The Return of Billionaire Quincy chapter 131
Quincy got to his office, anticipating the time he would have to leave for the event that Mr. Prescott was holding.“Anyways, I didn't see you to be a person who would wear this flashy wristwatch before the event. Or is that how excited you are about the event?”“Nah. It's an instruction. They want us to have it on, hours before we would get to the venue.”“Oh, I see. Alright then. All schedules have been cleared for today, so you have enough time to prepare for the event.” Scott informed him.“Alright, thanks. The event would start by 10 am, so I have enough time left.”“Yes. This is just 7:30 am, so whatever thing you might want to do before 8:30 am, please do it now. We should be leaving by 8:30 am to get there on time.”“Well, some people do arrive late. It's already a norm.” Quincy uttered, trying to ease up Scott's shoulders.“Not at this event. More information was already sent to your email which I went through. Lateness won't be condoled. 10:00 am and the gates would be close
The Return of Billionaire Quincy chapter 132
Kohler's parents had accepted her in and while they were trying to be on her good side because they knew they were the ones who pushed her to get married to someone else twice, both men turned out to be jerks.She was in her room, leaning on the headboard, thinking of how she wanted to start a new life as it felt like it had been destroyed, and there was no urge to continue with anything.Suddenly, her phone vibrated and she glanced at it but was not in the mood to do anything about it.“Not like there's anyone special in my life. No investors, no man, no child.” She uttered in bitterness.Just when she wanted to turn to the other side of her bed, her phone beeped again.Her curiosity wouldn't let her be this time. So, she reached out to her phone and clicked on the message she got from an unknown number._*Let's meet up at Delicacy Restaurant. There is something important we need to talk about.*_Kohler became curious and thought about it for a while. Then she texted back._*Who are

On the other hand, Quincy was in his car, leaning his back against the back seat.“We're almost there,” Scott informed him and Quincy let out a sigh.His mind drifted back to when he was on a call with Mr. Daniel.~flashback~“I kind of have an event to attend by that time. Is there a way you can kindly make some time for me soon?” Quincy requested politely.“I'm afraid I can't, Mr. Anderson. Well, I'm sure you'll be fine, with or without my information. Have a nice day.”“Wait. Hold on, Mr. Daniel.” Quincy said, but heard the constant beeping of his phone which showed that Mr. Daniel had hung up.“Shit!” He cursed sharply.“What's going on, Quincy?” Lauren asked, looking concerned.Quincy found it difficult to speak because anger filled his heart. It was annoying that the man didn't consider other people's feelings or whatever they were doing.Somehow, he wished he hadn't come down to his car to check whose car had run into the wall that night.~back to reality~I sighed again, stari

“Alright, so what impression did I make of you?” Quincy asked, playing along.“Well, you made a really…. good one.” She chuckled and gulped down the remnant of the wine in her glass.Quincy smiled as well, also feeling relieved that it wasn't something he had to worry about.“Well, I'm glad to hear that. By the way, how long have you known Mr. Prescott?” Quincy asked, hoping to get any extra information from anyone.“It's been over a year now.”“And… how has working with him been?” “I have never been able to strike a deal with him actually, and that's because of just one thing.”“What's that?” Quincy asked, getting more curious.“We've never been on the same clock. When he is ready for some collaborations which would also need my major involvement, I might have been very busy and it sometimes goes the other way round.”“Oh, I see. I'm sorry about that. So, why do you think you were invited?”“The same reason you were. I came because I wanted to see the world he has in mind to create.

As Quincy and Kenzy left the elevator, they got back to the hall and it seemed like as if everything was as they left it; including everyone.“Uhm… Mind if we can grab a drink?” Kenzy asked, with a smile.“Thanks for the offer, Kenzie,” Quincy said, then walked a little distance from her.He had had enough of wandering with her. He needed to focus on the reason he was here and wasting his time with her would only make space for regrets.He picked up a glass of wine and looked around as he sipped it, then he dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone to reach out to Scott.“How's it going in the car?”“A little boring though. How's the event going? They haven't started anything yet, I guess.”“No, they haven't. But I'm guessing they should start soon, though. Did anything suspicious happen outside?”“No. Just the normal thing. Checking people and allowing them in.”“I see. Alright then. Talk to you later. The atmosphere has changed. Seems Mr. Prescott will be coming up s

“Sir, we need you to duck!” The man raised his voice and Quincy bent down immediately only to hear the sound of a gunshot.The man had pulled the trigger but on who?Quincy turned to look back and saw someone lying flat on the ground and a few guards ran towards him.“Sir, he could have used you as a hostage.” The man who pulled the trigger informed him politely.“Who is he?” Quincy asked as he rose to his feet, still in shock.“He's just an antagonist. He promised to come here to destroy things, so Mr. Prescott already gave us an order to watch out for him.” He said to Quincy.Quincy looked closely at the man who was shot and he didn't look anything like anyone he knew. What was even more shocking was that he had a gun and could have gotten rid of him.“Well, thanks for saving my life.” Quincy appreciated him and then he saw Scott coming from a distant place. Quincy walked up to him briskly, wondering where he had gone so that he didn't answer his calls. “Where exactly have you bee

“Why are some people after your lives? About two people have threatened me to take your life. If you want to see me for more details, we can meet at Sky Blue Restaurant. I’ll be reserving the rooftop for us to talk in private.”Quincy wondered if it was true or if she was just looking for a way to get him to see her. But then, from how much he knew about her, he didn’t think he was someone who would fake that information just to get him to see her.“Is anything wrong?” Lauren asked, noticing his change of mood.Quincy slid his phone back into his pocket and looked up at her.“No. Not really.” He said, acting like he wasn’t there anymore.“But you are looking disturbed. Are you sure you aren’t keeping anything that I should know, from me?”Quincy then sighed placed his hands on her shoulders and looked into his eyes.“I should sue you for caring too much. Well, there is nothing wrong. But I might have to see her like you advised, or she may never stop sending messages.” He said to her,
The Return of Billionaire Quincy chapter 138
Quincy was horrified by the sight of the dark veins previously concealed by Kohler's sleeves. They scattered across her arm like cobwebs, and her arm was so pale and sheet white that Quincy could bet that if he used a knife to slit her arm, no blood would come out. How could anyone be so wicked?What was she to do? Wait, why was she bearing it? She ought to have done something about it.“And the antidote?” Quincy asked, looking at Kohler. Her large eyes glistened, and she pulled up a little smile, although Quincy could tell it was a hundred percent fake.“The doctors can't even identify the poison, not to talk of its antidote. I've been taking different drugs daily, but I feel worse. They're not working, and it feels like I'm abusing those drugs. They're working together with the poison to kill me. I'm hopeless.” Kohler kept her smile on, and Quincy's heart broke.“No, don't say that.”“At least I'm going to see Eunice.” She gave a bitter laugh and looked at Quincy. “I just needed to

Chapter 166Kohler slowly stirred awake the next morning to the soft strains of music drifting through the air. Her mind, still foggy with sleep, searched for the familiar warmth of Quincy beside her, but the space in the bed was cold and empty. Confused, she opened her eyes, blinking away the haze of dreams. As her gaze adjusted, something unexpected caught her attention—rose petals, scattered across the bed in delicate patterns of red. Her heart skipped a beat. She sat up, her fingers brushing over the soft petals, a surprised smile forming on her lips. The roses didn’t just cover the bed; they formed a trail on the floor, leading out of the bedroom like a path designed to guide her somewhere.Curiosity piqued, Kohler swung her legs off the bed and stood, her bare feet padding softly across the floor. The music played softly in the background, its romantic melody weaving into the air like a whisper meant just for her. Her heartbeat quickened, and she followed the trail of rose peta

Chapter 165Lauren stiffened in her seat, her eyes narrowing as she recognized Talia. Damien stood immediately, stepping in front of Lauren protectively. “Talia, this isn’t the time,” he said, his voice firm but calm.Talia ignored him, her eyes locked on Lauren. “I should have known you’d go crawling to her the moment I was out of the picture,” she sneered. “But you’re making a mistake, Damien. You’re supposed to be with me!”Damien clenched his jaw, frustration rising. “You need to leave. Now.”Talia took a step closer, her gaze flickering between Damien and Lauren. “You think she’s better than me?” she spat. “You think she’ll stick by you the way I did? She’ll break your heart.”Lauren stood up, her eyes steady and calm. “Talia, this is between Damien and me. I understand that you’re upset, but barging in like this won’t change anything.”Talia’s face twisted in anger. “You think you’re so special? You’re nothing, Lauren. Nothing compared to what Damien and I had.”Damien moved clo

Chapter 164Darius studied Kohler for a moment, his expression hard to read. The tension between them hung in the air like a thick fog, both of them playing a delicate game of manipulation and trust. "I'll be the judge of that," he replied, his voice calm but sharp, like the edge of a blade.Kohler chuckled lightly, masking the slight tremor that threatened to creep into her voice. "Fair enough," she said. "But you know I wouldn't be here if I didn't have what it takes."Darius took a step closer, his gaze narrowing. "We'll see." He glanced over at Quincy, who remained motionless in the backseat, supposedly unconscious. "You’ve done well to bring him here. Now, let’s see if you can handle what comes next."Kohler swallowed hard but nodded, reminding herself to keep calm. Quincy had drilled into her the importance of staying in control. "Of course," she said, standing tall.Darius gestured to one of the men, and he stepped forward with a syringe filled with a clear liquid. "This," Dari

Finally! Darius was ready to meet with Kohler as he had trusted her well enough. He had sent poison to her and told her to induce it in Quincy’s drink, and that’s only when he could trust her.“Is everything set?” Quincy asked Kohler.“Yes. I’m all set.” She responded. “Wow. The color looks just perfect on your body. He is going to fall for this.” Kohler chuckled.“I know, right? When he gets caught, he would never put his loyalty to a bad man.” Quincy said with a smirk. “Alright, it’s time to go,” Quincy said, then they left the house, and Quincy was laid in the backseat of his car.Kohler then got into the driver’s seat and drove off to the location to which she was asked to come over. The ride was a little long, and the only reason he would do that was because the place would be a secluded area.That was the best kind of place for them to carry out operations like that.“Just ensure you do not act tense. You have to be as fluid as possible.” Quincy lectured her, and she nodded. “A

A few days passed, and a day came when Damien’s grandfather called, and said he wanted to see both him and Lauren. “What do you think he might want to say?” Lauren asked him, out of curiosity. “Well, I don’t know. But I’m hoping it’s good news.” Damien said as he drove. At least, for the past few days that had passed, they had learned to tolerate each other again, so Liam didn’t need to be interrupting at every interval. Lauren felt herself tense as she didn’t know what the outcome could be. For days now, she had not seen Quincy, and then he had also made up with her by calling her and explaining the situation to her. She was glad that he at least explained to her, but she just couldn’t help but feel that he still had at least, an atom of love for Kohler, and that hurt her deeply each time she thought about it. Soon, they got to his family house, and on getting there, it was only the grandfather who was present at the dining table. But there was no food served there. “Welcome,
chapter 161
Minutes before Liam answered the call, Damien was pacing around with his phone and leaned close to her ear, listening to the now annoying dial tone.“What the hell!” He said sharply under his breath as he kept on waiting.It was becoming frustrating that Liam hadn't answered his call ever since he left earlier with Lauren.The fact that he hadn't answered his call only made him a little worried because his phone was right in the car with him. He was hoping they hadn’t gotten into an accident or something.But then, even though they didn’t get into an accident, another reason he might not answer his call could be that his phone was on silent, but he wasn’t certain if it was on silent. But at least, he ought to know of their current whereabouts and if she was fine, but curiosity was beginning to eat her out.“If I still can't get through to them after calling and calling, I might have to get to the hotel to find out myself; hopefully Lauren would have checked in safely.” He said to him

“Pfft!” Lauren scoffed and rolled her eyes at the answer he gave her.There was no way on earth that his answer was believable.Does Talia mean nothing to him? Lies. She said in her mind.“Oh, come on. Do we need to introduce lies to this newly found relationship? A friend of mine who looked into the case quickly told me that Talia is a crazy woman.” Lauren uttered, peering into Damien’s eyes as she waited for a response from him regarding that.But suddenly, his calm expression turned into a displeased one. His brows curved downward, and he maintained a cold look.“You know what? I’m not in any way comfortable with you keeping people like that as friends, talk more of someone that close to you since she doesn’t know how to mind her business.”“And how should that be something for me to consider? Remember, our contract doesn’t include you getting to choose my friends.” Lauren spoke also raising her brows.It was quite annoying to her that he had to attack her friend just to play his

Damien didn't see this coming. He never thought that his mother would go to the extent that she didn't want him to get married to anyone but Talia. “Lauren!” Damien called out as he ran after her.She stomped her feet while walking towards the gate, and wasn’t willing to answer him. “Lauren!” He called out to her again as she passed by the gates, and then she stood close to the car and turned abruptly to him.“What is it!” Lauren snapped at him. “You brought me here just so your mother could speak demeaning words to me?” she questioned, feeling so much hurt in her.She hadn't recovered from the one Quincy gave her, so getting one from his mother wasn't what she signed up for.Suddenly, she noticed a lady walking towards them, and while she smiled at Damien, she gave her a sneer.The lady walked up to Damien and placed her hand on his chest as she trailed her finger on it. “Baby, I’m so happy I found you here.” She spoke cutely. Lauren rolled her eyes and was about to walk away wh

Lauren was sobbing so hard in his car after letting out what was disturbing her. She was able to talk to him because they also related like friends at some point before the whole loving situation came in.“It's okay, Lauren. I understand you, and… I think I can also help you.” Damien said to her.As Damien let out those words, she turned to look at him with curiosity.“You can help me? How?” She asked and sniffled.“I'll just help you get your man. We'll find ways to do that, but you must help me in return. More like we should have a bargain.” Damien told her.“Okay, what's that?” “I want you to act like you're my fiancee and we'd like to get married. Just act that way before my mom and grandfather, then we're good to go.” Damien asked of her.That was a little difficult to do because claiming such could end up destroying her marital life one day, and she didn't want to take chances like that.“If you're scared about this, I'm assuming, you are one hundred percent safe,” Damien said,
