The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 34. Duncan in jail
Emily took up lunch time in search of the police station where Duncan was confined. Taking out her phone, she dialed his number and it was then that she remembered his phone would be confiscated. She also tried to call Duncan's Dad but saw that the number was not on her phone. There was no way she could have asked Zachary about the place where Duncan was taken to.Wait! Was he even taken to a police station? Maybe Zachary had him taken to somewhere else. No, he won't take the law into his own hands. Zachary was not that kind of person, unless he had changed to a bad person.After checking in on about three police stations, Emily finally found Duncan confined in the fourth one. Duncan was soon brought out to see his visitor who threw him a disappointing gaze.Biting her lower lip, Emily stared at the man before him whose expression was blank. He was possibly still in shock as to why the men he employed suddenly turned against him. What did he expect? Money can make people do the unex
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 35. I lost my appetite
Zachary could see that the people he came to meet had company but he didn't know who the third person was. Her seat was not facing the direction he came from. Mirabel was about to ask who the guys were waiting for when Zachary suddenly showed up before them and their eyes met.Staring at each other, Mirabel flashed Zachary a smile but the latter did not reciprocate. He just fixed his gaze on her, his expression indifferent.Turning his face to his friends who pretended to be busy with their drink. He turned back to Mirabel who was still smiling."Hi Zach.""What is she doing here?" Zachary directed his question to his friends and Johnson acted like he did not hear him."Welcome Zach." Johnson greeted but Zachary just threw glances at the boys."Uhm, Zach. I actually saw them here and decided to come over and sit with them. I didn't want to have lunch alone, so I hope you don't mind?" Mirabel tried to clear the air but Zachary was still staring at her like she had committed an offense.

"I'm all ears." Zachary said and Johnson continued with what he was saying before the interruption."Zach, We called you here in respect to the offer you made us at the birthday party. We wanted to let you know that we've made up our minds to work at your firm. Only that we hope it'll have a better pay than where we were currently working." Johnson explained and Zachary smiled inwardly.For being so kind to him during his trying times in school, Zachary was willing to double their current salary. He wasn't interested in how much they were currently earning. All he wanted to do was pay back a debt of gratitude.Even though the friends were in the dark about how Zachary was able to quickly acquire his wealth, they still wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt."Well, I understand. You should know that I searched for you myself just to help you." Zachary spoke and his friends threw glances at each other."Yeah, you were my friends and I still consider you guys as such. Since you have
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 37. I like what I'm seeing
Zachary, who was bored of the usual routine of going home from work everyday decided to stroll around the mall. Maybe he would see something his eyes fancy. Not like he lacked anything. Going to the mall was just out of leisure. Striding into the entrance of the mall, he thought he saw someone, but the person quickly ran back as if she had forgotten something, making him puzzled.Was the person running away from him or is it something else? Zachary was curious. He stood at a spot for some time with Stone throwing a confused look at him. He was waiting to see if the person would come out again but on the contrary, it was some unfamiliar faces who were busy with their shopping spree. Seeing that it was no use waiting there, he continued strolling, stopping just at the jewelry department.Since he wasn't sure of what he was looking for, Zachary decided to feed his eyes with different brands of Gold wrist watches and possibly get one for himself and his assistant.Scanning across the s
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 38. Just quit now
Mirabel quickly met up with Emily at the same restaurant where she came to have lunch at noon. The earlier waiter had recognized her and welcomed her happily."Welcome ma, I'm glad that you came back again. I hope that you'll try out our dishes this time?" He said smiling as he gave her the menu to choose from. "What would you like me to get for you?" He continued and Mirabel smiled back. "Just get me a strawberry milkshake." She replied and the waiter nodded and left.Mirabel already had dinner so there was no need to eat more. She might lose her fit if she ate too much.Emily, who was not also hungry, was having a glass of wine as she watched the two dialogue with a sense of familiarity."Have you been here this afternoon?" Emily curiously asked."Yeah. I came here for lunch but ended up changing my mind at the last minute." Mirabel enunciated and Emily raised an eyebrow."Why?""Uhmm…. Well, something came up and I had to urgently attend to it." Mirabel wanted to tell the truth bu
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 39. How Powerful money can be
Zachary smiled at himself for his little conquest. The black-haired girl whom he sent Stone to pay for her purchase followed him down to the car just for an audience. However, he had asked Stone to zoom off immediately, leaving the girl in bewilderment. He was not sure why he did what he just did but somehow, he felt good inside. He felt priceless.Yes, that is how it should be now. The girls chasing after him. He was done with going after them. Even though he plans on having his own family one day, he is sure to observe clearly before making a decision.The beauty of the dark-haired girl was quite mesmerizing but that wasn't enough. Beauty was no longer enough. Moreover, Emily was once the most beautiful girl in school those days but with a stone-cold heart who ended up surprising him.Zachary still had that mischievous smile on his face when Stone stared at him from the rearview mirror. He wanted to ask him something but immediately decided against it."Say it." Zachary's voice came
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 40. Bankrupt
On the other line was Johnson. He had just arrived at Influitive Oil and Gas together with Smith. It was a little too fast as Zachary wasn't expecting them. I mean, how were they able to resign so quickly? "We're at the firm's gate and the security isn't letting any of us in," Johnson complained, and Zachary asked him to give one of the security men his phone. The latter immediately obliged and with one command from Zachary, the gate was flung open, and the two friends made their way to the elevator. "What are the two of you doing here?" A voice interrupted them and they both paused on their steps to see who it was. Emily headed in their direction and halted just before them." With surprise evident on their faces, they took a few minutes staring at themselves. It was obvious that they were learning something new at that moment. Emily was working at Zachary's company. But how?The two were already sworn enemies, why was Zachary still letting her work here? Well, they were bound to fin
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 41. More trouble
Duncan could not believe what his foolishness had cost him. His father had to borrow a huge amount of money from the bank just to bail him out. Even if Mr Taylor yells down the building scolding him, the deed has already been done. They were now bankrupt and couldn't even afford to pay their workers. Worst was that no contracts were coming and soon their employees would start quitting one after the other. Their house was the only thing used as collateral and soon, the bank would be on their neck for their money. After having a cold bath, Duncan stayed in his room the whole time. All efforts to get him to come out of his room proved abortive. It was later at night that he drove off to a bar to calm his nerves.Duncan observed the other people in the bar as he kept gulping down more glasses of his scotch drink. Like him, some customers were having their drinks in forlorn while others seemed to be in high spirits. Lifting the bottle of drink to observe closely, Duncan saw that it was al

“Sir, the meeting will start in thirty minutes.” Maraya informed him before leaving for her office.It didn't take long and the meeting started. After the meeting was over, Zachary asked two men to wait behind. They were the general manager and the assistant general manager.Since John was the general manager, he had to wait behind. However, his heart was pounding heavily as he kept wondering what Zachary was up to.“Sir, you asked us to wait. I hope there's no problem?" The person who spoke was the assistant General Manager, Mr. Vincent.“Uh, Yeah. Please have a seat." Zachary replied to the men while his gaze was fixated at the file before him.Zachary soon lifted his face to stare at the other man. “ Mr. Vincent." He called out.“Sir." The man replied, looking tense. He was also wondering in his heart why the young boss asked him to wait behind.After a deep sigh, Zachary nodded his head and smiled at the man. “Mr. Vincent. I must say that I'm impressed with how you handle your job

Thinking that the lady will get angry, Zachary was stunned to hear her dismiss the matter.“It's ok, I hope it went well?”"Yeah, it did go well before someone came to piss me off.” Zachary replied truthfully. Although he had no intention of telling Chloe about going with Mirabel."What happened?” Chloe asked with concern. "And who's the person who offended you?”"It's a young lady flirting with me. What got me angry was the way she treated the waiter. She was so rude and arrogant. I had to tell her off and left the venue.”"Oh.” Chloe was at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, Zachary decided to change the topic.The duo chatted for a while until they were taken away by the sandman.At the office the next morning, Emily made her way to Zachary's office.

Chapter 116. What do you think?
Stone, who was not expecting such a question, lifted his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror. “Ma'am, what did you say?" He pretended not to hear her the first time.Mirabel chuckled and asked the question again. “Do you think that anything can happen between me and your boss?”Stone swallowed hard. He was completely at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, he replied to Mirabel. “I…uh,.. I don't have an answer to that question.”Although Stone really wanted Zachary to end up with Mirabel, his boss was the one to make the choice himself.Mirabel smiled while still watching Stone from the mirror.“Ok, tell me what you think about me? Do you think I'd be good for Zach?" Stone pursed his lips and nodded. “Yes Ma'am, you're a great person and I think you and my boss will look good together. However, he's the one who would make the choice." “Does Zach have a girlfriend? Tell me the truth." Mirabel continued to probe further. Although she had confessed her feelings for Zachary

When Emily left the mall, she went back home to finish up with the weekend job Zachary gave to her.

It was a way of getting her mind off everything.Mirabel went out with Zachary as his date.After a while, her father was back and went to knock on her door. “Honey, I'm back." Swiftly, Emily rose to her feet and raced to the door. “I'm coming, Dad?" Before she could open the door, John was already on his way downstairs. “Come on, let's have our dinner." Without another word, Emily raced downstairs and to the dining table. “Hi, Dad. You're back." John only glanced at his daughter and nodded. " Yeah, what have you been up to? Tell me, did you speak with Mirabel?”Emily instantly darkened her expression when she heard Mirabel’s name.“That betrayer." She muttered to herself.“What did you say?" John inquired. It was him who encouraged E

"What do you mean by that?" With furrowed brows, Zachary gave her a questioning look. "Why would your name be on the news tomorrow?""Nevermind Zach, it's just an expression. You should understand what I was trying to imply. Did you not see the way that girl spoke to the maid like she was not a human being? That was not fair and I could no longer stand the sight. If I were to stand up for the maid and confront her, she might insult me and I would be able to take it."Zachary was silent for a while before saying to her."Emily was your friend for so many years before you guys fell apart the previous night, did she not demean people before your presence?"Emily was rendered speechless."Ugh, actually Zach…""You don't have to answer that." Zachary didn't let her finish before cutting in."Well, I'm sure that you're no longer in the mood for the dinner party. I'll go look for my grandparents and inform them before we leave."Mirabel nodded in approval. Indeed, she was no longer in the

Chapter 113. Another version of Emily
Zachary lifted his face to see a gorgeous young lady staring down at him. She was smiling at him as she stretched forth her right hand to shake him. Zachary didn't need to confirm her question because everyone was already talking about him. "My name is Alice and you're at our home. Mr Ferdinand is my grandpa."The Ferdinands had called for a dinner party and invited only the elites in the city. It was a way of building a network and for business expansion. Zachary was only there because his grandfather invited him. He didn't know a lot of VIPs. All the people he had had business contact with were confused to see that Kelvin made him the new CEO. To them, it seemed that Zachary just came out of nowhere and was made the CEO of such a reputable company.However, they could not question Kelvin's decision. It was only the staff who knew the relationship Zachary had with Kelvin. Although they wouldn't dare run their mouth for fear of being sacked.Rising to his feet, Zachary shook the you

Chapter 112. Long lost grandson
Zachary and Mirabel were approached by Kelvin as soon as they alighted from the car. Zachary's car was initially refused access to the residence until he called Kelvin and it was confirmed. The security guards stared at Zachary in bewilderment and wondered how he was suddenly related to Kelvin, the richest man in Texas. They knew Kelvin because their boss had had some contact with him. And the social media also portrayed him as the richest which was quite true.Kelvin reached out and hugged his grandson. After they pulled out of the embrace, Zachary introduced Mirabel to him."Grandpa, This is Mirabel, my…""Your girlfriend." Kelvin helped him to complete the statement with a broad smile on his face. Mirabel was already blushing from the initial compliment Kelvin had given to her. She hurriedly ended the call with Emily when Kelvin started throwing compliments at her. Hopefully, Emily didn't hear any of it or she'd get more jealous. 'So what if she gets jealous. That's her problem n

Chapter 111. I was wrong
"That person looks like Mirabel." Emily muttered from under her breath. As she turned to look closely at the type of vehicle, the car had already started leaving. However, she was able to catch the plate number and deduced something. It wasn't Mirabel's car. Moreover, she drove her car by herself."Whose vehicle was that?" Emily tried to think of where she had seen that exact vehicle."Yeah, I remember now. I'm sure I've seen that plate number somewhere and it matches with the color of the vehicle I know. Oh! It's Zachary's. I've seen him exit the company in that same car."Emily was stunned at the discovery. "What would Mirabel be doing in Zachary's car when she has her own. Moreover, where were they going?"Emily was trying so hard to find out what was really going on. Mirabel had earlier told her that they were not in a relationship yet. However, it looked like they were going to some kind of party together."Yeah, that's it. I'm sure Zachary had asked her to accompany him. It only

Zachary descended the stairs in style. He was dressed in a black notch lapel suit and black shoes to match. He had a pair of glasses on his right hand while his left hand was inside his pocket. He looked dashing in his outfit and quiff hairstyle. Mirabel could not help but gape at the young man as he marched towards them.Following Mirabel's gaze, Nathan saw that it was Zachary approaching. He stared at the young lady and to Zachary before clearing his throat, distracting Mirabel.Mirabel smiled and turned her face away, a blush making its way on her face. She was happy that the man had been distracted from probing her to answer his question."Ofcourse, everyone in our class knew Emily. Infact, she was popular in the whole school because she thought she was the most beautiful girl. However, that wasn't entirely true because there were other girls whose beauty superseded hers."Zachary glanced at Mirabel and continued. "Dad, Mirabel is our guest and you shouldn't be asking her such kin
