Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 131
"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

Mrs. Reid and Morphie sat down looking gloomy. The duo could remember the day they had received the document in a dimly-lit boardroom, staring at the document in front of them in disbelief. The words on the page seemed to blur and warp, as if mocking their years of hard work and dedication.The Reid Group, the company they had built tirelessly, was no longer theirs. It had been hijacked by a larger corporation, and their ownership stake had been effectively eliminated.Mrs. Reid felt her heart sink as she thought of all the hours she had poured into the company, sacrificing time and schemes tirelessly just to ensure its success. The pride she had felt in the Reid Group was now replaced with a deep sense of loss.Morphie sat beside her with a look of anger and defeat etched on his face. He had always been the more outspoken of the two, but now he was at a loss for words.As they sat in silence, the reality of the situation began to sink in. They were no longer in control of the company

Brenda hung her head low gloomily. Of course, she knew that Derek wouldn’t be able to afford the exorbitant jewelry, and she was just occasionally envious of such relationships.She remembered the days she was married to Derek, nothing as expensive as this were gifted to her. It pained her to recollect such memories, at the end of their suffering together, he ended up betraying her, she thought to herself.At this moment, a woman dressed like a waitress walked up to Brenda, bent down, and whispered into her ear, “Miss Reid, sorry to disturb you, but someone is looking for you.”Brenda frowned. “Who’s looking for me?”The waitress’s voice became even softer. “He said his name should remain a secret."Secret? Who could this be? Brenda thought for a while. Everything in her life seemed to be secret.First was her secret job, till that moment, her supposed boss treats her like the boss instead which always left her confused.Secondly was the anonymous gifts and flowers she always receive
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 134
Brenda covered her mouth as her tears rolled down continuously.Surrounded by romantic flowers and lights and being proposed to by a handsome man with an exorbitant diamond ring was the scene that every woman dreamed of.Complicated emotions surged in Brenda’s heart, her mind was totally messed up at that moment and she couldn't tell what was happening around her yet."Will you marry me again, Brenda?" Derek asked again to bring her out of her daze, his voice cracking with emotion. "I promise you that I'll never make the same mistake twice. I'll love you, honor you, and cherish you for the rest of my life. Please, Brenda, say yes."Brenda's eyes flickered from Derek's face to the ring and back again. She took a deep breath and shook her head."I'm sorry, Derek," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can't do this again. I can't risk getting hurt like that again. I need to protect myself."Derek's heart sank as he heard Brenda's words. He had hoped that she would be willing to

Brenda was shocked and confused. The more she tried to set her life right the more it got into shambles. She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, splashed a little amount of water on her face to ease the tension.She was definitely not in for a scandal as they had threatened. And the Reids she knew they definitely would go any length just to get whatever they desired. All that surprised her right now was the fact that they never cared to see her hurt just to get what they wanted, really amazed her.She went for a shower after which she slipped into her night wear, lay flat on the bed with her face turned at the ceiling while she stared at nothing in particular.On the other hand, Mrs Reid and Morphie had quickly ordered a cab after they discovered there was no chauffeur to return them home.It was all like a dream, but the humiliation they had faced that night was nothing compared to all they have always faced in the past.The moment they go home, the maids offered some chilled water

Mrs Reid pointed at Morphie furiously. “Are you still clueless? Who else knows about these factories? isn't it just the two of us?""Why are you acting like you've got nothing at all in those dirty sleeves of yours!" Morphie was astonished as to how the table began to turn against him. Really, he had done nothing at all to betray their family, but then here was his mum blaming him for what he never did.However, to be candid, she really was right, there was confusion somewhere. Just the two of them knew about the factories, even the workers never knew them as the owner. The duo made sure that they remained anonymous.Therefore, how on earth did anyone manage to discover the company's? Has that person been making several investigations about them for a very long time, because as far as it should be in reality, the wreck can never and would never be a one day job or plan."Trust me mom, I would never in this whole wide world do anything like that.""Are you telling me someone else did?"
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 137
Morphie’s words caught Brenda by surprise. Somebody who had always been cruel and harsh was suddenly playing the pity card."You know you definitely can't fool me with this you do? You don't expect me to fall for it right!?" Brenda was firm with her words, none of what he said took a toll on her.However, he wasn't giving up either, Morphie further went on to explain their misery. "Believe it or not Brenda, your family is in ruins. Our factories are getting confiscated. First it was the group, but now it's the factories.""Factories you say!" Brenda sneered amusedly. "I mean when on earth did the Reid get to have factories? Wasn't it just the group?""Yes, we did have factories, and now it's up to you to save these factories, take it or leave it?" Morphie spoke without remorse. Neither did Brenda find his words easy to digest."Wow, so the family did have factories, and I never knew of it? Obviously I've been an outcast for a very long time. Why then do you suddenly walk up to me? Hav
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 138
Brenda blinked twice, she wasn't expecting such nice words to flow out of Mrs Reid mouth. She exercised some patience, waiting to hear from whatever Mrs Reid had to say before she took the next step.The fumed in anger, yet she suepressed it as much as she could so as not to make rash decisions."You need to believe me Brenda, I need you to trust me. It's time to come home don't you think?" She looked downward and continued. I mean, didn't you feel it's actually time to stay with your family, let's be your close confidant." Mrs Reid looked at Brenda expecting a swift response, instead Brenda strolled forward with her hands stuck to her side as she told firmly.“I remember that I already been disowned by the Reids." she chuckled slightly and then continued. "You know, the memory is forever engraved in m heart, remembering how the two people who were supposed to be the closest to me in he world, actually aided a full disgrace… For me, like a public disgrace." Brenda said again with obvi

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
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

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
