The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 045
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

In the grandiose hotel, Albert wore a confused expression, eagerly awaiting his master's words. Ever since Mr Duke sent him into Brian's life, he had been disturbed by Harry's constant attempts to make Brian's life miserable. Now, as Brian was about to reveal his true identity, Albert was determined to ensure Harry received his fair share of consequences.The deafening silence was shattered by Brian's icy voice.“He hired a woman to claim that I was responsible for her pregnancy,” Brian said, his tone cold and detached. “Do I look that foolish?” He chuckled slightly, raising his gaze to the ceiling. “Harry thinks he's clever,” he murmured in a barely audible voice, “but I will make him pay.”“Albert,” Brian said, turning to face him, “I have less than two hours left. 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

A smart looking man walked into the room with long strides, earning glares from the onlookers. He fixed his gold rimmed glasses and searched for Albert in the hall. Sighting an old man, a relief sigh escaped his lips as he approached Albert. He smiled brightly as he moved closer to Albert, “I've found it.” He picked up his laptop and opened it up. Albert placed his hands on the Young man's, “Not now.” He ordered. Seeing the confused look on everyone's face, Brian chuckled slightly, “I know you must be quite shocked, but let's move to business now.” he said jokingly. “I stand before you tonight as the heir to the Duke's Empire. As the future leader, I promise to work tirelessly alongside each and everyone of you to ensure our continued success and growth. Thank you” His voice was smooth as velvet, making people look at him in awe. “Oh my God! Is that really Brian? The live-in-son-in law?” A lady yelled as she turned to her friend who had a shocked expression on her face. “I..I'm spee

Brian smiled. “Harry, you've framed the Heir of the Duke's Empire. Do you understand the gravity of your offense? To make matters worse, you're still denying it? ” He turned to Albert. “Contact my lawyer and inform him of this situation.”Harry immediately fell to his knees, “Pl..please.please. I can explain.It was a mistake.” He pleaded, not caring about his reputation. “Mr Duke..” he called out but Brian simply ignored him. His hands were clenched by his fists, his body trembling from anger as he begged Brian, someone he had mocked several times.Albert nodded in approval. Remembering something, he then asked, “Master, what about the lady?”Brian placed his hands on his forehead. “I'll think of the punishment she deserves. Now, kick both of them out of this banquet,” he ordered, making Harry stagger backwards. “No! Nobody should come close to me! I'm the heir of McDaniel's empire!” he snapped, but Brian's bodyguards ignored him. They dragged both him and Lily roughly, not caring abo

Within an upscale executive suite, Brian was seated on a couch, calmly staring at the men with the supposed title, “Tycoon 6”. They all stared at him, their eyes scrunching up in disgust. no way they are accepting a toddler to dictate for them. They didn't rate him well enough to be a member let alone the leader. An old man, John,stood up, slamming his fists on the desk, his eyes flaring up in anger, “So you're the new member of Tycoon 6?” He asked as he glared angrily at Brian, “You're not as experienced as your Father! What can a young man like you offer us?” He spat. Others nodded in approval. “You're too young to be part of the group. I'm afraid we won't allow this.” “Yes, you're not fit to be a part of this group.” Brian's chilly gaze swept through everyone seated, making them shiver slightly as the temperature of the room dropped. How could such a young man impose such pressure on them? “You can't be sure I'm not fit for this position until you see how capable I am.” Brian

Lady Elizabeth was frightened to death by Brian's question. She was suddenly afraid of the man she mocked everyday of her life. Brian was powerful now, and none of them in the Brooks family would dream of reaching that high social class ladder in the society as he's miles ahead. “B..Brian” she stuttered, “Brian, my beloved son-in-law, welcome back.” She added as she avoided his gaze, making Brian chuckle as he saw Lady Elizabeth's embarrassed face for the first time. “So I'm your beloved son-in-law now?” He asked, his eyes staring intently at her almost boring holes into her body. “Y..y..yes.” Lady Elizabeth mumbled, not daring to say something that would upset him. Waving it aside, he turned to the Maid who's knees were still on the ground. His eyes turned cold as he stared at her. Brian's heart twisted in pain as he remembered how she made him do the same work over and over again just to make him feel what the maid's are passing through. He bent down slightly, his hands raising h

On the same day, Brian asked his assistant, Reed to organize a press conference. He was calmly sitting in his office, his hands calmly tapping of the desk, “Albert, is everything in order?” Brian asked after a while. “Yes, master.” Albert nodded. “ The press conference will be held in 2 hours. There, you can announce to the whole City you're the new CEO of the Duke's Empire.” Brian smiled, “Fair enough. Now that the directors have agreed, there's nothing else to worry about. Albert, who could have thought that idea would have worked?” Albert grinned, “Yes master. Your father was a very nice man, and for them to agree easily, he must have done a lot of things for them.” Checking his wrist watch, “Master, we need to go now. Let's not keep the reporters waiting.” He added as he stood up to leave.***In a conference room in the Company's headquarters.The room was filled with reporters, cameras, and Company executives. Each of them eagerly waited for the supposed CEO. Brian smiled as

Brian walked into the hospital room, a mix of emotions swirling inside him. He hadn't seen his mother in months, not since he'd arranged for her to be transferred to this private hospital. He'd been busy with work and hadn't made time to visit, but now he regretted that decision."Mother, please listen to me," Brian said, his voice softening as he approached her bedside.But Sophie refused to look at him, her eyes fixed on the wall ahead. "You've made your choice, Brian. You've chosen your company over your family. I don't want to hear your excuses."Brian sighed, feeling a pang of guilt. He knew his mother was right. He'd been so focused on proving himself as CEO that he'd neglected those closest to him."Mom, I know I haven't been around, but I'm trying to make things right. I want to take care of you, to make sure you get the best treatment," Brian said, his voice filled with sincerity.Sophie's gaze finally met his, her eyes flashing with anger. "You think money can fix everythin

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. Right next to the pool was a garden filled with so many flowers, It looked unreal. The air was peaceful, calm and serene. He turned to his wife who basked in the sunlight, her skin glowing with youthfulness. In her arms were Ginny and George as she sat next to the garden. She stared at her kids with so much love, her heart filled with content. These past few months had been the best time of her life. Since Tyla was serving her time in prison, she got her company back. Now, Lyra was the chairwoman of Brooks Empire. That's right, she changed the name back to the initial name, and the crumbing company became better under her supervision. “Lyra, are the kids asleep? Don't you want to have fun in the pool?” Brian raised his voice, calling Lyra’s attention as he floated in the pool. Rather than settling do

Tyla tried to resist, but she was still dragged away harshly in the presence of all her employees. They all mocked her, glad that her end was finally here.

A few days later after the chaos in Ashton Hills, Lawrence foyer, emerged as the winner of the presidential election, all thanks to Brian and his hard work as well. To thank Brian for everything, he decided to hold a banquet in Brian's name. Lyra strode into the hall with a wide smile on her lips. Her raven-dark hair cascaded down her waist in wavy curls, and the emerald gown she was putting on accentuated her hourglass figure. Her nanny walked right behind her with her kids, Ginny and Georgia, and Lyra couldn't ask for more. She turned to her husband, Brian who walked right beside her, his blue boraldo suit bringing out his striking features. His hair was styled like he should be on the cover of a magazine. His steps were slow, but powerful. Merely by walking, he comma

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

North Ashton Hills, Members of the dancing 9 were seated around the table, each of their faces filled with dread. Several years of planning, training, working, went down the drain because of Brian Duke. Yes, they had planned to threaten people but Brian was still blocking their path. Duncan slammed his fists on the desk, his skin flushed from anger. 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

A man opened up the car for Lawrence, and as soon as he alighted from the car, about three to five men accompanied him to the coffee shop.

His men stood on guard outside while he pushed the door and walked into the coffee shop.A few days ago, a senator contacted him and told him about Duncan's threats. At first, Lawrence couldn't believe it. He knew Duncan was bringing people to his side, but he never thought Duncan would threaten people to side with Austin. Not until Mike told him about his wife's condition. Mike explained the whole situation to Lawrence, and Lawrence was determined to rescue his wife from the claws of Duncan. Mike couldn't do any other thing than trust the president's words. Working with Duncan was like working with the devil himself.

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

However, that only fueled his desire to know more, especially why they wanted the presidential position. Few days into the search, Killian confirmed the president's words. The dancing 9 was indeed a group who was involved in illegal activities.Killian had no idea that he had been working with desperate people. People who would kill to get a certain position. If not for the president, he would have been in the dark for ages. Few minutes later, a waiter walked towards him with a tray. He bowed towards Killian, “Good day, sir. I would like to take your order.” Slowly, Killian raised his head to meet the waiter’s eye, “I'm expecting someone soon. I'll take my order once he arrives.” His voice was soft, polite, and unconsciously, the waiter's lips curled into a smile. Killian had a meeting with Austin at this particular restaurant. Howev
