The Billionaire's Trials 061: Can You Not Touch Me!?
Even though the question wasn't such a difficult thing to answer, sweat formed on Mr Kian's brows. Isn't it just to negotiate? What's the fuss all about? Before he could respond, someone knocked and walked in. Both Mr Kian and Leo glanced at the door. "Boss... The next meeting is starting in a few minutes. We should head to the conference room now," he informed and Leo nodded. "Give me just five more minutes. I'll be there. I believe Mr Kian has something intriguing to tell me," Leo answered as he turned back to his guest. He even raised his hand up to indicate the number. Jake nodded and exited the room. "Then Ceo, how much of the profit share do you want exactly?," Mr Kian didn't dare to mince words as soon as the door closed. If he loses this chance, he might not be able to get one. Leo drew an invisible circle on the table and answered,"Eighty percent." His voice was so low that the man opposite him almost didn't hear but when he did, he was speechless. Believe me when
The Billionaire's Trials 062: Just Two Days.
The conference room turned silent as everyone looked at the doorway to see the person that walked in. When they saw a furious Scott and his secretary following closely behind him, they looked away and continued their discussion as if his presence didn't matter. "So I assume we all agree to electing him as our next Ceo. He has shown...," A loud bang on the long, rectangle shaped table cut off the man's words. Everyone gave Scott an irritated look but his focus wasn't even on them. He was glaring at the man that had dared to announce the election of a new Ceo. "Mr Joe, I know you have never liked me or agreed to my position but what right do you have to lead the others against me and elect a new Ceo in my absence!," Scott yelled at the man angrily. "Keep your voice down," Mr Joe however didn't react. He maintained a comfortable posture on his seat and asked Scott in a lazy tone,"Who are you?" Scott had no words for this cause he clearly wasn't expecting this question but he so
The Billionaire's Trials 063: Everything Is Wrong With It!
His eyes scanned the table and his mouth twisted in a smirk. Just as he'd expected, the old man didn't drop the file. Seems like he is more stubborn than he had originally thought. Or wasn't his offer good enough? It would be fair if he as the only and highest investor gets the bigger share so why did the old man not agree? Leo shrugged and walked to his seat. Well, that's his loss. "Boss!," Jake ran in and stopped to take in a deep breath. He panted hard as he dropped the jacket on the sofa placed in the office. Leo didn't even look at him. He just sat on the chair and picked up a file. Jake displayed a fake, angry look. "Boss! You are much more cruel than I thought. You didn't even stop for once even though you knew I was chasing after you," He sounded aggrieved. "It's not my fault, you have short legs," Leo mumbled silently. "Huh?," Jake pretended not to have heard what he said. Leo dropped the file and finally looked up at him. "What do you want? Isn't your office the
The Billionaire's Trials 064: No One Would Want You!
Leo stood by and watched Heaven roll her eyes. The brat really has no respect for her mother at all. He looked at her clothes again and looked away. He turned to leave but once again stopped when he heard her reply. "Mom, isn't this habit of yours getting old now?," Heaven sounded annoyed as she asked. "Why do you have to make such a fuss like I am doing something wrong? Most people my age are out there, enjoying lives at clubs without their annoying mothers breathing fire down their necks every second." The silence that followed was unexpected so Leo turned around to observe Victoria's expression. He wasn't expecting the heartbroken look on her face. He glanced at Heaven. Some people her age don't have a mother to fuss about their behaviours yet she's got one and she isn't even grateful. Heck! She even has a loving grandfather but doesn't know how to cherish them. "Heaven... You and I know what people your age do. They don't waste time away at the club with useless friends.
The Billionaire's Trials 065: But Now...?
"That brat huh!? She really knows how to make one furious. Her mother and I are always trying to look out for her. What if they take advantage of her naivety? She can't make use of the fact that no news about her has been uploaded yet. Once her innocence gets tainted, does she think those vultures won't swing to action and make it known to the entire world?," James paused and coughed. Leo hurriedly gave him another cup of water and he gulped it in one go. "When that happens, it will hurt her the most. She'll be the one suffering for her stubbornness and ignorance," James suddenly stopped again and looked at Leo who was sitting down on the chair without saying a word. The young man was just quietly sitting down and listening to his complaints without saying anything. James secretly sighed. If only his granddaughter was as sensible as this godson of his, would he have to worry about them so much? "I'm sorry," Leo looked up when he said this. He looked genuinely confused as he as
The Billionaire's Trials 066: He Is My Cousin-brother.
Leo pushed his seat backwards when he finished ravishing his dinner. He walked out of the dining room just as two maids walked in to clear up the dirty dishes. They greeted him with a bow and a familiar pink colour in their cheeks. He nodded to their greetings and didn't waste any time on climbing the stairs. He was almost halfway up when his phone vibrated. He brought it out and checked the message displayed on the phone screen. He arched his brow when he saw that it was an unsaved number that sent the message. He stopped walking and clicked on the phone to read the message,'Hello cousin, sorry I couldn't say goodbye. When you have time, perhaps you can come over to visit me at the capital.' Leo smiled and hurriedly texted back,'Where exactly is this 'Capital'?' He kept his phone back in his pants pocket and walked up. It didn't take a minute for his phone to vibrate again but he got to his room first before checking the message,'Well, I'm not actually in the capital ri
The Billionaire's Trials 067: How... When... Why?
She was quiet for a long time just watching the rain hit the closed hospital windows mercilessly. It really doesn't rain much in San Francisco but when it does, it rains heavily. She remained so silent for an unbearable period of time that her bodyguard had to call out to her,"Miss...?" That was when she turned back to him and he was a little bit startled to see the hollow look on her face. She tried to sit up and he hurriedly walked forward. He pushed a button by the bedside and the bed automatically rose to a sitting position so Mandy was able to sit up without making a move. He then stood back and waited for her instructions. She finally opened her mouth to say something. Her voice sounded so cold that even him could feel the anger in it. "So they gave him two days to solve the crisis?," He gave her a quick nod. She suddenly laughed. "Two days is too much of a time to waste. They shouldn't have even given him any chance at all. They should have just snatched that posit
The Billionaire's Trials 068: Is It A 'He' Or A 'She'?
"No, it's... fine... Good night... and... make sure to... drive... safely," she immediately stopped them after remembering the hurtful words her mother said earlier that day. It won't be nice to bring the people she had referred to as 'useless friends' into the house. They still looked worried though and reluctant to leave. She had to wave at them and then slowly staggered into the house. She almost fell but luckily, someone caught her. She looked up but couldn't recognize the person holding her until he said,"Young miss, welcome back. Why did you stay out so late though? Madame was so worried that she waited for a long time in the sitting room but you didn't show up." The heavy french accent was evident in his voice. It's the old butler. Heaven immediately pulled away and tried to stand upright. She hiccuped and thanked him,"Don't... worry uncle.... I'll be... fine. Good... night." Then she staggered up the stairs. She walked into the hallway and rested against the wall, g

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,

"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

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

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
