The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 87: Cobwebs
Robert took the card from Mr David, a perplexed look on his face. He gazed down at the card, as he wondered why they would they couldn't talk where they where."I don't understand, sir. Is there any thing you want from me? I'm really busy at the moment so I might not...""Calm down, my boy." Mr David interrupted calmly. "Just find some time so we will talk. It is very important." Robert looked away for a moment and tried to open his mouth but David interrupted again. "Okay. How about you give me your card instead? I'll call you later. Is that okay?""Okay, sir. Let me get it quickly from the car." With that, Robert pushed the door open and got out of the car. His eyes moved from the guard standing by the door to the rest of the cars littered around. As Robert walked back to the car, his bodyguard's eyes lit up immediately."Is everything okay, sir?" The bodyguard asked at once, turning to face Robert as he opened the door to the back seat. "I already called some of my colleagues to ge
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 88: Butterflies and Ants
Sophia quickly slid a nice,shiny, little watch into her wrist, her pace almost faster than the speed of light. Her shoes tightened to her feet in the same manner before she walked to the mirror in a rather gentle manner. "Why the rush, sweetheart? Where are you going to, by the way?" Michael asked with a slightly irritated look on his face."Why are you asking me that? Weren't you here when my sister called?" Sophia asked back, her tone set with anger."Well, I was. But that doesn't explain where you are headed. I've watched you move about this room in such hurry and I can't still understand why. For all I know, your sister only said she'll call you back, or am I wrong?""Oh! She called back not long after." Sophia said calmly, a sudden smile kissing the sides of her lips. "I'm sorry. You must have been in the bathroom when she called the second time.""I didn't know that and you were going all off on me. Am I not trying enough? Huh?""I'm sorry, babe. I didn't mean to make you feel
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 89: Long Lost Friend
As Sophia drove in through the school gate, she felt a warm air of nostalgia sweep through her entire being. She smiled warmly as her head turned from side to side, admiring the environs of the University she had long graduated from. A semester had just ended so the school grounds were vacant, giving her room to drive freely with out any interruptions except from that of the school's security guards. But it didn't last long, for they both recognized her. As a former beauty queen of the school, she was quite known and cherished, even by the non-teaching staff of the school. But looking at the old guards at their duty posts, she felt bad for them. She felt bad that they hadn't achieved more out of life since her university days, but she swept the feeling off and focused on the reason why she had come in the first place.Her heart was almost too small to contain all the happiness she felt, since when her sister had called her earlier. Her eyes were filled with tears she tried so much to
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 90: Hailey's Comet
Juliet sighed in anguish as she rose from the floor which she had been kneeling on. She set her hands on her waist in an akimbo and paced around the room. On the floor, various paperwork laid scattered with the cabinet still open over them. She walked tired to the water dispenser and gulped down a full glass of clean, chilled water."Oh my!" She sighed with a long breath as she set the cup back where it belonged. "I guess this is where I fall to the ground and pass out till morning. Then get picked up by Robert tomorrow morning when he arrives." She paused and chuckled at what was going on in her mind even with how tired she felt. "What is wrong with you?" She asked herself with a whispering tone, a light chuckle escaping her nude coloured lips. "There's a serious issue at hand and you are here. Fantasizing about being carried to the car by your boss." She paused and slid her hand in to her hair. "Okay, okay, okay. Let's get this over with, so I can go home and get some rest."She wal
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 91: If It Isn't Erick
Erick thought about what to say for a moment as he examined her pretty, yet tired face. A blank expression was now over her face as she pondered on what reaction she should put out to him. She had asked him not to come, but here he was, smiling at her under the golden evening sun."Ummm..." He stuttered as he tried to speak. "I figured that you would be tired after everything that had happened today, so I decided to come pick you up. You know, you lessen the stress of waiting for a bus.""Oh, I see. And how am I supposed to take this?" She asked in a lightly annoyed tone."I do not know what you say." He paused, looking down at the tarred ground to escape his eyes for a moment. "I guess it's up to you."Juliet sighed calmly and shook her head. She didn't know what else to say but one thing she knew was that his intentions were pure. She looked him dead in the eye for a moment then looked towards the direction of the bus stop. She sighed again as she brought her eyes back to the fine m
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 92: Forever An Ally
Sophia and Treasure sat silently on the swing,moving back and forth slowly in an almost rhythmic pattern. Their smiles were refreshing and the happiness each person felt could be perceived at first glance. Suddenly, two able bodied men, dressed in black walked by, their eyes on the two sisters as they moved slowly. Sophia stopped, the smile on her face melting away. She turned to her sister, surprised that she didn't stir at the gaze if the two strange men."Do you know those men? Why were they looking this way? What do they want?" She asked calmly, in a very low tone."The mighty Soph is scared. You were the rebellious child that was never scared of doing anything. Why are you scared on some random men?""It's not that. It's just...." She paused,not knowing what else to say."Don't worry. There's no need to be scared. They are just my bodyguards.""Bodyguards? You have bodyguards? Why? How? I thought you hate those." A surprised look danced over Sophia's face as she questioned her si
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 93: Early Morning Questions
"Sir, sir!" A familiar voice called out, the person's fist equally knocking loudly against the door of Robert's bedroom. Robert couldn't quite decipher if the oddly loud thuds he was hearing were a product of his dream or reality. His eyes fluttered open slowly and unwillingly as he stretched his whole body over the bed like a reluctant octopus. He sighed tiredly as he rose from the bed, his view of the door blurry and indistinct."Who is that?" He asked as he rubbed his palms over his tired eyes."It is I, sir. Raymond." Raymond replied with a rushed and uneasy tone. Behind the door, he stood waiting even if he barely could. His hands together as he rubbed them in a manner that showed that he was in a state of panic."What is it, Raymond? It's still so early in the morning. What do you want?" Robert's voice was coarse and still sleepy, he turned and looked out the window. The skies still looked a bit dark, the bright, yellow sun being the only thing lightening up the sky. He could t
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 94: Unforseen Villain
The policemen looked at Robert sternly, a suspicious budge rising in each of their stomachs. But Robert was not in any way intimidated by their stare. He knew that Jude wasn't hiding anything but feared for the effect of the scandal on his company. As he walked away, he waited for some reason that even he didn't know. One of the officers turned back and glanced at Robert one more time, whispering something as he turned to his front. Robert looked on, unshaken by his stare, shutting the door as soon as they got in to their car.Raymond's eyes were wide open when Robert looked at him. He was totally shocked about the allegations and did not know what to make of it."Don't worry about it, Raymond. It's nothing, okay?" Robert said roughly, his voice not as comforting as the words ought to be perceived."But... But... There is a dead man? Why is Mr Jude being questioned? Who is Mr Mendev or whatever his name is?""Well, I do not know who Mr Mendev is either." Robert replied, taking a sudde

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
