SIMON THE ZILLIONAIRE FROM NOWHERE 100
"Simon, there's a beautiful woman who's been looking at you since earlier, maybe for almost a minute now without blinking."Eddie furrowed his brow and glanced puzzled at West, his current position facing West again making him curious about the woman who had been staring at his back."Maybe it's a freaky girl with a fetish for someone's back?" Eddie quipped with a chuckle.West shook his head quickly. "I'm serious, Simon, and now she's walking towards us! Damn it, have you dealt with a woman in this town?"West's voice lowered, and he immediately averted his gaze to the wall to avoid the woman, who was now approaching their table. Eddie finished the last of his drink and quickly turned around, meeting the gaze of the woman West had been talking about.Eddie's expression looked stunned when he saw the woman's face. He swallowed hard and said, "Livya?"Livya smirked slyly, and her hand quickly reached Eddie's face, which he couldn't avoid."How dare you, Simon!" Livya yelled, causing ev

'How are you? You haven't messaged me for a month, do you hate me?'Jennifer's message made Eddie sigh deeply. He closed his phone screen and put it back into his bag. Eddie's eyes wandered back to the dark streets. The factory sign was already visible, indicating that they would soon arrive after nearly 4 hours of travel.And sure enough, in less than five minutes, the car carrying them stopped right in front of the factory entrance."West, we've arrived, wake up," Eddie said to his friend who was still sound asleep.With half-closed eyes, West reluctantly stepped out of the car. Eddie just shook his head as his friend stumbled out as if he were drunk."Open your eyes, you can go inside--."Eddie's sentence suddenly stopped when someone hugged him from behind."Hi, I miss you."The soft whisper came from Celine, her hand even reaching for Eddie's sensitive area."Hey, not here," Eddie muttered softly, giving a friendly smile to Celine, yet for some reason, Celine's face now seemed to

Jennifer glanced at Simon, but he was having this 'i don't care attitude'. He seemed to be fully immersed on the phone in his hands. A quiet smile slightly tilted on his lips. The two people who want a daughter and granddaughter who look like either of them. They would be surprised that the girl was going to look like him. That's if it's a girl that has just been formed. " Yes mum. I just confirmed that I am pregnant today and I know it's going to be a girl" Jennifer was confident. " Oh Daniella dear!" Cara cannot hide her surprise and happiness. She heldDaniella's hands and smiled. Simon watched them from his split vision. The two women were happy and the younger woman was being treated like a celebrity. His mother was feeling really pleased that they were getting married that weekend. She said the Freding was perfect that her granddaughter is planted in Daniella's womb at the right Frede. She told her not to stress herself nor do anything that would wear her ou

It was going to be a quiet wedding but she deserves to look sweet. She wore high strappy designer shoes and her hair was made into a bun with a few curly strands falling over her face. She wore light waterproof makeup and held a bouquet of flowers. Laura was there with her, she was going to be her bridesmaid helping her with the overflowing part of her wedding dress. Laura was looking beautiful too. She wore a milk coloured mermaid dress and block print designer shoes. Soon Tony walked in. "We have to leave now, the groom is already waiting" he said and looked at Daniella. Tony was Daniella's twin brother and he was as happy as the bride herself. He looked good in his designer's suit and Laura admired him more. "Daniella, I never knew a day like this was going to come in my life. I don't know my family, my parents or that I was a twin and had a sister. But fortune made us meet and today we got to know each other. You are important to me and I wished that one of our p

" You were the man who crushed Ye Xiaoxi that led to her death. And you accepted to murder her daughter? Or you don't know Jennifer is Ye Xiaoxi's daughter?" Tony demanded. Tony's voice was hoarse and contained a lot of bitterness. One can tell he felt bitter and angry at the fellow sitting before him. " I know but please, pardon me. Greed made me lose my conscience and I do anything for money.." Alex Si pleaded. He looked at Tony's face and bent his head down. He knew his fate was going to be determined by these men seated. He was evil in his acts and only wished that the men would be kind hearted enough to spare him. "I will be sending you to Join Ye Xiaoxi where you sent her. I am Jennifer's brother and Ye Xiaoxi's son. You killed my mother and attempted to do same to my sister and ask that I pardon you..?" Tony bellowed. Simon was furious. "Someone come, chisel out his teeth without leaving any behind. After that cut off his toes and fingers, cut his genitals an

That evening, Laura and the rest went home. Tony insisted on staying behind to monitor his aunt's condition. He was called at intervals and he checked whatever was going to be administered to her. He was staying in Simon's lounge like a VIP. He had called the city hospital and told them he wasn't going to be available for days. Considering the fact that he doesn't make excuses that much, he was given two weeks off. That evening, Simon called him and said it was his step mother Regina who had hired the killer to finish Daniella. But he would ensure that he doesn't live to see another day. Tony asked him to wait for him,he wanted to know if the fellow was the one who killed his mother. Simon waited for him and Tony arrived. Jennifer has gone to sleep and the two men went to meet Alex Si at the basement. He was tied with his hands up and dangling. He looked worn out and tired. He never knew he could be traced to the crime. Like always, he had left no clue behind. How wa

Simon said he should be shut up under the basement and fed with dry bread daily until he decides to see him. Jennifer was already sobbing. "Ah aunt Lulu, my aunt" Jennifer was sobbing. Regina was surprised at her daughter's outburst. What's the big deal with what she's done that Tiana screamed out that way. "What are you yelling about? What happened that hasn't happened before or who told you I am the first person who does such a thing? I had to do what I needed to do to Pave way for my progress. It wasn't I alone that did it, your late aunt Anita was part of it.." Molly was justifying her actions. "It is wrong mum, you killed someone else just to achieve your selfish goals, must things only go in your own direction always? You killed a woman and years later, you murdered her daughter? You have no heart mum, you are evil and I am disappointed i

Tony was sure. It wasn't an accident. Someone has targeted his sister and didn't know the fellow inside the car is not her but someone else. There are two people who are prime suspects. Her ex husband or her family, the Mo's. " I know, it wasn't an accident but a deliberate crushing. Someone wants to finish my fiance. But I will get my answers soon" Simon affirmed. Zhou' s family was contacted that he was dead. His wife and parents came to the hospital to claim his corpse. The wife was sobbing profusely. " We have three daughters, who is going to take care of us?" She said amidst sobs. Many of the employees from the Li's Group came around and took the corpse to be buried. "Take justice for my husband, President Li. He has worked with you for years and he should be treated well after his death.." Zhou's wife kneels down before Simon and holds his shoes.

“Eddie, you need to think this through,” his secretary, Lisa, urged as she shuffled through papers on his desk. “Keeping your distance from Agatha might not be the best strategy right now.”Eddie leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. “You don’t understand. I can’t afford to get too close to her, not after everything that’s happened.”“Look, I get it. But you’ve already agreed to help her with her family’s company. If you cut ties now, it’ll look suspicious,” Lisa replied, raising an eyebrow.Eddie sighed heavily. “It was a mistake to agree to that in the first place. I should have never involved myself in her family’s business.”“Eddie, this is a complicated situation. You know Agatha needs your support,” Lisa pressed, her voice steady. “She’s promised to start fresh, to make this work. You can’t just back out.”“Her promises don’t mean anything if it jeopardizes my own company,” Eddie countered, his voice rising slightly. “I have to think about my future, my business. I can’

“Eddie!” Jennifer called out as she stepped into the house, her heart racing.Eddie emerged from the kitchen, looking worn out and a little worried. “You’re back! How was your trip?”“It was beautiful, but… we need to talk,” Jennifer said, struggling to keep her voice steady.“Talk about what?” Eddie asked, leaning against the kitchen counter, sensing the tension in the air.“Andrew… he wants to marry me,” Jennifer blurted out, the words escaping before she could rein them in.Eddie’s brow furrowed. “What? You’ve got to be kidding me. You just got back from a vacation! Why would you even consider that?”“I know it sounds crazy, but he’s serious. He wants me to leave everything and be with him,” she replied, panic rising in her chest.“Leave everything? Jennifer, are you really thinking about this? What about us?” Eddie’s voice rose slightly, betraying his frustration.“I’m not saying I will! I just… I need time to figure things out,” she stammered, trying to make sense of her feelings.

Eddie leaned back in his chair, staring out the window as he waited for Agatha to arrive. The morning sun filtered through the glass, casting shadows across his desk, but the warmth offered little comfort. His mind raced with possibilities, scenarios of how this confrontation would play out. He could almost hear the tension humming in the air, a warning that things were about to get messy.When Agatha finally entered, she was all business, her heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor. Her expression was calm, but Eddie noticed a flicker of something in her eyes—nervousness, perhaps, or anticipation.“Eddie,” she greeted, her tone cool. “You wanted to see me?”“Have a seat,” he replied, gesturing to the chair across from him. He needed to maintain control, to keep the upper hand in this conversation.Agatha sat down, her posture elegant, but there was a slight tension in her shoulders. “What’s this about?”“Let’s not pretend, Agatha. You know exactly why I wanted to talk to yo

"Eddie, calm down. You're jumping to conclusions." Agatha’s voice was smooth, too smooth for Eddie’s liking. She sat across from him, legs crossed, sipping her tea as if the world wasn’t on fire.Eddie clenched his fists, barely able to control his rising anger. His office felt smaller, suffocating, as if the walls were closing in on him. “Calm down? Agatha, one of my subsidiaries just got shut down for a violation, and it happens to be the one your man, Charles, oversees. You expect me to believe that’s just a coincidence?”Agatha didn’t even flinch. She set her cup down delicately, her sharp eyes meeting his. “I understand your frustration, Eddie. But accusing me without evidence won’t solve your problem. Charles has been nothing but loyal, and whatever happened at that company was not my doing. You’re letting your emotions cloud your judgment.”Eddie’s jaw tightened. “You think this is about emotions? Agatha, I’ve been in this business long enough to know when something stinks. I j

"Jennifer, you need a break. We've both been working nonstop, and honestly, I think a vacation would do us both some good." Andrew's voice was steady but held a hint of concern as they sat across from each other in the quiet corner of a café.Jennifer stirred her coffee absentmindedly, her mind elsewhere. "I don’t know if I’m ready to go anywhere, Andrew. There’s too much going on, and I can’t just leave. Especially with everything at the office." She sighed, the weight of Frank's death still lingering in her voice, even though she had started to heal.Andrew leaned forward, his eyes locking onto hers. "You can't keep burying yourself in work, Jen. It's not healthy. You’ve been carrying a lot on your shoulders, and I get it. But you need to take care of yourself too. Just a few days away. Let’s go somewhere quiet, where you don’t have to think about business or Frank for a while."Jennifer hesitated, chewing her lip. She knew Andrew was right, but the thought of leaving everything beh

“Grace, I need to know exactly what’s going on,” Eddie demanded, pacing around his office. His voice was sharp, filled with frustration. “We can’t afford any more surprises, and this Wilford situation has already cost us enough.”Grace, sitting calmly across from him, nodded. “I understand, Mr. Cameron. I’ve already started pulling reports from the other subsidiaries. But, honestly, I think we need to have a bigger conversation about oversight. This isn’t just about Wilford anymore.”Eddie stopped pacing and turned to face her. “What do you mean?”She handed him a folder. “I’ve been digging, and there are minor discrepancies in a few other subsidiaries as well. It’s not at the level of Wilford, but it’s enough to raise concerns.”Eddie flipped through the documents, his brow furrowing deeper with each page. “How did this happen under my watch? I had systems in place, checks and balances—how did we miss all of this?”Grace gave him a sympathetic look. “Honestly, I think the company has

Eddie sat at his desk, staring at the numbers on the financial report in front of him. His heart sank as he scanned the figures again, hoping he had somehow misread the data. But there was no mistaking it—his company had taken a sharp hit, and the numbers reflected a significant loss.“This doesn’t make sense,” he muttered to himself, furrowing his brow. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed his personal secretary, Grace.Moments later, Grace appeared at the door, clipboard in hand, her face calm as ever. She was always efficient, always on top of everything, and Eddie trusted her implicitly. But today, something felt off, and he needed answers.“Grace,” he said, his voice sharp with urgency. “What’s going on with the numbers? Our revenues have dropped drastically. I need you to dig into this and find out where the problem lies.”Grace nodded, her fingers already flying over her tablet as she pulled up the latest data. “I’ll get to it right away, Mr. Cameron. I’ll have a detailed

Eddie paced back and forth in his office, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He had just read Jennifer’s text: *"We’re heading to Aruba. I’ll be fine, Eddie. Don’t worry."* His gut told him something was off, but he didn’t want to overreact—at least not yet.He opened his contacts, his thumb hovering over a few trusted names. Maybe he could ask one of them to keep an eye on Jennifer while she was away. But before he could make a decision, Agatha appeared at the doorway, her presence calm and poised.“Eddie, what’s going on?” Agatha’s voice was smooth, almost soothing. She noticed the tension in his shoulders, the way he clenched his phone like it was the last tether holding him together. Eddie exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair. “Jennifer just texted me. She’s heading to Aruba with Andrew. Something feels… wrong.”Agatha raised an eyebrow, stepping further into the room. “Aruba? With Andrew? That doesn’t sound too bad, does it?” Her voice had a lilt of casualness, a

Andrew watched Jennifer run toward the car, her decision clear as she fumbled with her phone. His face twisted in frustration, his mind racing. He had spent weeks meticulously planning this, gaining her trust, making her think he was her escape. And now, Eddie had ruined everything. His phone buzzed in his pocket, but he ignored it, clenching his fists. Jennifer had already stepped away, halfway across the tarmac, but Andrew wasn’t ready to let this go so easily. With determined steps, he caught up to her, his voice low but urgent as he reached out to grab her arm. "Jennifer, wait."Jennifer stopped, startled, but didn’t turn around immediately. She seemed to wrestle with herself, not quite pulling away from him yet. Andrew took that as a sign to keep going."Just listen to me," Andrew urged, trying to soften his tone. "You don’t have to believe anything Eddie says. He’s trying to confuse you, make you doubt your own decisions."Jennifer shook her head, her voice barely above a whis
