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
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 95: Worked Up
Robert sank in to the comfort of his bed, the cold morning breeze danced through the slightest open window and blew over him. He sighed calmly, this voice infused with frustration and tiredness. He closed his eyes, his hands and legs spread over the bed in an X-like manner."What is all this?" He asked himself in a sober voice. He wiped his hands over his face and sighed again. "I'll just have to let them in when they come back later. I need to get all this over with." "Just then, a familiar sound drew his attention. He opened his eyes abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound. His phone sat on the cabinet just by the bed, ringing loudly. He pushed himself sluggishly to where the phone lay and picked it up. It was an unknown number. He sighed and concluded in his heart that he would end the call if it was another nosey reporter. "Hello." He said lifelessly, his brows lowered with no anticipation."Robert. Are you okay?" The deep voice replied from the end. Robert's brows imme
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 96: Backstabbed
It was 10 in the morning and Juliet didn't see the slightest sight of Robert. Her eyes moved from her desk to the elevator door every minute, wondering when he would walk in. Tired of waiting, she stood up and went in to his office, her eyes searching for anything that would indicate his presence. But there was none. The place was just as she had left it the day before. Her hands rested against her waist in a an akimbo, with a sigh. She walked gently in to the elevator and arrived at the third floor almost immediately. As she walked out of the elevator, her eyes looked in the direction of her old desk, then it moved to the next, which was Hailey's. But Hailey wasn't there, only her bag and a coffee cup indicated her presence. She walked gently to her seat, a smile on her face as she whispered "good morning" to the owners of the eyes which turned in her direction. She stood at Hailey's desk and looked around. Her eyes met that of a female colleague who was standing by the desk of anot
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 97: Office Business
Juliet was beyond shocked. Her bewildered eyes followed Hailey and her companion till she was out of sight. She inhaled sharply as she took some steps forward, stopping in front of the mirror. She looked into it, immediately wiping a tear away before it could even roll down her cheek."What the hell is happening?" She breathed heavily, feeling all sort of emotions. Anger, sadness, loneliness and homesickness. "It's happening again. I really wish my mom was here." She reached in to her pocket for her phone but it was empty. The phone was upstairs, on her desk. "It's okay. Okay? Breathe in..." She paused and took a deep, long breath, her eyes closed. "Breathe out." She exhaled calmly, a sudden rush of relief flowing through her. "You know Mom wouldn't want you feeling sad. Everything will be fine, okay?" She smiled and nodded slowly. "I guess I'll just be on my own from now on." She sighed for the last time and walked out of the restroom, shutting the door behind her.As Juliet got clos
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 98: A Deadly Surprise
"Oh my! I feel so full." Robert exclaimed as he put his hands on his waist, stretching at the same time. Liam laughed calmly, shaking his head as he watched his friend. "So where are you headed from here? I could take you." Robert continued, finally resting his weight on the car."Nah. Don't worry. You're really busy so I can't put you through all that stress. I'll be fine. How about you? Going home from here right?""Yeah, sure. I need to be prepared for when the cops return. Then, maybe after that I'll have some rest. And I'm taking your advice too." As Robert stopped, Liam looked up at him, wondering what he meant. "I'll address the public tomorrow about the issue at hand so my name will be cleared. I can't let this mess with the company. People worked so hard to get it to where it is, my grandfather especially and I'm not going to let him down.""Now, that's the spirit. Dont let their false accusations taint the company's image. Good luck to you, okay? You can call me anytime you
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 99: All The Support
Robert hit his palm against his forehead in frustration, a tired sigh trailing his lips. "This is my fault." He said sharply, his eyes focused on the wall opposite where he was seating."No, Robert. Look, a lot is going on and you're still trying to find your way in this vast world of business. But blaming yourself for your grandfather's medical condition? That doesn't add up. Just let the doctors do their job, okay?"Robert's eyes turned to Liam, a blank look in them as he thought about what Liam had just said. He nodded slowly and sighed, bringing his head down in to his arms, which were folded right above his legs.Raymond looked on with out saying a word, his mind racing a marathon of thoughts, yet he didn't know which to focus on.About thirty minutes later, the nurse who had spoke to Robert earlier, walked out of the room. She seemed to be in rush but Robert wanted answers. He rose from his seat upon seeing her and rushed to her."Please what is going on in there? How is he? He
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 100: Déjà Vu
Everybody froze up at the voice of the staff manager staring at the scene with a disappointed look on his face."I ask again and for the last time,what is going on here?" His voice resounding almost like that of a roaring thunder, his eyes examining each person's face."Umm... I'm really sorry, sir." Juliet started calmly, her eyes to the floor as she nervously rubbed her hands together. A loud and unforgiving sigh escaped Hailey's lips at her opponent's utterance."To my office now!" The manger retorted, his eyes almost tearing Hailey from limb to limb. He turned away at once, his steps hard against the tiled floor. Juliet followed immediately, walking closely behind him as she tried to explain herself."I'm really sorry for the disturbance, sir. It was intended.""I didn't ask you to say a word, Juliet. Wait till we get to the office." At his words, Hailey laughed softly, get very audibly. "Serves you right." She said softly."What did you say?" The manager asked as he turned bac
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 101: In The Rain
As Juliet set the phone on the table, a message popped on her screen. She peered down at it as she scanned through the words. And just two words stood out: dinner date. She could already guess who the message was from. She sighed and picked up the phone."Hey, Erick." She started in a calm voice, her head lowering gradually till it was on the desk."Hi Juliet. How are you?" He asked softly, sounding cheerful and enthusiastic."I just saw your text." Her words were unexpectedly bland. Erick noticed."Are you okay? I asked how you were but you said nothing.""You shouldn't worry about me, Erick. I just called to tell you that I can't go on a date with you tonight. I really need to get some rest.""You don't sound okay to me, Juliet. Quit telling me to not worry about you. I care about you and I hope you know that. Just tell me what's wrong." It suddenly felt the weight of the burden she was fighting so hard to ignore was pressing mercilessly against her. She didn't know when tears ran d

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
