Reign of the Heir Chapter 163
Everyone fell silent. They looked at each other, to confirm the shock on each other's faces.Young Master Roodenburg was not an unfamiliar name to them. They had often heard or read news about the most mysterious person in Rhineland. Even if the news was not accompanied by pictures, photos, videos that directly showed what Young Master Roodenburg looked like, Young Master Roodenburg's generosity and humility had long made them fall in love.Then, was the person they had been admiring, even idolizing, the young man who saved a teddy bear for a little girl's happiness?"A-are you sure?" A woman who had spoken ill of Jack tried to reconfirm. Her heart became uneasy all of a sudden.The little girl's mother looked at Jack's business card again. Then, she nodded confidently and said, "And here it says the address is Greenroad Villa.""Then there is no mistake, that young man is indeed Young Master Roodenburg. Greenroad Villa is a vast and luxurious estate. There is a magnificent building t

Normally the gatekeeper would open the gate immediately when Jack arrived. But this time he didn't because he didn't know that the driver of the black car was the Young Master. Even a frown appeared on the guard's forehead when he noticed that the car was exactly the same as the car used by Young Master Roodenburg's bodyguards. However, there was no Roodenburg family logo on the car. Moreover, he also knew that the car was not the car used by the bodyguard from the license plate.!!A tapping sound was heard as the bodyguard's finger hit the glass on the driver's side."Jack, are you sure he'll let us in?" Claire squeezed her boyfriend's arm.Jack smiled before opening the glass. And upon learning that the person behind the glass was the young master, the gatekeeper hurriedly pulled his lips back.A very wide and sweet smile spread across the guard's face. His rows of neat and clean teeth made the fierceness on that face disappear. Unconsciously it made Claire smile too."I knew you w

"I know Young Master Roodenburg is too perfect for me. But Mr. Bruce, seeing him with his girlfriend also broke my heart. I realize, a servant like me doesn't deserve Young Master. But Mr. Bruce, even so I feel devastated knowing he has chosen the woman he will marry. Then what should I do? I want to see Young Master happy, but..."Bruce patted Renee's shoulder. "Already, calm yourself down. If you already know and realize this, then stop acting like this."Bruce continued, "Young Master is not only classy in appearance, wealth, and so on. But he also has a classy attitude and nature. We were already working for the Roodenburg family before Young Master was discovered. Mr. Tom treated us very well, but his grandson treated us like family. You must still remember what Young Master did when you collapsed in his room. If it was anyone else, he would have immediately called me to take you away."Bruce paused for a moment to see the reaction on Renee's face. Then, he said again, "Now I ask

"Of course, everything is fine. Don't worry. It was just a call from Matthew. We'd better finish our breakfast and go to the strawberry farm."That morning Greenroad Villa became different. The peace was complete with happiness and love.They were about to go to the strawberry patch. However, Uncle Bob refused."You two pick strawberries for me. If the Young Master permits, I would like to take a walk around the garden." Actually, Uncle Bob didn't want to disturb his daughter's company with Jack."Uncle, don't call me that. To me, your 'Jack' is the best.""Really?" said Claire. "Jack. Jack? Jack!" She tried a few notes and made her father tap his forehead.Uncle Bob whispered to Jack. "Look, I'm not sure my daughter will change after becoming Mrs. Roodenburg."Jack laughed quite loudly. He made Claire turn to him."Why are you laughing?" Claire asked suspiciously."It's okay, Uncle Bob. That's what made me fall in love with your daughter." Jack ignored Claire's question.Claire, who

Without realizing it, the day flew by. The morning had passed and it was noon. Uncle Bob, who had just returned from a walk in the garden, looked very happy. He took off the hat Bruce had given him before sitting on a chair on the terrace."Aah!" A long breath came out of Uncle Bob's mouth. Although he sounded a little tired, he was still smiling widely. His face was just as radiant as before he went around the garden."Bruce, did you just let Uncle Bob keep walking around the garden on foot?" asked Jack who came first with Claire after getting a basket full of strawberries.Bruce had to chuckle at the expression on Jack's face. He then replied, "No, Young Master. We took the buggy car after walking a few meters. So, you and Miss Claire don't have to worry about Mr. Bob getting tired.""Thank you, Mr. Bruce for accompanying my father around. I can see he is very happy."Bruce bowed and smiled, "It's my honor, Miss.""Dad, is this garden so big that you need a lot of time to go around

'Yes, I'm Claire Boutcher, sir,' Claire replied.But of course, her answer did not reach Mr. Tom's ears, as Claire only said it silently. In fact, Claire was now frozen like a statue in place. Let alone making a sound, not even shaking her head or nodding.Claire only looked at Tom Roodenburg timidly.Seeing his future wife like that, Jack smiled with a sigh. Without saying anything, Jack walked to Claire's side. He held both of her shoulders.Claire gasped. She looked back at Jack before smiling at Tom Roodenburg."That's right, sir. I'm Claire, Claire Boutcher." She nodded slowly, then extended her hand to Tom Roodenburg.Unexpectedly, Mr. Tom chuckled. He let Claire's hand go unheeded.It was obvious that the woman's hand was shaking violently, as if she wanted to pull it back, but didn't dare. Claire was confused, anxious, and increasingly afraid.She began to think that Mr. Tom's laughter was meant to be sarcastic. She said to herself, 'What a fool! Even before Mr. Tom sees the g

Jack smiled broadly at his girlfriend. However, unlike him, Claire's face looked as pale as paper.Right now in her heart Claire must have been unable to stop talking while her head was filled with anxiety. She knew very well that this was what she wanted. Marrying Jack was certainly a happiness that would not even be enough to be represented by thousands of happy words alone.'But, is it this soon?'Claire swallowed her saliva with difficulty. It would have been easier if the Jack holding her hand was an ordinary pizza delivery man. Claire's thoughts became tangled because she knew that the man who was going to marry her was no ordinary man, but a Young Master Roodenburg!"Jack.""Yes." Jack turned to look at Claire."Are you sure you want to marry me?" Claire squeezed Jack's hand. She didn't understand why that stupid question came out of her mouth."Why? You don't want to marry me?""It's not like that. But-"Before Claire could finish her sentence, Jack cut her off by saying, "Cla

Jack insisted on driving Claire and Uncle Bob home, even though Claire asked to go home in her own car. Now another black Mercedes Benz drove up behind the car Jack was driving."Look, aren't you pushing yourself too hard? We could have made this simpler by letting me and dad go home by ourselves," Claire said after pointing at the back for a moment. "Now your bodyguards will have to follow this car.""Claire..." Uncle Bob called out to his daughter to prevent her from speaking more."Alright, alright. But Jack, instead of you getting tired of going back and forth to Greenroad Villa, wouldn't it be more effective if you let me drive. Driving from Greenroad Villa to my house won't tire me out. Oh, or are you worried that I'll be careless? Trust me Jack, I already have a driver's license. I'll show you. Just wait a moment."At that moment, Jack put the back of his right hand in front of his mouth while clearing his throat. He was trying hard to hold back his laughter."Look, this is a r

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

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
