The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 165: Angry Mary
Mary had a blank expression on her face. But somehow, her sister could tell that she was filled with disgust and possibly, anger. She had heard the vehicle halt in front of the house, and all her hopes was that it was Erick. For some reason, Mary felt that Erick was the perfect match for her sister, turning a blind eye to the fact that her sister wasn't romantically attracted to him. The fact that she already had an in-depth hatred for Robert added to her reasons for thinking her sister was better off without him. She had been watching them from the window, and when if seemed like they were taking forever she came outside."Babe, you were saying something." She tried to continue their initial conversation."Why does your sister stare at me like that?" Robert asked slowly, without taking his eyes off Mary."Oh, forget about her. She's just weird with people she doesn't know. It isn't anything serious." Juliet replied calmly, as she placed her palm gently against his cheek. But she coul
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 166: Piercing Pain
"When is he coming, dear? Have you called him yet?" Roseline asked hurriedly, standing close to her daughter's bed. "You can't keep crying, my love? Cheer up, okay?""But, mom..." She tried to speak, but her words were swallowed by her sobs. It's almost 8pm. I don't think he will come here.""How wonderful!" Her mother sighed, her face squeezed as she thought about what to do. To her, her kids were the absolute best and she would give the world just to make sure that they weren't hurt. Seeing Treasure cry broke her in many ways she didn't expect. There and then, she began to wonder what could be done to fix the situation. A solution that wouldn't counter the plans they had for Robert. "Why don't you just...""Don't tell me to stop crying, mother. Do you know how bad this hurts?" Treasure said between tears, without waiting for her mother to finish her sentence."That isn't what I was about to say, my dear." She replied calmly, without taking offence at what she had just said. She sat
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 167: Sister's Squabble
"Babe, please wait." Juliet walked behind him, calling as he walked to his car. "Babe! Please.." She yelled. Robert stopped right in front of his car but did not turn to face her. "I'm sorry, babe. Please, do not mind my sister. She's.... She's just...""She's just what, Juliet? What was all that in there? Who the hell is Erick?""Please, don't listen to her. I don't know what's gotten in to her. I thought she'd treat you better than the last time because she knows you now. I'm really sorry." Juliet explained immediately. She gog closer to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. "I'm really sorry, babe.""Okay." He said calmly. "And Erick? Who's he? Your ex?""Erick and I weren't even a thing, babe. I met him on a bus one day when I was going home from work and we became friends. That's all. We never dated or anything. Just don't listen to Mary, okay? I'll talk to her.""There's no need to talk to her, babe." He said placidly. He turned to face her and felt bad when he saw the look o
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 168: The Oath
Robert pulled up in front of the hospital for the second time in the same day. With his hand still on the steering wheel, he took and deep breath. Just to his side, was Liam's car. He took another breath and got out of the car. His eyes circled the area as he walked closer and closer to the building. The night was quiet and quite chilling. He walked in to the building and waved shortly at the nurse at the counter. As he headed for Jude's ward, he couldn't help but think about Francisco, or John, as he had introduced himself. The night sparkle in his eyes kept reoccurring to him as he walked through the white walls of the hospital. He got to the door of Jude's ward in no time, and pushed the door slightly. He could see that the room was full and filled with laughter as well. He stepped in gently, hoping that he wouldn't be noticed but immediately, everyone stopped laughing."Robert, you are finally back." Jude was the first to speak. He had a brilliant spark in his eyes and it made Ro
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 169: Based On Lies
Treasure rushed downstairs without saying a single word to her mom or sister. Her eyes had already told them all they needed to know and they listened. They immediately followed her downstairs. Richard had already ushered him in to the house. And now, he sat on one of the couches, waiting for her."Mark!" She gasped his name when she caught glimpse of him. With one of her hands over her mouth, trying to muffle her little cries, her eyes welled with tears one more. Mark swallowed hard as he got to his feet. Seeing her cry was something he never liked, but this time she had brought it upon herself."Mr Mark." Roseline called out from behind her daughter. She walked past Treasure and went to meet him. "It's a pleasure seeing you. Good evening. How are you doing?""I'm fine, Ma'am." He managed to smile, but his eyes didn't move away from Treasure. "I was just talking to Sir Richard.""Oh! What about?" She smiled as she took a seat beside her husband. "Please sit.""Nothing much." He sighe
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 170: A Different Turn
Early that morning, Robert and Jude left the hospital. Raymond had left the hospital earlier, so as to assist Martha in preparing his room. While Liam and John had left the night before. Although, John had promised to come back, Liam didn't. Liam had left immediately after their fight, without saying goodbye to Jude. So when Jude asked Robert where his fried was, he had to lie."Welcome, sir." Raymond smiled as he ushered them in to the house. "It sure is good to have you back home, again.""It feels good to be here." Jude chuckled, but it sure would be better to be where..."Woah, woah, woah! I don't want to hear any more talks about death. You are not going to die. Not yet, at least.""Well, not yet. But if could be tonight or...""Okay, okay. Please take him to his room, Raymond. And ask marthe to meet me in my office." Robert assisted in getting Jude's wheelchair up the stairs, and after that, he headed to his office. Soon, he heard a knock on the door. Sure that it was Martha, he
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 171: Almost Perfect
It had been three weeks since Jude got back from the hospital. He was doing absolutely well and having a great friendship with Martha. They talked and laughed almost all day. And this was something Robert liked to see. His death talks were all jokes after all, Robert would always think anytime he saw them. Everything at work was going great as well. All the companies under his name were doing well. And he had began new projects with promising minds. His relationship with Juliet was one of the things that made him happy. Jude loved her and she was extremely supportive. Her sister, Mary no longer acted the way she used to with him. And what was more surprising was that she apologised for her behaviour the other night he visited. He was sure she still didn't like him, but was trying to accommodate him for her sister.Juliet and him had gone on a couple of vacations and date. And they both could never been happier. As a matter of fact, Juliet had bought the estate they talked about. He wa
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 172: Reconciled
Juliet paced up and down the house, wondering how Sophia had know her address and name. She picked up her phone at once and called him, but Robert wasn't answering. She called again and again, he did not answer. She threw the phone to the side and decided that she would wait till he got back.Meanwhile, Robert was outside her gate. Hew had just arrived in his car when he saw someone he thought he recognised, leaving Juliet's house. He got out of the car immediately, and began walking towards her."What do you want here, Sophia?" He asked angrily. Without saying a word, she quickly got in to her waiting car, and zoomed off immediately. He got back in his car and drove in to the estate. "Juliet!" He rushed to the door, hoping that everything was fine with her. He of all people knew that nothing would could good could come out of Sophia's visit. He knocked on the door in hurriedly, again and again. Juliet who was already going to open the door began to wonder who it was. "Juliet, how ar

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
