Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 204
"Derek, I feel you should apologise," Brenda sighed briefly before she continued. "Yes you should Derek. She might want to use this against you. You should know the kind of person she is."Meanwhile, the words didn't sit well with Derek in any way. He instead looked at her and said. "I can't believe you're suggesting that I go and apologize to your mother," Derek said with a frown on his face. "After everything she's done to me? All the bullying and insults I've received from her?"Brenda felt bad about the idea. Truth be told, with everything Mrs Reid had done to Derek, he was not supposed to cross part with her anymore, not to talk of apologising.However, looking at the point of things, she always felt one day Mrs Reid would perhaps have a place in her dark heart to accommodate Derek, even if she were no longer married to him.Considering this thought, she said. "I know it's not easy, Derek," Brenda said, reaching out to hold his hand. "But we need to clear the air. You accused her

Seth squinted his brow at the words, he never dared that Derek would grow such a gut to spout such words to him."Are you referring to me?" Seth asked again with a proud tone trying to gain clarity."If it weren't you, then who else would it be?" Derek responded again.Then came his next statement, "Let's make a bet. Let's see who gets beaten up first, who gets to bow down first too. tonight.Seth's eyes widened in anger. At that moment, he was sure that Derek was referring to. "What the hell did you just say to me?""I said let's see who gets beaten up first. You know, just a little friendly competition. Let's see who wins." Derek said, still smirking.Seth gritted his teeth and pulled out his phone, quickly dialling a number. "Hey, it's Seth. I need you to come to the banquet at the hotel. Bring some backup," he said, his voice low and menacing.In a matter of minutes, three of Seth's henchmen had arrived at the banquet. They were big, burly men who looked like they could take on an

Just with a command from Derek, Seth was just a step to peeing on his pants. However, the self control to preserve his dignity still rested on his thoughts, hence he withheld it but shivered down to his spine.He had no means of getting anyone into his rescue, not even those who gathered around him couldn't make a single sound to make a call. Everyone was already intimidated by Derek's domineering tone.During this period, it should be known that his phone had also been knocked away when he got kicked just now, so even if he were to call a member of his family to show up he just couldn't.Seth couldn't believe Derek could be so heartless to lynch him into such a pitiable state.All of a sudden, Seth was alone and powerless!His heart was awash with despair and fear! At this juncture, Seth felt extremely regretful about his decision to stop Derek and offer him options.However, at that point , there was definitely no cure for regret, all you need to do is find a solution. However, the

Just the moment Mrs Reid said that, the atmosphere changed. Everywhere became alleviated and alive with chatter, music and the clinking of glasses as guests celebrated the success of the company. On the other hand, it wasn't over. Derek was still waiting for his victim's family to arrive. 'Seth' He wouldn't let go that easily.Suddenly, while all was still going smoothly, a young man stood up amongst the crowd."Hey! Derek!" Immediately, all eyes were set to that point. Even Derek was surprised to hear his name amongst the crowd."Me!" Derek placed his hands to his chest. "Yes! You! Numbskull," he increased his space towards Derek.Everyone were awed. The new man was dressed in exquisite stunning Grey suit with golden rims. His blonde her flipped and bonded in a low bun which made him more handsome and desirable.The married and married ladies in the banquet were quick to drool over him. And just by his looks, they were overwhelmed by his words."What could he have stolen!" Some p

Just to prove Jordan's sincerity, he had prepared a document with Derek's signature. The document stated how Derek had done to him to lease the vehicle. That document was an agreement form between the two of them, it stated that Derek would use the vehicle to work, and then, he would make returns to him.The moment this document went around, every single person who saw it was awed.Even Derek was yet to see it, but he could tell that this was all a set up."Yes, I knew it all along, that this low life would engage in nothing to improve his life other than stealing things and doing things the wrong way."One person said from the crowd.Just the same time, Derek snatched his shirt out of the guys hand, went for the paper, snatched it, and instantly scanned through it. "What bulshit!" He yelled at the end of the reading. "What sort of bulshit is this? Why would you try to drag my name in the mud and what sort of a person are you?" Derek yelled out at that point without giving a damn as

The senseless Morrphie had forgotten that his mum had actually invited Derek, therefore she did give him a real invitation card.Mrs Reid on the other hand knew his, but then she kept quiet with a long expression, as she intended to know how far Derek would go with the invitation before he got kicked out.At least, she could easily reject the fact that she gave him an invitation. No one was there, since there were no witnesses there, all was in her favour.The middle-aged man held the invitation card and handed it back to Derek with both hands, bowing and apologising at the same time. "My apologies, Mr Brook, this invitation card is authentic. I’m sorry for unintentionally offending you just now! I didn’t mean to. Please forgive me.”At that point, he was able to believe that all that was said about Derek were actually not true.Then he straightened up his body and shot Morphie an extremely cold gaze.It was all his fault for spurring him to ask Derek to produce the invitation card f

The glass bottle slammed hard against someone’s head!The thick glass bottle shattered immediately, forming a crack in his hard and solid skull as the fragrant white wine and blood flowed down his head.“Waa!” The people around them subconsciously shrieked in horror while watching the scene unfold in front of them in disbelief.What made them unable to believe their eyes was that Morphie was clearly the one who had grabbed the white wine bottle and attempted to smash it at Derek. But now, the person who had his head cracked open by the wine bottle turned out to be Morphie himself and not Derek!No one in the room saw how Derek grabbed the bottle from his hand and smashed it on his head in less than a second! The dumbfounded Morphie stood still on the spot for a long time before hugging his head and wailing out loud.Derek nonchalantly tossed the broken half of the wine bottle onto the ground, picked up a stack of snow-white napkins on the table, and slowly wiped the spilled wine on h

Arden Walked over with a frown on his face. While on his way here, he had already heard about what happened. As soon as he arrived, he saw Morphie pressing a white napkin against his bleeding head. He then looked at the composed Derek, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea leisurely.Staring at the two people in front of him, especially the unharmed Derek, Arden narrowed his eyes and said hostilely, “It’s my party today, and I believe that all the guests are here to wish me well and join us in this celebration. The Hemsworth have already reminded you all beforehand that no matter what feuds you have with each other, you are to set them aside and not cause trouble on our turf! Even if you must settle it, you have to wait until you’ve left our place!”Glowering at Derek scornfully, Arden questioned, “Don’t you understand?”Being the next successor of the family, Arden was extremely arrogant. It was as if he had already shown nobody like Derek enough courtesy by saying these words.

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

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
