CHAPTER 25 - The Suspects
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I
Based on the gathered information of Atty. Yhera’s NBI friend, Conrad Zhang, Rhoda’s ex-boyfriend, is a 26-year-old, car racer and the illegitimate son of a wealthy Chinese businessman. He has been involved in numerous troubles. He has been once imprisoned when caught having a pot session inside a club during a buy-bust operation. He was fined for overspeeding and been blootered for allegedly punching a waiter in a restaurant in Makati City.
“He is an ill-tempered idiot,” Atty. Yhera murmured when she finished reading the report about Conrad Zhang.
Atty. Yhera’s suspicion grew more about Rhoda’s ex-boyfriend. If that man was capable of doing those past troubles and /or crimes, it was highly possible that out of his jealousy and bad temperament, he killed Rhoda and most probably Seigfred, with whom Rhoda has publicly declared obsession.

IWhen Atty. Yhera arrived home after her coffee time with Jethross, she felt light in a way. She was amazed to notice a very different type of Jethross already. She seemed to have matured so much not only in looks but also in taking care of his responsibilities in life. Maybe because of the life he had after getting married to Rose. Now, Yhera could understand, why Jethross was given by the Lord that time to Rose and left her; he was more to be needed by Rose and not by her.Thinking now if he can consider Jethross as a suspect for the death of Rhoda and most probably of Seigfred, whom she always prayed to be still alive and safe, made her think twice already. But, as a lawyer, she needs to continue the investigation; she will wait for the investigation report of her friend at the NBI before finally letting go of Seigfred from the list of suspects.She went directly to her room after ki

ISurveillance on Conrad Zhang has been tightened. All his whereabouts have been recorded. Unknown to Conrad Zhang, his three cars, including the one he used for his racing have a tracing detector put in each of its undercarriages. So, whatever car he will use, the NBI team will be able to find him.Atty. Yhera also used her connections at the Registry of Deeds to locate all the properties of the Zhang Family, which she guessed to be under the name of Conrad Zhang’s Filipina Mother or under Conrad Zhang himself. His father is Chinese so definitely under the Philippine laws, he, as a foreigner cannot own land in the Philippines.Her connection inside the Registry of Deeds e-mailed her the list of about ten real estate properties owned by the Zhang Family. What triggered Atty. Yhera’s curiosity was that beach resort in Isla Verde, a secluded island nearby Batangas Province. When she researched the island, he

I When the NBI Operatives together with Atty. Yhera approached Conrad Zhang, they found out that the man lying on the ground was not Seigfred Yee. “Mr. Conrad Zhang, we have a search warrant in this premises, “ the head of the NBI operatives said. Conrad Zhang looked at them with squinting eyes, “Why are you going to search our resort? What did I violate?” he asked harshly. “For possible kidnapping of Mr. Seigfred Yee and for killing Ms. Rhoda Tolentino and we will already include serious physical injury for this man, in flagrante delicto,” Again the Head of the NBP Operatives said, showing to Conrad Zhang the copy of the search warrant he has in his hand. “Sir, please help me, please help and Mr. Seigfred,” the lying man on the ground suddenly said in a stammering manner. Conrad Zheng was about to kick him but one of the NBI already pointed his gun at Conrad Zhang. “Kick him or hurt him and I will blow your gaddam ass,”
The Billionaire Meets The Fierce Lawyer CHAPTER 29 - Where is Seigfred Now?
IBefore the NBI Operatives and Atty. Yhera came to rescue Seigfred at the Beach Resort of Conrad Zhang, Seigfred was able to escape.For a couple of days, Seigfred tried to untie his hands using a small broken glass that he found inside the room. Immediately, he untied the knot also on his feet and got out of the room through its window, hiding from bushes to bushes, in order not to be noticed by the two guards around. He sneaked until he reached the beachfront almost crawling. As he checked around, he knew that his only escape was to be able to go to the other side of the island. But he cannot be able to swim all throughout no matter how good, a swimmer he could be. He tried to find something that could help him survive in the sea while swimming going to the next island. He could not use any boat, surely, once a boat will be heard and seen going away, he will be caught. Until he saw a big gallon of water.

She could risk her life to save her should she is at risk.Aling Matina shouted at their guards to follow her. So, three of their guards ran along with her going to the shore.“Shandall, what happened?” With a worried tone, Aling Matina asked the woman who was kneeling in front of a man’s body, which seemed to be not breathing anymore.The three guards approached their Madam and one of them checked the pulse of the man lying on the sands.“What? Is he still alive?” Aling Matina asked, exclaiming.The three guards looked up at Aling Matina simultaneously, and the man who checked Seigfred’s pulse nodded. “Y

I Atty. Yhera and her officer friend at the NBI made a further search on Seigfred in the nearby islands where they caught Conrad Zhang; Today, the whole afternoon, they were able to visit two nearby islands but unluckily, there was no sign of Seigfred there. Sad and about to lose hope, Atty. Yhera, excuse herself from her friend and his co- NBI officers and she walked briskly inside her Montero car. As she sat down inside her car, Atty. Yhera was not able to hold back her tears. She let herself cried and poured out all the sorrows and emptiness that she felt inside her heart since the time Seigfred has been found missing. They said, sometimes, strong women breakdown and cried too; they just hid it, where no one could see them. The fierce lawyer cried and felt how weak she is right now. She just sent a message to her friend, saying she will go ahead and drove her Montero car b
The Billionaire Meets The Fierce Lawyer CHAPTER 32 - Stolen Kiss
I True to his promise to Shandall and accepting her reasons as valid enough, the young Doctor keeps his mouth shut. He also wanted to protect his patient, should his life has been at risk. He returned the next morning to the beach resort of Shandall when he was being picked up by the woman’s driver and bodyguard. Inside the guestroom, Shandal took a sit on the chair beside the bed where their unexpected guest is still sleeping soundly. Her eyes never leave the handsome face of the man, whom she knew now as Seigfred Yee, a billionaire, who owns an international real estate company. She could not take her eyes away from his nose down to his inviting lips. She could even imagine, how it is to be kissed by such manly lips. She moved her chair nearer to the bed and stretched her right hand. She caressed his face and traced his nose and his lips with her fingers. Unable to control herself, she moved her head nearer and lowered it down, kissi
The Billionaire Meets The Fierce Lawyer CHAPTER 33 - Awake
I Her heart palpitates as she tried to move her feet. She can’t hide the excitement within her at the same time regrets that she came in late in his life. She is sure that he would automatically request to call his fiancee, now that he is awake and everything between their unexpected meeting will be gone in vain. Inside the guest room, Seigfred indeed has awakened. His eyes were opened and trying to familiarize himself with the place he was into. “Where am I?” he asked the young Doctor as he entered the guest room. Shandall was following him. “Hello Sir, I am Doctor Pol, this is Ms. Shandall and Ms. Matina here. You are in a private resort owned by Ms. Shandall’s family here in Batangas. How are you feeling now?” the young doctor said as he walked nearer to the bed of Seigfred. “I think, I am fine now Doctor Pol; I just felt my throat dried up so I asked for

I A few days have passed and Atty. Yhera and Seigfred stayed like they are always in their honeymoon stage until they returned both to their works. They found out more about Shandall being the mastermind too of shooting Atty. Yhera based on the report of Atty. Yhera's friend at the NBI. It brought anger again to Atty. Yhera, and more so to Seigfred. But seeing how happy his best friend, Buddy is now with Shandall, Atty. Yhera tried to pacify her heart and once again decided not to sue Shandall. Seigfred was not actually amenable to that. "She should suffer the consequences of her action, Sweetheart. She might do it again," Seigfred said hissingly. He wanted Shandall to be punished for hiring someone to shoot Yhera, yet the latter pacified him. "I am certain that Shandall is now happily in love with Buddy, Sweety. She only did that out of love for you. Now, that she is happy with Buddy, I am sure she will not do it again. I do not have the heart to kill that love now between my best
The Billionaire Meets The Fierce Lawyer CHAPTER 54 - The Mastermind
I Seigfred, who was getting more curious, asked again, “Tell me, Sweety, who was the mastermind in ruining our wedding this morning?” His tone was not sweet anymore, rather, it was the tone that he usually uses as the CEO/President of his multi-billion Dollar Company.“It was Shandall, according to that woman, who intruded in the church during our wedding. As reported by the police officer, that woman admitted that she was being paid by Shandall fifty thousand pesos just to ruin our wedding. Unfortunately, she did not succeed.” Atty. Yhera said with a frown. She could not comprehend how a woman of intelligence, education, and wealth could do such a nasty thing. Surprised, Seigfred looked at his wife shaking his head. “I never thought Shandall could do that.” “So, I thought too. I was actually thinking, it might be the camp of Conrad Zhang, to make me devastated again, and hence, I could not be able to focus on handling your case against him,” Atty. Yhera said with disbelief also. “

IEverybody became silent as they all looked at the young, pretty woman, with a little bit protruding tummy.“Mr. Seigfred Lee, this baby is yours. You impregnated me and now you are marrying someone else?” the wedding intruder said aloud causing commotion inside the church. The Priest looked at Seigfred with an inquisitive look.Making a deep breath, Seigfred looked back at the priest. “Don’t believe in this lie, Father. For a moment, I will handle this,” Seigfred said calmly. He faced their wedding intruder, while Atty. Yhera was just calmly standing eyeing the woman with an unfathomable expression.“Who are you woman and why are you trying to ruin our wedding?” Seigfred asked in his authoritative voice.The woman lifted his chin and replied, “Charmaine Solver. We had a one-night stand!”Seigfred’s eyes squinted, “I do not have

Yhera is already wearing her bridal gown, which made her look more stunning plus her make-up and curled hair, giving her a very elegant look.She looked at herself in the mirror and a happy smile crept from her lips reaching out to her eyes. She looked like an excited and so much in love bride, which is actually the truth.“Atty. Yhera, you look so lovely, elegant, and absolutely stunning. I am sure, Mr. Seigfred will not leave his eyes from you once he saw you, walked down the aisle,” the beautician said admiringly.“Thank you,” Atty. Yhera answered sincerely and smilingly.

IWith a furrowed forehead and surprised expression, Seigfred looked at the woman in front of him. What on earth brought her here today? He thought, wondering.“Hello, Mr. Seigfred Yee. Are you surprised?” the woman said in her most alluring smile. She is wearing an all-black, above-the-knee, sleeveless, fitted dress partnered with red stiletto heels. The dress gave justice to her curvaceous body and big enough breasts.“Ms. Shandall, what are you doing here?” Still furrowing, Seigfred asked.“Oh, I just learned what happened to Atty. Yhera. I brought some fruits for her, fresh from our farm in Laguna and of course two of my books that she can read while confined in her bed,” Shandall replied smilingly as she put on his round coffee table the basket of fruits with a bouquet of white roses.Seigfred slowly smiled. “Thank you Ms. Shandall. Have a seat please,” he said as she pointed to her the chair in

I"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Mommy Lily stood up and asked with worry on her face."We already removed the bullet in her shoulder, just an inch away from her heart. She is still lucky. We need blood for her because she lost a lot already. Anyone with A+ type of blood in the family?" The head doctor said."I am Doctor," Mommy Lily readily replied."Then please come with us Ma'am," the Doctor said with relief in his expression.The operation and blood transfusion went well and eventually Atty. Yhera was moved out of the operation room.Seigfred stayed beside Atty. Yhera. He would only leave the hospital if there are urgent things to do in his office. He works online most of the time while inside his fiancee's hospital suite.While looking at his sleeping fiancee, Seigfred smiled as he remembered how they have met and how things flourished for both of them. She was so distant and cold trying for no one to penetrate her heart but he wa

Yhera quickly got out of their car to check.What they saw is a man in full black attire, with a full-face helmet riding on a big black motorbike. Before they could further move, the man took a gun and shot the two back wheels of Seigfred’s car. The gun was with a silencer. He then pointed his gun to Atty. Yhera. Before Seigfred could move he heard his fiancee’s scream and saw her, slowly fell to the ground.At that point, the man in the motorbike already fled fast.“Yheraaaa!!!” Seigfred shouted in shock as he ran towards his fiancee on the other side of the car. Yhera was almost lifeless when he took her into his arms and ran shouting for help.A white SUV stopped in front of them and immediately the driver got out and helped Seigfred put Yhera in the back seat

IDuring lunchtime, Shandall was extra attentive to Buddy and even introduced him to Jethross, to which Buddy just laughed.“Shandall, you don’t need to introduced Jethross to us, we know him well,” Buddy said while nodding at Jethross.“Ahh, yeah, I remembered. Jethross and Atty. Yhera has been in a relationship for more than two years and they were even about to be married? Right Jethross?” Shandall asked Jethross, as if she just suddenly thought about it. The truth was, she learned about the love story between Jethross and Atty. Yhera, when she invited Jethross to attend her book launching and mentioned that she has special guests, the man that she rescued from death, Jethross asked who and was shocked to know that she was talking about Seigfred Yee.

Yhera smiled in return as she gently held Seigfred’s hand.“Hi, Yher and Seigfred. I am fine. Just bought something. Are you here for shopping too?” Jethross asked, his eyes fixed on Atty. Yhera.“Actually, we attended a friend’s book launching and signing at that bookstore.” Atty.
