Not wanting to draw unnecessary attention to himself, Jake sent Darius and Vaughn to the location that Dono provided as the address of the anonymous blogger.
To his disappointment, they returned with feedback that the place was a small coffee shop that opened only three times a week.
“Anybody can go there to do whatever they want and leave once they’re done,” Darius said. “It’s not a credible location. It’s a dead end.”
“Are you sure the person that gave you the address wasn’t just guessing?” Vaughn asked.
"I don't think so,” Jake replied. “As you already pointed out, the location is a hub for everyone to eat and work and then return to their bases.”
“So, what do we do now?”
“Don’t worry. I’m sure there’ll be another opportunity to catch the culprit.”
This turn of events made Jake even more suspicious than ever. What

Jake was silent on the trip back to Hawaii. Tessa Barnes had made him an offer that seemed like a deal between the devil and the deep sea.He was troubled and restless at the same time. The worst part of it all was that he couldn’t even confide in anyone. Not when he’d been told that the real enemy was someone close to him.Instead of going home, he asked to be driven to his office. He needed some time to think carefully about his situation before he made his move.“Only three people know about what happened in the Bahamas,” he thought aloud. “Dono, Barry and Megumi. Which one of them is trying to sell me out and why?”His phone rang. It was Sandra calling him.“How did it go?” She asked curiously.“Not so well. I have been given a task that is nearly impossible to perform,” he said cautiously.He had to choose his words wisely because he knew Barry was privy to all of his ph
The Underdog Billionaire Chapter 100: Jake Turner Is Dead!
“I’m not a magician.”“I know. However, with a skill like yours, I do not doubt that you can carry out my request successfully. Just name your price.”“Well… I was under the impression that you wanted to find someone.”“Yes. That was my initial plan but I think this new idea is much better.”“Look, I find people. I don’t make them disappear.”“Same difference. If you can find people who don’t want to be found, you can as well make someone vanish into thin air too.”“Even if I could do that, don’t you think I might be in trouble afterwards?”“How?”“Who knows you’re here?”“My COO and his brother-in-law who contacted you.”“You see? If I make you disappear tonight, the trail will lead back to me. That’s not how it’s done. You should vanish wit
The Underdog Billionaire Chapter 101: Shock Waves
The news of Jake Turner’s sudden death sent shock waves throughout the country. Nobody had seen it coming, perhaps, not even him.The police began investigating the suspicious explosion that incinerated the Underdog Billionaire in his opulent residence. Everyone was a suspect including his newly widowed wife.“Why am I being interrogated?” Megumi wailed when the police detective showed up at the mansion yet again to question her about her husband’s untimely death.“As we have stated before, everyone is a suspect in this investigation,” one of the policemen explained calmly. “this is merely a routine process to rule out the possibility of your involvement in your husband’s murder.”“Are you kidding? Why would I want him dead?”“That’s exactly what we want to find out,” the second detective said patiently.“I don’t understand. Even if I wanted my hu
The Underdog Billionaire Chapter 102: Investigation Continues
The animosity between Megumi and Victoria continued to worsen to the point where they no longer talked to each other.Jame’s third birthday was not celebrated but he got his favourite strawberry cupcake as a treat for the day.It was already a month after Jake’s tragic death and nothing had been done to commemorate his painful exit.Gregory, Pierce and Fletcher finally showed up at the mansion on the 31st day after the incident to discuss the way forward with the Turner family.“We think a memorial service will be a decent way to close this chapter and begin the journey to healing for everybody,” Pierce said solemnly.“You don’t have to worry about the planning, we’ll handle it,” Gregory told Megumi.“A memorial service without a body to bury…” Megumi sighed.“We could use the ashes salvaged from the explosion site,” Gregory suggested. “we&

“When is your family leaving this house?” Victoria asked Megumi the next morning while her stepmother sipped dandelion tea alone in the dining room.“What happened to ‘Good morning,’ huh?”“I’m sure we can both agree that there hasn’t been a good morning in this house since my dad died. Now, back to my question. When are your folks leaving?”Megumi lowered her teacup slowly and pinned Victoria with a blazing look. “Now, you listen to me very carefully, little girl. I will no longer tolerate your rudeness towards me. I am also grieving but you don’t see me going about insulting my elders.”“I only asked a simple question. When are they leaving?”“Not any time soon.”“Why?”“Look, I’m not in the mood for your tantrums this morning, Victoria. Leave me alone.”“I am going to move out of this hous

“What are you doing here?” Pierce asked coldly when he came face-to-face with Sandra in front of his house.“Hi, I’m Sandra Barnes.”“I know who you are. Why are you here?”Sandra swallowed nervously. “well, I was told that Victoria Turner is here. I wanted to find out how she was doing.”Pierce snorted. “Is this a joke? You show up to my house uninvited and ask to see the child of the same man whom you tried to destroy with your mountain of lies? Your audacity is amazing!”“I am sorry that everyone has developed the wrong impression about me. I wrote those articles out of ignorance and besides, Jake and I resolved that issue long before he died.”“I don’t know what you’re looking for, Sandra, but you won’t find it here. Please, leave my property right now.”She sighed in disappointment and took a step backwards. “I brough

“So… where are we going?”“Indonesia.”“For real? I’ve never been there before!” Victoria said excitedly.“Me too but I’m looking forward to exploring the place,” Gregory replied with equal enthusiasm.For the first time since her father died, Victoria did not feel that heavy weight of grief that constantly clouded her thoughts. For once, she felt eager and excited to see what the rest of the day would bring.The only thing she found odd about this trip was that Uncle Pierce had insisted that they travel without any of the bodyguards. She never went anywhere without them since her kidnapping, and she felt a bit nervous about not having them around this time.It didn’t matter that they were flying in one of her dad’s private jets. Not having an armed guard nearby just in case something unexpected happened, didn’t quite sit well with her.She could only
