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
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 157: Decline
"What do you mean by he was not breathing anymore?" He asked, trying hard to stay composed. "My grandfather is not dead. He is not dead!""Yes sir." Raymond said in a very collected manner, turning both Robert and Martha's attention to himself. "Sir Jude isn't dead. The doctors are treating him right now and he will be fine.""Yes. Yes. He is fine." Robert took a deep breath, as he looked around for a seat. Just then, the sound of his ringing phone interrupted him. He drew it out immediately and wasn't surprised to see that it was Juliet calling. "Hi there." He said quickly, trying to hide the worry in his voice."Hi babe. I've been expecting you for a while now. Aren't you coming anymore? Are you okay?""I'm fine. It's nothing.""Robert." She said slowly, wondering what was going on with him. The jolly spark his voice usually came with wasn't there. She knew something was wrong. "What do you mean it's nothing? You don't sound fine. Robert, talk to me.""It's..." He paused and sighed.
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 158: Puppets
She paced from one side of the room to the other, murmuring inaudible words. No one could exactly tell what she was saying but they could tell how angry she was."Calm down, girl. Why are you stressing yourself over him? Don't worry.""It's just so annoying what he did to me. I can't get past it. It honestly makes me so mad when I remember it but I can't stop thinking about it.""Can you hear her, sweetheart?" Sophia laughed, placing her legs over Michael's thigh. Michael laughed in response and shook his head, without saying anything. He was trying to get his eyes off Olivia. He couldn't get past how attractive she was, but he was careful enough to stare without being noticed by his girlfriend, or the one whose being was drawing him in. "Just forget about him for now. Come here. Have something to eat.""Oh, that reminds me. My cook was supposed to bring my meal home yesterday. I wonder if she kept it in the fridge." Olivia said out of the blue."Then, call her and speak to her. Don't
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 159: The Switch
"He is stable now." The nurse finally said. There was a texture in his voice that left Robert in so much doubt. Even though, Robert wanted to breath in since he felt relieved, he didn't know how long the feeling would last."Then, I can go see him, right? We can take him home today, right?""No." He said coldly, lowering his head a bit. "Mr Jude is in a stable condition now, but we don't know how long he will be, unfortunately.""What do you mean by that?" Robert asked at once, his eyes widening with curiosity. Juliet walked closer to him and placed her hand on his back. She could feel his breaths from his back because he was breathing heavily."I can't answer any more of your questions. The doctor will tell you more instead. But for now, your grandfather wants to see you. Excuse me." With that, he walked away.Immediately, Robert rushed in to the emergency unit and was shocked to find his grandfather in such a bad state. There were tubes fixed on to different parts of his body. He wa
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 160: Power Of The Tongue
The doctor took out the all the tubes of machines connected to his body, one after the other. Robert sat in a corner watching. Juliet had gone to get him something to drink so he was all alone now. He had ordered both Raymond and Martha to go home, after Martha had talked to the doctor about Jude."It seems like he's okay now. He doesn't need the machines anymore. And there isn't any wrong with him as it stands." The doctor confirmed and shook hands with Robert. "He will be awake soon. Just wait, alright? Take it easy." Robert nodded and forced a smile as the doctor left the room. He didn't say anything else. He walked to the bed and sat beside Jude."You aren't going to leave me now, will you?" I still want you with me, you know. I haven't even known you for a long time."Juliet stood by the door, watching her boyfriend talk to a sleeping man. She could feel her heart melt with pity and worry for him as he talked slowly. It was evident that he was trying his best to hold back the hur

"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
