Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 125
Hurriedly, Brenda and Clarine rushed over to the Reid home. In order to ensure that at least before her mum and so called brother would do anything stupid, they could get to stop them on time.As they thought, upon heir arrival, at the Reid residence, they sighted Mrs Reid and Morphie proceed out of the mansion with a group of men dressed in black.Hurriedly, Brenda was furious and rushed towards them in anger. "Do you two even know what you are going at all? Why would you want to kill an innocent man just because of your silly mistakes? This isn't right at all?" Brenda yelled out amidst sobs."Why try to destroy the innocent?"However, Mrs Reid ordered them to shove her aside while they proceeded to the vehicle.The few guards naturally knew Brenda, but instead, they yanked her off as they were told. As long as they knew, Brenda was in no place to order them. The only order they succumbed to was actually that of either Mrs Reid or Morphie.Nevertheless, Brenda stomped to her feet fro

Brenda looked at Derek in great disbelief.It wasn't the first time he was defending her in front of outsiders, or defending her when she was bullied by her family, but this was the first time she was seeing him beat somebody just because of her.More so, it wasn't just anyone, it was her brother, one who had bullied him for a very long time. All of a sudden, Brenda looked at Derek with a complicated gaze.The guards looked at each other in dismay, at a loss for what to do. Logically speaking, they ought to follow Mrs Reid's orders by dealing with Derek. But here they were fidgeting in daylight. Derek didn't come along, he came together with a few of Gage's men.The moment he alighted from the office tower, he had suspected something different might happen, he couldn't tell what it could be for sure, but he was sure something unusual was about to happen.Therefore, he had called for extra hands, thankfully, his guesses were not wrong the moment he walked in just to see his wife bein

"Brenda!" Derek lowered his head and looked at Brenda who was kneeling on the ground, her hair and clothes drenched to the extent that she looked extremely miserable.She was his woman, and yet she was being abused like this!Anger brewed in his eyes as he glared at the heavens in anger. “One day, you Reid will regret your decision today and pay the price for it!”He took off his jacket, wrapped it around the drenched Brenda picked her up in his arms, and then disappeared into the rain.Earlier on, he had gone to check her at Orange Island, but then he had received the news that she wasn't in. Fear gripped him, he remembered Clarine, called her immediately asking after Brenda, but then she had been confused herself.She told Derek all that transpired between them after which Derek immediately went in search of her.Along the line, he had called her yet her phone want going through. A lot ran through his mind immediately, what if those vipers had kept her back? He thought to himself, h

Brenda slowly jolted back to life, she looked above, staring at nothing in particular. She noticed that her present location was different from the former.She gently stroked her head and looked at the other person beside the bed, only to realize that it was Derek. He was sitting on the marble floor and staring at her with a tender gaze, his hair and clothes still damp.At first, she was shocked, she could barely remember what happened last, but then her memories began to return and she remembered kneeling before her vehicle. She had tried every means to get across to Clarine just to inform her about her whereabouts, but then nothing was going through.She was drenched in the rain and her dignity and body were greatly tortured. Brenda had thought she wasn’t going to be able to hold on any longer.At that juncture, someone wrapped a warm jacket around her and put his sturdy arms on her shoulders while taking her away from that overbearing place and she passed out immediately.Right now

Morphie found the current situation as an urgent need to attend to, therefore he decided to leave for his search as quickly as he could. Getting in touch with the rich mogul before another person would was currently his goal.Therefore, he was about to go out when an assistant hurriedly ran over to Mrs Reid out of nowhere with a luxurious cream invitation card that had golden designs and inscriptions on it.“Hey Morphie, end your outing first. Won't take a quick look at this!”After Mrs Reid grabbed it and took a careful look at the contents of the invitation card, there was a change in expression. Her face brightened like never before, the sore in her heart as a result of the bad experiences suddenly disappeared.The moment she turned the envelope around consecutively she couldn't help but exclaim loudly. "One at a time, we are being vindicated. The patient dog eats the fattest bone after all." Mrs Reid was blazing in happiness and this was quite surprising to Morphie."Come take a

Brenda was surprised as to which visitor and bouquet her maid was speaking of. She had not gotten a prior invitation.Confusedly, she immediately stomped to her feet, and left the room to see the chauffeur who had come looking for her."Good day ma'am, I'm under a strict order to bring you to the exclusive banquet tonight." the chauffeur said amidst smiles and his head slightly bowed."Exclusive bouquet!" Brenda sighed slightly, her hands swaying uncontrollably by her side as she said. "Are you sure you haven't lost yourself? Are you sure you are in the right place?""Yes ma'am! I'm very much sure I was ordered to pick you… Give me a minute ma'am." he went to the vehicle, pulled an invitation out from the dashboard, placed it in her palms and said."This should convince you better." Curiously, Brenda looked at the chauffeur in surprise with an expressionless gaze, after which she opened the letter.Truth be told, she blinked twice. Looked at the chauffeur before returning her gaze to

"Just wait till I get to inform the host about how rudely you have all behaved to his private guest. First of all, you mentioned that we are actually not not private guests, meaning you all say the host is a liar right? And now! You all behave rudely to both I and my mum. Even after I told you how uneasy she currently feels." Morphie rants in unbearable anger.However, he got nothing different in return other than, the usher rolling an eye against him like he meant nothing at all. "When you are ready young man, you'd finally keep your mouth shut and stick to the rules of the banquet." The usher said before walking away.At the same time, Morphie couldn't help but gulp tirelessly in surprise, he dared not kick up a fuss because there were several important dignitaries present.As such, anything they did would immediately be recognised and seen flying out on media soon. And that alone would be so degrading to them.The Reids were lucky enough to receive the invitation. However, they wer

CHAPTER 293
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
CHAPTER 292
“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
CHAPTER 291
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
CHAPTER 290
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
CHAPTER 289
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
CHAPTER 288
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
CHAPTER 287
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
CHAPTER 286
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
