Reign of the Heir Chapter 152
Claire, who had been looking down while trying to compose herself, now looked up to see Jack's face.'Young Master?' Claire's brow furrowed.Claire's mind flashed back to the conversation between her and Jack at the door. Jack very confidently referred to himself as Young Master Roodenburg. Jack was even about to correct the name that Claire had mentioned to the doorman. However, none of Jack's words were taken seriously. It all sounded like a joke that Jack used to tell to break the ice.'Could it be...'Claire didn't dare to continue her conjecture. She held her chest to make sure her heart was still there. Claire didn't stop staring at Jack's unsmiling face, watching the servants carry out his orders.Claire wasn't the only one in the room who was surprised at the servants' attitude towards Jack. But all his friends were also very surprised. They all stayed in their seats with their minds filled with conjectures.Since the beginning of Jack's appearance, most of Claire's friends h

As Mario Braxton gracefully entered the room, Jeremy couldn't help but stand up immediately to extend his warm greeting. Jessie, following suit, approached the manager as well, adding to the sense of importance that now filled the space.The scene drew curious glances from others in the room, captivated by the sight of Jeremy bowing respectfully before shaking hands with Mario. Despite Mario being several years his junior, Jeremy maintained an air of politeness and admiration, a reflection of the young man's remarkable career achievements.Observing the interaction, Eleanor couldn't help but comment, "Who is that young man? Jeremy seems unusually courteous towards him."Jack, in the know, responded with a knowing smile, "He's the manager of this restaurant."Another friend of Claire's chimed in with insight, "Ah, that explains it. Jeremy's demeanor is often influenced by a person's status, position, and power. If he perceives someone as weak or less privileged, his behavior tends to t

Jeremy had to suffer even more pain from the hard kick given by Mario. Everyone was certainly surprised by Mario's reaction. They became very curious as to why Mario was so angry after hearing the confessions from those people about Jeremy's terrible deeds to Jack."Get up! Get up quickly!" Mario yelled very loudly. He pulled Jeremy's shirt collar to make the man stand up again."Mr. Mario, could you please stop it. You can't beat me up all you want, and I haven't done anything wrong.""It turns out you still dare to defend yourself. Listen carefully. You and your girlfriend have made a big mistake by being bad to Young Master Roodenburg.""What?" The question almost spilled out of everyone's mouths. They were very surprised to hear what Mario had said.Feeling himself to be the victim of misdirection, Jeremy then denied, "No, Mr. Mario. That's not true at all. I respect young Master Roodenburg more than I respect my parents. I also idolize him so much. How could I dare to be bad to
Reign of the Heir Chapter 155
"Of course not, young master. I've come to my senses. I will no longer be bad to anyone no matter who I'm dealing with. I'm so sorry for all my foolishness. I'm even disgusted with myself for daring to be so arrogant. Whereas you who have everything remain humble and don't look down on anyone.""That's because you already know that Jack is young master Roodenburg." Eleanor chimed in. She was not willing to let Jeremy off the hook for all the wrong he had done. Jeremy deserved a very severe punishment so that the man would learn a valuable lesson. If he was let off without any meaningful punishment, Jeremy might repeat his mistakes to others.Meanwhile, seeing her lover begging for mercy in front of Jack Roodenburg, Jessie also thought that she needed to do the same to save herself. She certainly still remembered how she had bragged before Jack earlier. She had also praised Young Master Roodenburg without knowing that the man nearby was the young master."Young master, I also feel ver

Everyone tensed up waiting for Jack to continue his sentence. Previously Jack had deliberately taken a pause to cause more anxiety in Jeremy and Jessie's hearts. "Your punishment is to never show your face in front of me, otherwise I will beat you to death myself." Jack's words were delivered in an ordinary tone, but his words managed to make everyone feel very intimidated, especially of course Jeremy and Jessie. Jeremy and Jessi looked at each other. They swallowed hard as one. It felt like there was a big boulder stuck in their throat. Honestly, the punishment Jack gave them was very heavy. They still wanted to meet and talk to the young master nicely. They even hoped to have a relationship again after this humiliating incident. However, did they still dare to ask for more after receiving the young master's generosity? Jeremy was seen clenching his fists. But this time he was not doing so out of a great sense of anger. Jeremy was like that because he was gathering courage in hi

Claire's heart skipped a beat at Jack's question. She quickly turned her face away to avoid the young master's gaze.Jack smiled when he saw his best friend close her eyes tightly. However, he didn't think to urge Claire to answer his question quickly. Jack let Claire fill the room with silence.Undoubtedly, Claire was having a major nervous attack. She did spend a lot of time with Jack, telling him everything, also without hesitation giving him a warm hug. However, it was all done under the status of 'friendship'.It can be said that there was nothing Claire kept secret from Jack, except for one thing, which was her feelings. She didn't know when she fell in love with Jack, but she didn't dare to hope to be his lover from the beginning.Everything was more than enough for Claire.So, when Claire was faced with a situation like this, she didn't know whether to prance for joy or do anything else.Meanwhile, Jack had been very patient waiting for Claire's answer. He had been waiting for

In the car Jack was driving, Claire smiled as she stared at the premium kobe steak on her lap. Actually, Jack had asked her to put the steak on the front, but Claire wanted to hold it."How long are you going to stare at that steak?"Claire looked back at Jack for a moment. Claire didn't say anything and only threw a smile in response. After that, she returned her gaze to the gift for Uncle Bob from her fiancé, Jack Roodenburg."How would father react if he knew that you were Young Master Roodenburg?"Jack smiled warmly. "Just wait until I surprise him tomorrow. For one thing, I can't go to dinner with you and Uncle Bob. You're off work tomorrow. I'm going to throw a party at my house, especially for that exemplary carpenter!"Claire adjusted her sitting position so that she could face Jack more freely. She realized one thing. "You haven't told me where you actually live after leaving Ross' boarding house.""O, in that case, tomorrow will be a surprise for you too. I'll pick you two u

Claire bit her lip as she walked back and forth by the door. Every now and then she scrunched up her waist as she looked ahead, no one was coming."Claire, it's still morning. The morning air is very nice, right? So stop pacing there. You're blocking the fresh air from coming into the house." Uncle Bob continued reading the newspaper.Claire snorted in annoyance. "Dad, your daughter is worried, but you're worried about the air.""That's nothing new. You worry every day. It's still early in the morning. Who are you waiting for? You've been dressed up like you're going out since morning. Are you working overtime at King Pizza?"Claire didn't answer. She stood in the doorway with her hands tightly interlocked. Her eyes did not stop watching the road.However, a few seconds later, Claire ran into the house. She sat beside her father. She wrapped her hands around her father's arm while resting her head on his shoulder.Of course Uncle Bob was surprised. He turned his head to look at Claire

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

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.

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

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
