Reign of the Heir Chapter 10
Monday night, Jack was seen standing in front of the mirror in his boarding house. Ross had just installed the mirror a few days ago along with the other furniture. Jack scratched his forehead, which wasn't itchy. Again and again he grunted in annoyance. Actually, the man was ready to leave for the BlueLux Hotel for the meeting. However, the shadow of that dark night couldn't leave his head. Especially after his gaze shifted to the white coat Ross had hung on the wall. A breath escaped his mouth as well. Even though the suit had been cleaned of blood and drink stains, it didn't erase anything in his mind. Jack smiled bitterly. He held his cheeks as he continued to stare at his reflection in the mirror. Smack! He closed his eyes remembering Sophie slapping him hard in front of the King Pizza patrons. "No, that abomination will never happen to me again. It's all in the past. Even if I meet Sophie later, it won't affect me at all. She's not my person anymore." Jack linked the butto

Sophie stopped in her tracks when she noticed a very familiar man getting into a scuffle with one of the guests. Her eyebrows knitted together as she watched the man. And, when the security guard was about to pull the man away, Sophie’s eyes immediately widened."Jack? What's that punk doing here?"Sophie walked quickly towards her ex. Her chest felt so full of anger that her blood seemed to almost boil. She remembered how Jack had hurt David. 'I warned him, but he came to make trouble!' Sophie clenched her hands itching to slap Jack.When she was one step behind Jack, her hand quickly pulled Jack's collar so hard that he staggered."Sophie," Jack hissed after turning around.SLAP!Sophie unceremoniously rewarded her ex with a hard slap, again!"Asshole! Why are you here?" Before the question was answered, Sophie already had her own answer. "Oh, I know, you must want to seek revenge, right? You came here to make a scene, didn't you? You brat!" Sophie grabbed Jack's shirt collar to sh

"He's the one we've been waiting for."Everyone's mouths gaped open enough to fit a goose egg in. Their minds were united in concluding one thing. However, everyone remained silent until Matthew actually said it."And he was late because Steve Shatner presumptuously told him to do something before. Are you tired of doing business on the Roodenburg Highway, Mr. SHATNER?"Obviously, all businessmen wanted the opportunity to do business in that area. It wasn't easy for Steve to get in there. "Is that mean…, h-he is Young Master from Roodenburg family?" Steve asked to reassure himself. From any angle, it seemed impossible that the guy who used to deliver pizza orders at his shop would suddenly become the successor of a conglomerate family."Absolutely!"Matthew's loud reply almost made Steve go limp. How could the man he was insulting be the one he wanted to meet the most?'That's the end of me!Too bad Steve didn't have time to pass out. He had to make amends for his fatal mistake befor
Reign of the Heir Chapter 13
After her meeting with Jack last night, Sophie couldn't stop thinking about him. It definitely wasn't because she had feelings for Jack. Even when she was Jack's girlfriend, there wasn't the slightest bit of love from her for the pizza delivery boy.The annoying memory that couldn't leave Sophie's head was nothing but ingrained hatred. It was because of Jack that she was demoted from the position of hotel manager. If only Jack hadn't come and messed up last night, she would have gotten credit from Michael for the smooth running of the Roodenburg Highway business meeting. More than that, she would have had the opportunity to meet the grandson of the richest man in the country.'With my beauty, I can definitely impress Young Master Roodenburg. But that brat ruined everything! Not only did he make Mr. Michael send me home, he made me lose my promotion and my position!'Sophie clenched her fists under the table before letting out a long breath. She was pensive again. She was currently eat

"Are you deaf or something? I said it out loud, that start today you are a servant. If you object, you can write a letter of resignation. Of course I will immediately grant it WITHOUT severance pay!"James tried hard not to faint. His eyes were wide. He thought hard. 'There's no way I'm quitting King Pizza. Here I'm earning a lot of money from a job that's not hard at all. I can relax during working hours, I can scold the employees without retaliation, I can inflict any punishment on them. I can earn extra money very easily by deducting their salaries from the mistakes I make.'James swallowed hard. He was breathing hard even though he had been standing still."How about it James? Are you going to obey my orders or get out of here?"James turned to the employees. His jaw hardened as many of the employees seemed to be expecting him to quit King Pizza. 'I'm not just going to let them go!"Yes sir, I will." James bowed low.Steve laughed. "Good, good.""But sir, who's going to replace

"I-I'll get some gloves first." After all, James wasn't willing to get his hands dirty with that disgusting garbage.Jack spluttered. "Is your body that weak? Come on Mr. James, you won't get sick just from touching the trash directly. Besides, the supply of gloves for cleaning the toilets ran out two months ago. Have you forgotten, you yourself banned employees from using gloves to clean the toilets. You said that gloves should only be used in the kitchen. The shop has provided antiseptic soap and paper towels to clean hands."'What a jerk! This loser is a real asshole!' James could only curse inwardly. He never thought he would be in this position. That's why the only thing on his mind was how to cut the shop's operating costs so that the budgeted funds could go into his own pocket.James pressed his lips together as he reached out to pick up the trash from the barrel. He even held his breath in disgust.James started his work from a normal garbage can. He was relieved to see that i

Jack parked James' car in the Big Roodgrup parking lot. He smiled remembering how the BlueLux hotel guard had intercepted him to get in that night. The same thing would have happened to him if he had come to this big company on a bike. In this place, the security guards even stood guard at the front gate. Let alone getting into the building, parking a bike in the company premises was difficult.'It's a good thing Claire took these things from James, otherwise I would've made Matthew run to the front gate.'Jack got out of the car. He looked at the huge and tall Big Roodgrup building. He didn't know how many floors the building had, but it was all his.Jack closed his eyes before taking a deep breath. "The air here is so fresh.""Of course!"Jack turned his head back to see who it was that interrupted him. And he was right, it was Sophie's annoying boyfriend. He exhaled with a sour face."Hey, you said the air was fresh, why are you so upset?" David walked over to Jack. "Oh, I know, it

David seemed to recognize the voice. His face turned pale as he heard it. "Who is it? He sounds so angry."David turned around. He gulped at the sight of the man who was hurrying towards him. Then, something unexpected happened.SMACK!Jack covered his mouth with both hands. He hissed as he saw David's cheeks turn red from the hard slap. "That must have hurt.""Why did you hit me, Sir?""You're still asking! You left your job just like that. Where did you go?"The angry man was the head of the personnel department. He was tall and bulky with dark-colored skin."I-I went out to greet Young Master Roodenburg.""What?!" The man's voice rose. "Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are? Only the correspondence staff and you think you can welcome Young Master?!"David turned to Jack to see his expression. David's face looked very troubled. He was trying so hard to make Jack feel insecure."Mr. Matthew even stayed in his room to work. Now, return to your room. Finish your work if

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.

"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

Greenroad Villa was very busy today. 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
