The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 24
"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 Hidden Duke Heir Chap 26
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

"Ugh! Where am I?" Charles winced. He touched his head where it hurt. "Are you awake, Sir?" Rose immediately approached Charles. "Awake? Did I faint?" asked Charles in surprise. "Have you forgotten the events of yesterday, Sir?" Charles shook his head. He was still holding his head which felt increasingly throbbing as he forced himself to remember what happened yesterday. "Don't push it, Sir. You'd better drink this first." Rose handed Charles a glass of water and the medicine prescribed by the Doctor for him to take after he woke up. With slightly trembling hands, Charles took the medicine and drank it. "What happened yesterday, Rose? Why can't I remember anything?" Rose smiled slightly. "Yesterday, you disappeared, Sir. We were all looking for you, from the office to some of the places you frequent. But strangely, you were found in the apartment unit next to this one. Did you buy a new apartment, Sir?" Charles was pensive. As he recalls, he didn't buy another apartment. "No,
The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 30
Charles came to the Duke family's main mansion in Washington. Many things confused him, especially some of the events that happened to him a few days ago. "Why did you come without telling Grandpa first, Charl?" Michael greeted his grandson's presence with a question. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I came here to ask you a question." Michael allowed his grandson to say the question. "I'm confused, Grandpa. There are many strange events happening. Apart from the kidnapping that happened to me yesterday, there is another, more shocking event happening." "What was it?" asked Michael curiously. "Deon... Deon was found dead, Grandpa. His body was very gruesome, it looks like he was tortured before he was killed." Michael gasped in shock. "Really?" Charles nodded. "Yes, Grandpa. Is that incident related to the kidnapping I experienced yesterday?" "Is that why you came here?" "Yes.""You shouldn't have come, Charl. You could have asked Grandpa on the phone. But that's okay, Grandpa likes you
The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 31
Dominic sat in his work chair, drinking coffee leisurely. Not a hint of regret could be seen on his face. "Looks like I'll have to find a new subordinate." Dominic muttered to himself. Deon's death was never premeditated. Everything happened spontaneously. He still needed Deon's power because Charles was still not dead. So if his attempt to kill Charles using poison failed, he could order Deon to kill him directly. For a split second, he remembered what happened yesterday. Right when Deon refused his every command. A few hours before Deon died..."I don't want to come with you! So what if I peeked at what you did to Charles? I'm the one who kidnapped him, so I should know what liquid you injected him with!"Dominic's teeth chattered. This was the first time someone had directly contradicted him. "You should feel grateful that I didn't take issue with you kidnapping Charles without telling me! But your peeping at what I was doing was out of line! You should be punished so that you

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

Ethan is missing will help her impose revenge by destroying the Duke family. Whether it's killing Charles or destroying the man's business.Isabella growled. She had contacted Ethan, but the man was unavailable. She was afraid that if she left the house and tried to meet Ethan, it would be bad and all plans would fall apart. However, waiting is not a good thing either.I don't know how many calls and messages Isabella sent to Ethan. She just hoped he would pick up and give her some news. She had already

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
