Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 93
Abigail was the well known Dominican Chess Association’s president and the top female chess player in the world. She had arrived in Dominican just because of the match with Kaleen.Faced with Megan's question, Abigail merely shook her head. “Nobody in this entire country, and throughout the world measures up to me when it comes to chess." she told Megan in return.Abigail really wasn’t bragging, no one had ever measured up to her in the whole of Dominican and in the entire world at large. At least for that period. Many who had bragged had gotten a round with her and failed generally. Therefore no one measured up to her.Abigail was always confident of thrashing her opponents.“Mum, since he isn’t talented, why do you intend to have a match against him?”In recent years, Abigail no longer played as many games as she had in the past. On the one hand, she had toned down with age and no longer enjoyed the fierce competition. On the other hand, she couldn’t find anyone who was capable en
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 94
Kaleen was clearly trying to infuriate Abigail into playing the match.He clearly wanted a big time disgrace for Derek. 'He would be able to win against Megan, but Abigail he wouldn't be able to win against.As expected, Abigail fumed greatly as soon as she heard that. ‘He expects me to go against his student? He’s clearly looking down on me. Does he think that he’s too good for me and that I’m only worthy of a match against his student?’ Abigail thought inwardly with disgust.Yet, she never once stopped to think that she was the one who had made this proposition first. “Kaleen, are you saying that your student is worthy of playing against me?”“I never meant any form of disrespect, Abigail? It’s just guiding our students. Don’t you think you’re going too far with your words?"Abigail was the overall president of Dominican Chess Association, yet the audiences grumbled among themselves when she was against Kaleen's request.“Abigail, if you’re unwilling to teach Kaleen’s student, why s
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 95
After series of consideration, Abigail eventually took her seat concluding within herself. ‘I would never be a sore loser. Even if it meant embarrassing myself, I won't earn a reputation of being one to go back on my words. Otherwise, my reputation in the circle will be totally ruined in inseparable pieces..’Once again, the chessboard was set. This was the time both Kaleen and Slyvester were waiting for. They were very much sure that Derek would never win against such a world best player like Abigail.That wasn't the deal. The real deal was to put him to shame by openly humiliating him after the game was over.The board was in shape, and once again another round of game was to be played. Given Abigail's status, she wouldn’t make the first move.She confidently handed a notebook over to Megan. “Keep count of my moves. If I don’t win the game within 30 moves, I’ll admit defeat.”She trusted her innermost intelligence that her moves would never be up to that before she would win against
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 96
Kaleen was disappointed Derek won against Abigail, same went as Slyvester. They had wanted a huge humiliation for him but instead, they were the ones who were humiliated.It was still a surprise and there was no way anyone could disagree with the fact that it wasn't true, it was.All of them had seen it happen right before them. Even, the moments when he gave her the opportunity to beat him down, but he couldn't.'How and where did he learn such a skill from? His parents must be so talented for him to have inherited something this great.' Somebody said amidst the crowd.Abigail was yet to recover from the shock either. All her life, she had made and maintained a name as a world best female player.She had won several trophies and won to several contemporaries even amongst the males.However, it was surprising to discover that someone was out here more skilled and talented than she was.Even while they played, he gradually became her guide.At the same time, chess had a long history in

Derek and Brenda had already been in a fight. When she heard the voice of another young lady who sought for Derek, she couldn’t control her fury. Anger rose up within her. “Good, how amazing. Yet another young lady. Come on, invite her in. I want to see where you got another side chick.”The first stage of their disagreement was the Ivy club and now, he had the guts to bring ladies into his matrimonial time just to visit? Isn't he such a disrespectful fool! Brenda told herself with a hint of disgust flashed across her brow after looking out the window only to discover a lady had really come for him.She pressed the doorbell severally. Upon her entry, Derek got to confirm it was Megan. She fluttered her gaze at Derek and tried to shy away her face, due to the fact that he was bare chested. At first sight, she couldn't help but admire his handsomeness.Well defined torso and perfectly curled hair. At that moment, she discovered his sea blue eyes, sparkling like the ocean at the refle
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 98
Next day…Brenda tossed restlessly on the bed, she lifted her gaze to the roof, staring at nothing in particular She just couldn't understand why she felt a sense of longing after her husband had left. ‘I should be utterly disappointed in this man, but there’s been only one thought in my mind since he disappeared from my sight: I miss him!’ she mumbled to herself Whereas, Derek had followed Megan for the competition. Although he was asked to represent his home country, Dominican, yet he felt nothing important attached to doing such.Instead, he felt like it was a clear waste of time and effort, but since he had made promises, he had no choice but to fulfill it.There, he spotted Abigail. With the broad smile on her face, he could guess sge was grateful that he had agreed to represent their country in the competition.Then, they exchanged their contact numbers, and Abigail told him that she would inform him of the details closer to the date.Derek was surprised the competition wasn't

Felix was surprised to hear a whole Gage, number one prominent figure, call Derek his boss. Before he got to confront Derek, he already made a series of researches and findings about him.All of which pointed out to the fact that he is just a thrash, useless son in law of Dominican.Married to Brenda Reid which he always had an eye for.He had always sought ways to get Derek's attention and lay him off Brenda's back. He had however succeeded in meeting him, but now he got devastating news.Felix fluttered his brow twice in disgust and Interjected, he was yet to process the news when Gage commanded."What are you supposed to do after fighting your boss?" Felix fell to his knees at the voice of Gage."I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you or even your wife in that way.""Apologize right away!" Gage added. Immediately, Felix did as spoken, and encouraged his employees to do the same too. At the same time, he sent out the warning. "Each and everyone of you should have whatever video yo

Derek glanced and saw to it that Clarine was quite balanced before he turned to the manager and said. "You’re Cornor Jasper, right? Are you the manager here? The mall should have CCTVs around, so we’ll know if she’s telling the truth once we check them.”Derek was used to such treatment, they made the law to suit only those who had a name and the other who had no manner of recognition, ended up taking the blame.This time, Clarine was recognised, but the manager was willing to take his pound of flesh from her. A more reason he had stopped them.Cornor's lips curled up menacingly. His gaze was filled with hatred for Derek. He turned towards him and said,“You piece of trash! Did you think I wouldn’t recognize you? You’re just the useless matrilocal son-in-law of the Reid family. Hey, Clarine is your wife’s best friend, isn’t she? Are you cheating on your wife with her?”His words were downright shameless and accusatory.Initially, this hadn’t been a big deal. After all, two guests had s

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
CHAPTER 290
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
CHAPTER 289
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
