Reign of the Heir Chapter 42
Without any command from anyone, an invited guest interrupted the host's question before Ben could answer it."Kick him out!"That one sentence made David felt very threatened. What's more, the next shout was followed by the other guests.'Have they gone mad?' David thought as he gritted his teeth.Now, the order to kick David out of the auditorium echoed. David became even more intimidated. In his mind were all the bad things that might happen to him, if the incident of his expulsion from the charity event actually happened.As far as he knew, no one had ever been kicked out of a charity event organized by the Roodenburg family. So, he had a good chance of being the first. That meant, the news of his expulsion would very likely become the hottest topic in the community. That would mean that everyone in town would give her a bad name.On top of that, the difficulty in applying for a new job would be absolute for him. Then, how would he tell his parents about that?'I've been hiding m

As a result of his own actions, David received several kicks from the guards. In pain, he finally cried out for mercy. "Alright… Alright… I-I'll go," he whimpered."Good! Now stand up!" The guard had no more patience. Without waiting for David to get up, he tugged on the man's shirt collar. Judging from the way he treated David, he did intend to drag David out."Wait, sir.""What else? Do you want to get beaten up again huh?""No, no, I'm already almost dead. Forgive me and let me hold my girlfriend and we’ll leave this place together. I can't leave her."‘Damn bastard!’ Sophie looked away. She tried hard not to hit herself on the forehead.This was truly a nightmare for her! She had been holding back and trying not to get involved in the ruckus her boyfriend had created. But David didn't even give her a chance to escape greater embarrassment."Tell me, where's your girlfriend? Let us drag her out. You can mourn each other out there."Sophie swallowed, but she tried to remain calm. If

The charity event at Greenroad Villa was over. The place was deserted as the invited guests had gone home. The same was true for Jack, who drove Audrey to her place. They were laughing all the way as they recalled many things that happened during the charity night."You really taught them all a valuable lesson." Audrey gave both thumbs up."I just sat and watched. Everything that happened to them was their own karma.""But you're so, so cool." Audrey looked closely at Jack who was driving.Jack chuckled at that. "Believe me, you're probably the only one who said that to me.""Really? That's so weird. They're missing out on something so precious." Audrey propped up her chin, looking at Jack's face more intensely."Don't overdo it. What they did was very natural. I don't really stand out. Everything is normal."Audrey's heart melted. She had never met such a humble rich man. In fact, Jack was not only rich, but a super conglomerate. "Can I be your girlfriend?" murmured Audrey in a very

Sophie didn't think Jack would be able to withstand a fist from the thug. It was obvious that the thug's body was very muscular.Not only that, but Jack's facial expression also looked relaxed, as if he didn't have any difficulty in gripping the thug's hand. In contrast, the black-shirted thug's face looked complicated. The veins on his neck were sticking out as a sign that he was exerting all his strength to escape Jack's grip.BAM!Sophie's shock had not yet worn off, and her eyes quickly widened as her hands moved to her mouth at what had happened.A hard fist had landed on the cheek of the black-shirted thug, sending him staggering. The man winced in pain holding the tip of his bleeding lip. Not only that, he even felt that Jack's punch had displaced his jawbone."Bastard!" cursed the other thug after a moment's stunned look at his injured partner. He raised his fist to retaliate. However, Jack's hand swiftly grabbed his wrist, exactly the same as what he had done to the thug in

In the end, humanity made Jack stroke Sophie's head too. He let her hold him until she calmed down."I'm sorry," Sophie said when she realized what she'd done. She quickly let go of his embrace. Sophie wiped away her tears. She looked down in shame. The man she had despised had been the hero who saved her."I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't helped me. Thank you so much for still caring about me. I thought you hated me. That's why you appointed me as David's girlfriend in the auditorium earlier."Jack didn't say anything. He took off his jacket to put it on Sophie's body.Sophie raised her eyes. She looked at Jack's face intently. Somehow, her ex-boyfriend looked very handsome. 'Has the dust been covering my eyes all this time that I can't see Jack's good looks? He's more handsome than David. Why did I only realize it after so long?' Sophie wanted to hit herself on the forehead because she felt so stupid. She didn't know if what she was saying was honest or if she
Reign of the Heir Chapter 47
Today, Jack carried out his duties as usual. He returned to King Pizza at noon after delivering a customer's pizza order. He had just entered the shop when someone called out loudly, "Jack!"Jack furrowed his brow. He saw a woman in a knee-length shirt and skirt sitting in one of the customer seats. She was waving at Jack.Jack stood in his place. He was trying to remember who the woman who greeted him was. The woman stood up and stomped her heels. It looked like a woman who was upset, but she had a big smile on her face. "Hey, why are you still there? Come quickly, Jack!" She was so excited.Jack couldn't remember who she was. He walked over and smiled at the other customers he passed. Afterward, Jack bowed respectfully to the strange woman as if he was dealing with a shop customer. "I'm sorry, have we met, Miss?"The woman covered her mouth in laughter. "Miss? Don't call me that, Jack."Jack scratched his head that wasn't itchy. The woman's demeanor was like she had known him for

Jack still stood staring ahead. He smiled as he was pleased at Elena's drastic change. He recognized that she looked much more attractive than when she was in college. In addition, Jack was also happy to know the success that his classmate had achieved.However, a few seconds passed, Jack's eyes suddenly widened. "Oh no, I have to go!" he whispered before running to the back.Because he was too focused on looking back, Jack did not see Claire who was walking. As a result, a collision was inevitable."Ouch!" Claire hissed while holding her arm."Claire, I'm sorry.""Why are you running inside the shop, Jack? And, your face looks like you've just seen a ghost. Did a girl ask you to marry her because you got her pregnant?""Claire!" Jack wanted to snap his fingers on Claire's forehead who was now laughing. "Look, if anyone is looking for me, just tell them I'm not at the shop. Understood, Miss Manager?""Hey, who's coming?" The question evaporated without an answer, as Jack had already f
Reign of the Heir Chapter 49
Sophie knew Jack was a loyal man. That's why, when Claire confessed to being Jack's girlfriend, instead of being disappointed or upset, she smiled broadly. If he had been dating the manager of First Style, he couldn't have been dating the manager of King Pizza. 'Apparently Jack lied to me that night. He must have done it on purpose to make me jealous.' Sophie was excited inside. Why?She didn't know, she still didn't understand why she should be happy when she knew Jack was single."Where's Jack?" asked Sophie for the third or the fourth time. "Are you idiot? I already said that he's not here. Why don't you understand my words?"Sophie didn't care about Claire's increasingly rude remarks. Instead, she became very excited. "If you don't tell me, no problem. I'll look for him myself." Sophie walked casually past Claire. "Jack, where are you?""This woman is really testing my patience!" Without saying anything more to Sophie, Claire grabbed the woman's shirt from behind and dragged he

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

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
