The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 66
“You’ll be attending the welcome ceremony with me,” Jeremiah said boldly, and Lynette’s eyes widened. “Y-you w-want me to what?” Lynette stuttered, her face adorned with disbelief. “I said you’ll be attending the welcome ceremony with me.” Jeremiah said, and then noticed her strange reaction. “What? Is there anything wrong with what I said?”Lynette shook her head vigorously.“No, there isn’t anything wrong, Young Master. It’s just that…” She said, then paused when she saw the look Jeremiah was giving her.It was one of confusion, and, most importantly, concern.She instantly became bashful and blushed.“It’s just what? Don’t be shy, tell me” said Jeremiah in a soft tone as he stepped closer, his demeanor reassuring her that he wouldn’t be offended if she wanted to refuse his offer.“It’s just that I’m a maid and you’re… well, you”“Okay? And?” He asked, still not understanding her problem with what he said.“And you want me to be your plus one at an important event where the king a

“Please don’t be offended, young master, but I think you should—“ Lynette said with her head down, as she couldn’t look him in the eyes, but Jeremiah placed his hand on her shoulder.Lynette jolted and then raised her head to look at Jeremiah, only to see his warm smile.“Whether you’re a maid, and I’m a royal, none of that matters to me,” Jeremiah said, and the maid’s eyes widened.“It doesn’t?” She asked.“That’s right. Status, class, and money aren’t things I look at when associating with people, as I’ve seen rich and affluent people who are terrible and low-class people who are the best in the world. At the end of the day, it’s who you are deep down that matters” Jeremiah said.He was speaking from experience as growing up the way he did made him appreciate other things more.To him, it didn’t matter that Lynette was a maid because she was a beautiful person both outside and inside, so he would happily go to the welcome ceremony with her.If his father didn’t have a problem marryi

Jeremiah and Lynette went to the maid’s quarters which was a section of the castle that the maids stay in.“This is my room, young master,” Lynette said as they stood in front of her room door.“Okay,” Jeremiah replied then Lynette turned to the door and knocked, making Jeremiah groan in confusion.He wondered why she didn’t just open the door since she said that it was her room. Why did she knock?Well, he found out why soon enough. “I’m coming!” Said someone inside the room and while Lynette recognized who had spoken by their voice, Jeremiah had one thought in mind.‘So she has a roommate’ he thought.For some reason, he had thought that the room was hers alone, but after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that of course, she had a roommate.Why would a maid stay by herself when there were so many maids in the estate? There wouldn’t be enough rooms for all of them if that was the case.A second later, the door was opened and both of them saw who opened it. It was Joyce.“

Curious to know more, they all rushed to Lynette and gathered around her again.“Am I dreaming or something? A maid is actually going to be the Young Master’s plus one? Somebody punch me 'cause this can’t be real” one of the maids, who climbed Lynette’s bed, said.They all started asking Lynette a bunch of questions like what led to Jeremiah asking her to be his plus one at the welcome ceremony. How did he ask her to be his plus one and how did she feel when he asked her?A lot of questions flew from the other maids’ mouths except Joyce's, who quietly watched Lynette check if the gown she had brought out of her wardrobe was good enough to wear to the welcome ceremony as Jeremiah’s plus one. The questions and noise became too much and Joyce smacked her tongue.“Everyone keep quiet!” Joyce yelled and all the maids froze.They all looked at her, wondering why she just yelled. Joyce looked at the dress Lynette was holding.“Give me that!” She said sternly as she grabbed the gown and pul

“To Lynette, from Young Master Jeremiah,” Lynette read, and her eyes widened.She quickly turned her face to the door and asked “When did the young master do this?”She returned her gaze to the beautiful black dress and emerald jewelry in the box and said “Was this why he wanted to follow me to my quarters? To see my reaction to his gift?”The confused maid had so many questions that needed answers, and because she couldn’t go outside and ask Jeremiah for them, she faced the only other person who could provide them for her. The same person who had shown her the wonderful present to begin with.She faced Joyce.“What’s going on here? When did the young master do this?” Lynette asked Joyce while the five other maids surrounded them and checked out what was in the box. They were amazed by how beautiful the dress and jewelry were while also waiting to hear Joyce’s answer to Lynette’s question. “A couple of hours ago, Mister Kingston called me and told me to get you something nice as a r

The dress hugged her figure perfectly.Her stomach was flat, her waist thin, her hips wide and her breasts plump with a youthful allure. To be honest, the not-so-fitting maid's uniform had done her a great disservice by hiding all her wonderful features. The color of the dress matched her fair and clear skin and the emerald jewelry around her neck and ears made her eyes pop. The red lipstick drew the attention of everyone who had eyes to her full lips, and it made her white teeth stand out even more.It wouldn’t be an exaggeration for Jeremiah to say that he hadn’t seen any woman in his entire life that looked half as good as Lynette looked at that moment and if the scale was from one to ten, then she very well broke it.Joyce, who saw the mesmerized look on Jeremiah’s face, smirked.“Didn't I tell you that you wouldn’t be disappointed, young master?” Joyce said proudly, and Jeremiah snapped out of his daze.“Yes you did,” he said to Joyce, and the maid grinned.“Young master,” Lyne

“What’s going on here?” David asked as he stared at the bar captain and his best friend, wondering why they were like that. “Who are you?” The bar captain asked David. “I’m the Umm..” David said, but stopped himself. He looked over his shoulder and stared at the guy wearing a black suit in the distance behind him. That was the person Kingston had ordered to be around him at all times and make sure he didn’t cheat his punishment. As long as that person was there, David was going to be accountable and not have access to everything that came with his birth. “I’m the Umm… I’m his best friend, but that doesn’t matter right now. What matters is what’s going on here. Why are the two of you like this?” David said. The bar Captain glared at Benson and said “This punk is being a hothead, instead of listening to instructions, and he’s making a mess of my workspace.” David, whose plan of becoming the future king depended on his friends’ actions and behavior during the welcome ceremony,
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back! CHAPTER 73
Walking down the corridor of one of the floors were nine maids who were busy conversing about the welcome ceremony.“I really wish I was one of the maids assigned to work at the ceremony. That way I would have gotten to see what the young master looked like as he's being celebrated,” one of the maids said. “I’m sure you know that you would have to work hard if you were one of the assigned maids. You wouldn’t even have the time to stare at him for long, so what’s the point?” Another maid said. “Sorry, but I prefer to rest at night.” A third maid added.“Don’t you girls want to see the him? If I remember correctly, weren’t we all just speculating whether he was more attractive than the king or just as good-looking or worst case scenario, he’s completely average?” said the first maid.“Sure, I want to see the young master in all his handsome glory, but not as much as I want to rest. I’ve been working like a dog all day and all I want now is to climb my bed and take a looooong nap,” ano

CHAPTER 142
Inside the Study, Reginald, who noticed that Jeremiah’s mind was elsewhere, asked him what he was doing. Jeremiah had actually been eavesdropping on David, wondering if he would say anything that would expose his involvement in the gas processing plant’s explosion and prove to Jeremiah that his suspicion was right. However, that didn’t happen and Jeremiah got annoyed that David stopped talking all of a sudden. From the last sentence Jeremiah heard David say before abruptly cutting himself off, he concluded that David knew he was onto him and was actively trying not to expose himself. Or perhaps it was just a coincidence, and Jeremiah was wrong about the whole thing—meaning David wasn’t involved in the explosion at all. There could only be one answer to the two possibilities, and time would reveal which one was correct because sooner or later, David was bound to slip up. All Jeremiah had to do was wait for that moment to come. Jeremiah replied “Nothing. I was just listening to wh

CHAPTER 141
David, looking at Jeremiah, blinked multiple times to emphasize his shock.Even though he had once thought that Jeremiah had joined hands with Dean and Adam to kill all the guards—after seeing the dismembered bodies when he escaped the plant—the fact that this was only an assumption and was never confirmed left him with some doubt that Jeremiah had ever gotten blood on his hands.That assumption quickly vanished after he heard about how Jeremiah saved everyone at the welcome ceremony from the Rubik's Cube bomb and even traveled a great distance to save him.However, when Jeremiah admitted outright that he had killed Dean—and went on to elaborate on how he did it—it sent a shock through David's body. He realized he might have been wrong about who Jeremiah had killed, but not about the fact that he had killed someone.‘So he really is a cold-blooded murderer’ David thought and gulped.Just then, David noticed something that felt concerning.He looked at Reginald and the three other men—

David tried standing up but before he did, Kingston offered him a hand. David looked at Kingston’s hand but instead of accepting, he felt insulted. The fact that he had just heard that Jeremiah, his one competition for the throne, was a powerful being who could do whatever he wanted, made him feel weak and useless in comparison, and seeing Kingston’s hand annoyed the hell out of him.Still, he had to maintain composure.“No thanks. I can stand on my own” David said, feigning a smile.“As you wish, Sir” Kingston replied then retracted his hand and stood upright while David went on his feet and walked back to where he once was.“Are you okay?” Reginald asked.However, David, who was annoyed that Reginald felt it necessary to ask that question out of concern for his earlier reaction, forced a smile.“I am Uncle, so please, continue,” David said. Reginald looked at Jeremiah and said “You should also listen to what I’m going to say because it involves you as well” “Okay,” Jeremiah grim

CHAPTER 139
Reginald started by revealing the history of Crimson Fall to David, who at first was confused as to why he was telling him an old folk tale but soon realized why when Reginald told him the part that only the king and a select few knew. The moment David heard about reincarnation, his eyes widened, asking himself if such a thing existed.Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only bombshell he was going to hear as the story continued to unfold.Reginald told him that it was the Garrick family's mission to make sure that Lord Crimson, the powerful dragon who ruled over Crimson Fall for centuries, reincarnated and like that wasn’t enough, he gestured at Jeremiah and told him that Jeremiah was Lord Crimson, reincarnated.“I’m sorry what?” David asked, trying to make sure he wasn’t mishearing things. “You heard me right. Your cousin, who we all thought was dead, is our one true ruler. The all-powerful, Lord Crimson” Reginald said passionately. David’s eyes blinked multiple times as he looked at

CHAPTER 138
The boldness with which Jeremiah said “Yes, I did” demoralized David. It was like he was telling David that he didn’t regret what he did and was daring him to reprimand his actions. Knowing that he couldn’t lash out at Jeremiah for what he did, David had no choice but to gulp and accept what happened and move on— making him more mad because he hated being made to feel small and insignificant. “I’m sure you had your reasons but can you please tell me why you hurt my friends,” David asked, making sure to choose his words carefully so as not to sound like he was confronting Jeremiah. “Friends? I think you’re misunderstanding something, David.” Reginald said and David quickly looked at him, wondering what he was talking about. “Jeremiah didn’t hurt your friends but your friend. Only one person was hurt by his hands” Reginald clarified. David grimaced. He reflected on Reginald’s words and remembered that the king had said “friend” instead of “friends” when he revealed that the per

That’s right, he had completely forgotten about his punishment because of the night he had, but it’s a good thing Reginald was bringing it up now.What was his uncle going to say? Hopefully, something along the lines of, he had seen that David had learned his lesson and because of that he had decided to bring the punishment to an end. David thought and started smiling discreetly.“After the aftermath of the explosion at the welcome ceremony, I have decided that—“ Reginald said, but David cut him off.“Explosion at the welcome ceremony?! What explosion?” David asked and Reginald paused.“You haven’t heard about the explosion yet?” Reginald asked. “No, I haven’t. There was another explosion but at the welcome ceremony?” David replied.David had been so anxious to find out what Jeremiah knew about the gas processing plant explosion that he was tunnel-visioned from everything else. He had just gone to his room to freshen up, changed clothes, and then went to Reginald’s study for the mee

CHAPTER 136
After looking at everyone in the Study and seeing how they were staring at him— especially Jeremiah’s whose stare was like a predator’s to a prey— David, who realized that he was in a hot mess, thought of how to get away from the situation.How could he spin the story and change the narrative in his favor? He wondered and his brain started working at a million miles an hour in search of the answer.Soon enough, a thought came to his mind and he decided to go with it.David started chuckling, making everyone wonder why he was doing that.What did he find so funny?“Uncle, what gave you the impression that I knew about the explosion before it happened?” David asked.Reginald, who thought about the question, grimaced and adjusted how he sat.“Well, if I remember correctly, you were rambling about how we should leave the area and were adamant about it for a good minute before the building exploded, so I thought that your behavior was because you beforehand that the building was going to e

CHAPTER 135
Once inside the study, the first thing Jeremiah did was pause and groan when he saw David standing in front of the desk. Kingston, who was just as surprised as Jeremiah at the sight of David, jolted and asked “Sir David, you’re already here?”“Yes, he is. Truthfully, even I was surprised when he arrived before you two did, but for some reason, he seemed eager to have the meeting which I guess is a good thing because I have so much to ask him” Reginald said.David, who was trying his best to keep his cool and act normal, turned to Reginald and smiled. “I just wanted to tell Uncle what happened because I know how worried he was about my disappearance and maybe that will calm his mind a little,” David said.Reginald, who didn’t know the young man’s true motive and believed his words, smiled. He took David’s feigned concern for him as a sign of David changing and attributed it to the punishment he gave him working. Speaking of the punishment, what was going to happen now that the guard

CHAPTER 134
Jeremiah, Kingston, and Steven went to Reginald’s study while Elizabeth went back into Jeremiah’s room to spend some more time with Lynette’s corpse.Since the body would most definitely be kept in Jeremiah’s room until the funeral tomorrow, this was going to be her only moment of privacy with her former protégé. Though it would be a one-sided conversation, as Lynette could talk back, Elizabeth was going to say everything she had in her chest and hopefully feel at ease with losing someone she cared about so soon.A couple of minutes later, after finally being at peace with Lynette’s passing, Christabel came to the room and she too got her chance to say goodbye to her friend and fellow protégé.After that, Christabel and Elizabeth reminisced on past moments they and Lynette spent together when she was alive and the experience made the remaining two form a stronger bond than what they had before.Just then, the room door was knocked. “Who is it?” Christabel asked after Elizabeth used
