The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 45: The Quiet Aftermath
As Amanda and Lawton stepped out of the restaurant, the cool evening air wrapped around them like a comforting blanket. The tension from earlier was finally beginning to fade, and Amanda felt herself relax. She glanced over at Lawton, who seemed unusually composed considering the chaos they had just left behind. His phone buzzed in his pocket, and he pulled it out with a casual smile. “Everything okay?” Amanda asked; her curiosity piqued as he quickly typed a message. Lawton’s fingers moved with practised ease across the screen, his eyes glinting with mischief. “Just telling the manager to keep up the good work,” he said, tucking the phone back into his pocket. Amanda frowned, a hint of suspicion creeping in. “Good work? What do you mean?” “Well,” Lawton began, his voice taking on a light, teasing tone, “you know how everything went down back there, right? I thought it’d be a good lesson for them.” He winked at her, his expression so carefree it almost seemed too perfect. “If it wa
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 46: Uncovering the Past
The clock on the wall ticked steadily, a reminder of the late hour as Amanda settled on the couch, flipping through a book absentmindedly. She could hear Lawton moving around the kitchen, his usual calm demeanor present even after the chaotic events of the day. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that something else was going on, something she couldn’t quite put her finger on. She glanced up when she heard Lawton’s phone buzz on the coffee table. He picked it up, glanced at the screen, and his expression immediately shifted. Amanda’s heart skipped a beat as she caught the brief flash of concern in his eyes before he quickly masked it with his usual stoic expression. “Who was that?” she asked, trying to keep her voice casual, though she couldn’t help but feel a little worried. “Mr. Smithson,” Lawton replied, his tone clipped. “It’s about my mum.” Amanda’s brow furrowed at his serious tone. “What happened? Is she okay?” “She’s fine,” Lawton said quickly, his gaze briefly meeting hers
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 47: Jack Harper Survives
Lawton and Smithson fixed their gaze on the screen, scanning every detail as smoke and fire flooded the radio waves. The picture was grainy, distorted by the extreme heat and debris, but the absolute destruction was clear-cut. The warehouse had become a blazing inferno, devouring everything within its bounds. Lawton had a sly grin on his face as he continued to stare at the sight as it was what he had wanted. He sighed in relief as he could finally relax, but as he looked towards Smithson, he noticed his eyes, which were still fixated on the screen with utmost attention. This bothered him as he walked towards him with concern. "Look at the screen," Smithson stated in a serious tone, looking towards Lawton as he noticed him walking up to him. Smithson's tone surprised Lawton and he immediately looked back at the screen to see what made Smithson look so frightened. He continued to stare at the screen for some seconds and saw nothing except the sight of the burning warehouse, but as
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 48: The Tragic Turn
The night was short for Lawton, who had stepped him so late at night after the late meeting he had with Smithson. They still couldn't get how Jack escaped the fire and Lawton was so interested in finding out how that happened. The next time he opened his eyes, he saw his wife staring at him with love in her eyes. He smiled at her, "Good morning babe," Lawton said, smiling at his beautiful wife. "Good morning," Amanda replied, smiling softly, “You woke up really late” She had to wake him up since it was extremely late and he needed to go to work. She could see that he was tired, but it was past 8 am and she knew his boss wouldn't be pleased about his lateness. Amanda thought he was tired because of the reunion, what she didn't know was that Lawton had sneaked out of the house late last night when she had already slept off. "We should both get ready for the day, or we will be late if we keep staring at each other," Amanda added when Lawton didn't say a word but kept staring at hi
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 49: Hospitalized
Lawton couldn't believe what he just heard "My mother is in the hospital?" Lawton asked, playing dumb, trying to delay the inevitable. "Call the doctor back, Amanda," Lawson whispered in fear. Amanda called the doctor back and gave the phone to Lawton to talk to him. "I have been trying to reach you, Mr. Lawton," the doctor said as he answered. "My phone was on silent because I didn't want to distract myself at work," Lawton said. "What did you say happened to my mom?" Lawton asked. "Please, if you can, come to the hospital right now," the doctor said. "I'm on my way, doctor," Lawton said before hanging up the call. Lawton immediately rushed out of the house and Amanda followed him. They both got into the car, and Lawton drove off. The hospital was 20 minutes from their house, but Lawton couldn't wait that long, so he sped up the vehicle. Lawton was driving so fast that it scared Amanda. She didn't talk at first but had to when Lawton kept increasing his speed. "Please, slo
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 50: Poisoned
Lawton couldn't believe what his ears heard. His mother was poisoned! He didn't know what to say or do at the moment. Lawton was petrified! His eyes widened in frozen terror as he thought of what to say to the doctor next. Who could have poisoned his mother? How did it happen? What if she hadn't gotten to the hospital on time? What could have happened? Lawton finally snapped off it and composed himself. "How is she now?" Lawton asked, with a puzzled look. "She's stable now, Mr. Lawton," the Lead doctor said. "Thankfully the poison was quite a common one and we were able to administer the antidote on time," the lead doctor added. "Wow, thank you, doctor," Lawton said, sighing in relief. He didn't even know what to think, he was more than grateful that his mother was okay. "I will prescribe some drugs for her, you just need to go and get them," the lead doctor said. "Alright, thank you, doctor," Lawton said. "Will my mother be fine?" Lawton asked again, with a doubtful gaze,
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 51: Eyes in The Dark
"I need to see you now, Smithson," Lawton ordered the moment Smithson answered the phone. "Okay, young master," Smithson replied. He has heard what happened to his young master’s mother and was expecting his call. Smithson was about to ask if he should come over to the hospital when Lawton spoke. "I’ll come over to pick you up wherever you are. Send your location," Lawton instructed and Smithson quickly sent his live location to Lawton. The moment Lawton saw Smithson’s location, he quickly made a move and walked out of the hospital before realizing he hadn't told Amanda where he was going. He rushed back into the hospital to see his wife dozing off on the chair. "Babe, I'm going to see someone. I will be back in the hospital. You should go home, I would drop you off,” Lawton said, tapping Amanda. "No, babe, I want to stay with Mom," Amanda smiled lazily. He wanted to push it, but Amanda gave him a glare and he kept shut. Seeing that he couldn’t
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 52: The Unfamiliar Face
Amanda was at home when she heard a knock on the door. She went over, knowing it wasn't Lawton since he had left for work a few minutes ago. She opened the door to find Lily standing in front of her door. "Hi!” Amanda exclaimed, excited to see Lily. They had not seen each other in a long while. "Hi Amanda," Lily smiled, pulling Amanda into a tight hug. They've been friends for the longest time, yet they hardly get to see each other except on video calls. "I came here to see you and invite you to a celebrity party that is happening tomorrow," Lily mentioned the moment she stepped into the house. Amanda was reluctant about following her and Lily could see it in her face. She knew Lawton would need her, especially when his mother was still in the hospital and he was busy with work. “Don't you dare say no, you've been stressed lately. I can see it on your face. In fact, go and get dressed, we are going to a fancy boutique to get you some designer clothes," Lily said, smiling. Am
