The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 60
Michael did not refuse or accept Charles' request. He stood up from his seat and left his grandson there alone. From the expression on his grandfather's face, Charles knew that his grandfather's words when asking him to do anything to stop Jonah, his uncle, were lies. His grandfather still couldn't let his only living son give up the Duke family name even though Jonah had tried to kill him, and his uncle had done it all in front of his grandfather's eyes. "If Grandpa knew that Uncle Jonah was directly related to father's death, would Grandpa still defend him?" Charles muttered sadly. He left the Duke family mansion, heading for the company center that was already his. Yes, Charles was no longer in charge of the branch company in New York. Now, he was officially leading the central company in Washington. In Washington, he tried to clear his mind. All the events that happened, every fact that began to unfold, to the deaths of people who had had problems with him. Charles was living

Dominic tapped his finger on his phone screen. He devised a new plan to kill Charles and destroy the Duke family. So far, none of his plans had worked because Charles always managed to thwart all the plans he had devised. "Do I have to kill him directly? So far I've only used indirect killing methods by using poison, but Charles managed to remove the poison before his body condition worsened. Moreover, when Jonah tried to poison his nephew, he got caught and that made Charles even more wary." While busy thinking of things he might be able to do to destroy Charles, Dominic is surprised by a report from his secretary saying that Jonah wants a meeting and is already outside his room. Forced to, Dominic let him in, even though he didn't want to meet Jonah after the man's failure. "What's wrong?" Dominic asked to the point. Jonah's brow furrowed in surprise because Dominic was still treating him well the last time they met, not as terse as he was now. "There's something I need to tell

Jonah visited Isabella in the hospital. He was very happy because his daughter's condition had improved from before. His daughter was even able to move as usual, even though she had to be helped by others when doing quite difficult activities. "Hi, my love, how are you today?" Jonah kissed his daughter's forehead. "I'm good, Dad. How about you? Did you do well with your plan? And what about the results?" Isabella greeted the questions from her father in a cheerful tone. She was comforted by her father's arrival, as she was tired of being in the hospital alone. No one was to accompany her because she had no close friends, let alone a lover. She had broken up with Dominic. As for family, she only had her father, as her mother had died long ago. Jonah let out his breath because he was frustrated with his condition. "No, Love. All the plans I've put together and planned for a long time didn't go smoothly. Charles acted faster than me, he spread the information that I had been hiding ab

Charles came to his company in a hurry. He walked straight into the meeting room. Suddenly, his presence attracted all the attention of the meeting members. They stared at Charles with displeased and condescending eyes. With a sharp intake of breath, Charles said, "What's going on? Why are you holding a meeting without my knowledge? Are you trying to conspire to remove me from office, huh?!" Charles kicked the table violently. The fact that the meeting had happened because of Jonah's incitement made him unable to contain his anger. One of the meeting members who owned a considerable share in the Duke company stood up, and he looked at Charles contemptuously and condescendingly. He replied, "We should be asking you, where were you all day? Shouldn't you always be at the company? You can't leave the company unless you have a meeting with a business partner! Don't mix work with personal matters! Your priority is the company now!" Charles furrowed his brow. "What do you mean? I always

Jonah looked at his daughter as she prepared to leave to meet Dominic. He was forced to do so as Charles' men monitored his movements. Now, he could only monitor and ask Isabella for help from a distance. Luckily, he could feel that someone was watching him, although he didn't know when that person had been watching him.If he hadn't noticed, Charles might have known the next plan he had laid out, and he was sure that his nephew would thwart his efforts again. "Are you able to meet Dominic alone? Dad can't accompany you because I have to carry out another plan."Isabella was giddy. She was unsure of her father's orders. She was frightened as if she could feel the sharp eyes and angry expression on her ex-boyfriend's face again. That expression seemed to be able to swallow her whole until her body shivered instantly."But, I'm afraid Dominic will hurt me again, Dad." Isabella replied in a spoiled tone. Her eyes were teary, and tears would have fallen from her eyes had Jonah not immed

Charles and Rose went to the Browzka Company with a document containing the cooperation file between the Duke Company and Dominic's company. Charles was confident that he could terminate the cooperation without having to pay a penalty, even though he was the one who wanted the collaboration between them to be completed. He tried to focus on his business, he didn't want to play around for too long and end up making his business destroyed, and even the position he was holding was threatened if he suddenly let his guard down. Dominic managed to take the opportunity to destroy it.They both went to the Browzka Company, followed by several bodyguards deliberately in another car to monitor their movements. The bodyguards would stand guard outside the company, observing everything from the hidden camera on one of Charles' shirt buttons. Charles deliberately did not invite the bodyguards to come inside so that his conversation with Dominic would not be known by anyone else, apart from Rose,

"I am still curious about one thing, Mr. Charles. Did you release Mr. Dominic and ask him to go away instead of reporting him to Mr. Michael, just out of pity for his mother who is in the asylum?" Charles shook his head. "Do you think I'm that stupid, Rose? I do feel sorry for his mother, but I have another reason why I asked Dominic to stay away and not bother me anymore." "What is it, Sir? Am I allowed to know?" Rose asked in a curious tone. A moment later, she shot an apologetic look for being presumptuous by questioning every decision made by her boss. "I've gotten information about the relationship between Jonah, Dominic and the mafia that killed my father. Based on the conclusion of my observation of that information, I believe Dominic wants revenge just because his father died at the hands of my grandfather. He had no direct dealings with me, just as I had a grudge because his father had killed my father. But, there are other important things I need to accomplish instead of

"What do you mean?" Charles pounded the table with both hands. The noise was loud enough to make Rose, who was outside, flinch. She had attached a chip that could listen to Charles' conversations with others to the back collar of her boss' shirt. She deliberately did it without telling her boss first to minimize the risk when meeting with Dominic earlier. "Are you trying to incite me, Aunt Xaviera? Are you so hurt by Uncle Jonah's betrayal that you're trying to pit us against each other?" Xaviera chuckled. She clapped her hands a few times as if to show that the sentence just said by Charles was a hilarious joke. "Why are you so funny, Charles? I don't think you're an idiot who can't tell the difference between inciting and telling the truth, are you? After all, even without me instigating you, you and Jonah have been enemies since the beginning." Charles' eyes twitched. The facts he had just heard had a huge impact on his feelings. His heart ached, especially at the thought of his
