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

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

"Xaviera? Don't lie, or I'll double your punishment!" Michael pushed the guard with his cane, and the man collapsed as he could no longer bear the weight of his badly injured body."I-I'm not lying, Sir. It was Mis-mistress Xaviera who ordered me to lie to Mr. Charles. She asked me to tell Lord Charles you are living here again." The guard was now sobbing and feared that his son would see him punished right before his eyes. He was afraid that his son would be depressed and his pain would become worse from seeing him like this."Is it true that Xaviera set you up, Charl?" Michael asked his grandson."From the CCTV footage I got, the men who hit me mentioned another name, not Aunt Xaviera," Charles replied. He looked at the guard with a sharp look in his eyes."Answer the truth! Don't lie! I already know who sent you, and now I need a confession! You can't lie to me!" Charles tried to intimidate the guard, but the man remained adamant that it was Xaviera, not anyone else."I'm not lying

Dominic lay on his bed. He stared at the papers he had gotten from Jerry. Now that he felt confident in their authenticity, he wasn't sure about opening the papers."For twenty-five years, my mother has been depressed and can't recognize anyone. I've never even seen her healthy because I could only see her from afar since I was a child. After all, she was always locked up. Doctor Jerry said that this paper contains my mother's notes, but can the contents be trusted?"Dominic flipped through the hard copy before reading it. He looked at each side of the paper that had turned yellowish with age. "I'd rather read it than be curious about its contents."Dominic changed his position to sitting and picked up a table lamp to help him read the paper's contents. "Alright. Let's begin."After arranging the slightly messy papers from their covers, Dominic began to read each sentence.In the first paper, no important piece of information was written. There was only an outpouring of a woman who wa

Charles entered his apartment and turned on the television as Rose had instructed. He was curious about the worried tone audible in the bodyguard's tone.With quick movements, Charles took the television remote and pressed the on button. He changed the channel from sports to another channel that usually covered news about famous businessmen and businesswomen.Having just changed the channel, Charles was already surprised by the news delivered by the reporter. There, printed his face and a woman he knew very well."Unexpected! The only child of the Duke's family, the long-lost family leader who has now returned to reclaim his rights, has a special relationship with his bodyguard!"That was the headline of the news Charles saw. He was very surprised, especially when he saw some photos attached that were quite intimate, like hugging each other, even though he had never been that close to Rose."What the hell is this?! How can they spread fake news like this?!" Charles gritted his teeth i
