The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 039
Lyra turned to Brian, “Honey, what's this?” She asked, her voice laced with curiosity. Her husband has a stable job already according to him. He has no reason to steal from Martin, but now that lady Elizabeth was also present, she was starting to believe that Brian had a hand in it. “Lyra, believe me, I didn't do it, you should have gotten used to them always coming for me every time.” Brian explained softly. Tyla scoffed, “So who took it? I stole from my husband?” Brian sighed, “Perhaps there's no stolen money.” Martin's expression cracked a little but he quickly composed himself. He pointed angrily at Brian, “You bastard, are you calling me a liar?!” He approached him, his hands holding Brian's collar, “I'm going to leave you today because I'm more than a thousand dollars. Don't try this cunning behavior with me again.” He spat as he pushed Brian to the ground. At the same time, Harry's luxurious car arrived at the Brook's family mansion, in his black sleek latest edition Aston

Few days later,In a luxurious office at central Ashton, An old man with a bald head sat down on a chair, his fingers continuously tapping on the desk in front of him. His assistant, Steve moved back slightly, his body trembling in fear. “So what did you say happened? Are you sure you're telling me the truth?” Landon Scott, Martin's father asked, his voice cold and menacing, sending shivers down Steve's spine. “The Duke's empire..they've stopped investing in our company. And Due to this. He paused, other companies stopped investing too because they believe that for the Duke's empire to stop investing in a company, they must have some reasons for taking that action.” He concluded. Landon slammed his fists on the desk, almost shattering it. “So you're telling me that the Duke's empire and a few other investors have..stopped investing in my company and I'm just knowing this?” He growled. “Y…yes yes..” Steve stuttered as he hung his head low, afraid of gazing into His boss's eyes.

Speechless, Roy said, “Please, I'll be quite busy with my work. Let's meet some other time.” He said, indirectly asking them to leave his office. Landon slapped Martin again, “You bastard, get on your knees and beg him. “ He roared. Frightened, Martin knelt down, tears threatening to spill from his eyes, “I'm..I'm sorry sir.” He stuttered as his heart suddenly felt bitter. If he was being punished for something he did, it would have been better, but he did nothing wrong and was being treated this way? Landon dragged Martin out of the director's office in anger, “You bastard, you're stripped of your title of being the heir to my company. Also, forget about your shares. If you manage to change my mind, I might reconsider. But for now, don't come to my company ever again. I do not want to be associated with you and your problems.” He said in one breath as he left Martin all alone in the Duke's empire. Martin ran after his father, “Dad, dad, please. I really need my shares. It will ruin

Lyra’s mood lifted immediately she entered the hall. The stunning chandelier hanging above the ceiling, the clinking of glasses and the cherry chatter of people made her smile from ear to ear. “Brian” she whispered, her gaze sparkling with warmth as she stared at him. Although her husband, Brian was lacking in some areas, she was still quite satisfied. The reason why she stayed with him till this present moment was because of his pure heart. While everyone's heart in the business world was completely poisoned, Brian was different. Brian's eyes slid towards Lyra, his face lighting up with a smile, “You see, I told you this evening would be worthwhile.” he said. Lyra giggled, her eyes twirling in delight, “Brian, I'm only here because I trust you. Don't make me regret it, okay?” Brian nodded in approval as he pulled her close, his eyes locked on hers.

Hearing Lyra’s words, Brian was completely stunned. “No, No, No, Lyra, that's not.” He tried to explain but Lily yelled, “Why are you always denying the truth?” Her voice was extremely cold, surprising people around with her outburst. “You just have to take responsibility for my baby.” She added as she pulled Brian's arms, “Let's go home together and I'll prepare your favorite meal. I'm the pregnant one, can we go now?” She pressed as she ignored the shameful glance people casted at her. Harry was quite pleased with Lily's acting. If he wasn't the one that hired her, he would have fallen for it as well. Senior Lewis turned to look at him, “Young Master” he said as he leaned close, “Are you behind this?” he inquired as he watched how Lily was openly accusing Brian. Harry's eyes turned icy, “Did you see me with her?” He asked as he glared at senior Lewis. Lewis swallowed nervously and moved away from Harry, not wanting him to flare up again. “Young lady, We've never seen each othe

Brian swallowed nervously as everyone pointed accusing fingers at him. How was he supposed to prove himself now? His gaze landed on Lyra, his beloved wife and soulmate. “Lyra,” he whispered, his voice cracking slightly. “Lyra, if you sign those papers, then it means you've allowed them to win.” He began. “Lily, remember everything we've been through together. If you don't trust me now, then it means you've never trusted me.”Lyra's eyes stung with tears as she heard her husband's words. She clenched her fists by her sides, her body trembling slightly as she faced Lady Elizabeth. “I…” she whispered as she struggled to form the words. “I won't sign those papers,” she said softly as she gazed at Lady Elizabeth. “Grandma, Just like the last time, my husband could have been…”Lyra wasn't allowed to finish her statement when her face turned to the side by the weight of Lady Elizabeth's slap. Her eyes reddened as tears threatened to spill from her eyes. “Grandma,” she choked as she faced her

I want you to extract every piece of information from his phone!” He ordered, causing Albert to shiver in fear. “O... okay, Master.”Brian then turned to the stylist, his cheekbones raised as a bright smile appeared on h

The warmth of the sun caressed Brian's skin with half his body inside a pool. His hair, damp with water clung to his neck like a second skin while the sound of laughter filled the air.

In the dead of the night, Brian's car sped down the highway. His bodyguards were positioned in the front of his car. As the car moved smoothly, suddenly, the driver noticed the image of two vehicles from the rear mirror, chasing their vehicle with all their might. Brian's driver, Alex, tightened his grip on the steering and said “Mr Duke, we're being followed.” “What?” Brian asked, slightly confused. After a hectic day at work, he wasn't really ready to encounter such a problem. He placed his hands on his forehead and sighed, “Are you sure about this, Alex?” Alex checked the rear mirror again and confirmed his suspicion, “I'm very sure sir. They're closing in on us.” he continued, stepping on the accelerator. Brian leaned back in his chair, “Alert the other bodyguards about the situation and drive in circles. Going home now is not an option.”Alex nodded, clicked on a button and alerted the bodyguards in front of them. Brian watched as Alex stepped on the accelerator, speeding on t

He shook his head, “Brian really thinks he can get away with this.” his voice rang out, dripping with venom, “Can you believe he ordered his people to dig out our past?”“What?!” One of the members spat, a look of terror plastered on his face, “He’s digging out our past? What if he gets evidence against us? What then are we going to do?” he added, his eyes fixed on Duncan. Another member turned to Tyla, “You're the reason for this, you b*tch! You've brought this upon us. It's because of your greed, that's why that bastard is after us.” she seethed. Tyla clenched her fists, “How dare you say that to me?! If not for my company, the group

Ever since the incident that happened during the campaign, Duncan had never had a moment of rest. Apart from how fast Lawrence was progressing, Brian also became stronger with each passing day. If threatening people would bring stronger people to his side, Duncan was determined to find their weakness and use it against them. Seated in a young senator's office, Duncan crossed his legs as his lips curled into a grin, “Mike Harrison, senator of Blackwoods state.” he began, leaning closer to take in his features. Mike had raven dark hair and pale green eyes. Striking features that would charm any lady. He looked like a soft man who wouldn't be able to withstand any pressure. It was exactly the kind of person Duncan was in need of. Weak and vulnerable people. Since Brian and the president were forcing his people to stop working with him, he might as well form alliances with new people. Mike was his new target. He was only a senator, but he had influence like the governor of a whole stat

As the election date moved closer, Lawrence, the president and Brian, worked hand in hand to ensure that the position didn't fall into the wrong hands. It was a sunny afternoon; the trees were green, the air clean and the sky was bright. It was the perfect time to have a campaign, and rather than holding it in Halls, Lawrence held it in a public space, where people moved around freely. There were free drinks, free food and there was no discrimination. People of different status were welcomed, each of them dressed in their best outfits. Lawrence stood on the podium with a microphone in his hands. Rather than having a robotic speech that would bore people, Lawrence conveyed his heartfelt message towards the people. He promised them a brighter future, a better world where everyone would be treated equally. Even though he was the incumbent president, there were still some mistakes he made and so, he assured the people he would keep to his word and amend his mistakes. While Lawrence co
