The Ultimate Heir. Chapter thirty-nine
Zale could sense the sadness in Jade's voice as he quietly uttered those words.Unable to resist, he inquired, "What happened, buddy? I didn't see Emily around. What's going on?"Back in school, Emily used to be Jade's girlfriend, and they continued their relationship even until and after graduation.Based on what Zale knew, Jade had once mentioned that he intended to marry Emily. However, as he hadn't been in contact with Jade since then, he was unaware of what later transpired between them.Jade gently disengaged from the embrace, locking eyes with Zale momentarily before averting his gaze and admitting, "We broke up. No, she left."Zale wasn't exactly surprised when he heard this.Having experienced a similar situation where his own wife left him for another man due to financial circumstances, he had grown cynical about women's intentions.Curiously, he asked Jade, "What led to your breakup? Why did she leave?"Jade's response was filled with bitterness and sorrow, "Why else would

Zale's words only fueled Tyler's amusement. "How much did you send, bike boy?" he asked mockingly.Zale chose not to engage in any form of conversation with Tyler, so he simply ignored him and placed his phone back inside his pocket."He's afraid. He doesn't want to show us his phone because he probably sent a chicken change," Tyler continued to jeer.The curiosity about Zale's donation amount grew among the onlookers.In truth, Zale didn't want to show them his phone because he didn't want anyone to see his account balance. If they discovered he had billions of dollars, they might mistakenly assume he was involved in money laundering or something similar.Mason's brother checked his phone right away for any new credit alerts but unfortunately found nothing. He opted to wait and see if the alert would appear, but even after a few seconds of anticipation, no notification came. Just as he was on the verge of looking away from his phone, a credit alert unexpectedly dropped in. Opening

Later that day, Sasha returned to Jenkins mansion and shared the outcome of her meeting with the secretary of Adair Group with her family.The news sent a shiver through everyone. Initially, they had doubts about Sasha's account, but then she provided them with the contract that Carolyn had given her to sign, which validated her claims.At that moment, the reality of the situation began to sink in for them. Among them, Azazel Jenkins seemed the most frustrated when the news broke out.As the one in charge of the family business, he was far from pleased when he heard that Adair Group had stated they were not making much profit.While this might have been true in previous years, ever since Adams came into the picture, their profits had doubled compared to the past few years.This left him questioning whether the Adair Group's secretary had told the truth or if it was just an excuse to coerce them into accepting the deal."I strongly believe their true intention is to gain control of our

Everywhere was silence as Zale's words hung in the air, leaving an awkward tension in the room. Roger's face displayed a mixture of shame and realization, as he absorbed the truth behind Zale's pointed words.He had indeed been blindly following Tyler's commands, neglecting his own desires and self-respect throughout his college years.Even after their college days, Tyler still found a way to make him constantly lick his ass.The truth behind Zale's words was strikingly obvious. Hence, everyone at the table chose to remain silent.Tyler, witnessing this, his face contorted with rage, his excitement now replaced by fury and hatred. Without a second thought, he lunged across the table, intent on punching Zale. However, before he could get the chance to do so, Rogue intervened with a determination that surprised everyone present."Enough, Tyler! I'm tired of being your dog!" Rogue declared firmly, mustering the strength to push Tyler away with great force. The room gasped in shock at

While everyone was busy cheering on Tyler to accept the challenge, Tyler, on the other hand, was regretting why he hadn't left when he had the chance.Two hundred thousand dollars was no small sum.His father certainly wouldn't go easy on him if he found out he had withdrawn such a sum from his account at once.But he didn't want to let Erix win either. Failure to do as Zale had said would be the same as accepting that he had led a false life while in college. It wouldn't only hurt his reputation, but people around him would lose the respect they had for him.'I can't let this bastard win. I'd rather endure my father's harsh words than let this bastard win,' Tyler thought silently, his mind already made up.The cheering gradually died down as Tyler pulled out his cell phone and began pressing.After a few seconds, a notification appeared on the phone of one of the girls at the table, and when she opened it, she began to jubilate, "Two hundred thousand dollar credit alert! He did it! Ty

The atmosphere in the room grew tense as Zale became the center of attention.Everyone seated around the table turned their eyes to him, their anticipation palpable.They were eager to see the unveiling of the platinum membership card that Zale claimed to possess.With a deliberate movement, Zale reached into his pocket.Time seemed to stand still as the room collectively held its breath, anxiously awaiting the outcome.The seconds stretched into what felt like an eternity and the tension mounted.Finally, Zale withdrew his hand, in which he held the elusive platinum membership card.A shocked gasp filled the room and everyone was stunned at the sight before them.It was indeed the coveted platinum membership card, a symbol of prestige and exclusivity.Zale broke the silence with his confident voice, breaking through the disbelief that had spread among the onlookers. "This is the platinum membership card. You are welcome to examine it for yourself," he explained, handing the card to an

The following morning, Sasha visited Adair Group, arriving early.Outside the premises, she saw Ethan restlessly pacing back and forth, clearly agitated and frustrated.It happened that the security guards refused to let him in.Sasha decided to approach him and offer her sympathies for his loss."I heard what happened, Ethan. It's truly unfair what happened to your company. I empathize with your frustration. Nevertheless, why did Adair Group abandon your company?" Sasha asked, her tone of genuine curiosity."I have no knowledge of what happened, Sasha. We're innocent, yet they inexplicably made the deliberate choice to undermine our company. Since that incident, I have been denied access to meet the secretary of Adair Group."Ethan begged with desperation, pleading, "Could you assist me in speaking with her? You professed your love for me, didn't you? Now is the moment to prove it." The tone of his voice conveyed a sense of desperation and hope.Ethan's appearance had noticeably deter

Zale trailed behind Jolene as they made their way through the mansion's lengthy hallway.During their stroll, he decided to ask, "Jolene, can I ask you something?""Of course, sir. I'm always available to answer your questions," Jolene responded with an assuring nod."Could you enlighten me about those old men who visited? Please, I want an honest answer," he inquired, observing Jolene's expression closely to see if she would lie."Of course, sir. They are old business partners of your grandfather. They came here to discuss business with your grandfather," Jolene responded, saying the same thing Ace had previously told him.Zale let out a weary sigh and pressed on, "I mean, can you provide more details about them? I know they were my grandfather's old business partners, but I want to know more about them."Jolene paused for a moment, seemingly pondering Zale's request. Eventually, she shook her head and replied, "I'm afraid I don't have much knowledge about them. Your grandfather only

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

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

CHAPTER 175
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

CHAPTER 174
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

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
