The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 97
"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

Will began to perform his duties well. He couldn't evade or refuse the task that Charles had given him because his boss had been watching him since before.Two hours he was passed, with no results obtained by Will. Although he failed, he was happy that his identity was not revealed."I'm sorry, boss. I couldn't get any information about your brother. It's possible that Lady Elizabeth lied to you to trick you into not bothering her anymore." Will said. He wanted to give a new opinion to make Charles forget that he had an older brother."There's no way Elizabeth deceived me. What would she do that for?" Charles expressed his curiosity."It's possible. We still need to find out whose side Lady Elizabeth is on. She could be favoring Ken, Xaviera, or whoever else we don't know. She didn't confirm that she was on our side, right?"Charles nodded. "You're right. I should have investigated Elizabeth's personality first before meeting her. We had never met before, and suddenly, she told me I h

Elizabeth adjusted the mask she wore, remembering the hat she wore so that no one could recognize her out there.Elizabeth peeked behind the curtains with slow steps, ensuring no one was watching her."Looks like it's safe," Elizabeth muttered.She checked the neighborhood once more, then exited her house after the taxi she had ordered had arrived."To Cambodia Street, sir. Black Swan Cafe." Elizabeth mentioned her destination, to which the taxi driver nodded.The taxi started moving from slow to medium speed. There was no need to wait long. About 30 minutes into the trip, Elizabeth sat in one of the cafe chairs."Why is he taking so long? Did he make me wait on purpose?" Elizabeth snorted in annoyance. She glanced at the watch she was wearing, it was already 15 minutes past the promised time, but the person she was waiting for had yet to show up."CK, five more minutes, that man doesn't come. I'd better go." Elizabeth cursed the man who deliberately made her wait.One of the things E

Rose observed Elizabeth's every move, from her anger at a man who looked like a bodyguard to her departure to the VIP room to her exit an hour later."Who exactly did Elizabeth want to meet? She looks very suspicious." Rose muttered. She was still watching from a distance, and she sharpened her vision even more when she saw Elizabeth walking out of the cafe and getting back into the taxi.Rose, who saw that, immediately followed the taxi carrying Elizabeth. "Is she not going anywhere after this?" she said after seeing the cab heading towards the woman's house.After Elizabeth returned to her house, Rose stayed nearby. She didn't want to lose any information, especially after she saw with her own eyes when she met someone who must have power because there was no way the person Elizabeth met was just ordinary. Rose could conclude this by seeing the bodyguard who had led Elizabeth into the VIP room.For a long time, Rose was there. She kept watching the house, which had not seen any acti

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
