RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 28
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

Nancy grimaced in pain and fear creeped into her eyes as she struggled against Flynn’s bruising grip on her arm. With her free hand, she fumbled with the telephone, her fingers trembling as she dialed Gary’s number. Adrian, who was furious at the sight of Flynn manhandling Nancy, instantly retaliated by grabbing Suzy’s arm and twisting it behind her back. “Let go of me!” Suzy screamed, her voice laced with pain but Adrian tightened his hold.“Flynn whipped around at the sound of Suzy’s scream, the rage in his eyes intensifying as his gaze meet Adrian’s. “You dare touch my girlfriend?! Let her go now or I will…”“I will not let your girlfriend go until you leave that innocent girl alone.” Adrian cut Flynn off, his voice icy and unflinching.“Babe, please just let her go! My arm hurts so badly!” Suzy cried hysterically as her body writhed against Adrian’s firm grip.Unable to bear seeing Suzy in pain, Flynn reluctantly let Nancy go. Nancy clutched her arm with a whimper as she tried to

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
CHAPTER 299
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
CHAPTER 298
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
CHAPTER 293
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
