The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 16
"Mr. Charles, good morning," Andrew said hello to Charles when he saw him come into his office."Good morning too, Mr. Andrew. How was it? Have you given any thought to my offer?" asked Charles."Yes, of course. But can the terms be changed, Mr. Charles? I think 50% of the shares is too much. After all, my company is a big company, not a start-up. I have many connections. So you don't have to worry if your investment fails in this company." Andrew made another offer so that he wouldn't lose too much by accepting the offer. If Andrew wasn't in a hurry, he would have said no to Charles immediately. It's understandable why he would feel that way. Giving away half of the shares is like giving away the company that Andrew has worked hard to build since he was young and letting Charles have it.How could Andrew think like that? Of course, it's because he only owns 30% of the shares in the company, while the rest is owned by other investors even though the amount is not more than his. But

Isabella got worried when she saw Andrew's car outside her house. But she got even more scared when she saw that the front door was wide open and Andrew wasn't downstairs.She quickly went upstairs to her bedroom and was surprised to find Andrew and Deon making a mess and breaking things in her room."What are you guys doing in my house, huh? What?!" Isabella screamed. She quickly went up to Andrew and got surprised when she saw her ex-boyfriend holding a box with jewelry inside."Give it back! Give me back my jewelry!" Isabella wanted to get her jewelry back from Deon, but he stopped her by holding her hands tightly. "Hurry up and get everything, Dad. Don't let any of the things Dad gave her be left in this house." Deon gave an order that his father immediately answered with a nod. "No! What are you doing? Those things are mine! You can't just take them. Let go of me, Deon! Are you so poor that you take other people's jewelry, huh?!" Isabella kept complaining, and it made Deon fee

"No! I don't understand and will never try to understand you! What did I get out of this university for anyway? This university is not yours, Deon! My life doesn't belong to you either. So you have no right to expel me, let alone ask me to obey your orders!" Charles gripped Deon's hand from his collar in a rough way. Erick and Damian, who saw Charles brushing off Deon's hand violently, immediately became angry. They both immediately came forward and hit Charles several times. Seeing Erick and Damian, who immediately hit Charles, his other friends did the same. They beat Charles so many times that he was badly injured. This time Charles didn't fight back like he usually did. He let Deon and his friends hit him many times. Charles almost fainted from being beaten until one of the lecturers finally saw and broke them all up. "What's going on? Stop it!" The lecturer named, Margaretta shouted. When she saw Deon and his friends stop beating Charles, two immediately approached and helped

Tony was stunned. He knew that Charles was not a random person. Moving quickly, he approached Charles and apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Charles. I promise to improve this office so that I don't take anyone for granted anymore. Please forgive me. I request that you do not make a report to my superiors." Charles snorted. He wanted to teach a lesson to those policemen who consistently discriminated against people based on their position, but he didn't have time. "Alright, this time I'll give you a chance. Improve the leadership and management system of this police station, Mr. Tony! If I find out that you haven't changed at all, then don't blame me if you lose your job." "Yes, sir." Tony nodded. He breathed a sigh of relief that Charles still gave him a second chance to make things right. "You don't have to worry, Mr. Charles. As for your report, I will process it quickly." "That's good. I'll see how it goes." Charles came out of the police station. He drove his car to the campus. H

"You! How dare you humiliate me like this. You'll see, when I get out of this prison, I'll kill you on the spot!" Deon shook his cell. He tried to get out even though it was impossible. "How can you kill me? You can't even trap me, let alone kill me. Get a grip, Deon. Remember, there is still sky above the sky. Don't be arrogant!" Deon was panting with anger. He was speechless. Charles would be dead right now if his eyes could kill a person because of Deon's piercing gaze. "Are you saying that your father will save you? Right? Then, let me call your father and ask if he wants to release you or not." Charles took his cell phone and called Andrew. "Mr. Andrew, your favorite son wants to talk to you." He put their conversation on loudspeaker so Deon could hear directly what his father was talking about. "No need, Mr. Charles. Just tell him that I won't help him get out of jail. It's enough that he almost destroyed my company by fighting with you. If he gets out of jail later, he coul

"Sorry, Miss. You can't take these clothes because someone has already ordered them." The employee took back the clothes that Isabella had grabbed. "Huh, who wants to buy these clothes? I'll pay double if you give me these clothes." Isabella negotiated, was fascinated by the clothes, and was sure that her new boyfriend would look even more handsome if he wore them. "This outfit has already been ordered by this Miss and Sir."The employee signaled to Isabella that the person who had ordered and was going to buy the clothes was standing right next to her. Isabella quickly turned her body to see who it was, and she was really surprised to see Charles looking at her with a mean smile. "You?!" She pointed at Charles, but her finger was shaking a lot."Tsk, what are you here for? Is this world so narrow that I have to meet you again?" Isabella was really frustrated and upset. A while ago, Charles dumped her after she broke up with Andrew. Because of that, she lost someone who would give

"Why are you always looking at him, Babe? Are you interested in that guy you said was poor?" Dominic expressed his heart, and he was a little curious about the exaggerated response given by his girlfriend. "Y-yes? Why? Oh no, I'm not interested in him, Babe. I just find it curious how come he comes from a rich family, whereas as far as I know since childhood he lived in an orphanage." "An orphanage? Hm, maybe he was kidnapped as a child." Isabella furrowed her brows. "Kidnapped? How strange. Is that what life is like for people like you? You've been in danger since you were a child because you were born into a rich family." Dominic smiled wryly. There were so many horrible things that often happened in rich families. Not just kidnappings, even murders often occurred even though they were not published in the media. The hostility in the rich families was very scary. They usually play subtly, constantly hiring mafia or hitmen to fight their business opponents. "Being rich is not a

"Charl, aren't you asleep yet?" Michael approached his grandson, who was brooding by the pool. "Grandpa?" Charles looked back and was very surprised to see that his grandfather hadn't gone to bed yet, even though it was already 2 am. "Why aren't you sleeping?" Michael repeated his question. "It's nothing, Grandpa. I just feel that from tomorrow my life will change drastically from before. Now people know me as the heir to the Duke family, not a bodyguard anymore." Charles let out the thoughts that had been bothering him. "So what? Isn't that great? Don't you like your new status, Charl?" "I like it, Grandpa. It's just that when I think about how tragic my mother and father's lives were, I'm afraid that I'll have to go through the same thing when I lead the Duke family company." Michael exhaled harshly. "The events of 20 years ago were indeed horrible and imprinted on Grandpa's memory. Not only did I lose my son and daughter-in-law, but I also lost you. But that's all in the past

Will stares at the tombstone with Michael's name on it without blinking. His mind went blank momentarily as he stared at the word and then exhaled loudly.Two years had passed since Michael's death, and Charles was not doing well. The events of two years ago made Charles sickly and weak.The breeze distracted Will, who was transfixed for a moment. He was concerned about Charles' condition and the man's company, which needed a successor."It's all because of that damn woman. If only Elizabeth-""There's no need to regret what happened," Will said quickly. He stares at the headstones of Michael and his parents without blinking.Charles let out a long, hard breath."I even made things easier," Charles said.It was Will's turn to exhale. He had often heard Charles express his guilt, which only worsened his condition. Will gripped the handles of Charles' wheelchair tightly."At least, in this situation, you still have hope," Will said, and then he turned his gaze to stare at the sky mixed w

"Bugh...." The sound of falling objects was heard so loudly from inside Michael's room that it startled everyone, especially Charles who was arguing with Isabella. "What is it?" Charles immediately ran to his grandfather's room followed by everyone who was gathered earlier. Charles headed for his grandfather's room after hearing a loud noise. This was followed by Isabella. When he opened the door, Charles was very surprised to see Elizabeth in his grandfather's room which was already unlocked. "Elizabeth, what are you doing here?" Charles was really surprised when he saw the scene that was presented in front of his eyes. There, Charles saw his grandfather slit his own throat and seemed to have died when he came because his grandfather's body looked very pale."Grandpa ...." Charles was in shock. He looked at Elizabeth with a look of disbelief in his eyes, as did Isabella who apparently followed Charles."Elizabeth, why are you here." Isabella wondered. "Elizabeth ... you...." He

Isabella carried out her plan well. She approached Michael, visited often and gave many gifts to her grandfather to smooth the way of her plan. However, the plan that had been drawn up could not run smoothly because now Charles lived in the Duke's family mansion. Isabella tried to be careful when approaching Michael. "Grandpa, would you like me to make you a drink?" "Yes. Would you mind making a drink for me? You can just tell the servant to make it for you." "That's fine. I don't have anything to do anyway. I just want to make you happy."Michael, who felt that Isabella was very attentive, did not have the slightest suspicion. He thought that Isabella was craving for affection because she had no one but him. "Yes. Make me some orange juice. It seems that drinking fresh juice like that, can make my day more colorful." "Okay Grandpa, I'll make it first." Isabella with her sweet smile made Orange juice for her grandfather. Arriving in the kitchen Isabella took the ingredien

Taking care of the organization made Sebastian forget some things. His busyness made him neglect Elizabeth a little. This was not a problem for Elizabeth. She was even happy because she didn't have to deal with Sebastian often.Unfortunately, because he was too busy, Sebastian didn't know that Elizabeth was secretly meeting with someone. That person was planning something on Sebastian, with Elizabeth as his ally."I was hoping you would be on my side. Are you willing?" the figure asked Elizabeth.Elizabeth flinched. Really, she did not expect to be in this position."Of course I'm willing. I will side with you," Elizabeth said with a smile. In her eyes, she immediately imagined how Sebastian's life would be.***That week, Sebastian deliberately did not take care of his organization. He deliberately relaxed at home in the company of Elizabeth. Yes, it had been a while since Sebastian had relaxed like this. It could be said that this was a very rare time, so Sebastian had to make the m

"Nooo!"Michael exclaimed and instantly opened his eyes.It was the same dream all over again. Michael sat up with a sweaty forehead. His eyes were glued to his blanket-covered feet. The dream seemed real, as he was on the edge of a cliff and someone was pushing him from behind."What a horrible dream," Michael whispered to himself.He vividly remembered how his body turned as he plunged and he saw the grin on the face of the person who pushed him. He couldn't see the face at all, as the sunlight refracted behind his body. But he knew it was the grin of someone who wanted to harm him."This is all a dream. Yes, it's just a dream."Michael tried to calm himself down. Honestly, dreams were like a scourge that haunted him lately.They say dreams are the flower of sleep. But is that really the case? What if we keep dreaming about it? Couldn't dreams be the clues that the subconscious gives to our lives?That's what made Michael depressed. Yes, the dream made the old man think about it all

Sebastian let out a short breath. He lit the end of his cigarette using the lighter, then took a deep drag, just to relax his frantic mind.There was one thing Sebastian was thinking about at the moment, and that was Ken's death. For some reason he felt something was off, but he didn't know exactly what it was. What was clear was that Ken's death made him feel uncomfortable, as if there was something he had missed."I think that's enough for me. I don't want to interfere in the Duke family's life anymore. Let them have their life, I have mine. There's no point in meddling in other people's family affairs anyway."Sebastian gave a small nod. Yes, it was better that way. He would focus on taking care of his organization. He would also live happily with Elizabeth. Sebastian thought that was probably what Elizabeth wanted from him as well.Honestly, Sebastian wanted to build a happy life with Elizabeth. He wanted her to be completely separated from the Duke's family. That's why he wanted

"Has Ken's death been confirmed?" Charles asked for confirmation.Elizabeth nodded. "Of course. The man is lifeless. There's no way he can live again. Don't you take my word for it? Do I look like someone who likes to spread fake news? Besides, didn't you see for yourself that the man was dead?" Elizabeth was a little offended that Charles didn't seem to believe her words."It's not like that. I just didn't expect him to die this easily.""What is clear is that he is already dead.""Alright. I'll tell Grandpa the news. It's good news to me. Ken deserved to die."Charles went to see Michael, his grandfather. The old man was relaxing in the den smoking a cigar. The large window in the room was open so that the smoke could escape freely.Relaxing while smoking a cigar had become Michael's habit during his leisure time. There were tons of books in the reading room. Strangely enough, Michael only liked collecting those books. Of all the books in his collection, perhaps only ten percent had

Bad statements about Charles continued to spread. He let his men take care of it all so that he wouldn't have to follow the news anymore.Charles is now focusing on the company he is managing. He can't be caught off guard by the news that is cornering him. Ken must be thinking of ways to attack him so he must anticipate all the bad possibilities that will happen. "People's statements are increasingly cornering the Duke family, what should we do?" The report came to Charles who was thinking of ways to defend his company. "Is the news spreading to the detriment of the family or the company?" Charles asked. "No.""Then, you take care of that matter. I have to take care of the company so that it won't falter and be easily destroyed by other companies." Charles gave the order. "Rose, arrange a meeting with Elizabeth. I need to make sure that she is willing to work with me and is willing to carry out the plan that I have laid out." "What can Elizabeth do?" Rose asked, she didn't
