RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 157
Ophelia’s voice was filled with exaggerated anger as she reported the situation to her husband, Theodore. “Theodore, I want you to do something about Harold Welsh! He refused to obey my orders to throw some lowlifes that disrespected our family out. He even dared threaten to take action against me!”“Harold Welsh dares to do that?!” Theodore replied in a sharp tone. “I just landed in Wibston. I’ll be at the estate in five minutes. He’ll get to know how ruthless I can be!”Ophelia’s expression morphed into malicious smugness as she stared at Adrian and Harold. “Yes, they need to know not to mess with us Blackwells,” she repeated her husband’s words in a voice she believed was intimidating.The call disconnected a few seconds later, and Ophelia’s lips twitched as her expression became haughty. “My husband’s on his way. Prepare to be sorry.”Anita fiddled with her fingers, her brows knitting at Ophelia’s words. Could they really handle the anger of Theodore Blackwell?Should they just a

“What?!” Ophelia blurted out, her eyes widening significantly. “H-how is that possible? I just met these people yesterday, and they don’t look like they can ever be affiliated with the young master of the young family.”Theodore, who was also taken aback by Jonah’s revelation, let out a nervous laugh as he glanced towards Jonah. “Mr. Leigh, you might be mistaken. They,” he gestured between Adrian and Anita, “don’t really look like—”“Are you trying to insinuate that I’m lying, or that the young master made a mistake by choosing them to live in his mansion?” Jonah cut Theodore off, his usually unreadable expression, now flickering with barely restrained anger. “It seems you both need to be taught a serious lesson,” he continued. “so you’d know never to mess with anyone affiliated with the Young family!”Theodore’s eyes grew wide in panic. He knew that someone like Jonah would never take his threats lightly, so he rushed over to him, his hands jammed together in a pleading gesture. “P

Adrian pulled over in the very spacious parking lot of the Alpha group a few minutes later, and he and Anita stepped out of the car.Anita’s eyes widened as she took in the skyscraper which towered above the city’s skyline. The glass windows that gleamed under the reflection of the sunlight also added to the sophisticated appeal of the building. Even Adrian couldn’t help but admire the beautiful structure. The imposing structure just solidified the fact that it was indeed the largest building in the whole of Wibston.Anita started to grow nervous the more she looked at the building as she was reminded of how formidable and unattainable the Alpha group was. She simply hoped that her interview with the company would be successful enough for her to bag a contract.“Here you go,” Adrian’s voice brought her out of her thoughts, and she turned to see him extending her car keys towards her.She collected it from him with a smile and he added, “If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call m

The receptionist shifted on her seat, feeling uncomfortable at Nathan’s intense gaze on her. Reluctantly, she picked up the telephone and put a call across to Rhea.“Miss. Smith, there’s someone here to see you, he goes by the name, Nathan Davies,” The receptionist informed Rhea as soon as the call connected. “Do you have an appointment with him?”Rhea’s voice was highly professional on the other end of the line as she replied, “I’m not expecting anyone by that name. The only person I have an appointment with this morning is a lady named Anita Davies. She should be here any moment from now, kindly inform me if she arrives.”The receptionist's brows furrowed as her eyes flickered to Nathan who was still leaning smugly against the counter. She then saw Anita standing awkwardly in the middle of the receptionist and her eyes narrowed thoughtfully. Could she be Anita Davies?She brought the telephone down from her ear and placed a hand over the receiver as she angled her gaze towards Anit

Rhea’s anger kindled at Nathan’s entitled words, but she tried to control herself by taking a deep breath. “You don’t possess the qualities of someone who deserves a contract with us,” she countered firmly. “You’re impulsive, entitled and clearly lazy. There’s no need to banter words with someone like you.”She turned to the receptionist who straightened up immediately and bowed in respect.Rhea barely acknowledged the receptionist’s gesture as she relayed her order. “Call up the security officials and have them bundle this insolent man out of here. He isn’t allowed to step foot into this company from here on out.”The receptionist nodded instantly and swiftly grabbed the telephone on her desk and made the necessary phone call.Nathan’s face flushed red and he was gripped with embarrassment and disbelief at Rhea’s words. The reality of what was really happening began to dawn on him, and his body was gripped with more panic as he realized that he was about to lose out on a contact w

Anita and Rhea got into Rhea’s office and Anita’s lips parted as she took in its modern, yet minimalist interior. The walls were a pastel white color and the maple colored furniture complimented it, adding to the sophisticated appearance of the office.Her gaze was then drawn to the ceiling-to-floor window that dominated the entirety of one wall, offering a breathtaking view of the city’s skyline. Rhea’s office definitely looked like it belonged on the front cover of an architectural digest magazine. Rhea noticed Anita gawking at her office and smiled knowingly. That was the same reaction she always got from anyone who came into her office.“Please have a seat,” she offered, pulling Anita from her reverie as she gestured towards the plush leather chair facing her rich, maple colored desk. Anita smiled sheepishly as she stopped gawking and took a seat on the chair opposite Rhea. Rhea retrieved a stack of papers from the drawer of her desk and placed them on top of the desk.“Here ar

While Adrian sipped his coffee as he was deep in thought, his phone rang again and he kept the mug down before picking the phone up.Glancing at the caller ID, he saw that it was a private number, pinching his brows together, he reluctantly picked up the call.“Hello?” He answered in a tense but curt voice, and a respectful voice came in from the other end.“Good day, young master. I’m one of the bodyguards at Fortgate security services. I have some information for you.” The pinch in Adrian’s brows smoothed out as he understood why the number had been tagged private. It was a security measure the people at Fortgate security used to keep themselves untraceable.“Alright,” he replied to the bodyguard. “What information do you have for me?”The sound of throat clearing could be heard before the bodyguard spoke. “I’m currently with one of those thugs you assigned to keep an eye on Liam Muller, and report any suspicious behavior of his to you.”Adrian nodded, remembering that night at the

Blaze and his three other counterparts arrived at a very large and desolated house, and one of them carried an unconscious Irene towards a chair that was already reserved for her.The man carrying Irene set her down on the chair and used zip ties to tie each of her wrist to each of the chair’s arms, and then tied her legs together at the ankles.During this process, Irene stirred awake, and she blinked a few times to get accustomed to her surroundings, once she did, she gasped, startled to discover she had being tied down to a chair.“W-what is this?” Irene stammered in a terrified voice. “Please let me go! I just got discharged from the hospital some days ago, and I’m still recovering from my illness! Please don’t do this!”Blaze’s arms were folded as he watched her struggle with her restraints, desperate to break free. He tilted his head for a moment before taking a step towards her.“You don’t need to worry, ma’am,” Blaze began calmly, as though he was trying to pacify a child. “No

Henry and Evelyn froze like deers caught in headlights as Adrian’s voice echoed throughout the hall. All eyes turned to them, and in that moment, they wished the ground would open up and swallow them whole. Evelyn was the first to regain her composure, and she instantly replied with a nervous chuckle. “Yes…but the thing is…” She trailed off as she scrambled for an excuse to give, and then it hit her. She quickly jabbed Henry’s stomach with her elbow, and the moment he winced, she wrapped an arm around his shoulder. “Henry suddenly developed a stomach upset!” She announced dramatically. “I need to take him to the hospital right away.” Henry immediately caught up to her plan and clutched onto his stomach, feigning more pained groans. “Ouch…it hurts.” Adrian cocked a brow as he instantly saw through their lies, and luckily for him, he was already two steps ahead. “That’s too bad,” he smacked his teeth in feigned sympathy. But then his expression lit up. “Fortunately, we have a

The hall was thrown into a panic-filled frenzy as Natalie pulled the trigger, and everyone’s heart lodged in their mouths as they dreaded what they’d see.As soon as the gun fired, Adrian stepped in front of Anita, completely shielding her.The world around him blurred as a sudden feeling overtook him and he saw the bullet moving in slow motion.His hand instinctively shot out and before he could even process it, the bullet got trapped between his fingers.The hot metal of the bullet would have seared the hand of an ordinary human, but Adrian was far from ordinary. The moment he realized he had caught the bullet, the world around him returned to normal.Natalie’s eyes widened in disbelief. “H-How..?” The words fell from her lips, but she didn’t complete them as she pulled the trigger again, with more force this time.Luckily for her, she had been wise enough to load the gun with more than one bullet.Adrian saw the second bullet coming and in one swift motion, he caught it with his o

As soon as Adrian made the announcement, all eyes turned to Anita, who looked completely stunned that the spotlight was on her.Adrian extended his hand toward her, a charming smile gracing his lips. “Come, Anita. Come to me.”Anita did her best to maintain a composed smile, hiding her unease as she gracefully approached Adrian.Regina and Vincent followed closely behind, their expressions equally confused.Anita was endowed in a shimmering, diamond studded powder-blue gown which had a thigh-high slit that revealed glimpses of her slender, toned legs as she walked.Her brown hair was styled in bouncy waves, and her beautiful features became more striking with the minimal makeup she had on.The guests all let out collective gasps as the spotlight followed her.Her flawless face, luscious hair, and the stunning dress made her seem like she had descended straight from heaven. Adrian was captivated by her radiating beauty, and couldn’t stop smiling.When Anita finally reached him and pla

The hug between Regina and Adrian lasted for a few seconds before Regina pulled back, and all the while Adrian’s eyes protruded from their sockets.He couldn’t just hide his shock.Regina’s hands lingered on his arms as she stared at him with affection. “I never thought I'd say this,” she admitted with a chuckle. “But I’m very grateful to you. I misjudged you, and I apologize for ever underestimating you.”It took Adrian a moment to regain his composure, and when he did, he offered Regina a warm smile. “It’s fine, mother-in-law. I’m just glad I’ve finally earned your approval.”Regina nodded. “I’m glad too. I hope this marks a new beginning between us moving forward.”And with that, Anita and her father joined in the hug to seal the emotional moment of reconnection and reconciliation.>>>>>The Engagement Day…The party was already in swing, although the main event hadn’t yet begun because Anita hadn't yet arrived.Dignitaries from all over Wibston were gathered in the grandiose hal

Anita’s eyes widened as her legs twitched again…and again. “Oh my God!” Her breath hitched as she regained sensation in her limbs. “I can feel my legs! I can feel my legs!”Regina and Vincent froze, their gazes gluing to her trembling limbs in pure disbelief.“You can feel your legs?” Regina echoed shakily. Anita nodded frantically as her fingers dug into the sofa while her legs kept twitching uncontrollably. When Adrian felt like he had transferred enough energy to Anita’s spine, he let go of her hand.A deep breath escaped his mouth as he felt the drain of energy from his body. His vision blurred for a moment before stabilizing, and when he finally looked at Anita, she was staring at him in awe.“How do you feel now?” He asked in a slightly hoarse voice.Anita let out an incredulous laugh. “My legs…I can feel them.” Her voice sounded very excited. “I can even move my toes. Look…”She demonstrated her words by wiggling them, her eyes shining with childlike wonder. “Good.” Adrian
CHAPTER 295
Adrian maintained a serious expression as he met Anita’s confused gaze. “I have…abilities,” he confessed.Anita blinked, and she removed her hands from Adrian’s grip. “What?” Adrian inhaled and continued. “After coming in contact with the mystic scroll of an ancient Chinese grandmaster, I gained martial arts and healing abilities. I want to help you walk again, if you’ll let me.”There was a brief silence before Anita’s face contorted in deeper confusion. “This doesn’t make sense. How can a scroll give you abilities?”“Do you think we’re fools or something?” Regina scoffed from behind Adrian. “I thought you had changed from your slimy ways, but it seems I overestimated you.”“I have to agree with my wife on this one, son,” Vincent added with a frown. “Making a joke out of Anita’s condition is highly insensitive. I expected better from you.”Anita’s eyes glistened as she stared at Adrian with hurt written all over her face. “I can’t believe you would play with my feelings like this?
CHAPTER 294
The next day, Anita and Adrian sat in their living room at the Glorious Garden Estate, waiting for Anita’s parents to arrive.Anita’s heart pounded and she placed a hand on her chest, taking in deep breaths in a bid to calm it.Adrian noticed her anxiousness and squeezed her hand, though his was a bit sweaty. Today wasn’t just about Anita’s pregnancy revelation, it was also the day he’d propose to her and reveal his abilities. He tried his best to keep himself calm, despite how almost impossible it seemed.The moment Anita saw Regina and Vincent coming down the stairs, her nerves skyrocketed and she tightened her hand around his.“Breathe, Anita. It’ll all go smoothly,” Adrian whispered to her, though it felt more like he was assuring himself.Regina’s gaze landed on them the moment she reached the foot of the stairs, and her steps slowed as she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.“What’s going on?” She voiced out as her eyes alternated between their awkward expressions. Vincent, on th

The sales lady paused in her tracks at Evelyn’s words, and her eyes nervously darted to Adrian, unsure of what to do. “Sir…”“Ignore her,” Adrian interjected in an indifferent tone. “Just get me the ring. Whatever the price is, I’ll pay.”The saleslady nodded and was about to take another step forward when Evelyn dragged her back by the collar. You dare ignore me?!” Evelyn hissed with her hands raised in a bid to slap the lady, but Adrian quickly intercepted the hit by catching her wrist mid-air.He flung it back to her side, and gave her a hard stare. “Don’t lay your hand on her again. You have no right to.”The last shred of control in Henry snapped and he lunged at Adrian, grabbing him by the collar.“How dare you lay your filthy hands on my girlfriend!” He spat, his eyes shooting lasers at Adrian’s face. “It seems you must be seeking death!”Adrian’s gaze flickered down to Henry’s hand fisting his collar, then back up to meet his glare. “You have exactly five seconds to get your
CHAPTER 292
Three days later…Anita was finally discharged from the hospital, and Adrian took her back to their house. There was another emotional reunion; this time between Anita and her father, Vincent, who had just returned from a spiritual center, where he had gone to pray for her speedy recovery. He wasn’t happy to see his daughter in a wheelchair, but was grateful she was alive nonetheless.Speaking of Anita’s condition, Adrian had tried to heal her back at the hospital, but his attempts had failed.He restlessly wondered why until Grandmaster Xu appeared to him in a dream-like trance and told him that his abilities would only work on Anita if she knew about them….and believed in them.Because to be healed, one had to believe.Therefore, Adrian came up with an elaborate plan to break the news to her.He would do it as part of the special birthday package he had organized for her. A package that included his proposal and the lavish engagement party he had promised her some weeks ago.Her a
