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
