The Underestimated Secret Heir 45: New Look
"Good day, sir. You appear to be confused. Have you had any negative experiences with our services?" The woman at the reception center inquired. Rex sighed as he realized someone had noticed his misbehavior. "No, nothing at all," he said, trying to cover up his embarrassing attitude. He didn't want them to notice he was a local chap. He approached the receptionist and requested a card, as he saw others coming out with cards. "How much did you say it cost?" Rex asked, making sure he heard the lady right because he thought the price he just heard from her was a mistake."$2,000, sir," the lady remarked. Rex raised his eyebrow in shock; he never imagined there could be a place where people spend so much money just for a haircut. Immediately, he remembered where he was— it was the barbershop where almost all the inmates of New Heaven Estate cut and styled their hair. He gulped and requested the card. The woman handed him the card back after deducting $2,000 from it — the credit card
The Underestimated Secret Heir 46: Conversation With Adversary
It was early morning, about 6:00 p.m., and Rex woke up to see his phone ringing. When he answered the phone call, the news he heard astounded him. "Unbelievable! So early?" Rex exclaimed as he stepped out of his house to meet the man humbly standing, waiting for him to come out. "No wonder, I heard a horn that sounded as if it was from this building, but I ignored it as I concluded it could be the car of another estate inmate," Rex said with a joyful expression. The manager of De Chris Automobiles has finally delivered the brand-new car. It was a sleek sports car that had all the features he could ever desire: GPS, heated seats, a sunroof, and a sound system that could vibrate your eardrums. He was filled with gratitude, thankfully, as no one was awake yet to see the car because he hated showing off life. He could not wait for the next day for him to drive to the charity event; thankfully, he was an errand boy, and this had helped him learn how to drive; if not, he would be enroll
The Underestimated Secret Heir 47: Donation In Disguise
Without much delay, the event started, and the three schools were all in different sections. Kingston University had its stand, the same as the two other schools that attended the event.Different activities were performed, not excluding entertainment, to make the event lively. Finally, it reached the most important activity, which is even the main reason he came: time for donations.The head of staff stood up and addressed the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, the honorable staff of UK University, Imperial College, and others, I'm standing on the existing protocol to thank you all for attending this event and dedicating your time and efforts to make sure it happens.We're moving to the next program, which is donations for charitable organizations, to help bring a good life to those suffering from anxiety and poverty," he remarked.The donations started, and different big guys trooped into the cashier and started making donations; some were presenting cash while most were making bank trans
The Underestimated Secret Heir 48: Fatal Accident
Rex drove back to his apartment feeling relished; he really enjoyed the event and became more satisfied as he reminisced about how all eyes were glued on his car as he drove in."Wow, this feels so good; being rich is really good; life is sweeter when you have money," he muttered as he was munching the Kobe beef A5 Wagyu Tomahawk, which is the highest quality beef made from a specific type of cattle from a certain region of Japan, with a chilled bottle of wine he brought out from his refrigerator."Come to think of it, it's time I look for a chef, for I will not continue buying food daily. What if they plot to poison me if they eventually find out the truth about me?" he mumbled.Unexpectedly, his phone rang. Curious about who it might be, he quickly gulped the sandwich in his mouth so he could answer the call freely."Hello, yes, Rex Humphrey, yes, the grandson of Mr. Alphonsus, the CEO of Alphonsus and Co. LTD., what do you mean? Ok, I'll be there tomorrow," he concluded and ended th
The Underestimated Secret Heir 49: Scolding
Immediately, there was a group of people with a very beautiful lady accompanying them; this put Rex in dismay, as he wasn't expecting to see anyone among them."We heard what happened, and we're really sorry for what happened; thankfully, you weren't injured," the first guy stated."Rex, please next time minimize your speeding limit if you don't yet know how to drive; we're really sorry," the lady remarked with a deadpan attitude.Rex smiled as he just heard what Cassandra said— the same Cassandra that locked him up in the police station with his boyfriend and always trolled him at school. Did Cassandra really come for solace, or did she come to know if Rex was too injured for her taste?Rex knew her intention already and wasn't deceived by her game of deceptive lies. He knew deep down Cassandra wanted him dead; the hatred even increased more on the day of the charity program, when she sighted him at the charity event with the car and her mood changed, sad about Rex's development, but

Just then, his phone flashed a notification light, and he waved to Jackson to excuse him; he had been expecting the notification since the morning before he left for his company's meeting.He tapped the notification icon, and he frowned. It was his grandfather who dropped a message for him, not the person he was expecting."Hello Son, I've been calling after an hour you told me you were on your way, but couldn't reach you, it did ring but no picking up. However, I decided to drop this message and I hope you'll see it, I hope you're in a good state, concerning the meeting, it was canceled as you were absent, so I told them to cancel it, kindly reply if you've read this message, grandpa cares"Rex let out a deep breath and texted him back; at least his mind could calm down knowing that he was safe, but he decided to keep the accident topic a secret among all of them, not excluding Jackson.As soon as he sent the message, his grandfather replied instantly, showing he had been anticipating

The class representative made a disheartening announcement to them."Class, it's confirmed that the lecture we have been waiting for will no longer hold."Immediately after he remarked, there was a joyful stir from some unserious students, from which Kanye wasn't excluded; however, the class representative broke the final sad news."A report came to me just now from the school authority saying Professor Hills was hit by a car whilst coming to school today; as the car was moving at high speed, he couldn't survive the attack, which resulted in him dying instantly," he concluded.As he ended his speech, the hall was filled with deafening silence."This means no lectures throughout this week until they get us a new professor," Rex muttered, leaving the hall.He decided to visit his very good friend as he had canceled his appointment at the company. He had been planning this surprise for weeks; fortunately, the lecture was not held, which helped him achieve his surprise for Andrea. It was A
The Underestimated Secret Heir 52: Headline News
Rex went home and started preparing for the next day's meeting; his grandfather had already told him to comport himself and maintain a high reputation while conducting the staff."Hopefully I'll be bold enough to talk and maintain a CEO's attitude to them; this is my first time working in a firm; hmm, not even just working but attending as the CEO; how am I going to stand in the presence of those high-ranking, reputable men for goodness sake? This is one of the reasons I was trying to dodge this meeting, but Grandpa kept persisting with me," he mumbled."Ok, first thing, walk in, take a seat, wait for them all, and then start presenting my speech. No! Not that way; that does not sound pleasing at all. First thing, walk in, be greeted by them all, ignore them, and head to the special seat meant for me," Rex mumbled as he practiced how to maintain a CEO's appearance and attitude."Well, when the time comes, the spirit will lead," he concluded, and he started browsing his social media app

At Range Global JD Hotel Street, the road was a busy one as different cars were trooping in and out of the hotel. Just then, a black Mercedes-Benz pulled up in the street. Though the hotel street has been busy with tons of flashy and expensive cars, however, there was no passerby the car came across that wouldn't halt and take a second glance at it. After about two minutes, the car arrived at the magnificent hotel and halted at the entrance gate, waiting for the gate to open so it could enter. Without much waiting at the entrance gate, after about thirty seconds of waiting, the gate automatically opened, and the car drove in. The gate took so much time because its monitor was checking the car to know if it was really worth entering the hotel as the car owner was not a regular customer of the hotel. Hence, the gate didn't recognize the car immediately when it arrived to open. The car was directed to a parking slot by the hotel attendant. Meanwhile, at an empty table, a lady was sea

"Alright, dear. Trust me, I won't let her cross her boundaries," Rex stated."Good, boy. Always strive hard to be a good boy," she teased, and Rex laughed."Sure, mummy," Rex responded jokingly."Goodbye; I'm in the office right now, and a visitor might come in at any time.""No problem, dear, till we see again," Rex replied."Okay, but please remember our wedding is a few days from now; don't do me dirty, please," she pleaded, her voice so soft and cold that Rex could feel her emotions."Dear, worry no more. We're going to live together until nothing separates us. A mistake can't be repeated by a wise one," Rex affirmed to her, and the call ended.He let out a deep breath of relaxation. Ava was not against his decision to take Cassandra on a date.He went to the restroom and took his bath; however, he immediately tied back his towel after remembering he wasn't with his soap, which he just purchased recently, hence it was still in his room.While he was coming out, he came across Ceci

"Alright, I'll text her right away with your number," Andrea responded."No problem," Rex responded, and the call ended."Wonders shall never end," Rex muttered as he was surprised by what he heard. He could not believe Cassandra was still in the country."This means she broke up with Kanye, probably after she couldn't resist his inability to stop cheating anymore." Rex was curious."Well, I shall hear the full story," he concluded, and he stood up to perform his morning activities before eating.As Rex squatted down and began his martial skills, he was interrupted by the ringing of his phone; however, he ignored the call because he didn't want a disturbance. However, the call came in again after the first ringing."Maybe it would be Mr. Montgomery," he let out, quitting his action to answer the call.Mr. Montgomery is a well-known businessman Rex had recently linked up with; hence, he didn't want to miss his call.However, upon picking up the call, he heard a female voice. That was w

At 6:30 p.m., the party began at Rex's building.Everyone was so jubilant and dancing to the classical music rhythm that it was difficult to detect who was superior among them because they were dancing together. Rex did not show any atom of being their boss through the way he danced and associated with them.After about an hour had passed, everyone had been tired of dancing. They sat down, while Rex remained standing. It's time to let them know the purpose of the celebration party."I'm glad and excited to share this beautiful moment with you all," he remarked, clearing his throat before continuing. "I know you all must have been eager to know the reason for this urgent celebration party, right?" he asked, smiling."Definitely, sir," Tyler responded loudly."Well, this party was held to celebrate my little achievement, to celebrate how I conquered the problem I faced these past four weeks," he said, taking a deep breath.

"Thank you, guys. We really have something to celebrate for," Rex responded to them. "I'm coming; let me drop my bag first, take a little rest, and also inform the chef," he added.***The next day, Monday, Rex was seen at the police station. He came as they requested, just so they could reach an agreement and also so he could settle them for their job well done. Additionally, to collect the remaining balance left in the Kanye West account, the money they were yet to squander before being caught.The hackers weren't able to withdraw the money directly to the account Rex provided because the bank didn't permit the transaction, suspecting they were trying to loot the money. However, they freeze the account until the owners come to verify it.As Mr. Churchill saw him, he quickly attended to him. "Welcome, Mr. Rex," he said."Thank you, Mr. Churchill. Good morning,""Good morning to you too," he responded. "We've gone through this case thoroughly and could confirm that they are not only g

He swallowed his question and gaped in awe.He began wondering if the policemen had come to arrest both the CEO and the manager."What could they have done to warrant this?" he wondered.Immediately, one of the policemen opened the back door of their black Maria and let Kanye West and Miriam out. However, as Rex and Ava caught sight of them, they gasped in unison."Mi... Miriam, you're among them too?" Ava stuttered.Nonetheless, Miriam coul

At Polite Business Group,Rex was in his office with Caroline, the accountant. They were estimating what they had lost in total from the anonymous hackers and scammers."Caroline, this is really a huge loss for the company. Do you think we can even survive this?" Rex let out a sigh as he couldn't believe what his eyes saw—he couldn't believe that the amount the scammers looted was that big.Just as he finished lamenting, his phone rang. However, he ignored the call because he wasn't in the mood to answer any calls. He was so shattered that he craved isolation.

At 2:00 p.m., Rex and Tyga were done eating and were coming out of the restaurant after he had paid. They entered the car and continued their voyage. A few minutes later, they arrived at the school, and Tyga parked the car in the parking lot and waited for Rex while he went inside to consult the school HOD. *** It was already mid-evening when Rex came out of the HOD office. However, Tyga had been worried; he was about to call Rex to find out if he was really safe in there. From Rex's countenance, Tyga could figure out that his issue had been sorted out. "Let's go now, everything is sorted," Rex told Tyga, holding an envelope. "I'm glad your problem is resolved, young master," Tyga responded. They entered the car and stormed off to the estate.
