The Billionaire's Trials 135: I'll Feed You.
"You know too much," Hawk uttered those familiar words again. The next sound that resounded in the room was someone cocking a gun. The hoodlum fell face flat and pleaded for mercy,"One more chance boss. I've pledged my loyalty to you since you found me. I'll never rattle you out." Hawk pointed the gun at him and shot it. The hoodlum gasped in pain. In that dire minute, he turned and lifted his face with great difficulty. His eyes widened in horror as he saw the clear image of the man in front of him. Hawk gave a crooked smile and fired the gun several times till the guard's eyes rolled backwards. During the hoodlum's last minute of consciousness, he couldn't help but think— no wonder... Even though they had been working with Hawk for years, none of them had even seen his real face. No wonder, when they'd come to visit him every single time, it was always in the dark. No wonder, despite his horrible escapades, he manages to escape the cops every single time... It's becaus

'I won't be able to come today,' the words kept resounding in her head. She could almost see the nonchalant way in which he had sent the message. Her lips opened slightly as she panted in anger. Why didn't he say that earlier when she sent the picture of the meals to him? How was she going to finish so many dishes!? Besides, he kept mentioning something that came up... What could that be? Valerie looked at the messages on her phone again and suddenly felt suspicious. What's he hiding? Could it possibly be that he is trying to hide his problems from her? She had watched the news on the airplane on her way here and Greene's conglomerate future wasn't looking too good according to the news. Even the family was said to be experiencing great difficulty. Valerie took one look at the chefs running around and walked to the kitchen. She instructed them gently to stop preparing any more meals and to pack up the ones they have already cooked, so that they should be disposed of. The

Even though he was intrigued to ask, he didn't say anything. He simply gave detective Tom an observant look as the latter brought out a notepad to jot down some things. "Well, I remember the janitor has worked here for almost a decade. When the late chairman mentioned to get him an assistant to take some load off his shoulder, he refused. I thought it was strange then. The man was clearly old but he didn't want to resign nor did he want an assistant," He started. Detective Tom nodded to show he was listening and penned down some words on the notepad. "His name was John... What was his last name again?," Jake raked his hair trying to remember while detective Tom gave him an expectant look. He suddenly remembered and blurted out,"Yes. His name was John Heinrich. But most employees call him old John." The pen in detective Tom's hands shook. For f* sake!? Another Heinrich? First, it was Hawk Heinrich and now John Heinrich? Why did the chairman get so tangled with people bea
The Billionaire's Trials 138: Q's Past Connection With The Cops.
It was already sunset when a police convoy disrupted the lonely atmosphere of the deserted slum area. Stray cats fled at this sudden appearance. A few eyes gleamed in the dark. When the cops began to step out one after the other, the sounds of footsteps hurrying away followed. The cops exchanged a look as they began to scrunch their noses, some even covered theirs because of the horrible scent the environment was emitting. "Sir, is it too late to turn back?," One of the officers asked officer Joe who moved to the front to lead them. The latter looked irritated by that question because he gave the officer that asked the question a harsh look. "Weren't you the ones that dug out the address?" The officer swallowed his words, nodded and moved backwards. He thought when officer Joe mentioned the fact that they got the address at the same time was suspicious, they weren't going to check the location anymore. Who would have known that after just a phone call, he changed his mind and a
The Billionaire's Trials 139: Who Is Annie?
'Q, are you challenging me to solve the case before you do? I'm really curious about your boss— and the Hawaii trip too. I used to wonder how you managed to survive traveling with your lazy trait. Seems like I was wrong,' Joe's response. 'Officer, why do I feel like you are being garrulous tonight? Besides, won't it be a slap in your face if I were to solve the case before you.' Joe could imagine Q's bored face as he sent this message. He hurriedly replied,'It's the nature of a cop to be curious. The chief would be glad to have you back in the team. Why don't you think about it?' Q didn't reply to this message for a few minutes. Joe shook his head and made a clicking sound with his tongue. Seems like he touched Q's sore spot. No one knew why the brat quitted the police force those years when he was clearly so good at it even though he was so young. Maybe he shouldn't have mentioned it. Joe checked his phone one last time. The message displayed was read by the recipient but ther
The Billionaire's Trials 140: One Step Closer To Finding The Culprit.
"Stop looking so tense. I'm sure she'll be fine," Leo tried to reassure Jake when the latter didn't stop looking tense. He kept on clenching and unclenching his fingers. "Why are you so tense though? Or is she perhaps the mysterious fiancee you have been talking about?" Leo's voice was laced with curiosity. "No!" Jake interjected. "I've known Annie since we were children... Since that time she used to walk on the streets in her underwear." Leo's face twitched at this info. The car jerked as it took a left turn. Houses sweeping by. "But you like her, don't you? Did you ever think of confessing or what?" Jake looked up at this question. "I do like her." Leo almost smirked with confidence but the words that followed deflated his confidence. "But not the way you are thinking. I certainly don't like her the way you like young miss." These words caused Leo to blink in surprise. What's this brat saying? Like which young miss? "Boss, even a fool can tell that you like Heaven romantical
The Billionaire's Trials 141: A Planned Accident?
They brought out detective Tom next. His condition wasn't as severe as the chauffeur who was immediately taken to the ambulance. Thankfully the hospital isn't faraway. He had minor cuts and felt light-headed but he was fine. The cops moved to the back. Jake was groaning in pain. He apparently has a few fractured bones and some bleeding injury spots. Leo was brought out last. He seemed fine at first as there weren't any visible injuries except a few shards of glasses piercing into his skin but he was unconscious. Then all of a sudden, he started to spew blood. The blood was slowly but furiously trailing down his mouth, even his ears. The nurses shook when they saw this. One of them checked his pulse. Confirming his pulse was relatively weak, she yelled,"He's having a hemorrhage!" The ambulance had already left though and another one was just arriving. They brought out the stretcher and took Leo in. Then they conveyed him and others to the city hospital. The truck driver was led t

"Good for them," Heaven commented. "I hope the baby doesn't turn out to be like her mother." "They invited everyone of us in the group. It's taking place next week," Mae informed with a smile as she scrolled down her phone. Heaven was surprised. Wait? Didn't she just deliver the baby? "Why so quick? She isn't running away, is she? Is it even safe for her to get involved in such a strenuous event soon?" "It's perfectly fine. It's not like she just delivered the baby. It's been some weeks now. But the news of their wedding ceremony is still trending on the group. If you were active on the group, you would have found out by now," Mae explained. She opened a browser on her phone to check what news was trending or what the current news was. As she was scrolling downwards, she came across a headline. 'THE GREENE'S CONGLOMERATE CEO INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.' She paused and clicked on it. Strangely, the news platform didn't open. It kept on displaying error. She clicked on it ag

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
