The True Heir You Have A Fever
Roland's eyes slowly opened as the morning light peeked through the curtains. He groaned and shifted in bed, feeling the weight of exhaustion and sickness in his bones. His head throbbed, and his throat felt raw and scratchy. He knew he should get up and start his day, but he couldn't bring himself to move.He laid there for a few more minutes, lost in his thoughts. His father's condition had been deteriorating, and the pressure of running the company was weighing heavily on him. He couldn't afford to be sick, not with his half-brother Alex waiting for any opportunity to take over the business.Roland let out a sigh. "I can't be sick. Not now, not ever," he murmured to himself.As he tried to sit up, he felt a wave of dizziness hit him, and he fell back onto the pillows. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.Suddenly, he heard a soft knock on the door, and then the door creaked open. Seraphina, his maid, walked in, carrying a tray of breakfa
The True Heir Recovery
Butler Lucas walked into Chairman Lafayette's room with a smile on his face. The chairman looked up at him and asked, "Lucas, how is my son doing? Has he recovered from his fever?"Butler Lucas hesitated for a moment before responding. "Your son is doing much better, sir. He's still resting, but his fever has gone down significantly."Chairman Lafayette breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness. I was worried about him. He's been working so hard lately.""Yes, sir. He has," Butler Lucas agreed. "But he's doing it all for the betterment of the company and for you."The chairman nodded in agreement before turning his attention to the doctor who had just entered the room."Doctor, how am I doing? Will I be able to go home soon?" Chairman Lafayette asked.The doctor smiled reassuringly. "Yes, Mr. Lafayette. If you continue to recover at this rate, we should be able to discharge you soon."The chairman smiled gratefully. "Thank you, doctor. And what about the hole in my heart? Is there a
The True Heir Up To Something
Roland woke up with his body trembling, still recovering from the fever that had kept him bedridden for days. He dragged himself out of bed and made his way to the bathroom. After a quick shower, Roland looked at himself in the mirror with a worried face. He didn't look his best, but he had to get to work. He took a deep breath and started to get ready.He dressed in a casual outfit, something comfortable but still work-related - a pair of khaki pants, a light blue shirt, and a navy blazer. As he stepped out of his room, he saw Butler Lucas heading towards his direction.Butler Lucas, shocked to see Roland all set for work when he hadn't properly recovered, said, "Young Master, what are you doing up? You shouldn't push yourself like this. You need to rest."Roland looked at Butler Lucas with a determined glint in his eye, "Butler Lucas, I want to work. I can't stay idle. I need to be doing something."Butler Lucas assured him that the company was in safe hands and that Roland shouldn
The True Heir Fight For The Family Business
Roland took a deep breath and tried to compose himself. He picked up his phone from the floor and tried to regain some sense of control. But his mind raced with possibilities, wondering what Alex was planning to do.As the car pulled up to the Lafayette Mansion, Roland thanked the chauffeur and driver before stepping out. He couldn't get Alex's threatening words out of his head, and he knew he had to be careful.Once he was inside, Roland went straight to his room. He poured himself a glass of water and sat down at his desk. He pulled out his notebook and started to make a list of all the things he needed to do to secure the company's future. He knew he had to be on guard because he couldn't trust Alex.Even when Alex was a big help to their father's condition, he still couldn't trust Alex.As he was deep in thought, Seraphina knocked on the door, "Young Master, dinner is served."Roland looked up, realizing that he had been lost in thought for hours. He stood up, stretched his ar
The True Heir Danger And Chaos On The Way
In the days that followed, Roland made good on his promise to take better care of himself. He took the time he needed to fully recover from his illness, something that had been long overdue.As he slowly regained his strength, Roland spent a lot of time reflecting on the events that had led up to his fight with Alex. He knew that he needed to be better prepared for any future attempts his half-brother might make to take over the family business.With that in mind, Roland began to focus more intently on his work. He set to task, making sure that every aspect of the company was being handled correctly. He met with key stakeholders, reviewed financial records, and ensured that everything was running smoothly.Throughout it all, Lucas continued to be a constant presence, always by his side and ready to lend a helping hand. Roland knew that he could count on Lucas for anything, and he valued the stability and reliability that his butler brought to his life.As the weeks and months pass
The True Heir Tear Them Apart
The car ride to the private hospital was tense, to say the least. Roland sat in the back seat, staring out the window with a scowl on his face. Beside him sat Butler Lucas and across from them sat the chauffeur and the driver.Butler Lucas tried to make small talk, but Roland was in no mood for it. He simply grunted in response and continued to stare out the window.When they arrived at the hospital, Roland angrily stormed out of the car, followed closely by Butler Lucas. The nurses at the front desk tried to greet them, but Roland ignored them and went straight to the ward where his father, Chairman Lafayette, was staying.His father was looking much healthier than the last time Roland had seen him, and he was happy to see his son. However, when he saw the look on Roland's face, he knew something was wrong."What's the matter, son?" he asked, as Roland pulled out an envelope.Roland thrust the envelope at his father, telling him to open it and read what was inside. Butler Lucas
The True Heir Family Dynamics
The ride back to the Lafayette estate was quiet, as both Roland and Butler Lucas were lost in their own thoughts. As they pulled up to the front entrance, Butler Lucas turned to Roland."Young Master, I know this is a difficult time for you," he said. "But we need to be prepared for the legal battle ahead."Roland nodded grimly. "I know," he said. "But it's hard to believe that my own father would do this to me."Butler Lucas nodded sympathetically. "Family dynamics can be complicated," he said. "But we need to focus on the legalities of this situation."As they stepped out of the car, they were greeted by the sound of barking dogs and the sight of the Lafayette family staff running frantically around the property."What's going on?" Roland asked, as he rushed towards the commotion.One of the staff members approached him, panting heavily. "There's been a security breach, sir," he said. "We don't know who's responsible."Roland took a deep breath, his adrenaline pumping. "Get the sec
The True Heir Regain Control Of The Company
The next day, Butler Lucas arrived at the Lafayette estate early in the morning from the private hospital, ready to meet with Roland and discuss their legal strategy. He found Roland sitting in the study, looking tired but determined."Good morning, young master," Butler Lucas said, as he took a seat opposite Roland.Roland nodded. "Good morning," he said. "I've been thinking about how we're going to approach this."Butler Lucas pulled out his legal pad, ready to take notes. "Let's hear it," he said.Roland took a deep breath. "First, I want to contest my father's decision to give the company to Alex. I don't think it's fair, and I don't think he's the right person to lead the company."Butler Lucas nodded. "That's a good starting point," he said. "We can file a legal challenge against your father's decision."Roland leaned forward, his eyes flashing. "And I want to make sure that Alex pays for what he's done," he said. "Stealing confidential documents is a serious offense, and I wan

Seraphina's words lingered in Roland's mind, her plea for him to make peace with Alex echoing in his thoughts. As he sat in his study, contemplating the path forward, he realized that her words held a profound truth. The pursuit of the will had consumed him, clouding his judgment and overshadowing the importance of family.He took a deep breath, his decision crystallizing within him. Seraphina was right. Blood ran deep, and no matter the past, Alex was still his brother. It was time to put aside the bitter rivalry and find a way to coexist, if not as allies, then at least as family.With a renewed sense of purpose, Roland reached for his phone and dialed Alex's number. The line rang for a moment before Alex's voice came through, tinged with a hint of indifference."What do you want, brother?" Alex's tone carried a mix of annoyance and curiosity.Roland took a steadying breath. "Alex, I want to meet with you," he said, his voice firm but calm. "I think it's time we put our differences

Clash Of Destinies
As Roland approached his room, a sense of unease washed over him. The air felt heavy, charged with anticipation. Seraphina's words echoed in his mind, reminding him that there might be more to Alex than met the eye. Could it be possible that Alex's true heritage held the answers to his behavior?With a mix of reluctance and curiosity, Roland entered his room to find Seraphina still waiting there. Her eyes were puffy, hinting at tears she had shed in his absence. She looked up, her gaze filled with concern and compassion."Roland, I'm so sorry for everything," Seraphina said softly, her voice trembling. "I never wanted this to happen. I never meant to hurt you."Roland sighed, the turmoil within him evident in his weary expression. "Seraphina, I... I don't know what to believe anymore," he admitted, his voice laced with a tinge of vulnerability. "Butler Lucas told me the truth about Alex, about his origins. It's hard to fathom."Seraphina reached out, her hand gently touching Roland's

Family's Fortune
Roland paced back and forth in his room, his anger simmering beneath the surface. The revelation of the will had shaken him to the core, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal. Seraphina, sensing his distress, approached him cautiously."Roland, please," she implored, reaching out to touch his arm gently. "There's more to this than meets the eye. Perhaps there's a reason why Alex was named as the heir. We should consider all possibilities before jumping to conclusions."Her words only fueled Roland's frustration. "How can you say that, Seraphina?" he snapped, pulling away from her touch. "After everything we've been through, all the evidence of his true nature, you expect me to believe he's the rightful heir? It's preposterous!"Seraphina's eyes filled with concern as she watched Roland struggle with his emotions. She knew the depths of his convictions, but she also believed in looking at the situation from all angles."Roland, I understand your anger, but we must keep an o

A stunned silence engulfed the room, the weight of the words hanging in the air like a dark cloud. Roland's world seemed to collapse around him, the walls of the study closing in.

The lawyer cleared his throat, his hands trembling ever so slightly as he held the sealed envelope containing Chairman Lafayette's will. The weight of the moment hung heavily in the air, as everyone in the study held their breath, their eyes fixed on the lawyer, waiting for the revelations that would shape their futures."Can you read out the will, now!?"
