The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 77: The First Scandal
"Thank you so much, Erick. You don't know relieved I feel now." Juliet said as she walked Erick out of her house. It was already late but the city lights and the blaring sound of loud cars from miles away made it seem like it was still day time. "I mean we just met like some days ago and you really brought me home after what happened with that dude. Just to make sure that I was okay. You don't know how grateful I am.""Oh! It's fine. I just wanted to make sure you're okay." Erick said as he turned to look at her, his entire body now resting against the door of his car. "So are you going to tell me who that dude is?""I will." Juliet sighed. "But not just right now. I don't feel like I want to.""It's alright. I'll just be on my way now. Take care of yourself, okay?" He said as he moved and got the car door open. Juliet looked on as he got in to the car, her hands together in a kind of nervous manner."I will. It was nice having you around. Hopefully, we can do this some other time?""
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 78: The Dilemma
For some reason, Robert was extremely early to work that day. It was barely 8 in the morning. As Juliet walked out of the elevator on the fifth floor, it was evident that Robert hadn't even gone up there that morning. She quickly got in to the elevator again and went down. The elevator door opened up on the third floor and there, Robert stood in front of the employees. He turned as she walked in, facing his audience again before he spoke."You're finally here, Juliet. Have a seat." He said firmly with a tone of urgency. "Good morning, everybody. I hope you had a hopeful night rest." He started immediately. Juliet gently walked in, taking position by a temple. She smiled shortly at her colleagues who stood by her, then turned to face Robert. "I believe you all saw the crowd outside when you walked in moments ago and I know you are wondering what is going on." As he spoke, everyone listened attentively, silently trying to digest the words he was saying."Apparently, one Mr Rick Mendev
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 79: The Archives
Juliet could hear him talking to himself in his office. She longed so much to take a glance at his face and comfort him with her eyes. But that was seemingly not going to work, after all, he was her boss and she was nothing but his secretary. Everything seemed to be happening so fast, before her very eyes. Just few days ago, she was appointed secretary and that same day, her ex from college showed up. As if all that was not enough, she had also met Erick who seemed to be a very great guy. She sighed softly, her hand up against her chin as these thoughts ran freely in her mind.She finally managed to look back, moving her head as slowly as she could so she wouldn't get noticed. Robert sat there, his eyes focused in the direction of the window with the most miserable look plastered on his face. She sighed again, this time in a more aggressive and dejected manner."What am I going to do?" She said slowly under her breath as her fingers drew invisible circles on her desk. She knew that s
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 80: Sound Of The Shotgun
The reporter on the news that morning looked very neat, her voice working hand in hand with her appearance. Sophia laughed loudly, clutching her hands over Michael's neck as she hugged him. They were at one of his penthouses, not far from the outskirts of the city."You know what babe?" Sophia said with a giggle as she drew invisible shapes on his bare chest. Michael shook his head, his hands over her waist as he waited for her to speak."We really needed this. This little getaway." She said calmly, her voice like that if an enchanting angel. "I missed you so much too. Now I think about it, I can't even believe I almost threw all this away.""What do you mean by that?" Michael asked with a light frown on his face, slightly furrowing his brows."I mean you. I can't believe I almost gave up this relationship with you for a worthless fool. And I promise you, it will never ever happen again.""Are you sure?" He asked as a little smile broke in, taking off the frown on his face. He looked
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 81: Suspicions
For a few minutes, there was silence on both ends. Erick felt a bit disappointed by her response and how blunt it had been. He wondered if hanging up after that would be best but he decided against it because that too, would be insensitive and childish of him."Umm.." He started, clearing his throat for a moment before he continued. "That's alright. How are you, by the way?" Juliet closed her eyes as a mild feeling of guilt enveloped her. She sighed softly before she replied."I'm really sorry, Erick. I'm just having a really bad day at work today and there are many things I need to attend to. I didn't mean to sound rude.""No, no. I understand. There's really no need to apologize, okay? Maybe we can go out some other day. That'll be totally fine with me.""Are you sure?" She asked slowly, feeling a bit uncertain."Yes. So how are you? What's going on at your office?" His voice ringed with the element of concern, eager to hear all she had to say."I'm really not supposed to talk about
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 82: Sister, Oh Sister
Sophia looked down at her phone, buzzing loudly as the screen beamed with an unforgivable, bright light. She gently picked up the phone as she tried to identify who was calling."Who is this?" She said aloud as she stared at the unknown number. The call timed out almost immediately and she sighed, setting the phone on the couch again. Then, it began buzzing again. "What? Who the fuck is this?" She grunted as she cussed bitterly, taking the phone I get hand again. "I can't just answer any call, I'm trying to get some rest." She spat roughly, almost at the top of her voice."What's wrong babe?" Michael asked aloud, from another part of the penthouse. "It's nothing, sweetie." She said loudly, still starting at her phone as it rang. "Just some unknown caller disturbing my peace." This time, her voice was almost inaudible, with a silent sigh following after.Reluctantly, she answered the phone. An irritated and uncertain look on her face as she slowly put the phone against her ear. She s

"But Treasure..." Sophia tried to protest but then, she heard the beep. Treasure had ended the call. She exhaled slowly as she relaxed in to the couch, her hair aback as she slid her hands through it once more. Michael stood close by with a little rectangular box in hand, looking at her."What's wrong babe?" He asked immediately with the most clueless look on his face. Sophia turned to look at him, tears welled up in her eyes with her stare. "Babe? Talk to me. What's wrong?" He asked again, rushing to where she was at once."It's just...." She tried to speak but her voice trailed off immediately, leaving Michael in a worried and almost frantic state."You're confusing me, babe. Just tell me." He continued, trying to b calm with his approach. He set the present he had gotten her on the table and drew closer to her, his body against hers in a comforting manner. Her stroked her hair gently."It was my sister. She just called all of a sudden." Sophia finally spoke up."Sister? You have a
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 84: The Fishy Deal
"Sir." Juliet called out with will as she approached Robert's office. Her voice was filled with a certain level of certainty and determination, drawing Robert's attention immediately. Robert looked up at her, his eyes sparkling with hope at the intensity of her voice."What is it, Juliet? Did you see anything?" He asked at once, hoping with every inch of him that she had found something valuable."Yes, I found something." She affirmed strongly, setting some documents on his table. " It appears that the Mendev group has had a long history working with your grandfather, Mr Jude." She separated the files on his desk and pointed at the first one, at Robert's left."Here is Mr Mendev's first proposal. A proposal for a super mart project and your grandfather bought in to it." Robert nodded as he picked up the file and went through it slowly. "Go on." Robert said with a strong and commanding tone. This eyes still fixed on the file in his hand."The second one over there." Juliet continued,

"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

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

"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
