The Unexpected Heir Chapter 78: Don't mess with me.
Bruce's POV:He must have thought I was joking and he began to laugh."You want me to pick up your phone? Are you insane? My hands won't touch something so filthy that has touched the floor!" He said with a smirk.I don't even want to ask him why he hit the phone on the floor."Did you hear what I just told you?" I asked him."Bruce, what's going on here? Why are you stopping my guests from meeting me?"I heard uncle Owen ask from behind me and I turned around to see him.So he came to welcome them by himself."Owen, you should do a better job at teaching your nephew to respect his elders." He told Uncle Owen who stopped in front of us."What happened here?" Uncle Owen asked again."Your friend..." I tried to say but was interrupted."I helped your nephew here catch his phone ,but instead of thanking me properly, he was acting too big, I threw the phone on the floor to teach you some manners." Uncle Owen's friend replied."I told you thank you and it wasn't enough for you." I gritted o
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 79: Bad in laws.
Bruce's POV: I puffed out an angry breath. I knew that people were crazy. I didn't think that my in-laws were among those crazy people. I gripped the phone angrily. How do I even try to show up here after what you did. Have you forgotten how he and his wife treated me like a pest ,when I was living in the house? Has he forgotten how he refused to help me when Dora his daughter was in a critical condition? All they cared about was money and even called her an adopted daughter. That's why they could not help her without expecting something in return. "Bruce, are you still in the line, we are waiting for you, come here quickly." He added and ended the call. I angrily stood up from my chair. I walked out of my office, called my bodyguards and we took the elevator down to meet them. My Father-in-Law , Mr Simon ,must be insane to actually come here and meet me , does he even deserve the title as my Father-in-Law? when he called Dora an adopted daughter and that was the reason he c
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 80: Gentle smile.
Bruce's POV:Now he has said why he came to see me.This man must be high on something, because he was crazy."I am not the one in charge of a company, my uncle is, so if you want to become business partners with this company you have to go to him, not me." I informed him politely but he hissed at me."You wicked , grudge holding brat, leave the past alone!" He yelled."Never!" I yelled."Don't make me attack you Mr Simon ,because if I do, you would regret getting to know me!" I yelled and ended the call.I haven't forgotten all they did to me and all the evil I passed through in their hands. I ignored them because I was so busy ,but I also ignored them because of my respect for my late wife.No matter how evil they are , they are still her family and she loved them. But by coming to my workplace, they are just trying to provoke me, they shouldn't blame me if I retaliate badly for what they did.After my call with my father-in-law , I was so angry, seeing them so happy made me so up
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 81: Investors son.
Bruce's POV:Roxy's hug was warm and her smile was so calming,I want to see it more.I was heading home from work when I saw Uncle Owen.We exchanged greetings."I heard that your in-laws came here to look for you and you kicked them out of the company building. Is everything alright?" He inquired curiously."I don't think you should be listening to rumors, I know you have more important work to do ,so why don't you concentrate on that?" I asked him and he scoffed."Yes I have more important work to attend to, but I also wanted to be informed on what's going on in my company." He told me."I didn't know you were married or had in-laws." He said."I guess that's something else you now know about me." I smiled."Why haven't I met this wife of yours, why hasn't she come to the company once?" Uncle Owen asked.I wonder why he was so suddenly interested in my life.Is it looking for my weakness?Is it trying to plot something with my in-laws?"I don't think you should bother yourself about
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 82: Presentation.
Bruce POV: I called the major investor's to talk to him, because I did not appreciate how rudely his son talked to me. After the major investor's answered my call, I explained to him what happened. "I sent my son there to learn how a company should run , how he behaves and how you control him is none of my business, but don't do anything to harm my son, I hope you understand Mr Bruce?" He asked in a threatening voice. When I was complaining to him and he told me it's not his business? "Just remember that your grandfather isn't here to contact you anymore so you should mind the way you act and react to things." He warned me. "If you don't have anything important to tell me, then do not call me again." He said and hung up. I scoffed. I wonder how Mr Dominic was handling these major investors that think they are the ones that now own the company. What should I do about this? I think someone deliberately set this up to get me on the major investors' wrong side. Well ,I will just
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 83: Annoyed.
Bruce's POV:I thought that everything was calm now until my Father-in-law tried to visit me again in the company.He was turned away by the security ,but before he left he made a scene and called me an ungrateful son in law. He was trying to get the sympathy of the public ,but I wonder if you thought doing that will make me see him.I was already in a bad mood ,because of what happened recently with the major investor's son.I wondered why my father in law was trying to provoke me. I was on my own ignoring his nonsense behavior but he wouldn't stop.Since he was trying to provoke me I don't think you should blame me for retaliating.I asked Roxy to help me and buy shares from his company.I bought shares from his company.He called me and asked me what I was planning by buying shares from his company."I thought that you wanted to get closer to me, I just wanted to get more familiar with your company building." I replied to his question and he got more suspicious."Bruce, just becau
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 84: A call.
Bruce POV:I have nothing to gain by trying to make my father's wife get angry with him but when I think about it, a private investigator said he saw my Dad and uncle Owen's secretary going into a hotel room.I don't want to think much about it but going into the hotel room can cause another mistake and make another innocent child suffer.My Father is a hypocrite ,so I knew that whatever he said I won't believe it.I decided to call my father's wife Mrs Chase, even though she doesn't like me ,I think I should call her so she can control her husband ,so that he won't make another silly mistake that traumatizes another child.I called the number she answered."It's Bruce." I found out so she could start asking who it was."Bruce ,why are you calling my phone number?" She asked me in surprise."I wanted to talk to you about your husband." I informed her.I was happy she wasn't acting crazy like the last time we spoke on the phone."What did Chase do?" She inquired curiously."I wanted to

Epilogue.
**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
