Reign of the Heir Chapter 168
'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

It was indeed Monday, a day that felt heavy as one had to return to the work routine after tasting the joy of the weekend. At least that's how it always felt for Claire who often felt lazy to get out of bed. It seemed that when she opened her eyes on Monday morning, all the tiring things at work were still lingering in her memory, making her eyelids feel even harder to open.Even so, Claire always woke up early out of responsibility, especially after becoming the store manager, her duties became bigger. After all, she had already been unemployed. As tired as she was of working, she was still more tired of looking for a job.However, this morning was a little different. Claire woke up early, even very early. Not only that, she had also taken an early morning shower. And now she was standing in front of the closet.The closet had been open since earlier. And Claire was still focused on looking at her clothes. She cursed herself for not taking care of her appearance. She regretted not th

The woman was silent for a moment. Her face took on a complicated look as she thought of a suitable answer for Claire.However, she could not ignore her ability to judge one's appearance. She was used to giving criticism, as well as being a consultant for one's appearance. However, he knew very well who the person in front of him now was.That woman must not speak carelessly. Offending Young Master Roodenburg's lover was tantamount to offending the young master himself."Perfect." The woman continued with a smile that looked even stranger. She seemed to be forcing herself to say it.Of course Claire's temples twitched faster and faster. She knew how messed up she looked right now. However, she refrained from speaking. It was true, sometimes silence was the best choice."Introducing Miss Boucther, I am Regina who will dress your face, this is Judith who will do your hair, while this is Sheila who will choose the right clothes for you."'So they have different tasks. How much will Jack

"Are you going to keep staring at me or start the car and drive?"Jack shook his head slowly without relaxing his smile. He didn't say anything and just let out a long sigh. "Haah..."Really, Claire's appearance had caught Jack's eye! He had a hard time looking away.Claire leaned closer to Jack and whispered, "Hurry up and start this cool car of yours or I'll get even more excited and can't resist kissing you."Jack looked at Claire even more intently. Their friendship had always been very close. They often held hands or shared hugs. They often made such physical contact even in front of Uncle Bob or in public. However, never once did they kiss, not even on the cheek, let alone on the lips.Jack knew Claire was only joking. But it was enough to make his blood flow faster.Indeed, even when Jack was Sophie's boyfriend, he refrained from doing more. Although there was no denying the desire in his heart to do so.It might sound strange to most men, but Jack had never kissed a girl, not

A car entered the main parking lot of the University of Carnaby. Of course, the presence of the super-luxury sports car attracted the attention of the people around it."Wow, who's here? Look at the cool car!" praised one of the students walking with his friends.Another young man replied, "That's a Lamborghini Egoista, the car body is super duper cool like a fighter jet. Make no mistake, the interior is also very cool. If you get into the car, you will feel like you are in a fighter jet. There is one cockpit-shaped seat. Also, the engine is a 5.2-liter V10. And, when traveling on the highway, the Lamborghini Egoista can reach a speed of 350 km/h. Very fast!"His friends were mesmerized listening to his explanation of the car. He then asked, "Do you know how much it costs?"His colleagues compactly shook their heads. Then, one of them said, "It must be very expensive!"The young man who asked shook his head. He looked down and was followed by his friends, as if what he was about to sa

She is Elena Stuart, Jack's classmate who failed to avenge him. To fulfill the pain of unrequited love, Elena conspired with Gerald Wide to humiliate Jack on the reunion day at StarIn Shine Hotel. However, their plan fails as Jack is honored by the hotel owner. He gets a noble and very special treatment.All the insults and mistreatment that Elena and Gerald had done were rewarded in spite of Jack's lack of reciprocation.

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.

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

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
