Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 105: What is beneath the basement???
Before leaving for bed, Elsa suddenly remembered something important. “Hold on,” she called out to Felix for his attention, “Felix have you called them to check on their well-being and progress?”Felix quickly understood and smirked immediately. Raising an eyebrow, he feigned ignorance. “Them? Who are these 'them?'” “Don't even act like you don't know what I'm talking about,” Elsa hit his arm playfully. “I mean 'them'! Look, they are out there fighting for the rights of their deceased ones, most of them are weak, yet you guys didn't bother to call them to know how far they've gone??? That's so irresponsible!” Felix smirked, “I can only wonder the reactions of those scheming associates and their boss when they hear tommorow's breaking news.”Elsa shook her head, "You're missing the point. Those family members need our support and encouragement. We need to do better."Felix nodded, "You're right. I'll call them first thing in the morning."*In a rowdy clubhouse, three girls made thei
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 106: Don't say a word!!
As Felix and Jake drove to work, he looked out of the window and noticed he city was booming and unexpectedly lively. What was the reason?But suddenly, the traffic light that was showing red made him halt immediately. Felix sat in traffic, drumming his fingers impatiently. A delay this early morning, and for what? Looking to his left, sidewalks flooded with an sea of signs and banners advertising a mayoral candidate he barely knew - Bartholomew D'Angelo. Curious, Felix opened his window and waved to get the attention of a nearby campaigner. "Who is this D'Angelo running for mayor?" Felix asked. "The best leader this city's ever seen!" the campaigner cried enthusiastically. "Bartholomew D'Angelo will bring real change to our great city after years of stagnation. Progress, jobs, safer streets - all within his first hundred days!" Felix's frown deepened at the gushing praise and empty promises. Another populist politician using charm and charisma to mask a lack of real substance or
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 107: Drug dealing beneath???
Felix's brow furrowed in confusion, memories clicking into place. Elsa had mentioned a Jen, or Jennifer - an employee she was quite close with. Could it be the same woman? And if so, did Elsa know about this?Felix tried to stay fair-minded and not jump to conclusions. Although the evidence suggested Jen was guilty, he believed they needed to hear her perspective. “Let's not forget that we have not actually heard Jennifer's side of the story,” he said slowly. "We should consider if this was planned or if she acted in self-defense. We need to explore all options before making a conclusion."His father smiled, pride gleaming in his eyes. "Well reasoned, my son. It seems I have taught you well after all. I saw everything that happened on the news, how did you do that in such a short amount of time!?!? It was like all of Alejandro's associates were wiped out!”Felix smiled wryly in return. “Nothing much, I just convinced the families of the victims in the fire incident to understand t
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 108: He is also a Kim!!!
Elsa's mind was horribly blown. Drug dealers operated beneath her company???? What sort of thing was that!! If the police found that, she could get arrested and prosecuted for aiding them!“This is so frustrating!” She cried in annoyance, caressing her forehead.But nobody noticed Jake who had been silent since. His mind was working and he was evaluatiing and reevaluating things. But he didn't want to some across as paranoid and lead the group astray. But still, he knew he couldn't keep quiet forever. Finally, he spoke up, "Guys, remember the footage we watched? I didn't tell you something else that I noticed while watching it."The group turned to him, curious. Jake hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I heard something above Alejandro's base. It sounded like industrial activities going on above it. It was like there was a company close by or..." he trailed off, unsure if he should share his suspicions."Or directly above it," Elsa finished, her voice trembling with fear. "Let'
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 109: Proven Tragically Correct
Alejandro paced his chamber, fury still pulsating through his veins. Suddenly, an idea came to him - one that might appease his thirst for vengeance. He went in and came it a few minutes later looking all neat, formal and elegant in black suit, tie and loafers. He called out to his assistant, Willow. “I going to meet with Kimber Kim.”Willow was quite surprised at his boss's request. “Why?” Alejandro threw a glance his way before letting out a huge scoff accompanied by a smirk. “It's about the past.... and the future.”**In the night, Elsa led the way down the stairs to the company basement, Felix and Jake following closely behind. "I still can't believe something this sinister could be happening right under my nose," Elsa said, worry and guilt lacing her voice. “What more, I still can't believe I'm actually doing this!”"Let's just focus on finding out the truth first," Felix reassured her. “Whoever is behind this clearly went to great lengths to keep it hidden.”They reached t
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 110. Long-forgotten bonds
In a fleeting moment, it seemed as though they were finally gaining the upper hand.Felix forcefully swung a metal pipe at a thug, but his attention was abruptly diverted when Jake cried out, "Guys, look!"Felix and Elsa turned to see a fresh wave of thugs emerging from the shadows. These were heavily armed with rifles, shotguns, and automatics.They were the same group originally dispatched by Alejandro to eliminate Felix and his associates by any means necessary, as per Alejandro's orders. However, upon leaving the base, they received word that Felix and his group had come to the company and were infiltrating their hideout, taking down all of their men.Felix muttered a curse under his breath, his breathing labored as he panted. "Well, this just got a whole lot more complicated."One of the armed thugs sneered. "Well, well, well, what do we have here? What a mighty presence in our midst! The boss said to take you out in any way possible. So, okay, let's have some fun!"Suddenly, th
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 111: Sad memories
In his teenage years, Alejandro developed an unhealthy obsession with drugs and the thrill they provided. He began experimenting heavily with cocaine and other substances, delving deeper into their world.He kept his drug use a secret from the family, confident that he could keep it secret and maintain the façade until he inherited the company.Though Kimber always wondered why Alejandro kept mentioning ‘until he inherited the company’, he never voiced it out and always kept silent about his suspicions.But, as time passed by, he became increasingly certain that Alejandro was surely up to something. Something disastrous.And that was when everything started.Kimber Kim recalled the night he found Alejandro in a drug-fueled rage few days before the handover date, his eyes now wild and threatening. He was on the phone with someone and he was muttering out some frantic and urgent words to the person on the phone about his true plan. Kimber Kim listened intently, and the words became cle
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 112: Into hiding
Felix stumbled, almost falling before Jake caught him. "Careful!" They turned another corner, emerging into a larger open space. "There!" Jake said, pointing to an old metal ladder leading up to a trapdoor. "This must lead outside, climb!"Felix and Elsa scrambled up the ladder as fast as he could, Jake right behind them. He pushed the trapdoor open, helping Jake and Elsa through. They emerged into an overgrown courtyard, the hideout now shrouded in the cover of night. Shouts and flashlight beams were still visible through the doors and windows. Elsa looked around, surprised at the sight. The place looked totally different from the location of her company... In fact, it seemed as if the hideout had nothing to do with her company. This might probably explained why Alejandro and his men never knew anything about the place they were beneath, after all, there a lot of tunnels that would lead to the outside world without having to come in through her company."Go, go, go!" Felix said,

197: When realization hits
Without hesitation, Felix lunged forward, wrapping his hand around Elsa and pulling her down behind a table, just as gunfire erupted in the small room. Bullets ricocheted off the furniture, sending splinters flying from it. “Get down!” Felix yelled, pulling Elsa closer, feeling her body press against his. He could feel her reaching into his pockets as he returned fire, the sound of gunshots ringing in his ears. “Don’t tell me you didn’t bring me a spare gun! What am I going to use?!” Elsa shot at him when she noticed his pocket empty, her eyebrow raised in disbelief and a hint of frustration on her face. She felt like slapping him for forgetting something so important, her annoyance mixed with adrenaline. Felix glanced at her, guilt and exasperation on his face. He wanted to kick himself for not being more prepared. “Never mind,” she waved her hand sharply and began looking around the cluttered room for something that could help. The guards shouted commands to each other, tryin
196: Freeze!
Felix smirked as the heat washed over him. But the smirk vanished immediately; he didn’t have time to celebrate. He dashed down the corridor, taking the stairs two at a time, heading toward the floor where he suspected Elsa might be held.Reaching the upper level, he paused, his breath coming in sharp bursts. His eyes fell on a door marked “Staff Only.” He approached cautiously and leaned in closer, straining to listen for any signs of life on the other side. The silence was deafening.He placed his ear against the door, concentrating hard to hear anything on the other side. Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the hall. Felix's pulse quickened. He had to get inside, now. With a swift kick, he forced the door open and slipped inside, closing it quietly behind him.The room was dimly lit and filled with old furniture and dusty boxes. There was a table in the center of the room. His eyes scanned the space, everywhere, searching for any clue that Elsa was there. She had

“Shit!” Panic flooded him.He promised Felix he would ensure to keep anyone away from that area because he would be there. His mind raced as he quickly walked to him, blocking his view.As he got closer, he noticed the guard stiffen and frown in confusion. The guard paused and glanced behind Vito, looking sharp and on edge, as if he sensed something was wrong. He had heard the noise.“Is something wrong?” Vito asked, trying to sound casual and composed.The guard turned to him, his face darkening as he squinted. “Who are you?” he asked, his voice low and filled with suspicion. Vito noticed the guard's hand moving toward his weapon, fingers twitching as he assessed the situation.Vito stood up straight. “I’m the managing director of Vasley Group,” Vito said, keeping his voice calm and confident. A small smirk appeared on his lips.The guard's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly relaxed, bowing his head. Fear and respect flickered across his face.“I'll ask again: is something wro

Felix walked down a grand flight of stairs, the sound of his footsteps echoing softly in the hallway as he headed for the backdoor. “Vito?” He called into the airpod, keeping his voice low but clear.“Yes, Boss,” he replied through the receiver.Felix paused for a moment and glanced over his shoulder to see if anyone was watching him closely. “The floor opposite the rear exit. Guard that area. Ensure no one goes closer, if anything seems wrong, alert me right away.”“Yes, Boss,” he responded.Felix took a deep breath and began to move, continuing down the stairs. He took long strides towards the rear exit, ensuring to avoid any guards around him.He decided to go on this mission alone to not raise suspicion so he let Jake attend the event in place of him. As he opened the door, he spotted a CCTV above, on the wall. Immediately, he grabbed a plank and swung it against it, hitting it several times.The lens shattered, sending bits of plastic flying.With the camera out of the way, he

They drifted to the edge of the ballroom.“Where's Elsa now?” Jen asked in a hushed tone once they were out of earshot, feeling nervous.Jake shook his head grimly. “Felix is still looking, but no word yet.” Vito looked around the ballroom, carefully observing everyone mingling and discussing. He didn't see any sign of Diane Fox among the wealthy and glamorous guests. He frowned slightly and discreetly waved over one of the nearest Vasley employees.He leaned in close so he could be heard over music. “Excuse me, have you seen Miss Diane? I didn't notice her with the Fox family earlier.”The worker shrugged without much interest. “Last I saw, she ran off the moment she got in. Probably hiding and crying in one of the empty sitting rooms, if you ask me.”Vito frowned in thought. He quickly sent a short message to Felix:“Diane is missing from the main event. Employee thinks she's hiding alone in an empty room. Let me know what you want to do next.”After sending the message, Vito put
191: Handled the attention perfectly
“It would take a while to recover from this hit,” Jake remarked as they sat in the car, watching the hectic scene happening on the red carpet through the tinted windows.Jen looked out at the flashing lights and swarming paparazzi. She turned to him. “Even worse since Glitz and Glamour is leading now.” She had a satisfied smile on her face. Jake glanced over at her. "Are you ready to step out?" he asked. "The attention might be overwhelming."Jen took a slow, deep breath to calm her nerves. Being at the center of attention was scary. “As long as it's for Ma'am Elsa. So, yeah,” she said, arranging her dress and clutching her purse. Jake gave a subtle nod and got out of the car, then hurried around to open her door, offering his hand. Jen grabbed it gratefully with a smile as she stepped out.She held a confident smile, allowing her aura to radiate as she headed to the red carpet.A reporter in the front spotted her and did a double take, shocked to recognize her. "Isn't that the P.A

The incident had blown up really nice, and she knew it would cost an arm and a leg for damage control. Not that Vasleys were not up to the task, but they knew how hard it would be. She went back into the room, completing her makeup. She spent over half an hour carefully twisting and winding her hair into an elegant style on top of her head. She used pretty pins in red and shiny silver colors to match her accessories for the evening. The style highlighted her beauty. She realized just how much she had glowed up after the arrest and smiled.Stepping back from the mirror, she picked up the blue dress. The shiny satin material shimmered under the light. Small crystals were sewn neatly along the fitted top part. “This definitely fits the theme,” she smiled as she began to wear the dress. It went all the way to the floor, flattering her. She arranged all she needed and began to walk outside.She looked up and down the quiet sidewalk for Jake as she adjusted the thin straps on her shoulde

Within minutes, the first posts started appearing on social media from accounts of Vasley employees about Diane Fox and Jericho's son, Jerry Vasley, doing drugs together.An idol from Vasley Entertainment uploaded several photos with the caption "Friends having fun at a party #oops". The pictures showed Diane, Jerry and several others passed out or engaged in drunken kissing. Meanwhile, Vito shared one of the more explicit videos on his profile. As people started watching, the comments rolled in. "Whoa is that the CEO's son?! Not a good look..."
