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

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

Since she still hadn't seen Jack yet, Sophie decided to go to his boarding house. At this time of night, there was no way Jack would be out.It was her second visit. Sophie remembered that on the first visit, when they were still dating, she had cursed and scolded Jack for making her go to such a dingy place. She refused to go in and chose to wait at the front of the boarding house. Sophie even vowed never to visit Jack's boarding house again. Now, things have changed. No one knew how, but Sophie no longer cared about her former disgust. She also ignored her shyness, awkwardness, and so on. All that matters is that she got to meet Jack! As for why she couldn't wait until tomorrow if someone asked her later, Sophie would think about it later too.Now, she was standing at the door of Jack's boarding house. She smiled widely at the many changes in the place. It looked much better.Somehow Sophie thought that Jack had changed everything since breaking up with her.'Is he really having

The hotel is popular with many people because it is equipped with a mall area, restaurants, a super magnificent swimming pool, and other facilities that pamper its visitors.Someone must be a member at the hotel in order to enjoy the various facilities available. Another option to get in is through invitations from members with a minimum level of Gold.There are four levels of membership, starting from ordinary members, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and the highest is Diamond. Each has different rights and conditions.Unfortunately, just to become a Gold level member is not an easy thing. Someone who gets it is usually an important person with a high social status.Now, Jack was standing in the hotel courtyard to attend a reunion invitation held by his college classmates. He looked casual wearing a gray t-shirt and jeans. A black leather sling bag also complemented him.Actually, this was not the first time for
Reign of the Heir Chapter 52
In order to avoid a similar situation that occurred on the night of his engagement, Jack decided to walk down to the hotel lobby by himself. However, on his way, the guards continued to insult him."If Mr. Lechter finds out that you stepped on the marble in his hotel, I'm pretty sure he'll point a revolver at your head! Then, boom! Your head explodes! Hahaha," the guard said as he approached the main entrance."Wait, are you referring to Mr. Robert Lechter?" Jack stopped in his tracks and asked."Who else would it be? Everyone knows he's the owner of StarIn Shine Hotel. He's notoriously cold and doesn't hesitate to commit crimes when necessary. So, if you still want to live, get out of this hotel. Get out!"Jack continued walking until he crossed the threshold of the door. Another guard was waiting for them there. "How did it go?" the other guard asked. The guard who was with Jack shook his head with a mocking smile at his colleague's question. "Just as his appearance suggests, he's
Reign of the Heir Chapter 53
Jack returned to the third floor with Robert. When the guard standing in front of the restaurant saw him, he immediately panicked. Before a major disaster occurred, the guard took the initiative to approach the boss. He bowed low before Robert. "Mr. Lechter, I'm sorry. This is indeed my fault as well. None of this should have happened." The guard grabbed Jack's arm. This clearly surprised Robert. The guard said again, "I shouldn't have let him set foot on this floor. I know, I should have acted quickly by preventing him from getting out of the elevator. But, sir, don't worry. I will take care of this rascal now."Robert almost fainted at the insolent words of his employee. With great difficulty he apologized and showed his anger to the two guards at the main door, now the other guards were acting up again.Robert didn't even dare to look Jack in the eye. How had his errand boy so brazenly grabbed Young Master Roodenburg's arm?Even though Jack's face remained calm, Robert felt his

The sound of loud, vibrant music burst out as Jack opened the door to the restaurant. It seemed that no one had noticed Jack's arrival yet. He looked around, observing his old classmates. Jack smiled as he said, "Hello everyone!"Several people who heard Jack's words, turned their heads towards the door. One man then raised his hand. The music immediately stopped. People turned their heads to the right and left to see what happened.The man who had raised his hand shouted, "Jack! It's Jack Marshall!"Everyone followed the direction of the man who called Jack. They stood still for a moment staring at Jack who was still standing in the doorway.Jack smiled. He closed the door before stepping forward. "Sorry I'm late."The atmosphere was noisy again when some people approached Jack. Some of them gave Jack a warm hug or simply shook his hand before returning to their places.While the rest of the people remained standing where they were. The people seemed to be keeping their distance from

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
