The Invisible Heir Stop Right There!
“Oh please, you think you can offer her something?” Clarissa sneered, her voice was filled with contempt. "What exactly, Julian? A life of poverty and mediocrity? Because that's all you're capable of offering."Julian smirked. They had no idea about him, and he couldn't wait to show them. A faint grin tugging at his lips, he replied, “Just wait, and you will see.”Scarlett’s eyes darted to Julian. Why couldn’t he just stay quiet? She had asked him to act like her husband only, not to pretend as if he had anything to offer her. Still, a small part of her couldn’t help but admire the calm confidence in his tone, he was playing the husband part to perfection, for now.Nolan’s face was red with jealousy and rage as he sized Julian up with poorly masked disdain. “And who are you, exactly? What could you possibly offer her that she doesn’t already have?”Scarlett , sensing the brewing storm, squeezed Julian’s hand lightly, hoping it would signal him to stop replying to Nolan, but he didn’t

Julian and Scarlett both turned around to face the woman.Clarissa stepped forward, her expression a mask of cold fury. “You will not take another step with this man.” Her voice was commanding, each word razor-sharp. “He’s nothing but a parasite, using you to climb the social ladder. Can’t you see that?”Scarlett let out a soft sigh, her gaze steady. “Mother, stop.” Her tone was firm but controlled. “You don’t have to like Julian, but you don’t get to control my life.”Clarissa’s eyes narrowed dangerously, but before she could reply, Alistair joined her.“Can we get some security in here? This man needs to be thrown out,” Alistair roared, his voice echoing across the suite.Nolan stepped forward, pulling out his phone with a smug grin. “No need to trouble security. I’ll call the manager.” He looked Julian over with open contempt, his words dripping with venom. “He’s a good friend of my dad’s. I’m sure he’ll be happy to teach this lowlife his place.”Scarlett’s heart skipped a beat at

Scarlett, however, felt a nervous knot in her stomach as she watched Julian's oblivious defiance. “Julian, get the fuck out of here, you don't know what you're up against,” she commanded through clenched teeth. While she didn’t know Spencer personally, his reputation was legendary. He was ruthless, with deep ties to the Blackwood empire. Julian had no idea just how deep he was stepping into trouble.But Julian, as always, ignored her, his eyes locked on Spencer.Spencer walked over to Nolan, who pointed a finger at Julian with a sneer.“This bastard refuses to leave,” Nolan spat.Vivienne added, “Mr. Spencer, this is the man who’s been causing a scene all night. He has been behaving with no respect for anyone else.”With a nod, showing that he had heard the accusations, Spencer shifted his attention to Julian. His men followed suit, stepping forward with their bats casually over their shoulders. They surrounded Julian, closing in like wolves on their prey.“He's done for now.” Landon

Nolan's face was pale with shock, but his mouth was still running, sounding so arrogant as usuall. He was still conviced Mr Spencer was mistaken,“Mr. Spencer, you’re making a mistake. This guy is just some….”Mr Spencer’s eyes narrowed, cutting him off. "Make this fool understand what happens to those who disrespect Mr. Blackwood."Without a moment’s hesitation, Spencer’s men stepped forward, giving Nolan the beating of his life. Outnumbered and unable to fight back, Nolan crumpled to the floor, his body barely able to protect itself from the relentless blows.The room was filled with the sound of fists connecting with flesh, and the tension in the air became suffocating. Everyone in the suite, including the Lancaster family, watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide in disbelief. Not even the fact that he was a Stormbone, could save Nolan this time. Even the Lancaster's who always pretended like Nolan was their favorite person in the world, didn't want to intervene in fear of them

Julian’s gaze intensified, his voice quieter but more forceful. He heard Spencer yet, he felt like his answers were not satisfying enough, “I’m not interested in vague answers, Spencer. I want the truth. I want to know why my family was murdered.” Spencer sighed, his expression determined,“I swear to you, that’s all I know. But if you’re serious about getting to the bottom of this, you should ask Mr. Bannerman or Vera. They know more than I do.” Julian gave a stiff nod, but his eyes never left Spencer. “Alright.” Spencer’s eyes darted around nervously before he leaned in slightly. “Be careful with Vera, though.” Julian’s brow furrowed. Why did he have to be careful around Vera? He was puzzled. “What do you mean by that?” He asked. Spencer looked around cautiously, as if double-checking they were alone. His posture shifted. Suddenly he was no longer exuding his usual authority, but rather a rare unease. “Listen, Master Julian, what I’m about to tell you, this stays between us. No o

Later that evening, Julian returned to his hotel, trying not to let the suspicion he felt toward Vera ruin his mood or excitement about his newfound wealth.He was a little exhausted already so without overthinking, he headed straight to bed.The following day, Julian allowed himself to fully immense in the luxury of the hotel. The soft bed the exquisite breakfast, and the calm, serene atmosphere felt like a world away from the life he had known just days ago. He spent most of the day savoring every moment, appreciating the peace and luxury that surrounded him.It was hard not to feel that he should cherish it while he could. Deep down, Julian knew that sooner or later, his life wouldn’t remain this peaceful. Now that he was the CEO of Blackwood Consortium, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something bad was just around the corner. The people responsible for his family’s murder were still out there, and there was a constant, gnawing fear that they might come for him too. He couldn’t

The group of Jasmine's old classmates noticed her immediately they stepped into the bar. Riley, the girl in the middle, smirked and called out in a loud voice, her voice attracting everyone's attention. “Hey, Jasmine! Still working this useless job huh?” She asked, with a contemptuous smile on her lips."Guess some people really are meant to be nothing in life, and you baby girl is an example of that.”Julian frowned as he heard that. She had just arrived and the first thing she did was call out to Jasmine and insult her? It was clear to Julian what their intentions were, he had gone through the same before, almost all the time.Abel from the group let out a loud, mocking laugh. “Haha, some things never change, do they? Jasmine the leech.” he said continuing to laugh, shaking his head with a grin of pure condescension. “Why don't you get over here, we want to order.” The others snickered at Riley and Abel's jokes. Jasmine didn't want to go to them, however she was on the job, and sh
Last Updated : 2024-12-07The Invisible Heir Justice Served
Jasmine glanced over her shoulder and saw Julian standing behind her. His eyes were locked on Damon and his friends, his expression that of no nonsense. Julian had tried to stay out of it, letting Jasmine handle it herself. But the moment that silver haired brat had the audacity to slap her, any thought of restraint vanished. His fists balled into fists, his eyes darkened, and an unsettling coldness settled over him. Seeing Jasmine go through it, reminded him of how he had always been treated like that in the past by people.He wasn’t just stepping in to defend Jasmine, he was about to make sure these four pathetic fools understood that they’d picked the wrong time to mess with Jasmine.Riley snorted when she saw him coming to Jasmine's rescue.“Who’s this? The bartender?” she said, curling her lips in mock amusement. “Oh, how cute. Are you two dating? Makes sense, two broke losers deserve each other.”She quickly assumed he was just another nobody, in the same financial situation a

The Invisible Heir The art of pain
The shooter had a fearful look for half a second after he heard Julian’s words, but then he chuckled dryly, shaking his head. “Yeah? And what are you gonna do, tough guy? Older you lackeys to beat me until I pass out again?” He tilted his chin up, his smirk resembling that of someone filled with arrogance, despite the fact that he had no control here,“You’re wasting your time. I’m not saying a damn thing. So do what you gotta do.”Julian exhaled audibly, a hint of irritation flashing across his face. He was already getting fed up with this person. He was playing tough, but that wouldn’t last, not with what Julian had planned out for him. One way or another, Julian had to make him speak, and so he needed to shift tactics. Julian’s expression darkened as he shot a look at Nyx. No words were needed from Julian, Nyx already understood the assignment.Without hesitation, she stepped forward and grabbed the man’s hand, twisting it at an unnatural angle. A loud crack echoed through the holdi
The Invisible Heir Interrogation
Julian laid down on his bed, thinking about his and Scarlett’s relationship, eventually sleep overtook him before he even knew it.The following day in the morning, Julian arrived at a warehouse where he was keeping the person who had shot the mayor. He walked through the warehouse entrance with Nyx and a bunch of armed security personnel following behind him.He made his way into the holding area with Nyx, while the armed men remained outside, securing the perimeter for any danger. If the shooter’s associates, or anyone else, tried to interfere, they’d be ready. Inside there were about five guys dressed in tactical gear, watching over the shooter to make sure he didn't escape.Julian gave a small signal with his fingers, and one of the guards yanked the blindfold off the captives head. The man blinked rapidly, his eyes adjusting to the dim light, before they shifted slowly to stare at Julian and Nyx who stood before him. His eyes lingered longer on Nyx, remembering that she was the
The Invisible Heir Scarlets call
After leaving the hotel, Julian returned home. In the evening around 10 pm as he lay on his bed, scrolling through his phone, trying to find some public Information about his enemies . His eyebrows arched when it suddenly vibrated. Seeing that Scarlett was calling, he paused for a moment.He had forgotten that Scarlett was in the hotel ballroom during the shooting. He wondered if she had made it out safely amidst all the chaos and panic.He answered the call and pressed the phone to his ear.“Hey, Julian,” Scarlett’s voice came through, soft but concerned.“Are you okay?” she asked. “How are you feeling?”Julian couldn’t help but grin, leaning back on his bed. She asked how he was doing. Was she worried about him now? He didn’t expect that. Honestly, Scarlett had always been aloof and cold toward him at first. It was hard to believe that now she could tolerate him like this. It was almost as if… she cared about him all of a sudden.“Aw, look at that,” he couldn’t stop himself from te
The Invisible Heir The confrontation
“Where is he?” the mayor demanded as Julian approached him and Helen. He rose from the stretcher, his face was a mask of anger and determination. “Where is the son of a bitch who dared to shoot me? Bring him to me.”Julian was taken aback by the mayors sudden behavior. All of a sudden he was acting like this? Julian expression remained calm, almost indifferent. “He’s in my custody,” he replied, his voice showing how much he couldn’t care less about the mayor's outburst, “I’ll interrogate him and let you know what I find out.”But Mayor Sullivan frowned after hearing Julian’s words. He glared deep into Julian’s eyes as if trying to scare him into giving up custody of the shooter. The mayor didn’t agree with Julian because he wanted to do the interrogation himself. Actually, he didn’t need to interrogate the shooter because he already knew who had sent him and why. But that wasn’t the point. He wanted to use the shooter to send a message to the organization, letting them know that the
The Invisible Heir A close call
The room froze, it was like everything happened in slow motion. Some couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed; had the mayor been shot right in front of them? Others, too terrified to think beyond their own survival, scrambled for safety.Panic erupted in the ballroom. Screams filled the air as chaos took hold. Guests scrambled for cover, tables overturned, and a stampede surged toward the exits. Julian’s heart beat rapidly, worrying for the mayor's life, but his focus never got affected by this. His eyes were still locked on the shooter, who was already making his escape.But Julian wasn’t going to let him get away, he walked through the terrified crowd chasing after the shooter. It wasn’t easy because bodies pressed against him, some ducking behind overturned tables, others panicking as they rushed for the exits. But he still pushed forward relentlessly. By the time Julian burst out of the ballroom and into the narrow corridor beyond, the assassin had gained significant groun
The Invisible Heir In Plain sight
The man was unconscious, stripped down to his boxers and vest. Julian’s eyes narrowed in surprise. But, it didn’t take long for Julian to put together what was happening; the man who had left the room wasn’t a real waiter. He had overpowered the actual staff member and taken his uniform as a disguise.Julian crouched beside the unconscious man, checking his pulse. It was faint but still beating . Letting out a sigh of relief, he quickly activated his earpiece. “Celeste, the situation is worse than I thought. The suspect has incapacitated a real staff member and is disguised as a waiter. He just left the room heading toward the gala.”Celeste’s voice came through, calm but urgent as usual. “Understood. I’ll alert the team to keep an eye out for anyone acting suspicious. We’ll tighten security immediately.”Julian returned downstairs where the gala was taking place. His eyes scanned the crowd, searching for the suspect. The waiter’s disguise should have made him easier to spot, but ther
The Invisible Heir Jealousy perhaps?
Julian? Her mind raced. What was he doing here… with Helen? Did the two of them know each other already? She watched how close Helen was standing to him, as if they were very familiar with one another, and it didn’t sit well with her. Perhaps it was jealousy she was feeling. After all, who would be happy to see their friend acting so close to their husband?Deep down, Scarlett knew it herself: the reason she was this uncomfortable seeing Julian so close to Helen was because she had started to develop a soft spot for Julian…. And maybe even feelings for him. She wouldn’t admit it to his face, though.Her expression shifted briefly, but she quickly masked her surprise,or the jealousy. “Hi,” she said, her tone smooth, her lips curving into a controlled smile. “What are you doing here?” she asked, directing her question at Julian.Julian smiled slightly. “I’m here on business.” he said casually.Helen didn’t pay that much attention to their exchange as she was eager to introduce them. Sh
The Invisible Heir Scarlett’s Arrival
The mayor sighed, his voice heavy with regret as he continued,“At first, they seemed harmless. Backroom deals, a little influence here and there, some people to help me push policies. But as time went on, the favors got… darker. They wanted things that went against everything I believe in: dirty money, shady deals.” He paused, taking a shaky breath. “I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t be controlled like that.”Julian’s eyes narrowed, understanding dawning on him. “And they couldn’t have that. They needed someone they could control.” It was easy for juliam to understand what the mayor was saying and what the organization was hoping for in return for helping the mayor. After all these were tactics Julian was all too familiar with. Growing in a powerful family he had witnessed firsthand how the same practices the organization was using were used by his grandfather and father to control people in key positions.In fact, Julian vividly remembered one of the lessons his father had imparted about
The Invisible Heir Sterling’s Attempts
The mayor’s eyes widened in alarm. “What… what are you talking about?” His eyes darkened slightly as he gritted his teeth. “The Sterlings again…they’ve been relentless. But they won’t win. Not this time.” His tone hardened, as though trying to convince himself as much as anyone else. The Sterling family had long been fierce rivals of the Sullivans in both business and politics. When Wendell Sterling had lost the mayoral election, he had apparently stooped to drastic measures, resorting to attempts on his opponent’s life. Julian couldn’t help but wonder if the same Sterlings the mayor was talking about had any connections to this organization. And if they were connected—and it also turned out that the old woman, Elizabeth Sterling, whom he had met at Harper & Co. Headquarters had ties to them, then Julian would need to be wary of her intentions. Helen sighed, exasperation evident in her words. “Don’t worry, Master Julian. We’ve set up enough security to handle the Sterlings. There’s
