Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 265
Ever since Ava mentioned her dad’s name, Derek had looked at her with the personality of a weak and spoiled daughter of a rich man, who worked with the intention of building a name for herself.However, his speculations seemed wrong with her actions.“Ava, the current situation you are in is quite dangerous. Why not stay at my place for the time being? I have a lot of rooms to keep you comfortable.” Brenda suggested in concern...Ava smiled and shook her head to turn down Brenda’s kind offer. “Thanks, maam but there are numbers of security guards in the villa. I’ll be safe once I go inside. I’ll be alright. Thanks for caring, boss.”Brenda thought about it and felt that she was right. Since Ava was already at the doorstep of her own home, Brenda merely reminded, “Be careful then. Ask your dad to assign a few elite bodyguards to protect you in case those crooks get up to more malice and try to harm you.”Ava nodded. “Alright, I will.”Then she turned and said to Derek, “Thank you so m

Derek and Brenda, each got busy with their own matters in the meantime. While Clarine on the other hand, spent the majority of the time getting back with Brenda before she actually returned to work.Brenda on the other hand, as the general manager of the Fera fashion, naturally had many new plans to carry out and arrangements to make.As an acting general manager in the Emerald group also, Clarine also had a lot on her plate every day. She had to handle the daily affairs of the company and suppress those who refused to obey her and were throwing their weight around just because they were old. She also had to handle important follow-up matters and try her best to minimize the impact of this matter on trivial matters in the Emerald group.She was trying as much as possible to prove her diligence.Fortunately, Clarine was quite competent and managed to handle everything without Derek’s help.As for Sophia, the rightful general manager of the company, she was originally supposed to return

In Derek’s opinion, Alaric did that not because he really knew that they had made a mistake but because he could tell from Blade’s attitude toward Derek that Derek might really be a big shot whom he couldn’t afford to offend. So he began to be deferential and bowed to Derek. But if Derek was just an ordinary person, they would definitely have suffered a huge loss! If he was just an ordinary person who didn’t have any combat skills, he would have definitely ended up having his limbs broken and thrown out of the bathhouse, thereby becoming a cripple for the rest of his life and perhaps they would have become the subjects of public criticism and never be able to raise his head high again. How could the matter be resolved with just an apology and a membership card? “Get your boss to come out. I’m going to buy this bathhouse.” Derek’s tone was indifferent but full of determination, leaving no room for negotiation at all. Cold sweat immediately emerged on Alaric’s forehead. “What’s goi

Ten million dollars was not a small amount for any family, let alone Derek, whom Nathan thought was a good-for-nothing the Reids had kicked out.In Nathan’s opinion, it would be an impressive feat if Derek could even take out ten million in cash.He was certain that Derek would never be able to fork out the massive sum of ten million dollars!He firmly believed that Derek was just deliberately putting on an act and pretending to be impressive. He wanted to see how this good-for-nothing could afford to take out ten million dollars!If he couldn’t, Nathan would definitely make sure Derek got on his knees and crawled out of the bathhouse!After Derek heard the price Nathan named, his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he smirked calmly. “Everyone, you heard him clearly. Nathan Alvin said that if I can take out ten million dollars in cash, he will immediately sell the bathhouse to me. All of you are witnesses.”Then he turned to look at Nathan. “Give me your bank account number. I’ll

Derek requested to have his way in immediately after the transfer, leaving Nathan to wobble on the spot.He had casually said that he would sell the Ephemeral Bathhouse to Derek if he could pay Ten million dollars in cash right on the spot because he was initially certain that Derek wouldn’t be able to fork out such a large sum of money.But the real owner of the bathhouse was the Taylors. Nathan was just the legally appointed person in charge of the bathhouse, the caretaker in short.How could he have the guts to sell it without permission?Nathan knew for a fact that the Taylors definitely wouldn’t spare him if he dared to sell the Bathhouse!At this moment, a young lawyer in his twenties clad in a lapel suit and holding a black briefcase entered the Bathhouse.After he scanned the crowd, he walked straight to Blade and lowered his head respectfully. “Blade, this is the transfer agreement you asked us to prepare just now. The terms have been drafted, and this contract will take effe

Alaric was an extremely mercenary person who would succumb to the powerful and do anything for his interests. Based on the fact that he had downgraded him without knowing who he is, Derek would definitely not let him continue working for the bathhouse.He dislikes people who look down on others just because they are in a position of power.Alaric was naturally unwilling to leave. Although he was just the manager of the bathhouse, whose salary was not high and authority was limited, he could gain a lot of benefits.If he left this job, he wouldn’t be able to find another one comparable to this, especially since he was already old.Immediately, Alaric dropped to his knees in front of Derek. “Mr. Brook , it was all my fault. Please give me another chance! I guarantee that I will never do anything wrong again! I have a family to feed. If you fire me, my family will not be able to make ends meet!”Alaric was weeping miserably and trying to play the victim card. Derek was well aware of what

After Derek got a clear answer about the Taylors, he instructed Blade to drive back to the Ephemeral Bathhouse..Before Derek got out of the car, he turned to Blade again and admonished, “You must keep in mind what I told you before. I don’t want to see any more entertainment joints and establishments that provide vice-related services. The same applies to the Ephemeral Bathhouse!“Also, keep a close eye on the dirty business that the Taylors operate on the top floor of the bathhouse. Call me if something crops up.”"I will do just that, boss." Hr said with a smile curled on his lips.He loved to work for Derek, because Derek he knew was more transparent to the core than several other so-called businessmen in the business world.“Okay, go and get busy with your matters. You don’t have to tag along with me.”After that, Derek left for Fera Textile he had always promised to be the one to pick Brenda and he was never going to fail on that. He went for her, and the drive home was quiet.
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 272
The young man was Fangio, whom Blade had appointed to be in charge of the Ephemeral Bathhouse. Fangio had worked with Blade for a long time, and he was competent in handling matters as well. His capability was the reason that Blade had decided to make him the manager of this place.But he had always worked in a poker room previously and so didn’t know Culhane .“What? He sold it?!” Culhane asked in disbelief.A wave of fury immediately surged in his heart. “Who is Nathan Alvin to sell this bathhouse?! Damn it. Get Nathan Alvin to come out here. I want to question him. What gave him the guts to sell the property of the Taylors?!”Cullhane grabbed Fangio by his collar and glared at him as if he was about to swallow up.Fangio began stumbling on an unsteady gait while feeling furious.As a longtime worker at a casino, he naturally had some considerable strength. He grabbed Cullhane ’s wrist, squeezed it hard, and then twisted it forcefully with a loud crack. Overwhelmed by the excrucia

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

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

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
