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

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

"Dude, relax. I only told Mr Wave because he will know how to hide it away from them. Besides, there was no one else I could tell because we all know Mr Miles hates your guts." "That's the old man's problem. I hope he knows quarreling with a young one like me will only lead to a shorter life span," Leo shrugged as he switched on the phone with his free hand since the second one is connected to an IV. Jake and detective Tom exchanged a speechless look at the rascal's words. "The doctor said you'll have to stay here for a minimum of three days. But I told him you are staying for the maximum period to recuperate well." This statement earned him a hard glare from Leo to which he responded with a smile. Nothing makes him happy right now more than making this rude brat miserable for as long as he is gonna stay in the hospital. "Wait, why do you get to make all the decisions for him?" Jake asked with a confused look. "Well, I had to tell the doctor a long story of how we both
The Billionaire's Trials 149: She's Angry... And Jealous.
"What's wrong?" Mae came over, fully dressed. She was carrying a sling bag. "Did you finally manage to get through to brother -in-law?" Hearing that made Heaven even more irritated than she already is. She walked away without saying a word. Mae was like 'huh? What just happened?' She is completely unaware of the storm that's brewing in Heaven's mind. 'Fine, you go spend all your time with your mistress. What's her name again? Yes... Valerie. Go be with Valerie. I don't care!' Heaven clenched her fists as she said inwardly and I'm rolling in laughter. Wait, what? I think I should make this my normal slang now. I can't believe this is what Heaven is actually thinking. What would Leo say if he knew what someone is thinking here? Don't you think life works in funny ways? Valerie is over there somewhere, thinking of Heaven as a rival she hasn't even met yet. Meanwhile Heaven is over here also thinking of Valerie as a rival— Am I allowed to call her a rival though? Because at
The Billionaire's Trials 150: Attempting A Matricide.
Somewhere in West side of San Francisco_ "Why are there so many useless men around me!? You all keep becoming useless each passing day!?" Hawk yelled. He collected a revolver from a man standing close to him and actually shot it at the man. The other men surrounding him didn't dare to make a sound as the one that was shot gasped loudly in pain and fell down to his death. Hahaha, are they thinking if they hold their breath and don't make a sound, perhaps Hawk wouldn't even remember that they are there? "Where is the team I instructed to guard my mother!?" He scowled, pointing his gun at another man. The man looked cold and unshaken on the surface but if you looked closely, you will actually notice that his legs or is it his knees are shaking. A group of four men immediately rushed out and bowed their heads, probably saying their last prayers. They know if they stayed back a little longer and are later caught or found, the death they would suffer then would be terrible. Hawk

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
