The Billionaire Son-in-law 96. Conrad Millie.
The case had been going on for almost a month and even though they had substantial evidence, Lucas was shocked as to how difficult it was for them to get Marco convicted."We can add the illegal trafficking case now." The lawyer said, frowning at his cup."Are you sure it's the right time?" As impatient as Lucas was, he still didn't want to act carelessly."Very sure. During the next hearing, we bring in the Influential brothers and we can start from there.""Okay, do you need me to do anything?""Not at all, you just sit back and relax.""Okay." Lucas wish he could just sit and relax but he couldn't, he was in the middle of the biggest case of his life and every second, the fear of losing creeps into his mind and puts his nerves on edge. So, relaxing was the last thing on his mind.★★★"Mr Conrad Millie?""Yes?""You're under arrest.""What?!""You're entitled to an attorney but if you can't get one for yourself, the government will provide one for you and you are advised to watch y
The Billionaire Son-in-law 97. The Sentence.
"Mr Conrad Millie, is it?""Yes, that is correct.""What is your relationship with Mr Platana?""We're long time business partners.""Okay. Would you mind explaining more about your business?""Well…uh…must I?""You don't have to but it doesn't matter. We have your voice recording and we can still charge you to court either you cooperate or not.""You can't sue me, I have done nothing wrong." He insisted, pride emanating from every word he spoke."Mr Millie, you're involved with Mr Platana which means you are involved in this case. If you don't speak the truth, you could be sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment for lying while under oath in the court of law. And you could also be charged for aiding and abetting, meaning you get the same sentence Mr Platana gets."Millie looked shaken up by the legal threat and Lucas could see that he was cracking. "Please I'll tell you everything I know. Just, help me." He pleaded.Lucas didn't know that just lying in court could result in such a h

"Are you deaf? Or am I speaking in a language you can't understand? Why the heck do you have to be so boneheaded all the time?"It did sound like his mother in-law was speaking in a language he couldn't understand, because he couldn't understand a damn thing she was saying."We're so close, so damn close. How can you just call us now and say you want us to back out? I mean, that can't be possible in a million years.""Mother, please calm down." Peter tried to cool her down. "You know I am always on your side and I always do what will make you happy.Mother, why are you insisting on us backing out? As Lucas said, we are already so close to winning, backing out now will make things worse.""Oh so now you're on Lucas's side huh? You're taking his side over your own mother?!""No, I would never. You know I am always on your side, come rain, come sun…this is just a really difficult issue.""I've said my bit, and that's what you all are going to do.""What is wrong with you mother? Why mus
The Billionaire Son-in-law 99. The End.
"Hey,""Hey." With only a day left before the final hearing, Lucas was suddenly feeling nervous. They had come a long way and he hoped the results would be favorable to them."Are you worried about what mother said?"Blanche's threat had unnerved Ivy for the last few days that she was getting anxious over the slightest of things. "No, I was just thinking.""What do you think she meant by that?" She stared at him, her eyes searching his for answers or at least a hint at what he was feeling."I don't think it's anything to be worried about. You know your mother, she would say anything to get what she wants.""Are you sure? She sounded pretty serious.""So what, you want to back out?""No. I was just worried about you."He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him. "Look, everything is going to be alright. Nothing bad is gonna happen to you or me, or any one we care about. Okay?""Okay.""I don't want you to get all worked up about something that isn't important. Just g
The Billionaire Son-in-law 100. Surgery
Ivy froze in her steps as Platana snatched a gun from the police officer in front of him and aimed it at her. She knew she was supposed to run, or at least move out of the way but she couldn't.Fear crept into her mind and drilled her to the spot she stood. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed Lucas running towards her but before she could warn him, it was too late. She heard the loud bang of the gunshot and Lucas was bleeding terribly. She watched in horror as her husband fell to the ground and soon he was covered in a pool of blood."No, no, please stay with me." She felt horrible and her entire body was trembling badly.Some of the people present in court ran out while others watched, gasping and pointing at Platana. The lawyer rushed to them and pressed his hands on Lucas's wound. "I already called the ambulance and they're on their way." He announced without taking his eyes off Lucas.She heard him call her name but he couldn't say anything else because of the blood spillin
The Billionaire Son-in-law 101. Coma.
"Your Honor, my client has already been sentenced…for twenty years, I really don't see any reaon we have to add to it." Marco's lawyer had been trying to convince the Judge that he didn't need any extra sentence…and Lucas's lawyer wasn't having any of it."Your Honor, the sentence given to Mr Platana was for his illegal businesses and not for his other crime. Right in front of our very eyes, he attacked an officer of the law, took forceful possession of his firearm and shot an innocent man.""That was an accident.""Maybe, but he intended to shoot and kill an innocent woman. Was that an accident as well?Might I add that the victim is currently on the verge of death. Due to the dangerously high amount of blood he lost, he has fallen into a coma and the doctor said he can't tell when and if he'll wake up.Think about the dilema his wife is in, think about the pain she must be feeling. Obviously, Mr Marco Platana didn't feel remorse for his actions, seeing as he didn't mind committing an
The Billionaire Son-in-law 102. New Friend.
"Hey Ivy.""Mike, what are you doing here?""I'm not allowed to visit?""That's not what I meant, it's just that I thought you were busy with work.""Doesn't mean I shouldn't make time to visit my friend." He said as he sat on a chair next to Ivy."Thanks.""Here, I got you this. I doubt if you've had anything good to eat since all this happened."He was right, her only meals were coffee and whatever the vending machine had to offer. She accepted the burger and drink. "Thanks.""Is he making any improvement?""The doctor said he is.""That's good. I'm sure he'll come around soon.""I hope so.""Ivy, look at yourself…you're a mess. When last did you take a proper shower?""I can't leave Lucas.""But you need to shower and change your outfit. You've been wearing that for almost a week now if I'm right.""I planned on changing but…I don't want to leave Lucas alone.""Okay, how about this? You go home, take a nice long shower, change your outfit and then come back. And I'll stay by his si

"Grover, my old pal. It's good to see you, it's been what…ten years?""Twelve actually.""My, you haven't aged a bit.""Neither have you Festus.""That's a lie but thank you for your flattery.""I had no idea you still remembered the mansion.""Please, this isn't exactly the kind of place a man would forget.""What do you mean?""Don't you know you're the one living the dream?""I'm afraid I still don't understand you.""You get to stay in such a huge house, and I saw your daughter when I came in so it means they get to live here with you.""Well, it's all thanks to a very generous person.""I'm guessing you found your Young master?""I did, and at the right time too.""Oh?""Yes, he was in a very difficult situation when I found him.""And he's better now?""I can't help but think that his life might be in constant danger. As nice a man as his father was, he had lots of enemies, many of which are still alive…amd I fear what they could do to him if they were to find out about his exis
