RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 27
Anita furrowed as she felt a headache coming on. Today was turning out to be one of the most stressful days of her life. “Mom, what on earth did you do to incite a debt of $83,000!” she scolded, her voice laced with exasperation. “I clearly told you not to not exceed $5,000. What do you mean Adrian has to take the blame and how did it bring about getting a divorce?”Regina flinched at the sharp tone of Anita’s voice. “Well,” she hesitated. “I accidentally ruined a dress worth $75,000 and I have to pay for it as well as damages of $8,000. Since your good-for-nothing husband can’t contribute a dime to help me out, then he should work for the store until he covers the amount of the debt or…he leaves you alone to marry someone capable.”“Work for the store?” Anita reiterated. “Do you even hear yourself, Mom? You’re the one who messed up, so why should he take the blame? I can’t believe you right now!”“B-but…he’s your husband.” Regina sputtered defensively. “It’s his responsibility to loo

Anita had just stepped into Elegantè Couture when her gaze landed on her mother and Adrian standing with three other people in the dinner gown section. She inched closer towards them just in time to hear a woman dressed in designer clothes and heavy makeup speak. “You have to promise to get him divorced from your daughter today. Only then will Jamie settle your debts.”“Excuse me?” A heavy frown settled on her face as she walked closer to them. “And why will I divorce my husband?”Anita’s words cut through the air and every head turned to her direction. Tatiana’s face was filled with surprise at first then morphed into admiration. Jamie’s jaw fell slack and his mouth became dry as he gawked at Anita while Tiffany’s gaze held a bit of envy as she took in her beauty.Regina was the first to react as she rushed to hold Anita’s hand. “Annie, you’re here. Well, we were just talking about how it would be better for you to divorce Adrian and marry his step-brother instead.”Regaining her com

Adrian casually returned to the boutique after transferring the $300,000 to the store’s bank account and was inwardly counting down to Tatiana, Tiffany and Jamie’s humiliation. When he got closer to them, he spotted the look of disbelief on Jamie’s face. “That’s not possible. Try it again.” Jamie sputtered as he urged the shop attendant to initiate the payment with his card after it had declined the first time. Adrian’s lips tugged up, it looked like Doctor Arnold had already executed his orders. ‘Let the show begin’ he mused.“The payment declined again, sir.” The shop attendant said calmly and Jamie broke out in a cold sweat. What was happening? His card had never declined before.Noticing the nervous expression on Jamie’s face, Tiffany frowned. “Babe, what’s going on? Is there something wrong with your card?”“Uh…it’s probably a defect or something.” Jamie scratched the back of his neck. “Let me try making use of bank transfer.” He took out his phone and logged onto his bank app bu

The air in the boutique crackled with a silent tension for a moment before everyone broke out in murmurs and whispers. “This is absolutely humiliating for these people. I would cover my head in shame if I were them.” “Being banned from the most luxurious boutique in Wibston? That’s truly too unfortunate.The customers remarked and gradually continued with their shopping, no longer concerned with the drama.Adrian hadn’t been this entertained in a while. He loved the way the manager had put Tatiana, Tiffany and Jamie in their place. It was so satisfying to behold.Jamie looked like a deer caught in headlights. Not only had his reputation been damaged, but he had lost face in the eyes of his girlfriend and her mother.Tatiana and Tiffany couldn’t bear the weight of the embarrassment they were facing. It was just too much.“Helen, I won’t forget this.” Tatiana gritted out, her tone laced with an underlying promise as she, Tiffany and Jamie were escorted out of the boutique, each led by

The next morning, Adrian had just woken up when his phone buzzed with a phone call from Jonah. “Good morning, young master,” Jonah greeted in his usual formal tone.“Jonah?” Adrian rasped, still groggy from sleep. “Why are you calling me so early?”“I apologize for the disturbance, young master. I just wanted to inform you that you have a meeting this morning with Gary Miller, the chairman of Miller Haven Real Estate,” Jonah explained. “They’re the company which developed one of the estates under your ownership and the reason for the meeting is to discuss further development plans.”Adrian yawned as he slowly processed Jonah’s words. “That’s fine. Text me the location of the company and…next time, can you give me more than a two-hour notice for a meeting?”“Yes, young master.” Jonah cleared his throat to conceal his laughter. “I won’t repeat such mistake…next time.”“Mmm…” Adrian grunted, then remembered that today was Lloyd Davies' birthday party. “Jonah, I need a suit that would be

It wasn’t long before Gary Miller arrived at the scene, a pissed expression nestled on his face as he approached Harold. “Harold, is this the lad causing trouble?” he questioned, his gaze falling on Adrian.“Yes, Gary, my friend. He is the one.” Harold replied, a smirk forming on his lips. “He even claims he wants to speak with you.”Gary scrutinized Adrian for a bit before a thought struck him. He was supposed to meet with the young master of the Young family around this very time, but surely it couldn’t be Adrian or could it..?“Mr. Miller, sir, this bumpkin needs to be put in his place.” Barry chimed in, as he stood next to Harold, his hand still caressing his stinging cheek. “He even slapped me for doing my job.”Adrian on the other hand noticed the conflicted expression on Gary’s face. Which meant Gary was unsure as to how to handle the situation. He must be contemplating whether he was the Young’s heir he was scheduled to meet or not. To clear Gary’s doubts, Adrian instructed Jo

Adrian gazed at the man a moment longer. He was beginning to recall his face but he hadn’t yet remembered the exact place he had seen him. “Why do you look clueless?” the man spat, anger flickering in his eyes. “This is all because of you…” he gestured towards his bandaged arm. “I was beaten by the security guards at Capital Bank because of you.”“Oh my gosh, Flynn.” the lady next to the man gasped as her eyes narrowed disdainfully towards Adrian. “Is this the scum bag that got you beaten up and banned from the bank?”“Yes, Suzy, it is.” the man replied without looking away from Adrian. “Do you remember me now? I’m Flynn Holt.”The memory of that day at the bank immediately resurfaced and Adrian recalled Flynn. He was the pompous man he had bumped into on his way out of the bank.“I see the security did a number of you.” Adrian casually said, his gaze lingering on Flynn’s bandaged arm.“You really think you’re something special, aren’t you?” Suzy scowled. “Because of you, my boyfrien

The sales representative's hand trembled slightly as she held Adrian's card. This back and forth bidding had reached an outstanding level. She couldn’t believe that Adrian had dragged it out this far even after the new price reduction of the Dragon Ivy villas. But she was even more surprised that Flynn was arrogant enough to have fallen for it, she pitied him because he was in for a big shocker. Anyways, why was she bothered when she would be getting a commission that would set her up for life?She glanced at Adrian, silently seeking his approval and he subtly nodded for her to go ahead and close the bid while retrieving his card back from her. She turned back to Flynn, a professional smile playing on her lips. “Sold!” she chirped. “This bidding war has officially been closed. The villa is yours now, sir!”“As it should be.” Flynn tooted his horn, feeling extremely proud of himself. Wasting no further time, he handed his card over to the sales representative. She collected the card, s

Regina was rushed to a nearby ward by Adrian and Doctor Arnold instantly got to work reviving her. Adrian and Vincent stood at opposite ends of the room, each watching what Doctor Arnold was doing with rapt attention. Adrian was calm, though his heart raced as he relived the moment Regina fainted out of shock when she heard the disheartening news about Anita.A coma? He himself still struggled to believe that Anita had slipped into an indefinite coma. At that moment, his heart was filled with different kind of emotions which he wasn’t sure how to express.He simply clenched his jaw very tightly with his fists held to the front of his mouth as he waited for Regina to wake up.Vincent, on the other hand, was struggling to maintain a calm composure. He just got news that his daughter had slipped into coma and now his wife had fainted.That was more than one person could handle. The tears he had been holding back ever since he arrived at the hospital began streaming down his face. And

Adrian pushed the doors of the Life-mate hospital open, and headed straight for the intensive care unit without as much as an acknowledgment to the staff at the reception. He met Vincent, who had been out of Wibston on a trip, and Regina pacing in the waiting room of the intensive care unit and the panic and worry on their faces made his heart sink.The moment Regina saw him approaching, the panic on her face morphed into anger as she marched to him. And before he could say anything, her hand collided with his cheek in a slap that resounded through the waiting room.“What kind of husband are you?” She seethed, her irises flickering with rage. “Anita has been fighting for her life for the past one hour, and you dare to show up just now?!”Her voice rose a few notches as she grabbed the neckline of Adrian’s tee in her hands, completely disregarding the tiny patches of blood around it. “What were you doing that you couldn’t protect my daughter?” She spat again, her voice trembling with

Kai didn’t bother to pay any attention to Adrian as he tightened his grip on Blaze’s neck. The color on Blaze’s face transformed from red to ashen, and it became obvious that Kai was infusing some of his dark energy into him.Adrian’s anger rolled off him in waves, and his body seemed to glow a little more as he crossed the distance to Blaze in the speed of light. Before Kai could process what was happening, Adrian retracted his palm and slammed it against Kai’s chest with enough force to send him flying across the ring and landing on the ground with a thundering crash.Blaze fell to the ground after Kai released him and he wheezed as he tried to catch his breath. The whole arena was silent at this point, as no one dared to utter a word, not even an intake of breath.Adrian walked up to Blaze and extended a hand towards him. “I’ll take it up from here, Blaze. You did well holding the fort for me.”Blaze looked up at Adrian, and his expression was filled with awe as he took in his gl

“Could the duel be over?!” Julian boomed from his spot at the front stand of the arena. “The other guy seems not to be getting up. If he’s still down in the next twenty seconds, he’ll be declared the loser!”Blaze’s ears perked up in alarm at Julian’s announcement, and seeing as Adrian wasn’t going to get up on his own, he rushed to him without hesitation.With a precise strike of his fist against Kai’s spine, Blaze sent him stumbling away from Adrian.Taking advantage of Kai’s momentary disorientation, Blaze knelt beside Adrian and quickly placed an arm around his shoulder to support him. With some effort, he helped him up to his feet just before the final seconds elapsed. “Master, you need to fight the dark energy before it consumes you,” he advised, his tone filled with concern.Adrian wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and held onto Blaze’s arm for a moment longer to steady himself. “I’m trying,” he gritted, his face tightening as the dark energy wrapped around his hea

Nathan’s anxiety began to fade as his friend Malik methodically worked to cover up their tracks, ensuring no one would ever trace Anita’s accident back to him.Still, the memory of her terrified scream, and the sound of the crash replayed in his head like a broken record. His heart gnawed with extreme guilt, but then a dark sinister voice whispered in his head.“Cheer up, Nathan. It’s too late to cry over spilled milk. At least now you’d get back all you lost to her. You’ve won.”At the mention of him finally defeating Anita, every shred of guilt he felt vanished and was replaced with sadistic triumph, and a befitting smile slowly crept up his lips.“It’s all done, Nate,” Malik announced as he pushed back from the table, and reclined on his swivelling chair, both of his hands coming to rest at the back of his head.He looked up at Nathan’s relieved face and chuckled. “That was kind of scary, wasn’t it? Even I froze for a moment before my mind geared into action.”Nathan scratched the

“N-Nathan?” Anita’s jaw dropped in shock as she heard the voice of her cousin come in from the speaker. Her grip tightened on the steering wheel as her unease became stronger. “What’s happening? What did you do to my car?” “Oh, nothing much, just a little…rigging,” Nathan replied in a casual voice. “Isn’t it exciting to know that I can control your car from where I am? I can even..” He trailed off and before Anita could respond, the steering wheel jerked suddenly under her grasp and started moving on its own accord. “Nathan, stop!” She screamed in panic as she tried to regain control of the steering. “My car is swerving out of control! Why are you doing this?!” The mocking sound of laughter came from the speaker again, and slowly the steering wheel started working normally. “Oh you look so sacred, Anita. You should see your face right now.” Anita’s heart dropped to her stomach as her eyes darted around the car. Was he watching her? A shiver ran down her spine as she scanned for an

The air in the hall crackled with tension as the four men faced off with each other. Adrian and Blaze, Lawrence and Kai.Lawrence and Kai wore identical smug expressions as they undermined their opponents, while Adrian and Blaze wore unfazed, yet confident expressions.Lawrence, deciding to add more heat to the tension, turned to Kai with a cocky smirk. “Kai, what do you say we make things more interesting for our dear opponents?”Kai’s brows rose in intrigue and a sly smirk slowly crept up his lips as his gaze flickered to Adrian and Blaze, then back to Lawrence. “I think that’s a splendid idea, boss. Let’s spice this challenge up a bit.”“Perfect, then,”’Lawrence clapped and turned to face Adrian and Blaze, but his gaze was particularly trained on Adrian. “Why don’t we make a little bet?” He tilted his head challengingly.Adrian and Blaze exchanged glances with each other, and Blaze shrugged. “It’s entirely up to you, master. I’ll go ahead with whatever you decide.”Adrian nodded hi

Murmurs and hushed whispers erupted from the crowd at Adrian’s declaration and everyone began to wonder what would have given him the courage to say such.Julian Xu’s brows furrowed as he sized Adrian up from the podium. Adrian was wearing a black, silk untucked shirt and black slacks with a pair of white air force ones, looking more casual and unassuming than any other person in the hall.Was he dreaming? Julian thought as he watched the young man approach the front of the podium.Adrian didn’t pay any mind to all the comments as he strode towards Julian, his head held high and his hands tucked into his pockets.Lawrence Smith, on the other hand, was seething as his irises flickered wildly at Adrian, while Xavier Palmer and Nolan were wide eyed with disbelief.Nolan was the first to break the silence as he turned to Lawrence. “Mr. Smith, you have to do something!” He blurted out. “You can’t possibly let that loser challenge your position!”“Yes, Lawrence,” Xavier added with a frown.

CHAPTER 230
Adrian had overheard Nolan’s request for Lawrence’s help, and initially he paid no mind to it, but seeing as Lawrence had agreed, he became curious to see how things would play out. Especially since he had given specific orders for Sebastian not to be released without his permission.He observed quietly as Lawrence placed a call to his supposed friend. “Hello, Chief Legal prosecutor Rashford,” Lawrence greeted the person on the other end with a smile. “I have a favour to ask you.”“Lawrence Smith, my good friend. Long time no see,” the chief prosecutor responded with equal familiarity. “Of course, tell me what favour I can do for you.”Lawrence’s expression gleamed with hope. Maybe the chief prosecutor will be able to help afterall.“So the thing is,” he began, lowering his voice slightly. “I have a friend whose brother was thrown into Hades Prison. Is there any—”“Hades Prison?!” Lawrence’s chief prosecutor friend echoed, his voice pitched with shock. “No, no, friend. I’m afraid I w
