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
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 145: Hard Position
"You look really beautiful, Juliet." He said from across the table. "As always." He added, flashing a set of perfect, white dentition."Thank you." She replied, blushing hard. "So what would you like to have? I'll get the waiter.""Maybe a salad? I don't know because I don't really feel hungry.""You are not hungry? Why? Did you eat already?""No." She replied, her eyes moving from Erick's face to the table. "It's just lack of appetite.""But you have to eat something. I can't let you go home without taking anything." His voice was immersed in worry as he watched her closely. In his eyes, she appeared to be stressed, but she was still the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. "They serve really good stake here. I'm sure you'd like it.""Okay. Maybe a piece of stake and some salad will do." She smiled. Erick nodded at once and called for the waiter. He made their orders and the waiter left after that. "So how have you been? How's your mom?""My mom is okay. She was surprised to see t
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 146: Much Needed Relief
"Babe, come on!" She started, her voice ringing in a very high pitch. "Why are you being like this? It's just a few thousand dollars.""Fifty thousand is not a few thousand dollars, Olivia. You haven't even told me what it's for." He sighed, turning a bit away from her. ""Now, it's Olivia? Not babe, right? Just because of some money? Babe, come on.""Look, I can't just spend that kind of amount without it being accounted for. If it was less than that, maybe five thousand, then I would have considered it.""But you're a fucking billionaire, Robert. Fifty thousand dollars won't hurt your pocket.""But if I keep going that way, I'd be wretched in just a few years. I'm supposed to maintain this status for my generation unborn. Please understand me, babe." He finally faced her, their knees touching slightly. He held her hands, his eyes piercing in to hers."Robert, do you even love me?""Why would you ask that? I do." His eyes met the floor, unable to look at her because he wasn't sure of
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 147: Flowers and Thorns
Juliet sat there, unable to say a word. Her eyes, wide open as she heard his words. She didn't know what exactly to say, even if she knew what her decision regarding his request was. Erick was confused and nervous at the same time. As he looked at her, he kept wondering what was going through her mind. He didn't want to be turned down, but neither did he want to force her. After a moment of deafening silence between them, which got interrupted by a sudden melodious play of instruments at the other side of the room, Juliet shook her head repeatedly, in a desperate manner. She turned to see where the music was coming from, a bit afraid that it was Erick's doing. But to her relief, it was another couple few tables from where they were. A young man was on one knee, with a little red box in his hand. While his happy bride to be stood in front of him, with her hands over her mouth.Juliet felt a certain kind of pressure surge through her as she saw them. Looking back at Erick felt like a h
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 148: Another Alliance
Olivia pushed open the door to her apartment. Her lips pouted, with an angry and frustrated look plastered on her face. She grunted softly as she closed the door."That coward." She said angrily, throwing her back against the couch. "So annoying!" She collapsed in to the couch, her hand placed against her forehead in deep thoughts. She leaned forward, one leg over the other as she took her heels off. "What was a few thousand dollars that he couldn't spare? I just wanted to get a new car. And maybe, do some shopping. And he let me go just like that." She threw the shoes on the floor and walked to her kitchen. "That jerk never loved me. What the...! Cecilia didn't even bring the food." She walked back to the sitting room, clearly annoyed."Cecilia!" She said as soon as she answered the call. "Why didn't you bring the meals I asked you to prepare? Wasn't the cash enough?""Oh, no, ma'am. I'm sorry. My son suddenly got sick so I had to get him to the hospital. That is why I couldn't deliv
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 149: A Closed Chapter
"Thank you." Juliet said calmly, her eyes to the floor, trying to avoid Erick's penetrating gaze. "It's nothing." Erick managed to smile, even if he had a lot of questions bothering his mind. Questions he knew only her could answer. "I hope you feel okay. You didn't even eat your food." He chuckled shortly, taking out a white handkerchief which he quickly wiped across his eyes. Juliet giggled too, her face still facing the floor. She couldn't bare to look at his face directly, after all that had happened barely an hour ago."And that guy. What are you going to do about him if he comes back?""I doubt he will. But if he does, I know where the station is. I will file a restraining order against him.""Okay. That's great." He nodded softly and took a short breath. "Well, I need to go now. Take care of yourself, okay?" He smiled and opened the door to his car to get in."Wait!" Juliet said before she could stop herself. "I'm really sorry, Erick. I understand if you're angry at me, and...
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 150: Misunderstood
The morning's dawn came quicker than expected. The yellow sun was positioned perfectly in the sky, and was shining straight into Juliet's bedroom. She stirred in bed softly as the almost blinding light shone on her face. Her eyes fluttered open reluctantly, and she was immediately conscious of her environment. Her eyes met the hands of the clock just on the cabinet and she sprang out of bed at once."Oh my God! I'm going to be late." She tied her hair in to a messy bun and walked to her wardrobe. She took out some clothes and threw them on the bed."What's happening?" Mary said softly and sleepily. She sat up and stretched a bit. "Good morning.""Good morning." Juliet replied with looking at her. Then, she went in to the bathroom. Mary sighed, feeling put off by her behavior. After a few minutes, Juliet walked out of the bathroom, a towel tied lightly across her chest."Are you okay?" Mary asked immediately, her voice was filled with concern. Juliet glanced at her without saying a wor

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
