The Formidable Heir YOU, INGRATE
IN A LUXURIOUS VILLA, DOWNTOWN AURORA...A stunning woman in her early forties clad in a flimsy gown with no bra sits leisurely on a large couch, her legs crossed in elegance as she calmly sips her wine while flipping through the channels.She seems to be searching for a specific channel. Perhaps, her favorite show is about to begin. It's no doubt to say she is a big shot as she exudes a magnificent aura and the sitting room is furnished with gleaming blue pearl tiles and golden chandeliers.A few steps away from her, there's a small aquarium filled to the brim with all sorts of fishes, giving the room a colorful view.The woman smiles as she finally locates the channel she's been searching so much for and sinks into the couch, making herself much more comfortable. She should have been at her hospital right now, taking care of some matters, but she woke up in the morning tired even after missing her alarm, so decided not to stress herself any further and instead relax at home. After
The Formidable Heir EXASPERATED CATHERINE
There is a member of the Hutton family in my hospital right now? I have to make up for everything that has happened? What the hell has happened?! I'll lose my life and my hospital if I don't end up pleasing the member of the Hutton family who I've committed a grave sin against even though I've been home all day?The woman, who carries Catherine Garfield is perplexed and shocked at the same time.She's shocked because a member of the Hutton family visited her hospital! But then perplexed because she doesn't understand a thing that is going on. She's been home all day, how could she have offended the member of the Hutton family? This is so frustrating!She should be overjoyed that a prestigious member of the Hutton family is currently in her hospital as it is a great honor, but instead, she is terrified. Extremely terrified!Why didn't Chad notify her that a member of the Hutton family was on his way to her hospital so she could personally attend to him? Fuck! She is so exasperated! God
The Formidable Heir YES, I AM LUCIAN WOOD!
The fast-paced thumping of her feet against the floored floor as she moves is loud for everyone to hear. Her face is flushed and her whole body is drenched in sweat. Her hair is splattered all over her face and she is almost dropping a tear. She has never found herself in such a state before. Her heart is panting laboriously.The few people in the lobby are staring at her with their mouths agape as they recognize who she is! Why wouldn't they? This is the prestigious CEO of Silver Crest Hospital! This hospital! Most of them, even though they are big shots, never dreamed of meeting her one on one at this time in their lives! They're almost jumping up and down with joy! What an honor!"It's truly her! It's truly her! Oh my god!""Wow, she looks more beautiful than her pictures across the web and social media platforms give her credit for!""But...,"They can't help but halt their babbles and crease their brows as they notice how exasperated she is and her unprofessional attire. "What'
The Formidable Heir THESE IDIOTS!
He is Lucian Wood? Catherine is rendered speechless. When Chad Kennedy told her a member of the Hutton family is in her hospital, she assumed he would be a man in his forties or older. This is because Chad spoke so highly of him. She had also felt fear in Chad's tone as he spoke about him. It was as if he is afraid of whoever the member of the Hutton family is. For all she knows, Chad is not even afraid of the direct descendants of the Hutton family as he works directly under Mr. Michael, the patriarch of the Huttons family. And from her research, the direct descendants of the Huttons are all middle-aged men and women. Some are even way past middle age. So since Chad was afraid of him and the direct descendants are middle aged and above, she felt that the guest Chad talked about must be Mr. Michael's brother or brother's son, therefore, he should be in his forties or older.That, however, to her amazement, is not the case in any way! As she takes in Lucian's features, she can tell t
The Formidable Heir DANGEROUS LOW TONE
"Doctor Bertram, yea, hey, are you still in the hospital? Yes, it's me. You are just coming out from the theater and about to head home? Oh, good, good! Thank goodness! Yes, I have something I want you to take care of."Come to the lobby, I'm standing in front of the receptionist's counter. I know. I know. You don't have to tell me. It's very important. Yes, I have an esteemed patient I need you to attend to. Of course, I'm in the hospital! Come down here right away! Alright. Don't keep me waiting."She drops back the telephone on the counter, turns to Lucian, and says politely, "Doctor Bertram is the best doctor in this hospital, Mr. Wood, he is second only to me. He is both a medical doctor and a great surgeon. "He just came out of the theater. Had a successful operation. He'll be here shortly. Before that, could you please tell me what happened to the young girl?"Lucian does not find the question offensive, so he answers honestly and succinctly, "I rescued her from being raped to
The Formidable Heir WHO GAVE THEM THE GUTS?!
Catherine's heart leaps into her belly. Just now, this young man looked so calm, as if he can't hurt a fly. He resembled a perfect gentleman with a big heart. But now, he looks more like a ferocious ripper who can't wait to rip off the hearts of his offenders. The abrupt switch is so alarming!She didn't think he'd let her go without her making up for everything her employees did, but she actually hoped he would because she's been so respectful and polite to him. But she can see now that he is having none of it! He is no pushover and doesn't have a big heart. She is really still in very big trouble.She swallows a clump of spittle and wipes sweat from her forehead with her handkerchief. His statement has just made her break into a cold sweat. Thank goodness Marc handed her that kerchief before she rushed out of the car. "Su... Sure, Sir! I promise to make up for everything!" She stutters, shuddering.Before he can say anything, Lucian's phone blinks and begins ringing. He brings it o
The Formidable Heir MR. WOOD, YOUR CARD
Catherine drops anchor on Lucian's feet. She holds onto one of his legs and begins bawling her eyes out. She can't find any words to express how she feels. She can only sob.Lucian frowns. He has never liked seeing the female gender cry. No matter their age, seeing them cry pricks his heart. He lets out a long sigh. He is deeply moved by her tears. Should he just let it go? He speculates, biting on his fingernails. The thought, however, does not last long as he instantly deletes it the moment the images of everything the employees did to him flash before his eyes.He kicks Catherine's hands off his leg and takes two steps backward to create enough space between them. "You caused all this, Catherine. Do you think tears can solve it all? You better get your ass up and take responsibility for your sins!"I'm wondering what you thought was gonna come out of it all when you achieved fame and then thought that you were God! You have the opportunity to save so many souls, but you chose mone
The Formidable Heir TRANSACTION SUCCESSFUL!
Lucian is rendered speechless. His family never ceases to amaze him. He hasn't known about them for long as he only got to find out about his real identity today, but he can confidently say that they live up to their status! Even the best hospital's security system is a trivial thing for them to exploit! Thinking deeper into that, he can see that it wouldn't have taken Chad up to a minute to destroy this hospital. Why would it when he could easily tap into the hospital's security system?He can't help but realize how lucky of a woman Catherine is to have chosen to listen to him. He can't start to imagine what would have happened to her if she didn't. Perhaps, she would have been reduced to the status of a pauper by now.He chuckles at the image of her clad in shabby clothes flashing through his mind and accepts the card from the burly tall figure."Thank you," he mouths discreetly."Just doing my job, boss," the tall burly figure responds playfully and bows.Lucian rolls his eyes a

SO EAGER TO GRANT YOUR WISH!
Perhaps he believes as far as he pushed down his ego and begged, he would undoubtedly be forgiven. After all, Lucian is a man who appears to be easily moved by apologies, regardless if they were genuine or not.But he had got it all wrong this time as Lucian merely scoffs as soon as he finishes putting up the forgive me drama and retorts,"Fancy you kneeling there and yelling I shouldn't do this when you brought it upon yourself. Hah! I've been patient enough with you, but I see you might be taking my benevolence for weakness and dismissing me as a pushover you can snap at and curse whenever you want. "As a result, I might pardon others as they didn't concur or refute you when you said what you said, but I would never pardon you! "Since you've finally succeeded to cross my bottom line, you might as well bear the consequences! Only after you've suffered that would you realize how ruthless I am as a person and know that I'm no pushover!"He sways his gaze to Chester. "Keep away from

I'M SORRY!
With each word Lucian says, Cole and his brothers feel a pang in their chests that by the time he is done talking, their chests can't help but begin aching. Simultaneously, their brows crinkle and their face contort in discomfort. This is indeed what they planned to do. They'd suffered so much just because of the useless little girl and her boyfriend.Obviously, there was no way they would have let that lying down. It was just as Lucian said, they'd silently planned in their hearts to seek revenge against him later because they had to verify his identity first but would go ahead to kill the little girl and her boyfriend immediately since they already know their statuses. Like, they had not been planning to let that revenge-seeking cross today.They've always loved serving their revenge hot. But what they never expected is that Lucian will easily figure out their untold plans. A plan they had not even discussed amongst themselves but harbored only in their respective hearts. They

ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
'My sister,' as those simple yet powerful words leave Lucian's lips and infiltrate the little girl's eardrums, an overwhelming sensation course through her veins, and her eyes well up with tears. She doesn't know why, but hearing Lucian refer to her as his sister makes her so aroused and emotional.Maybe because she never had a big brother, let alone one who would stand up for her so selflessly. What aggravates her emotions even more is the fact that Lucian knows nothing about her. Like, he has never met her before yet he is so willing to go to the ends of the world for her. The knowledge that she now has a stranger as a big brother and a powerful one at that is quite weird yet so overwhelming and soothing."Thank you, thank you so much," she can't help but express her heartfelt gratitude. "I'm really grateful!" Her eyes sparkle and she pouts, looking much like a pouting kitten.Lucian is instantly overwhelmed with the strong urge to laugh as the little girl is so amusing right now w

DO I NEED TO TEACH YOU?!
Callum's brows furrow and his face contort in displeasure. At this moment, he seemingly appears to be both perplexed and displeased. According to what the little girl said, she accepted his apologies. He is sure he heard that right, so why should he apologize to her again, or could it be that the girl was merely being sarcastic?But it doesn't seem that way. In that case, that can only mean she meant it and that Lucian is the one who is twisting her words for whatever reason. An acid taste creeps into his tongue and he clenches his fists.Since Lucian now calls the shots, he must be doing it on purpose to trample on his ego and shatter it if possible.His nose flares up in rage and he furiously turns, seemingly as if he wants to pick a fight with him, but as his gaze lands on Rome and Chester's murderous faces, a chill runs down his spine and he jerks twice as if he had been electrocuted."I-""You are twisting my words!" Before he can say anything, the little girl says helplessly an
- The Formidable Heir
APPEARS YOU WANT TO DIE!
The little girl is gaping at Callum as if she is seeing him for the first time and her heart is thumping so strongly, loudly, and quickly, a cloudburst of blood surging through her veins in tides upon tides. Who would have guessed that Callum, one of the burly figures who seemed so powerful and tyrannical to her would be reduced to this?She is so stunned at the sudden twist in events that her jaw is practically dropping to the floor, and she doesn't in the slightest know how to handle it. Regardless, she is just a pauper who has spent her entire life in the slums and is at the bottom of society. As a result, her self-esteem has taken a significant hit, plummeting to an all-time low. And this has had so many negative effects on her, one of which is the fact that she has, over the years, grown accustomed to being the one begging others, and with the exception of her boyfriend, who begs her occasionally when he offends her, no one else has ever begged her. One could imagine just how bi

I'M SORRY!
"That's very easy," Lucian grins darkly. "Don't they like to fuck anything in a skirt? We can as well have them try something new!" "Something like what, My Lord?" Rome doesn't even let a second pass as he quickly asks, his eyes gleaming with so much curiosity in them."Something like fucking the same gender!" Lucian sneers and passes his tongue over his lower lip, exuding a sinister aura."Wow!" Rome gasps and an ecstatic smile breaks out on his face. "You sure deserve to be My Lord!" He proclaims with so much reverence, admiration, and pride in his voice and bows 90°. Yes, this is the formidable Python Lord he has pledged to serve for the rest of his life! He sure lives up to his name!"I have no doubt that this is a nice blood-rising plan, My Lord, but there are no new guys here, so even if that was possible, who would they lay with?" Chester twists his brows disconcertingly as he implores, seemingly not that enthusiastic yet."How can you be so slow-witted?" Lucian frowns. "Do the

BUT HOW DO WE ACHIEVE IT?
"Such a bunch of cowards!" Rome hisses, glaring disdainfully at Cole and his brothers. "For experts with such murderous auras, I assumed you guys would be at least interesting and hard nuts to crack but turns out you three are so pathetic and a disgrace to your expertise! You don't deserve to be called experts at all as you are just a useless bunch of scared mice! "Gosh, you three might be the death of me if I don't take time because you infuriate me to no end!" Rome is so provoked that his babbling spirit suddenly takes over him and he loses rationality and begins babbling and babbling at the top of his lungs, his eyes bloodshot and his fists clenched so tightly that they now bright red and might start bleeding anytime soon if he doesn't control his rage and loosen up."Buddy," seeing this, Chester doesn't waste a second as he smacks him on the head, yelling, "Earth to me!"Rome shudders violently, almost dropping to the floor, but Chester is fast to catch him and steady him. "This

WITHIN AN INCH OF THEIR LIVES
"But I've already been struck before," before Carl and Callum can bring themselves to say anything, Cole, who had assumed he wouldn't be included in the beating since he has already been struck by Rome and suffered a vital blow, says in a barely audible whisper, his voice full of so much reverence and his face flustered.It's not that he respects Lucian, or fears him, nah, not at all. To him, Lucian is still a lad who doesn't deserve his respect. So what if he might be an heir to a top-tier family? Does he have what it takes to command respect from a man of his skills?Hmph! He's just a fragile heir who only has his family to rely on, and without them, he is nothing. He has never taken all these heirs seriously because the majority of them are utterly useless and incompetent. They can't even fight themselves out of danger and would always depend on their guards.Their very existence irritates him and as such his reverence towards Lucian just now is only because of Rome and Chester at h
