Reign of the Heir Chapter 105
The fact that Jack was Young Master Roodenburg was certainly shocking and unexpected for Mary. Although her regret was as deep as the ocean, there was undeniably a sense of joy in Mary's heart. Not because the admired young master was Jack, but because she finally knew who the sole heir of the Roodenburg family really was.So, it was great for Mary that Jack was staying at Greenroad Villa, where Mary worked. The opportunity for her to get close to Jack was even greater.Mary would go to great lengths to get Jack interested in her!Then, in the midst of this brilliant idea that had just popped into Mary's head, why did Bruce's words sound like he was about to give her bad news?"I think I'll take care of filing your dismissal from Greenroad Villa."Boom!Mary's heart was like being hit by an atomic bomb that exploded right then and there. What Bruce said was not only bad, but it also shattered all her dreams."No, no, you can't do that to me, sir. I'm doing well, sir. The yield of the

A guard frowned when he accidentally saw a woman prone on the ground near the strawberry garden area. He focused his eyes to observe the woman who was now crawling backwards."Miss Mary?" said the guard, recognizing the woman who was acting so strangely. "What is she doing there?"The guard then walked quickly over to Mary to ask her what was going on. Meanwhile, Mary continued to crawl backwards without looking back at all.As a result, Mary accidentally bumped into the guard. The woman then turned to the guard who was bent ninety degrees.The guard wanted to ask Mary directly what she was doing there. However, he decided against it because Mary screamed first."Aaa!"Mary fell to the ground in shock. She covered her face with both hands as if the guard was going to hurt her."Miss Mary, what's wrong? Why are you lying here? Then, why are you screaming?" The guard sat crouched in front of Mary.In that instant Mary realized her mistake. She removed her hands from her head. Then, she

Mary tightened her embrace on Jack. She felt very warm and peaceful as she rested her head on Jack's back."Jack, I know I've done a lot wrong. I understand that you can't forgive or forget everything. But, try to understand my situation. Really, I never really hated you. I behaved badly only to support Sophie. You know very well that she is my best friend. I was powerless to resist her."Mary deliberately called Jack's name directly because she thought it would bring them closer emotionally. She and Jack had known each other for a long time, right? So, their relationship shouldn't be awkward.Little did Mary know, behind that very solid back of his, Jack was smiling. He let go of Mary's hand that was holding him.Jack turned around. Still with a lopsided smile he said, "Very funny. A moment ago you were blaming me for the breakdown of the relationship between you and Sophie, and now? You're blaming Sophie to defend yourself in front of me.""That's not what I meant, Jack. I just-"J

Mary was lying on a bed in the emergency room of Sunshine Hospital. There was a bandage wrapped from her chin to her head."Will it take long, Doctor?" asked Mary's friend, Lady, with a worried look on her face."Usually, jaw dislocation recovery takes about six weeks. But don't worry, we will try to speed up the recovery with regular routine care."A sigh escaped Mary's other friend, Grace. She looked at Mary with a pitying gaze. "How did your jaw bone get displaced, Mary?""I fell and my cheek hit the floor," Mary replied in a voice that was not very clear as she was restricting her mouth movements. Nonetheless, what she said could still be understood.Of course, the answer Mary gave was not an honest one. Mary still remembered very well, she was hurt by her own stupidity. She didn't expect that George would slap her again."You don't need to worry, the jawbone has returned to its original position after repositioning. However, care still needs to be taken to prevent another disloca

Mary swallowed. Sophie's opening sentence about Jack made her heart race. It sounded very dangling."Actually, after the expulsion incident from Greenroad Villa, David and I had a fight. You know we blamed each other for being humiliated in front of everyone on such an important occasion. We argued in the car. While driving, David mentioned my faults. And not to be outdone, I did the same, bringing up all the bad things about him. Finally, David got very upset and dropped me off on the road.""Oh my God, David dropped you off on the road? Then, he left you alone?" Grace asked with an incredulous face."That's how it happened. He dropped me off and left me in FleetLand. Do you know that place?"Lady's eyebrows knitted together like they were going to fuse. "Isn't that where criminals live? I heard that if you want to find thugs, thieves, robbers, and the like, they're most likely there. It's a kind of colony for criminals. But Sophie, isn't that place very unsafe for women, especially

The women in the room reflexively turned their heads towards the door. They looked surprised to see the person they had been talking about on the phone at the front of the room.Lady's nostrils swelled with anger. Her anger towards Jack had to be vented. She ruffled her hair furiously before saying, "This cannot be allowed!""You're right, Lady. That loser should learn a valuable lesson!"Lady and Grace looked at each other. They nodded in unison before walking towards the door together.Seeing that war was about to break out, Sophie planned to follow her friends. She was sure that they had just misunderstood, because Jack couldn't have hurt Mary.They had already committed too many sins against Jack. Did they need to add more?Sophie even felt embarrassed when she met Jack."Mary, wait a minute. I'm going out to follow them. Even if it's hard, I'll try to prevent any trouble. I really hope nothing bad happens here."Mary nodded as she grasped Sophie's hand tightly. Like her friend, s

Lady sat limply on the floor. Her muscles felt weak. Her mind was reeling from what she had just experienced.Sophie and Grace, who saw this, rushed over to Lady. Sophie asked, "Are you okay, Lady?"But Lady remained silent. Her face looked very complicated. Her forehead was covered in sweat.Grace looked at Sophie for a moment before taking Lady's hand. Instantly, her pupils dilated. Grace felt Lady's hand tremble."Lady, please don't be silent. Say something quickly." Grace began to worry."W-what is it Jack?"'Yes! But he's not Jack Marshall. He's Jack Roodenburg, Young Master Roodenburg!" replied Mary quickly to Lady's stammering question.But of course, neither the Lady nor her other friends could hear what Mary was saying. That was because she was talking to herself.To be honest, Mary felt jealous. Mary still remembered very well, Jack was very upset when he hugged her from behind. But the young master hugged Lady tightly.'Lady is very lucky. But that's okay, at least until no

In front of a simple whitewashed house, Claire and Jack stood. They seemed to be talking. Uncle Bob had just arrived home in a special car from the hospital. And Jack immediately excused himself to go home."Can't you stay a little longer?" Claire's voice sounded unwilling if Jack went straight home.But Jack shook his head. He smiled as he said, "I've heard a lot of lectures today." He teased Claire.Claire just giggled at her best friend's teasing. Then, she hugged Jack. "Tomorrow I start working again. Hah, working at King Pizza must be boring since you're not there."Jack patted Claire's arm. "Don't talk like that. You still have to work hard for Uncle Bob, and for yourself." He sounded thoughtful. However, Jack then continued, "Try to find another victim. Victor isn't a bad person. He'll just listen to you babble all the time without fighting back. So, don't worry."Claire snorted in annoyance while staring intently at Jack's face. She patted Jack's chest lightly. "Stop mocking m

The moon was perfectly round. From the attic of Greenroad Villa, the wind made the tops of the cypress trees look like they were rubbing against the full moon. There was coffee steaming in two white cups on the wooden table. A burly hand seemed to pick up one of the cups. "It's beautiful," Claire said after her husband took a sip of coffee. She admired the night view of the place. Jack shook his head. "There is something more beautiful than this." Claire said with a beaming face. "Really?" "'Yup." Jack took another sip of his homemade coffee. "Tell me quickly. I want to see it tomorrow." Claire was getting excited. "Why wait until tomorrow?" "So, I can see it now?" "Of course!" Claire clapped her hands happily. "Where can I see it?" She pulled her chair closer to Jack. "Go to the room." Claire who was listening to her husband intently furrowed her brows. However, she still said, "Then?" "When you stand in front of the mirror, look ahead. It really is the most beautiful vie

People were surprised by Jack's reaction to what Claire had done, and Claire herself was no exception. From the time she knew Jack until they decided to get married, Jack had never yelled at her, except when she made a mistake.'Then, what did I do wrong?' Claire thought to herself as she looked at her husband.Some of the ladies in the guest seats also didn't expect the young master to yell at his wife. They held their chests in shock. In their opinion, what Claire did was right.Those impudent people deserved two or three more slaps. Some of the guests even wanted to join in grabbing their hair.If Claire was shocked, Lady was not. Although Claire's slap made her cheek hurt, she was glad to know that the young master was quick to yell at his wife for being rude. That meant, she still had a chance. Who knew what chance Lady was referring to."Young Master," Matthew said feeling the need to defend Claire. He thought, perhaps his employer had misunderstood. However, before he had a cha

Undeniably, the aura emanating from Jack made the four women depressed. They seemed to clutch at their own clothes to hide their trembling hands in fear."Lady," Jack called out as the four women fell wordlessly silent.Lady forced herself to smile. "I am, Young Master."Jack laughed to hear Lady, who had often made fun of him as a loser, now addressing him with such a title, and spoken in a gentle tone."You insist on seeing me. Tell me, after this, what do you want?" Jack stuffed both hands into his pockets.To be honest, Jack's changeable reactions, sometimes looking angry, sometimes so friendly, confused Lady. She was well aware that Jack had every right to be angry. And she would accept whatever Jack would do.Lady briefly turned her head to the right and left to see the expressions on her friends' faces. She was sure that the expression on her face now was not much different from theirs; fear, anxiety, mixed with an expression of regret.Then, she suddenly dropped to her knees i

The guards delayed dragging Sophie and her friends out because they heard authoritative words from a man. It was an utterance they couldn't possibly ignore.That's right, it was Jack himself who had restrained the guards from arresting the female troublemakers. Now, the place seemed to freeze. Everyone watched Jack's calm face as they wondered what would happen next."What's he going to do?" asked Gary as he watched Jack walk to the edge of the stage after asking his wife for a moment. Although Gary was only watching from the television screen, his breath caught in his throat.As someone who had a lot of blame on Jack, Gary was naturally worried about his life. He began to understand the bad things that kept happening to him, although it wasn't as bad as what happened to David, Gary felt frustrated with his life that kept going downhill. Looking at his current situation, it could explain all the bad luck that had befallen him.So, what if his bad luck is still going to continue? What

That one shout managed to provoke the other guests. Now the place was filled with calls for Young Master Roodenburg to kiss his wife.Both of Claire's cheeks flushed at the sound. She even removed her arms from Jack's neck, turning toward the audience with her head slightly bowed.Jack sighed seeing his wife like that. He brought his face closer to Claire's, making the audience stop their exclamations.Everyone was tense waiting for what the Young Master would do."Don't worry. I won't do it in public," Jack whispered so quietly that only Claire could hear him.She turned to her husband with a bright face. Meanwhile, the audience was still waiting for the young master to do what they expected.In that moment of silence, there was suddenly a shout from the back row of seats."YOUNG MASTER!!!"The people were startled. They looked back, to the source of the voice, to see the appearance of the woman who had so boldly called out to Young Master Roodenburg.Now, they were staring at a woma

The wedding procession of Young Master Roodenburg and Miss Claire Boutcher has been completed. Now, their friendship had officially become husband and wife with a sacred bond of love. Happiness was evident on the faces of the bride and groom, their families, and the invited guests, except for the four friends sitting in the back seats.Sophie, who had been shedding tears, now hugged Lady to hide her sobs after seeing Jack kiss Claire on the forehead. Sophie still remembered clearly that during the time she and Jack were dating, Jack had never asked for a kiss from her. Whereas when she was David's girlfriend, he asked her for everything, even on their first day of dating.Indeed, Sophie often sees Jack as a loser even when it comes to romance. While she gives David very high marks, and considers him to be a real passionate man.'But look at it now.

"Hearing his voice, it is clear that Young Master is a kind and humble person. All of us who have the opportunity to attend this event feel very happy and honored. But Young Master instead calls himself the lucky one to be able to greet us. We really are lucky. Even if someone were to buy a wedding invitation from Young Master at a fantastic price, I would confidently refuse it. This is truly the most precious moment of heartbreak." Grace smiled widely with both feelings of happiness and sadness. Her eyes were fixed on the large screen on the right side of the stage. The screen displayed the figure of the masked man who had captured the attention of everyone in Rhineland.Two large screens had been set up beside the stage to help the backseat audience get a clear view of the proceedings. What was shown on the screens was what was seen on the television screens as well.Grace and her entourage were a little disappointed that they were seated at the very back, but they were quite self-a

"If this was the old David, I would believe it. But David, now you even only live in this cramped boarding house. There's no way you can meet a woman from the upper class." Gary picked up a potato chip and chewed it casually. There was no longer any worry or fear of offending David. David's arrogance had faded since he fell into poverty. "Maybe David saw her when he was finance manager at Big Roodgroup." Gary said. However, David remained unmoved. He didn't take his eyes off the television. The frown on his forehead grew. "David." Even Gary's soft call startled David. Shaking his head, David said, "There's no mistaking it, she's that woman." Ryan asked, "What are you talking about?" "I'm pretty sure, she, Young Master Roodenburg's bride is that rude woman who works at King Pizza. She scolded me once. She yelled at me and Sophie. She told us not to go inside the store." Gary and Ryan looked at each other briefly before laughing together. The small room was now filled with their a

The servants were so busy going back and forth taking care of all the needs, especially since the guests had started arriving early.Many special guests came to this most luxurious and phenomenal wedding, such as government officials, artists, conglomerates, and so on. They were very excited considering this was the wedding of the sole heir of the Roodenburg family, the family with the most wealth, popularity and influence.Who would want to miss an invitation to the wedding of the sole heir of the number one high-class family?"To be honest, I'm still traumatized by the events of that charity night." Lady took Sophie's arm."I didn't realize that the wedding invitation was real. It felt so... sudden, too sudden. It's a good thing you forced me to come, otherwise I would have regretted missing my idol's happy event even more, though I probably wouldn't have cried about it for long." Lady continued. She hugged Sophie while acting like she was sobbin
