Reign of the Heir Chapter 21
Claire stood in front of Jack's boarding house. She had to tilt her head because it was like she was looking at a different boarding house.It was still the same size, but there were two chairs and a table in front of it. In addition, there were many plants decorating it. The most striking thing was the paint. It was like the only colored flower among the black and white pictures."Is this Jack's boarding house?" Claire looked around to make sure. "Everything in this place is exactly the same. Only this boarding house is different."Claire raised her hand to knock on the door. However, a hand suddenly tapped her shoulder.Claire stood on tiptoe clutching her chest. As she turned around, her eyes widened to see Ross behind her.Claire's reaction was not without reason. She knew for a fact that Ross was a very fierce housemother. Her attitude and words were not much different from James Bing's. Let alone Jack, she had also become Ross's tantrum because her friend (Jack) paid the bill la

When Jack and Claire arrived at King Pizza, both of them looked at each other. There was obvious fear in Claire's eyes. She even held Jack's arm after getting off the bike.Besides Jack's bike, there were several motorcycles and a car parked there. Jack knew for sure that the thing that scared his friend was the car that David Guillon had washed yesterday.'I guessed it right, that damn guy was waiting!'Jack nodded and stroked Claire's hand. "Everything will be fine.""My feeling is getting worse now. I'm sure James is already planning something bad.""Of course! Bad people always think the bad things. Calm down."Jack took Claire by the hand to lead her into the shop. As soon as the door opened, James Bing's sly smile greeted them."Welcome losers!" James stood proudly. He was wearing the most expensive suit he had specially for this 'resurrection' day. With both hands stuffed into his pants pockets, he walked over. "Claire, look down."Jack and Claire looked at James' feet which we

"Who's coming?" Claire came forward to follow Jack. She held her head. "Damn Bastard! What else would she come here for?! Well, I’ll handle this and please just stay here. Let me kick her out.""Claire." Jack scratched his itchy head as Claire ignored his call and walked to the front of the shop. He briefly stunned to think whether it was better to come forward or let his friend take care of the problem. "You can't come in. Can't you see that the shop isn't open yet?" Claire's voice was faintly heard.A breath escaped Jack's mouth. 'Let it be, I'd better go to the kitchen before a war breaks out.' He made a wise decision. There was no point in him coming out now. Instead, he would only be the referee later.As Jack walked back, a woman's voice began to reply to Claire's words in the courtyard of the shop."I saw an employee flipping that board over earlier. How rude! A customer comes in, and instead of being welcomed, he deliberately rejected my arrival. Then a witch came out and go

"I'm one step away from becoming deputy director at BlueLux, but your presence is ruining everything. You're such a pesky, disgusting, useless bearer. You're trash! I hate you so much. Why should I know you? Oh, I didn't expect to be talking to you even now!"Sophie continued to rant, venting her frustration. Jack, on the other hand, remained silent without saying anything. Of course, Jack's attitude made Sophie even more annoyed. "Did you become mute after destroying my career?! If you hadn't come that night, I would've gotten closer to my dream. I wouldn't have had such a disaster! Gosh, I thought you were a nice and innocent guy before. But apparently, you even instigated my boss to be bad to me. Now, you must take responsibility. Fix all the things you broke, brat!"Jack looked at the floor as he swallowed along with his anger. He gave Sophie a sharp look. "Think about it, who am I to influence him?" he retorted in a low voice.Sophie didn't move. Her logic was jolted by Jack's q

In the late afternoon, Jack came out of King Pizza. Claire was about to take a taxi home and asked him to go home first because she still had some things to finish. Jack took a different route. To be more precise, he didn't go straight home because he wanted to stop by the First Style clothing store. He wanted to see the atmosphere of the store after being led by the new manager. Oh or did he actually want to meet the manager?Jack smiled remembering Audrey who had been very warm to him, even though she was just a 'pizza delivery person'. He looked briefly at the paper bag hanging on the handlebar of the bike.It didn't take long for him to reach the First Style store. Jack took the paper bag off the bike. He smelled it as he walked towards the main door of the shop. 'Victor is a pizza expert. He praised his friend who was in charge of making pizzas at King Pizza.The shopkeeper bowed respectfully to Jack, "Welcome, happy shopping, sir."Jack smiled and entered. The guard's treatmen

In her unstoppable rage, Audrey almost blurted out who Jack was. She only realized after hearing Jack clear his throat.Now, Audrey was really caught in a difficult situation. Especially when Lady pressed her."Who is this pizza delivery guy anyway?! A conglomerate? An official? A ruler? Hahaha, I'll faint if that's true!""He-he's ...." Audrey's sentence hung because she was still thinking about the rest."You can't defend him, can you? It's not easy because there's nothing to be proud of in that loser! All he has is a big zero!" Mary pointed at Jack's face who remained calm."Stop pointing at him, Miss. If you ladies object to Jack being here, you can leave. The exit door is still the same as the door you entered earlier."Lady and Mary turned to each other. Both frowned, unhappy with Audrey's words."You're kicking us out just for this trashy guy! Hahaha, what a pity for this shop owner. He chose an amateur manager and let Nathalie go. Though I can guarantee, this guy won't buy any
Reign of the Heir Chapter 27
The humiliating moment at First Style has not faded away even though days have passed. Neither Lady nor Mary could forget it. How could respectable ladies like them be kicked around like vagabonds?In their entire lives, it had never happened! Usually they were the ones who humiliated others, but that night they felt at their most despicable.Even today, their resentment towards Jack, and Audrey, was exactly the same. They wanted to retaliate, but they hadn't had the chance to do so yet, they had been violently expelled.If they could, they would have wanted to take off and change their faces because they were so ashamed!"Lady, Mary, it's still too early to pout. Did you guys have your periods together?" The woman in pink stifled a laugh."Grace, don't mock us like that. It's not funny at all." Lady replied with an increasingly annoyed face."You don't know that bad things are sometimes very hard to forget. I'm even really want to kill someone right now." Mary banged her fork on the

"Sophie, is everything okay?""Yes, your face is suddenly pale. Did something go wrong at work?"Grace and Lady were getting curious. They knew Sophie was a confident person. For a question that could end in a compliment, why was Sophie suddenly 'worried'?"Sophie, we've been friends since college. Just tell me if something is bothering you. We usually share our problems, right? Seeing you like this makes us worried. Did David forbid you from working? Did he ask you to resign so you can stay at home when you get married?"Sophie shook her head. "No, no, he's happy that I'm doing well." She tried to smile."So?" Her three friends asked in unison.A breath escaped Sophie’s mouth. It seemed like she could no longer hide the big problem she was having."Guys, as bad as what happened to Lady and Mary last night, it's still worse what happened to me. I can't cry anymore because my tears are running out."Lady, Mary, and Grace frowned. They wondered even more, what could be worse than being

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
