Hello guys, Sorry if I can't update many chapters, I'm busy with my thesis. Don't forget to give suggestions and criticisms for this novel. thank you
"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
"Hey, have you heard yet? Charles is the son of a rich family!" "Really?" "Yes! Yesterday I went to a party thrown by his grandfather. And do you know who his grandfather is? Michael Duke! We know who he is, right? A very wealthy businessman and it turns out Charles is his grandson." "Well, it's only fitting that the police who came to this university didn't dare to arrest him." News of Charles spread quickly. Some people invited to the party were shocked to discover what the party was about. The person who had fought with Deon, whom they often saw as poor, was from a wealthy family. For a moment, they were grateful that they had done nothing wrong to Charles. They never imagined that they would have received a very painful retaliation from Michael if they had hurt Charles. Erick and Damian, who had also heard the news, were in disbelief. Their family had not been invited to the party last night because their family's position was not that high to attend parties of essential peo
"How was it? Do you agree?" Isabella asked quickly after she explained what offer she was making to the men. "I guess your brain isn't working anymore after breaking up with Deon, Isabel." Damian mocked. "Yes, you're right, Damian. We're just wasting our time by coming to a seedy place like this. It turns out that the offer given does not match what we will receive." Erick gave Damian the code to follow him out of the empty building. When they had just turned around, a cold iron was felt on the skin of Erick's neck. "You can't leave this place if you don't agree to my offer, Erick. You only have two choices, agree or die!" The cold object turned out to be a very sharp-looking knife. Isabella placed the knife on Erick's neck when he was caught off guard. Meanwhile, Damian, who was beside Erick, moved to attack Isabella. But unfortunately, it turned out that it was not just the three of them in the building. Inside the building, there were already tons of Dominic's bodyguards. The
The cooperation with Browzka's company was over. Charles returned to the company with mixed feelings. He didn't like cooperating with Dominic's company, but his grandfather had said that the cooperation this time was crucial. They couldn't just let go of the opportunity to cooperate with Browzka's company. By collaborating, Duke's company would become more extensive, and the cooperation would bring huge profits.After returning to his office, Charles asked Sherly to sit down momentarily for her opinion. Despite only having the secretary status, Sherly's experience was certainly more than his own. "What is it, Sir? Is there anything you need?" Sherly sat on the chair in front of her boss's desk."In your opinion, is the cooperation that has been agreed upon profitable or not?" Charles asked the question that had been running through his brain. "The contract with Browzka's company?" Charles nodded. "Yes." "I can't say that the cooperation between the Duke company and the Browzka co
After Charles left, Andrew immediately pulled his son's body and gave him a light punch out of annoyance. "Why did you come to the company when Charles came, huh? If you hadn't come, Dad could have lied to him and Dad wouldn't have had to pay a penalty for getting you out of jail!" Deon, who heard his father's anger, just shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care. "So what if I came here? After all, sooner or later he'll find out and will ask Dad to pay the fine. So, why the delay?" "Tsk. This is business. If we can make more profit, why not?" Andrew exhaled a harsh breath. "But, is it true that the man you said hates Charles will help us pay for all these losses? Including the money Charles has invested?" Andrew confirmed. He didn't want to lose, let alone lose significance. He didn't like Charles because he had put his son in jail. Besides, it was also because of Charles that his girlfriend dumped him. Although he was grateful for not being used by Isabella for too long, he w
"How? Do you have any clues as to where my grandson is?" Michael looked at Rose, who had just walked into his room. "I'm sorry, Sir. For the time being I haven't found any clues from Mr. Charles' apartment. Everything is clean, there are no signs of violence or traces of coercion that could be used as clues. Also, the CCTV in the apartment is not working." "I know about that too!" Michael was very mad and breathing heavily. Someone took away his grandson, and the people supposed to protect him didn't know where he was.Michael was feeling very confused and couldn't think clearly. It had been a long time, and many things could happen. Especially because Charles was recently announced as the main person to inherit the Duke family, it was clear that the people who took him must want to harm and take him away forever."I don't want to know. You must be able to find information on where my grandson is now within 2 hours. Otherwise, you will be responsible for his disappearance!" Michael
