The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 40
There were two things Charles had to do today. The first is to meet Erick and ask for an explanation as to why he contacted Damian without asking permission first. And the second was to meet Daniel and apologize to him. Although he still had to be careful, he couldn't avoid his best friend.As for his dealings with Dominic, he would leave everything to Damian and Rose. He had asked his bodyguard to find information about Dominic, his origins, and some other information that could put together a puzzle of the cause of the grudge that the man held. Apart from hoping for Rose and Damian, he will keep trying to get close to Isabella. Although it had a higher risk than just waiting for information from those two people, he would still do it because he could not stand idly by while his life was threatened. "So, Erick, is there anything you want to tell me?" Charles looked at Erick, who was already sitting on the bed quietly. Erick's body condition seemed to have improved compared to when

"How was it? Did you manage to get close to Charles?" Dominic asked. His face did not look directly at the interlocutor because he was staring at the street scene in front of his company through the window from the 20th floor. Even without looking directly, Dominic could feel the nervousness and worry felt by the other person. "Are you deaf?" Dominic repeated his question. "I'm sorry, Babe. So far, I have not been able to get close to Charles because he keeps his distance from me. He does not even hesitate to use harsh words." Isabella explained in detail what she had done and what kind of response she had received. "Do you think such old-fashioned ways work to attract someone's attention? Especially an ex-girlfriend who has experienced betrayal." Dominic turned around. His expression was stiff. There wasn't the slightest hint of a smile on his face as he used to do daily to cover up his cruel nature. "I don't know what to do. Based on my experience when dating Charles, he is a ma

"Dad," Isabella called out to her father, who was busy checking something on his laptop. "Yes? What's wrong, My love?" Jonah stopped what he was doing and gave his full attention to his daughter. "There's one thing I still don't understand about the plan Dad has drawn up." "Tell me what's bothering you, My Love. Dad will explain everything to you." Jonah got up, walked over to his daughter, then sat down and regretted the remaining tea that Isabella had not had time to finish. "Dad, can't your habit of eating leftovers from me change? I don't like seeing it." Isabella pursed her lips, her eyes narrowed, which showed that she disliked Jonah's habit, which she found very disgusting. "Hahaha. You don't need to give me such a disgusted look. I love doing this because every time I drink or eat a little of your food and drink, I feel like your mother is near me." Isabella's eyes suddenly glazed over after hearing the explanation from her father. Today is not the first time she has hea

Many things happened, making Charles' brain feel like it was about to explode. He, who used to live now, has to think of many tricks to make Duke's company more advanced. Not yet revealed the reason for Dominic approaching him, now he must be faced with the problem of Daniel trying to do something to him to help his brother Andrew. Although his best friend is honest, it does not rule out the possibility that Daniel will still carry out the plan for his sister's safety. "I think I should meet Andrew first. He must not interfere with my best friend for the sake of his ambition to find the reason behind Deon's death. If he manages to find evidence about his son's death, then Damian's position will become insecure and the plan to destroy Dominic will not go smoothly. If Damian is not seen in the CCTV footage, then I will definitely give him the footage without even asking." Charles made up his mind. For Daniel's problem, he could ask his best friend to be patient first. He would help D

Charles was still waiting in his office until 9 pm. He deliberately did not return to the apartment because he was trying to avoid Daniel. He couldn't help it if Daniel found out he had nothing to do and was staying at the apartment. Daniel would think he had so much work that he couldn't have fun together tonight if he were at the office. "Why isn't Rose here yet? Did she have any trouble getting here? She said she'd be here by noon, but it's already 9pm and she hasn't come yet, and she hasn't even given me any news." Charles was talking to himself. He walked back and forth in front of his desk. Until now, he had not replied to Daniel's message because he did not want to make the wrong decision. He wanted to wait for Rose before deciding whether he should meet with Daniel. However, what he was experiencing was not what he had imagined. Daniel had been calling him since this afternoon, which bothered him greatly. Half an hour passed, and there was still no news about Rose. His c

Daniel looked at the unconscious Charles and the document he was holding. His eyes implied immense regret. "I'm sorry, Charles. I have to do this because my sister is in danger. Jonah will not let my sister go if I fail again. I think, when you wake up, you will be very disappointed to have a friend like me. I'm sorry. I hope you'll find a better friend than me in the future." With tears in his eyes, as he mourned the friendship that would be destroyed, Daniel began to organize the documents that had received Charles' fingerprints. It was the only thing he could do because getting a signature directly from his best friend was impossible. If he forced himself to do that, Charles would be suspicious and return to ask questions and learn about what happened. Daniel prepared to leave after everything was done, including correcting Charles' position, who was drooping on the sofa. He walked towards the apartment door with quick steps and had to meet Jonah as soon as possible so his sister

Charles woke up from his stupor. He looked around and was grateful to see that he was still in the apartment. He exited the sofa and walked to his room to clean himself up. While in the room and preparing to shower, Charles gasped as he remembered what had happened before he passed out. He remembered that Daniel had done something, and his adrenaline spiked when he saw a bit of ink on his finger. "What did Daniel do?" Charles didn't go into the bathroom. He ran to the sofa, the last place he remembered before he passed out. Upon arrival, Charles was surprised to see Rose tidying up his living room, including throwing away the pizza and soft drinks Daniel had brought in last night. "Rose? Are you here? Why didn't you come to see me yesterday? Daniel! You were right about him. He did something to me yesterday, Rose!" Charles explained excitedly. "I know, Mr. Charles." Charles' eyes rounded. "You know? How?" He answered in a low voice but still audible to Rose. "When I got the evi

Damian came to Dominic's house on the weekend. He wanted to provide information on Isabella's recent change of attitude. "Mr. Dominic, this file contains information about the activities carried out by Isabella in recent days. It also contains some of the most probable reasons for your beloved's change of attitude." Damian placed the document in his hand on the table."I don't have time to read the document, Damian. Just tell me what it says." Dominic replied. His gaze was still focused on the laptop screen displaying the stock profits of Browzka's company. "Yes, Sir." Damian took the document back and read it. "Based on my research, in recent days Isabella has been going to a house owned by a 45-year-old man. The man's identity is a closely guarded secret, but I was able to take a photo of the man and upon investigation, his name is Jonah Duke." Dominic stopped what he was doing. "Jonah Duke? Is he related to Charles?" Damian nodded. "Yes, Sir. Jonah Duke is the younger brother o
