The Billionaire's Trials 137: Let's Try It Again ( ╹▽╹ )
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
The Billionaire's Trials 142: He's Different.
"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
The Billionaire's Trials 143: Suspension.
The bulb usually placed just above the door of the operation theater displayed a red light for a long period of time till it finally changed to green and then switched off completely. The door opened and doctors walked out. Nurses pushed out a stretcher occupying an unconscious Leo. Detective Tom and Jake were waiting outside, on a bench when they pushed him out. The former's head was bandaged with a thin gauze while Jake was sitting on a wheelchair. He was instructed by the doctor and nurses to be placed under administration and observation because of his fractured bones but he refused. His boss was in the operation theater. No one knows what is going on so how could he be at rest in an operation theater? If only he hadn't insisted they followed the ambulance to the hospital, this would never have happened. How would he explain this to Heaven or her granduncles? What about the directors too? Thankfully, he had quickly swung into action and had given instructions to his
The Billionaire's Trials 144: Safe.
He walked out of the administration department with a surreal expression. He stared at the thin paper in his hand. 'Letter Of Suspension' was written in block letters. As detective Tom walked to his car, he couldn't help thinking that something was amiss. How could a complaint from the apartment owner just get him suspended like that? The chief isn't someone that would easily punish his officers or detectives for an offense so meaningless— except he is threatened. Detective Tom's feet automatically halted as a thought escaped into his head. Threatened!? By who? Who would have the power and authority to threaten the chief of the police force? Besides, even if he infiltrated a private property or broke into it, he didn't touch anything or anyone and had immediately even informed the cops when they found Annie so how could a mere complaint of infiltrating a private property have landed him in suspension? It just doesn't make sense. If Hawk is indeed the murder culprit, how is
