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

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
Reign of the Heir Chapter 184
Jack was indeed upset about Elena's attitude towards him. However, he was also angry when he found out that Elena had also been insolent to the lecturer he respected so much.Offending the young master was already a big mistake, let alone making him angry.Although Professor Jim didn't think much of Elena's behavior, Jack still couldn't forget it."You must admit all your mistakes and apologize publicly to Professor Jim. Only then will I forgive you." Jack emphasized. This time his facial expression was cold, with no smile at all.Claire smiled with satisfaction at Jack's request. The punishment was well worth it.'Feel it! What are you going to do now? I'm sure you won't swallow back the words that have come out of your mouth. And that means, you can't save your pride anymore!' Claire thought as she took Jack's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.Like Claire, Matthew also felt happy and relieved. Although he didn't know what happened before, admitting mistakes and apologizing in

The University of Carnaby officials, lecturers, and staff stood up, as if to confirm that the man walking in front of Matthew Devall was indeed Jack Marshall.Then, one of the lecturers who had his own sentiments towards the poor students, and Jack was no exception, asked sarcastically, "Perhaps Jack met with Young Master Roodenburg in an exclusive room, and said something that offended him, so he didn't want to come up to the podium to deliver the speech? Yes, that makes more sense! He must have done it on purpose so that he could be the guest who had the honor of addressing the graduates."Professor Jim reflexively shook his head. "That's impossible, Mrs. Sarah. I know for a fact that Jack is not that kind of person.""Professor, maybe the old Jack Marshall wasn't, but time has passed, and anyone can change. Now tell me, have you told Jack that there is only one person who will make a speech at the podium other than the chancellor?""Yes, I told him. And Jack didn't mind at all.""B

The jaws of Mrs. Sarah and the others, who had known Jack for a long time, opened wide enough for a goose egg to enter. They were so shocked that they felt like they had been electrocuted.Meanwhile, as Jack walked to the podium, the invited guests cheered loudly. They felt very lucky to be the 'first' to know what the idolized Young Master Roodenburg looked like."He's so handsome, more handsome than I imagined," commented one woman. It seemed like a familiar comment.Another invited guest also praised, "Being a tycoon with endless wealth, with a heart of gold, with a dazzlingly handsome face, with a tall and well-built body, what better word to describe Young Master than perfect?""Look at his gaze, so calm and soothing. Looking at Young Master makes my heart feel calm. I forgot about my anxiety for the job interview tomorrow."And there were many more compliments from people.However, unlike the graduates and invited guests who continued to praise Jack, the campus council, lecturer

"Sorry, Young Master."The Chancellor doubted his own hearing. He was worried that what he heard was not true. Therefore, he chose to ask back what Jack had just said.Jack chuckled. He said, "How should I say it?" He seemed to be thinking. Then Jack explained, "Um... Actually, me, my fiancé, and Matthew didn't get a seat. That's why we're standing at the back. There are no seats for us."The chancellor's face turned as pale as paper. He looked back for a moment to see the faces of the campus council.Of course everyone looked unhappy. This was such a shameful thing!The Young Master who donated the opportunity for University of Carnaby graduates to work at his company, was willing to recommend 20 top students for the best jobs, and had given 200 million dollars in cash to the college, was denied any facilities from the committee, not even a seat?Even the word shame would not be enough to represent the shame they bear!But this happened outside their knowledge. The college officials

Elena's legs were shaking violently. It was very difficult for her to walk to the call of the MC. Hence, she still hadn't moved from her spot.People started whispering, including those in the front row, the campus council and the rector, who had been looking for Elena in the auditorium since earlier. They wanted to question her performance. What had she done to not give Young Master Roodenburg a proper seat, until he asked for it himself."Miss Stuart, we cordially invite you to come up to the podium." The MC called out again. He must have known who it was, one of the most annoying lecturers who often spoke rudely to students, except those from wealthy families.The MC didn't know what Elena really wanted to say in front of everyone. Clearly, it would be a sickening session if Elena started praising herself. In the MC's view, listening to the rector's speech was still better. The young man wanted to skip this session because the woman who was called did not come to the podium. Howeve
Reign of the Heir Chapter 189
Seeing Elena like this, MC could no longer bear to wait. He took the initiative by approaching Elena."Let me help you, Miss Stuart." The MC held out his hand, as if Elena couldn't get on stage herself.To be honest, the young man wanted to go over to Elena and pull her to the podium sooner. However, he refrained because he was still trying to honor Elena.'Damn it! Does this young man think I'm old! Watch out, I won't let you go later. You poor student!'Although Elena spoke very harshly in her heart, all she showed was a smile. She wouldn't yell at the young man in front of her while Young Master Roodenburg was there. She didn't want Jack to think that she didn't regret her bad behavior and still acted like that when dealing with others.Elena wanted to convince Jack that she had changed for the better. Thus she still has hope that Jack will be willing to help her.That is, if after she made a confession and apologized to Professor Jim, the campus council and the rector became unhap

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

Greenroad Villa was very busy today. The servants were so busy going back and forth taking care of all the needs, especially since the guests had started arriving early.Many special guests came to this most luxurious and phenomenal wedding, such as government officials, artists, conglomerates, and so on. 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
