The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 177
“What?! What nonsense are you telling me?!” Harry yelled, angered to death by Mclove’s words. “Are you insane? How could you forget something of such importance?” he yelled. He couldn't believe that Mclove would make such an unreasonable mistake. “Aren't you going to say anything?” Harry berated, his patience wearing thin. Mclove on the other hand couldn't think straight. He had forgotten the USB drive, and that was the end. There was no going back. If Harry was going to expose him in the end, then it was good if they all went down together. Since he avoided all the CCTV cameras, Harry would be traced in the end. “Harry, can you just shut it?” Mclove said coldly, his voice calm but authoritative,”I've had enough. You have my crime with you, fine, but you're also going to get caught. Once Brian finds the USB drive, that's the end.” Mclove’s words made Harry smile. The poor little rat was starting to talk back at its master, “Have you forgotten? Do you think I'll place all my eggs in

Few days later, Now that the culprit had been caught, the directors decided to give Brian a little more time. Although they were still disturbed by how the Duke Empire's reputation had been tarnished, there was nothing else they could do. They were all shocked that Mclove was behind the corruption of files. Later, they would all take turns to ask why he did something so cruel. Was he that greedy to want the whole Empire to himself, or he did that under the instructions of someone else? Brian walked to and fro in his office, his mind in a mess. Although Mclove had been caught, the problem still wasn't resolved. The broadcasting cooperation that had been shut down was a big hit to the Duke Empire, and with all their files corrupted, the stock market, shares, finances, and every other thing was going down. Even if they needed money to sort out the problem, their bank account had been frozen. There was just no opening. He was confused and heartbroken. Moments later, Albert walked in wi

Brian was shocked. The person he had initially wanted to meet had presented himself right in-front of him. In just a matter of seconds, his expression changed from that of shock to calmness, “It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Kelvin.” Brian smiled. Hearing his role model use honorifics for him, Kelvin was even more shocked. His father, Davis was one of the members of the Tycoon 6. Even as almost everyone in the group hated Brian, all Davis had was adoration. Compared to other men in the group, Brian was young and smart. Single Handedly, he found the staff and became the leader even when everyone protested. For someone to move from a mere live-in-son-in law to the CEO of the biggest Empire, Brian really deserved to be worshiped. Since then, Davis had always shown Kelvin Brian's pictures, Just so he wouldn't make a mistake and humiliate such a person. Kelvin was known for his naughty attitude. The young man only respects people who deserve the respect in his own eyes. Due to his fame,

“Now. Let's start now, please. The situation is dire.” Brian explained, and Kelvin said, “Then, let me get my laptop.” Kelvin picked up his laptop and sat down. Turning to his group members, “I’ll do this. You can all relax.” he said as he began working his magic on the laptop. Initially, Brian was surprised that Kelvin had agreed to help him with no second thoughts. “I owe you one.” he smiled, his gaze on Kelvin who smiled back, “Mr Duke, this is nothing.” Hearing Kevin's words, Orion almost choked on his saliva. Did Kelvin just say it was nothing? Even if hacking into another server was nothing, Kelvin wasn't one to do favors. When last did he sit down with his laptop to work for someone? Most times, he preferred asking the other group members to do it since it wasn't that important. Who would have thought Kevin had this level of respect for Brian? “Is anything the matter?” Kelvin gave Orion a questioning gaze when he noticed how he was staring at him. Orion meekly turned to star

As the culprit was already found, more evidence was needed. A few days quickly passed by in the blink of an eye, and things in the Duke Empire didn't seem to settle. Everyone had been cutting all ties with them, especially an important set of people in the Empire. For the past few days, he had thought of how he could get the USB drive into Harry's computer, but nothing was forthcoming. Kelvin had promised to stay back to help Brian with his Empire, but that didn't mean he had a lot of time. He had discussed the matter with Lyra, and with no second thoughts, she had volunteered to go. However, Brian had no intention of sending his wife to the lion's den, but right now, only Lyra could enter Harry's office without being questioned. After all, the man was head over heels in love with her. Left with no choice, he decided to allow Lyra to go. Delay was dangerous, and with the way things were happening, the Duke Empire was likely to go down the drain. Picking up his phone, he dialed he

In the Duke Empire, Brian and Kelvin stared at each other, unable to believe that they had the power to put Harry behind bars now. Brian was delighted, no, he was overwhelmed with Joy. With this, they could prove the Duke Empire's innocence and make sure Harry would never try such again. However, he was worried about Lyra. Since she had inserted the USB into the laptop, she didn't inform or call them about her progress. He wondered if she was okay. At the same time, Lyra's call came in, “Brian, I'm on my way home. Harry didn't suspect a thing.” she smiled, glad their plan worked. Brian sighed in relief, glad nothing had happened to his wife. “Alright, honey. I'll see you at home.” he replied before disconnecting the call. Kelvin turned to Brian, “Mr Duke, Harry McDaniels is really a criminal. Inside these files are the number of people he had sold for human trafficking. I can't believe someone could be this despicable.” he said, disbelief written all over his face. Throughout his

As Harry was a criminal, Brian had to think like a criminal. Before a criminal gets caught, he would think of several ways to escape, and he wasn't going to allow that. The Duke Empire was back in power, and so, Brian called the police to block all the airports. Giving Harry a letter that won't allow him to leave the country would take too much time. Just as Brian thought, Harry didn't want to take any chances. He felt like crushing Brian, but now wasn't the time to have such thoughts. He dashed into his room, picked up his passport and Visa, ready to leave the country. Getting caught now would ruin his entire life. Harry covered up his face with a face mask and wore a face cap to remain hidden. However, upon reaching the airport, he realized that the place was heavily guarded. Thinking it was only that airport that was guarded, he immediately went to another but it was guarded as well. Soon, he realized that they were all looking for one person, him. Immediately, he turned around

Few days later, The Brooks family household was extremely troubled. Martha had disappeared with no trace. Lady Elizabeth, Lyra and Tyla were seated in the living room, their minds in a mess. For the past few days, none of them have had a moment of rest. Compared to others, Lyra looked extremely miserable. While Tyla still had some time to touch her makeup, Lyra couldn't think of anything else. She was worried about her mother. They had complained to the police, filed a report about her disappearance but they found nothing. “What are we going to do?” Lyra said shakily, controlling the urge not to cry. “We've not found our mother. It's been three days now.” she added, turning to Lady Elizabeth and Tyla for answers. “Then you're asking us? Do you think we have the power to do anything in this case? Call your husband!” Tyla snapped, disturbed by Lyra’s pretentious acts, “If you really care about your mother, ask your husband to step in!” Lady Elizabeth turned to look at Lyra, “Yes.”

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. Tyla cried and begged, but all her cries fell on deaf ears. 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

The presidential election was taking place in Ashton Hills and several other cities across the country. Duncan was nervous and so was Austin, but since they had already bribed, threatened and forced several people, they relaxed a little. A few days ago, Duncan had asked one of his men to check if Brian was really in a critical condition and yes, It was true.Brian was presently in the hospital, bound to several machines because his life was on the line. Duncan couldn't be more excited. Immediately after winning the election, he would instruct his men to finish him up. Right now, the election could proceed with Brian out of the way. Austin walked out of his building, shoulders raised, head held high. He was nervous, but deep down he knew he was going to emerge as the winner.

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. In locations like these, Lawrence looked like the king among mere mortals with his commanding presence. 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. Even after doing all they want, they might still kill his wife in cold blood. He wasn't ready to experience that. Sighting Brian

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
