The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 137: A Wrong Decision
He immediately looked away, his eyes on his date who was seating just across him. He flashed a clean smile at her, pretending that he hadn't seen Sophia. She and Michael were just about leaving the restaurant. "Baby, look who's here." Sophia stopped, a little past Robert's table. She smiled at Robert as Michael stretched his hand for a handshake. Robert hesitated, looking at Michael's hand closely and then back to Michael and Sophia's smiling face. "I see you're with somebody. Your girlfriend?"Robert shook Michael's hand carefully, a disgusting look on his face. Olivia watched him, unable to tell what was happening. But, one thing she could tell was that Robert wasn't comfortable with whoever these people were. She almost said something but she held herself back just in time."Like you said, I am with somebody. Do you have to ask all that?" He sighed, taking a pause in order to stop himself from saying something that may trigger Sophia and sabotage his date with Olivia. He suddenly
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 138: Liam's Plan
At the end of he date, Robert drove Olivia home in his car. The night had already gone really far at the time. While in the car they both stole some really steamy glances from each other, and talked a lot of other things that had not been shared in the date. Sometimes Robert will catch himself in the middle of laughter and wonder to himself if he was really indeed ready for whatever it was he was about getting into. She would catch him in those moments, and he would return her gaze with a smile, wondering if she caught him in those moments at times.They arrived at her vicinity soon enough and Robert stepped down from the car, and then circled it to go open the door for Olivia."What a gentle man" she said, both cheeks on her face red as she blushed hard."Well, atleast I try my best to be a gentleman." He chuckled as he guided her down the vehicle. For some reason she nearly tripped down from the car, but quickly with a dash as quick as light, he caught before she would plunge int
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 139: Bumpy Rides With Emotion
Martha smiled dryly, feeling the little bun her hair was styled in."Umm..." She giggled in a dry tone. "I just wanted to make sure the door was locked." She held her hands together, feeling nervous for some reason. Liam walked to her, a stern look on his face."There is no need for that here. As you can see, there are more than enough guards outside to keep this place safe." He paused and looked at her suspiciously, getting even closer to her. He bent a bit so she could hear him well enough. "Look Martha, I recommended you for this job because I trust you. Don't do anything to make me lose that trust... Because it won't be a pretty sight." His tone was very low, but he was sure she heard him because the fear in her eyes didn't try to hide in anyway."Oh! Don't worry, sir. I will never do anything to lose your trust. I promise to do my job very well." She managed to say, still unable to hide the fear in her. Liam could still see it."Now, that's better." He smiled suddenly, taking fe
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 140: Anger And Confusion
Robert got to the office that morning feeling whole. He had finally laid down the doubts in his heart about dating Olivia, deciding to give it a try. But it was the exact opposite for Juliet. She sat at her desk feeling very dejected and incomplete. Robert had talked to her for a while when he came in, asking how she was doing. And she wore a smile and responded "fine". She knew she wasn't fine, and it made her wonder if she would ever truly be happy. At least, seeing Robert's face had lifted her mood. But unknown to her, the feeling wasn't going to last long.It was almost lunch break. So, Juliet was surprised when she heard the elevator ding."It must be Liam... Again." She rolled her eyes as she said to herself. But to her greatest surprise, a woman walked in. Long red hair that followed behind her, beautiful curves, with baby blue eyes. She had a short black dress on, coupled with a pair of black, glittering heels. Juliet knew she didn't work at the office, but she looked awfully
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 141: The Informant
"I don't know any Olivia ma'am." Nicholas started, feeling slightly confused. "I was just about to call you though. Mr Robert seems to be in a relationship with a strange woman.""Oh! You dummy. Isn't that what I'm saying? Why then did you tell me he was in love with his secretary?""That is because I thought he was. It seemed like he was treating her in a special manner. ""So who is the strange lady you saw him with?""I don't know her. I've never seen her before." He sighed, moving the mop from side to side."But she was beautiful with red hair.""Reh hair?" Sophia whispered as she thought about Olivia. "Then it has to be Olivia. She has red hair, I think.""Well, I don't know. He was talking to her just a while ago. And he did not look happy to me.""Hmm..." She sighed, her eyes squinting. "What is Robert up to?""Right now, I don't...""I wasn't talking to you, idiot." She grunted. "Call me if you see anything else.""But, ma'am Sophia. You haven't...""I haven't what? She cut in
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 142: Whirlwind Romance
The bus stopped right in front of Juliet. For the first time since she moved from her home town, she was wishing she had brought her car along. She stood still, while people got in to the bus quickly. Everything that was happening seemed to be pointing to Erick. And it made her miss him more. She sighed calmly and got in to the bus. She looked at the seat where she had first seen Erick. An old, homely man was setting in it, a warm smile on his face. She looked behind the seat, at the one she had settled the day she met Erick and it was surprisingly empty. She smiled and walked towards it. There, she settled, leaning her whole body weight on it as though it could suck a way all her issues. She took out her phone from her bag and dialled Erick's number."Hey." She said calmly, slightly surprised that he answered immediately. "Good evening.""How are you? You don't look too good.""Oh! How do you know that?" She chuckled, moving her head from side to side, hoping she could find him somew
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 143: Mary's Unexpected Reaction
"Thank you so much for walking me home, Erick." Juliet smiled calmly, her body positioned in front of her door with him standing right opposite her. "Would you like to come in for a quick drink?" "Oh, no, no." He should his head at once in decline."But why?" She asked immediately, clutching her bag in her hands."Have you forgotten about our date? Don't tell me you have already." Erick leaned forward and touched her hair gently. "All you have to do is go in and get ready. I'll be back here to pick you in roughly an hour.""Okay, sir." She smiled widely. "I'll do just that." She turned away childishly, a free and careless air to her movement. As soon as she reached for the door knob, the door gave way immediately."Welcome, sis." Mary said happily, her arms open wide in a hug."Oh! Mary, I almost forgot you were here." She said calmly with a relieved look on her face. Erick was surprised at first. But as they hugged each other, Mary waved at him freely."Is that your boyfriend?" Mary
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 144: Uncertainty
"You know what? Something isn't clear to me." She said, moving from one side of the room to the other with her hand on her chin. "From the way he sounded, I know there's something isn't right.""How are you so sure, Sophia? You didn't even speak to him directly." Michael was on the couch, watching his woman toss from side to side impatiently. "Well, I am. Nicholas said it. He said that Robert doesn't look happy with that Olivia girl. I should have known. I didn't even notice it at the restaurant.""You know what I think? I think you're overthinking this. I mean, I know you want to take down Robert, and so do I. But we don't have to analyze his whole life.""Of course, we do. That way, we will know where to strike." Sophia sounded a bit restless, slightly angry as well. "And we have so much support, so this shouldn't be hard.""You mean that Robert's friend?""Yes. He didn't lie when he said Robert was going to be at that restaurant. Even if it came at such short notice, we were still

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
