"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

Its grandeur was a vision to behold, captivating and enchanting all who laid eyes on it.At night, the lights that adorn the villa make the view even more beautiful.

However, they won't be able to even if they hand over suitcases of money. The reason is that the villa is not for rent. Mr. Tom Roodenburg built the place specifically for the Roodenburg family and charity events only.The charity night itself was not attended by just anyone. Those who came received special invitations because they were recorded as having a lo

Jack's jaw hardened as he turned to the voice of the troublemaker. 'Damn!' he muttered to himself in annoyance.Jack looked away for a moment. It wasn't David's cursing that upset him, but the presence of those people that could threaten tonight's beautiful moment. 'Why did they have to come now?’Swearing to anything, Jack was immune to any kind of cursing. He had become accustomed to it long before he even knew his true identity. However, tonight was different. He had invited Audrey to accompany him, and he couldn't help but wonder if she had dressed up all pretty and elegant just to subject herself to the insults of those people.Despite his usual immunity, Jack felt uneasy as he led Audrey into the gathering. He couldn't understand why he had to meet with those annoying people again, especially when they were all gathered in full force, making it all the more of a nuisance."Jack, we can go if you want. And if it needed, we can run!" Audrey tried to give a solution after seeing

"You don't believe me?!" David was apoplectic at the sight of Jack. "Look, one little scratch you cause on this car can cost a lot of money to fix at the car repair shop. That's why you should never put your smelly back on a car that doesn't belong to you! Even if you work for the rest of your life, you won't be able to buy a rearview mirror from this car.""Wow!" Jack held his head. In his heart he continued, 'You'd faint if you knew this car was mine!David came closer to Jack. He grabbed the man by the collar before whispering, "Even though you're close to Mr. Matthew, don't think you can do anything. Look, Mr. Matthew is just a subordinate of Young Master Roodenburg. Wait until I meet the Young Master. I swear I'll make you beg at my feet for daring to humiliate and work me the other day. You piece of trash!"David pushed Jack still with bulging eyes. Then, he pointed his index finger, "Watch out! Don't you dare cause trouble at this charity event, or I'll make Young Master Rooden
Reign of the Heir Chapter 32
The charity event at Greenroad Villa was held in the grand auditorium. A large stage was at the very front, looking stunning with an elegant design. The dominance of gold color further enhanced the luxurious impression. Moreover, premium red cushioned chairs were lined up neatly in tiers.All the guests were mesmerized by the beauty of the auditorium at Greenroad Villa! It was one of the best auditoriums in the country.David, Sophie and their friends sat side by side in the same row of seats. It was quite far from the stage. Jack smiled before pointing, "Over there!" With the help of the guards, it wasn't difficult for Jack to find David, Sophie, and their friends' entourage among the many guests attending the event.Audrey nodded. She and Jack walked quickly to the group of troublemakers."Hey! You can't sit here! Go and sit somewhere else!" Lady ambushed with a scolding when she saw Jack and Audrey sitting right behind her.No less surprised at Jack and Audrey's presence, Mary re

Seeing an opportunity to embarrass Jack, Sophie didn't want to waste it. During her time as his girlfriend, she had never seen Jack play the piano.This was no cheap instrument!Let alone buying a piano, Jack didn't even have enough money to take piano lessons. So, was he dreaming and talking out of his mind?'All he can do is deliver pizzas. There's no way he can play the piano. You want to be stylish and impress your girlfriend? You're making a big mistake bragging around me!'Sophie was 1000 percent sure that Jack was lying!So, after the applause stopped to signal the end of the little pianist's performance, she prepared to raise her hand in case the host invited guests to showcase their musical talents.And she was right!Sophie's prediction was totally right!The host did exactly what she thought she would.So, Sophie quickly took action. Not only did she raise her hand, she also stood up to make sure the host could see her clearly."Yes, that pretty lady over there!" The woman

The guests began to whisper about Jack not soon playing the piano. This made Audrey even more uneasy. She bit her lip. She wanted to stand up and come forward to pat Jack on the shoulder and ask him to come down, telling him not to push himself.Not only Audrey, but even Matthew looked nervous. He didn't stop looking at Jack, wanting to come to him too. However, it was obviously impossible because he still had to maintain Jack's identity.'Young Master.' That was all Matthew could say. Even that was without a voice.Ting!Jack finally pressed a key."Hahaha, that's all he can do. A cat can even make more sounds if it walks on the piano keys. I'm pretty sure the next one will be funnier!" David mocked again and got a happy smile from Sophie and her friends.They all had the same desire, to humiliate Jack! Seeing Jack being laughed at would definitely be the most beautiful and exciting sight.'Young Master, I beg you, don't push yourself,' Audrey thought to herself as she clasped her ha

"That's right. I work at King Pizza. Have you ever been there?""People say the food and drinks are good there, but I've never been.""Please bring your son along. We pride ourselves in providing the best service to our customers, wouldn't you agree, Mr. Steve Shatner?" Jack wanted to show his appreciation to Stave for doing his job well by kicking James out of King Pizza so pleasantly, and making Claire to be the manager.Steve Shatner who was sitting among the other invited guests immediately stood up. He bowed very low and said emotionally, "Thank you, thank you."Steve obviously didn't expect that Young Master Roodenburg would still be so kind to him after what happened before. He felt very happy that his shop was promoted in front of the invited guests. It was a great gift that would definitely have a great impact on his business."Hahaha, Mr. Steve it seems like your courier ran the promotion very well." The host's words made people laugh. "I wonder how Young Master Roodenburg r

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
