The Billionaire's Trials 153: Is Detective Tom... A Snitch? (・o・)
A frown appeared on his face when he saw different kinds of vegetarian dishes. Different types of veggies he hasn't seen or tasted before. Some he couldn't even recognize. He carried one plate of vegetable salad. "What's this? Why are all the food veggies? Are you trying to turn me into a bunny overnight?" He looked clearly displeased as his eyes bore holes into the opened takeouts in front of him. He didn't get to have a decent meal before the accident and now, after the accident that he's hospitalized, he still doesn't get to eat a decent meal. "But that's what the doctor recommended," Larson tried to defend his actions. "He said you aren't allowed to take saucy food, salty food and umm... What else did he say again?" "That's it. I'm leaving," Leo suddenly attempted to sit up and tried to remove the IVF connected to his hand. The doctor, nurses and other occupants of the room were startled at this sudden movement. The doctor and nurses hurriedly tried to stop him. "Sir,
The Billionaire's Trials 154: What Actually Happened.
"I'll bring the main culprit to his knees. I do not believe Hawk has any beef with Leo based on my investigations," The caller spoke and detective Tom went silent for a while. When he spoke, his words were unexpected to even me,"Why are you even using a voice changer brat? If anyone were to hear our conversation, they would think I am a snitch." "I don't know you. I might be willing to let you in this case based on the fact that you are a detective and that the main culprit made his first move on you but I don't trust you," The caller replied with an amused tone. "I know you. The station is filled with every single award and note of respect you won before you left. It's just a pity I wasn't able to meet you before you left," Detective Tom tucked his hands in his pocket and walked down the hallway. His voice was so low that one could barely hear what he was saying. If you didn't look closely and see the phone placed next to his ear, you wouldn't have known that he was on the p
The Billionaire's Trials 155: A Glimpse Of Hawk's Accomplice.
"It's either that person has trusting issues and thought hiring someone to do the job would lead to trouble and he would be caught or perhaps, he simply hated James so much that he wanted to witness what it feels like having a enemy die right in front of him," Q gave two examples of the most possible scenarios that must have occured during James' murder. "So, what you are trying to say is that it isn't Hawk that actually murdered him?" Detective Tom questioned to quench his curiosity. "Yes," Q confirmed. "Hawk is too cowardly to do that. He couldn't have possibly even gone out with that face of his. Besides, he only seems to have targeted James but the accomplice obviously has a kind of deep-rooted hatred for the Greene's. Even Victoria wasn't spared." The only words detective Tom managed to hold on to was 'That face of his.' "Have you seen his face?" He exclaimed. Q shuddered just at the thought of that horrid face again and answered,"Yup. It's horrible." "Is it that—"
The Billionaire's Trials 156: My Intense Curiousity.
According to their conversation just now, they want to get information about Leo's past and if he is connected to the mysterious couple they keep on mentioning, only then are they willing to make their next move— that is to kill Leo. But the problem now is that they are finding it difficult to get any information about Leo because someone seems to be covering it up. Q stretched his stiff fingers which were already getting a bit exhausted from typing for a long period of time, a couple of days. After releasing the tensed muscles, he took a seat with a smile on his face. "Time for my next plan. If all things go well, then I'd be able to fly over to my dear Hawaii in a couple of days."**** "Did you get it wrong again?" Officer Leo asked when the artist that was supposed to be drawing out Hawk's face tore off another sheet of the sketch book in front of him. "Sir, the image isn't coming out well," The artist sounded frustrated. "I do not understand if it is me that keeps on
The Billionaire's Trials 157: Trapping The Murderers.
"I'm sorry grandma," She mumbled in a sleepy tone and turned to face the wall. Her eyes flew open and her fingers distinctively searched the bed stealthily to find her phone. When she found it, she checked the message icon. Frustration displayed on her face when she saw that he hadn't read her message or replied to it. What could have kept him so busy since the previous day that he couldn't even make time to check his message and reply to her? Heaven looked at the message again and mentally cautioned herself when she read the words she had sent to him. It says,'I hate being lied to. Would it kill you to admit that you are with your mistress?' The more she read it again, the more she felt the message sounded childish so she attempted to delete it. Normally, the app would show two options, delete for yourself or delete for everyone. But it wasn't even displaying the latter. It only showed the option delete for yourself so even if she deletes the message, he would still be abl
The Billionaire's Trials 158: Valerie's Visit.
There are long lines of gibberish words or are those codes displayed on the screen. A large proportion of them are written in a bright shade of green font while some others are in red. The only thing I am able to understand is the word in between,"Successful." Q stretched his over stiff muscles as he sat up. He had just hacked the central satellite responsible for hiding all kinds of outdated info and downloaded some encrypted info from the server relating to Leo. Then he released the information on a kind of hidden web world, exclusive to hackers alone. Now he would sit back and wait for Hawk's men to get the encrypted data, decode it and present it to their boss so his next plan can progress. He stood up and went to have a shower because he was starting to stink like he hadn't bathed for days. Which is true, at least a few days. When he finished this, he sat in front of the screen watching Hawk and his men's activities. Boredom soon set in causing him to turn his atte
The Billionaire's Trials 159: Finding Out About Leo's Condition.
Q gave the screen a strange look when he saw the first scene that was displayed on the split videos on the screen. You know, he wouldn't just fix the cameras on one spot. So the split videos on the screen were the camera's footage from the hospital's reception, garage, hallways and so on. The one Q's eyes were fixed on was the one that showed Valerie stripping out of the nurse outfit that she dumped on the floor one after the other. Q whistled at her beauty after she had finished undressing. She was wearing a smoky short dress underneath the uniform which enunciated her curves. She picked up the nurse's outfit that she dumped and delivered the food first. She walked out of the ward within five minutes. Q could only imagine how the patient in that room must have been shocked by the hottie that came to deliver his food. Q watched Valerie till she disappeared off the screen before he turned back his focus to the last video in the split image of the screen. That's the came

"He was, at least that was what the doctor told us," Q continued. "But the murderer's next victim was going to be Leo and worse still, we didn't know the culprit. So we all hatched a plan." "We? Are you working with the cops and the detective?" Wave questioned with a confused look. Q nodded to indicate 'yes'. "We had the doctor sedate him with a heavy dose of tranquilizer to take him out for days." "Why!? That's dangerous to his health!" Heaven shrieked. She could still remember the time she had been injected with that back then at the hospital. Just a little dose and she felt like she was in a different world entirely. She couldn't even describe how her body felt at that moment so how is Leo handling it now? No wonder he looked so weak. Having to deal with tranquilizers in your body system for a couple of days is no small deal. "We needed a bait to lure the culprit out," It was Larson that answered this time. "What other better bait would there be if not the next victim hi

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
