Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 140: A bet against the policy
The warden raised an eyebrow, eyeing Quince's extravagant car with interest. The colour was dazzling, and the name on the plate seemed to ring a bell in his head. He suddenly recognized him as the second most sought after lawyer in the city. "And what brings you to our humble prison, Mr. Quince?""I'm here to meet with my client, Ms. Jennifer Hale," Quince said smoothly, blowing the bubble gum. And as expected, the warden's face darkened. His expression suddenly turned grim as he understood the situation and remembered the order he was given. “Sorry but you cannot be allowed to see her. I suggest you leave.”“Exactly what the guard here said. But 'leave'? That was harsh.”“Can't you hear me? I said leave!” The warden yelled, disregarding the fact that Quince was the kind of person that could crush him down in no time. But he only had that confidence because one, his backing was from the minister of education and two, the court had approved of the ridiculous order placed due to the Mi

He hung up and slipped his phone back into his pocket, turning his attention back to the prison gates. This warden thought he was some small town lawyer to push around. But Quince was no amateur - he had faced worse challenges and always emerged victorious. Reflecting on it again, this case meant too much - it was about more than just Jen's freedom. It was a chance to restore justice against a crooked system. Quince spat out the bubble gum in his mouth and climbed into his car. As he drove away from the prison, a confident yet enigmatic smile spread across his face. The warden had no idea what was coming for him... =======================Meanwhile, Kimber Kim had summoned Jake to his house after Felix left the company. He needed updates on Felix's life - especially love life - and wanted to inform him of something else. By the time Jake arrived, Kimber Kim was in the basement of the building. Jake was led to the basement and met him on a rocking chair, muttering to himsel

~MoperVille Central Prison~The tall fences with barbed wire surrounded the prison grounds. The area outside reminded one of an empty desert - dusty, with hardly any plants except for scrub grass. As it was during break time, the inmates walked around in faded orange jumpsuits and rubber slippers. Guards were watching from tall towers up above, making sure nothing went wrong. Some prisoners played basketball on cracked courts. Others were jogging. The unlucky ones paced the edges like trapped cats, squinting at the bright sun. In the middle of this, a man in white robe entered the prison gates, his eyes scanning around the prison.He adjusted his priestly collar and straightened the black robe draped over his shoulders. The guards eyed him suspiciously but waved him through the metal detector.As he reached the checkpoint, one of the guards held up a hand. "No approved visits today, father,” he said, standing in front of the entrance to block him.The priest kept his expression ca
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 143: Public apology
Meanwhile, Quince's mind turned back to the warden's challenge. He said there was no way he'd be able to meet Jen, right? He was going to show him that he was not called Kingsley Quince for nothing!He smiled to himself. The warden had no idea who he was dealing with.He strode from Jen's cell and made his way to the warden's office.He already gathered all the information about the warden and discovered he was a person of influence in the prison. No wonder Zechariah chose him.He knocked at the door and a gruff voice answered, "Hold on..."However, Quince immediately opened the door and stepped into the office. The warden was sitting behind his desk, filling out paperwork. He glanced up in annoyance. "Hey! You're supposed to let me say "come in" before you…" the words died in his throat when he saw the face. "Mr. Quince?!"The warden's face turned pale as the paperwork fell from his hand, his mouth dropping open in stunned surprise.His hands trembled as he gripped the edge of his d
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 144: Apprehended.
At Kimber Kim's place, they found out the place the bug was beeping from was a rundown gambling den at a corner of the city. Felix was soon informed, and together with the boys of the Kims and the entire police force of the city, they all went to bring Alejandro down - once and for all.A fleet of intimidating black SUVs and multiple police vans pulled up at the gambling den. Dozens of large men in crisp suits marched out alongside a large battalion of uniformed police officers, forming a circle round the place, giving no chance for Alejandro to escape.“Alejandro Kim, you are being surrounded! Surrender now!” The head of the police threatened, the policemen and Kimber Kim's henchmen ready for action.People in the den looked up in shock from their seats at the various tables and machines.Alejandro, who was in the middle of almost winning a round, flew into shock when he heard the sound. Who were they? He sat frozen with dread as he stared at the fleet of black SUVs and police va

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Did that bastard Alejandro do anything to you? Are you sure you'll be fine?" Elsa fired Felix with questions the moment he returned home.They sat at the dining table. "One question at a time. I'm okay, and everything went well." He paused, his eyes narrowing. "But why do I feel like this went too smoothly? It feels like this is a foreshadow of the main show. Weird, right?"Although Elsa also felt the same way, after all, something that they had been pursuing for a long time suddenly ended in just a day, she knew he needed to relax. She reassured him with a smile, "Were you expecting a chaotic scene with running, shooting, cursing, and fistfights? Felix, we've finally overcome a major obstacle. You should take this as a chance to focus on your own life, finding your kidnapper and my mother's killer. You've been too caught up in all this that you probably forget you're still the next owner of Kim's Empire." She held his hands and said, "Let's celebrate
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 146: Postponed
Two days later, and it was the day of the first trial for Jen's case. The MoperVille high court was crowded and it was like the whole city was in attendance.As the prosecution arrived, they were quickly flooded with questions from the news journalists and interviewers in the premises."What do you have to say about the death of your son?" A reporter questioned, running after Zechariah as they stepped out of the car."What do you think will be the outcome of today's argument?" Another one asked."If the accused is proven not guilty, would you still go for revenge?""Was your son truly involved in domestic violence??"More questions were being asked, and they were soon surrounded by a pack of interviewers. The atmosphere was becoming too rowdy, when suddenly, everywhere quieted down.In a limited edition Maybach, Felix and Elsa drove into the court premises, stunning everyone with style. Following, Quince also drove in. The defense team had arrived!Everyone stopped to look at the gran
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 147: In a coma
At the front of a towering hospital, two cars pulled up to the entrance. The hospital was a massive structure, with multiple wings and floors that stretched high into the sky. The building's exterior was made of white stone, and the entrance was marked by a large, circular driveway.Felix and Elsa stepped out of the first car, entering into the building, and Quince came out of the other one. Following the chaos at the courtroom, apologies were made to everyone and Felix ensured that they all received medical attention. Laughing gas might seem fun, but it has destructive effects on the system.Anyway, they were at the hospital to visit the witness, as Felix's informant had informed them that she was being treated there.It would be really harsh not to pay her a visit as she had risked her life to stand up for the truth. They entered the hospital and the hospital was bustling with activity, with doctors and nurses rushing in and out of the entrance. Finally, the elevator dinged, and th

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
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

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.
