RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 30
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

Nancy’s brows raised in surprise as she shifted her gaze toward Adrian, a nervous smile breaking out on her lips. “S-sir, you’re here too? Well, uh…my little brother is admitted in this hospital because he has a heart condition and I was just discussing his treatments with the doctor.” she explained in a shaky voice.The doctor whose name tag identified him as Dr. Evans, darted his eyes from Nancy to Adrian, his brows creasing into a frown at the polite way she was talking to him. “And who might you be?” he questioned, gazing pointedly at Adrian.“That’s not important.” Adrian brushed off the question. “From what I overheard, it seems you’re refusing to attend to this lady. May I ask why?”Dr. Evans scoffed, a dismissive snort escaping his lips. Who was this shabbily dressed buffoon to question him? “I don’t see how it’s any of your concern. It’s between me and her.”Nancy, sensing the budding tension between Adrian and the doctor, spoke up with a calming smile directed at Adrian. “Si

Jamie Lawson made his way into Lifemate Hospital, with the aim of confronting his father about the strange occurrence with his bank account the previous day. He had still not gotten over the humiliation he had faced at Elegantè boutique. He walked down the hallway leading to the waiting room and was about to press the elevator button, when he heard the sound of raised voices coming from nearby. The prevalent voice sounded like that of his friend, Ricky so he decided to greet him before meeting with his father.His thoughts were confirmed when he spotted Ricky or rather Doctor Evans, at the waiting room along with a lady and a man. His eyes lit up with mirth as he made his way toward his friend. “Ricky, buddy is that you?” he boomed.On hearing the sound of the voice, Doctor Evans turned to look at Jamie and his scowl melted into a smile. “Jamie, bro, it’s been a while.” “I know right.” Jamie replied as he gave Doctor Evans a friendly pat on the shoulder. “Good to see you.” Jamie's g

Adrian was lying shirtless and motionless on the operating table, his eyes were shut tightly, his skin extremely pale and clammy, and his lips had a slight blue tinge to them.His chest was still, and a tube connected to a ventilator was passed through his nose to help him breathe properly.The surgical team had also cleaned the blood that poured from his chest, but it was still bleeding, and it became a serious cause for concern.Doctor Arnold was momentarily frozen when he saw Adrian, and he had to blink severally to make sure he wasn’t imagining things. Never would he have expected that the patient he was treating was his boss, who had left the hospital completely fine just a few hours ago.His shock finally wore off and he sprang into action.For the next approximately five hours, Doctor Arnold and his team of surgeons performed an open heart surgery on Adrian to remove the bullet.Just as they were rounding up with the surgery, something happened.Adrian’s heart rate visibly inc
CHAPTER 254
Adrian’s eyes widened as it dawned on him that a bullet had struck him, and he stumbled backwards from the scorching pain that shot up his chest. He clutched his heart and felt the warm liquid seeping through his hands. When he looked down, he saw that the crimson color was quickly spreading throughout his chest and dripping down his hands at an even faster rate.He turned towards the direction the bullet came from to see if he’d spot anyone, but no one was there. The streets were empty and quiet, save for the noise from the bikers.Kai had seen Adrian turning, so he quickly turned around and pressed himself to the wall to properly blend with it. A cruel smirk appeared on his face as he replayed what he had done. He raised the gun to his line of sight and stared at it with a hint of fascination in his eyes.“Finally,” he whispered maliciously. “It’s done.”With that, he risked another peek at Adrian and saw that he was no longer looking towards his direction.He quickly tucked his

Finally calling it a night, Adrian left the bar with Ashley walking beside him. He had decided to escort her to where her car was parked before going on his own way.The moment they were about to cross to the other side of the road, the loud roaring engines of motorcycles echoed in the air.They both looked to see a good number of motorcycles heading towards them, and in a split second they were surrounded.The hairs at the back of Ashley’s neck prickled her skin and she subconsciously held onto Adrian’s arm.“Adrian, what’s happening?” She whisper in hushed urgency as her eyes frantically darted around the motorcycles that circled them. “Do you know these people?”Adrian followed her line of sight as he too searched the faces of the men on the Harley Davidson motorcycles.His brows furrowed as he couldn’t recognize any of them. That was until the person who looked to be the leader stepped out and revealed the person cowering behind him.It was the man from earlier, the one who had ch
CHAPTER 252
A sliver of unease began to flicker within the man as Adrian said the words he had been dreading to hear.He lost the bet.The punishments.His eyes frantically darted around as though searching for someone to help him out of the situation, but no one seemed to be on his side.“If I could remember clearly,” Adrian continued, his lips tugging into a smirk as he saw the panic that began to appear on the man’s face. “You said the loser of the bet would have to grovel before the winner and lick the shoes of everyone here. So what are you waiting for? Begin already.”“Yeah,” the patrons echoed in unison and began chanting. “Do the bet! Do the bet!”The man internally shook his head. There was no way he’d lick the shoes of everyone at the bar. He had only agreed to the punishment because he thought it would be Adrian doing it.“I have to escape,”‘the man muttered internally. His eyes darted around again, this time searching for the exit. When he spotted it, his body barked into motion as

Adrian grimaced as he perceived the foul stench that emanated from the man’s vomit. He instantly took off the shirt, and luckily, he was wearing an undershirt underneath which hadn’t been hit by the vomit. He used the clean sides of his shirt to wipe the bits of biking off his face and then threw it to the floor.At this time, the minor tipsiness in his eyes had already cleared off and he could think clearly again, so his movements weren’t slowed down.His gaze shifted to the man and he stifled a laugh as he saw the drama the man was displaying.First, he had taken off his clothes, and was sweating profusely while repeatedly murmuring, “Too hot,” under his breath.Secondly, he fell off his seat and was instead rolling on the floor as he writhed like someone in pain.Some people who found the scene incredibly funny pulled out their devices and began to record.While the other patrons were more empathetic, and filled with pity for the poor man.They turned their gazes to Adrian, expect
CHAPTER 250
Everyone watched with undivided attention as the man climbed down the chair and made his way to the bar.Once he reached the counter, he tapped it a few times to get the bartender’s attention. The bartender, who had been busy mixing a couple of drinks, looked up and raised a brow in inquisitiveness.“What can I get for you, sir?” He asked politely.“Ten shots of Devil Springs mixed with Everclear, please,” the man replied loud enough for everybody to hear.And gasps erupted from the patrons.Devilsprings was known to be one of the strongest alcoholic vodkas ever made, and wasn’t for the faint-hearted. It was already dangerous enough, but when mixed with Everclear, drinking it could be said to be almost suicidal.Ashley also gasped beside Adrian and looked at him, eyes wide in alarm. “Adrian, that man is completely out of his mind!” She whisper-yelled, and panic seeped through her voice. “Devilsprings is not something to be trifled with. I even know someone who had died from drinking
CHAPTER 249
The man’s eyes flashed with annoyance, but then he masked it with a challenging smirk. “You can’t tell me what I can or cannot do,” he scoffed as he gave Adrian a disdainful once over. “You’re just a loser.”Adrian shrugged as though the words merely bounced off his shoulders. “Call me whatever you want, but don’t dare bother my girlfriend again.”The man folded his bulky arms across his chest and the smirk on his lips widened aa he openly checked Ashley out, disregarding Adrian’s words.Ashley’s grip around Adrian’s arm tightened and she shifted on her feet as the man’s lustful stare sent bad shivers down her spine. “Pretty lady, I have a proposal for you,” the man spoke up again, after he was done gawking at Ashley shamelessly. He rubbed his lips while licking them as he continued.“Ditch this loser boyfriend of yours, and come to me. I’ll give you whatever you wabt and turn your life around.”Ashley rolled her eyes at the cockiness in the man’s tone, and her gaze met his squarely.
CHAPTER 248
Adrian sat a bit more upright on the sofa as he glanced up, his gaze steadily meeting Regina’s. “I’ve not done that yet. He’s fainted, so he’s been revived. I’ll take him to prison once that happens.”Regina huffed and crossed her arms. “Him being the culprit, doesn’t make you innocent,” she muttered bluntly.“You still had a role to play in what happened to Anita, because you aren’t rich enough to protect her. I still stand by my earlier statement. You don’t deserve to be near my daughter, so leave.”Adrian’s eyes flashed with fury and disbelief. He knew Regina had always been an unreasonable person, but this was just too much.“Are you serious right now?” He echoed in incredulity. “You’re still blaming me for Anita’s accident?”“Of course,” Regina shot back, her voice rising slightly. “If you weren’t so useless, then a brat like Nathan wouldn’t have been able to harm a single hair on her head. She’s better off without you, so just get out for crying out loud!”“No,” Adrian refused,
CHAPTER 247
Blaze hesitated for a moment before his voice finally sounded through the receiver. “If that’s what you want, master,” he conceded. “I know there’s definitely an important reason why you made this decision, and I hope whatever it is gets sorted in time.”“Thank you for understanding, Blaze,” Adrian responded with a firm nod. “I’ll talk to you later.”With that he hung up the phone and leaned back against the back rest of the couch, and his mind swirled with thoughts for a moment before exhaustion overtook him and his eyes drooped close.Meanwhile, on another side of Wibston, Lawrence Smith was having a fit of rage as he reeled from the aftermath of his defeat to Adrian.Kai, on the other hand, stood a few meters away from Lawrence, while clutching his side. Despite the pain traveling up his body, he barely registered it due to the anger swirling inside him. His fight with Adrian replayed over and over in his head and he couldn’t still believe Adrian had won the fight. But even more
