The Billionaire's Trials 006: Grandfather... How do I look?
Leo sniffed and nodded. He wiped the corner of his eyes and read the remaining part of the agreement. The few things Mr James mentioned to him earlier were in it. He continued reading until he saw another baffling request in the agreement. "Grandfather!," He called out, making James turn to look at him sharply. James already knows why Leo called his attention so he just stared back and waited to hear what he had to say. "I have to bear the family's name also?," Leo sounded confused. James nodded. "After signing this agreement, you would be allowed to bear the family name. That is if you want to. Did you read it well? I am not making it compulsory for you to carry on my legacy. It's just a...," He let his words trail off. Leo blinked. It's just what? Why is he leaving his words halfway? "I understand," He assured James and then swiftly signed in the required places. He's gone through the agreement and has no other complaints. He has realized that everything written in the agre

"Old age must be making grandfather go crazy! How could he have even thought of something like that!?," This feminine shrill was what welcomed Leo's presence in the foyer. He stopped walking and gave James a questioning look. "Mom, remind me why grandfather still hasn't gone to the retirement home yet? Isn't he old enough?," Leo's eyes widened at the rude words the unknown female spat out. "Let's go," James nudged, not showing any reaction at the rude words that were clearly directed at him. "That's my father you are talking about. What the heck is wrong with you Heaven?," The second voice made Leo realize that it's not one person that's in the sitting room. There are two... Two females. "Well, he is my grandfather!," Leo finally walked in and saw the lady that had been causing the ruckus. His nose scrunched up as her outfits were the first thing that caught his eyes. Why is she wearing such a short skirt? Her top even has stripes all over to the extent that he can see the co
The Billionaire's Trials 008: He lost platinum and gained a diamond instead!
#Mason's Group Of Companies Acquired Tim's Group Successfully# Leo's eyes turned rigid as he watched Scott smiling happily in a video that was tagged to the headline. The bastard acquired one more asset to his name, making another stance in the business world. He increased the volume of his phone and the room resounded with Scott's voice as he entertained the media happily. "This wouldn't be a success if it wasn't for the capable team backing me up," Scott's words were loud and clear as he pointed to a group of people. The media and the crowd cheered loudly as familiar faces stepped on the stage. Leo shook with anger as he watched the people he had painstakingly trained for years standing behind Scott. Everyone of them is an employee of Platinum. People he had brought up from scratch and modified their talents. Now someone else is reaping off their success. Leo switched off the phone in anger and threw it on the bed. He drained his wine quickly and filled the glass to the bri
The Billionaire's Trials 009: Something is amiss...
"Have you been waiting for long?," Leo's shoes made a low sound as he walked to Jake. The latter was holding a bundle of files in his hands. "No sir," He shook his head. He did not dare tell Leo that he had actually been in the office earlier trying to sort out the files and simplify Leo's work on his first day like the chairman had instructed him to. "Shall we?," Leo motioned and he nodded before finally walking into the room. Leo sucked in a deep breath as he looked around the room in amazement. He felt like he had entered an entirely different room from the one he stayed in yesterday. What the heck happened to the room? Everything has been totally transformed into... A different chic style. Everything in his favorite color. His eyebrows rose involuntarily at this. Without waiting to be asked, Jake explained,"The chairman ordered the redecoration of this office according to your taste as soon as you left the office yesterday." Leo nodded. What more has the old man doing for

So he didn't have to go through the stress of walking to the front. He noticed that the chair at the head of the table was vacant. James was sitting on a chair next to that one. He smiled as soon as he saw Leo walk in. He gestured to him to sit on the chair. The employees exchanged glances curiously as Leo advanced to the chair reserved just for the Ceo. Some of them could barely resist displaying their surprise when he sat down. Their curious gazes were immediately directed to James, demanding for an explanation. When Leo finally sat down, James stood up. Jake was standing behind Leo like he always does for James but now that James has handed that power to Leo, he'd sworn to serve Leo just as he served James. He was holding his notepad as always. "Good morning Ceo James!," The employees chorused. James didn't respond to their greetings. Instead, he shook his head to show his displeasure. "You should show respect to your new Ceo instead," He pointed at Leo and the room turned

Jake gave him a piece of paper that contained all the information he had been able to gather about the owner of Winslow's suites. Leo collected the paper and almost asked him, does he get a paper for every single thing?'' As they walked out of the conference room, James completely forgot, they were suddenly called back,"Leo! That old man is a tricky fellow. So you have to be cautious if you want to progress with the contract." Leo turned to give the man an apologetic look as if to apologize for momentarily forgetting about his presence and also forgetting to bid goodbye before leaving. James gave him a smile that showed that he understands. He glanced at his wristwatch,"You should go now. He hates tardiness." Leo nodded and walked out of the room briskly. James however remained in the room for unknown reasons. ********** The car pulled up in front of a magnificent, high building that could almost be described as a skyscraper. There was a bold sign that displayed the name of
The Billionaire's Trials 012: Mr Winslow.
"I mean how should I address you? Should I call you Leonardo Greene or... Leonardo Paige?," Mr Winslow made sure to emphasize the word 'Paige.' Leo clenched his fists tightly, thankfully the table was able to hide this from Mr Winslow. He gave Mr Winslow a small smile,"Sir... Five minutes is over. Shall we get back to business?" Jake honestly wanted to commend his boss then. His words didn't show his reluctance to answer neither did it offend Mr Winslow in any way. 'The boy is indeed a sly fellow like I had predicted,' Mr Winslow thought, giving Leo a cautious look. He raised his hand and signaled to the lady standing behind him, holding a file. That is probably his secretary or personal assistant. She walked forward and presented the file to Leo. Her eyes linger on him more than it should. Leo ignored her as usual and turned to the file. He'd already read the information Jake wrote down for him on their way here so he understood the vital parts of the contract. He read the f
The Billionaire's Trials 013: But Boss, We Are Both Responsible For This!
"Boss... You know what he will do right?," Jake asked quietly as soon as Winslow's suite building slowly disappeared from behind. Leo looked up and stared out of the car window. He didn't react or say anything for a while that Jake was beginning to wonder if he ever heard him. But then he nodded,"Yes. The next thing a man like him would do is to call my grandfather and complain to him. I wonder why grandfather would ever want to cooperate with him in the first place." Jake thought about it. He also wondered why the chairman would choose Winslow's suites of all suites to cooperate with. Leo suddenly looked up with a strange look on his face. "Jake... Aside from this contract, do we have any other pending or ongoing contracts with them?" Jake brought out a pad like an electronic pad this time not his usual notepad. He browsed through the contents of the pad for a while before turning to Leo. "Yes sir. We have two other ongoing contracts with them that will be completed soon. We

She turned around to go back to the office. "I'm issuing a divorce immediately." Leo pulled her back and informed her amusedly,"Mrs Ceo, you must be married to me for at least six months to be able to issue a divorce." Heaven's eyes turned red from shyness and she spat out,"You trickster!" Leo moved closer and bent low to whisper into her ears,"Did I also trick you last night to... Mmph" His mouth was immediately covered by Heaven who looked around cautiously and flushed endlessly. She was asleep okay. He was the one that took advantage of her! Leo laughed and she was forced to release her hand when his lips vibrated against it sensually. "We didn't go all the way... Perhaps we could explore further tonight and maybe make a baby to appease the Grampa Wave." "You told grandpa?" She shrieked with widened eyes. "He didn't seem pleased," Leo led her to the car. Heaven felt infuriated. "You... You didn't even... Argh!" She screamed when she realized she was lost f

Leo scratched his head sheepishly and answered,"She is fine grandpa. She is asleep." Wave squinted his old eyes at the youngster and asked in a gruff time,"Why did you snatch her away? She only just came back and needs to rest. You didn't—" "Grandfather, we are heading to the bureau tomorrow." There was sudden silence in this revelation. Emily looked surprised and a smile soon spread out on her face. Meanwhile, Wave was speechless. When the words finally sunk in his brain, he yelled,"You rascal! How long have you had your eyes on her? How long has this been going on? Do you really think you'd be able to get her to the bureau without consulting me first?" Leo cringed at the noise. "Grandfather, she agreed to it. I'm afraid she might run off this time if I don't hold her down. Sorry I didn't let you know before this." "No... This is unacceptable! How could you—" "Congratulations cousin! Remember to share cash souvenirs after the registration," Q's voice from the back
170: Wave Wasn't Pleased.
The atmosphere of the car seemed to get even colder with the distance covered. Q quivered and looked consequently from Leo who'd literally turned to a huge block of ice emitting strong frostiness and Heaven, who was just sitting quietly in a corner. 'Just make up already,' he groaned inwardly but didn't say a word. All of a sudden, Leo ordered the chauffeur to stop the car, just a few meters away from Wave's manor. He ignored the looks he got from Q and Heaven and ordered,"Get out." Quan and Heaven exchanged looks confusedly until he repeated his words again,"Get out." The passenger's door automatically opened. Without thinking, Heaven made an attempt to walk out but Leo halted her movement with a cold glare. He was sitting opposite her so as soon as she saw the way he glared at her, she subconsciously sat back. Quan didn't need anyone to tell him that the person asked to get out was him. With grievance in his heart, he walked out. As he watched the car zoom off,
169: Get In.
"Humph!" Valerie harrumphed when they appeared at the doorway of the conference room. She gave the woman, supposedly one of the receptionists, a condescending look and remarked,"Didn't you say I wasn't allowed into the company? Just my name was enough to make him run to me. I'll surely make you regret what you did today." Leo didn't refute her word as he was pushed in. He simply dismissed the receptionist,"You can leave." The receptionist was relieved to leave that place cause she immediately hurried away. "Boss, you have twenty more minutes till the next meeting," Jake bent low to inform him. He nodded and looked at Valerie with that same expressionless face. "You have just ten minutes. Why did you want to see me by all means?" Valerie appeared a bit embarrassed. She didn't think the receptionist would relay her words to Leo exactly as she said them. But she hid her embarrassed expression and frowned at Jake's presence. "I want to speak to you privately. Ask him to lea

But Jake didn't dare blurt out this thought. He cleared his throat and walked forward with a file. Pushing it forward, he said," I arranged your schedule again like you asked me to. Your next meeting is with the multinational company to close the deal...Blah blah blah," He recounted every single meeting schedule he'd arranged and Leo listened quietly while eating. However, the latter's eyes suddenly fell on a strange file. One he's never seen before. "Which file is that?" He pointed at it. Jake looked at it and suddenly reacted like he'd forgotten to mention something while saying the schedule just now. "You asked me to research Mason's company, remember? Initially, I got the result and wanted to inform you but that thing with uncle Miles came up and you asked me to suspend it." As he explained, Leo's eyes darkened. How could he simply forget about those two? He hasn't had his revenge on Scott and Mandy yet, so how could he let them be? He'd completely forgotten about
167: Time Flew.
Leo looked up at the collection of pictures on the table and a soft look suddenly adorned his cold features. At first, he had been very confused as to why Heaven suddenly decided to leave the country months ago. The crisis was over and there were no murder threats anymore so why did she suddenly insist on going abroad? He had been angered and bittered about her decision for a long time, feeling she was inconsiderate of his feelings and simply selfish until he found the real reason why she went abroad. A month after her departure, he began to receive emails from Q with pictures of Heaven's endeavors abroad. Leo unintentionally moved closer to look at the pictures closely. One picture had Heaven wearing this cute overalls with a pencil tucked behind her ear and a folder in her hand. She was standing in front of a Corp. smiling at a company of three unfamiliar men. Leo frowned and suddenly brought out scissors from a drawer to trim out the other Intruders in the picture. Jake

"Mr Greene is fine and out of danger now. There weren't complications during the surgery since we were able to detect the poison early so he is perfectly okay," the doctor watched the people around him breath in relief. They were now in a fresh, clean Vvip ward and Leo was lying unconscious on the bed with Heaven sitting by his side. Receiving no questions, the doctor continued with his speech,"We would just like to put him under observation for some days because the poison weakened his body system and coupled with the large portion of anesthesia found in his blood—" Q coughed nervously when he heard this and subconsciously moved away from Wave who turned to the doctor with a puzzled look. "Anesthesia?" The doctor nodded at Wave's question. "Yes, we discovered that he had been injected with an overdose of anesthesia." Detective Tom itched his head nervously and exchanged a look with Q. Wave looked furious once again. "Just how far was Miles willing to go to get

"We should head there and wait for the operation to be over," Detective Tom suggested and others nodded in agreement to their words. As they left the ward and headed to the operation theater, Larson could still feel something was wrong. He glanced at everyone and turned to Q. "Say..." He whispered. "What happened while I was gone?" "Nothing," Q didn't even look at him. Larson took a stance against the walls as grandma Emily led Heaven to a bench. They had gotten to the operation theater and the bulb was still showing the red light to indicate that there was an ongoing operation. Larson pulled Q back when he saw that the latter was going to join grandma Emily and Heaven on the bench. He moved closer and asked again in a hushed tone,"Nothing?" "Why are you being so nosy all of a sudden? I already told you nothing happened." "I believe you are lying," Larson glared at him but this didn't faze the latter. "If you really don't want to tell, I'll get answers from the detective." "As
164: The Last Son Of The Greene's.
There was a sudden deafening silence in the room. Everyone literally froze at Q's revelation. "What?" Detective Tom managed to choke out. Q nodded. "Yes, my name is Quan Greene." "Which of the Greene's?" It was after detective Tom asked this question did he realize how stupid it sounds. He turned to Wave. "Granduncle, do you secretly have an illegitimate child outside that gave birth to this grandson?" As if on cue, grandma Emily and Wave glared at him at the same time causing him to seal his lips with his fingers. "Don't say nonsense and don't call me granduncle. I am not your relative. Do we look alike?" Wave retorted. "What's going on? Why is the private investigator saying his name is Quan Greene? How is he related to us?" Grandma Emily immediately demanded an answer. Wave ignored them and moved forward. He suddenly held Q and shook the boy. The sudden attack caused Q to feel light-headed. "You stinky child! You've been here the whole time yet you didn't come
