Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 114: special way
Elsa could sense that there was more to Jen's story, but she didn't want to push her too much. Instead, she decided to give her some space and time to open up when she felt comfortable."Take all the time you need, Jen," Elsa said softly. "I'm here for you, no matter what."Jen nodded, her eyes flickering. "Thank you, Ma'am Elsa. I appreciate everything you're doing for me."The two women sat in silence for a while, lost in their own thoughts. Elsa could feel that Jen was probably still hiding something, but she didn't want to jump to conclusions and start being overly skeptical. She just dismissed it as the trauma of her deceased fiancé's torture and death.As they sat there, Elsa suddenly felt her phone buzz in her pocket. She pulled it out and saw a message from Felix."Hey, any updates on Jen? Did she say anything about Tyler's murder?"Elsa hesitated for a moment before responding. "Not yet. She's actually at the second unit of our duplex now. Should I bring her to our unit?"Fel
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 115: What is the plan?
Kimber Kim paced furiously in his home, agitation, worry and panic filling him all at once. He had hired the best private investigators in the country to find out where Alejandro must ran into to hide, but none of them had found him yet.Above all, he was concerned about Felix's safety. He knew he recklessly allowed his son to pursue the case thinking it was just going to be easy, but now, he deeply regretted his actions. Alejandro was worse than he had thought.But one thing seemed amiss. And that was the same question he'd been asking himself all these while. Who could've been funding Alejandro? The last time he checked, which was so many years ago, their late grandfather had cut Alejandro off from the family's wealth, even seizing his bank account.But even after doing that, Alejandro still managed to build up his own empire from nothing. There's no doubt that someone, or something could have had his back from the background.Who, or what was that?But anyway, for the meantime, he
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 116:. Revenge in disguise
Beneath Elsa's Glitz and Glamour company, some activities could be seen carried out. Some groups of men were taking and lifting things out of the base, taking them out through the passage that led to the tunnel.Just then, a group of disinfectant personnels highlighted from a van outside one of the entrances of the tunnels. Taking their pipes connected to gas containers in their hands along with them, they proceeded to enter inside the underground building, face masks covering their noses fully, as they entered.But before they could make their way through the entrance, a set of bulky armed thugs cornered them, preventing them from getting in.“Snake, search them,” one of them, the one that looked more imposing than the others said, glaring into them.Three burly men stepped forward from the back, before walking closer to start searching all of the disinfecting team.They checked every possible place on their body for any sign of foreign devices, but they were not finding anything. O
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 117: No regret
After Felix, Jake and Elsa finally dropped the families off, they went back to their home to relax, exhausted. They had finally achieved another milestone and succeeded.However, no one noticed all the evidence they had gathered so far which was already enough to bring Alejandro to justice. Drugs, video footage of him murdering his spies, a clear video of his hideout, evidence of the woman's video of all the girls he was forcing away, etc. They had finally gotten all they needed to take him down. Now, all they needed was to know his present place of hideout.Thinking of that now, Felix concluded to pay his father a visit at the villa. He still hadn't gotten the answers he requested from him yet in exchange for finding Alejandro's hideout.So early the next morning, Felix set out to leave for his father's place.****Jen arrived back home late, exhausted after drowning her sorrows in alcohol the entire evening. She just wanted to forget everything. What she had to pass through, how
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 118: Back and ready: the escape
The other day when Felix and Elsa finished giving Fred food, they took the plate away, but forgot to take the spoon along. Fred, being as cunning as he always was, spotted the spoon and pushed himself forward to crash on the floor beside the spoon. He didn't want to miss this opportunity to get his hands on the spoon. He slowly extended his arm, and with a sly smile on his face, he grabbed the spoon.Fred knew that he had to act fast, so he quickly put the spoon in his pocket, pretending that nothing had happened. He waited for the right moment to use it. After finishing his meal, Fred sat there looking helpless and defeated. But little did Felix and Elsa know that Fred had already planned his escape. He waited patiently for his chance to use the spoon. He took out the spoon from his pocket and started working on the ropes that bound him to the chair. It took some time, but Fred was determined to leave there; it was either then or never. He worked the spoon back and forth, cuttin
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 119: Unexpected setup
Elsa now discovered how he got out. How careless of her! She wanted to slap herself for forgetting the spoon. Elsa's mind raced as she tried to come up with a plan to escape. She knew she had to stay calm and focused, but it was hard with Fred's menacing presence looming over her.Just then, she noticed a loose nail on the floor. She tried to reach for it with her foot, hoping to use it to cut the ropes. But Fred noticed her movement and kicked the nail away."You think you're clever, don't you? Well, I'm smarter than you think," he said with a smirk.He walked closer to her, brought out his phone, and handed it to her. “Take this phone and call Felix. Tell him to meet you at home. It's urgent.”*****“So, how is everything between you and Elsa?” Kimber Kim asked, clearing the tension in the air.Suddenly, Felix's phone started ringing. He looked at the caller's ID and discovered it was Elsa's call.“Speak of the...angel...and she will call,” Kimber Kim teased as Felix picked the call
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 120: A karaoke trap: Livin'on a prayer
Felix's expression immediately hardened. “How the hell did...???” he demanded angrily.Elsa looked up with fear and pleading eyes. As she saw Felix, she breathed a sigh of relief. It felt like her entire confidence was restored. But Felix didn't waste any time. He stepped forward, his fists clenched at his sides. "Let her go, Fred," he said through gritted teeth. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest.Fred chuckled. "Oh no, my friend. You're both not going anywhere until I get what I came for. You must pay for locking me up and starving me for all those days!" He took a step closer, his eyes glinting with malice.Fred laughed maliciously as he approached Felix with an evil expression on his face. But Felix wondered how he managed to get out of the house.Felix tensed, ready for a fight. He glanced around the room, sizing up the situation. There were five men gathered around them, including the man who had brought him there. It was true anyway, Fred was the most cunning perso
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 121: End up as a fish food!
Elsa was almost choking as Fred relentlessly wrapped his hands around her neck, threatening Felix. Her head continued spinning amidst their loud argument and...That's when she came up with a brilliant idea. She pretended to faint, falling to the ground and lying motionless. Felix used the distraction to tackle Fred, knocking the gun out of his hand and pinning him to the ground.As Fred was distracted, Elsa quickly sprang up, grabbing the gun and pointing it at him. "Surrender already else I'll shoot!"But Fred was quicker. When he said he was back and ready, he meant it. He shoved Felix off him and kicked the gun out of Elsa's hands, claiming it back. “Ta-da! I told ya!”Just then, the backdoor burst open, and a tall, muscular man stepped into the room dressed like a ninja. Everyone's attention immediately shifted towards him."Hey, what's going on in here?" he asked, his voice calm and calculated.Fred turned to face him, his gun still pointed at Elsa and Jake. "Who are you?" he s

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
194: Red button
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
191: Overwhelming reporters
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
