The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 83
Will has been watching Jonah for the past few days. During these few days of watching the man, he has yet to get any information, and Jonah has just stayed at his house, not going anywhere except to the company to take care of the company that is about to go bankrupt."Why hasn't he done anything for the past few days? Wasn't he involved at all with the thickening at the villa yesterday?" Will watched Jonah with his small binoculars."I feel like I'm wasting my time by being here. I went to New York to see him work. Huh!" Will exhales harshly.Jonah is currently in New York, at the company's branch that Charles once headed. So, Jonah and Isabella are in different cities.Isabella is still in Washington, living in one of the houses provided by Jonah."I'm bored," Wi complained. This was the first time he had done so many tasks outside of his usual job desk. Usually, he only served behind the scenes as an information seeker with his extraordinary hacking skills.However, he had to go di

Dominic pounded on the table in front of him. He was both shocked and angry when he heard who his mother's brother was. His brain began to summarize all the information he got, from Jonah as the perpetrator of the rape, his mother, to Xaviera, his sister's mother. "No, no way. It's too impossible that my mom has a sister who is the wife of that rapist! I don't believe it at all." Dominic shook his head, and he still couldn't accept the fact."You can't deny that fact, Dominic. I didn't say that your mother was related to Aunt Xaviera. She said it herself. I couldn't have fabricated it and asked her to lie, could I?"Charles looked at Dominic, who was looking very frustrated. "And just so you know, the man Xaviera's aunt was talking to in the recording was a nurse who worked at the hospital where your mother was treated all this time."Hearing that, Dominic immediately panicked. Judging from the conversation between the two, he was sure the two people would not hesitate to kill his mo

Will sent a message to Charles containing a photo of Jonah meeting with a mysterious man. In addition to the image, he also sent a further statement explaining from the beginning of the survey until he finally got the photo.Charles, who received the photo's message, was surprised to see the figure in the image. "Ken? What does he have to do with Jonah? Ah, I remember. Didn't Aunt Xaviera once say that Ken was behind Uncle's evil nature all this time? But how could he make someone evil? Isn't Ken not considered a member of the Duke family anymore?" Charles thought for a moment."It looks like I'll have to ask Grandpa to explain everything. If I ask Will or Rose to investigate everything, I'll have to wait again and waste even more time. I have to find out soon so there are no more casualties. Right now, the one in danger is Dominic's mother. Even though that man has killed many people, his parents have nothing to do with it."Finally, Charles decided to revisit his grandfather. This t
The Hidden Duke Heir Chap 86
Charles walked steadily towards the elevator that took him to his apartment unit on the tenth floor. Charles was daydreaming a little. He recalled his conversation with his grandfather, Michael, about Elizabeth, Dominic's mother.Honestly, the fact that Jonah had impregnated Elizabeth shocked him. He felt even more antipathy towards his uncle. In Charles' mind, he felt a rapist didn't deserve to live, especially after they ruined the life of a woman who knew nothing."Poor Aunt Elizabeth. I hope she's not deeply traumatized by her past," Charles said to himself as the elevator doors opened.Charles now walked towards his apartment. As soon as he arrived, he sat down and thought once more.Although Charles had information about Dominic's mother, he still needed to be entirely sure about the truth of the data. Yes, Charles was a man full of logic. He was not a rash person. Anyone could lie to him, even his grandfather.Well, not that he accused his grandfather of lying. Charles was tak

Charles chuckled. He tried to catch up with Dominic. Unfortunately, his car could not keep up with Dominic's car, which looked like a racing car. Moreover, because of bad luck, Charles' car tire punctured in the middle of the road. Right in the middle of the forest again."Ah, shit!" Charles got out of his car and then kicked his flat tire. Surrounding him were only trees, with slightly dim lights on the right and left of the road.Charles had to pass through this street to get to Dominic's favorite restaurant. There were some evil people spreading mines here. Charles was unlucky, so one of his car tires was hit and leaked like this."I wonder why it wasn't Dominic's car that got nailed, and it was mine. Could it be that someone is doing this on purpose? If the car can't run, anyone can be robbed, right? Watch out if you dare to rob me. I'll kill them."Charles growled with a ferocious face. He kicked the tires of the car once more. After his anger was vented, Charles tried to think c

Charles froze as he saw the scene beside him. Dominic fell to the floor with a loud noise. His body was covered in blood from the area of his back that was shot.The shot seemed to have hit Dominic's vital spot, as the man immediately lost consciousness after being shot."U-uncle! What are you doing?!" Charles shouted at his uncle and looked at Jonah, who looked back at him with a depressed look.Jonah did that because he was too emotional. He shot Dominic because he felt threatened. This can be seen from the man's shaking hands. Even the gun he was holding immediately fell to the floor when he saw Dominic not moving anymore, along with Isabella's cries that began to break out beside him."Dad! What did you do? Why did you shoot Dominic?" Isabella released her grip on Jonah's arm and covered her mouth with both hands to cover the sound of her crying that began to harden.No one moved among the four of them, and they were still in shock from what had just happened.They were transfixed

Dominic's burial went quickly. Not many people came, as the man had no family left. The only one left was his mother, who couldn't go because she was being treated intensively for her recovery.Charles, who was in the first row, rubbed his eyes and felt wet. "Take it easy there, Dominic. I will solve everything."After all the processes were completed, including the giving of flowers and prayers, Charles left quickly from there.He wasn't heartless, but he didn't want to break his spirit and mentality by mourning someone's death any longer. Charles was silent in his car. He tried to calm his emotions."Where are we going, sir?" Rose asked.Charles looked at his bodyguard, who was already working as usual. Because of Dominic's death, he no longer cared about the reporters who kept filling the lobby of his apartment building."I want to go to the apartment."Rose's brow furrowed. "Are you sure? What if those reporters were still in front of the apartment lobby? They would have swarmed u

Charles came to the Duke's mansion in the same outfit he wore to Dominic's funeral, a black suit.From inside the car that had just been parked, Charles saw his grandfather, who was waiting for him. His grandfather was waiting right in front of the main door, and beside him stood Isabella with a messy appearance because she didn't have time to clean up after the police arrested her father."Good afternoon, Grandpa." Charles got out of the car, then walked over and greeted his grandfather, who was looking at him with an expression that was hard to interpret."Come in quickly. There's something I need to ask you. Something very, very important." Michael turned around and went inside, followed by Isabella, Charles, and Rose, who had also come to see their boss.Once in the living room, Michael asked his servants to leave, leaving them all in the room after serving them drinks and snacks."Is it true that your uncle killed Dominic?" Michael asked his grandson to the point.Charles nodded.
