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
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 151: An Astounding Surprise
Juliet looked at him, confused at first. She looked down at the papers in front of her, without giving him a reply. Robert waited for a moment, wondering what was going through her mind. "Are you angry at me, Juliet?" Robert said, feeling slightly guilty for having a relationship with Olivia. "If it's about Olivia, then...""It's not angry at you, sir." She replied sharply, an edge of rudeness in her voice. "These papers came in just moments ago and I'm afraid that somebody is trying to sell off one of your companies.""What do you mean?" Robert's brows rose, his initial purpose of talking to Juliet disappeared. "No one can sell my company without my approval. Or whatever." He picked one of the papers immediately."I think the person has already sold it. Apparently, he lied about the company's ownership and provided fake documents to the buyers. Because that is the only way he or she could have pulled this off.""What company is that? And who sent this?" "The textile company. The ma
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 152: The Unexpected
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Jin asked in confusion, rising from his seat."My name is Robert William. And I am the owner of that company.""What I know is that you used to be the owner of the company. Didn't you sell it to Mr Lotta?" "Who is Lotta?" Robert asked immediately, almost unable to believe his ears. He didn't know any Lotta and he had never done business with him."Frederick Lotta." Jin said at once. Robert's eyes squinted as he heard the name, Frederick. "May I know who this Mr Frederick is? And where he lives. You might want to come with me to meet him. The cops are downstairs." "To meet him? Why? I have no more business with him. And I have the documents to the factory. I do not want cops on my vicinity either." Jin said defensively, collapsing in his seat once more."And I can assure you that the documents are fake. Only I, have the documents to that factory. Me Lotta scammed you. And the cops aren't posing any harm. So you don't have to worry about anything.
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 153: Long Awaited Moment
It was almost time to go home. She had arranged her desk for the next day's work already. Just sitting with one of her legs crossed over the other, she breathed in deeply. The relieving feeling it gave her brought Robert to mind."Why did he want to have lunch all of a sudden?" She asked herself, but was unable to provide her question with an accurate answer. For all she knew, Robert was in love with Olivia and was in a relationship with her. She sighed once more, a part of her hoping that Robert would be hers, even she knew it couldn't be forced. She leaned towards her desk and peered down at her phone screen. "Finally!" She exclaimed in a whisper, and got to her feet. She took her phone and bag, and made for the elevator. Just as she reached to press the elevator button, it dinged. She gasped and took a few steps back, her heart thumping at the thought of meeting Robert face to face."Hi." Robert said with a smile as he walked out of the elevator and towards her. It all seemed so cl
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 154: Love And Anger
The atmosphere was awkward and tense for few minutes after Hailey left."She'll think what she said before is true, Robert. This isn't good." Juliet panicked, moving to and fro."That what?" Robert inquired."That we are having an affair. She's going to...""And why does that matter?" Robert interrupted, getting a hold of her hand before she could move again. Juliet looked at him, lost in the glitter of his eyes. "That wouldn't be a problem because you are not my secretary anymore. And if she tries to push it, then I will personally have her fired.""I haven't even accepted your offer yet, and you're already saying that I am no longer your secretary." She smiled suddenly, filling Robert with gladness."Oh please, accept my offer." He said in a funny tone."Alright, alright. But you won't fire her, okay?""If she behaves herself, that is.""She will. I'll just speak to her later." She took a deep breath, staring right in to his eyes. She got closer to him and put her arms lightly over
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 155: An Issue With The Police
"So, what is going on with the investigation, officer?" He asked in a calm and focused tone. He was in the police chief's office once more. The place was still very much the same as when Robert came with his grandfather some time ago."You mean Mr Mendev?" Officer McDave sighed, his eyes pinned to the table as he took a pen in his hand. From the way he acted, Robert suspected that the investigation had gone cold."Yes. Him. I haven't heard anything about it since the interview. Not even on the news.""Well sir, it has not been easy. In all my years of service in the police force, I've never had a case this difficult. At the scene of the crime, there wasn't a single foreign fingerprint that could hint at somebody. The murder weapon was nowhere to be found as well, even when we know what kind of gun was used. It is just really frustrating. And the most annoying this of all is that Mr Mendev's body is missing." He sighed."Are you serious right now? How is that even possible? Do you know
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 156: Another Case
Robert was surprised to see Olivia. And so was the police chief, because he hadn't yet ordered for her release. He was even more surprised as to how she got in to the office in such manner without being held back. Robert immediately got to his feet and faced her."It was all a mix up, Olivia. I apologize for the inconvenience. I was planning to...""Oh! Don't tell me of any silly plans. I don't want to hear it." She began walking towards Robert slowly. "You had the guts to do this to me. And you think you would just wave me off? You are unbelievable, Robert. You..." Just then, three police men rushed in and held her hands behind her."Who told you that you could come in here?" One of the officers asked in frustration."Let me go! Let me go!" She yelled, wiggling her body, trying to set free from them. But there was no way she could outpower three cops. "Let go of me.""I'm really sorry for the disturbance, sir. She asked to use the restroom, but came here instead." One of the officers

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
