Chapter 99: Punishment.
What?! Everybody in the room froze and, for a second, even time stilled in shock. The air shifted into a charged one, heavy and thick with suspense– suspense that could be touched or even felt.As for Sonia, she bleached white, her eyes widening so large that her balls almost popped out from their socket. Was her eyes playing tricks on her, or was… this really real?Her chest did multiple summersaults all at once that she feared she'd faint. Her knees went jelly, and she staggered backward before quickly regaining her composure. What the hell?!What sort of person was Drake?!How did he fucking know where to find Jerry?!“How…how is he…here?” She blurted, the words slipping from her mouth before she could stop it.Drake walked up to Jerry and crouched beside him. He lifted his chin in his and pressed hard while locking eyes with him in an eerie smile. “Hi Jerry, how was your short stay in Vietnam? Did you have fun?”The man spat through bloodied lips, part of the slimy liquid landing
Chapter 98: A Witness.
Sonia deadpanned, her chest constricting like there was a lump in there restricting her airflow. She scoffed, before an annoyed expression crossed her face as she glared at Drake, wondering who the fuck was he. “What's the meaning of this? Do I know you? Why do you keep accusing me?”“Can someone tell me what's going on here?” Aria asked, confused. “Sonia?”“I don't know what he's talking about, ma'am. I'm completely clueless. He can't just keep accusing me of being a thief,"Drake smiled. Fitting his hand into his pocket, he took two quick steps and stood in front of her. His brows lowered. “You've got the last chance to say the truth,”Aria turned to him. “What're you trying to say? What truth?”“How well do you trust her?” Drake asked. “Can you tell what she's capable of?”“Even so, are you trying to say Sonia is responsible for the disappearance of my one billion dollars?” She said, frowning suspiciously.“Actually, she's in collaboration with other people, the accountant included
Chapter 97: We Caught The Thief
“My money! All my money! My goods! Everything is gone!” Those were the words resounding in Drake's ears as he drove through the busy road. Aria's shrill cries were imprinted in his mind as he tightened his hands on the wheels, anger slowly rising in him.In minutes, he arrived at Aria's company to find a crowd gathered. People were whispering amongst themselves while others just stood there. It didn't take long for him to push his way towards Aria who was standing at the center of the crowd, arms folded in shock.“Hey, are you okay?”She broke down when she saw him and his hands went for her back as he supported her. “Breath in, I've got you…”“Every single thing is gone. The thief took away all my financial records and transactions. I have no idea who and my technical team is still tracking it,” She looked at him with glassy eyes. “I…I don't know what to do, Drake. Is this the end of everything? Did I come all this way just to crumble now?"“It's okay,” Drake brought her trembling bo

Three days later:“It seems every news outlet is on this matter, young master. There are too many articles. We're trying our best, but—”“It's Rose. She's directly controlling the ugly narratives,” Drake's teeth clenched. “I saved her. She could have died, but I intervened and this is what I get?”“Lydia must have poisoned her mind. They're best of friends,” Silas placed a hand on the table. “She tried everything to keep you in jail, too bad, she couldn't succeed,”Drake picked up a glass of water and took a sip. “How's plans for the resort?”“Yes, young master, the deal sealing for the government resort is in motion. I'll be meeting with the legal department to further discuss the contract,” He paused. “This is a resort that'd bring in $80 billion revenue annually. We have to go for it, young master,”“Great. Are we the only perspective client?” “No, there are a lot of other people eyeing the deal since it's a favourable deal,” Silas said. “If we announce our intention to join, ther
Chapter 95: Relax, I Will Get You Justice.
About ten minutes later, the police arrived and Lydia perched herself by the side of the corridor with her sunglasses on, completely hidden from plain sight as she watched Drake getting led out of the hospital by the three officers.Two of the officers had him by the arms to ensure he won't escape. His face looked stunned but still calm. His expensive suit was wrinkled, his dark hair disheveled, but he looked strangely composed.He didn't fight them, but his jaw were clenched tight as he kept pleading his innocence. “This is all a big misunderstanding. Yes I hit her, but I didn't run away. I mean I brought her here to this hospital. Why would I do that if I didn't have her best interest in heart?”“You will have your chance to speak at the station, Mr. Drake,” one of the officers replied.Layla nodded. Beautiful. Let him suffer. Let him he disgraced. He hit her friend. He could have killed her.As the officers led him past her spot, his head turned slightly as if he could sense her pr

Lydia remained frozen to the spot. She tried to move, but it felt like her feet had been cemented to the floor. Drake? How was he here and with her friend?Could they…could they possibly know each other?No, that was impossible. Rose only hung out with the high and mighty, so there was no way she could know someone like him.Drake was bent now over Rose, as if checking if her pulse. He made the action look so caring that she had to turn her head away slightly.Everything around her was a messy blur of the nurses rushing past her, the machine beeping in the distance. The nurses placed Rose's body on the stretcher, wheeling her away.“No…wait,” She coughed as she ran after the medical team that was wheeling Rose away.“Wait!”But nobody was listening to her because they couldn't wait. She kept running down the corridor. Then turned left, following the signs that read “Operating Rooms” in bold letters. But then she halted in her tracks, hiding in a corner the instant she saw Drake stan
