Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 12
A broad but faint smile lit on Brenda's face as she anticipated Mrs Reid's response.At the same time there was a consistent stomping of foot against the ground from no other person but Morphie, waiting for nothing else but a response from Mrs Reid.She wasn't ready to lose this opportunity, all she needed was a sole positive response of yes from Mrs Reid.Mrs Reid leaned back into her seat, with strokes of her fingers at consequent times against her lips. "Another chance you say." She straightened herself above the black leather seat, rested on her chin and told."What assurance would you tender to prove your capability on the next opportunity?""Mom! Are you really considering giving her another c…" with a dismissive wave, Mrs Reid stops Morphie's ranting midway.Fuming with dissatisfaction, he had creases lined across his brow, his arms across his chest…Ignoring him, Mrs. Reid's returned to her previous question. "Brenda! What is the assurance you've got to prove your capability?"

Derek's face burned in displeasure, as he trailed her walk away, she was always seeking for the slightest opportunity to abuse him. When did having a siesta suddenly become a crime, or make him look lazy and idle?Getting a job! That was so certain, he would, he was making preparations towards that already he thought to himself.How would he tell her that her mother was responsible for his joblessness all along? If he wasn't an heir to an important group somewhere, he would have kept on suffering hoping that someday, fate would shine on him when somebody somewhere was deliberately in charge of his failures.Nevertheless, he followed Brenda into the room. "Babe, Brenda, why have you changed so much? Each passing day you despise m…"Right before the mirror, she tried zipping down her dress, her features were just perfect as always, body shape intact, flawless face, perfectly straight brows and her blond hair which kept falling across her shoulders down to her waist.Despite their suffe

A smile appeared across Derek's face, there was nothing else that could make Morphie scale through he thought.The bet had been made, It was time for him to get his pound of flesh, it was high time Morphie had a taste of his own cake.All he had always done to bully him while they lived together. "Dust my shoes, do my laundry, clean my room, go sleep in the garage, wash my toilets' ' all this and more were Morphie's attitude.Even if it were just a day, then it was so good to have a feeling of being dominant over your previous oppressor."Morphie, it is time to fulfill our bet, it is time.." Derek retorted with a smile.Morphie shrank on his seat, never had he thought that Brenda could strike the deal for Reid group, he had taken it for granted and swore within himself that it never would happen.He instead planned to make Derek suffer at his feet, but now it was the reverse.I would never kneel! He squealed inwardly, holding himself in high esteem.The meeting room was quiet, everyon

The moment Mrs Reid mounted the podium, Derek looked at Brenda, with a smile. He couldn't help but admit within himself that the lady he married was such a beauty.Her straight, pointed and long nose was quite unique, not to talk of the lashes which were perfectly fitted and her hair, wavy and curled as ever.Even with child, she was magnificent enough to be referred to as a beauty goddess.It could be said that God made extra effort in creating her, and he was lucky to have fallen in love with her."Are you ready for this?" He asked the moment their gaze met.She chuckled and said. "Yea sure, I am. Just a bit of nervousness running through my veins." She flagged some air to her face with her right palm."You will be fine, okay! Can I ask you a favor?"Brenda had all the smiles plastered on her flawless one of which lightened Derek's heart to see her that way."After this ceremony, can we have some time to ourselves?... Just you and I?" He spilled without mincing a word.Brenda's lips

Brenda had been literally down without speaking to Derek since the previous night. He left her lying in bed, and upon his arrival, she was in the same spot except for the obvious fact from her change of clothes that she had taken a shower.She had been sulking till noon when he arrived. "Babe, are you still mad at me?" He voiced to alert her of his arrival.Yet she refused him a thousand words, while she put all her effort and attention to the phone in her hand.He moved closer, sat beside her. Her sweet fragrance whiffed past his nose that he was forced to have some intimate moment with her, which he couldn't help to hold back when he rubbed her hair, but she restricted him from going further.Shifted to the other side of the bed to give him some space."I only wanted you to get your place back, they've thrashed you enough, but I never knew it would turn out this way." He apologized further, yet she said nothing.At the height of it, he stood to his feet and said. "What would you t

Derek dashed towards his home to share the news with his wife, he just couldn't wait to tell the news.Nothing suits me better than having a job. He said inwardly till he made his way home.However, while he walked, approaching home, he saw a scene which caught his interest, then he had no choice but to watch from far.It was nothing more than a scene between his wife and a stranger. The stranger seemed familiar, but he couldn't make out where he had seen the stranger.It was probably one of those whom Mrs Reid sent to ask Brenda out, while she tells her to divorce him. As such, he needed to know his wife's reaction.He hid out of limelight behind a vehicle with his family heart pounding really hard, all gestures of the visitor seemed to irritate him and also anger him."What the heck does he think he's doing?" Derek gritted his teeth, the moment he saw the stranger bring out a bunch of roses with the intent to hand it over to Brenda."Brenda, I want you to love me with all of you… we

After tearing the letter, with nervousness, the content of the letter was enough to send some shock across her bones while she fluttered her eyes and read.D- 20 Oasis,Dominican,4th December 2022.The Director.Dear Miss. Reid.I am pleased to inform you that you've been selected amongst many to be a manager of this great organization.Your passion for fashion has shown a lot, and a great conviction that you'd definitely be a great lead for Fera.Your dedication and efforts is all that's needed to move this great organization forward.In addition to this post, you have qualified to receive incentives, and a salary of two million dollars per month.Your work officially begins on the 7th of January.

The content of the letter was quite confusing like she had gone through the process of an interview before, which she hadn't.She remembered she never shared her aspirations with

"Mrs Reid, Miss Reid has not been at work for a while now." Agatha the head of the cleaning department reported."Really!" "Yes Mrs Reid, neither did she submit any reason as to why she didn't show up." With a dismissive wave Agatha received an order to leave from Mrs Reid.Morphie looked up to Mrs Reid in confusion. "Brenda would never joke with her work, she takes it as the utmost and she believes that's her only hope. Why wouldn't she be at work? Could she have found another?""It's very much impossible Morphie, she would never find a job elsewhere, neither would the loser of a husband…" Mrs Reid said in affirmation."Appoint someone to get Brenda here, while you Morphie get the vehicle and head to the Emerald. If they don't call us, there's no harm going there as a means of reminder." Her face was covered with a devilish smile."Cassandra, don't you feel this is dangerous! The Emerald recognises Brenda and not Morphie. Morphie replacing Brenda isn't that sort of cheating? With th

W-what’s going on?The ten-odd bodyguards who barged in glared at Derek like he was a great enemy.On the ground, Perry gritted his teeth resentfully as he struggled to raise his head to look at the bodyguards and ordered, “Kill… kill him!”The punch Derek threw at his abdomen left Perry in so much pain that he was on the verge of throwing up all the food he had eaten for the past few days. The slightest movement made him feel intense pain in his stomach.For the past few decades of his life, Perry had never been beaten up like this or suffered such a huge loss before!If Derek could still leave Perry ’s turf under the siege of so many bodyguards, Perry would be thoroughly embarrassed!The ten-odd bodyguards and Perry ’s personal bodyguard acknowledged and immediately surrounded Derek.Derek smiled coldly and raised his leg to kick the bald bodyguard who rushed in front of him, sending him flying!“Ah!” The bald bodyguard let out a miserable cry as his body was propelled upward be

“No!” Perry refused resolutely. “This isn’t a small business. We’ve monopolised it in Dominican! If I recommend some clients to you, won’t I be giving my family a competitor for no reason?”Derek shook his head. “I naturally won’t run this business in Dominican and become your competitor.”After giving it some thought, Perry still didn’t believe Derek. “Your roots are all in Dominican. Why should I believe that you would leave this place and go elsewhere to run this business.”Derek shrugged. “It’s up to you to believe me or not. Mr. Perry, please get your facts right. I’m doing you a favour by asking you to recommend clients to me. To put it bluntly, the Bathhouse is in my hands now, and so are those beautiful women. Even if I take over the business directly now, what can you do for me?”Derek's words made Perry’s face turn gloomy again.But this was really what the current situation was like. Since that bastard manager had presumptuously sold the Bathhouse, Derek was the dominant p

Perry’s face was naturally extremely gloomy at this point.Derek was clearly trying to intimidate him!It was just an ordinary dice, but the power that emerged from Derek’s hand when he threw it was not inferior to the power contained in a bullet shot from a gun!Besides, the dice Derek shot had landed near Perry’s head. If Derek had intended to kill Perry, he would have probably been shot in the head by now!At the thought of this, Perry felt his entire body’s hair stand on end, and cold sweat rapidly seeped out of his pores, making him chilly all over.And Perry’s elite bodyguard was also overwhelmed with shock.As a bodyguard, he should protect his employer’s safety in any emergency situation.But the speed of the dice Derek shot out just now was so quick that it wasn’t visible to the naked eye. In fact, he only figured out what happened after hearing the terse and sharp sound of the dice shuttling through the air, followed by the loud bang.He couldn’t even react in time, let alon

When Perry saw how bold and fearless Derek was, his facial muscles twitched a little as he gritted his teeth with great resentment and viciousness in his eyes.With a hypocritical grin, he said, “Hehe, why would I do that? Since I invited you here, I naturally have something to discuss with you.”He thought he had hidden his intentions well. But being a sharp and shrewd person, Derek had long seen through Perry.“Mr. Perry, don’t beat around the bush with me. If you have anything to say, just say it.” Derek couldn’t be bothered to exchange hypocritical pleasantries with him. He simply leaned against the couch and got straight to the point.Seeing Derek taking the lead in the conversation, Perry was displeased, and his face immediately turned dark.He waved his hand, and the few scantily clad beauties sitting beside him immediately walked out of the room.Soon, only Derek, Perry, and a burly man who followed Perry wherever he went were the only ones left in the large private room.Dere

Derek frowned.He didn’t expect Aiden to die despite being in police custody.But there were definitely potential loopholes everywhere. If it was really the doing of the force that Derek guessed, the police would likely be defenceless and unable to guard against their actions.But Aiden’s death was not in vain. At the very least, Derek was now certain that the mastermind who instigated Aiden was more likely than not same person who sent the photographer.Otherwise, Aiden wouldn’t have died so easily.“Okay, I know.”Derek was about to hang up the phone when he noticed in the rearview mirror that there were several inconspicuous cars tailing his car. Their intentions were unclear, but he knew that they had to be up to no good.He frowned. They’re really everywhere. How annoying!He wondered who sent these people to tail him.With a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, Derek hung up the phone and quickly made another call. “Come to Clarine's apartment, I will send you an address.”Der

Derek couldn't tell who it was yet, but he knew he would find out.With a sharp and cold gaze in his eyes, Derek raised his head and looked distantly in the direction of the DC. “Hmph, I don’t care who you really are. As long as you dare to reach your hand here, I don’t mind chopping it off!”When Derek reached the amusement park entrance, he saw Clarine waiting here for him worriedly.“Derek, did you get what you went for? Did you find everything?” she asked curiously.Derek raised his arm with two paper bags and said with a faint smile, “I got them. Fortunately, there was no queue.Clarine grinned and teased, “It turns out you really are caring.”Derek smiled. He merely nodded and said, “Yeah, so you have to be like me as well. In the meantime, it's getting late, let's go home.”Clarine nodded happily. Soon, the two of them got into Lucas’s car and sped off.…At this moment, in a luxurious villa in Dominican.A young man in his twenties was reclining on a soft leather sofa with a s

Derek was still trying to figure out who it was, but then he scurried away quickly. But after covering only a short distance, he discovered that a tall and phantom-like figure had appeared in front of him to block him from leaving.“Still trying to run, huh?”The young man was flabbergasted because the person in front of him was the same person he had been secretly snapping photos of!A few seconds ago, this person was clearly more than meters behind him, yet he was standing in front of him in the blink of an eye. How did he do it?!Having been discovered and even stopped by the person he was secretly snapping photos of, the young man got a little nervous and gritted his teeth. He then barked in a menacing voice, “Why are you stopping me? Get lost!”Derek sneered and pointed at the camera the young man was holding. He asked indifferently, “You’ve been tailing me all afternoon, so you must have taken a lot of pictures, right? Did you think no one could discover you when you’re so clums

In fact, Derek could have chosen not to catch Aiden and let him fall to his death just now, as he ought to reap what he sowed.But the words Aiden said earlier made Derek suspect that someone was instigating him. So Derek caught him and allowed him to stay alive to interrogate him and find out more from him.But the matter of Aiden taking Clarinet hostage and trying to jump off the building with her had alarmed almost all the police systems in the city. Many reporters had also hurried over with their cameras and equipment to get the first hand news scoop.In such a situation, Derek naturally couldn’t interrogate Aiden personally. He simply handed Aiden over to the special police officers for them to investigate.The chief special police officer nodded and instructed his subordinates to send Aiden to the hospital. After Aiden came to, they would bring him in for interrogation immediately.Of course, as the parties involved in the incident, Derek and Clarine had to make a mandatory trip

CHAPTER 285
Clarine watched as Derek vanished from the edge of the roof and screamed at the top of her lungs uncontrollably, “Derek!”Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she started bawling loudly, feeling as if her heart was being stabbed by daggers.In contrast, Aiden laughed out loud in great excitement. “Hahaha! What a dimwit. I managed to kill him so easily! I’m going to get rich again soon. Hahaha!”The police on the rooftop of the building couldn’t stop Derek in time and could only watch as he jumped off the building. They all shouted in horror and regret.At the same time, the crowd of onlookers on the ground also shrieked loudly in amazement.When Aiden heard the commotion at the bottom of the building, he guffawed hysterically with great smugness. Then he grabbed Clarine by the collar and looked at the ground to admire the scene of Derek’s badly mangled flesh after he fell off the building.Suddenly, there was a major change!A pair of hands suddenly reached over from the
