The Ultimate Heir. Chapter sixty-five.
After Ace and the doctor left the room, there was a profound silence between Zale and his grandfather. The weight of unspoken emotion hung in the air, and their eyes conveyed more than words ever could.Zale's grip on his grandfather's hand remained firm, an evident connection that spoke volumes about their bond.There was a mixture of sadness and affection in Cyprus Adair's eyes as he looked at his grandson.He knew the burden of worry he had placed on Zale by keeping his illness a secret, and he somewhat regretted the pain he had caused. Still, he couldn't help but admire Zale's strength and the love he radiated.As the minutes stretched into moments of quiet reflection, Zale finally broke the silence with a voice laden with a mixture of sadness and longing. "Why didn't you tell me you were seriously ill? I thought you just had asthma and it would be under control. You should have told me it was more serious than it looked.""I just didn't want to worry you," Cyprus replied, his voic

Arriving outside the room, the doctor couldn't help expressing his shock out loud."This is unbelievable. I examined his whole body and everything seemed healthy. This shouldn't be possible. I diagnosed his body when he was first brought here, and from what I found out, it was certain that he'd be in a coma for several months, if not years. But that doesn't seem to be the case here," the doctor mused aloud, his confusion clearly evident in his voice."Was there an error somewhere in my diagnosis, or is this another rare medical miracle?" he pondered deeply.After a moment's thought, however, he decided to believe that Cyprus's case was one of those rare medical miracles. He had practiced for many years and was one of the best doctors in the country, so he couldn't have suddenly made a mistake. So he decided to believe Cyprus's case was a medical miracle.Following that, he proceeded to run some tests to make sure that Cyprus had fully recovered.After multiple tests, he returned to the

Today marks the second day since Ethan visited Jenkins' family to inquire about Zale's whereabouts.As he lay on the bed of the cheap hotel room he could afford so he wouldn't have to spend the night on the street, he couldn't stop thinking about how Jenkins' family had treated him two days ago.The memory was still fresh in his mind, replaying itself every time he thought of his recent misfortune.****Two days ago….When Ethan arrived at the Jenkins mansion, he was about to enter the mansion, as he usually did on every visit, when security at the gate stopped him."I'm sorry, sir, but we've been instructed not to let you in whenever you come," one of the security guards said in a very polite tone, blocking Ethan's way.Ethan was taken aback when he heard this. A mixture of shock and anger crossed his face.What did they mean by 'they have orders not to let him in'?His ego couldn't allow him to accept those words, so he persisted. "Have you lost your mind! How dare you stand in my wa

Zale's heart raced as he steered his car into the driveway of his villa. Time was slipping through his fingers like sand in an hourglass, each grain a reminder of his dwindling chances to make it to Emma's dinner party on time. The engine's growl faded into silence as he switched off the ignition. He glanced at the clock on the dashboard—there were only about 15 minutes left before the clock struck 8:00 p.m.His villa's gate swung closed automatically with a soft thud, sealing him within its confines. The urgency pounded in his chest like a relentless drumbeat. Every second that ticked by was a step closer to disappointing Emma, the thought of which he couldn't bear.Dashing through the front door, Zale practically flew down the hallway, his footsteps echoing his haste. He barely registered the familiar surroundings as his mind was consumed by a singular mission: transform from the remnants of a hospital visit into a respectable guest.In a whirlwind of motion, he reached his bathr

After the initial exchange of pleasantries, Emma guided Zale to a round table where most of her friends were seated. She introduced him with a warm smile, "Hey, guys, this is Zale, my friend, and he will be joining us for the party."Emma's friends exchanged quick glances as if trying to confirm what they had just heard, as it was entirely out of character for Emma to introduce someone new into her tightly-knit social circle.Throughout the years, Emma had kept her personal life separate from her social circle. She was known for her dedication to work and the fact that she hardly ventured beyond her college friends. Bringing a new person, especially a male friend, to a gathering was entirely out of character.Emma was known to have a workaholic lifestyle. She doesn't have a friend besides his college friends. She only knows her business and nothing else matters to her.Lisa, Emma's closest friend, managed to hide her surprise behind a friendly smile. Even though Emma had mentioned Zale

The atmosphere in the room crackled with tension as James's unexpected announcement reverberated through the air, leaving everyone marveled and agog."This is incredible," Lisa whispered to Emma, her voice tinged with both awe and surprise. The sheer amount of the contribution had surpassed all expectations, setting the tone for what was to come.The magnitude of James's five-thousand-dollar pledge hung heavy in the air, a silent challenge to others to match or surpass it. The implications were clear — this wasn't going to be an ordinary show of support, but rather an unspoken competition."Let's do this, then," Emma muttered, glancing at Lisa. They shared their account details, and within moments, the money was visible in their respective accounts.A rush of greed surged through Lisa as she saw the credit notification appear on her bank app. Her thoughts raced with the possibilities this money could bring, igniting an ambitious spark within her.Meanwhile, Emma's emotions were a mix

Andrew was taken aback by Zale's response. He studied Zale's composed expression, unable to decipher the true motives behind his words.'This guy is seriously weird. What's with the 'right moment' nonsense?' Andrew's irritation mounted. 'Well, he can't possibly outdo my contribution, so what's the point of worrying?'Zale's demeanor puzzled him, and his frustration grew as he watched the mysterious man."Are you sure you want to do this, Zale?" Emma's voice was laced with concern and care as she asked that question.Zale smiled briefly. "I don't have any problems doing it, Emma. Rest assured, I'm doing this because I want to do this."As Zale's exchange with Emma ended, Andrew's irritation amped up. He couldn't ignore the genuine concern in Emma's voice for Zale, and it only stoked his jealousy further.Zale's calm smile in response to Emma's question triggered a surge of anger within him. 'Why does Emma care so much about him?'Emma's doubts and protective instincts fueled his resent

Zale drove directly to his villa after leaving Emma's house."It's already late, about 11 pm. Going home is the only option," he thought as he drove through the dark streets."I can't believe I have a healing ability now," Zale muttered as his thoughts were engulfed by what happened at the hospital. Every time he thought about the fact that he now had a healing ability, it brought him great joy, especially when he could use it to save those around him."But the really exciting thing is that I'll get to learn everything my grandfather kept from me," he thought, looking forward to his grandfather's upcoming discharge in two days."Why do I have the feeling that this secret might be something unpleasant? I hope my hunch is wrong," Zale pondered aloud, a mixture of concern and apprehension evident in his voice.The events of the day had left him mentally drained, prompting him to yearn for a good rest at his villa."I need to get home faster," he decided, opting for an alley instead of the

CHAPTER 180
As Zale and Ace ventured beyond the gate, the air hung heavy with tension. They arrived in front of the mansion, which was guarded by three security guards.The guards were slightly taken aback when they saw Zale and Ace.Their comrades at the gate hadn't informed them of the arrival of any guest, so they were confused.They didn't have the slightest idea of the fight that had taken place outside; they were completely oblivious.The guard, who appeared to the leader, stepped forward and asked, “Who might you be, sirs?” His voice was polite and respectful.He thought that if his companion had allowed Zale and Ace entry, it meant they were esteemed guests of honor.Ace glanced at Zale and upon seeing the hidden smirk on his face, he understood what was going to happen.“We are honorable guests of your boss. Should you really be standing here asking questions or just step out of the way?” Zale asked, his voice stern.The guard shivered slightly when he felt Zale's gaze on him. “I…I’m so

CHAPTER 179
The guard's eyes widened in shock, his expression transforming into a lethal glare directed at Zale."Who the hell are you, you bastard?" Despite his astonishment, fury seethed in his voice.Zale chuckled softly before responding, "I'm just someone who wishes to see your boss. We can avoid all of this if you tell your colleagues to let me in."The guard's eyes ignited with rage as he retorted, "Bullshit! If you don't want to leave peacefully, I will make you leave myself."The tension escalated, drawing the attention of the other guards who became alert to the hostility emanating from Zale.They stood ready, poised to open fire at a moment's notice if the need arose.Ace moved in closer to Zale and whispered in his ear, "I don't know what you're trying to do, but these guys are well-armed. I trust your decisions, but I must admit we are clearly at a disadvantage here. The shadow guards are nearby. I can send them a message, and they will take out these guys."Zale nodded, seemingly in

CHAPTER 178
In the aftermath of the charged meeting, Zale and Ace headed outside the building, toward the mansion.Zale's mind swirled with a mixture of determination and uncertainty, while Ace, ever stoic, maintained a vigilant presence.As they arrived in front of the mansion, Zale’s phone vibrated in his pocket. It was his grandfather."Zale," Oracle's voice resonated. For the first time in a long time, he called Zale by his name. "I've been monitoring the meeting. Bane's words have validity. Are you certain about this path you're taking?"Zale, undeterred, responded, "I've made my choice, Grandpa. This is a battle I must face, not just for myself, but for those who've suffered unjustly."The last part was talking about Oracle. The old man had gone through a series of emotional breakdowns after his son and his daughter-in-law died. It was one hell of a torture at that time.Oracle let out a sigh, a blend of regret and understanding in his simulated eyes. "I cannot dissuade you, but remember th

The following day, Zale gathered his closest allies in a private meeting. The meeting took place in one of the buildings in Oracle's estate.The atmosphere was charged with tension as he addressed them, laying out the challenges they faced and the imminent battle against Asper.A middle-aged man interjected, "I don't harbor personal grudges against Asper, but I'm willing to assist you."Another guest joined the conversation, expressing disdain, "That kid is a rude brat. I recall the first day he invited me to his place. He subjected me to the worst humiliation of my life. I can never forget that day. Count me in; I'm ready to join and bring him down.”"While I don't hold a personal grudge against Asper, many of his allies are my enemies. Participating in this battle, I aim to indirectly confront my enemies.” Gradually, each person in the room consented to join the battle.Zale sat at the table's forefront, wearing a smile.Once he explained the purpose of the gathering, he observed as

About an hour or so later, Zale arrived at Oracle's estate.Zale went straight to his room the second he entered the mansion.He freshened up and changed his clothes. When he was done, he headed downstairs and had his breakfast.“Where were you last night, sir?” Leia inquired as they strolled out of the dining room.As usual, they were the only ones in the dining hall. Ace was said to have gone out of the mansion early in the morning.Zale chuckled mischievously. “Why, you miss me?”“Cough!” Leia feigned a cough and changed the subject.“Anyway, how did last night go?” She asked, curious.“If you're talking about your performance, I must admit; you did….” Zale began, but Leia cut in."Not that, sir. Ace has already filled me in on that a million times," Leia interjected with a pout. "You know what I'm referring to.”Zale paused as if thinking about it. “Are you by any chance asking about what happened between me and my girlfriend?” His smile had taken a mischievous glint.Leia let out

Zale headed straight back to Oracle’s estate. He needed to have a serious conversation with Ace.He couldn't wait any longer. Asper had begun his move and he wouldn't just sit back and watch.“Now I have stopped to think about it, what later happened to Adams? I didn't see him again last night. I guess the security threw him out. After all, he had attacked me,” Zale muttered, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.‘Does this mean others now know about me?’ Zale mused excitedly.It was pretty easy to guess; Adams wouldn't keep what he saw last night to himself.Zale made it pretty clear last night that he was the one behind all of Jenkins's misfortune, so Adams would most certainly not keep quiet about it.“I’m glad things turned out this way. Although I doubt Adams' words would be enough to convince them.” Zale seemed pleased by the fact that he stumbled upon Adams last night.He didn't plan to suddenly show up claiming to be the new chairman of Adair Group. To him, that wouldn't be

The atmosphere in the room shifted, with Oracle grappling with the unexpected revelation. Zale, still chuckling, tried to ease the tension."Well, Grandpa, surprise! We kept it low-key for a while," Zale said, grinning. He wanted to gauge his grandfather’s reaction.Oracle sighed, shaking his head. "You always find a way to keep me on my toes. I hope you're serious about this, Zale."Zale's smile softened. "I am, Grandpa. Maya means a lot to me."Oracle studied Zale for a moment, then nodded. "As long as you're sincere and treat her well, that's what matters."Zale was a little taken aback when he heard that. He was confused, more like shocked.He had expected the old man to be greatly against the relationship but that didn't seem to be the case.“Seriously?” Zale couldn't help it. “Are you really not against our relationship?” He didn't expect such an outcome.“I mean, why?” Oracle pretended not to know anything.Zale gave the old man a dry look. “You're very bad at acting. You shoul

CHAPTER 173
Before long, Zale was ready to leave. He intended to head directly to his family mansion to visit his grandfather.“I will get going now, darling. Take care. I will call you later in the day.” Zale gently planted a kiss on Maya's forehead before he departed.Maya arranged a car to drive him there, therefore as soon as he arrived outside, he entered the car and left the mansion.Maya’s head guard, despite having the urge to wave at Zale while he was departing, had decided against it.What if all of this was a ploy to make him let his guard down? He couldn't help but think.“I have to be completely sure he isn't going to harm my young Miss. Only after then will I be at ease around him,” the head guard muttered to himself.The journey was long and full of silence. Adams was occupied with his thoughts, and thankfully, the driver wasn't interested in striking up a conversation with him either, so none bothered to say a word to each other.“I don't think I will be able to enter the Adair ma

CHAPTER 172
The room fell into a stunned silence upon hearing Elsher's speculation about Zale's possible connection to Adair Group. The family members exchanged bewildered glances, grappling with the implications of this unexpected twist. Azazel, breaking the silence, furrowed his brows and questioned, "Adair Group? What does that have to do with our troubles?"Elsher, maintaining her composure, explained, "Adair Group has substantial influence and connections. If Zale is indeed associated with them, it explains how he gained the resources and power to orchestrate our downfall.”"I discovered that Ace is aligned with the Adair family when I was researching the mysterious chairman of the Adair Group. Consider this – why would Zale have any association with someone like Ace if they weren't collaborating? It raises questions, especially regarding our acceptance of a contract from Adair Group. After mysteriously losing the contract funds, they still extended a substantial loan to us. Have you ever w
