The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 91
As the weeks passed quickly, the trial of Jonah's case came to a close, with the second son of Michael Duke being sentenced for his crimes.None of the Duke's family members were present in the audience except for Michael, Charles, and Isabella. In addition, none of the people who used to support Jonah now avoided the man's crimes, including his wife, Xaviera."Why didn't that woman come here to support my father? That bitch! I'm sure she wants my father's money!" Isabella grumbled. She hated the situation where no one was willing to defend her father, including Xaviera, who had taken Jonah from her mother."That woman should be here! Isn't she my father's wife? She didn't even give a single favor or attempt to free my father. Is this the role of a wife? Tsk, she doesn't even deserve to be labeled as someone's wife! What a bitch!" Isabella cursed at Xaviera, who was now nowhere to be found."Never mind. Let your mom not come, rather than her making a scene and making your father's pun
The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 92
Elizabeth left Charles alone. She went back to acting like a crazy person by stroking the hair of her favorite doll. Charles was confused by what was going on. He seemed hypnotized and showed a different personality from Dominic's mother."What's going on? Has Dominic's mother recovered from her depression long ago?" Charles spoke to himself.Not wanting to waste more time, Charles immediately got up from his seat and went to see the doctor who was treating Elizabeth, replacing Doctor Jerry.After asking the administration about the location of the doctor's room, Charles was directed to go up to the third floor and walk straight until he found a door that read Doctor William.Charles knocked three times, then opened the door after being told to enter. Not enough surprise was felt by him after seeing Elizabeth's changing personality. Now Charles was again surprised by the figure of the doctor who was currently in charge of treating Dominic's mother."Will? Why are you here? And why are

Ken recalled the opinion Xaviera had given him yesterday. He was alone in his apartment, thinking about whether or not he should contact and rejoin the mafia group he used to lead."Do I have to meet and join them again? Will they still accept me after I pretended to be dead and disappeared from their radar?"Ken recalled his past once again. Back then, he led a rather large mafia organization in Washington. There, he used his power and money to incite Elizabeth's husband to take revenge for the rape of his wife.Yes, from the beginning, the destruction that occurred in the Duke family resulted from a plan that Ken had devised. He deliberately did so because he hated Michael for taking over the entire Duke family fortune, and he didn't get the slightest share. In addition, he wanted to avenge the death of his mother, whom Michael's father dumped. Although his mother made the mistake, Ken closed his eyes and did not accept the fact. He prefers to blame others rather than his mother.Af

One month on, Charles' life was going smoothly and safely. Nothing significant had happened. Even Ken and Xaviera seemed to be living casually. There was no suspicious interaction between the two of them, except for meeting a few times, according to the report given by Rose.Charles became uneasy seeing the atmosphere that was too safe, comfortable, and calm. His heart seemed to have a bad feeling that something important would always happen. So far, the suspicion he felt had never been wrong, but this time, he was confused about what would happen later because all his enemies did not seem to be doing anything that could cause him harm."How is it, Will? Have you found the loophole created by Elizabeth? Is that woman crazy or not?" Charles sat before Will, who was typing something on his laptop."She is a brilliant woman, Sir. For some reason, she used the excuse of the child she gave birth to to recover. That woman created a drama that she remembered everything since the last time Do
The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 95
Ken recalled meeting with his adoptive father one month ago, where he was accepted back to join the organization and become the next leader because it turned out that Sebastian had no children other than Ken, who met him 25 years ago."Mikey? Is that you, my son?" Sebastian opened his arms wide and hugged Ken, whom he hadn't seen in a long time."How can you still be alive? Weren't you killed 25 years ago fighting our enemies?" Sebastian asked his son to sit beside him."Back then, Dad, I was seriously injured and couldn't return to this house. All those years, I lived alone and started to organize my own life until I forgot to come back. I'm sorry, Daddy. I'm sorry I didn't meet you back as soon as possible. I was too wrapped up in life outside the organization." Ken bowed, even kneeling in apology. He knew that his foster father was ruthless and would never tolerate a betrayal, so he went to great lengths to make himself look innocent.Ken's real purpose in leaving the organization
The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 96
Will asked Xaviera to sit down first. He didn't want to make rash moves that would make a mess."What is your purpose in seeing me, Mrs. Xaviera?" Will asked again, even though he knew the purpose of Xaviera's visit to his office."Is it true that you are the doctor who treated Elizabeth? A patient with mental illness for 25 years was admitted to this hospital approximately one month ago." Xaviera explained."Oh, Mrs. Elizabeth? Right." Will answered briefly. He had to guard his words so that Xaviera would not suspect that he knew the original purpose of her coming to the hospital.Luckily, since they had never met, Xaviera did not recognize Will. She had only ever met Rose, who was always beside Charles wherever he went."I want to meet her." Xaviera conveyed her purpose without a preamble. She wanted to ensure that Elizabeth in the hospital was the same woman she was referring to."I apologize in advance, Madam, but do you wish to see her on what grounds? Since Lady Elizabeth is und

"What do you mean, Charles? Who are you accusing of having an affair? And... who is this man? I don't even know him!" Xaviera stood up and pointed angrily at her nephew's face.Xaviera's heart was beating fast right now for fear that the scandal of her affair with Ken would be exposed. Therefore, she covered it with an angry expression so Charles would feel guilty and stop cornering her like this."Heh, don't be evasive, Auntie. I already know everything, you don't need to do any more acting. You've even been in a special relationship with Grandpa's brother longer than your marriage to Uncle Jonah, right?"Hearing the facts from Charles' lips, Xaviera was naturally surprised. She couldn't believe that her nephew knew so much about her relationship with Ken, even the length of the special relationship."I'm not evasive. And who did you say you were? Your grandfather's brother? Your grandfather didn't have a sibling, Charles! You shouldn't feel like you know best because you've only bee
The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 98
Xaviera ran out of Will's room to the hospital parking lot. She even forgot and did not have time to suspect Will, who told her about the news of her affair that had circulated on social media and would undoubtedly be aired on several television stations."How could this happen? Why would Charles do something like this? I can't just let him win. I must immediately stop the news that is already circulating. I don't want to be ruined! No!" Xaviera exhaled roughly, not caring that her legs were starting to ache as she ran from the second floor to the ground floor.Although the distance traveled was not too far, the pressure felt by Xaviera was enough to make her feel excessively tired.Arriving at the parking lot, Xaviera immediately got into her car. She didn't leave right away but called Charles first."Where is that kid? Why isn't he picking up my calls?!" Xaviera cursed at Charles. If her nephew were in front of her right now, she would have cursed him out and even hit him because sh

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

"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
