Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 85. From trashed products to triumph
Meanwhile, as the event drew to a close, few people had started dispersing, while majority started to wind down, the conversations around the room began to turn towards business. Among them was Elsa, who had brought a bag load of her cosmetics products, ready to advertise. She had spent months perfecting her latest organic formula and was eager to share it with the world.As she mingled with the other guests, Elsa struck up a conversation with a middle-aged woman who seemed interested in her products. "Excuse me, ma'am," Elsa said with a friendly smile. "I couldn't help but notice that you have beautiful skin. I have just the right product that could enhance your natural beauty even more."The woman looked intrigued, "Oh, really? Tell me more about it."Elsa quickly pulled out a small container of her signature cream from her bag and explained its benefits. She spoke in a friendly tone, using simple language that the woman could easily understand. "This cream is specially formulated

Lena scowled, realizing that Lia still thought of her as a rival. “You're crazy,” she groaned, short of words for the perfect reply to give Lia's words. “You're worse,” Lia shot back.Lena looked taken aback but quickly recovered, "Well, suit yourself. But don't come crying to me when your face starts burning from that cheap cream."Elsa's patience was wearing thin as she clenched her fists. “I'd advise you leave already. You're clearly becoming a third wheel."Lena laughed mockingly. "Oh, really? And what are you going to do about it, Elsa? Cry to your mommy?"Elsa's eyes narrowed as she took a step closer to Lena. "No, Lena. I'm going to give you a taste of your own medicine."Lena smirked. "I'd like to see you try."Elsa's eyes shone with a malicious glint. She walked even closer to her, staring up at her in a deadly gaze.The next second, Elsa grabbed the hem of Lena's dress and yanked it, causing it to tear. Lena gasped in shock and stumbled backward, tripping on a nearby pole
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 87. The drug baron
The car started and drove away, leaving Felix to deal with his thoughts.Alejandro, the notorious drug baron, was feared among the criminal underworld for his illicit drug trafficking operations in the city. Despite his reputation, he had managed to evade capture for importing and exporting drugs. Even his criminal records was clean and empty! That alone was enough reason to be even more scared of him.For him to have sabotaged the ongoing construction, it meant there was more to it than meets the eye. Felix resolved to bringing him down along with his fellow associates, but first he needed to know the root cause of the problem.What was he after anyway?******“Two years ago, smuggled carts and carts of illegal drugs and ammunition into the city. The ammunition imported was specifically brought to fire at Kim's empire, killing every worker in each of the companies. But Master Kim got wind of it and was able to catch them in time, but the loyal minions denied the obvious fact that th
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 88. War in a yacht!
Upon arriving at the dock, Felix observed a number of sailboats prepared for departure. He concealed himself behind a container and surveyed the area, searching for any sign of a yacht. Three yachts were present and ready to set sail. Felix retrieved a photo of Vito Panda and examined the surroundings, meticulously seeking out the man's face. He was so absorbed in his task that he failed to notice someone approaching him.“Hey!” A voice called out, causing Felix to jump in surprise.He spun around to see a security guard who was patrolling the area. “Who are you?” The guard inquired, his eyebrows raised with suspicion. Felix cleared his throat and stood up straight, adjusting the hem of his black coat. “Good morning, sir. You must be one of the guards here, correct?”After receiving a doubtful nod from the guard, Felix smiled and asked, “have any yachts already departed?”The man shook his head."Great, that's a relief. I'm actually looking for a yacht owned by someone named Vit
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 89. The code
The police and the security guards got down from their boats and climbed into the yacht in troops.They surrounded the lower deck and others dispersed throughout the upper deck, giving no chance for escape.“You are being surrounded! Surrender now!” The CSO threatened from the lower deck, his men ready for action.In the cabin, Felix and Jake were still contemplating.“This is getting really ugly,” Felix shook his head in dismay, “And this bastard is not ready to talk!” “I think escaping this mess is the best option,” Jake suggesi, his confidence beginning to reduce.Vito, who was barely awake, filled with bruises and cuts and a swollen face from the beating received, gave out a mocking smirk.“Get ready to be caught, idiots!” He sneered, his breathing ragged as he struggled to breathe.At that dying moment, a sudden idea dawned on Felix. He swiftly directed his attention towards Jake. "Jake, listen up. I think I've got an idea. Head to the cockpit immediately and take control of the
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 90. Threatened
Back at the duplex, after completing all her tasks at the company, Elsa returned to the duplex and grew weary, eventually drifting off to sleep.Beneath a tree outside the window of the room, a mysterious figure in black clothing and a broad-brimmed hat kept watch, scanning the surroundings above.He cross-checked the address on his mobile phone with the one before him to verify their match, and found they aligned perfectly.He smirked cunningly. Without wasting time, he quickly ascended the wall with the support of a ladder and jumped into a room.As fate would have it, that was the same room Elsa was sleeping in, her own room. The strange man's face lit up with satisfaction when he finally saw Elsa sleeping on the bed. After all, she was his main target. With a mischievous grin on his face, he quietly tiptoed towards the bed and climbed on it. He began moving forward, up the bed, stopping when his face was opposite hers. Elsa was tossing and turning on the bed, trying to break f
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 91. Underground search
“This one should be our starting point,” Jake pointed on the map he was holding. The following morning, Felix and Jake set out for their underground pursuit. Since they had just limited information, it was impossible to pinpoint where exactly the hideout could be. So, they had to scour all the underground areas in the city, utilizing the code provided by Vito.Currently, they found themselves at the one situated in the heart of the city. A fence encircled the area, and the interior resembled a grassy field.“Chances are high that the syndicate conducts their operations here, boss,” Jake explained as they climbed and jumped over the fence. "Several corpses were found in these grasses a few weeks ago.”Felix surveyed the surroundings and gave a nod. This was their first destination for investigation. Although he had a gut feeling that the location was too serene to be under syndicate control, he wanted to confirm his suspicion.“Everything is covered in grass. How can we determine if
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 92. The Strange Man.
“This shit is so frustrating. We should head out now.” Felix cursed, walking into the area leading to the staircase.Jake, who was tangled in a cobweb, struggled to free himself. “We would resume our search tommorow. It's getting late already,” he said, wiping the cobwebs off his face.“You're right,” Felix replied, pacing back and forth. “We're getting nowhere with this search.”Jake nodded in agreement, following Felix as they climbed up the flight of stairs that led to the vacuous living room of the abandoned building. As they got into the car, Felix took the driver's seat. "I'll drive," he said, starting the engine. "We need to clear our heads and come up with a new plan for tomorrow."Jake leaned back in his seat, staring out of the window. "Today feels like a waste of time," he grumbled.Felix nodded in agreement, but his determination was unwavering. "We'll find Alejandro," he said firmly. "He's caused too much trouble for too long. We need to put an end to his heinous activit

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

“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
