this time. She helped her get to Jason's office without any protocol interrupting her. When she got to his office, he was facing the window, and immediate

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
