The Unexpected Heir Chapter 108: Disowned.
Bruce's POV:Two days remaining and uncle Owen's children called Mr Dominic crying and pleading to talk to me and to let them go and drop the charges.They can't afford a good lawyer , because their maternal grandparents are the ones handling the money and they said it's not enough to hire a lawyer.I wonder how they got to spend such a huge amount of money in a short time. Well that was not my business, the only thing I wanted to do is make sure that I teach them a lesson and if I win this case, it would mean their words were wrong ,so non-stop to ask what they have been hearing about me.A day before going to court, Mr Dominic called me to his room and asked me to drop the charges against them.I refused at first, but he told me that it will do me no good suing them to court, it would only cause more harm."What about the harm they have caused to my reputation, how can I let them off that easily,it doesn't solve anything." I pointed out to him and he nodded in understanding."They
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 109: Package.
Bruce's POV:Uncle Owen's children were now out of the way, I think they have been calling Mr Dominic to forgive them, but he didn't tell me anything like that so it was just assumptions I was making.I knew it would be hard for him to take back his words of disowning them, when they showed such disgusting behavior in front of him.My Father, Mr Chase must have returned from his break, because right now he is just bothering me with calls ,asking for us to meet up and talk.He said he wants to help me run Mr Dominic's company. What a load of crap. I thought he had given up,but I guess that wasn't the case. I tried ignoring him , but he is a persistent fellow.

With how stressed I am from working almost ten hours a day, I am almost drained of energy whenever I am going home. If someone attacks me when I am going back home I won't have any strength to defend myself. That's why I was always with my bodyguards.

The Unexpected Heir Chapter 111: Abducted.
Bruce POV:Since I was so worried that if anything happened to me, things would turn bad for everyone, I decided to consult with my lawyer when I went to work the next day.He told me the necessary things I could do to ensure that everything isn't in my name.The first thing he told me to do is transfer back the mansion to Mr Dominic and that's what I did. I transferred most of the properties to him and he was worried I was going to do something dangerous.I reassured him that all was well. I just wanted to make sure he has something to rely on if something happens to me ,since I can't trust anyone. I need him to take care of himself.Since I was making this type of arrangement Mr. Dominic also made arrangements that in the case of his passing , all the properties I transfered to him would be transferred back to me.I sighed when he wrote another Will.I don't know why he just wants me to be the one handling his properties. I guess he feels rest assured, because I was doing a good

The Unexpected Heir Chapter 113: Arrested.
Bruce's POV: As the car stopped in front of the hospital building, I sighed.I still feel bad that he got beaten so brutally because of me.I came down from the car and we walked into the hospital. It was my least favorite place to visit but I had to come. After Erick got injured because of the assignment I sent him,I had to come here. I hated that Erick got badly injured, it made me feel like a boss that couldn't protect his own men.Look at me talking about someone else's safety when I almost got killed. Uncle Owen will pay dearly for his crime ,he was just lucky no one died. I would have gone after his family as well.I don't like getting families involved, but when you hurt one of my men, you hurt my family.

The Unexpected Heir Chapter 114: Sister in law.
Bruce's POV:Uncle Owen might face a death penalty or life sentence without parole,either way I won't have to bother about him anymore since all the bank accounts he had in other names were blocked.The only way he can harm me now is if he asks a friend to do it and Mr Dominic has warned all his friends to stay clear of me ,so Uncle Owen is clearly out of the picture.After my week off ,I returned back to the company and I was welcomed and greeted with flowers at the company entrance. Roxy remembered what I told her and gave me flowers and chocolate.I thanked her.I gave a small speech to the reporters ,about how I was glad that Uncle Owen was finally caught, so he can face consequences of his actions.The reporters ask me about my kidnap and if I was harmed.I reassured them all was well and headed into the company building.Roxy welcomed me again and I got white into work.I am glad I have an assistant Ceo now ,because he handled most of the files that I was supposed to review bef
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 115: Megan.
Bruce POV:Seeing this woman here brought back memories that I would like to forget, but seeing her here made me remember how our parents abandoned my late wife ,when she was in need of money for treatment.I clenched my fists angrily as I bit onto my lower lips. I was trying so hard not to say anything that would be bad in front of the public,but her smile made me feel more annoyed.How dare she smile at me when she once insulted me and asked Dora why she agreed to marry me.I glared at her until she put her hand down, did she think that because we are in a public place I would shake her hand.I would rather break my hand than shake hands with her."I think you are not that happy to see me, even though it's been a while." She chuckled nervously and I scoffed.Roxy, who was standing beside me, was watching us carefully, in case something happened and she had to intervene."What's your name again?"

**Sixteen years later** Bruce's POV: I couldn't hear Lisa,my first child and mother arguing about something and then she rushed downstairs to stand where I sat with Mr Dominic discussing what to do about my Father who was again asking for help. It never gets old. He just begs for who will give him money these days and I never help him. "Dad, Mom and I, who is more beautiful?" Lisa's velvety voice made me stare at her, as an unwavering smile adored her baby face. I saw Roxy,her mom, walking downstairs. I think she was listening to hear what I would say because she came to sit beside me. "Lisa, baby, why are you asking that?" I asked her and she pouted and folded her arms. "Mommy says she's prettier than me, so who do you think is prettier?" Lisa asked with a raised eyebrow. I think she knows what I was going to say because she was glaring at me. "Darling you and your mum are equally beautiful." I replied, because I don't want to get in some kind of trouble. "I know you never
