The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 32
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

"How are you, Erick? Did you tell me everything in person?" Charles asked Erick, who was lying on the bed in the hospital room. Today Charles took the time to visit Erick. It had been a week since the shooting incident, and Erick's condition was getting better. Although his condition was critical during surgery to remove the bullet in his head, he was lucky to survive. "Didn't I explain everything in that video? What else do you want to know?" Erick replied in a whispered voice. His strength still hadn't returned ultimately, and he could only lie on his bed as he was not allowed to do strenuous activities by the doctor. "I think there are many things you haven't told me, Erick. You only told me the gist of my kidnapped, but you didn't tell me the reason why Dominic do that. Also, I wonder why you didn't tell his father the reason for Deon's death." Erick looked at Charles seriously, then exhaled a few times to calm his racing heart. Dominic's attempted murder had traumatized him d

Charles was in a very difficult position. He didn't know what to say. The friendship that had been established between him and Daniel was not just a day or two but years. That's why he couldn't believe his best friend betrayed him. "What should I do?" Charles did not leave the room. He sat on the bed to calm down. If he met Daniel now, he might be unable to control himself."I don't understand. Why is it that after I became the main heir of the Duke family, so many people tried to kill me? If it was someone else, I wouldn't be so hurt, but why would Daniel do the same? Why would he do that?" While busy with his thoughts, Charles was startled by a knock on his bedroom door. "Charl, there's Rose outside. She said she had something very important to say." Daniel said as he opened the door. "Oh, okay. I'll be right out." Charles got up from the bed, he immediately approached Daniel, who was still waiting for him to come out of the room. "What important information does Rose have to

Inside the house, Rose went straight to her room. She knew that someone who deliberately entered and rummaged through her house must be looking for something, and her room was the most targeted place. "Rose, what's wrong? Why is your house so messy?" "It looks like they want to take the evidence, Mr. Charles." Rose checked the items in her room. Things were no longer where they were. The mattress was a mess, some books fell to the floor, and even the computer was on. Rose quickly checked her computer, from important files to videos the hacker had sent about Daniel. "Damn! They've found the evidence. How is this?" Rose panicked. She bit her nails as an outlet. "Rose, what's wrong? Who has done this to you?" Charles asked in a worried tone. "This is what I was afraid of, Mr. Charles. There is someone who deliberately came here to find information about you." Rose resigned, and she immediately invited Charles to leave her house. "Let's clean up your house first. After that, we'll

Isabella's assignment starts today. It just so happened that she had the same class as Charles. So, she took advantage of that to approach her ex-boyfriend. She waited for Charles in the car park. She will not waste time because a few minutes are too precious. "Charl!" Isabella shouted. She approached Charles, who had just gotten out of his car. Only a few steps Isabella approached, but she was forced to stop when she saw a woman exit the other car door. "Who is she? I seem to have seen her before." Isabella thought. She tried to remember the figure walking beside Charles, but unfortunately, she didn't remember anything. She felt like she had met that woman, but where? Seeing Charles and the woman walking away from her, Isabella immediately ran to stop them. "Charl! Wait for me!" Isabella shouted, her pace quickened not to lose track of her ex-boyfriend. Charles and the woman kept walking casually as if they didn't hear Isabella's shout. It seemed like they were deliberate bec

Charles did not keep his word. He preferred to continue with his plan without telling his Grandfather. He would still be rude but slowly soften his attitude so that Isabella would not suspect that he wanted to find information about Dominic through her. Rose, who knew about it, couldn't do anything. She could only monitor it. Moreover, she was asked to look from afar so that Isabella would not look for more problems because she was disturbed by their closeness."Charl, do you want to go to the cafeteria?" Isabella again launched her trick. She realized that Charles could not be approached immediately, so she approached him slowly so his heart would melt. Charles, who had thought about the positives and negatives, began to carry out his plan. "Hmm." That was all that came out of his lips. "Let's go." Charles neither refused nor nodded. He let Isabella follow him. He was sure his ex-girlfriend was happy because he did not argue or reject her. This time, he would play the role of de

"Who are you? I don't know you. What are you here for?" Charles stood up and looked sharply at the man who had just entered his room without his permission. "Don't you know me, Charles?" The man took off his mask. Yes, a mask. It wasn't a cloth covering half his face or a mask like a thief, but a mask that could disguise his identity. "Damian?" Seeing that Damian was standing in front of him, Charles immediately asked his secretary to leave as he knew he was about to have a serious conversation with him. "Sit down, Damian. Tell me what you are here to see me for." Charles asked, looking at Damian's face, which looked older than his age. The problems were stressing Damian out and affecting his health. His body looked even thinner than the last time he saw him. "I wanted to ask you a question." Damian looked back at Charles."What?" "Is it true that Erick is still alive?" Charles' eyes widened for a few seconds when he heard that question. "Why are you asking me that? Isn't Eric
