The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 66
"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

"Are you trying to destroy me, Charles?" Jonah looked at his nephew with piercing eyes. His heart was beating fast. He couldn't keep quiet; Dominic couldn't know that he was the one who had leaked the man's secret to his nephew. If Dominic knew everything, then it was sure that he would lose because he was attacked by two men who had the same amount of power. "Do you feel threatened by my existence that you are trying to destroy and even kill me? I am your uncle, and I sent that message to you so that you can be careful and wary of Dominic, especially since Duke's company also cooperates with Browzka's company. If you let your guard down just a little, Dominic will destroy you immediately. I did all that for your good." Jonah twisted the facts, he wanted to erase all the stains on his hands by making other people the perpetrators of all the cheating he did, and now the one he made into a shield was Dominic. "Pfft!" Charles chuckled. He didn't expect his uncle to be so good at acting
The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 69
One year later, Charles was going about his day in peace as all his enemies had retreated and stopped looking for trouble with him.Charles' life was monotonous, as all he did was work, study, and return to his apartment. He did nothing else in the past year, as his relationships with the people around him were not very well developed either."Mr. Charles, Mr. Michael asked you to come to the Duke family's main mansion," Rose told her boss. She had just received a message from Michael's right-hand man containing the grandfather's wish to see his grandson after not seeing him for a year.Charles and Michael's relationship turned cold after their last meeting at the Duke's mansion. Charles chose to distance himself and limit communication between him and his grandfather. In addition to showing his seriousness about his words, he also needed time to get rid of the disappointment after learning that his grandfather was hiding a big secret related to his father's death."How is it? Are you

Charles sharpened his gaze even more. He did not like what his grandfather had just said. Although he was very disappointed in Michael, he did not like it when his grandfather talked about inheritance, as if his grandfather would go far away and never return. Moreover, he knew his uncle must be pleased after hearing that information."What does Grandpa want exactly? Do you want to die so quickly that you're dividing the inheritance now?" Charles asked his grandfather another question."So what if I want to divide my inheritance now? I don't want you to fight after I die, so I'll die now. If I have everything ready, I can retire and enjoy my days in my villa without thinking about anything else." Michael exhaled tiredly, his eyes distant as if he knew there would be more arguments and fights after this."Whatever! I don't care!" Charles got up from his seat and walked towards the door to leave the room, followed by Rose, faithfully following behind him."Aren't you going to listen to w
The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 71
Charles and Rose ran straight into Michael's private villa. At the moment, all they could think about was how the former leader of the Duke family had reportedly moved in and settled down."Grandpa! Grandpa!" Charles shouted. He entered the villa without discussing it with his bodyguard.Rose, who saw that, immediately followed her boss to go inside. She couldn't let her boss walk in without any protection, especially since there was liquid suspected to be human blood on the floor in front of the door, which made her conclude that there had been an attack at the villa."Mr. Charles! Wait!" Rose chased after Charles who kept shouting and trying to open one by one the doors connecting the rooms."Wait, sir!" Rose pulled Charles' hand after she was right next to her boss. Regardless of the protesting words from her boss' lips, she tried to pull Charles' body towards the part of the villa that could be used to hide."Why are you pulling me? I'm looking for Grandpa! Get out of my way! What

"Jonah? Who is that?" The men who had wanted to attack Charles now turned their attention to the newly arrived Rose. They wore confused expressions as if they didn't understand what she had just said."Yes, Jonah, he's your boss, right?" Rose asked.The men shook their heads simultaneously. "Ha-ha. Looks like you got the wrong information, Miss. We don't know who Jonah is, and he's not our boss. Stay out of our business if you don't want to get hurt, sweet girl!" The man with the scar on his face gave Rose a sharp look.After saying that, he approached Charles again and prepared to attack him. Luckily, Rose was able to act quickly to block the man. She didn't want her boss to get hurt, she just needed to buy more time, and everything would be done."It turns out you're brave too, sweet girl!" The man with the most muscular body began to attack Rose while the others tried to beat up Charles."Die!" Charles was kicked, but he managed to dodge. With little martial arts knowledge, he trie

Charles opened his car window, then looked directly at the gatekeeper who lied to him to come to the villa that had been prepared to trap him."Why are you silent? Let's open the door!" Charles ordered in a rather high tone.The guard was stunned and immediately nodded his head several times. He immediately approached the gate and opened it for Charles. His expression of fear was printed on his face as if he couldn't believe the person he lied to and trapped could return in good condition. The context of fine here was that no reporters were following him and making a bad image of the man."Work properly if you don't want to get fired from here!" Charles gave a warning, then closed his car window again. He deliberately did not punish or fire the guard directly because he wanted to give a sensation of fear for having dared to commit a crime against his boss.After the car driven by Charles and Rose arrived in front of the mansion, they immediately got off and walked inside. They crossed

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

Isabella moved restlessly in her room. Because it's been a few days since she gave Ethan some money.The man should have given news about the continuation of the plan they had arranged, but the man has not even appeared since receiving money from him.Ethan himself could not be contacted, making Isabella even worse. Apart from being afraid of being cheated, she also doesn't know how to destroy the Duke family because Ethan hasn't explained anything to her.Isabella has no plan at all. 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
Chap 118
"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
