Reign of the Heir Chapter 176
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
Reign of the Heir Chapter 179
'Come, come, come out quickly. Show yourself, Young Master,' Elena's inner self couldn't stop talking. She even clenched her fists in excitement waiting for a figure to come out from inside the Lamborghini Egoista."Finally," Elena hissed when she saw someone from inside the car lower his leg.It turned out to be the legs of a man wearing long pants and loafers.Noting the model and brand of shoes the figure was wearing, Elena smiled broadly. These were definitely not just any shoes that could be obtained by paying a low price.Elena knew that the man was wearing limited edition branded shoes of number one quality. If Elena's memory was correct, there were only seven pairs of such shoes in the world. So, there was no way those shoes could be owned by a middle-class person, even a man from the upper class might not be able to get them."I believe, he is indeed Young Master Roodenburg." Elena made the guards beside her turn their heads several times towards her.The guards still did not

With quickened and lengthened steps, Elena entered the main door of the college auditorium. Her chest wanted to burst with anger.'Damn it! That loser is such an asshole! How dare he go this far? I didn't expect Jack to do something like this. He ruined everything. He's such a devil!' There were many expletives in her head directed at Jack.So, when the woman got closer to the row of invitation chairs, her eyes searched the back area to find Jack's figure. She knitted her eyebrows together to make her vision sharper. The auditorium was very large. Elena had to be more careful to find what she was looking for.At that moment, the chancellor of the college was delivering his speech. Obviously, Elena was swearing incessantly because she should be sitting quietly and proudly right now. The college rector would surely praise her for organizing the event so well, for entertaining the special guests so satisfactorily, and for being the person most responsible for such an important and histor

Jack frowned as he looked behind Matthew. His eyes caught the woman Matthew was talking about."How about you ask Elena directly?" Jack waved his hand. "Hello, Elena!"Claire looked at her boyfriend intently with both eyes wide open. An expression of astonishment was clearly visible on her face.How could Jack greet an annoying woman so kindly?Meanwhile, although Jack didn't look angry or annoyed, Elena's face suddenly became as pale as paper, as if she had just seen the creepiest ghost. Not only that, Elena's heart was beating so fast that her chest trembled.Elena stood still with a complicated facial expression. She didn't know what to do or say when Matthew turned around and looked at her.The spacious auditorium filled with many people felt so cramped and silent, as if it was a vacuum that made it difficult for her to breathe."Miss Stuart, what a coincidence that you are here. I would like to ask first, the exclusive room you spoke of for Young Master Roodenburg, is it reserved
Reign of the Heir Chapter 182
Matthew was wide-eyed at Claire's statement. She gave Elena a sharp look, making her even more frightened."Mr. Matthew, we're standing here because Elena won't let us sit down. Professor Jim, Jack's lecturer, has agreed to ask the equipment department to get chairs for us, but Elena forbade it on the grounds that it violates procedure. I don't know which procedure she's referring to, maybe the procedure of embarrassing people! She's so talented at it!" Claire vented her anger.She had tried hard to be quiet, even very quiet, unlike her usual self who never stopped talking."You know Mr. Matthew, this woman has insulted Jack with very harsh words. If Jack hadn't warned me to control myself since yesterday, I would have slapped Elena hard across the face." Claire raised her right hand. She had scared Elena!But that wasn't enough, Claire continued, "I'm also thinking of punching her bloody lips to make her stop talking. Then, I would pull her hair out of her head. Seriously, I thought
Reign of the Heir Chapter 183
Elena knew that she had no chance to defend herself. The wrong she had done was too obvious, and it was unfortunate that Jack, as Young Master Roodenburg, was both the victim and the main witness.So how could she evade or make excuses to make her not look like a bad woman?Elena lowered her gaze, staring at Jack's hand. Exactly, she thought of apologizing by holding that hand, kissing it like a holy hand."Young master, please forgive me. I know the wrong I have done is very, very great, and perhaps unforgivable. My behavior has gone too far. I have done terrible things to you, even though you have always been kind to me. Young Master is indeed a very kind person. You have the heart of an angel. As for me, I am very bad, even worse than the devil."Elena deliberately praised Jack while humbling herself. She hoped to flatter Jack, so that he would forgive her mistakes. She babbled on and on, revealing the good things Jack did, then revealing the bad things Elena did without any regard

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
