Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 169
Seeing Morphie’s sudden rage, the workers remained silent and began to leave awkwardly. After that had all left, Mrs Reid followed."You know how best to handle this matter, and if you don't, then go to hell." Those were her last words before she left.However, when she was no longer nearby, Morphie fummed in anger, he almost broke down emotionally.While he remained in the empty hall, his assistant suddenly came around."Boss, don't worry if everyone do not see you as a director anymore. I definitely hold you in high esteem and I value you." Alice said. She also stuck to his side because sge had a crush on him but he was yet to notice her.Morphie broke free from her and yelled, “Just get off. What are you insinuating? That I apologize to that bitchy sister? And soil my pride! Does anyone really care about me at all?"Morphie’s eyes were red. Making him apologize to Brenda was akin to stepping on his dignity. It was a massive insult!Feeling heartbroken, she looked at Morphie, the

"I guess this guy is up to something," Derek said after which he went to the door, and Morphie came in with a disdainful look.Seeing Morphie walk in, Brenda looked at him with indifference and disgust, and no one said anything.Morphie chuckled. He walked toward Brenda and handed over the gift box he was carrying. “Brenda, this is a bracelet that I specially bought. It happens to suit you, so I’m here to deliver it to you. I hope you’ll like it.”Brenda squinted her brows and said. "You know I don't use jewelries, and even if I do, what's with the sudden gesture?"Feeling as though his chest had been stabbed, he gritted his teeth, trying to figure out what to say and then he quickly said, “Yes, I also happened to hear the good news, so I’m here to congratulate Brenda!”Brenda humphed coldly, not believing that Morphie was genuinely happy for her.As expected, Morphie added, “I’m also here to relay mom's goodwill. She would like to have you guys return to the Reids. The large family vi

Derek's question was a very meaningful and direct question that got Brenda thinking. "I have never seen him go this length just to beg for a favor from me Derek? What if they really are sincere? What if he is telling the truth? I mean their business is falling apart, and I don't think there will be any reason as to why he should tell lies just to gain my trust, it's absolutely impossible." Brenda said, but on the other hand, Derek merely smiled. "They are my family Derek, and families are always important, don't you think so?"With a half filled mouth, Derek paused his meal and said. "Of course, family is very important, family comes first, and family shouldn't be forgotten, but then what comes from a family who only comes humble when they need your help but desert you and make sure you get frustrated when you are in trouble. That isn't the goal of the family.""Families don't quit." Derek ended his words, and with a slight sigh, Brenda leaned back into her seat and said. "What the

Clarine was still enraged, maybe she wouldn't be able to talk back at her parents whenever she was given home arrest, bit not the same as staying quiet when somebody out of nowhere gets to bully her.She has grabbed her bag and turned away to leave but then, Brenda had followed up immediately. She knew she was wrong, and she couldn't bare to lose her friend just because of a disagreement, hence she followed up, caught up with her friend and apologized.On the other hand, Derek waited to stare at the duo, but then his stares was soon interrupted by a deep masculine voice."What are you doing here? Can't you hear me?" William, the overall manager said, his words burning in flame and anger.Derek turned around to the path were the voice had come from, and there, before him stood a former colleague of his.Back then in school, he was such a bully while Detek was a weakling. As such, he had thought he could continue his bullying now that he saw Derek in his space.Derek faced back, as tho

William stood frozen in place as Derek's burning gaze bore down on him. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, and his hands began to tremble as he tried to muster the courage to speak.William could feel his whole body shaking now, and he took a step back, bumping into the wall behind him. He knew he had to say something to diffuse the situation, but his mind was blank..Derek took another step forward, and William could feel the heat of his breath on his face.William could feel the blood draining from his face as he realized the seriousness of the situation. He had never been in a fight before, and he didn't want to start now."I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice barely audible."You are sorry!" Derek asked that question monotonously, his emotions unreadable.However, when William heard it, he was scared soulless.He hurriedly shook his head like a rattle drum and denied. “No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare to! I-I was just joking. It was, all a joke! I definitely would never dare

Two days later…It was a normal weekend evening, and Derek was sitting in his penthouse, trying to catch up on some work after a long day. Suddenly, his phone rang. A glance at it, he discovered it was Gage calling."Gage, tell me as long as it's not work. I don't handle work on weekends." Derek answered, not expecting anything out of the ordinary."Young master, there's a lot being said on TV right now. It's a devastating news young master." Gage exclaimed in a panicked voice."What are you talking about?" Derek asked, feeling a knot form in his stomach."Somebody put your name and picture out in the news as the one behind the murder of Michael and Sam Solano!" Gage said, his voice rising with each word."What? My name! How is that even possible?!" Derek protested, feeling a sense of disbelief wash over him. Immediately, he strolled out of the balcony into his room, switched on the television set.Behold, right before him, he could see the same news with his own eye. The reporter ha
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 175
Gage was definitely not working with the Solanoes, but he did have to bring that up just to make the IT yield to his request.Also telling them he worked for the Emerald Group was a great step to accord him with so much respect."Anything yet?" He asked once again after minutes of waiting just to fish out footage of the previous week."In a bit." The head of the IT operator had responded. But then Gage gave all his attention to avert any form of errors.Less than two minutes later, the IT agent lifted his face and said, "Sir, there are no coverage for that particular time you seek for ""What! How can your hospital be as careless as letting full coverage slip away?" Gage yelled out.He was majorly concerned because Derek was innocent, and he had vowed to protect him, considering what happened to his parents."I want information as regards incidents covering those two patients," Gage yelled out again.A message was immediately passed to the head of the hospital and he came running down

The case regarding the Solanoes death was getting tougher by the day, at the same time, the corps were not settling as to getting Derek arrested.The Reid's were on tight plans to get him as soon as they could, at the same time, Gage was on the lookout for Esteban.A moment with him would perhaps provide clues to what happened to the three important figures of the Solanoes.Several times, Gage had tried to meet Esteban, he had gotten information of disapproval, or excuse of Esteban's absence.It was a week past already, and there was still no progress on the case. Derek had to remain within closed doors while Gage took control of the Emerald group."Mr Brook, you need not bother, I'm working on this case, and I promise to get to you as soon as possible. It's been reported in recent times that Mr Esteban Solano is being out of the country. I have my men watching out for him, and I promise the moment he returns I'll definitely reach out to him for questioning.""That's fine Gage, just ma

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
