The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 76
The moment Linda disconnected the in-ear monitor, the receptionist walked up to her to say. "Mr Van is done with his meeting, he asked to meet the visitor seeking to see him immediately, and since you are on the top list, I think you should go in.""Oh, ok." Linda faked a smile immediately, stomping to her feet without delay.Time to confront that wicked soul. Linda thought to herself, heading towards the elevator, however remembering she shouldn't behave as though she were familiar with the place, she turned to ask."What floor am I going to?" "The last floor ma'am.""Yeah, thanks." She turned to leave, entering the elevator, and clicking on the last floor.The moment the doors of the elevator closed, she sighed slightly after glancing at every part of the elevator, she could tell that Kimberly had renovated a lot about the place to his own taste."Not for long Kimberly, because I Linda, I'm coming for you. You had better leave, because you would be so sure about what hit you." She

"What was his reaction after you confronted him?" Perry was the first to ask the moment she entered the vehicle. "He's just an idiot, Perry. He fathoms lies without remorse, even has the gut to tell my face that the company never belonged to my dad. Thank goodness I took the will along, but he tore it.""Hmm… As expected." Tony responded briefly."That guy needs to be dealt with, nothing else matters at this point other than that." Xander voiced, although his face focused on the road. "What's the plan you all?"***** After getting a hold of Billy, Edwin ordered that he should be locked up in a warehouse."Please let me go." Billy pleaded the moment he was tied to a seat. "Let me go, please, I don't have money. I don't have anything at all to redeem myself." Billy continued to shriek in fear, staring at both of them.When his screams were much, Draco approached him with a metallic tape, sealing his mouth tightly with it. "Just shut up!"Billy let out muffled screams tearfully. Howe

All along, Edwin hadn't viewed the picture, but after Klsus mentioned that the name was in the picture, he took the initiative to turn it over.However, before he did, he caught a glimpse of the name behind the picture. 'Linda Cox' 'Linda Cox!' he thought to himself in surprise hoping that it wasn't the Linda he knew.He had heard that surname before but he couldn't tell where.Turning the picture over is the only solution to solving his inquisitiveness, therefore he did. And when he did, his jaw fell.Regardless of the surprise, he tried to make sure Klaus didn't get to notice any of it. "Umm…boss, she looks quite innocent. How will somebody like her go against the K5?"Klaus burst into unending laughter before he proceeded to pour himself a bottle of liquor and then continued. "Nobody is innocent, Kendel. Like I said, there is still a whole lot you need to learn. Now without delay, let's get started."Edwin contained his surprise, at least he had been able to fulfil the fact tha

"Boss, please can I get to see the picture well?" Linda besieged Edwin.Feeling bad about the fact that even her guys could not believe her words, he was willing to clear her name.But who would blame them? Right before them was all evidence revolving around her. First was the name behind the picture, there was no other Linda Cox around them, and if there was, a second evidence would prove who the real Linda was.The picture had also pointed towards her, so getting to disagree with them was just a mere waste of energy."Here, it is. If you want me to bring it closer let me know.""Huff." Linda let out small air from her lips in exasperation. "Please, boss."Staring at the picture, it didn't take her long before she spoke out. "Boss, this is a conspiracy. I said I am innocent, but none of you care to believe me.""Conspiracy?! Can you explain to us without leaving us in the dark?" Alaric asked."Guys, look at the picture well, and compare it to my present self, is this how I look now?

"From this moment henceforth, Linda shouldn't be allowed to go after Kimberly. Every other person can, but she, out of the way till further notice.""But boss I…" Linda was about saying but Edwin cut her off."The decision is already made Linda and there's nothing we can do about it. I need you to stay indoors till the end of this mission except you want to expose us or get killed." Edwin said with a note of finality, leaving Linda dejected."Tony, Perry, Xander, I need you guys to keep an eye on Kimberly. His past, present and future endeavors must be known. I want you to get his weak point, things he's afraid of, people he's scared of losing. I want them as soon as possible." Edwin gives out the order with multiple creases deepening into his brow."Yes boss, we'd do just that. The trio chorused through the phone."And oh, lest I forget, there's someone I need to teach a lesson." Edwin changed his stance and look immediately after saying that, giving them all a slight chill of how he

Suddenly, there was a loud shriek in the neighbourhood, everywhere was suddenly bustling with the sound of people and it seemed like something had gone amiss.“That sounds like there was trouble out there. I think we need to check." Alaric and proposed in alert."Let's see to it, immediately, hoping that no one is dead." Edwin rushed towards the door, the others following behind to see what had happened only to discover that a lot of people had gathered in the front of a house not too far from theirs..It was surprising, nothing like an outburst had happened since the time thru got to the place.Even though it was a ghetto, it was one of the most peaceful places in the city.A sudden cry from a neighbour shows that something was amiss.Upon reaching the place, the trio moved closer to them to understand the situation.At first, they could see a young lady in her twenties, sitting on the porch, her tear-stained face and trembling lips conveying the pains. However, from the comments

“Boss, have you heard the latest news?” Tony hurriedly said over the phone immediately Edwin picked up.Tony's voice shot through the phone, making Edwin's curiosity pique. “What’s the matter? Edwin was fast to respond, deepening his frown.“Boss, Kimberly just declared Linda wanted over the news. It's all over, currently live. Funny enough the criminal tagged his own cousin as a criminal trying to take his life and offered the sum of a million dollars to anyone who finds her.” Tony dropped the bombshell.Edwin and the others hastened towards the house, and Edwin didn't fail to turn on the TV. Just as reported, Kimberly was seen addressing the public, stating the rewards firmly as though he wanted to get a criminal.He equally didn't fail to attach Linda's picture."Anyone who has seen her or has the information of her whereabouts should contact the law enforcement authorities immediately and will be rewarded with the sum of a million dollars." Kimberly completed and the next screen s

The following day, after breakfast, Edwin set out in his mask to meet with Klaus. On his way to get a cab, he sighted Helena on the other side of the road but he chose to ignore her to avoid her rude attitude.He wouldn't want trouble from her sour words, but instead of staying away as he thought, she crossed the road to meet with him. Luckily, he had stopped a cab so he merely got into the vehicle pretending he didn’t see and the driver drove off.That is quite a good start for the day. He had thought to himself.Walking into Klaus’ sitting room, he met him with Brandon and some other gang members. Surprised as to why everyone was gathered, it seemed quite strange. Nevertheless, he snapped out of his reverie immediately to greet.Acknowledging everyone including Klaus.“Good morning boss, good morning everyone.” He tried forcing a smile as though all was well.. He needed to see Klaus in private.However, different from what he thought, Klaus was different. “Kendel, here you are. I 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
