The Billionaire's Trials 117: Made A Certain Director Tongue-tied.
"With four votes, it has been concluded that Mr Greene won. So Mr Greene Miles will be our next chairman!" Jake gulped and held the door frame as he watched the middle-aged man in the middle of the conference room announce the most absurd news he has ever heard. How could these groups of greedy old wackos elect someone that isn't even part of the directing board? Someone that has never been part of the directing board! He glanced outside the room once again hoping to catch sight of his boss this time but the empty hallway entertained his eyes. He sighed in disappointment and looked away. If the boss doesn't really show up today, he is surely going to lose the company. It's even worse that he as the assistant can't do anything to assist his boss. But with Miles in the board meeting and others, he isn't in a favorable position to counter their decision. Who would have thought that Miles would even show up? "But Mr Greene isn't even part of the directors!," Jake heaved a s
The Billionaire's Trials 118: Are You Scared Uncle?
"Grandfather, why are you still on the seat? Kindly stand up," Leo appeared to be pissed off but he tried to control himself. After all, this is Miles... Miles Greene, brother of that kind-hearted man, James. The least he could do to honor the dead is to show some respect to his brother even if the man is undeserving of his respect. Ever since that welcome party James threw for him at the family house, he had sensed some kind of animosity. Not towards him only. He had sensed some kind of animosity from Miles and his family towards Heaven, Victoria and James but he had immediately dispelled the thoughts. Why would someone show that kind of hatred towards his own brother? But now... Miles' action has proven to him that he might not be entirely wrong about what he felt at that party. Your brother had just died. You should be mourning him not trying to steal away the company from the person he left in charge! Shouldn't you show some trust to your brother? At least, he wouldn't have ch

Jake snickered as he looked at the old men. Have they no shame at all? They were all supporting Miles just now before Leo arrived. But his powerful demeanor has scared them all to make them want to switch sides huh? Jake glanced at Miles and couldn't help but feel a premonition with how calm he was. This old man won't let Leo have his way easily will he? Gulping slightly, he looked at his wristwatch and peeped out of the room again to see if anyone was in the hallway. At the sight of the empty hallway, a huge frown appeared on his face. "Why isn't he here yet?," He mumbled slowly. "Alright then. Let's have another voting session," Leo's loud voice drew his attention. The directors heaved a sigh of relief. But some of them couldn't help stealing glances at Miles who hasn't uttered another word since Leo started selecting out the directors. Would he really let this juvenile Ceo win? But just as Jake thought, immediately the directors agreed to organize another voting se
The Billionaire's Trials 120: Jealous Tone.
Heaven adjusted her sunshades and walked into the restaurant. She wondered why Mae asked her to come here. Is this place supposed to cheer her up or what? But the moment she walked into the seafood restaurant, she understood why. She sucked in a deep breath as she took in the beauty of the restaurant. The interior design is familiar to her because she's the... Nevertheless, she never got to see the result so now staring at the beautiful interior design of the warm and bustling restaurant actually made her feel less tense. What more? The restaurant is by the sea side so those that get to sit by the window side also gets to experience the water movement. Glancing at the number on her phone, she headed to a table and was pleased to discover that it's actually by the window side. As she made her way to the table, she didn't notice the way heads turned, following her movement till she sat down. There weren't alot of people though since it's just mid-day. She was just about
The Billionaire's Trials 121: Coincidentally Or Intentionally?(─.─||
Heaven ignored her and looked around, wondering if it's alright to remove her shades and scarf as she really isn't in the mood to answer paparazzi questions now in case there's one lurking around the corner. "Nah... Nah... Nah, just keep that on. I brought you out here for a nice, relaxing lunch not to be bombarded by hungry reporters," Mae warned as if she already sensed what she was thinking about. She resisted an urge to roll her eyes at this statement. Why not just book a room for them alone? "I just thought it would be less depressing with the presence of others here," Mae answered again if she had just read her mind. "Would you quit doing that?," Heaven snickered with a fake frustrated look. Mae chuckled again as a waiter headed to their table and collected their menus. His eyes stayed a minute longer on Heaven before walking away like he didn't want anyone to catch him staring. His actions didn't escape Mae's eyes because her smile grew wider. "Shouldn't you two ti
The Billionaire's Trials 122: Q... is back.
"Mr Hawk!?," Someone exclaimed again. "How come you are here?" Everyone turned to the director that uttered these words. It was the same pot bellied director that's been supporting Miles this whole time. They all cast suspicious glances at him and he realized what he had said. "What do you mean? Can I not be here?," Mr Hawk questioned as he entered the conference room in long, confident strides. "No! No, that's not what I mean," The director hurriedly denied and tried to reframe his words. "You have never shown up at any of the board meetings so I was naturally surprised to see you like I'm sure others are too." The room nodded with agreement. Mr Hawk smiled and picked a seat casually. "Carry on. I am not disturbing your activity, am i? I'm only slightly upset that no one informed me of such an important voting session." As he said this, his eyes trailed to Leo again. The latter was already watching him so their eyes collided. They shared a smile that didn't reach either of t
The Billionaire's Trials 123: It Made No Sense At All.
Jake appeared puzzled. Q? Who is that again? Leo recognized the look on his face and shook his head in disappointment. "Have you forgotten so soon about the private investigator Larson hired?" It was as if a light bulb was suddenly switched on because Jake immediately nodded though the look on his face wasn't a happy one. He could still remember their last meeting with Larson back then at the hospital. He could still remember how the so-called lawyer shamelessly hogged all of his boss's attention. "What has Q got to do with all this boss?," He discreetly reminded Leo of the question he had asked. "He sent all those information to me just before I got to the company this morning," Leo enunciated with a little smile. "I do not know he got to know that I was going to attend a board meeting." Thinking about what had happened in the conference room earlier made Jake boil with anger again. "They really thought uncle Miles would become the new chairman of the company. I wonder how he's
The Billionaire's Trials 124: Liar!
Jake subtly moved an inch closer to listen to the conversation and unknowingly bent low. "I already informed them. Dad knows I'm here but he doesn't know the reason. I just wanna make sure you are really fine as you claim to be." Jake's eyes widened when he heard the familiar pleasant voice. Valerie? Valerie is in San Francisco? "I already told you that I'm fine. Send the name of the hotel you lodged in to me. I'll visit you as soon as I'm through with my workload," Leo didn't notice Jake eavesdropping. He had even forgotten about the latter's presence. "I'm not at any hotel. I changed my mind. Father has a small villa here that is barely used. I'll send the address to you. Come over as soon as you can," Her voice lowered with each word, sounding sultry to one's ears. Jake suddenly felt aggrieved. He is the one clearly engaged but why is it the boss that's enjoying a sensual relationship like this? "Sure," Leo's reply was short. The phone went silent and Jake stood

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

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
