The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 35: Unexpected Arrival
Amanda walked into her office ignoring Barry who she could hear calling out to her. "I wonder what the hell is wrong with him," She muttered to herself quickly arranging her desk. She looked up at the time and realized it was getting late before continuing. She finished in a split second and walked towards her chair to get her bag when she heard a knock on the door to her office. "Who is it?" She asked, hoping it was not Barry but it was him. "Barry," She heard the voice say, as she rolled her eyes in irritation. He was starting to really annoy her and this made her wonder how she was going to be able to cope with working with him. She also wondered why he was so full of himself and would not take a hint and leave her alone as she looked at the door. "Are you in there?" Barry asked, knocking as he wondered why she would not ask him to come in already. " Yes, Come in," Amanda answered, in a quiet voice before packing some of her things into her bag. Barry walked into her offic
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 36- The High School Reunion
Amanda enjoyed the fresh air on the scooter as it refreshed her after the long day she had just had but as Lawton continued to drive home, she suddenly remembered about her high school reunion. She had earlier told Lawton about the time and venue of the reunion a few days ago but he seemed to have forgotten about it. "Today is the high school reunion, Lawton, I just remembered," Amanda muttered, breaking the silence. "Really, I totally forgot about it," Lawton replied, before taking a U-turn towards the venue. "Let's go then, we do not want to be late for your first reunion party," Lawton added, increasing the speed as Amanda smiled. Lawton arrived at the reunion in some minutes and both down of the scooter with Amanda. As they both removed the helmets from their heads, Amanda couldn't help but be wowed by the expensive cars parked in the parking lot. "Wow," Amanda muttered to herself, admiring the cars. "Let's go in," Lawton uttered, snapping Amanda out of her thoughts. "Okay
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 37- Turning The Table
"You absolutely do not have to worry about me, Steve, I'm good. Thank you for the offer though," Lawton uttered, as Amanda's ex-classmates watched him in disdain. They then all started to whisper all sorts of things about him to themselves, some of them wondered why he seemed so arrogant despite the fact that he was poor while the others called him stupid for rejecting such a good job offer that could have helped him financially. "You sure, buddy?" Steve asked, but Lawton only nodded his head with a gentle smile on his face. This made Steve a bit frustrated as all he had been saying didn't seem to have an effect on Lawton. He had been trying so hard to humiliate Lawton but could not understand how he still had a smile on his face despite all he had said to him. Amanda could see the defeated look on Steve's face and it made her happy. He had finally been put in his place and it felt good. Furious at how quickly Lawton refused the job offer, Steve decided to brag about his wealth
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 38: A Toast to the Truth
Amanda’s cheeks reddened as she glanced at Lawton. She’d been trying to keep a low profile during the reunion, but, of course, he couldn’t resist teasing her. His dark eyes sparkled with mischief as he leaned closer, flashing a smug smile that seemed tailor-made to rile her up. “Come on, Amanda,” he said, his voice low and teasing. “You’re not shy, are you?” Amanda nudged him under the table with her heel, the sharp glare she shot him practically screaming, Not now. Her lips pressed into a thin line as she fought to maintain her composure. The last thing she needed was to draw unnecessary attention to herself in front of her old high school classmates. The atmosphere in the private dining room of The Gilded Orchid was warm and convivial, with the soft golden glow of the chandeliers casting intricate patterns onto the polished mahogany table. The room had a touch of old-world charm, with heavy drapes framing the tall windows and ornate carvings decorating the walls. The scent of roas
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 39: The Royal Treatment
Lawton watched the table in disbelief, amusement barely contained as he leaned back in his chair. Around him, Amanda’s high school classmates were falling over themselves, praising Steve with near-hysterical enthusiasm. The reunion had turned into a strange spectacle, with Steve basking in the spotlight like a self-declared king. It was like watching a performance, everyone playing their part in some bizarre ritual to win his favor. “Steve, you’ve really come a long way since high school,” one of the former cheerleaders gushed, practically glowing as she raised her glass to toast him. “Oh, it’s nothing, really,” Steve replied, but his smile betrayed how much he was enjoying the attention. “Success just tends to follow those who know how to stand out.” Lawton reached for a small appetizer, only to feel the sharp sting of judgement from one of Amanda’s old classmates, a petite woman who had once been part of the debate team. “Hey, take it easy on those, Lawton. This isn’t an open buff
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 40: Steve’s Humiliation Deepens
Steve sat frozen, his face a mix of shock and disbelief as the table’s heated murmurs died down. What had started as a lively reunion filled with nostalgia and shared memories had now shifted into something darker—awkward, tense, and charged with unspoken resentment. The classmates who had been laughing at his over-the-top stories earlier now exchanged sceptical glances, their expressions shifting from amused indulgence to outright amusement at his predicament. “So… are you going to pay for it, Steve?” Jane’s voice cut through the silence. Sharp and teasing, her tone carried just enough faux innocence to make her jab sting. Steve’s throat bobbed as he swallowed hard, his usual smooth-talking confidence nowhere to be found. “Well, uh, I mean…” He fumbled with his words, glancing desperately around the table for support. But no one was coming to his rescue. Eric, who had spent the earlier part of the evening loudly agreeing with Steve’s boasts about his “connections,” leaned back in
The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 41: A Dose of Justice
As the group lingered in the restaurant, tension filled the air. The grand meal that had started with laughter and Steve's boasts was now overshadowed by the awkward realization of the bill. Lawton leaned back in his chair, watching the chaos unfold with a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Amanda steepled her fingers on the table, watching everything unfold with keen attention. "So, Steve," Lawton began, his voice light yet laced with mischief, "weren't you the one who said all of this was courtesy of the owner because he recognized you the moment you walked in?" Steve's face reddened instantly. He fidgeted with the edge of his napkin, unable to meet anyone's gaze. "Uh… yeah," he muttered. "That’s what I thought... at first. Must have been a mix-up or something." Lawton raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "A mix-up? Convenient excuse." His tone was calm, but the subtle challenge in his words was unmistakable. Several of Amanda’s old classmates exchanged uneasy gla
The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 42: Credit Where It’s Due
The table was tense, the air practically vibrating with a mix of confusion, irritation, and barely concealed panic. Steve stood up suddenly, his chair scraping loudly against the polished floor. His hand shot out, demanding silence from the group, though no one was speaking at that moment. “Alright, everyone, just calm down,” he said, his voice trembling slightly as he tried to project confidence. “I’ve got this under control.” Amanda arched an eyebrow, leaning slightly toward Lawton, who was sitting quietly with an expression of mild amusement. “Got it under control?” she murmured, her tone dripping with scepticism. “That man can’t even get his shoelaces under control, let alone a situation like this.” Lawton’s lips quirked into a smirk, but he didn’t reply. His gaze stayed fixed on Steve, who now looked like a flustered actor trying to remember his lines on stage. Steve straightened his blazer and adjusted his tie, as though that small act might magically transform him into someo

"Take us to the nearest hospital," Smithson instructed the driver who drove off immediately. The driver increased the speed a bit as he could tell it was an emergency.
