The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 42
"I never said I did. I only take an interest in why that bitch would go to any length trying hard to make the boss look like a fool in the presence of others." Linda said, avoiding gazes while she rushed to the table.She pulled a plate of meal herself and hurriedly began to munch."I just hate it when somebody comes up trying to take advantage when they are wrong."She faced Xander. "Tell me what exactly happened between the boss and that lady. How did the separation happen?" she inquired with a half-filled mouth.Xander as well sighed before he voiced. "She left because the boss was still poor and then she followed another man.""Ha…ha…" Surprisingly, Linda burst into laughter, startling everyone around."It's not funny, Linda." Xander voiced amidst the meal."Yeah, it is. Sorry, I laughed. Isn't it just funny? What century are we where women do not have a work of their own?""Just zip up now, Linda, The boss must not hear you speaking this way." Alaric cautioned."I get your point

"I'm leaving. Considering the way you all behave, it shows I'm not fit to stay here. I would rather return to the club than stick with people who would constantly prick me on my skin with whatever they discovered of me." Linda voiced painfully, also heading to the wardrobe, and hurriedly hurling her clothes into her bags."Hey, hey hey, easy Linda." Xander hurriedly proceeded to stop her, trying to catch every cloth she threw."Just let go of me, Xander!" she yelled again, and this time with a firm tone, however, Xander wasn't giving in. He grabbed her wrist and held onto it firmly. Even though she made use of the other, hitting his chest constantly, Xander wasn't letting go. "You aren't going anywhere, Linda. Everything the boss said earlier on, he never meant it. Trust me when I say he is fun to be with, he is never a man to take advantage of his subordinates."With gritted teeth, she replied to him. "So what if he did learn about my parents? What if he did learn about why I did wh

"What do you mean, the search will be more? What else did you find out? You are obviously coming from Linda's room, so what did you find out in a few minutes?" Alaric asked."Well, first of all guys, Linda lost her parents… Yea, they died just like boss said, but speaking to her and getting full details, I did realise that it was way more than death in a motor accident." While the discussion was going on, Edwin had asked Draco to pour him more shots, and at a go, he had taken two shots. And his visions were somewhat blurry, displaying his subordinates in double."Why are you guys having two resemblances?" Edwin voiced pointing at them."Two resemblances?" They each looked at themselves. "Boss is really drunk… I hope he doesn't puke on the nice floored tiles?" Tony softly mumbled.Draco had equivalently taken four more at a go, and just as suggested that shots would even cause a drug lord to go tipsy, he finally was getting tipsy. "You think boss will be able to do this?" Alaric ask

"Honestly, guys, what do you think?" Xander questioned in excitement."it's a no.." Alaric was against it."Of course, it's a yes." Linda stood before Edwin with her arms resting below her breast. "Boss, you won't tell me no right? Remember I wasn't present for the initiation, please take us out," she pouted."Boss, that's true. I didn't even think about this before. She wasn't present for the initiation, Please take her out and take us along as well." Xander stated.However, others laughed him off. "That's not right Xander, this is about Linda not you, so your charm won't work.""Mine would." Draco raised an arm, in the middle of crunching his cookie. "Boss, please take us out. Considering the fact that I have been stuck between these four walls for the past few months. I feel like I'm emaciating."'No, you are actually dying. Dying fits in." Xander jokes. "Yeah, right. Boss, I'm dying." Draco said jokingly."Guys, fine. You can choose wherever you want to go, on just one condition.

Bonnie, the manager, was trying hard to make it seem as though Edwin was the wrong one. Considering the fact that she did want to make sure that Edwin was well humiliated, Freya, was not able to attend to other incoming customers, thereby causing a long queue."Please bear with us while we disgrace this thief and his gang outta here, setting them as a good example to others who find stealing quite pleasurable." Bonnie had addressed the new customers, after which she turned back to Edwin."Now, considering the instructions my receptionist issued at first, I would want all of you to leave, at this moment," Bonnie repeated, but then she suddenly stopped and said. "Or on second thought, I see how you guys seem to be hungry and you definitely want to feed here, so I'll give you the grace of sorting things out yourself."She turned to the receptionist before she said. "Freya, give them the list of customer requirements. Let them know of every level that exists. And then, let's see if they

Bonnie was dumbstruck and her feet froze to the ground. Edwin she knew would never in his whole life be able to secure a fortune not to talk of a bill of six million at a go."Bonnie, you are delaying me. I've got a lot of things to attend to. So were your words to me. If you don't mind, I guess you should hand over the papers to me."Bonnie couldn't withstand selling her business that she had built for several years, raising it from the scratch to its present level. Hence, she lied. "What paperwork? This place belongs to me, did I ever say I was going to sell it? I won't, I never will." she interjected sharply."Huh! Really! She's going to deny in the presence of everyone here? Is this really a joke?" Linda spouts in disgust."She's trying hard to pull her string, but it's never going to work, because I'm so sure the boss won't allow it." Xander answered her."He better not do it, because this lady is an animal, people like them do not have the right to life. Just after a lot of hum

"Wow, such a stressful day it was, but it was worth the stress all along," Xander said, falling into the seat the moment they got home."Yeah, it was worth it. I loved the way it turned out. I loved my boss's sense of judgement." Tony replied."I did too, just that I cringed when he mentioned locking up that bad-mouthed girl for three days with no food or water, I felt for her." Linda chipped in, but not until Edwin, Draco and Alaric strode in before they each went silent."Boss, that was brilliant, giving the lowlife an opportunity.""Yeah, sure. But no one is a low-life either. Opportunity separates us." Edwin responded. "Alaric, here, take this." he handed over the papers."Boss,""It's for you. You own it. I have enough to my name, I don't need more. So you can have it.""And here comes just another benevolent act." Linda voiced with a smile. "He is just tooooo benevolent," she said, stressing the o in the words."Thanks, boss. I appreciate this." Alaric was about to say more but

"Where is he, where can I find him?" Linda yelled at the top of her voice, clenching her teeth, and tightening her fist."Calm down, Linda. Another reason we never wanted to tell you yet." Xander tried to pacify her.."I don't care Xander, I feel like tearing life out of him. He is a beast! Kimberly is a beast!" Linda cried out at the top of her voice falling to the ground.Her voice had alerted the rest, and they came running into the kitchen. "What happened? And Perry, I thought we were heading out, what happened, why aren't you dressed?" Edwin asked shifting his gaze from Linda to Perry, trying hard to understand what was going on."Yeah, boss. I was supposed to go get dressed, but then I came for the water you asked of me, and I met Xander.""Xander! Did you cause Linda's pain?" Edwin was quick to ask even before getting a response."Not at all, boss, I didn't, but something we discovered made her cry," Xander answered, squatting low to pacify Linda."What did you guys discover th

Edwin was immediately agitated by the knock on the door. He had called his guys to stay away from home, if they had, then who was at the door?All this he thought to himself in a daze."You have somebody at the door, man, go check." one of them teased him. He balled his fist in anger, strolling towards the door. The first thing he did was peep through the hole."Damn! Is she dumb!" he mumbled to himself, balling his fist, then opening up, he raised his voice to say. "What are you doing he…"Before he could finish, she raised a bag to him. "What else would I be doing here, if not for the fact that Mum asked me to come over with this plate of soup." Helen didn't allow him to finish his statement before she strode past him into the house."Hele…" her name hung in his mouth immediately while he watched her walk in.Upon getting into the living room, she froze to her feet when she sighted Brandon and his men, her legs turned jelly-like as well while she wondered what was happening.Howeve

At first, Edwin paused when he heard the masculine voice call him, he was expecting a feminine voice and that of Helen to be precise, but here he was meeting another thing entirely."Kendel!" Edwin was first of all struck to the spot. No other person called him by that name except for the Meritual gang, only they addressed him by that name."Are my ears playing tricks on me, or is this reality?" he asked himself, with a creased brow for a minute. Thereafter, fastened his step towards the door.He would never make the mistake of opening the door without the loophole anymore. Helen's case had taught him a lesson.Once bitten, twice shy.He checked the loophole and there, he met the shock of his life. It was Brandon.This time, it wasn't just Brandon, but Brandon was with other members of the gang.He at first headed from peeking through the hole, brushed through his face with his palm to be sure he wasn't dreaming and then he checked but it was still the same thing."What could they be

"Alaric is something up with you?" Alaric didn’t expect Draco or anyone to come around then, so he was startled.Giggling, he forced himself to say. "It's pretty nothing, I just came here to have a drink!" he sipped from the cup again."A drink, for over three hours?""Three hours! How is that even p.." he hurriedly checked his wristwatch only to realise that Draco was indeed right.He had spent over three hours drinking and soliloquising."Is it a girl issue?" Draco took a seat to level with him. "Hmmm… could it be a girl problem?" Draco hurriedly leaned closer. "I thought your woman was back. So why brood further?" Draco was inquisitive.Staring blankly, Alaric said to him. "Maybe I want more than that. Maybe I want more than what I'm getting." he sipped another round from his cup, but then this time, Draco collected it back from him."Hey, enough of it, Alaric! Time to stop drinking." Draco repeated, taking the wine far away.Alaric sighed and leaned against the cellar table before

"Yes boss, I think we should carry them along. They deserve to know everything that's happening so they can know where to come in." Alaric advised and just immediately, Edwin dailed Mr Yen's number."Mr Yen!" "Edwin, is there a problem?" He asked immediately, even though he could at first be heard analysing some aspect of the case with Ariana which showed their dedication to the case."There is a problem, Mr Yen. And for now, I don't think there is a solution to it yet." Mr Yen was immediately agitated. "Please fill me in." be requested."The guilty in this case. Kimberly has put the life if the judge on a stake and now, Klaus the most dangerous underground warlord had declared that I look into her case. He wants dirt on her. In one word, Kimberly wants her license revoked.""This is totally against the law." Mr Yen was instantly confused about what to do. "I'm confused, Edwin. If this judge doesn't declare judgment and he is successfully able to revoke her licence to practice law,

“Let’s elope together at least you would be free from the grasp of your old man. He would seize to have a hold over you. We can have the world to ourselves. Ciara shot him a surprised gaze and then she chuckled. Unlike her old man husband, a lot of things excited her about Draco, and she was ready to elope with him if that's what it would cost her to have a good life. At least, Draco was rich, handsome, intelligent and overall, good in bed.Then what else would she want in a man? All these she thought to herself immediately.“That's a great idea,” she leaned closer to him. “Now, tell me is this a proposal? Are you giving me a proposal?”He smiled in return. “Well, it could be whatever you call it, but honestly I want you by my side every single day and I want to grow old having access to this beautiful body and the owner of the beautiful body.” Draco responded leaning closer as well and intoxicating her with his deep masculine voice that tingled like that of an angelic tone in her e

"What problem do we have here again?" Edwin sounded frustrated."Nothing, really, boss. I'm just so concerned about the reputation of the judge. It wouldn’t be fair to see the innocent woman suffer for what she never did. That is the real law and judgement.""You are right Tony. I understand that." Edwin sighed deeply before he then continued. "You know what, let's have this discussion tonight with everyone during facetime meeting.""Alright boss. Good idea.""You would need to excuse me now Tony, I need to settle Klaus.""We will be waiting for you by nightfall, boss." The call ended immediately.***** On the other hand, Xander had being the one staying with Linda. Since the moment they had repaired their relationship, its being difficult to let her out of his sight.Nervously resting against his lap while she awaited the court results."Still nervous, yeah?" Xander was reading a book but then his other hand was utilised to brush through her brown blonde hair to calm her down."I do

"What if she doesn't have any dirt, what if she's clean?" Edwin asked Klaus he sought ways to discourage Klaus. Even though he knew it might not work, he still wanted to try."There is no harm in trying, is there? Moreover I don't intend to stain my relationship with the K5, it would go a long way to affect me…no one goes against them and remains alive. They are rulers, an unshakable power of the society." Klaus responded affirming his point of view."And if there is none, if no dirt is found, make sure to create one. It's her against us and we must win this time around." Klaus was clear enough after which he ended the call.Edwin gulped hard with the thought of how best he was going to get that done. This same lady is the only way to their salvation as well. Moreover, how would he destry her career just for the sake of some country crazy men.He shook the thought off, and then began to think of how he could accomplish his new mission. On a quick thought, the best person to do the jo

Fuming in anger, he couldn't contain it anymore, his ego had been hurt and he felt he could burn down the whole city."Mr Van, if we would be working in cooperation together I think it's best that you follow my ins…""I don't take instructions from anyone. I’ve been in the business world since you were born and I've been facing cases on cases, so if you don't know how best to defend me then I think you either shut up or get relieved from your duties.,"Despite the fact that Brawly was trying to ignite a discussion so he could help, Kimberly's ego wouldn't allow a space for such.He wanted to control everyone at his fingertips and would want everyone to worship him as well.After considering and figuring out Kimberly's behaviour, Brawly decided to keep his low."Give me the name of that disrespectful judge." Kimberly's voice thundered."What judge Mr Van?" Brawly had already turned confused so he decided to ask so he could clarify."Are you dumb? What judge did we both meet with today?

CHAPTER 105
Not until Ciara felt his arm tug at her waist, did she realise that there was trouble.She shuddered when his hands touched her, and her brows constricted from irritation.Why is he touching me? She told herself and at the same time was just about making an attempt to turn his hands off when she remembered he accused her of cheating.If she pulled herself out of his embrace, he was going to suspect her more.Deep down, she irritably said to herself. "Calm down Ciara. Accommodate him, it's all for a short time." she told herself.The following day, the court was buzzing with whispers from various people. Even Kimberly had wondered where the faces had come from.He wouldn't have told anyone except his immediate family members that he was going to undergo a trial. Looking around and seeing different faces whispering he was still confused as to where they had come from.Nevertheless, it was time he focused on the case at hand, he had to win it.One other thing was missing, the fact that h
