Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 152: Unicorn Ball Night
BLISSFUL GARDENS. Elsa and Jen arrived an hour before the main event started so that they would set up their products at a noticeable place first. They were the first company to arrive, and only a few attendees were present at that time. Other cosmetic companies began arriving later, all dressed in the theme of "cosmic chic," but their outfits didn't match the greenery setting. Elsa and Jen, however, wore regular green sundresses to blend with the garden surroundings and feel comfortable while setting up. Elsa planned to change into her main dress once the main event started."Hi, what products are these?" A few curious passersby came up to the display table, their eyes drawn to the colorful range of shades and textures. "Good evening! I'm Elsa, the founder of G&G Cosmetics," she greeted with a warm smile. "Are you interested in exploring our latest collection?"The attendees were immediately drawn in by Elsa's enthusiasm and her genuine passion for her brand. They eagerly pick

After a while, when the laughter died down a little, the speaker announced again. "And now, we'll be calling out the next cosmetics line. Glitz and Glamour Cosmetics!"Suddenly, the lights went off. Everyone began to mumble and frown in confusion. What was going on? Some people turned on the lights of their phones, curious.Then, the lights of the backstage entrance only came back on, and all attention was focused on that side. Suddenly, the soft sound of hooves echoed, drawing eyes to the entrance.A hush fell over the crowd as Elsa stepped forward in an exquisite ball gown. The gown had lots of purple iridescent layers that shone like the magical glow of the venue.But it is not just her who captures everyone's gaze.Beside her stood a magical creature - a unicorn! Its coat shone like snow, pure and white. On its head a silvery spirally horn caught the light. It had rainbow mane and tail which made it look more magical."Wow, what's that?" "Am I seeing a live unicorn?""Wow, is s
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 154: Unicorn Ball Night(3)
In a very dark room, with no lights on, a pair of eyes were watching the whole live scene from the party unfold before it on a television. "How could this happen? Even with all the supermodel and high-quality stuff, another lowly brand comes up with a unicorn play and outshines the brand? Impossible."Someone behind the person said, "Sir, I found out the horse was the most expensive one in Texas Stable."The voice behind the eyes spoke again, "there's no way a company like hers would have the ability to afford all these. Find out who is behind her.""I've got that too, boss." The person gave the man a phone. "Look at this, that's Scott Hitler, the right hand man of Kimber Kim. It shows he helped her get her things for the ball."The man's eyed darkened as he fixed his gaze at the phone. After a while of thought, he mumbled a few words in the other man's ears."Yes boss!" The person shouted in obeisance.***Elsa finished recording and left the place to where her display was. She not
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 155: The one behind Alejandro
Elsa felt a bit uncomfortable and sweaty in the full dress and decided to use the restroom. Since Felix had walked ahead of her, she asked Jen, "Please wait here while I go to the restroom. I'll return shortly and we can go back together."Jen nodded in understanding. Elsa then proceeded to the restroom. Upon arriving, she splashed cold water on her face and took a deep breath while gripping the sink edge.She suddenly heard footsteps behind her. At first she tried to ignore it, but the person seemed to be approaching too close.When she looked up to see who it was and caught the reflection in the mirror, she gasped in shock at the face in the mirror.This man...she remembered him...it was..."Y-you..." Before she could say more, the person struck her head forcefully with a metallic object, causing her to lose consciousness.*As the realization sank in, Felix's expression turned dark. The pieces were starting to come together in his mind. If Vasley Group of companies was indeed almo
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 156: Project Crest
Felix dropped the trolley he was holding and changed back into his normal cloth he wore. He stood at a corner, listening to all that they were talking about.Jericho Vasley began speaking first, his voice loud and clear. "We meet again, Gregory Fox! How has the business been?""All has been well, thanks to your support," Gregory replied, smiling. "So, can we move to our agenda for today?""We need to move to plan B as soon as possible. Project Crest might look like a normal project, but to be factual, it is a very big move to gaining control and power over the Kims."Felix, hearing this, frowned. What? Jericho also had such plan? It was no surprise though because everyone against the Kims had the same aim, to take control of the empire. But how did he get Alejandro to work with him when the both of them were aiming to get the empire? He must be really sly and sharp-witted in dealing with business to fool Alejandro."So, what's the plan?" Gregory asked.Felix heard Jericho straighteni
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 157: Do it again
In a very dark room, Elsa was just starting to wake up after being forced to sleep for the second time. Her vision was so blurry, and she could barely see anything. It dawned on her that her face was being covered with a face mask.As she perceived, she could sense a huge figure approaching her. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" She asked coldly. It was even more weird that her hands and feet were not tied."It's simple. What's your connection with Kimber Kim?" The person asked.He removed the face mask from her face. Elsa recognizes him instantly as Jericho, the owner of Vasley Group. Why was he...? Suddenly, she saw the man that kidnapped her entering into the place with him.Her heart sank to the lowest depth. She was starting to piece things together. If the man that kidnapped her was working for Jericho, does that mean..."I watched your petty unicorn show and I must admit, you truly stole the event from my company. Aside that, you seem to be closely acquainted with the K
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 158: The Anniversary I
The buzz online was increasing as the big day approached. All across social media, netizens were eagerly discussing the upcoming anniversary celebration of Kim's Empire, as it was the largest and most influential conglomerate in the city."I can't believe it's finally happening - after all these years, Master Kim is going to show forth his heir!" posted one excited fan."I wonder who it will be?" replied another. "All these years and we've never even seen a picture of the next-in-line. Who do you think he is?"The night before the event, message boards lit up with anticipation. "Just think - in 24 hours we'll finally put a face to the name!" said one poster. "I hope he's as handsome as Master Kim...wouldn't it be a dream if the heir was a total hottie?" their comment received dozens of likes and emojis."Do you think the heir could be movie star Ryan Star?" posted one fan. "He already has the looks and charm to take over an empire.""No, way, I'm putting my money on pop singer Jessica

The hall was decorated very luxuriously. There were huge crystal chandeliers emitting soft and warm light, and the shiny marble floor reflected the light, as if walking on a golden floor. Soft and beautiful music filled the air, the sounds of violin and piano created a magical atmosphere. The music was like British songs from the 90s. After a while, a commotion could be heard coming from the entrance. Without even turning around, Felix knew it was Bartholomew D'Angelo. Many people had gathered at the entrance, including reporters and interviewers. D'Angelo was dressed in his usual black formal suit and shoes, accompanied by his herd of assistants and bodyguards. But Felix noticed that something was missing... Ah, pets were not allowed on board, so his beloved dog was nowhere to be found. And D'Angelo was furious about this. Why did he suddenly impose a ban on pets on board? To be honest, the only reason D'Angelo came here was to sign the contract, nothing more. He tried to main

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
