Reign of the Heir Chapter 171
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. Elena really felt very unlucky at that time because Jack could turn things around very easily without doing anything.'This time I won't waste the opportunity!' Elena thought as she saw Jack enter the lecture hall door.Elena thought that what happened at StarIn Shine Hotel was a coincidence in Jack's favor. But doesn't luck always come in one's life? And now Elena was convinced that this was Jack's unlucky day."Elena," Jack replied with his usual calm face and voice, as if nothing had happened before.There was no denying that Jack's appearance was impressive.

An old man wearing glasses, with graying hair and beard, was focused on reading a journal on his laptop screen. He didn't realize that there were two pairs of eyes watching him."Professor."The old man furrowed his brows. The voice that entered his ears sounded familiar. He looked back to confirm it."Jack?" A smile spread across his wrinkled face. He stood up and opened his arms."Professor Jim." Jack hugged his favorite professor warmly.A flash of memories from the past popped into Jack's head. When Professor Jim recommended him to other lecturers. Because of that, Jack often got extra work from the lecturers, such as tidying up documents, collecting data, and so on. And he earned extra money from those jobs. More than that, Jack also gained a lot of new knowledge indirectly.Jack also hasn't forgotten how Professor Jim optimistically told him, and the rest of the faculty, that Jack Marshall would one day achieve great success."Good to see you again, Jack. Look at you now, you're

"I don't know if anyone is more of a fan of yours than I am," Claire whispered."Believe me, there was an idol aura in me from the start. It's just that not everyone can see it."Claire pursed her lips. As a reward, Jack hugged her.The few people who saw them were whispering. It was unclear what they were talking about, but it was clear that envious expressions could be seen on their faces.Until finally those who were still walking after Professor Jim arrived at the campus auditorium. However, when they had just passed through the main door, they were met again by Elena Stuart.'This annoying woman again!' Claire grumbled inwardly."Professor Jim, did you bring Jack and his girlfriend here too?" Elena asked with one eyebrow raised."Let's sit over there." Professor Jim spoke without answering Elena's question, even acting as if he hadn't heard or seen the young lecturer.Elena snorted in annoyance. She felt slighted. Not taking it for granted, she said, "Professor Jim, I respect you

Meanwhile, with her anxiety reaching for the sky, Elena looked confused in the main parking lot of the University of Carnaby. She was rattling her waist beside her Lamborghini Egoista."Where exactly is Young Master Roodenburg now? No Lamborghini car has entered the campus other than this one. This must be Young Master Roodenburg's car."Elena was even more convinced because the car had the Roodenburg family logo on it."But where is the young master? There's no way I'm asking Mr. Matthew again. I can't look foolish in front of high-class people, especially in front of those who are related to Young Master." Elena shook her head before holding her own head.Actually, Elena had already prepared a special place for the Young Master. It was truly a very exclusive place with everything in it only being of the best quality. She had rented special furniture for today alone. Not only that, Elena had also paid a barista to brew premium luwak coffee for the young master to impress him. Word on

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

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.

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.

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.

"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
