The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 44: More pleased
"Hey, relax. I just came to see you." Her voice rang in a friendly manner as she smiled. He kept looking at her, at the dress, then at her, and back to the dress. It looked extremely familiar but he couldn't quite place his finger on exactly where he had seen it. "You like my dress?" She asked with a smile, watching the wondering expression on his face. She could see that the dress did strike something in him, even if he could not figure it out. "Remember that Valentine's Day two years ago? You got me this dress for our date." Finally, he thought. He knew deep down that he knew the dress from somewhere. He stared at her for a moment with a smirk on his face. He was impressed by her effort but he wasn't buying all that."Yes, I remember. It was a nice, simple date. Almost unforgettable because we were still happy. It was one of our last happy moments."Sophia smiled at hearing his words. It finally seemed like he was coming around and to her, that was great progress. Although she was
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 45: Take A Guess
Her eyes were still on Robert, steady and sad till the elevator door shut close. Robert stood there for a moment, resting against the secretary's supposed table as he thought about all that had just happened. Sophia thought that her words would make him change his mind and take her back, which he felt was stupid of her. He sighed gently as he made his way into the elevator as well. He was no longer pressed and so didn't need the restroom anymore. He just wanted to go home and rest his head. The elevator door opened up on the floor where Jude and the employees were. He had a sad look on his face, obviously downcast. He walked back to his seat, settling beside Jude who had noticed the drastic change in his demeanor."What is wrong, my child? You took some time up there. Did anything go wrong?" Jude asked, trying to know what had him in such a mood. He sighed as he relaxed fully on the chair."Her. Sophia. She came again. But she's gone now." He said, shutting his eyes as he faced the c
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 46: The Associate's Meeting
The bed in Robert's room waited patiently and longingly for Robert to return. And as he got to his room, he collapsed carelessly into it, relaxing his whole being and letting go of the stress he felt. He already had a lot on his mind regarding his duties at work and Sophia came to make it worse. Robert sighed as he remembered how anxious he had been when the day began and how great it turned out before her unwanted presence. But he was glad that she left without any struggle, concluding that she had accepted everything he had said to her. Sophia was not one to just leave, so that assured him that she would not be back. He lay in bed, his face to the ceiling as he wondered how the meeting scheduled for the next day would be. With a clouded and tired mind, it didn't take him long to fall into a deep sleep.The next day started beautifully as always. Robert got up feeling suddenly confident that morning. He smiled as he watched the view from his window and prepared for his meeting. He fe
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 47: Sophia's Second Trial
"Oh! Hi there, Robert. How are you doing?" Sophia asked casually. Sitting gallantly close to Robert, one leg on top of the other. Robert's eyes never left her face as she performed whatever she was performing in front of the associates."What are you doing here, Sophia?" He asked again, trying to be as calm as possible. He could see the confusion on each of the associates' faces. They didn't know what was going on. Sophia sat comfortably, her cheeks blushing in the white, bright light. Her outfit ensemble was wonderful. Her grey suit looked perfect on her. She looked like the typical boss lady."Am I late for the meeting? I'm sorry about it. I just got caught up with something so I had to hurry down here. I suppose I am not too late, am I?" She smiled brightly, her dentition flashing neatly as she looked around. Robert was stunned as he watched her. What does she mean by she isn't too late? He thought in his mind. He knew she was not one of the associates but he never thought that she
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 48: Stubborn Sophia
As they led her out, her voice echoed through the hallway, screaming non-stop. Once outside, she was thrown to the ground."Please leave and do not return," Raymond said as she tried to get up. She grunted in frustration as he picked up her broken shoes."Who do you think you are, huh? Do I look like a common butler like you are? Get out!" She screamed as she threw the shoe at him. Raymond decked just in time as he moved back. Seeing that that didn't work, she rushed at him, grabbing his suit by his collar. Immediately, the guards rushed at her, holding her back as she struggled to set free. "Let me go, you overgrown huskies. Let go of me!" One of the guards pushed her away, directly for the road. She looked at them in anger and turned to her car. "I hate you both." She shouted in frustration as she got into the car and slammed the door hard behind her. She sped off almost immediately, a trail of exhaust smoke filling the air.As she drove home, an array of thoughts flooded her mind.
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 49: Reflection
Robert sighed in relief as the meeting came to an end with all the associates leaving. The meeting was successful, extremely successful despite the stunt Sophia pulled there and he was glad about it. He sat back in his seat, thinking about everything for a moment. Just then, Raymond walked in."Are you okay, sir?" He asked in concern, seeing the way he was laid back in his seat. He looked up at Raymond and sighed, then laid back again."I'm just surprised the meeting was an absolute success even with what Sophia did. I woke up this morning feeling very confident about everything, but somehow she almost ruined it all for me." He said calmly."But did she succeed? Now, that's the important thing. She didn't succeed with her plan, whatever it was. And why was it successful? You. You made this all possible, so do not think about it." Raymond said encouragingly as he waited on Robert."Yes. You are right. Right. Let's go. I need to get some rest. It's been a long day." He said as he stood
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 50: No Mercy
The next day, Robert got ready for his appointment with the head of the communication company, Mr Wright. He left quite late that morning, with an extra car filled with bodyguards. Indeed, he wasn't joking about the issue with Sophia. He knew for a fact that she would show up at his supposed meeting venue and thought of ways to find out who had been giving her information. As they arrived at Wright's Communication Company, Mr Wright and a few other staff were outside to welcome him."Good morning, Mr William. It is nice to have you." Mr Wright said as he extended his hand for a handshake."Thank you very much for having me, Mr Wright." He said as he shook hands with Mr Wright and all his staff who awaited."Let's go in and sit. You can have something to eat or drink if you want. Then we can get down to the business of the day." Mr Wright offered as they walked into the building. The building was an enormous one, with lots of state-of-the-art infrastructure and equipment. Robert was im
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 51: No Other Way
The guards took her away from the premises, away from Robert and threw her by the road side. She looked absolutely miserable as she sat there crying. She had been in her room sulking, as usual when her informant called and had left immediately after without doing anything. Robert, on the other hand got into his car and zoomed off without looking at her, even for once. She watched his car pass right in front of her with tears in her eyes. She couldn't blame herself for leaving Robert, even when she knew that she was at fault. She regretted going through with the divorce, as it was right before he discovered his fortune. With dried tears on her face, she stood up and clenched her fists in rage. The anger she felt was one of a great force and devilish intent. Before that time, she was willing to go through anything for him to take her back but she had never been so humiliated, like what had just happened that morning. She boiled in anger, her being bubbling with hate for the man she had

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
