The Billionaire's Trials 040: Scott's Dirty Little Secret
Sarah lowered her head when she heard the question Mandy asked her. “Y-yes I-I-am fine,” she stuttered, refusing to look up. Mandy was confused by Sarah’s attitude. First, it was her unusual sweaty body and now she is stuttering. She looked at Sarah sharply. Though she is acting suspicious, it’s none of her business. “Have you seen Scott?” Sarah swallowed nervously when she heard this question. She shuddered and looked even more sweaty. But she noticed she was already behaving suspiciously so she decided to control herself. She raised her face to look at Mandy then she smiled. “No, I don't know where he is.” Sarah lied without even blinking. Mandy found Sarah’s smile weird so she gave her a disgusted look. Sarah on the other hand prayed for Mandy not to go inside the kitchen after all she hates the kitchen. But when she noticed that Mandy was walking towards the kitchen, she rushed to her. “Ma’am, do you want me to get you anything from the kitchen?” She immediately asked.
The Billionaire's Trials 041: His Favourite Dish.
Leo stopped thinking about it. He decided to sleep and ignore those annoying yet painful memories that refuse to leave.**************** The next morning, Heaven was the first to wake up. She went downstairs and told the chef to make Leo’s favorite for breakfast. She is unaware of how much her mother detests that dish. She went back to her room and took her phone. Turning it on, she took a picture again as usual. She used a popular caption: 'My morning face. And immediately she posted the picture, she walked into the bathroom. She seemed very excited about today that she is even confused on why she seems very excited. When she was done taking her bath, she tied a towel around her chest and walked out of the bathroom. She walked to the closet and wore her clothes. Meanwhile, Leo had already woken up as well. He went to the bathroom and washed his face, then he brought out his toothbrush. He brushed his teeth and when he was done, he looked at his face in the mirror. He l
The Billionaire's Trials 042: "Grandfather, I..."
Everyone was stunned by Victoria’s voice. Leo stopped eating and turned to look at her. Heaven removed her hands from covering her face so that she could see what’s going on. James turned to look at his daughter. He was upset by her noise. “What is your problem, Victoria!?” James raised his voice at her for the first time in a while. He wouldn’t have raised his voice if she shouted like that, startling everyone. Victoria was angry because her dad yelled at her without trying to know why she shouted. Leo was more concerned about James' health so he gave him a look trying to tell him to calm down. James understood the look clearly so he tried his best to stay calm. “Dad, you didn’t even bother to hear me out. You didn't even ask me why," Victoria answered. When she noticed James was not interested in what she had to say again, she stood up and walked out of the dining room. Heaven felt bad for her mom because she is the one that told the chef to prepare the egg salad with t
The Billionaire's Trials 043: I'm Sorry.
James was a little upset because he felt Leo should have told him immediately instead of making him start shouting at the chef the way he did. “I’m sorry grandfather.” Leo apologized slowly. Heaven was quiet. She was surprised to see that Leo took the blame for what he knows nothing about. “It’s fine. You don’t know anything about her allergy to eggs. I’ll calm her down.” James said calmly to Leo. Then he stood up and walked out of the dining room. Leo felt bad because he knew that James was upset but he tried not to vent it on him. Heaven felt ashamed of herself for doing something that she couldn’t own up to at the end of the day. She couldn’t even look at Leo’s face because she was too ashamed to do such a thing. “You can go.” Leo said to the assistant chef and the chef that were on their knees. Heaven stood up immediately and crossed the assistant chef. “I’m sorry.” she had to swallow her pride and apologize to the assistant chef. Leo saw what she did and he was happy
The Billionaire's Trials 044: Dad, Did You Punish The Chef?
Leo was still in deep thought. He was thinking about the promise he made himself. He almost forgot he was doing something before he remembered the document he was signing. “Sir, are you okay?” Jake asked when he noticed Leo was lost in thought. The question brought Leo back to reality immediately. He moved all the papers aside and stood up from where he was sitting. He walked out of his office so that he could think clearly for a few minutes. Jake was confused because he was wondering what suddenly went wrong that's making his boss act the way he is acting. “What is wrong with me?” Leo asked himself and put his hand on his waist. He sighed heavily and finally decided to stop thinking about things that will ruin his mood. He walked back into the office and sat down. He shifted the papers closer to him and started signing them. When he was done, he handed them over to Jake who quickly put the files in the right place.*********************** Heaven was confused at this point
The Billionaire's Trials 045: The Date.
After checking out the delivered package, Leo smiled and kept it away. He'd realized from the moment he got home that he was late. So they must have probably had dinner without him. He decided to go to bed after taking his shower.*************** The next morning, he woke up very early and left for work without even taking breakfast. Heaven woke up tired because she couldn’t sleep well. She kept thinking of how to sort things out with her friends and what to tell them. She stood up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. She checked her face in the mirror and noticed her eyes were a little puffy. “It’s so obvious.” she groaned and walked out of the bathroom. She just went back to the bed and laid down on the bed. When Leo got to the office, he went straight to the board meeting that was supposed to be held in the evening. “Sir here.” Jake said and handed the tab to him the moment he sat down in the meeting room. They proceeded with the meeting and within some minutes, t
The Billionaire's Trials 046: What Are You Wearing?
It was when he turned back to look at her that he realized that something was different about her. His eyes darted up and down, scrutinizing her departing figure. That's when it clicked in his head. Her clothes... He'd gotten used to seeing her in modest clothes that he had completely forgotten the first time they met. She was wearing an extremely revealing cloth then and she is doing the same now! He shook his head. He gets that they are at home and they can wear anything but does she have to wear such revealing clothes? If the stripes on her shorts had gone higher, it would have given a free display of her bum. Leo almost choked when he realized his train of thoughts. He looked away and pretended to cough. Even so... She is aware of the important event that is going on today. Does she have to dress that way? With this thought escaping into his mind, he hurried after her. He managed to catch up with her just before she began to descend down the spiraling stairs that had bee
The Billionaire's Trials 047: Very Special Guests.
"Of course, grandfather looks handsome. They had better not drool over you tonight cause I have also chosen a similar tux," Leo teased as he took James by hand and led him to the nearby couch. The room boomed with James loud laughter. "Silly boy... I'm too old for that." Leo looked like he wanted to refute James' words but the latter didn't give him a chance to do so. "Now that I remember... Leo, I was looking for you cause I wanted to inform you that I have invited some very special guests tonight," James' face turned serious with these words and Leo couldn't help but wonder who the 'VERY-SPECIAL-PEOPLE' were. "Okay," He gave a curt nod not knowing what to do with this piece of info. "So... You can't let anything go wrong at the party and you mustn't let any word anyone says to you get the best of you," Leo listened attentively to James advice. Why does this sound familiar? Didn't James also say the same thing when he was going to introduce him to Victoria and Heaven? "

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

166: Who Said I Like Him?
"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

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
