Mr Chase's Pov(Bruce's Father):My family and I are at the time table having breakfast.Vera, my youngest daughter, was taking pictures as she ate her breakfast. I told her to put her phone away numerous times, but she refused to listen and told me that posting these pictures will get her more followers on her social media page.I don't want to ask her to put her phone away again ,because I know my wife will support her if I say anything.I just ignored her."Dad, why is it that you have a bad relationship with grandpa?" I heard Philip, who had been eating his breakfast, quietly ask.I turned my attention to him and furrowed my brows in confusion."Why are you asking me that question?" I inquired from him because even though Philip knew who his grandfather was ,he had never tried to approach him in the past ,so I wondered why he was asking this now.Something must have happened for him to bring up this conversation.Philip looked up to me with dull eyes."I just wanted to know why yo

I won't let her ruin the company that I have built up, just because she wanted to get a divorce for her own selfish gain.That woman never thinks of anyone but herself, I think Philip has gotten to know that too, that's why he said these awful words to her this morning.She needed to hear those words ,so she would know that her own son dislikes her.I was sitting in the bed in our room when the door opened and she walked in.She saw me, she frowned and rolled her eyes and she proceeded to go to
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 134: Mr. Caleb D. Black.
Bruce's POV:The private investigator that was investigating the cause of Dora's death.I called him this evening and told me he still had no clue as to who caused her death.All evidence was wiped out and he could not find anything, no matter how hard he searched.I got annoyed with him and asked him if I was paying him to go to the beach and have fun and he didn't reply."Hey! I hope you know it's been more than six months and you haven't even given me something tangible to work with, you haven't mentioned one name and you still get paid." I hissed at him and he sighed.Apart from Ivan and Erick that I have sent sometimes to find clues on who caused the death of Dora, I also hired a private investigator that his lips are sealed shut in case he got caught.He would be stupid if he actually mentioned my name."Sir , I believe in working with dignity that's why I don't want to lie to you and tell you I have a clue, when I have none." He responded and I sighed.I know he's upright and d
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 135: It started.
Bruce's POV: I seemed to now understand why no one wanted to tell me who it was. Attacking that man will be playing with fire, I know I will get burnt in the end but I still wanted justice for Dora. "I know this might get bad, but I have to do it for peace of mind." I told Mr Dominic. "From what I gathered his only son was the one behind the wheels of the car that killed your late wife." He added and another bomb was dropped on my head. So his only son was the one I was looking for, this will get messy,he won't let this go without a fight. I nodded in understanding. "I understand what you are telling me, but I will still do what is right." I told him and he nodded in understanding. "Do you have any evidence of your claim?" I asked Mr Dominic and he nodded. "Before I went into a coma , I gave it to someone for safekeeping , in case anything happens to me,it will be given to you, the CCTV footage from that day will get here soon." He replied and I nodded in understanding. Mr Do

**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
