The Rise Of The Unknown Zillionaire Heir Chapter 161
The living room in the Lennart mansion remained eerily quiet as Zinnia struggled to recover from the forceful slap delivered by her grandmother. Ma'am Luna's stern expression held no hint of remorse, and the shock on Zinnia's face mirrored the collective astonishment of the family. For almost a minute, Zinnia stood there, speechless and wide-eyed. The room's tension thickened as the weight of the consequences sunk in. Finally, she managed to stammer, "Grandmother, what was that for?" Ma'am Luna, her gaze unwavering, replied with an icy tone, "That was for your reckless behavior and disrespect, Zinnia. It's high time you learn to take responsibility for your failures. Secondly and most importantly," Ma'am Luna took a step forward, her voice thickened as she continued, “It's because of your woeful breakdown. You've failed again. How dare you?!”Zinnia's brother, Marcus, stepped forward, his disapproval evident. He spoke to add pepper to the hot issue. "You've gone too far this tim

In the quiet aftermath of the kitchen, Laila paced in solitude, attempting to find solace in the emptiness. The unsettling words replayed in her mind, and she muttered to herself, "No one else knows the truth." A heavy sigh escaped her lips as she grappled with the uncertainty that lingered in the air. Meanwhile, in her room, Zinnia's anger and frustration erupted into more chaos. The sounds of shattering glass echoed as she vented her emotions. In a moment of brief respite, she caught her reflection in the broken mirror again. "It's all because of Duncan that I've been reduced to nothing, he will rot for this!" she seethed, the intensity of her curses filling the room. As Zinnia continued to lash out, a knock on her door interrupted the tumult. Startled, she hastily tried to compose herself. "What is it?" she snapped. Laila cautiously entered, her gaze shifting from the chaos to Zinnia's distressed face. "Zinnia, what happened? I heard the commotion." Zinnia, still fuming, e

Ma'am Luna, upset and visibly distressed, sat in her room, contemplating the repercussions of the lost deal. George, her son, entered with a concerned expression, attempting to ease her turmoil. “Mother, I understand how important this deal was for the family, but stressing over it won't change what happened.” Ma'am Luna, sighing heavily, responded, "George, this was a crucial deal for the legacy of the Lennart family. Losing it is a severe blow." George, trying to console her, said, "Mother, we've faced challenges before and emerged stronger. We can bounce back from this." Ma'am Luna, still disheartened, shook her head. "This was different, George. The consequences of this loss are far-reaching. It is not just about the deal; it is about the future of the Lennart legacy." George, choosing his words carefully, remarked, "Mother, we still have assets, alliances, and capable individuals within the family. We can rebuild." Ma'am Luna, looking at George, acknowledged his attempt to

While Laila's ear danced with curiosity, Zinnia leaned forward. With a hint of excitement in her voice, Zinnia disclosed, "Mom, I think I know something huge about the Walton Group. Scratch that—I'm certain I do." Laila, intrigued by the sudden revelation, questioned, "What do you know, Zinnia? You can't just drop a bomb like that and leave me hanging." Zinnia, wearing a mischievous smile, replied, "I'm afraid you'll have to wait, Mom. I'll only spill the details when Grandma Luna gives me back my position in the company."Laila, taken aback, exclaimed, "What? Zinnia, that's not how you negotiate or share information. What's the point of all this secrecy?" Zinnia, maintaining her enigmatic demeanor, declared, "Consider it my leverage, Mom. Grandmother stripped me of my position, and I intend to get it back on my terms. So,” she made a silent gesture and shook her head. As Zinnia headed down the hallway towards her room, leaving her mother in a state of surprise, she added, "I'

Duncan and Karla exchanged surprised glances, both wondering how a tracker ended up in Karla's car. Karla, trying to wrap her head around it, babbled, "Why would anyone track my car? And why do you think of it immediately?" Duncan, deep in thought and having a sudden flashback, cut in, "It's probably Gregg. When we went to his hideout, he might have planted these trackers in the car. I think there might be more, and the mechanic might not have noticed them since they seem unnoticeable."Karla, skeptical, shook her head, "Duncan, that can't be possible. Why would Gregg want to track us?" Duncan, connecting the dots, replied, "He knows we're onto something. He is likely trying to stay one step ahead. We need to be careful. Let's check the car thoroughly. If there are more trackers, we need to get rid of them."As they meticulously inspected the car, uncertainty lingered in the air. Duncan and Karla, after a thorough search, found no other tracker chip attached to the car. Duncan, c

Ma'am Luna, attempting to regain control of the situation, questioned Gregg, "Eliminate? What exactly do you mean, Gregg?" He chuckled darkly, "Don't play innocent, Luna. You know what I mean. We have to get rid of Archi's son before he unravels everything." Laila, visibly distressed, interjected, "But how? We can't just—" Gregg cut her off, his tone harsh, "It's not something you need to concern yourself with, Laila. We'll handle it. Luna and I have a history of taking care of problems together." Ma'am Luna, conflicted but pragmatic, asked, "What's in it for us, Gregg?" He grinned, sensing an opportunity, "Protection. Unity. With Archi's son out of the picture, no one will be able to trace the past. We all get to keep our secrets buried." Laila hesitated, unsure of the path they were treading. Gregg, noticing her reluctance, added with a sly smile, "Besides, it's the only way to ensure your precious family legacy stays intact." Ma'am Luna exchanged a knowing glance with Laila,

Laila stood in front of her mirror, applying lotion to her face. Unclear images of Gregg flashed in her mind, intertwining with those of another man. She shut her eyes momentarily as if trying to erase the haunting memories. “That was uncalled for,” she muttered under her breath, recalling her mother's sudden slap on Zinnia. Laila quickly rose from her chair, determined to address the situation. She made her way to Ma'am Luna's room. Entering the room, Laila found Ma'am Luna receiving a massage on her massage chair, her eyes closed in relaxation. Ma'am Luna sensed Laila's presence and asked, still with closed eyes, “What are you doing here?” “Mother, I just wanted to say that… it was uncalled for,” Laila stated, her voice firm. Ma'am Luna's brows furrowed, but she didn't open her eyes. “What do you mean…?” “I'm talking about slapping Zinnia. She didn't deserve that.” “Why? She's as useless as you and more annoying than you. I just can't stand her and her crabby…” Unable to tol

In a foggy environment, Gregg cautiously walked into a cavern leading to his new hideout. The dim light revealed a large room filled with sealed cartons. As he entered, someone approached him, welcoming him with a nod. Gregg settled into a steel chair as his hookah was brought to him, the sweet scent filling the air. As the smoke swirled around him, Gregg's sly eyes moved to an approaching figure in the dark. The footsteps drew closer, and a soft laugh escaped Gregg's lips, hinting at an anticipation of the visitor's identity."Welcome, Rhino," Gregg muttered with a knowing smile.Rhino emerged from the shadows, his face reflecting in the dim light from a lamp above the wall. The lamp directly illuminated Gregg, creating an eerie yet intriguing atmosphere. Rhino sighed with a smile, acknowledging the camaraderie between them. The cavern echoed with their subdued laughter, setting the tone for a clandestine meeting between allies in the clandestine world they inhabited. The seale

Some weeks later, Abigail stepped out of her car in front of the airport. She was set to leave after being unable to detach herself from Duncan for the last weeks.Linda and Xia bid her goodbye, expressing their good wishes."Take care, Miss Abigail. We appreciate everything you've done,” Linda said, emotionally.Xia added, "Safe travels. We'll miss you." As Abigail headed towards the entrance, she was pleasantly surprised to find Duncan and Karla inside, waiting for her. They had arrived earlier to see her off.Duncan, smiling warmly, said, "Hey, Abigail. We thought we'd come to say our goodbyes in person."Abigail was touched. "You didn't have to do that. I'm really grateful."Karla with sincerity, said, “Abigail, you've been a true friend to Duncan and you've helped me in some ways too. We can't thank you enough for helping us."“You're both welcome.” Abigail stared at Duncan as he spread his arms apart, asking for a hug.Abigail hugged Duncan one last time, and with a heartfel

The following morning, the Lennart family received the news that Gregg and Rhino would soon face trial. Ma'am Luna fretted about the implications, and Laila suggested a drastic measure."Mother, considering the situation, maybe we should leave the country. It might be the safest option for us and Zinnia."Ma'am Luna, pondering the idea, said, "Leaving the country might indeed be the best way to ensure Zinnia isn't exposed for Duncan's death. After all, his corpse hasn't been found."Meanwhile, Zinnia overheard their conversation and entered the room."Leave the country? Why? What's happening?"Laila, trying to calm her, explained, "Zinnia, dear, it's just a precaution. With Gregg and Rhino facing trial, it's better for us to avoid any unnecessary attention."Zinnia was skeptical. But what about Duncan?" Ma'am Luna, feigning concern: "Sweetheart, we're doing this for your safety. If we stay, people might start questioning Duncan's disappearance."Zinnia reluctantly agreed."Fine, bu

Abigail observed Duncan and Karla getting into Karla's car before driving off. A single tear slipped down her cheek, quickly wiped away as she elegantly adjusted her knee-length gown. Xia appeared behind her with her P.A., stating, “You shouldn't have held back and listened to the nonsense Karla spewed.”Abigail chuckled. “It's okay.”“Maybe it's time to wrap this up,” Abigail declared. “I will go alone.” She slung her bag over her shoulder and left.“She's so strong,” Linda remarked as they watched Abigail drive away.“You're right,” Xia concurred. “She's also a great person. Right?”Xia dropped her gaze to Linda, nodding in agreement. Meanwhile, Karla kept a watchful eye on Duncan as he drove, his demeanor almost reckless. She hesitated to stop him, not wanting to ruin his mood. However, as Duncan nearly lost control, endangering their lives, she forced him to pull over.“I am sorry,” Duncan apologized after stopping. It dawned on him that he should have been more careful, realiz

Duncan was surprised at what he heard and his expression turned stoic. “Duncan, I only learned about that tonight when I heard her and Karla talking about executing the plan.”Duncan looked away slowly, unable to believe his ears.Karla came closer and said, reluctantly, “Also, Abigail is Rhino's niece. I knew about it.”Duncan's gaze shifted to her in astonishment. “You learned about it today?”Karla shook her head. “It was during the last party.” Duncan's jaw dropped. “I'm sorry.”“You kept it from me for days?!”“I'm sorry, Duncan, I didn't intend to do that.”“Crap! How can you tell me that? Abigail is related to my father's killer and you kept such important information from me. Why?!”Karla sighed, remorse evident in her eyes. "Duncan, I didn't want to burden you with more pain. I was torn between revealing the truth and protecting you from the harsh reality. I thought it would be better to let you know at the right time."Duncan groaned, frustration and betrayal etched on hi

“Duncan!” Karla yelled, taking a step, but a smile on his face eased her worries. Gregg's men, stationed to take Duncan down, surfaced, awed by Duncan's calmness. Karla, surprised, rushed to him, checking his entire body in panic. “Duncan, are you okay?” Duncan nodded, taking off his suit jacket. Unbuttoning his sleeves, he revealed a bulletproof vest. Karla gasped and sighed. “You're wearing a bulletproof?” Duncan nodded, and she laughed softly before pulling him into a hug, panting. Amidst the chaos, Duncan embraced Karla. "I had to take precautions. I couldn't risk anything happening at this critical moment." Karla, relieved, whispered, "I was terrified. It looked so real." Duncan kissed her forehead. "I needed it to be convincing. Now, let's let them think they succeeded." Zinnia and Ma'am Luna, still amid the chaos, discreetly slipped away, realizing the plan had taken an unexpected turn. Lady Zelda, shocked, approached Duncan and Karla. "Duncan, are you alright?"
Chapter 224
Ma'am Luna, losing her patience tightened her grip on Zinnia, urging her. “Answer me!” Unsure of how to respond, Zinnia hesitated before finally deciding to play along.“I didn't do anything, grandmother. Duncan just disappeared on his own, and I don't know where he is.” Zinnia maintained a facade of innocence, concealing the dark truth lurking beneath the surface. Ma'am Luna let go of Zinnia and she excused herself to use the bathroom. Confirming ma'am Luna wasn't watching her as she walked away, Zinnia signaled to Gregg who was standing some meters away from her, and headed out. Gregg followed her. He walked up to her as she paced back and forth outside.When he tapped her, she spun, startled and almond screamed.“Dear, relax. What's wrong?” Gregg asked.“Ma’am Luna, I mean my grandmother seems to be suspecting me. She just asked me about Duncan earlier.”Gregg frowned, concern etching his face. "What did you tell her?"Zinnia took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "I

After a brief silence, Karla pointed at Abigail, who strangely did nothing but stare at her in astonishment. “If you ever wish ill for Duncan again, then I won't think twice before giving you a dirty slap to get you thinking straight.”Abigail smirked and chuckled before rubbing her stinging cheek, which had turned red.“You know what, Karla? You're unbelievable. I had thought for once that you're different from those selfish women out there. I had empathy for you when you opened up to me, and that's why, to date, I have not told Duncan about your relationship with Rhino. You have turned against him and stabbed him in the back. Why? Because he rejected you?! You're so pathetic.”Abigail shrugged and straightened up, managing to smile. She simply said, “Enjoy the party, and… my regards to Duncan.” With that, she entered her car. Karla watched her drive off, engulfed in bitterness, then returned inside.Abigail pulled by the side of the main road later and called Xia.“You're at the pa
