Mr. CEO's Executive Secretary Chapter 49 – The Culprit
As soon as he heard the mind-blowing news, Tristan rushed out of the conference room. He even pushed Jacob out of his way.As they were only on the fourth floor, he didn’t even bother waiting for the elevator. He ran straight to the stairs, straight to the parking lot.Joyce, on the other hand, went out of the clinic as soon as her wounds were dressed. Waiting for a cab, she dialed Vernice’s number.“I deliberately bumped into Belle’s car, monitoring her status. I’m hoping she’s dead but we want to be sure,” ending the call after giving her instructions.She went straight home to rest, leaving her phone on the side table so she could hear it when she got a call. She needs to know what happened to the woman.When she closed her eyes, she was again reminded of how Tristan looked at her after she tried stabbing Belle. This ignited the fury inside her.Vernice immediately rushed to the hospital after receiving Joyce's call. She, too, is hoping that the woman she loathes is dead.Meanwhile

Lydia could only recall the drowning incident, as that was all she knew. Belle was a case of mistaken identity. She is not the real daughter of the Roberts.Before Belle was rescued, Lydia and Raymond’s real daughter fell into the sea. It’s been a week. She fell from their fishing boat and wasn’t immediately found, even with the help of the Coast Guard.A week later, Raymond saw a little girl floating near Bree Port. It was Belle. He immediately took her to the hospital before letting his wife know about it.When Lydia got to the hospital, she started crying over Belle, calling her Lottie, their lost daughter. For Raymond, Lottie was already dead, but it wasn’t the same case for his wife.As she was not in a good mental state due to their daughter’s incident, she mistook Belle for her. A woman then approached them, asking what had happened.Lydia told the woman that they had finally found their daughter. She was saved from drowning after a week. The woman who approached the couple was

“Where did you get this?” Esme asked, astounded.Joyce happily filled in on the details of what she had done. Esme gave her a slow clap for a job well done. She couldn’t believe Joyce was bold enough to do something like that.“For your information, this necklace belongs to Belle’s mother. It was auctioned for almost a billion dollars and it was Lawrence who bought it for her. She probably gave it as a gift to her daughter.”Joyce nodded slowly before she took the necklace from Esme. She checked on its details and smiled like she was up to no good again. “Since they got this from an auction, let’s put it back there!”Esme’s forehead creased, unsure whether she was getting what the woman was planning or not. She only understood when Joyce took out her phone and called someone.“I have an item I want to add to your charity auction next week,” she told the other person on the line, still smiling wickedly. “Make sure no one will find out that you got it from me. Also, make sure to place i

Joyce was so pissed after Tristan dismissed her just like that. She was about ready to punch the car window when Jacob suddenly came out of it. Acting like she wasn’t up to something, Joyce quickly retracted her fist, faked a smile at Jacob, then walked away.She was cursing under her breath while walking towards the exit of the parking lot. ‘Now he doesn’t even want to look at me,’ she muttered to herself. ‘This is all because of that bitch!’“Joyce!” Vernice called to her. She was in her car with the window rolled down. “Where are you headed to?” she asked.Joyce walked closer to her, “Nowhere,” she quickly answered. Vernice opened the door of her car to let her in.“Come with me, I’m meeting Mom at Zark’s.”Joyce accepted the invitation and in a few minutes, they arrived at the restaurant. Esme was surprised to see her but she welcomed her nonetheless.“I went to De Clarion Empire to see Tristan,” Joyce started, as soon as their drinks and snacks were served. She was smiling when s

“Sir, an invitation arrived for the charity auction this weekend,” Jacob informed Tristan when he got inside the office. But it wasn’t the invitation that caught his attention, it was the velvet box that came with it.“What is that?” he asked curiously.Jacob passed the box and the invitation card to him, “This is the host’s thank you gift for the donors.”Tristan’s forehead creased immediately. “What did we donate?”Jacob’s eyes flicked at him. Looking at each other, both men were confused as to who would answer the question. “What did you donate?”“I didn’t send them anything,” Tristan shrugged.His assistant then took the tablet from his boss’ table. He opened the site for the auction where the donated items were displayed. He then clicked on the picture of the necklace with Tristan’s name under it.Jacob handed it over to Tristan when his boss looked at it, the creases on his forehead deepened. “Whose necklace is this?” he chuckled, scratching his forehead in bewilderment.“I don’

Belle leaves the office earlier than usual to prepare for the charity auction. She went home with Nathalie as the stylist she hired would go there to fix her, then Eric would pick her up afterward.“You will surely gather all the attention with this,” her stylist was referring to the gown Nathalie picked for her.It’s a V-neck long dress, with an open back and a high leg slit. Nathalie also picked up a silver ankle strap, high heels, and a silver purse to go with her dress.As she was coming as Eric’s +1, she wanted to look presentable. The Thompsons are well-known in the business arena, so she wanted to look good next to the young man.After almost two hours, she was finally ready for the show. This was the auction where her mother’s gift was donated. That was why she was very eager to go.When her stylist left, Belle sat down on the couch and so did Nathalie. They were busy chatting when the doorbell rang.“Wow!” Eric exclaimed. He was stunned to see Belle, beautifully dressed. Her

“Let’s go,” she told Eric, grinning. She’s been trying to stop herself from smiling since she won the bidding, but she just can’t. She’s just too happy.The young Thompson giggled at her, “This is really all you came here for?” he teased, but instead of getting annoyed, Belle nodded at her, still grinning.It’s as if she was confirming that what he said was right. The necklace was indeed all she wanted, nothing more.Eric offered her a hand and she quickly took it. On their way out, a stunning young man blocked their way. Belle quickly looked the other way but he held her by the elbow.“Why are you so willing to spend a billion on that? Is that junk so precious to you?” Tristan asked with a mocking smile.He wasn’t planning to say that but he was infuriated when he saw Belle’s hand on Eric’s arm. He can’t let them walk out smiling.If his night was ruined, everyone else’s night would be ruined as well. He can’t be the only one feeling depressed.Jacob, who was watching from the side,

“What is wrong with you?” Eric asked Tristan as soon as he stepped inside the VIP lounge. Both boss and assistant looked at him with their foreheads creased. “Why are you always picking on Belle?” he sneered.Instead of answering, Tristan just downed the contents of his glass before putting it down on the table. Eric furrowed his brows at Jacob but he just shrugged at him.“You should stop doing that, man,” he warned, “unless you really want her to hate you.” “I don’t know either!” Tristan finally responded, lightly pulling his hair out of frustration. “When I saw her leaving with you earlier, I suddenly got pissed. I really didn’t mean to say those things to her and I can’t understand myself too!”“What’s so bad about her being with me?” Eric asked, confused. “Belle doesn’t have many friends here, you’re aware of that. She obviously doesn’t want to go with you for some reason. Of course, she’ll ask me. She wanted to attend the auction badly and she wasn’t invited. Who else will she

On their bed and while lying on Tristan’s arm, Belle recalled the invitation she got earlier. She forgot to mention it to the man over dinner and even after.“Love, I got a cruise invitation,” she started. “I’m sure you have one too. Are you going?”Although sleepy, Tristan forced himself to respond. “I am, I know the organizer. He’s a good friend of mine. You should go too.”“Can we go together?”“I have a meeting that day and I don’t know what time it will end. The cruise will leave at eight but you have to be there by six for the program. You can go first. I’ll ask Marco to drive you there.”“Alright then. You look very tired love, go ahead and sleep.”Belle planted a kiss on the man’s forehead before squeezing closer to him. Minutes later, they were both taken to dreamland.A few more days later and the day of the cruise came. Just like what they talked about, Belle went ahead. He’ll meet Tristan there.Surprisingly, when she boarded the yacht docked at the Bree Port, no one was t

When Tristan and Jacob arrived at the hospital, Belle’s attending physician told them that the woman had been moved to a hospital in Dale. This was the request of the patient, according to him.Upon hearing that, Tristan instructed Jacob to call the company’s pilot and prepare the private jet. They have to reach Dale as soon as possible.Fortunately, they didn’t take that long to reach the hospital where Belle’s confined. Jacob did the honor of approaching the nurse’s station to ask where the woman’s room was.When Tristan found out that Belle was staying in a ward, he ordered Jacob to move her to a private room. And there he spent all his time taking care of her.“What happened to her?” Lydia asked.Tristan was a bit startled as he didn’t hear anyone opening the door. He stopped wiping Belle’s arm and placed the towel back in the basin.He sat on the chair next to Belle’s bed, and let out a sigh, before facing Belle’s adopted parents. “I’m really sorry about this,” he started.The yo

Tristan dropped Belle off at her company. She was about to enter after greeting the guard when someone called her. She immediately turned around and, to her horror, it was Esme and she was holding a gun.“Finally, we’ve met! I’ve been trying to see you for days!” Esme sneered.“Put the gun down Madam!” the guard shouted, walking over in front of Belle to protect her.However, instead of following the guard’s order, she shoots him. The guard immediately dropped right in front of Belle and it freaked her out.“What are you doing?” she screamed, but Esme just smiled at her. The crazy woman gestured for her to go in and Belle quickly followed.When they reached her office, Esme locked the door and pushed Belle to her table. “I still can’t believe that you’re alive…” she whispered.Belle wanted to say something but no voice would come out of her. She’s been inhaling and exhaling since they got in, but it won’t calm her nerves.Esme made her sit on her swivel chair, while she was pacing bac

It was already bright and shiny when the police finished their investigation. Belle feels like her head is not attached to her neck. Everyone else looked like they were floating."According to the investigation, the guard said that a woman in her late 40s entered the village saying she was a visitor to Luisa Villa," the investigator stated.“Why did he let her in? He didn’t even ask for identification?” Frederick asked irritatedly.“Actually Mr. De Clarion, he did, but what’s weird is that he received a call from someone claiming that the woman should be allowed in. The person who called introduced himself as the butler of the family, John.”Frederick looked at John and so was the rest of the people in the living room. The man raised both hands and spoke, “I have nothing to do with that call.”The police nodded at him, “We believe that Sir, we checked your background and we found out that you’ve been serving the De Clarions for almost four decades already. In addition, you do not have

The past days and weeks have been peaceful for everyone. Joyce was locked up and there was no news about Esme either.Seeing that it’s safe to go back to work, Belle and Tristan decide to resume their posts, Him as CEO of De Clarion Empire and her as CEO of Sweet Sue.All is well for them or that was what they thought.Little did they know, someone was watching all their moves. Someone was hoping to take revenge on them, all of them.A week after Belle came back to the company, she received a package with a dead rat inside. It also came with a note that says ‘You’re next.’Instead of taking it seriously, she decided to just have it thrown away. She also ordered the guard not to receive any packages, unless he knew who they came from.After one more week and three more packages with warning notes, it stopped. To not cause any worry, Belle decided not to tell Tristan about it.However, on her way home one night, as soon as she turned left to the next street, she saw one of the homes in

Everyone was surprised to see Lawrence Williams. No one expected him to show up at the De Clarion Villa.“Dad!” Belle exclaimed before rushing to her father. “How are you?”Ignoring his daughter, Lawrence turned to Frederick first. “I apologize for coming without notice. I just wanted to check on my daughter,” he explained.“That’s not a problem,” the old De Clarion responded. “Please sit down.”As soon as they had settled down, Lawrence turned to his daughter. “What were you saying earlier? What did Esme do last night?”Belle, Tristan, and Jacob repeated the story for Lawrence to hear. After learning everything, the man started bawling and no one stopped him.Everyone in the living room let him pour out his emotions. They understood what he was going through, they understood his pain.When Lawrence calmed down, he apologized again for the scene he had just caused. Then again, he was forgiven right away.“I don’t understand why she keeps doing things she’s not supposed to do. I try my

As the news was about to start, Lawrence grabbed a plate and placed some food there. He leaned back and started eating, while the maid placed his coffee on the end table.A female newscaster was then shown on the screen and behind her was a villa with a beautiful landscape. Lawrence can’t help but be impressed.‘News Flash! Just this morning, a cleaner called the police station to report a murder case. According to the informant, she arrived at this villa as part of her daily schedule. She has the key and has access to the main door and all the other rooms. As she was used to no one being home early in the morning, she proceeded to open the master’s bedroom and was horrified by what she saw.On the bed, a man was lying down, looking wasted, and next to her was a woman bathing in her blood. According to the police, the woman sustained 18 stab wounds on her neck, chest, and stomach. The man with her was taken to police custody for further investigation.The police cannot give any inform

Belle nervously opened the door to the villa. She was quietly praying that when she got home, Tristan would be there waiting for her.When she got in, it was only Frederick and John talking in the living room. Still hopeful, she quickened her pace and sat next to the old man.“Is Tristan home? What about Jacob?”The old De Clarion exchanged looks with the butler. “They’re not here, what happened?” John asked, worried and confused.Belle started narrating what happened. Fiddling with her fingers, she couldn’t stop worrying although John had already told her that he was coming with her to look for them.Meanwhile, outside the villa gifted to Vernice, Esme’s car was parked in a dark spot. Waiting for who knows who, she took out her phone and started dialing.“Where are you?”“We’re on our way. We got the girl.”A smile broke on Esme’s face, she was already feeling triumphant.Minutes later, a car parked next to Esme’s car. “Go right in. Tristan’s already there. CCTVs are everywhere in th

Days passed and Thursday arrived. Belle’s going to meet Vernice at Eden. She was nervous initially, but after she told Tristan about it the last time they met, he assured her that he'd be there too and that dissipated her worries.When the clock strikes 6 in the evening, Belle starts preparing. Since it was just a casual meet-up, she decided to dress casually as well.After taking a shower, she dried her hair and applied a thin layer of face powder on her face. Then she grabbed a red cardigan, black jeans, and a red slip-on. She just tied her hair in a high ponytail and set off.Belle arrived past 7 and the bar was already packed. As soon as she stepped in, she looked up to check the VIP room that was assigned to Tristan. She secretly smiled and sighed in relief when she saw that the lights were on.After confirming Tristan’s presence, she proceeds to walk in, looking around. She then saw Vernice waving at her, so she approached her table and sat in front of her.“I thought you were n
