Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 68. Price of humiliation
Felix was so sure of himself that Maxim could have been the one who tried to kill him in that explosion. But he couldn't help wondering why and what made him feel that way. Shrugging, he remembered something and quickly grabbed his phone from his pocket and sent a reminder to Elsa, "Don't forget."Shortly a reply came in, "you think I would?" Followed by an emoticon, "(◠‿◕)."Felix smirked at her message and tucked the phone back into his pockets. Tonight is the drama night... Tina cleared her throat and said, "So that means you don't have a car to flex on right now, dude. Maybe in your next life you'll get that same car. Tsk, I feel sorry for you." She ‘tsk’'d and rolled her eyes, then turned to Maxim. "Looks like we'll be hopping in your car, Maxim," she said. "No problem," he nodded. Meq checked the time and saw they were almost late. "Shit! Guys we should head there now, we're running late!""Oh sure, let's go," Tina said as they all headed out. However, Felix used his s
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 69. Party gone wrong!
Maxwell paced back and forth, and Felix watched him like it was some kind of comedy movie. He couldn't believe his goods were burnt. How? Every time he sold them, he would get around 100 million dollars. But now, he was screwed and confused."Oh, hell no! I got kicked out of the Kim's Empire group!! My God, I'm so finished!!!" he exclaimed, eyes wide as he scrolled through his phone."How..." He started but trailed off and looked at Felix. He couldn't believe what his mind was telling him. No. How could a nobody without connections do this?"You can't be responsible for this," he shook his head, incredulous, as Felix smirked wickedly."You are still underestimating me? Do you want to end up dead?" Felix threatened, kicking him in the legs and he fell to the ground."This is the price one has to pay for humiliating me."Maxwell stared up at him in disbelief, confusion and thought. He was connecting the dots already."Kimber Kim's son... The heir...oh, no, it's you!" He realized, his e
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 70. The black paint catastrophe
Aaaaah!!!"Screams and squeals erupted from the people in the hall as panic set in. Black paint continued to fall from the ceiling, splattering onto the guests' white dresses and tuxedos. Initially, everyone froze in shock, looking up at the ceiling in confusion."Oh my God! My dress!!!""Eek!! What's going on????"People started to scream and scramble, trying to avoid the black paint. Some tried to shield themselves with their hands or bags, but it was no use. The paint was everywhere, staining the expensive fabric and ruining the pristine look of the guests.Chaos erupted, and the once-lively party turned into a scene of fear and disorder as everyone tried to push past each other to the exit.In the midst of this, Felix stood, a quirky smirk playing at the corner of his lips. The paint continued to rain down, its thick droplets splashing on his clothes, creating an eerie and surreal atmosphere. But he was not in the least bit bothered about it.On the other hand, Meq was going crazy
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 71. Almost got caught!
"I don't need your advice, I need motivation – which your girlfriend already gave me plenty of," Felix shot back, ironically referring to Ruby's mocking from earlier."My apologies, man. Ruby has always been that way," Elvis sighed.On the other hand, Elsa felt totally left out and confused."Wait, you guys have met each other before?" Elsa asked, peering at the two men in front of her, who were exchanging scrutinizing glances.Felix said, "Of course, just a few hours ago, at the party.""Oh... Wait, bro? You were at the party too? Then... How come you didn't get stained by the paint?!" Elsa was shocked. She had just played a prank where her brother was! Isn't that a boomerang?Elvis shrugged. "Well, luckily, I smelled something fishy when I edged closer to the back door of the restaurant so I headed out immediately with Ruby. I saw a man and a woman connecting a pipe to a tank and the woman looked like...." He suddenly turned to Elsa with a frown. "Wait, Elsa, how did you know it rai
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 72. The contractual marriage
Elsa's sandwich slipped from her hands.She immediately snapped her head and look at Felix. "Mm?" she grunted, incredulous.Upon hearing Felix's confession about liking someone, Elsa felt a twinge of hurt. She tried to ignore the feeling but knew it was there, like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. Who was this girl?"Who's the lucky one?" She asked, picking up her sandwich and clearing her throat."My late father-in-law, baby Dice, and of course, my one and only father," Felix replied casually, taking a sip of his milk. "And the person I care about is also the one I love, right? So, I love you too."Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, realizing Felix was only teasing her. She chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed by her initial reaction, and playfully rolled her eyes. "Same here, though you scared me for a moment there. I thought it was something serious, like you probably found a new love to replace Meq," she said, trying to compose herself.Felix grinned mischievously,
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 73. DIVORCE
|Civil Records Office|A car pulled up in front of the two-storeyed registration office. Elsa felt the atmosphere in the car become tense. She glanced over at Felix and saw that his expression was cold and distant, his forest green eyes staring into space."Felix, what's wrong?" She subtly frowned, concerned.Felix's steely gaze darted to meet hers. "Nothing, just that they will see the real me today."With that, he got out of the car.Elsa nodded, slyly. “I'll stay in here and wait then.”As the car pulled up in front of the Civil Records Office, Elsa felt a sense of tension in the air. She looked over at Felix, whose normally warm expression had been replaced by a cold and distant one. "Felix, what's wrong?" she asked with concern.Felix's steely gaze met hers. "Nothing, just that they'll see the real me today," he replied, his voice devoid of emotion.Elsa nodded in understanding. "I'll wait here for you then."He opened the car door and stepped out, walking towards the building i
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 74. When words aren't enough... Slap!
"Aaaaah!!!!" Meq let out a scream that pierced through the air, her voice shaking with fear and anger. Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment and rage, and she felt like the ground should open up and swallow her whole.The sudden slap echoed in the room, startling everyone, including Felix, who stood there with wide-open eyes. Elsa's fury had taken over, and Meq's words had pushed her to the edge. Even though Felix knew Elsa could get angry, he didn't expect her to lash out like this.Well, of course, anyone would be furious after what Meq said.Friends with benefits?That was absolutely rude, degrading, absurd, insulting... but typical of Meq. To spout nonsense twenty four hours per day.Meq felt the impact of Elsa's harsh slap, and her cheeks went numb as she trembled, trying to hold back her tears. "You bitch..." She was about to retaliate by slapping Elsa when Felix grabbed her hands mid-air, preventing her from doing so. The action was so swift and decisive that it took her b
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 75. Emotional Game.
Felix and Elsa walked out of the registration office, still thinking about all that transpired.Felix was happy that he finally got freedom while Elsa was huffing over the show that they caused, but blushing at how Felix defended her.Suddenly, her stomach grumbled, and then she realized she had not eaten lunch. "Oops..." She held her stomach demurely, hoping Felix did not hear the sound.Felix, who had heard the sound, stopped, facing her. Seeing the embarrassed expression on her face, he held back his teasing words, acting natural."Would you want to grab lunch at that restaurant? I heard they serve good high-end Italian dishes," Felix said, pointing over to a nearby restaurant across the road.Elsa breathed in relief, relieved that Felix did not hear the embarrassing sound. "Eh? Sure, why not? I'm literally starving right now."With that, they began to walk towards the restaurant, side by side.As they walked into the cozy Italian restaurant, the smell of garlic and tomato sauce fi

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
