Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 276
The encounter Culhane had was the most humiliating experience in his entire life. Being insulted by such a young punk was simply akin to the prestige of Taylors being trampled all over by him repeatedly!The most infuriating thing was that the young punk actually snatched the Ephemeral Bathhouse away from them!Culhane didn’t believe that Kevin dared to betray the Taylors and sell the Ephemeral Bathhouse to someone else of his own accord. Back then, the Taylors had legally appointed Kevin to be the person in charge of the Ephemeral Bathhouse because they could tell that he wasn’t too ambitious and was instead a little cowardly and extremely scrupulous toward the Taylors. So they thought that he definitely wouldn’t dare to betray them.But now that Kevin had fled, Cullhane was certain that Derek must have coerced and even threatened Kevin into signing the transfer contract.It didn’t matter that Kevin had fled. But the fact that the Ephemeral Bathhouse, the dirty business secretly ran

When Derek arrived in the private room of the restaurant that Ava had booked, he saw her sitting alone in her seat.Upon seeing Derek, Ava’s eyes immediately lit up, and she stood up with a smile. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You’re finally here.”As she spoke, she took the initiative to pull out the chair at the side and asked Derek to take a seat.Derek frowned slightly. “Hasn’t Brenda arrived yet?”Ava pouted her red lips slightly and said with some feigned dismay, “She got held up at the office because an important client suddenly showed up and asked to meet her. So she couldn’t make it, and she wanted me to tell you to finish this meal on her behalf. Sir, you wouldn't leave right?"Ava had dolled herself up before coming. She was gorgeous in the first place, and now that she was pouting, she looked bubbly and delicate.Brenda was the only beautiful woman that Derek had ever paid attention to, and he didn’t notice Ava’s makeup at all. He deciphered her words simply

The moment Ava heard someone call her, she squinted a little to glance at the young man before closing her eyes again immediately. She muttered, “Derek, let’s hurry and head back home!”The young man’s expression instantly became hostile.One reason was that Ava was actually lying so intimately in the arms of another man and completely ignoring him!The second was that she even told this man to hurry and head back home.Go home?! What home? Whose home?!Immediately enraged and full of fury, the young man walked over and grabbed Ava’s arm.“Ava, I’m Xander Von! Don’t you recognize me?” the young man said, refusing to give up.Xander Von… Hearing his name, Derek pursed his lips.Ava cursed at him in his head. Her plan was going well at first, but Xander just had to interfere and sabotage her plan. Besides, Xander was someone she utterly detested.But she had to pretend as if she just recognized him and spoke as if she had only come to a realisation now. “Oh, it’s you, Xander. Are you he
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 279
Hearing that Xander knew Brenda, Derek narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Yes.”Very few people knew that Brenda owned the company.The fact that Xander knew exactly who she was, meant that he was keeping close tabs on Ava and then he had investigated who the boss was.Perhaps a male or female.His overly-controlling behavior was truly terrifying.Xander tilted his head upward and guffawed out loud. “Haha, I was wondering who it was that dared to covet my woman. I didn’t expect it to be you, a good-for-nothing who freeloads off his wife! So, are you thinking of hooking up with Ava and marrying her to become the live-in son-in-law of Colby just because Brenda Reid has been disowned by the Reid's ? Let me tell you, forget about it! You’re not even worthy enough to kneel down and lick my shoes!”“That’s enough! Xander Von, don’t go too far! Derek isn’t someone you can slander!” Ava was really exasperated because Derek was the savior of her life, and she felt that there was no reason fo

Hearing Derek’s question, Xander immediately raised his head proudly and said smugly, “Yes! I’m one of the Van's from Pavenca, and the current family head is Becker Van, my grandfather! Are you afraid now, punk? Hurry up and kneel down to kowtow to me twice. Once you make me pleased, I might consider letting you off!”Derek smirked with some derision in his eyes.The Van's were in no way strange to Derek, during the period he was dealing with the Brookes, Sophia had, during this period mentioned the Van's several times.The Van's had been very active in Pavenca as they tried to use various means and methods to seize the major businesses the Brookes left behind.Although the Van's failed to succeed because Sophia was quite competent, it undoubtedly also brought a lot of trouble to Sophia and resulted in various disputes that almost got her killed.If not for the fact that Derek had instructed Stanley and Sophia not to get anyone killed, the Van's would have probably perished.So onc

Derek ignored the resentment in Xander’s gaze and stepped on his ankle. “You’re still so arrogant now, huh? It seems you haven’t learned your lesson yet.”“Ah!” Xander immediately shrieked in misery as a wave of fear surged in his heart. Derek seemed to really have no fear of the Vans and was also capable of doing anything. Now that his bodyguards were incapacitated, he would have to suffer no matter what.Xander was extremely furious, but he knew that he was now in a disadvantageous position and had no choice but to suppress his anger, not daring to glower at Derek. But deep down, he wished he could kill Derek!At this moment, Xander had naturally long forgotten that if he hadn’t come looking for trouble with Derek, insulted him, and forced him to kneel, Derek wouldn’t have done this to him.“I’ve merely taught you a small lesson today. If you’re feeling indignant, feel free to get Becker Van to come look for me. Also, from now on, if I see you pestering Ava again, it won’t be as sim

When Ava returned home, she saw Mr. Colby sitting on the couch with his brows furrowed in a frown. When he saw Ava enter, he didn’t relax at all.“Dad, aren’t you busy today? Why are you home and waiting for me?” Ava asked, pretending to be relaxed. She sat down beside Mr Colby. “I’m fine. I just got involved in a troublesome matter, so I asked Zion to help me out.”With a furious expression, Mr Colby sneered. “Of course, I know what happened. You just wanted to chase Xander away.”Only then did she realize that her father had learned of everything that had just happened at the restaurant.She pursed her lips and leaned back on the couch. “Dad, since you already know, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Xander is a good-for-nothing who sponges off his family. I won’t marry such a person! Dad, just go to the Vans and break off our engagement before it’s too late!”“Outrageous!” Mr. Colby flew into a rage and rebuked, “You and Xander have been engaged for more than ten years, and we
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 283
Derek was furious when he heard this.It was no secret that Clarine had now become the deputy general manager of the Emerald Group and was in charge of handling the duties of the general manager.He reckoned that Aiden must have scurried over to pester her to try and get back together with her after hearing about it.But Derek also felt that there was something amiss.If Aiden merely wanted to continue pestering Clarine, he should have countless methods to do so since he was experienced . Why would he resort to such an extreme method of holding Clarine hostage, forcing her to the rooftop, and threatening to kill her if she didn’t compromise?It didn’t seem like something that a suitor would do!But now was not the time for him to stand here and figure out what was going on. Regardless of whether someone had instigated Aiden or not, Clarine was in an extremely dangerous situation now. She had a chance of falling off the roof or getting slit by the sharp dagger in his hand!Even thoug
