Dexter Crane: secret trillionaire returns!

CHAPTER 6

“What? You can't be serious,” Vera quickly ran to her.

“Its literally on this email! How could this happen?” Lena was starting to weep.

As her confusion got bigger, she turned to Vlad.

“Do something, Vlad! You told me you know the investor. Save my company!” She cried out and held his shirt, sobbing into his shirt

Vlad was petrified. He has no idea who the investor was. The lie he told to get back with Lena was starting to backfire. But h couldn't allow her see that.

“Of course I know the investor. He's a good friend of mine. I'll reach out to him and demand for an explanation. Trust me baby!” He wrapped his arms around her

Vera smiled while she watched them.

“This is the son-in-law I've been looking for. He is so capable and efficient. Now my friends will see that I'm living the life as well!” She thought to herself and beamed with pride.

“I have good news for you baby! Look!” Vlad said and pulled out a card and handed it to Lena.

She sniffled while she opened it. With eyes wide open, she gasped.

“This is a special invitation to the banquet of the Crane ultra exclusive dinner party. Only top billionaires can secure an invite to this party. How did you do it?” She gasped.

Vlad beamed with pride. “The incoming CEO of Crane Group gave me the invite himself! Will you like to come as my plus one?” He asked her.

“Of course!” Lena quickly hugged him tightly. Vlad smiled.

Her mind roamed to the CEO Vlad mentioned. “I heard the incoming CEO is a young man with exceptional skills. But people rarely see him or meet with him,” she thought out loud.

Vlad froze. “Well… he was my friend back then. We still communicate. You know I roll with top people,” he let out a cold laugher. Lena nodded.

“Is he as handsome as they say?” She asked with lust in her voice. Vlad shot her a glare before he quickly faked a smile.

“Stupid bitch. Just deliver this baby and I'll dump your sorry whore ass!” He thought.

“Baby, let's not go there. Now I want to take you shopping!” He said and led her to the car

Even when they walked, Lena’s mind was on the CEO. She wanted to see him, to know him, and possibly seduce him to get access

For her, it was all just a game. And she wasn't afraid to play dirty!

“Boss, I pulled the assets from Lena's company just as you commanded. That'll teach that bitch never to mess with you!”

Delilah said to Dexter over the phone while Mark, the personal bodyguard, drove Dexter down the busy streets.

“Good job, Delilah. What about preparations for the exclusive banquet?” He asked her.

“Everything is in place, sir. In two days, your grandfather shall announce you as the official CEO of the company during the banquet,” she said with excitement in her voice.

“You deserve this, young master. For five years while your grandfather lay in the hospital, you've taken over his duties and multiples our wealthy by over one hundred percent!”

She said again, admiration filling her voice.

Dexter smiled. “I just did my best. On my way to the hospital now to see my grandfather. Keep me informed of any other developments,” Dexter said and hung up.

Mark took a short cut and drove straight for Lantana Hospital, the best and most exclusive private hospital in the entire city.

He parked by the drive way, allowing Dexter to step down while Mark located the garage.

Dexter stepped inside the hospital. He'd learned that his grandfather's ward had been upgraded to a new suite recently, and only wanted to confirm with the nurse at the nurse's station.

“Hi, can I get a visitor's card please?” He said to the lady who looked at him with a glare in her eyes.

She sized him from head down, noting his casual clothes and humble composure.

“Visiting hours are closed. Come back in six months,” she stated dismissively.

Dexter frowned. “But we are still within visiting hours. I just want to see my grandfather. Let me pass,” he told her but she chuckled.

“I didn't know they let a loony run free. Look around you! This isn't the kind of hospital that your grandfather could be! Check the dirtiest hospital down the streets. He will likely be there!”

She said again.

Dexter was pissed off. But he didn't want to engage her further.

“You better not deny me access or you'll regret it,” he told her.

The nurse snapped.

“Hey! Don't fuck with me! Your grandfather is not here! Get a grip and fuck off!” She yelled at Dexter .

People at the reception were starting to look at them now. She noticed this and wanted to humiliate him even further.

“What's your grandfather's name? Just for posterity sake,” she asked Dexter .

“Damon Crane,” Dexter replied.

There was a moment of silence before the nurse burst out laughing. She laughed until she wheezed.

“Now I know you've lost it! Damon Crane is the most important patient in this hospital. Everything runs based on his comfort. He cannot be related to a fucking loser like you!”

“Now…” she stood up and pointed her fingers at him.

“If you don't get out, I'll call security on you!” She yelled at him.

Dexter frowned. He crossed his arms.

“I'm not going anywhere until I see my grandfather,” he calmly responded.
