Return Of The Exiled Heir Chapter 021
“What’s in the wrapped gift?” Rebecca asked with interest to know what else Dominic’s father sent. Grace unwrapped the box with curiosity as well. “Oh my! Look! It’s a silver necklace.” Grace couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. “It looks quite expensive.” Looking at the intricate and exquisite craftsmanship, it was obviously not cheap. First, Dominic helped her pull strings to get the invitations, and now he even asked his father to give her such an expensive gift. Wasn’t this too much?But before she could refuse, Dominic spoke up in admiration, as if he knew beforehand.“I knew it! This necklace indeed suits you perfectly.”“You should wear it tonight at the banquet. It will make a stunning impression and turn heads.” Dominic suggested eagerly.Inwardly, he couldn’t help but praise his father for being so helpful.He had never asked his father to help him prepare a gift for Grace, yet he did it!Bravo!“Good idea!” Rebecca agreed whole-heartedly.“Grace, do you see how cons

“Haven’t your parents taught you to speak with reason and evidence? Don’t you know you’re praising the wrong person? ” Edward questioned indifferently. If Rebecca wasn’t Grace’s friend, he really wouldn't bother with her. What a brainless fool!“Am I wrong?! Isn't the evidence obvious?!”Rebecca was furious. How dare a useless person like him question her?“Dominic helped us secure invites to the charity banquet that Mr. Albert’s daughter is hosting. How about you? What did you do to help?” Rebecca answered while staring down at him condescendingly. “I’m sure you didn’t know about the banquet, talk more of helping us. Rubbish!”“How are you sure it was him that sent the gifts and invitation cards? Have you even checked and confirmed?” Edward sneered coldly. “And Grace, I think you should confirm the truth before thanking someone else.” Edward suggested as he turned to look at Grace.“What are you talking about?” Grace asked, confused. Who else if not Dominic would send the g

Edward shook his head with disappointment as he left the Carter’s villa.He hadn’t expected Grace to be so unable to distinguish truth from falsehood.She didn’t even bother to verify it.And under the instigation of the two fools beside her, she condemned him outright.Alas! What use was there to give further explanations?She wouldn’t believe him anyway.With these thoughts in mind, Edward returned to Golden Homes.Golden Homes was the name of the most luxurious villa area in this region.It was a typical wealthy neighborhood.Exquisitely decorated with picturesque surroundings, and even featured artificial waterfalls.And in order to ensure that the residents had the ultimate enjoyment and the freshest air, the developer had allocated corresponding forest areas and artificial lakes to each villa.Therefore, the price of each villa here started at least at one billion, making it inaccessible for the average.Upon reaching Golden Homes, Edward hiked halfway up the mountain and arrive

$200,000?Did she really think he was that cheap?With an indifferent expression, Edward asked, “Why do you have such low expectations for our marriage, huh?”“Marriage? Which is merely guaranteed by a piece of paper?” Her voice rose to a pitch that could shatter glass. “Oh sure, keep dreaming! You can’t take advantage of me. Never!”Edward rolled his eyes.“And what if I don’t accept your offer?”Grace was exasperated.She just knew it!There was no easy way to deal with this rascal.Grace’s face turned a blazing shade of crimson as she glared at him.The nerve of this man!He thought he was the prize, but he was nobody.“I won’t let you share my bed. No matter what! You’ll sleep on the cold floor every night!” She spat. “So why don’t you just take the money? It’s good for both of us.”“Alright.” Edward agreed.He only accepted because he saw how desperate she was.“Really?”“Yes, but it will cost you more than $200,000.”Grace was annoyed. “What are you talking about?”“Even if

However, the least expected thing happened.Edward shook his head and said, “Sorry, Grandpa George, I don’t think I would do that. You see, Grace and I just got married, and it was rather too quick. We haven’t even got along yet. If we live together, it would be uncomfortable for both of us.”Grandpa George asked in confusion, “What do you suggest?”“We need time to get to know each other, and once we have, we will consider living together.”“Besides, as a man, shouldn’t I be the one to provide Grace with a home, instead of her providing for me?”Grandpa George rubbed his nose and nodded, “You’re right! I wasn’t considerate enough, after all.”Although Grandpa George was a bit disappointed that his request wasn’t fulfilled, he agreed that Edward did make a valid point.Moreover, even to his surprise, Edward showed his sincerity by proactively offering to provide for Grace, instead of freeloading.Good boy! Grandpa George couldn’t help but give Edward a ‘thumbs up’ inwardly.“Well the

“Grandpa, I — I think there is no —”What reasonable excuse would she give her grandfather?Before she could think of a suitable idea, Edward suddenly spoke up.“Grandpa George, I appreciate your kindness but I don’t want to be Grace’ assistant.”“For now, I’ll help her whenever I can, though.”Grandpa George also felt that his demand was too forceful.Forcibly insisting might not yield sweet results, and could easily trigger resistance from both sides.“Alright, as you both wish, then.”Finally, he gave up insisting and tilted his head, “Please help her if you have the time.”“Of course! You can count on me.” Edward nodded.All he had to do was make a phone call and the Carter family would be selected.Grace wouldn’t even need to become a candidate first in order to become a member.Easy peasy!Grandpa George smiled. “That is great.”Meanwhile, Grace was dumbfounded.Did Edward really save her from embarrassment?What a surprise!Maybe he wasn’t as useless as she believed.And even i

Grandpa George thanked Edward and retired to his room.Meanwhile, Grace overheard their conversation.She couldn’t help but frown at Edward’s shameless boasting.How could he undermine the value of the Ironclad membership?No big deal?Seriously?What effort had he made to assist her?Did he obtain the invitation to the banquet for her? No!Did he have any connections in the city? No!Her blood boiled with anger.The bumpkin could never stop boasting of his imaginary abilities.But he would not lift a finger to help her.Even if he wanted to, how could he?What would a man from the forest know?He would only assist in bringing shame to her family.Argh!She walked up to him in anger.“I can see you have improved your deceptive acts. It is indeed your talent.”Edward narrowed his eyes at her, “What do you mean?”“You lied to Grandpa that you will help me.” She scoffed. “What can you possibly do?”“Will you obtain the Ironclad membership by boasting of your great skills?”“Or are you s

Grace’s parents appeared immediately after she left.It seemed they had been waiting to give Edward a piece of their mind.Such a way to give him A CHANCE.They glared at Edward in a condescending manner.“Don’t stare at the back of my daughter like a toad lusting after a swan.”Mrs. Carter scrunched up her nose in disgust. ”“She is a woman you’ll never have!”“Oh really? But she is already mine, isn’t she?”Edward’s lips curled slightly into a half smile.“So what? Don’t get too cocky! My daughter will divorce you sooner or later!” She spat. “She is clearly out of your league.”“Only young talents like Dominic deserve my daughter.”“That’s true. Unlike you, Dominic is capable and renowned. Whereas you’re a petty beggar dreaming of a throne,” Mr. Carter added coldly.“No one welcomes you here in this family.”“And if you have enough dignity, leave before you become a stain of shit.”Edward scoffed coldly. “Be thankful you’re my in-laws and I have respect for your family.”“As for

Before Dominic could respond, Jackson chipped in angrily.“Mr. Know It All, what did you do? Did you even try to help?” He asked Edward.“You almost got us into more trouble with your stupid mouth.”“Dominic was the one who scared off Black Jack, so what are you saying?”Dominic’s eyes bulged.Black Jack?!They had been speaking of Black Jack ever since?The same notorious underworld crime boss everybody knew?No wonder he felt the man looked fierce and brutal!He was suddenly happy that he arrived late.And hadn’t made any rash decisions.Phew!However, he couldn’t help but wonder when he gained such an influence to scare off Black Jack.He was definitely the important guest Jack talked about.Or who else would it be?The bumpkin?Haha!Perhaps, it was his family’s influence that worked.He smiled, “I’m sure Black Jack wasn’t scared of me. It must be my family’s connection. I do not wish to take credit.”“Oh Dominic, don’t be so generous.” Rebecca cried.“I mean it, my family is quit

Meanwhile, Black Jack was enraged at the person who had spoken.The man dared to be arrogant to him.He even threatened to deal with him.Haa!He growled angrily.He decided to see the man for himself.However, when his gaze fell on Edward, his expression changed.He was instantly stunned.Impossible!Was he not the same man they warned them not to mess with?Even though he didn’t know who Edward was, his boss had shown him his picture.A couple of days ago, his boss had gathered all his subordinates.He warned them to steer clear of the man in the photo.Or God himself wouldn’t help them if they messed up.And the man was right here in the same room with him?He gulped.He had fucked up greatly.What excuse would he give his boss for offending the man they cautioned them about?He stole a glance at Edward and shivered.He had repeatedly offended him.Cold sweats broke out on his forehead as he thought of his punishments.Oh! He was in trouble!“What’s up? Are you having a party?”At

Just as Grace and the others gasped with shock, Edward quickly caught Grandpa George from falling to the ground.Actually, he had anticipated the fall.Grandpa George was an old man.How could he endure the terrible news of what his grandson had done, especially, given his remorseless attitude?Edward gently laid him down on the sofa.“What are we going to do?” Mrs. Carter cried out.At this point, everyone including Jackson was panicking.Grandpa George had fainted.Now who would control the situation?Meanwhile, Black Jack smiled menacingly.“Enough dilly-dallying, pay up now! I will either leave here with my $1 billion or your head, Jackson!” The Carters were dumbfounded and terrified.Their total assets barely exceed 2 billion dollars, and their liquid funds were less than 800 million dollars. Where are they going to come up with 1 billion cash all of a sudden?And even if they did, and compensated him with 1 billion dollars, their family would definitely suffer bankruptcy .The

Even Grandpa George knew Black Jack.His face paled.He cleared his throat and spoke in a serious tone.“Lord Jack, please what has happened? My family has not caused any trouble.”Black Jack snorted and frowned. “Jackson owes me $1 billion and he is yet to repay it.”“Jackson? That’s impossible.” Grandpa George responded.A WHOOPING 1 BILLION DOLLARS?He was taken aback and nearly fainted.The rest of the family exchanged glances in shock.“Impossible?” Black Jack barked out in anger. “He gambled excessively at my casino, racked up debts, and engaged multiple women on credit!”“What? That—that can’t be.” Grandpa George was stunned.“That must be a misunderstanding!”“Bullshit! I never joke!” Black Jack’s voice thundered across the room. “Why don’t you ask your grandson?”“Since he dared to borrow money for gambling and women, then he shouldn’t lack the courage to admit it.”Black Jack laughed slyly.Grandpa George’s face darkened and he turned to Jackson in anger.He hoped that it

“I can see you’re as foolish as you look.”Edward chuckled casually.This angered Jackson.“Hand over the card, you lazy rat!”“Or what?” Edward asked, folding his hands.He was amused by Jackson’s audacity.“Or I will nail you to the wall myself.”. Jackson threatened.Edward scanned Jackson up and down.He smiled coyly. “Do you think I’m scared of your little threat?”“Give me the card or I’ll break your legs here and now!” Jackson sneered.“You? Break my legs?” Edward mocked. “Don’t you think it will be the other way round?”“You must have a death wish.” Jackson retorted, clenching his fist.“I am a big shot in Crownmore and I have connections everywhere, especially in the underworld.”“And?” Edward replied sarcastically.Jackson narrowed his eyes.He felt insulted by Edward’s attitude.Who was he to talk to him like that?“Watch your words, Edward.” He warned.“You just mark my words! They will turn you into minced meat without breaking a sweat! ”“Jackson, stop that nonsense!”Ju

“Who does he think he is?” Mrs. Carter asked her husband, fuming.Edward had walked out on them.Unbelievable!The piece of shit was suddenly acting high and mighty.“How dare he!”“How could he extort our daughter?!”She couldn’t suppress her anger.Her eyes bulged as she spoke.She didn’t believe Edward would have the guts, even in her wildest dreams.The riff-raff was even more disgraceful than she thought!A common thief!“Are you going to let him get away with this?”“He should be dealt with!”She urged her husband to take action.Edward couldn’t take $1.2 million from their daughter.Never!That was their money!“He needs to be taught a lesson!”“The Carter family cannot be disrespected by that peasant!”“And I demand we get the money back!”She also blamed Grandpa George in her mind.He accepted the trash into their family.And married him to their daughter.If he hadn’t, their family would never have been burdened by the petty thief!Mr. Carter nodded his head in agreement.“
