Forgotten Legacy : Useless Son-in-law to Corporate Tycoon Ch-21 Crash
Eliana woke up to the incessant ringing of her phone, buzzing somewhere around herself. She tried to pat the bed with her arms, trying to look for it, but exhaustion soon took over and she was pulled back into the throes of sleep. After the third ring managed to break her sleep, she finally cracked one eye open and groggily grabbed her phone from the bedside table, pressing it to her ear.“Hello?”“Eliana, where are you? We had an early morning meeting today, did you forget?”Oh shit… shit shit! Eliana sat up quickly, the sudden movement making her head spin. “Yes, yes I remember. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”She responded in a measured voice and then ended the call abruptly, tossing her phone against her pillow. She sat there for a moment, her head in her hands, feeling the weight of exhaustion; her head felt too heavy and her eyes were swollen because of the excessive crying… She couldn't even remember when she had fallen asleep while crying. Dragging herself out of bed, sh

Eliana was startled by the crashing sound of the tumbler hitting the floor, and Olivia's shoulders also jumped slightly, but Noah didn't even flinch. He calmly turned around, surveyed the damage, and said, "If you wanted fresh juice, you could have just said that. Anyway, I'll bring you some right now."Olivia huffed, her face twisting in disdain. "Huh! Don't act like you're so obedient that you'll obey every single word I say! Or you would have freed my daughter from this torture and run away to your fucking village long ago! Now, what are you staring at me for? It's not like I said something wrong, so are you accusing me right now?”Noah's expression didn't change, and without a word, he swiftly went into the kitchen. Eliana watched him, her heart aching. She knew how hard it must be for him to keep his composure. But just a few moments later, he returned, carrying a plate with three oranges sliced in half, another empty plate, a glass tumbler, and a hand juicer. He placed ever

Eliana followed Noah outside, only to hear her father going off on him this time;“Eggs! I wasn’t in the mood for eggs today! Why can't you make something else, is that all you know how to make?” He barked, slamming his plate down on the table. “I can’t believe it! The breadwinner of this house can’t even get a meal of his liking! Is that too much to ask?”Just then, Olivia, who had been watching with a look of enjoyment, leaned towards her husband and said;“Oh dear, please don't be so angry, it's not good for your health! And speaking of breadwinners, I guess our poor son-in-law is feeling inferior to his wife now. That’s why he’s supposedly gotten a job for himself, did you know?”David smirked. “Ha! Don't believe his words, Olivia, he might be lying! It’s just a generous person like me who gave an ignorant villager like him a golden opportunity to come to the city and even allowed him to join the family. Otherwise, who in their right mind would recruit him? But trust me, if I h

As Noah rushed out of the Redford Villa, Eliana’s image was still fresh in his mind. He checked his phone to find out whose call he had missed, when his mind again flashed back to the way she had stood up for him, the way she had confronted him in the kitchen… he felt a smile tugging at his lips. Maybe, just maybe, her heart was finally softening towards him. However, the smile was also accompanied by a heavy feeling in his chest. He suddenly felt extremely guilty for hiding the truth from Eliana, even though he had planned all this himself.When he had first signed the agreement in uncle Stuart’s car… he had thought it would be best to keep her away from all this mess. And the farther she would be from the cutthroat competition for power in his family, the happier and safer she would be. But things seemed so complicated in just one day… he had never imagined she would be so concerned about him! He had just assumed that, like everyone else, she would be happy to get the money– esp

Samantha tried to explain to the man, her voice wavering slightly, "Sir, the chairman asked me to—"But the man snapped again, cutting her off. "Did he specifically ask you to entertain this idiot in his office during working hours? No, right? Then how the hell can you be so careless? I can understand that the security agency is new, but I honestly expected better from you, Samantha!”"But sir, this isn't the first time this gentleman is here–”"I don't know about that! But tell me one thing, does this man, in any way, look suitable enough to be hired as a janitor here? Let alone enter into the chairman's office and sit on his own chair?Just put that little brain of yours to some good use, will you? Samantha, remember! You are being paid by the company, not out of Mr. Dwayne's personal pockets that you would need to show respect to his cheap relatives! Understand? Now leave!"Samantha didn't say anything more. She just bowed slightly in Noah's direction and mouthed a “sorry.” Noah a

Noah's POV:I was aware that people generally treat others according to their attire, and it is a shallow but undeniable truth… no matter which strata of society you belong to. That's why I had picked out a fresh pair of formal wear suitable for the office. Crisp shirt, polished shoes, the works…But then, circumstances had changed rapidly this morning, and I had to step out in these dirty clothes to make sure I wasn’t late to the office. It wasn't like clothes were torn, either; in fact, they were new. There were just a few splashes of juice from the chaos at breakfast. If the receptionist had stopped me, I would have understood her concern. But this manager... he was really taking it upon himself to scrutinize me like he was in-charge of conducting uniform checks. His attitude almost made me laugh, until he took it too far with his arrogance and disrespect. It was clear he enjoyed this little power trip; it is one thing to maintain security, and it’s another to humiliate someone

Noah's POV :As soon as I questioned him, I noticed uncle Stuart getting a little tense. There were some droplets of sweat on his forehead, which he wiped off very quickly before he cleared his throat and started speaking again. “I am sorry, young master! I am sorry that I wasn't able to help you back then. I have always known that you were innocent, but as a loyal servant of your grandfather, I used to accompany him on his overseas travels and wasn't there to help you. But I assure you, this won't be the case ever again, your uncle has finally come to realize his mistake and is ready to take you in–”I scoffed at the thought, even though I didn't mean to interrupt him. “Take me in ? Really, you are telling me that I should come back to the Edencrest Estate because my uncle is ready to take me in? So now he is trying to prove how generous he is, to have forgiven and forgotten everything and finally have mercy on me! When in reality, I was the one who was wronged and thrown out of h

Noah stepped out of the elevator with Samantha, who had been sent to escort him outside since William Dwayne was still busy with the damage control and uncle Stuart had returned to the chairman's office, probably to berate them some more.But one thing was clear, after the recent drama with the production manager, the meeting would certainly have to be postponed; and so, he could leave the Unity One Tower for now. “Should I ask the driver to drop you off somewhere, sir?”Noah's thoughts came to a stop as Samantha asked him a question, and he realized that they had walked outside the building now.“Uh, no. No thank you, I have a personal conveyance, but thank you for the offer.”“As you say, sir. Goodbye, sir, and I hope you have a good day.”But what Noah couldn't tell her, was the fact that he himself didn't know where he was supposed to go first, as he was still thinking about what to do next.There were a lot of things on his plate, plenty of things to be done which were all fight

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

“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
