Reign of the Heir Chapter 15
"I-I'll get some gloves first." After all, James wasn't willing to get his hands dirty with that disgusting garbage.Jack spluttered. "Is your body that weak? Come on Mr. James, you won't get sick just from touching the trash directly. Besides, the supply of gloves for cleaning the toilets ran out two months ago. Have you forgotten, you yourself banned employees from using gloves to clean the toilets. You said that gloves should only be used in the kitchen. The shop has provided antiseptic soap and paper towels to clean hands."'What a jerk! This loser is a real asshole!' James could only curse inwardly. He never thought he would be in this position. That's why the only thing on his mind was how to cut the shop's operating costs so that the budgeted funds could go into his own pocket.James pressed his lips together as he reached out to pick up the trash from the barrel. He even held his breath in disgust.James started his work from a normal garbage can. He was relieved to see that i

Jack parked James' car in the Big Roodgrup parking lot. He smiled remembering how the BlueLux hotel guard had intercepted him to get in that night. The same thing would have happened to him if he had come to this big company on a bike. In this place, the security guards even stood guard at the front gate. Let alone getting into the building, parking a bike in the company premises was difficult.'It's a good thing Claire took these things from James, otherwise I would've made Matthew run to the front gate.'Jack got out of the car. He looked at the huge and tall Big Roodgrup building. He didn't know how many floors the building had, but it was all his.Jack closed his eyes before taking a deep breath. "The air here is so fresh.""Of course!"Jack turned his head back to see who it was that interrupted him. And he was right, it was Sophie's annoying boyfriend. He exhaled with a sour face."Hey, you said the air was fresh, why are you so upset?" David walked over to Jack. "Oh, I know, it

David seemed to recognize the voice. His face turned pale as he heard it. "Who is it? He sounds so angry."David turned around. He gulped at the sight of the man who was hurrying towards him. Then, something unexpected happened.SMACK!Jack covered his mouth with both hands. He hissed as he saw David's cheeks turn red from the hard slap. "That must have hurt.""Why did you hit me, Sir?""You're still asking! You left your job just like that. Where did you go?"The angry man was the head of the personnel department. He was tall and bulky with dark-colored skin."I-I went out to greet Young Master Roodenburg.""What?!" The man's voice rose. "Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are? Only the correspondence staff and you think you can welcome Young Master?!"David turned to Jack to see his expression. David's face looked very troubled. He was trying so hard to make Jack feel insecure."Mr. Matthew even stayed in his room to work. Now, return to your room. Finish your work if

Jack shook his head vigorously as he spoke, his voice strained with disbelief. "David, do you honestly believe that this gentleman is so naive that he can't distinguish between truth and falsehood? I was astounded when I witnessed him exiting the very room you claimed to be yours earlier."'Bastard! This loser!' David's jaw hardened at the pizza delivery guy's insulting lick. He wanted to slap Jack right then and there, but first shifted his gaze to the man in the white coat. Then, he began to swallow.Before the wrath broke out, David denied, "Mr. Ben, don't take his word for it. I thought he was here to offer me a lunch package, but it turns out he was out for revenge. He beat me to a pulp the other day, and my girlfriend came to King Pizza to teach him a lesson. If you doubt me, you can call the manager.""That’s not true."The man whose full name was Ben Braxton immediately turned to look at Jack."Wh-what do you mean?" he demanded.Jack casually replied, "Sir, I'm not here to off

"What's wrong with you? Why are you showing such a decline in IQ? Gosh, no one would think that someone like you would ever be the manager of this place!"The cursing was heard loudly outside the room. Some of the employees who happened to be passing in front of the room turned their heads toward the door. They clearly wanted to know who had angered the Head of Human Resources."I-I didn't mean to, sir.""That's the point! You don't even understand that what you're doing is like digging your own grave. If you obey my wishes, I will give you a letter of dismissal today.""Sir, I beg you, don't do that. Give me just one chance to prove that I'm still worthy of working at Big Roodgroup.""You mean prove that you're much more of an idiot than this? I-"Before the man could finish his sentence, the phone rang. He seemed to take a deep breath before picking it up."Hello, yes it is. Are you sure, sir? Okay."The Head of Human Resources hung up the phone. He straightened his suit before sitt

David pressed his lips together to suppress his emotions. There was a taste of coffee that he accidentally tasted. He wiped his face, which was wet from the coffee spouted from Jack's mouth. It was obvious that his hands were shaking. However, this time it wasn't out of fear, but out of anger.'Disgusting!'‘That kind of hobo's spit might carry tetanus!’Unfortunately, David didn't get a chance to express his displeasure. In fact, just as his eyes opened, Matthew's attack had already begun."What did you put in the cup?! I asked you to make coffee. If you can't, you can tell the Head of Human Resources. Damn, you're embarrassing me!""Mr. Matthew, -I, I just-""Putting in instant coffee and brewing it? I'm sorry to make your face wet, but I'm allergic to instant coffee. It'll make my head spin." Jack held his head before sitting on the cushioned chair.It was the most illogical excuse David had ever heard. 'It's coffee, not cyanide!"Look, you made a big mistake. Now clean up your mes

Claire stood in front of Jack's boarding house. She had to tilt her head because it was like she was looking at a different boarding house.It was still the same size, but there were two chairs and a table in front of it. In addition, there were many plants decorating it. The most striking thing was the paint. It was like the only colored flower among the black and white pictures."Is this Jack's boarding house?" Claire looked around to make sure. "Everything in this place is exactly the same. Only this boarding house is different."Claire raised her hand to knock on the door. However, a hand suddenly tapped her shoulder.Claire stood on tiptoe clutching her chest. As she turned around, her eyes widened to see Ross behind her.Claire's reaction was not without reason. She knew for a fact that Ross was a very fierce housemother. Her attitude and words were not much different from James Bing's. Let alone Jack, she had also become Ross's tantrum because her friend (Jack) paid the bill la

When Jack and Claire arrived at King Pizza, both of them looked at each other. There was obvious fear in Claire's eyes. She even held Jack's arm after getting off the bike.Besides Jack's bike, there were several motorcycles and a car parked there. Jack knew for sure that the thing that scared his friend was the car that David Guillon had washed yesterday.'I guessed it right, that damn guy was waiting!'Jack nodded and stroked Claire's hand. "Everything will be fine.""My feeling is getting worse now. I'm sure James is already planning something bad.""Of course! Bad people always think the bad things. Calm down."Jack took Claire by the hand to lead her into the shop. As soon as the door opened, James Bing's sly smile greeted them."Welcome losers!" James stood proudly. He was wearing the most expensive suit he had specially for this 'resurrection' day. With both hands stuffed into his pants pockets, he walked over. "Claire, look down."Jack and Claire looked at James' feet which we

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. Jack married Claire in front of the entire Rhineland town with great dignity and charisma, with no drama, no fuss, no promises of this or

"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

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
