The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Ninety-Eight: THE CLOSE OF A HORRID CHAPTER
After the invasion on the Wei mansion and the police had arrested all the culprits, the minds of the staff and the owners of the house had calmed down a bit. Thankfully, no one was hurt or shot during the invasion. No one except for Eric that is but it was a small price to pay in his words for the safety of the others.The earlier ruckus had subsided and now there was only peace and quiet on the mansion grounds. The only thing that could be heard now was the chirping of crickets and the sound of the soft wind blowing. The only thing that could be seen was the police tape that was being removed after they cordoned off the area where Eric had gotten shot and the ominous glow of the blue and red lights of the police vehicles casted on the front lawn.Rachel had already gone inside and his father and grandfather had gone to the hospital to check up on his uncle so Marcus stood outside and basically supervised the cleaning and investigation of the crime scene. One of the officers whom none
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Ninety-Nine: THE AFTERMATH
The trial and sentencing of Alexandra caused ripples in both the business world and in other areas of the city such as the underworld but while it was nationwide gossip, it didn’t circulate in the household of the Wei’s. It wasn’t because the owners forbade it. It was because the people who were there that night chose to forget all about it and move on with their lives. One of those people was Marcus.The past few days had been no surprise to his family with all the crazy talk going around but what stuck out to Marcus during that time was the lack of dirt he seemed to or didn’t seem to find on any staff members in the mansion. They were all squeaky clean with little to no priors before they joined the family. He leaned back in his chair at the office and groaned loudly.What detective Callum had said to him that night had stuck with him and he had followed every lead up till that point so it made no sense why he would find nothing and the staff were innocent. It confused him more beca
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Hundred: COMING IN FOR QUESTIONING
“Well, it looks like we have our mole. This is going to be interesting.” Callum said, letting out a breath of uneasy air. “It can’t really be him.” Marcus said trying to protect his uncle and his belief in the man’s innocence but Callum was having no part of it. He pointed to the screen and raised his voice at Marcus.“How are you still protecting him? I understand that he’s your family but this is clear evidence that he sabotaged you. You can’t possibly overlook the fact that immediately he tampers with the controls, thirty minutes later it all goes to shit and people are pointing guns at the people you care for.”Marcus shook his head refusing to believe it. Deep down he knew that the evidence did not lie but he didn’t want to see Eric in such a light. He had been with this man for half a year for Christ’s sake. All the fights he had before, the ones he could remember, he always fought them with anger in his heart but how can he hate someone that was part of his family? If Eric wan
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter One Hundred and One: THE INTERROGATION
Marcus and Callum walked silently to the interrogation room where Eric was already seated and twiddling his thumbs. They saw him first from the windows before they entered the room through the door. Marcus took a seat first before Callum did and pulled out a recorder and a notepad that he could jot on. Callum flipped through his note pad looking for the questions he had meticulously wrote down to ask while Eric and Marcus stared at one another, one not really knowing where this interrogation would lead and the other confused as to why he was even in the interrogation room being accosted by a family member. Callum found what he was looking for and broke the ice. He turned on his recorder.“This interrogation is being carried out by Detective Callum Bennet. Marcus Wei is sitting in on the interrogation. The suspect is his uncle, Eric Wei.”After Callum had introduced himself to the recorder for reference purposes, he turned to Eric and began the interrogation.“Mr. Wei, you are here as
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter One Hundred and Two: CAT AND MOUSE
Marcus ended up going home after some minutes of reflecting on what he wanted to do when he came face to face with the rest of his family. His car pulled up to the front of his house and he got out while a valet came up to him and took the keys to his car before taking it to the garage where it was meant to be kept. Marcus took in a huge breath before he stepped into the house.He had some relief when he entered the lobby of the house and no one was there to greet him. He turned to go up the stairs when his name rang out in the space.“Marcus!”He turned around, feeling a bit nervous about meeting her. Rachel walked briskly towards him; a questioning look on her face. She pouted as she reached him.“Marcus where have you been? Eric came back all by himself. What happened?”“Nothing. I picked him up but I needed to get something while he wanted to get back to the house as soon as possible. I gave him a car and we went our separate ways.”Rachel crinkled her eyes, obviously showing susp
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter One Hundred and Three: EVIDENCE
Ever since the impromptu meeting that Marcus had attended with his family, the emotions in the mansion had shifted. While some people were rallying up against the police force and whoever they thought had put them up to framing Eric, the rest of them were confused at what had happened and right now, had no idea what route to take. Mostly because they trusted Eric but it all seemed very convenient. One of the latter being Marcus, already had something working in the background as the house was in a state of utter confusion. He sat in his room, at his workstation trying to wrap his head around not only the whole Eric situation but also the standing of the company in terms of their records when he received a call from Lori. He had called her earlier hoping that she could help him find something that could prove that his uncle was either innocent or guilty like Callum had insisted but something felt off.“Hey. You’re calling very early. Do you have anything yet?” Marcus spoke as soon as
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter One Hundred and Four: THE BIG BAD WOLF
Marcus successfully got Rachel on his side after he took his time to explain what was really happening. He had pulled her into his room, Lori too and re-explained everything to the both of them also while showing Rachel the pictures that Lori had brought to further prove his point to her. At the end of his talk, Rachel blushed, extremely ashamed of the behavior she had shown when she thought that something else was going on when she saw the both of them together. She had gone through a rough time with Davon and although she and Marcus weren’t romantically involved, she didn’t want another ruined relationship that would be based on lies. She wasn’t sure that she could take that again. “Oh, I see.” She uttered, bending her head a little and staring at the ground while Lori just stood there and rolled her eyes at the situation.“But now that we have this, we have to take it to the authorities and even if nothing can be done, we have to take matters into our own hands.” Rachel said, gett
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter One Hundred and Five: GREEN EYES
Marcus left the mansion in a hurry with the new found knowledge that his uncle had been watching him. It irked him as he got into his car wondering how long Eric's spying had been going on. He knew that there were cameras at every inch of the mansion but he didn’t think that his uncle would be keeping such a close eye on him. Now that Lori's family had been taken by Eric, of that he was sure, he had no choice but to turn in the evidence that they had just uncovered. It was annoying that Callum was right to say the least, but he couldn't risk having anything bad happen, especially to Lori's little brother. She would never recover from that and he would blame himself explicitly. Marcus swerved through the streets trying to decide whether to go to the police station and tell Callum what had just happened or to go straight to a place he knew could disable the cameras of his prying uncle without being noticed.As he made his next turn he noticed that a car turned with him. It wouldn't ha

Chapter One Hundred and Nine: HIDDEN INTENTIONS
Marcus, Rachel, Micah and Elias got down from their respective cars and walked into the precinct where the evidence Marcus had promised was waiting in Coleman’s safe of personally kept evidence. Marcus looked around to make sure that they weren’t being watched and when he was sure that the coast was clear he entered into the building with the rest of his family.Some officers stood up at the mere sight of almost all the Wei family entering the precinct. It had never happened. At least, not after they had been here asking for help to find their son Marcus in the past. It was a rare sight as most of them knew that this family liked to handle their businesses on their own most times and if they were all here at the same time then something wrong was going on. The officers greeted them as they walked by and as Marcus led them straight to Eric Coleman’s office. The same man his uncle had introduced him to.“Who is it?” Coleman shouted out as he heard a rap on his door. The door opened up
Chapter One Hundred and Eight: THE TRUTH IS REVEALED
Marcus had made the necessary arrangements to have Lori and her family relocated abroad. He also had his mind set on sending Rachel with them after his encounter with his uncle the afternoon of the kidnapping, but Rachel had opted to stay back and she was adamant about it. He sighed as he sat down in his office as he wondered why she was being so stubborn and wouldn’t allow him to protect her. Oh, that’s right, he already knew why. She had already told him her reasons but still she had to know that she was in danger because his uncle would do anything to get to him. He couldn’t have her still in the house with that man.Apart from sending Lori to safety and having a mild fight with Rachel about taking her to safety also, the police; specifically, Eric, the chief and Callum the detective had done their part in contacting the officers in Italy to help them with the security issue. When the officers over there were informed that a Wei would be paying them for the job, they jumped at the
Chapter One Hundred and Seven: DECLARING WAR
“Another thing. I need that laptop back. It’s important that I get it back.” Marcus said as he turned back to the smirking men, wanting to get one thing straight. That laptop was still important. One of them shook his head. “We can’t. We still need to get paid by our previous employer.” He said, a small sneer forming on his face. “Do you still want me to pay you or do you want nothing?” Marcus slightly threatened. “What do we tell him when he asks?” Green eyes asked. Marcus rolled his eyes as he couldn’t believe that these men were able to kidnap people in broad daylight and not be caught but can’t lie to save their own lives. It was truly unbelievable. It was a let down. “Tell him that you got the evidence and destroyed it. As for me, let him know that you couldn’t kill me. I went straight to the police while the girls came over here and did the exchange themselves. Assure him that you’ll keep on trying and soon enough, you’ll have me killed.”The men glanced at one another bef
Chapter One Hundred and Six: MONEY SOLVES EVERYTHING
Those green eyes stared back at Marcus, Rachel and Lori menacing and ready to pounce. The man who Marcus could see clearly now, smirked at him, taunting him with that sly grin. Marcus had a feeling that this meeting was probably going to end up with someone dead since the man was purposefully going to kill him before. He could smell the bloodlust from the man.“Calm down. I’m not here to kill you. We need to take care of this business first and then I can finally end your life maybe later.” The green-eyed man spoke out, placing one hand on his waist. “Who ordered you to do this?” Marcus asked, getting a bit on edge as the man and his two partners edged closer to them.“Who ordered me to do what exactly? I have a lot of employers.” He retorted, toying with Marcus. “You know what I mean. Who asked you to kidnap those people and try to kill me?” Marcus asked him more clearly, not in the mood for fun and games. The green-eyed man waved his hands in the air.“Whoa, whoa, whoa. I’m not h
