Forgotten Legacy : Useless Son-in-law to Corporate Tycoon Ch-158. Insider information
Noah sat patiently and listened through the entire question of the person calmly, gesturing for guards to stay at their places until he himself commanded otherwise.It was a middle aged man, probably in his late forties, with thinning salt- and- pepper hair which had been slicked back like it had been casted into place. His brown suit looked slightly outdated, with the fabric pulling awkwardly at the shoulders. An olive green tie was hanging around his wrinkled neck.Once the person was done and the entire hall was staring at Noah expectantly, he spoke in a perfectly composed tone;“Okay! I heard your question. But don't you think it is a very big allegation in the disguise of an unbiased question.”The man smirked a little, before leaning forward again. “No! It is not just an allegation. It is just a question and–”“And what? Your speculation, that I have somehow killed my own cousin who was just like a brother to me?”Noah interrupted him once again, seeing that he was not ready t

Things at the conference were going too well, to believe that they were being monitored by Noah. For someone who didn't know him, it was hard to believe that he was new to the limelight– someone who didn't have any exposure to the media, or any media training for that matter.The success of the press conference made Warner so happy that he couldn't stop gushing over Noah. It was safe to say that he wouldn't be getting over this milestone any time soon. He had insisted that a livestream be set up in his hospital suite and refused to skip even a single second, though both Noah and Otis had asked him not to watch the press conference because of their different concerns. Noah didn't want his grandpa to take on any more tension during the press conference, while Otis didn't want to get caught by the experienced eyes of his step dad, knowing that it would not take him too long to figure out that he had already planted a reporter there, to bring everything crashing down with a single blow.

Otis left the hospital, thanking his stars and Viola in his mind. And why not, it was her master plan because of which he could get an escape from that environment, where he was feeling suffocated with anger and frustration after hearing that old man rave about his uncivilized grandson, when he hadn't even conquered the first step yet.He was feeling like history was repeating itself all over again.It was the same situation that he had faced– only, in place of Noah, his father, Rick, used to be Otis' competitor.He was just a born genius in the field of business– just like Noah the Great– and had always excelled in all areas of business, leaving no space for him at all… and what had his step dad done then?Back then, Warner had simply asked Otis to start a new business in his name, saying that he would invest in his idea and would support him in every step. What a great idea, acting as if Otis didn't know why he has been saying all of this!He was smart enough to know that in the nam
Forgotten Legacy : Useless Son-in-law to Corporate Tycoon Ch-161. Funeral
Liam Kingsley’s funeral ceremony was a private and intimate gathering, organized in one of the farmhouses located on a small hilltop on the Edencrest Estate itself. Since there were no remains to bury, there was a symbolic black casket placed in the center, covered in fine blue velvet drapings holding the Kingsley family's crest on one side. The venue had been prepared in a refined manner for the somber occasion, with cream and gray silk drapes covering the windows. In the hall, and especially around the casket, were clusters of Liam's favorite flowers— rare white orchids, Juliet roses and blue hydrangeas imported from the gardens of France. A framed photograph of Liam was placed beside the casket, taken just a few years ago. He was smiling in the picture, with incense sticks burning in front of the frame.Liam looked strikingly like his father, his square jawline mirroring Otis', while he had Viola's eyes and smile.The five remaining members of the main branch of the Kingsley fam

On hearing the mention of their business losses which was enveloped in the greeting, the Frosts exchanged a look, while Viola went on with her explanation, which was only making her initial taunts seem more cold and biting. “I mean it doesn't take long for the rumors to spread in the business community, and the news of your upcoming bankruptcy has already caught on…”She chuckled, bringing her hand to her lips to appear demure while spitting venom from her tongue.“And yet! You two still manage to show up here just to give your condolences to us, how wonderful! I should be really thankful for you, because right now, you also deserve our condolences.”Her venomous tone hit everyone's ears, but still, nobody could object to her words or claim directly that she was misbehaving with them.Even though every single word that was coming out of her mouth was dipped in the deadliest poison of the world, her voice was covered in a layer of sweetness that was overwhelming everyone's senses with

Noah's voice in the background made everyone present there feel a slight jolt of electricity in their spine, but due to different reasons.Viola and Otis felt a sudden shock of realization since they weren't aware about how long he had been standing there and how much he had heard from their mouths. While at the same time, Olivia and David felt this way because of their fear that now, he was definitely going to kick them out because of the behavior they had kept towards him.In fact, they weren't just fearing about it; they were indeed sure about this possibility. Viola was being rude to them just because they had almost gone bankrupt, but she was probably treating them the way they had treated her nephew.But Noah… Noah was always on the receiving end of their kicks and abuses, the one whom they had always treated as a scapegoat and a punching bag! Then could they even think that he was going to spare them? Probably, that's what karma is– it always strikes back.At one time, they u

Olivia and David were completely shocked on hearing Eliana's words and seeing her confidence level soaring with the highest clouds in the sky. She was confident enough while leaving the house with Noah, which was the shock of a lifetime for them; but in spite of everything, they had never imagined that she would become this bold, too.Noah's company had completely changed her… in fact, the Noah they had seen today was also completely different.He wasn't just dressed nicely in the perfect indicators of luxury, but he was looking like a completely new person.A person with perfection, with grace– he possessed everything that the men of this world would ever desire to have in their lives, and at the same time, he was the ideal man of every woman's dreams.Olivia wanted to say something in reply to Eliana's cutting remarks, but David gestured to her to stay quiet and looked at Eliana before opening his mouth.“Ellie! Do you really think that money is all we care about–”“Yes, I do. Beca

A few days had passed, and everything had finally started to fall back into place. Noah had taken the reins of the family business perfectly and smoothly into his hands. On the other side, Warner had started to enjoy the days of his retirement, finally deciding to quit the mourning period and pick up the hobbies he liked to keep himself busy with. Eliana had finally started going back to her office; now that her crisis with funding had been solved, things at Red Swan Entertainment were also coming back to their usual pace. Just when things had started to look peaceful around the house and everyone finally seemed to be forgetting the pain their family had gone through, Otis decided that it was time he reopened the wound.After all, things were starting to appear too good to be true, and Otis wanted to scratch the healing wound to make it bleed once again, making them feel the pain he had once gone through.He would make them suffer through the pain that he had suffered in the past,

Ch-205. Our legacy
Noah was sitting in the garden, trying desperately to calm himself as he had been feeling a little uneasy because of the way things had unfolded.He had spent most of his life away from home, this is why, he knew the value of family. He had also met several people who were dark to the very core, but for some reason, he thought that Liam was different…Noah had a feeling that everything he had been doing so far, was just because something that he thought would always remain his, had been snatched from him in the middle of all the succession drama… and especially because of Noah himself.So it was a logical thing that he hated him from the core of his heart… but he had also seen his affection towards their grandpa. He was lost in his thoughts, staring off into the distance… when he noticed some disturbance near the ivy vines, lurking by the southernmost boundary of the garden.He rose from his seat and started walking towards the boundary; and Ben snapped to attention.He had been stan

Ch-204. Killed him !!
“Killed him? Dad!! You are saying you killed him… wasn't his death an accident? Then how is it possible that you are the reason behind–”Liam didn't even realize that he had started to interrogate his father under the effect of his anxiety on hearing the last words spoken by him.Till now, he had been thinking that they were standing on the right side of the situation as well as the history that was yet to be written. He really believed that they were the oppressed ones who had always been discriminated against, trying to fight for their rights which had unjustly been snatched from them.But after hearing his father's nonchalant response, he wasn't able to think straight anymore. He was ready to go to any extent to get what really belonged to him, but killing someone was something he could never imagine doing… nor was he able to digest the fact that his father was a murderer.But before he could have completed his statement, Otis interrupted his rambling. “Yes! It was an accident, a

Sabreena hesitated in the doorway, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she clutched a large bouquet of white lilies. She took a deep breath before stepping into the living room, her eyes darting around nervously and scanning the faces: her brother was looking at her with confusion, while Olivia’s gaze was sharp, Eliana’s gently curious, and Noah was stoic and calm; although his calm demeanor wasn't exactly helpful in taming her anxiety.Finally, with a forced smile, she spoke up. “Oh, come on, Olivia…” She started awkwardly, the bouquet trembling slightly in her hands. “How long are you going to hold on to some… some small incident from ages ago? Why would I insult him? I… actually, I have come to thank No- I mean, Mr. Kingsley.”Eliana shot her mother an amused glance, while Noah remained silent, his face unreadable as Sabreena took a few steps forward, extending the bouquet of lilies towards him. Olivia crossed her arms and cut in sharply, “Well, I can’t exactly let it go

Liam threw down the glass vase which was placed on the side table in his room, sending it crashing to the floor, as soon as he noticed his parents trying to enter his room once again.It had been four days since his return- or to be honest, the rather rude way in which he had been thrown out, not just from the party but from the city itself. The security had unceremoniously dumped them on the first flight back to Edinburgh, without caring which class tickets were available. And apart from declaring in front of his parents that he had failed miserably, he hadn't given any specific details to his parents. Instead, he had locked himself in his room, boycotting everything: from eating properly to speaking to his parents.In fact, since last night, he had not even touched the food, even for once… and this was making both Otis and Viola more and more tense with every passing second.Even though they were aware that the deal had slipped out of Liam's hands, they were still trying to keep th

“What? Richard Jensen was there too?!” Eliana’s voice burst out in surprise from Noah's phone speaker, her lovely face filling the screen of their video call as she heard the entire story from his mouth. She leaned closer, her eyes wide with disbelief, while Noah glanced into the screen as he replied while preparing to go to bed. “Oh yeah! And he had plenty to say against me at first, calling me a scammer and whatnot. But as soon as Grandpa Omar and Norm showed up, he went quiet and practically disappeared into the crowd, fearing for his own safety.”Eliana burst into laughter, covering her mouth. “After what happened last time, I can’t believe he had the nerve to show up and then also splash mud on you! I mean, did he get the guts?”Noah chuckled. “Apparently, he bribed the event organizers for an invitation. And I guess he was really feeling frustrated after our last meeting, and thinking that he had nothing more to lose now, just vented out all his anger. His little scam was

“I understand, Grandpa Omar, that you’re not much of a drinker.”Noah continued with a steady voice, meeting some raised eyebrows from the people gathered around there. He continued, knowing that his words were surely having some effect, since Norm and Omar were looking at him with curiosity now, instead of suspicion. “I am also aware that you, Grandfather Norm and my grandfather have planned to visit Edencrest Estate together after the signing of the deal, and finally share the bottle of wine purchased so long ago. That is why I have ensured that the other bottle has safely been delivered at your residence, as the homage to that promise.”He glanced at the broken necklace on the floor, and everyone else's eyes followed; to the place where Sienna had thrown it after snapping the string and causing the pearls to scatter in all directions. “And I apologize for the condition of the necklace. It was a vintage heirloom, and though it was meant to be my gift to Eleanor, I shall make sure

Ch- 199. The wine bottle
Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Noah blinked before responding. “Of course,” he said smoothly. “I am happy to answer any questions you might have to help you see that I’m speaking the truth.”Blaine folded his arms, looking Noah up and down, an expression of irritation on his face. Clearly, he thought it was nothing more than a waste of his time to entertain him, but he had no other choice. “Fine! Then show me what you have brought as a gift for my niece. If you are truly the heir of the Kingsleys, you would know better than to show up empty handed, wouldn’t you?”Noah inclined his head, unbothered by Blaine’s mocking tone. “Certainly, uncle. I’ll show you the gifts I have brought.” Turning slightly, he motioned to one of his guards, who stepped forward, handing him a wine bottle wrapped in elegant packaging. Noah held it, his fingers lightly wrapping around the bottle— the vintage wine he had personally unearthed that morning.He extended the bottle toward Blaine. “This

Sienna’s eyes narrowed with suspicion as she looked at the scene in front of her. Just this morning, this idiot Noah had been roaming around the city, trying to get access into a high- end bank.And now, he was supposedly surrounded by an army of guards? Something was really fishy…Just then, her eyes landed on the man at the front of the group, and recognition flashed in her eyes. She clenched her fists, it was him! The same gullible bodyguard from the bank earlier that morning; the one whom she had already fed lots of half- truths and mostly lies about Noah, painting him as a dangerous criminal.She had tried to make sure that he wouldn't slip away by any means, but he had. And now she knows how! Feeling a pang of betrayal and anger, she couldn't hold herself back from commenting;“Oh! I see, he has managed to fool you all too! And now you’re siding with him?” Her laugh was bitter, remembering the way this guard had promised her that he would call the police on Noah and that the

Ch-197. Where is the invitation
At the time when Noah had entered the venue, hardly anyone had noticed him in the middle of VIP guests, each more prestigious than the last.As long as he had an invite and the security had allowed him in, only a fool would waste their time questioning a nobody instead of making the most of this opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the most important people in the world. However, as Liam and Sienna started to mock and humiliate Noah out loud in the open, a crowd slowly started to form around them.The guests started to point him out specifically, murmuring about the possibility of him being a con man and still dodging the security arrangements at this venue.Meanwhile, Noah was standing at his place, completely unfazed by their speculations and instead maintained his calm with a smile that didn't even budge for a single moment.“And do you mind telling me, when will she become your wife? Because as far as I know, my sister in law was already married to someone else. So I'm assum
