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
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 102: Proof Of Life
Robert stood by the transparent door of the hospital's entrance and watched the downpour. It had suddenly switched from a gentle one to a rather violent and heavy one. He sighed in frustration as he thought about all that was going on. Liam and Raymond could only look at him, pity in each of their eyes. It seemed they couldn't comfort him no matter how much they tried.Just then, a young man of about thirty years walked out of the emergency unit, his hands in his white robe as he strode gracefully. Liam rushed to him immediately."How is he, doctor? He is fine, right?" Liam asked impatiently, eagerly waiting for a reply."Calm down, sir. Calm down. Are you Mr William's son? Or grandsons?" He asked calmly, his eyes moving from Liam to Raymond who stood just closeby.As if Robert heard him speak, he turned and rushed back to where his friend waited. Upon seeing the doctor, he rushed towards him, almost stammering as the questions came pouring in."Is he okay, doc? How is he doing now? C
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 103: The Call
Robert was alone with his grandfather, watching as the old man's eyes were closed peacefully. From his view, it seemed as if the old man was frowning. Robert's head was down turned, in a manner that would make it seem as though he was staring to the ground, whilst his eyes and entire focus was on the ninety year old man who laid motionless."How could I have ever let this happen to you, Grandfather?" He said to himself, his voice was nothing short of a whisper, a whisper that was seemingly loud because the nurse turned to look at him. But he didn't notice her, or her presence even."I should have never left you alone" he said once more, his fist folded as though he was about going in for a punch. "Why are these things happening now? Now that I am in charge of the company? Why now?" He was not referring his questions to the old man. He was actually talking to himself. His face was grim, he wore a frown, untop of it was a pair of red eyes. All of this gave him a terrible countenance th
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 104: Mommy's Girl
Sophia graced through the doors of her parent's mansion with a little bag hanging over her shoulder. Her parents were so happy seeing that her overall expression and mood had changed for the better since Michael came back in to her life. She was no longer up in her room all day, sulking over Robert who wanted nothing to do with her. Her mother, Roseline rose from the cosy cushion and went to meet her little, precious angel."Ohh! My baby is back." She said with a beautiful, whole smile as she wrapped her hands over Sophia, taking the bag from her as she let her go. "How did your vacation go? You were with Michael, huh?" Roseline said slyly, throwing a flirtatious wink at her daughter."Mom!" She exclaimed with a laugh. "You don't have to be like this, you know. But I had a very good time with Michael and it isn't even what I would tag a vacation. But oh well, I enjoyed it.""But you were together for days snuggling and hugging and......" Roseline said in a mushy voice, holding the bag
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 104: Family Feud Ended
The eyes of both Richard and Roseline had water waiting in them, almost about to drop into a downpour as they looked at Treasure who was had a light look of anger in her eyes. Although, there was a little glimmer in her eyes which showed that she missed them as well. Sophia stood still by the stairs, like a statue watching her sister. Roseline was the first to cry out in a tone that displayed how happy and yet how sad she felt. "My daughter where have you been? Why did you disappear from us like that? We have all missed you so much."Her heart was pounding hard. There was a lot of things going through her mind at the time, but seeing her daughter standing right there was enough to open herself to a wide array of emotions that almost had her bursting into mad wailing.Their father also stood up, although he was quiet at first, was the first to walk towards his long lost daughter. "What happened to you, Treasure? Where did you go to? We were worried sick about you. We have been lookin

"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
