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
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 173: In The Dark
Robert sighed as he got in to the house. His suit was hung over his arm. The house was extremely quiet and there were no signs of the maids, or even Raymond. For some reason, he was feeling very heavy minded, so he decided to visit Jude before he went to bed. He went straight to his room and laid down for a bit. After about twenty minutes, he headed down to Jude's room. He knocked on the door lightly but got no response. He pushed the door slightly open and looked in to the room. Martha wasn't there. She should be in her room now, he thought. He did find it a bit weird because it was barely 8pm. And the both of them were so fond of each other that they'd talk for very long hours. He pushed all the thoughts from his head and focused on what he came to do. He walked carefully, making sure that he was as sleek and noiseless as possible. The lamp by his bed was dimly lit, and it shone over his face radiantly. He smiled as he looked down at his face. Wrinkled yet perfectly peaceful. The c

"It did not work, Olivia. The stupid bitch didn't even listen to me. You had to see the way she was laughing at me. She didn't even let me speak and she sent me off." She clinged her fists as she spoke, visibly angry by the turn out of events."Robert must have talked to her. I know it. I don't know how he...""Yes. I'm sure the fool has spoken to her. He saw me when I was leaving and began asking me silly questions. Arghhh! I was so angry, I felt like ripping him apart. He should be thankful that I held back." Olivia looked at her with many thoughts running in her mind at once. Her eyes looked distracted as the stared closer at the table, as though her sight could spilt it open."So what are we going to do? Seems like the bastard is great at handling anything thrown at him. You know, I feel glad that I wasn't implicated for what Frederick did. But on the other hand, I wish I knew about it. I wish I was in on it. By now, Robert would have lost thousands of dollars." She looked at Soph
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 175: Chilling Thoughts
Robert smiled as he looked at the photo over and over again. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, asides his girlfriend of course. He got up from his office seat and took his briefcase to go home. As he walked out of his office to the elevator, he looked at Juliet's old work station and smiled. She was no longer his secretary. Somehow, it was unbelievable that a woman like her, who was from a rich family would leave everything back at her hometown to be a worker in his company. He shook his head softly and walked in to the elevator.He had to go home and show Jude the ring he had finally chosen. The one he was going to give to Juliet.Going home on this day was like every other day. He didn't take his bodyguards because he didn't like the fact that they were going everywhere with him. And good for him, he didn't have the need for them anymore. There was nobody disturbing his peace for anything whatsoever. He drove through the estate gate and felt the warm, homely breeze b
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 176: Sad Reality
"Hello sir." Raymond said desperately as the car drove out of the estate. "Sir Jude is coming back in. Please, keep the nurses on standby with the stretcher." Raymond had a disorganized look on his face as his eyes met Jude's smiling face. "I don't know what happened. He isn't responding to us, to any of our voices. That's the only thing I know.""Grandfather, are you there? Answer me." Robert was saying, with Jude's head on his lap. He kept calling Jude's name over and over but that didn't seem to be working."We are on our way now." Raymond concluded and set down the phone. "They are getting everything ready now, sir."Robert nodded, without looking up. His eyes were pinned on Jude. Martha sat in the front seat of the car, sobbing silently as they went. She was distraught, and kept hoping that Jude was okay."What is wrong with you? Drive faster." Robert shouted at the driver, who was already going as fast as he could. The journey was a long, scary one even if it did not last fiftee
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 177: Grief
The doctor seemed too touched to say it again, for the people who were receiving the news were literally broken by the news. He just shook his head slowly and sighed. Martha was already weeping very badly. Her eyes were gradually getting swollen. While Raymond could not believe his ears, so he refused letting the doctor go."I don't understand, sir. What do you mean by that? Please tell me it isn't what I'm thinking.""I'm really sorry, sir. But Sir Jude was dead when he arrived. It was hard to break it to you, but I had to. Please, excuse me." With that, he walked away. All the personnel who were in the ward with him began walking out, all their heads down to the floor as they passed. Tears formed in Raymond's eyes as he saw them walk by. A part of him was formerly hoping that it was not true, but now he knew that it was. He located a seat and sat in it as he took a deep breath. He raised his face up and saw Robert who was sitting on an opposite seat.Robert's face was as hard as sto

"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

"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
