The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 116: Shared Burden
"What was all that about?" Robert thundered as soon as he walked through the elevator door. Juliet stood up at once, her hands rubbing each other in a nervous manner. "I'm absent at the office for one day. Just one day. And you get in a fight? Seriously?""I'm really sorry, sir." She started, her being filled with remorse. "It wasn't intentional at all. But Hailey...""Of course, you'll blame it on your colleague." He paused and sighed, moving from one corner of the room to another. "Sit." He commanded. Juliet immediately sat down, absolutely in the dark of what would happen next. He walked directly to her desk and placed both his hands on the table. "Now, tell me." He continued calmly. "I want nothing but the truth.""She was picking on another colleague. And I...""And that was enough to cause a fight?""It's really not that. But she started it. She began hurling words at me. I couldn't stay silent after a while so I talked back at her.""Are you serious?" He asked in surprise, in
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 117: Final Resolution
Robert flashed a short smile as his friend walked out. He watched him go, suspicious of the eye Liam looked at Juliet with. But that wasn't what was on his mind. Liam's presence had somehow brought a certain light to him. The burden seemed to be lesser now and he knew what he had to do. "Juliet!" He called out loudly. "Can I see you please?" Juliet walked in to the office and stood right opposite his desk without saying a word. Her eyes searched the floor like she had misplaced something, but the truth was that she was very hurt about everything that was happening. "I hope you feel better now. Anyways, I need you to call the employee you had a fight with. What's her name, again?" He paused, waiting for Juliet to at least answer."Hai... Hailey." She stuttered with a mumbled time."Yes, Hailey. Go down and fetch her. I need to speak to the both of you." Juliet nodded and turned away at once. Robert felt sorry for her, seeing how everything was affecting her. "She is really a nice gir
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 118: Cleared Air
All the employees were all gathered in the conference room, curious and waiting for what was about to unfold. At first, there was murmuring in the room, but when Juliet switched on the TV, the room went in to total and deafening silence."A warm afternoon to you all in the United States and beyond. I am Robert William of the prestigious William family. ""Oh, it's the boss." One of the employees pointed at the TV and for the first few seconds, whispers filled the air. "And I am proud to announce to you that I am the sole heir to all the businesses under Jude William, who happens to be my grandfather. Some time ago, the responsibility of the businesses were landed on my shoulders. And as we speak, I am in charge of every thing. Well now, to the reason of this. About a week ago, the bad news of Mr Mendev's passing hit the media and I for one, was surprised to arrive at my office to see a crowd of reporters waiting for me. Apparently, a rumour had it that my grandfather and I were someh
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 119: Look Who's Back
Robert rolled his tired eyes, wondering if he would ever get a break. He got out of the car and walked towards her. Her hair seemed to have grown longer than the last time he had seen her. Beautiful, black and long. He sighed and shook his head softly."It seems you're here to beg again, or am I mistaken?""Oh, please Robert. Do I look stupid to you?" She had a black, fitting gown on, with medium heels. Any one could tell that she was indeed a stunning woman."You just said please. That is begging in my book. But I guess you came to die. Being run over by a car isn't the best way to go, in my opinion.""I see that you've got guts now." She scoffed mockingly, her eyes scanning his entire being, from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet. "It feels nice, right? Just don't let it take over you.""You're not in the position to tell me that, Sophia. By the way, what do you want? It's too hot of an afternoon for all this.... For all this drama.""Why do you care? Huh? After everythi
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 120: My Friend
"Hey bro, I'm on my way right now." Robert said quickly, as soon as the receiver's line beeped."Where have you been, man? Thought you went home to prepare.""Yeah, I know. I just... I'm sorry, okay? I'm almost there." With that, he set his phone aside and focused on the road. In less than ten minutes, he was at the spot. A red car was parked at an open space, and Liam stood there, resting against the car. Robert flashed a goofy smile at him as he pulled over. "What's up, man?" He got out of the car and walked towards his friend, stretching out his hand for a handshake. Liam looked at him blankly without saying a word, his eyes lazy and almost drowsy."Come on, man. Don't be annoyed. I was just so tired I slept off. I didn't even hear the alarm clock ring.""It's okay, man. I'm not angry." Liam paused and laughed loudly. "Are you okay, though? Your eyes.... They look kind of red, tired too.""Well man, you wouldn't believe what happened." Robert started."What happened? Everything's o
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 121: If Creative Was A Person
"We're here, mister. Get ready to relax." Liam smiled, then paused as he realized something. "Not like you should get ready because that might be stressful.... Ahhh! You know what I mean. Just relax." Robert nodded without saying a word. His face was all smiles as he looked around. The place was enormous."What's happening here, man? You still haven't said anything to me." Robert said slowly, then his eyes caught what seemed to be a stage straight ahead. "Wait!" He chuckled, turning to Liam, then back at the stage. "Is it a play?" His voice gave off every bit of excitement as he spoke, his eyes sparkling with happiness."Mmhmm.." Liam replied and nodded, without parting his lips at all."Oh my! It's been so long, Liam. How did you know?" Liam smiled, raising his shoulder up a bit. He was glad to see the reaction on his friends face. He knew Robert liked plays because that was what they some of their time doing in high school, just because Robert liked them. "Let's go get our seat, al
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 122: Bustling Emotions
"Umm.. hi Juliet. I've been trying to reach you for a while now but you're not picking up. I hope you're fine." Juliet paused the message from her voice mail and sighed deeply."Are you okay, Juliet? I would have come over but I don't know if you'll be okay with that. I hope you're fine. Call me when you get this." Another voice message ended. For the past few days, Juliet had been in her shell, one of solitude and depression and she hadn't been taking Erick's call. She curled up in to a life sized ball on her sofa, holding her legs so close to her stomach.Her life seemed really bumpy at this point, with all the rollercoaster of incidents happening at the office. She sighed and sat up, contemplating if calling Erick was a the best option as she hit the call button."Oh my word! Juliet, is that you? Are you okay?" Erick asked anxiously, fear dancing seductively on the tip of his tongue. "I'm here. I'm just here." She replied almost lifeless, resting her back on to the sofa that her h
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 123: Life Comes At You
He was there, alive but immobile. Her lips against his had the feel of a thousand roses, gentle and lovely. But then, it hit him. She wasn't doing this out of love, as much as he knew. He immediately drew back, a confused and aroused look in his eyes."What are you doing?" He said softly. Her desperate eyes pierced his, filled with longing and pain. She swallowed hard."I'm... I'm sorry, Erick." She stammered, immediately looking away in embarrassment. "I didn't mean to...""No, Juliet. No." He interrupted, getting a bit closer to her. She moved back, looking scared and embarrassed. "I won't hurt you, Juliet. I will never hurt you." He paused and moved closer to her again. This time she didn't move back. She looked at him, tears streaming down her face. "Oh, no, no, Juliet. Please don't cry." He caressed her cheeks and wiped the tears from them."I just... I'm so sorry." She cried, relaxing in his arms once more."There's nothing to be sorry about, dear. I'm here for you." He fondled

Chapter 199: The Final Verdict
"Now listen to me, you creep. You are just bluffing and..." The call ended before he could say anything else. He grunted in anger and walked back to where he was before. Raymond had alerted the police officers inside, and a chase had began to get Olivia. Robert walked back to them, breathing heavily."The police are after her." He tried to catch his breath."I know, sir. Let's meet with the detectives at once. I got everything she said on tape.""Yes!" Roberts eyes lit up. "Let's go, then." The two men rushed in back in to the building. Fransisco followed slowly behind them, but when he saw that they were really ahead of him, and wouldn't notice if he wasn't with them, he moved back. He looked from side to side as he rushed out of the premises. Meanwhile, many policemen ran out of the building like a colony of ants, each person dispersing themselves into different cars. Soon, the cars were out of sight. Robert walked out of the building with Raymond beside him. "It's a good thing you
Chapter 198: Tough Break
The detective squinted as he looked at his colleague. He turned back to Robert with a stern face before speaking."That is a serious accusation, sir. Are you sure about what you are saying?""Sure? Not exactly. But I really suspect that they might have had something to do with this. About Michael, I do not know how involved he might be. But Sophia? She even went to Juliet's house once to talk bad about me.""And how do you know that?""I saw her leave the house. I tried to ask her why she had come but she ignored me, and left hurriedly. Also, Juliet told me about it when I went in.""Hmm..." He sighed softly as he wrote something in his notebook. "And why would this Sophia want to talk bad about you to your girlfriend?""Sophia and I used to be married. But we got a divorce right before I met my grandfather. After that, she tried had to get back in to my life, but I refused. I think that made her very angry because she said questionable things after, things I didn't take serious.""Sh
Chapter 197: One Step Close
"He will be down here in a bit. We should wait in the car, so we can leave immediately he gets here." Raymond announced as he walked down the stairs. Robert immediately opened the door and walked out on hearing that. "Umm... Ryan." He called as he walked towards the car. "Some people will be here later today to do some fixing in here, let them in. They will show you their ID cards first.""Yes, sir." Ryan nodded. He left as soon as Robert waved him off."Sir..." Raymond called hesitantly. "Please, I need to speak with you.""What is this about, Raymond? You know this isn't the time for conversations that are not...""It is very important, sir.""Alright." He sighed and got in to the car. Raymond walked to the other side and got in as well. "What is it?""It's about Fransisco." He paused and swallowed hard. "I... I heard him in his room." Robert squinted with concentration. He didn't trust Fransisco one bit and with the way Raymond was speaking, he was ready to hear the worst."What
Chapter 196: Re-emerged Case
Robert didn't sleep the whole night. His eyes were open, fixed to the ceiling and filled with tears in his grandfather's room. It felt like the night would never end, like the torture and pain he was feeling would never end as well. Raymond knocked on the door several times to find out if he was alright, but he asked him to leave every single time. Just as his eyes were beginning to flutter with drowsiness, a bright light pierced through the window. He got off the couch immediately and headed to his room. There, he had a quick change of clothes before heading down to meet Raymond, and of course, Fransisco."Good morning, sir." Raymond said as soon as he saw him walking down the stairs. There was a smile on his face. One that Robert could not fathom at first. "Are you okay?""I'm fine." He said sharply with very steady eyes. He didn't seem like someone who had sobbed all night, maybe because he was very good at hiding his feelings. "We need to go to the station now.""But you've not h
Chapter 195: Blood And Water
"Gone? Gone?" She asked, totally calm. She was dazed for a moment. She stood still with tears running down her cheeks. "What is gone? What does that even mean?" She managed to murmer."I don't even know what happened. I met the policemen on my way to the house, and I saw her. I saw her right there being placed on the stretcher. And she wasn't moving."She shot an angry eye at him as he tried to explain what he had seen. He stopped immediately and looked down. It was clear that all he was saying didn't matter to her at this point. She didn't want to hear anything."What did you do to my sister, Robert? What did you do to her?" She yelled."No, no. What are saying? I do not know what exactly happened to her. But I will make sure they pay dearly for it.""You, liar. What did she ever do to you? She didn't deserve this. She didn't!" Mary yelled, crying bitterly. She didn't mind the staring eyes that looked in her direction. She just wanted to know why this had to happen to her sister. "
Chapter 194: Disbelief And Pain
"Police station? What for?" She asked with wide eyes. He couldn't see her but he could already tell the expression on her face. And that was because she sounded just as confused as she looked. "What does that have to do with my sister, Robert? Where is my sister?""I'm really sorry, Mary." He said with a shaky voice. He could no longer contain the hurt he felt. "They don't really know what happened to her, but....""But what?" She interrupted sharply with tears dancing freely in her eyes, waiting gor the perfect opportunity to pour out. She heard what he was saying, but she did not understand. She did not want to understand if it was really what she was thinking. "What are you talking about, Robert? Where the hell is my sister?""Just meet me at the station now." He ended the call immediately. He couldn't mutter the courage to tell her that Juliet was found dead just minutes ago. He took a deep, shaky breath and nodded at the police officer. "I'll be at the station."Immediately after
Chapter 193: Bloody Dusk
As he drove closer, he could see bright lights in a distance. He squinted hard to see exactly where the lights were coming from, but he couldn't see clearly. He sped up and was surprised to see police vehicles littered all over the place. He parked his car close by and looked on. He could see some officers placing barricade tapes around that particular area. Thoughts started to fly once more in his mind, and for a moment, his throat tightened. "No, no. Don't overthink anything, Robert." He said to himself and took a deep breath. He got out of the car, and walked quickly towards the area. As he got closer, he thought he recognised the car that was parked on the side of the road. He shook his head in disbelief and got even nearer to the scene. But before he could go past the barricade tapes, he was stopped by one of the officers."You can't come here, sir." The officer said roughly, his hand against Robert's chest in a light manner."What is going on here?" He asked in confusion, stari
Chapter 192: Quick Search
About two hours after Juliet left the office, Robert decided to do same. Juliet suddenly came to his mind. "Isn't she home yet?" He said under his breath. "Why hasn't she called yet?" He picked up his phone from the table and called her immediately. The first time, there was no response. He called again, and still, there was no response. "Well, I guess she's busy. I'll just call when I get home." He stood up and arranged all the documents, piling each on top of the other. He tucked everything under his arm and headed to the car."Good evening sir." The security guard hailed from his duty post."Yes, good evening." He answered before placing the documents in the back seat of the car. He closed the car door and walked closer to the young man. "Umm... Tomorrow, some men will be here to do a few checks and fixings in the building. Do let them in, alright?""Yes sir.""Alright then. Have a good night." He nodded and walked to the car. In no time, he sped off. As he drove down the street t
Chapter 191: Dead And Gone
It was 5pm now. The once blue sky was slowly getting darker. Little golden strips beatified the now grey like clouds. Juliet had a pile of documents in front of her and was working on them with utmost focus. Robert sat right opposite her, doing the same. His eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the glass wall, and then, at Juliet. He stared at her for a moment. He agreed with himself one more time that she was indeed the most beautiful woman he had ever set his eyes on. It felt like time stopped during those few moments, and he was lost in the beauty he was beholding."What are you looking at, Mister?" She asked in a serious tone. Her eyes, pinned on the papers in front of her. Robert shook his head with a soft smile, and peered down at his watch."You should get going, honey. It's past five.""Oh!" She exclaimed calmly and placed the pen in her hand on the table. She looked up and met his eyes. "You really want me to go?""If there was an alternative at this point, then I would
