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
The Billionaire's Trials 145: Tea Or Coffee?
It was almost dawn when Leo opened his eyes. It was actually faster than the doctors expected. The doctor had mentioned twenty fours or at maximum, twenty eight hours. But he woke up earlier than the doctors had expected. Jake didn't leave his side the entire night and even nurses frequently visited the room to check on him. When he opened his eyes, his sight was at first fuggy. Then he groaned slightly. His eyes began to see things clearly and the first thing he noticed was the white themed walls and roofing. A frown appeared on his face. Hadn't he been in the car with detective Tom and Jake? Why does he look like he's in the hospital? What the heck is he doing here in the first place? "Boss, I do hope you don't scare us to death like that again," His eyes moved when he heard Jake's voice. When his eyes fell upon the latter that was on a wheelchair, his frown deepened. What's going on? His eyes trailed to detective Tom and his confusion intensified when he saw the soake
The Billionaire's Trials 146: She Cried.
Disappointment was etched in her features when Miles name appeared on the phone instead of the name she was expecting. "Hello grandfather," She spoke with a low spirited mood. "Where are you?" Miles didn't seem to notice the way she sounded. "We are in the house that bastard brought you to but why is no one here?" She could hear Wave cautioning his brother over the phone for calling Leo a bastard. She would also have done the same but something he said caught her attention and caused her not to pay attention to his rude word. If she heard correctly, grandpa Miles just mentioned that no one is home so that means Leo isn't at home. Where could he be? "Grandfather, did you just say Leo isn't at home?" "I really don't care about that bastard. Where are—?" "Grampa!" She interrupted him in a warning tone. She could hear him breath deeply over the phone and then finally say,"Yes, he isn't here. The servants mentioned that their boss hasn't been home since he left yesterd
The Billionaire's Trials 147: Don't Agitate The Patient.
Heaven sniffled and tried to answer clearly,"Yesterday, he suddenly had to leave the office with Jake and detective Tom so—" "Wait... Detective Tom? What was the detective doing there?" "I don't know... *hiccup*... He was just there. I don't know why he came there. I guess it had something to do with grandfather's— Leo wasn't willing to tell me anything. They actually discussed something in the office but I was asked to leave because it was a private conversation." She paused and Larson could hear her cleaning her nose. He couldn't imagine how long she must have been holding on to eventually break down like this. "After they spoke, Leo dropped me off at Mae's place and then they left." "That annoying parrot," Q mumbled, referring to Mae. The phone was on loudspeaker so he could hear Heaven clearly. Larson glared at him and immediately turned off the loudspeaker mode. "Since they left, Leo hasn't returned. He didn't even call. My granduncles are at home now but no one
