The Hidden Heir

Become a New Figure

“I’m sorry, Mr. Steave—”

“Just call me Nick. You don’t have to be hesitant to me, Jane.”

Jenifer was silent. Jane? Only Alexander called her that. Usually people will call her Jenny. Jenifer looked at the figure of Nicholas Steave who was sitting opposite her, apart from a large round table on which the table pivoted. For some reason, Jenifer felt quite familiar with the figure of Nicholas Steave even though today was the first time the two of them have known each other.

“Thanks for the new glasses.”

“Even you can see clearly with surgery. I will make an appointment with the best eye doctor in the country, so that you can have surgery immediately.”

“But—”

“Do you want to be played with by your friends like earlier? Just because you wear glasses, and just because you are poor, you are looked down upon by them.”

Jenifer lowered her face deeply. Not long after, the waiter at the very expensive restaurant the two were visiting at arrived, serving some of the most expensive and delicious food menus ever. Even Jenifer was speechless.

And it wasn’t just Jenifer who was speechless, Alexander was no difference. Even though he was in Nicholas’ body, he still didn’t have time to see how the most expensive restaurant menu was served before his eyes. This was like a dream come true.

“You have to finish all this food. Isn’t this very pleasant, when we can spend on the expensive food in this country?”

Jenifer looked back at the figure of Nicholas Steave, she remembered her dreams with Alexander. When the two fantasized about having a lot of money, they would go to this restaurant, the most expensive restaurant in the country, then they would order so much expensive food and eat it greedily.

“Excuse me, are you sure you can pay the bill, young man? What you ordered really doesn’t make sense.”

The restaurant’s head waiter, who happened to see Alexander and Jenifer’s table full of expensive food, immediately came over and reprimanded them. He then glared at the waiter who had been serving the young man and girl.

According to the restaurant manager, it would be impossible for a young man to have enough money to order all the most expensive food in this restaurant.

“You are crazy!” The restaurant manager snapped at the waiter who was still standing there. “They are still teenagers and don’t have permanent jobs. Are you sure that they will be able to pay all these bills?”

“I’m sorry, sir. It’s just that this gentleman told me there’s no need to worry about the bill, he has plenty of money for that.”

“And you just believe a young man’s boasts?”

The waiter lowered his face deeply again, he was terrified.

“Get out of here, you’re fired!”

“But, sir—”

“Can you stop scolding your servant when you think it’s me who is at fault for all this, sir?” Alexander finally spoke.

Jenifer, who felt very embarrassed because so many people saw the commotion, chose to step aside.

Indeed, the place Alexander ordered was VVIP. But, the restaurant manager said everything quite loudly. So that several visitors turned their heads or even didn’t hesitate to look directly at this.

“What did you come here on?” asked the restaurant manager.

“We came by bus, sir.”

“Where’s your car?”

“My car is broken.” Alexander answered.

The manager grinned again, then he rubbed his face roughly.

“A worn out car that even has to be pushed when running it. It would definitely be very perishable, and how could someone like you order this much food from the most expensive menus here. Are you crazy? I can report you to the police.”

“For what?” Alexander asked casually.

“Fraud.”

“You can’t do that to me, I told your servant I could pay for it. Why don’t you believe it too, sir? What’s the reason you don’t believe me? Is it just because I didn’t come with a car?”

“You are stupid, you are still young, it would be impossible for you to have the money to pay this food bill!”

“Tsk! I think everything you say makes no sense, sir.”

“Look at your clothes, and the clothes of the girl you brought. It’s really shabby and maybe the clothes you are wearing and all the things are fake. You like fake goods to be seen as the son of a rich man, huh?”

Alexander felt increasingly annoyed by the taunts made by the restaurant manager. He had no idea that even now the insult was still there.

“Nick—”

“Eat, I will take care of this heartless old man. What right does he have to say something so hurtful to the ears? I even felt like slapping him in the face.”

Alexander stood up, he spread his gaze at the people who were now looking at him with mockery and contempt.

Then Alexander realized that Nicholas Steave had been in a coma for a long time. No wonder everyone didn’t recognize his face.

“In fact, the watch I’m wearing could buy your entire blood line, sir.”

“Tch! Bast*rd!”

“Sir, if you really have money. Please pay the bill in advance, ok? By doing that, you will save my life, and stop the manager of this restaurant from interfering you enjoying the delicious food. Moreover, so that you will no longer be seen by many people like this. Because I’m sure you will feel very embarrassed by all this sight, right?”

“Okay.”

Alexander took his black card. Everyone there, including the restaurant manager, screamed in surprise at this.

The manager even took Alexander’s black card, because he was afraid that the black card was fake.

“Do you think my card is fake, sir? I’m sure there are only a few owners of black cards in this world, because the money limit on them is unlimited. However, I think only a fool would fake that card just to be able to eat here, because of course that card can’t carry out payment transactions, right?”  aid Alexander.

The restaurant manager could only remain silent when Nicholas Steave’s name was engraved in gold ink there. Even the very rare black cards were printed exclusively.

“I’ll pay my bill and everyone’s bill here. If possible, immediately contact the owner of this restaurant, ask him how much he wants to sell this restaurant. I will buy it not at the price of profit and loss, I will buy it according to the price he will offer me without me bidding.”

The restaurant manager swallowed hard, then he bowed his back perfectly.

“Forgive me for my impudence, sir. I had no idea that you were the highly touted Mr. Nicholas Steave.”

“Your sorry is too late, my decision to buy this restaurant was final.”
