Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 62
Brenda had arrived at the hospital, gone in for check up after a long while.The doctor had advised that she stays away from anything strenuous for the time being.Both mental tasking and physical taking issues, she needed to exempt herself .The doctor even added to it that she needed to eat well to strengthen her neurons more.She had thought of Fera immediately, she was close to resuming work, and here the doctor advised her to stay away from stress.She wasn't ready to lose Fera, that job was the only thing that could help maintain her sanity, and her child! She wasn't ready to lose the baby either.Even before the baby was born she was in love with the baby. Every single time her gaze fell to her stomach, she looked forward to her delivery date which was obviously still months away.All this unfolded in her heart, and she had left the doctor's office with a depressed expression, but on getting out a young man dressed in a yellow plain t shirt approached her."I was asked to give

The next day, while Brenda dressed, she realized Derek had not bought himself an outfit yesterday before they left the supermarket ."What do you plan on wearing?" She confronted him the moment he came around ."Worry less about me. I'm fine, I've got an outfit here that I could manage.""You deserve to dress to the nines, not me." she planted a kiss on his cheek before she knew it.Even after he assured her of having an outfit, she was quite confused as to what he planned to wear. In the recent times there had only been a few touches to her wardrobe, but his! Nothing has been done to it in recent times."Here it is." Derek brought out from the wardrobe neatly zipped up in extra clothing."You remember this suit!" Derek said as he carefully brought it out."Of course not. How would I remember something you hid secretly?""Well, it's a gift from you. Some year's back."Brenda remembered the moment he flashed the clothes across her face.She had actually gifted him the day he turned tw

"Hey Derek, you know you aren't eligible to address us. Nevertheless, speak up on your ridiculous demand. What a big joke!" somebody from the crowd shouted.'This was the time to get back at the Smiths if he wanted to.' Derek thought to himself.'No matter how big or great a corporation is, if several companies withdrew their corporation from them, they would definitely go down one after another.' A second thought flowed into his mind, this was exactly what he intended to achieve.Then he voiced. "Everyone, this is the main deal, if everyone should agree to withdraw their corporation from the Smiths then I would release us all."Every single person stared wide-eyed at Derek because of this ridiculous demand. "The Smiths have the intention to wipe all of us out, but now even the Reids aren't any better off. How could you make such a ridiculous demand?" somebody from the crowd yelled."Even if we were to withdraw our corporation, have you ever thought of how big they are? Who wouldn'

The sound of the gun piercing the atmosphere was loud enough to make the burly men turn heads..Never had they expected that there would be an enemy behind. One thing was prominent, the young master must not die.In the corner, Brenda cried herself out, at the sight of the blood that oozed out from her husband's arm.The burly men had returned to find Derek in pain but they dared not reveal anything, they behaved as though they were neutral.Even Brenda was too terrfied to process whom the burly men were. At the moment, all she found herself doing was weeping that her husband stays alive and being grateful that some people had remembered them and were being kind enough to come to their rescue.'Perhaps it could be one of those Derek had initially released.'Kaden, who had also witnessed the scene from his place of hiding, rejoiced inwardly. ‘Good. Kill him! Derek, you piece of trash. I want you dead.’His heart was filled with murderous intent toward Derek. He wanted this man dead, wit

Cassandra was good enough to say such without considering the fact that the two families had been friends for quite some time. Not that alone, she refused to consider the fact that the two girls were bosom friends.Now that Brenda was here, she had put up an unwelcoming front!“We’re here to bring Clarine with us.” Derek spoke up before his wife even had the chance to do so.“Who are you to say anything here?” Of course, Derek was a nobody to Cassandra. To put it bluntly, a piece of trash like this good for nothing son-in-law was simply dirt on their floor.‘If not for the fact that the two families are still acquaintances, I probably would’ve broken in to save Clarine by now.’“Alright now. Clarine is our daughter; she has nothing to do with you two. You guys can leave!” Cassandra gave her order and requested for Derek to leave without batting an eye.No matter how bad she ranted, the duo had no intentions of leaving.“We’re not going to leave until we see Clarine today.” Derek igno

Cassandra was totally numb seeing her husband accommodate Derek like a close relative.Derek, who had initially been unwelcome just minutes earlier and had even needed to fight his way upstairs, now had a close relation with Kenneth because he managed to save the life of his dearest daughter.Derek didn't refuse the offer either, he closely tailed behind Kenneth as they headed to the study with his hands folded behind his back.The moment they sat down in the study, Kenneth Landon got right to the point. “Derek, seems to be quite intelligent, what college did you attend?"“You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you the truth. So I think it's better that I keep to myself.""Wow! I love intelligent people like yourself.""I have a big secret I would love to share with you."Just then, someone pushed the room to the study open.Kenneth was taken aback, but he relaxed when his wife entered the room.She had made tea as ordered and was now bringing it over for her husband. She had never t

Not considering how much drama was pulled, Derek had no interest in the fight between Kenneth and Cassandra. Where he sat he began to have various thoughts.Initially it was just the Reids he was against, then the Smiths came in.It seemed like there were several butts that really needed to be kicked and several heads out back in place.However, Derek seemed to have the messy situation was all under his control. All he needed do was take them down one after the other, and as at last night, he already started with the Smiths.After a long while of no consensual decision between the couples, Derek strolled out and headed home.***The following day…Derek and Brenda managed to find somewhere for Clarine to stay.As the three of them arrived at her new residence, Brenda and Clarine received a message at the very same time on each of their device.Even before checking, they had their gaze locked together.Then after checking, each of them had their brief tightly knitted together.“Wha

Emico chemicals! Derek wondered within him, it sounded so familiar.He traveled back in thoughts as the name kept ringing a bell, then he remembered the day Gage gave him a list of the companies under the Emerald group, he had seen Emico.Derek smiled inside of him. 'That means the nitwit works for me, yet he acts this stupid.''If he's telling the truth, I can fire him and give the job to somebody else who needs it desperately.'Derek noted that down within himself, he was going to mask Gage about who the manager of Emico was.Upon hearing that Greg was going to buy a house at Waterfalls, everyone became even more excited.Everyone from the Dominican knew what that meant.Waterfalls was the core of Dominican’s business circle. Even among the prominent families in Dominican, there were top-tier families and second-tier families.Brenda’s family was a second-tier family.One of the reasons the Reids we're yet to be regarded as a first tier family was simply because they didn’t have a v

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

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
