The Ultimate Heir. Chapter thirty-two
When Zale arrived outside the VVIP area, he saw Ace standing right outside the entrance like a typical bodyguard."You want to explain to me what this nonsense is about?" Zale asked, a hint of anger and curiosity mixed in his tone."I didn't do anything," Ace replied, and he wasn't lying. "Your grandfather did. He wanted you to experience your very first business meeting. Fortunately, you passed on your first try. You're truly talented, sir."Zale didn't know what to say when he heard that. If his grandfather had indeed arranged this, then Ace wasn't to be blamed. Nonetheless, he was still mad."Even if my grandfather ordered it, you exaggerated it wonderfully. Well done," Zale said sarcastically before heading out.Ace pursued Zale and explained to him along the way that it wasn't his fault, and that he was simply following orders.However, Zale paid zero attention to his explanation. He continued walking until he made his way out of the hotel.Once outside, he got into the Ferrari,

"I've made myself clear, I'm not interested in talking to you, so please leave me alone," a young woman of about 28 said in a rather calm voice."Come on, pretty lady, I didn't ask for much. I just want to feel your big ass in my hand. Is that too much to ask?" Said a seemingly drunk middle-aged man hoarsely and with a cheeky smile.Zale couldn't believe his ears when he heard that. He felt like throwing up at the man's words.Curious, he tilted his head to the side to get a better look at the people talking.Zale's eyes widened in shock when he saw the young woman sitting one seat away from him.Her presence was a stark contrast to the dimly lit and somewhat seedy atmosphere of the bar.He couldn't help but be captivated by her striking beauty and the air of elegance that seemed to emanate from her.Her attire spoke volumes about her disconnection from the bar's surroundings. While the rest of the people in the bar donned casual, worn-out garments, she stood out like a diamond in the

Zale observed Amelia's expression and saw how miserable she was.A part of him felt pained when he saw the look of despair in Amelia's eyes.Although he had only known Amelia for a few minutes, he felt like he had known her for a long time and understood her completely.He wasn't sure if this feeling came from the many glasses of cocktail he had drunk. In any case, it felt real to him."Damn! I can't stand to see her sad. I've to help her," Zale cursed under his breath.Amelia looked at Zale and noticed how quiet he was.Seeing that, she couldn't help feeling guilty for unsettling the peace of the moment with her sad story."I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you that. I don't even know why I started it," Amelia said, chuckling sadly. "I'm so fucking embarrassed. I'm so sorry. Let's talk about something else.""No, it's okay," Zale stopped her. "We're friends, aren't we? Don't worry, I'm sure you'll succeed tomorrow. We're friends now and I'm not going to watch you fail, alright? Now sto

Zale returned safely to the mansion after they fled the murder scene.Without any delay, he headed straight to his room.Lying down on his bed, he couldn't stop thinking about how the thugs who had attacked him earlier had been killed.Although he wasn't exactly drunk at the time, the death of the thugs had sobered him up completely.Originally, Zale had no intentions of killing them; his aim was merely to beat them until they left him.However, things had escalated when one of the thugs brandished a firearm, at which point Ace stepped in and killed them all.Zale didn't want to commit murder yet, at least not without a reasonable justification, but tonight had changed everything.Ace killed the thugs because of him, so he indirectly committed murder."Makes me sick to think that lives were lost tonight because of me," Zale muttered, letting out a weary sigh.Before drifting off to sleep, he called Carolyn and told her to take care of Amelia's company tomorrow.***The next morning Zal

After Zale left the first store because the saleswoman refused to believe he could afford a $100 million villa, he made his way to another store that was across from the store.However, unbeknownst to him, the store's manager had watched his exit through video surveillance and had become curious as to why he left the store unexpectedly without making a purchase.The store manager saw Zale as he arrived in his Audi R8. Therefore, he firmly believed that Zale would undoubtedly make a luxurious purchase. However, when Zale abruptly left the store without buying anything, the manager's curiosity was piqued, and he wanted to know the reason behind Zale's decision not to buy anything.A few moments after Zale left, the manager emerged from his office and approached the saleswoman who had attended to Zale. "Why did the customer leave without buying anything?" he inquired, his tone one of confusion and curiosity.The saleswomen exchanged glances, their faces marked by surprise and disbelief.T

Zale was slightly taken aback by this confession. It came out of nowhere.Nevertheless, he replied with a cold smile, "Of course, if you don't mind, we can be friends.""I don't mind, so we'll be friends then, right?" Emma said, joy resonating in her tone."I guess so," Zale replied with a nod. "Uh, about the invitation, I'm sorry to turn you down, but I can't come. My college classmates are having a little reunion party, and I can't miss it. I'm sorry.""Oh..." was the first word Emma said when she heard that.She was a little disappointed with Zale's answer, but she understood that reunions weren't to be missed."I guess you can't miss it then. That's all right. I'll invite you another time," Emma said in a clearly disappointed voice.Zale nodded awkwardly and returned to looking out the window.Just as Emma had said, they arrived at Zale's new villa exactly ten minutes later.As Zale stepped out of the car, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed with shock and awe at the sheer magnific

Sasha was close to tears when she heard all this.In an instant, she went from a state of joyful celebration to a point where tears welled up in her eyes and threatened to spill over.Sasha looked at Carolyn's face and saw how unbothered she was. It was as if she didn't care how hurtful her words were.After a moment's thought, Sasha finally gave an answer. "Can I go home and think about it, ma'am? I can't make a decision without my family's knowledge." Pleaded Sasha.Carolyn didn't answer immediately. She hesitated for a moment before responding."You know, we've been funding your company for years, but we don't see much profit on your side. The reason we're offering you this contract is because we want to know if we've been wasting our resources investing in your company. I hope you understand this and explain it to your family after you return. I'll give your company 24 hours to decide, and after that, if no decision has been made, we will cancel all ongoing contracts we have with y
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

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

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

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
