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,

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

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

On the way home, Charles was pensive for a moment. He was still thinking about what made Erick willing to give him the pen drive. Although he didn't know the contents of the pen drive, he was sure that the contents must be very secret. "Rose, why do you think Erick was willing to give me this pendrive? He even took the initiative first, even though I didn't know that he knew the secret about my kidnapping and Deon's death." Charles opened the conversation. "In my opinion, there must be something that makes Erick willing to do that, Sir. It could be that he feels that only you can solve all the problems that happened, especially about Deon's death. Aren't the two of them best friends? He must have been very hurt when he found out that his best friend died and his body was found on your campus." Charles nodded several times. The answer given by Rose was enough to satisfy him. "But I still don't understand, why wasn't he with Damian earlier? Did they have a fight? Usually they are alw

Charles asked Rose to tell the bodyguard who was with Erick to evacuate him. "Rose, ask the bodyguard who was there to take Erick to the hospital. Also, ask the other bodyguards to find a replacement body so that no one will know that we took Erick away from there." "Yes, Sir." Rose immediately informed the bodyguards who were there about Charles' order. "It's better to go to the hospital now. Let those bodyguards clean up the scene." Rose nodded. She immediately turned the car around and continued driving towards the hospital closest to where Erick was found. This time she had to be very careful because she was sure the person who had harmed Erick would return and check whether he was dead. Arriving at the hospital parking lot, Rose asked Charles to wear a mask, glasses, and a hat. She deliberately did that so no one would recognize her boss' face. "Erick has been handled by the hospital, Mr. Charles. In addition, I have also asked everyone involved to keep it a secret that he
