The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 94
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

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

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

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

Xaviera was even more surprised by the statement from Charles' lips. She was even more helpless because it turned out that her nephew knew about Elizabeth."Let's finish it outside." Xaviera nudged Charles' shoulder, and she just left without saying goodbye to her father-in-law.Michael, who saw Xaviera's expression, was curious and wanted to ask questions, but he held back because he knew Charles would tell him later."Delete the news that you have spread about me! I don't care. No matter how hard it is, you must still delete all the news circulating on television and social media. Only a single one should be included! Do you understand?!"Charles smiled, then asked his aunt to sit down first. Currently, they were sitting in the garden beside the mansion. "Sit down first, Auntie. Don't get too emotional like that.""Don't play games with me, Charles! I could sue you and report you to the police because you've dared to spread false news about me. Right now, I still see you as my nephe

Xaviera stared at her cell phone a few times, waiting for the person who had just called her to call back because she had tried to contact that person but couldn't."Why isn't she calling me back? Is she just trying to make me panic?" Xaviera continued to stare at her cell phone. A few minutes later, when none of the calls came in, she decided to see her boyfriend. She felt that he should know about this."I have to meet with Ken right now. Our position will be jeopardized if my twin sister tells everything to my father-in-law, especially if Elizabeth says we are twins. I don't want anyone to know about it."Xaviera prepared to leave, but before that, she called Ken first."I want to go to your apartment. I have something important to tell you." Xaviera said."What news do you have to tell me? Can't you say it now? Our position is not safe right now. The reporters have already started looking for my identity, and they even chased me earlier to get the latest information on our scandal
The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 101
Ken returned to his adoptive father's house, and he wanted to ask Sebastian for reassurance when the plan to destroy the Duke family began.Arriving there, Ken crossed paths with a man he knew very well, but they had only met briefly."Ethan? You came to see Dad, too?" Ken asked.Ethan, who heard Ken's question, immediately gave the man the code to be quiet. "Don't speak too loudly," he whispered.Ken nodded. He invited Ethan to chat for a while, only for the man to refuse. "Alright. Let's talk another time when you're not busy.""Yes. Hurry up and meet Mr. Sebastian. He's been waiting for you since before."Ken smiled slightly as he watched Ethan walk away from him. He relaxed his tense posture, as he seemed to be able to guess what would happen next just by watching the man's departure after meeting his father."Dad," Ken called out to Sebastian, who seemed lost in thought."Ken? Are you here yet?" Sebastian asked, which was immediately answered with a nod."I'm sorry for coming lat
