THE HEIR Chapter 154
Ruby had never felt restless like she was feeling currently. Damian had stayed in his room all day and she kept wondering what was going on in his head. Admitting her relationship with him when he asked could have messed his brain up because he would be so confused of who he really was. Damian on the other hand laid in his bed, hoping what he was guessing was actually not true. He is starting to like Ruby,but he couldn't imagine her being his first love and he had been lied to, that it was Veronica. He wouldn't be able to forgive such if that was the case. He hated that there was no sincere person around him to tell him the truth. Then he remembered the bra he found in his Study when he just got back home. It looked small for Veronica,but now that he was thinking about it,it looked like something that would fit Ruby, including the fact that she tried to take it away from him. Damian's eyes narrowed as he thought about the bra, his mind racing with possibilities. He threw off the co

The DNA Ashley did on her end proved that Javier Caden was indeed her son which was so confusing to her,so she went back to the Doctor who delivered her baby to question him. Since her own son was dead,and the stranger she happened to meet just because he was forcefully accused was proved to also be her son. The only place she could think about getting her answers from was the hospital she delivered her baby in. Even after giving birth,the hospital served as the hospital for her family so the Doctors and the nurses were so familiar with her. “Is Professor Sean in?” She asked his assistant. “Yes he is,” the assistant replied with a smile. “Since you don't have an appointment with him,I'll just go in briefly and tell him you are here ma’am” the assistant said politely and both Ashley and Thomas nodded. After a few minutes the Assistant came back with a broad smile on her face. “The professor said you can come in. In fact he is glad to see you” “Of course he is” Ashley said and sm

“What's the situation outside?" Mathew asked Nathan, who visited him in his cell. Nathan's voice was barely audible, his words laced with despair. "It's terrible. The world has turned against you, Father. Your involvement in Damian's murder and the attempted murder of Javier is all over the news." Mathew's expression became calculative. "But they have no concrete evidence linking me to the attempted murder. I'll be fine. What I need now is for you to arrange a visit from Mr. Louis. I need his connections to get me out of this mess." Nathan's expression was grim. "I doubt Mr. Louis will even consider visiting you. Ashley informed the board that you no longer have their secrets in your hand and they're planning to vote you out as Vice President." Mathew's anger erupted, his fist slamming onto the table. "What? They're betraying me before I've even been sentenced? I won't go down without a fight." Nathan shook his head and silently hoped that he wouldn't be arrested as an accomplice

Ruby's wrists were bound behind her back, and she struggled to free herself, but the restraints were too tight. As she looked up, Veronica's giggle sent a chill down her spine. "Finally awake, are we?" Veronica sneered, bending down to taunt them. "I was starting to think you two were going to sleep the day away when you refused to wake up last night.I hate doing this in broad daylight, but you've left me no choice." Damian's eyes blazed with anger as he sat up, his teeth gritted. "What the hell is going on, Veronica? Have you lost your mind?" Veronica's expression turned icy. "Too soon to be angry, sweetheart. You have no idea how much it hurts to lose to someone like her... again and again." Her voice rose to a yell. "You left me for her, Damian! Twice!" Ruby hastily intervened, fearing for her life. "Wait, Veronica, we're not together! Damian and I, we're not a couple." Veronica's gaze snapped to Ruby, her eyes flashing with hatred. "Shut up! I don't want to hear your lies

"Open your eyes, Damian!" Ruby urged, her voice laced with desperation as the water level began to recede. She slapped his cheeks gently but firmly, trying to get him conscious. "Hey, wake up! Please, open your eyes!" When he didn't respond, Ruby's panic intensified. She began administering CPR, her hands pressing down on his chest in a rhythmic motion. Tears welled up in her eyes as she begged him to wake up. "Please, Damian! Open your eyes, please!" she cried out, her voice cracking with emotion. The thought of losing him like that was unbearable, and Ruby couldn't imagine it. They haven't even settled the issue she has with him,so why would he die? She continued CPR. The Detective, frustrated and desperate, rushed outside to confront Nathan. "How do we open the water tank?" he demanded, but Nathan played dumb. "Water tank? What are you talking about?" Nathan feigned ignorance, but the Detective wasn't having it so he punched Nathan hard on his face. Just as the Detective was ab

As Mathew was led away in handcuffs, he sneered at Ashley and Javier. "You think this is over? Just because I'm in here doesn't mean you've won. Nathan will always come after you two, just like I did." Javier chuckled and replied, "You mean the one in police custody? He actually proved himself to be your son, but that got him a cell instead." Mathew's face contorted in shock. "What? No, that can't be!" Javier winked at him. "Hopefully, you'll be cellmates." As Mathew was dragged out of the courtroom, he screamed, "No! That can't be true!" Ashley turned to Javier, confused. "What did you mean? What happened to Nathan?" Javier explained, "Last night, Ruby and I were abducted by Nathan and Veronica. We were trapped in a water tank, and I passed out. But thanks to Ruby's quick thinking, I survived. The police caught them, so they're in custody now." Ashley's eyes widened in shock. "What? That happened, and I had no idea? Oh my goodness, I'm so glad you two survived. He has definitel
THE HEIR Chapter 161
A week after Matthew's sentencing, Nathan and Veronica faced trial. Nathan received a 30-year prison sentence for attempted murder, while Veronica was sentenced to 25 years. As Nathan was led to his cell, he was met with a shocking sight: his father, Matthew, was bullied by older inmates. Matthew, once a formidable figure, now cowered and grovelled, desperate to appease his bullies. Nathan's eyes widened in horror as he screamed, "Dad!" One of Matthew's cellmates noticed Nathan and asked, "Is that your son?" Matthew hesitated, torn between saying the truth and protecting Nathan from potential harm. He knew that if he acknowledged Nathan as his son, the inmates would likely target him as well. With a surge of paternal instinct, Matthew denied any relation to Nathan, hoping to shield him from the harsh realities of prison life. As Nathan was dragged away, Matthew's eyes filled with a mix of shame and regret. —---------- Ashley's voice trembled as she addressed the board, her eyes c
