Reign of the Heir Chapter 204
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
Reign of the Heir Chapter 1
In a dressing room, Jack stood staring at the shadow of a woman as she sat in front of him, smiling before embracing her from behind. "Jack, let me finish my makeup," she said. "Just like this you are already very beautiful, no need to add more makeup. This is more than enough to amaze everyone." He replied. “No, Jack, enough is not enough for me. I want to look perfect, not only stunning, but also to captivate everyone's heart.” Jack moved in front of his girlfriend, Sophie, and knelt down. “Thank you so much for accepting me,” he said, his voice full of emotion. “Sometimes I think that you are an angel. I can't believe a perfect woman like you is getting engaged to a pizza delivery man like me - especially since you even booked this hotel for our engagement. I promise I will work harder to make you happy.” He kissed her hand tenderly. “Jack, I know you will,” Sophie said confidently. “Now, head out to greet the guests. I invited all my friends for this unforgettable night.” Ja

"Yes, that's right. We are breaking up. I'm sorry Jack, but I can't be with you any longer, either as your fiancée or as your girlfriend."The guests began to murmur amongst themselves as Sophie's three best friends exchanged knowing smiles."What's wrong? Did I do something to offend you?" Jack said, his smile tinged with bitterness. Sophie shook her head in response. "Then what?"“Jack, think about it: What woman of high social standing would risk her entire future for a pizza delivery man, whose salary isn't even enough to cover my electricity bill?”Jack's eyes widened as he felt a sharp pain in his chest. In a strained voice, he started to say, “But you said-”"I don't care about wealth, social class, and all that stuff?" Sophie cut in. "Listen, only an idiot would take those words seriously.""If you're not serious, what is the purpose of this event?"Sophie's eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, "To announce our break up. From this moment on and onwards, I'm no longer your b

Jack was taken a back, surprised by the request. One of the men spoke up, “Young Master, come with us. We have something important to discuss.”But Jack refused, shaking his head. “No, you won't gain anything by kidnapping me. I am alone and very, very poor.” He said.The man then smiled kindly, “No, Young Master. Come with us to meet your grandfather. Master Roodenburg has been searching for you for decades.”“Mr. Roodenburg? The richest conglomerate in this country is looking for me? How come?”“Young Master is the grandson of Mr. Tom Roodenburg. You are the sole heir of the Roodenburg family.”Jack's jaw dropped to the ground before laughing out loud. It was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard. If only he really was the grandson of Tom Roodenburg, Sophie would not have dumped him so cruelly.“Look, my heart will definitely explode if what you guys say is true. But thank you, because of you now I know, that I can still laugh. too bad I'm not the person you're looking for. My
Reign of the Heir Chapter 4
As usual, Jack hopped on his bicycle and set off to work. As he rode along the Roodenburg Highway, a sense of pride filled his chest. 'This is my first morning as the sole heir of the Roodenburg family.' He thought to himself with a chuckle. In that happy daydream, suddenly the sound of a horn deafening in the ears. Jack was so surprised that he tiptoed and almost lost his balance. Loud laughter sounded from behind. Jack turned to see who was so arrogant as to honk his horn while the road was still wide enough to walk through. Jack gritted his teeth as three young men climbed into a gray BMW 3 Series sports car. It was Sophie's new boyfriend, David, with his friends. The three of them dismounted proudly, closing in on Jack. Meanwhile, Jack was still silent, just staring at David without blinking. He still remembered, how last night he was humiliated, beaten, and kicked out of his own engagement party. "Are you exercising in the morning with your trashed bicycle?" David's friends

Jack gulped at the very familiar voice in his ear. 'What is she looking for me for?' his mind began to worry.Claire, who had just entered the kitchen, immediately tapped Jack on the shoulder. “Why does your fiancé call you that? She sounded really angry. Did you guys fight?”Jack shook his head. “I-I will meet her.” He walked quickly forward. 'Isn't it enough to swear at me in front of the guests last night, that you still have to continue cursing in front of my customers.' He tried hard to contain his anger.Seeing Sophie standing between the customer's tables, something ached in a corner of his heart. Then, the image of Sophie's betrayal flashed through his head. However, Jack tried desperately to smile."Anyone can-"SLAP!The diners widened when they saw Jack slapped by Sophie. Without exception, Claire covered her mouth with both hands.It didn't stop there, Sophie also grabbed a glass of juice from the customer's table to splash Jack's face.“Bastard you huh! How dare you beat

Jack had packed some of the customer's pizza into a large box. Claire came over just as she was about to bring the box forward.“Did Mr. James cut your salary again? Does he scold you like Sophie? I'm sorry I can't do anything. I'm sorry, but I want to slap Sophie more than anyone."Jack smiled. He brought his mouth close to Claire's ear. "You have to do it for me.""Of course! Thank goodness you broke with her. If not, she will make things difficult for you. She won't eat pizza every day. She also won't want to live in your boarding house or sit on the back of your old bicycle."“Are you taunting or amusing me?”"I want to comfort you, but you deserve more to be ridiculed.""Shit ha ha! All right, I have to go now before Mr. James comes out and scolds me again."Jack carried the pizza box from the kitchen to the parking lot. The man hooked the rope of the box to his reed bicycle."Ready. Customers will smile to see their orders coming.”Jack was about to take his jacket to cover his

Immediately, everyone started to get whispered one another. They are in unison wondering who exactly that man with dirty clothes, but has a black card, and now acts as if he is so powerful. Many of them then assumed that Jack is a conglomerate in disguise, but not a few visitors who think Jack is a thief. What rich person really bothers to be a pizza delivery man? "Hey! Don't be impudent!” snapped the security guard very loudly. He walked quickly over to Jack. Without further ado he cuffed Jack’s hands. "If I had known that this beggar was actually a thief, I would have beaten you a long time ago." The security guard had raised his clenched fists, ready to punch Jack. A breath escaped Jack's mouth. “You will regret doing this to me.” "Not me but you. How dare you threaten Mrs. Nathalie. Now tell me, who owns the black card?! Or this stick will crack your skull!” Nathalie, who had shaken her hands for fear of losing her job, began to think that the security guard's allegations were

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.

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

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.
