The Invisible Heir Jerome's thretss
Sharon hesitated. Suddenly she didn't want to say anything bad about Julian anymore. She might have been bold enough to hurl insults at Julian at first, but not In Front of Scarlett Lancaster, someone who could ruin her easily if she wanted.“You have no idea who you’re talking to,” Scarlett continued, making it clear that no matter what anyone said that wouldn't change anything between her and her husband . “If you think I would stand by and let you speak to my husband like that, you’re gravely mistaken.”The crowd was still in stunned silence, hanging on every word Scarlett said. They thought after Sharon exposed him for lying to get into her life, Scarlett would dramatically turn on him too, but, no, that was not what happened; she was still standing on his side.‘Interesting,’ Julian thougt to himself as he listened to Scarlett. He had been quiet up to this point, because he found himself admiring Scarlett even more, she completely changed his perspective of her. He had always tho

Scarlett’s first instinct was to put Jerome in his place, but before she could speak, Julian’s voice interrupted her.Julian facepalmed his forehead, shaking his head in disbelief. “You’re an idiot, aren’t you?”His audacious words shocked the crowd, wiping the smug expression off Jerome’s face. The audacity of this guy, to speak like that when he was clearly not on the same level as Jerome, was unbelievable. Maddening.However, what Jerome didn’t know, or what no one in the room knew was that Scarlett’s arrival had actually saved him.Julian had been moments away from making a phone call that would’ve turned Jerome into the poorest man in this boutique. But Scarlett’s sudden appearance had put those plans on hold for now.Still, as Julian studied Jerome’s arrogance, he couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. If this fool kept pushing his luck, that phone call could still happen. And when it did, Jerome wouldn’t even know what hit him. He would lose everything he had, and Julian was tempte

She didn't think he could pull off such a move, too. He was just pretending to have power that clearly wasn’t his? Part of her wanted to step in, to tell him to stop before he was going to made a fool of himself, but something held her back. Her attention shifted as the murmurs from the crowd grew louder. “No, not even in a million years can someone like him pull that off,” one woman said, shaking her head. “Hell, not even his wife has that ability.” “Yeah, he’s just pretending,” another voice chimed in. “Pathetic man.” Julian didn’t even glance at the people who kept doubting him,“I want it done by the end of the day,” he said to Celeste before hanging up. The boutique was silent, watching him. ‘Any minute now, he was going to leave, making up a ridiculous excuse,’ someone predicted. After all that phone call was all a lie to try and make everyone believe he was someone. “You’re bluffing, Julian,”Sharon hissed. “There’s no way you have that kind of power.” Julian turned

I-I’m sorry, Mr. Julian,” Jerome stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. All the pride and bravado he had earlier displayed were gone, replaced by a desperate, pleading tone.No matter how he felt, or humiliating it was, Jerome couldn’t deny the sheer power Julian wielded here.With a single phone call, he had managed to bring the Jefferson family’s airline to financial ruin. Jerome knew he had lost, and there was no point in maintaining his facade. His only hope was that his groveling might earn him mercy before the situation worsened.Words of desperation poured from Jerome’s lips, each one more panicking than the last, surprising everyone who had witnessed his arrogance moments ago. Was he the same person making threats, not long than 5 minutes ago? It was hard to believe.Julian, however, remained unmoved. He stared down at Jerome with an unreadable expression, offering no hint of forgiveness or pity, his silence heavier than any words could be.The onlookers were still in

“A few minutes later, they arrived at a luxurious dining establishment located within the heart of the city. The moment they walked in, Julian couldn't help being impressed, because the restaurant was an embodiment of elegance, with marble floors that shone under the soft glow of crystal chandeliers. Each table was set with fine china and polished silverware, surrounded by luxurious and soft chairs in deep red velvet color.“Wow.” He let out under his breath, as they continued walking further into the place. Despite his composed demeanor, he couldn’t hide the hint of awe in his voice.Apart from his luxurious hotel suite, it had been ages since he’d been in such a refined and extravagant setting.It made sense, given that he had spent most of his life going through the harsh realities of financial struggle. His reaction was almost instinctive, a testament to the difference between his past and his present.Scarlett turned to look at him, her brows furrowing slightly. Why did he seem

Scarlett glared at him. Why won't he just tell her what his identity was? She didn't understand him, and it was annoying her more than she was showing.“You’re deflecting again,” she said sharply, her eyes narrowing with frustration. “I’m not stupid, Julian. I know there’s more to you than what you’re letting on. Why are you so afraid of being honest with me?”Julian met her gaze, his smile softening into something more serious. “I’m being honest with you. As I said, I'm just a regular guy, trying to make a living.” Her frustration deepened, but his words left her momentarily speechless. Honestly, Scarlett didn’t know whether to be angry or intrigued by him at this point. But she couldn't help feeling more intrigued than angry at him.She leaned forward, her voice dropping slightly. “You can trust me, Julian. I’m not going to use whatever you tell me against you.” She said, suspecting that perhaps he didn't trust her enough to tell her whatever the truth was. But she was his wife,

The video contained footage, captured from a hidden camera, showing a group of masked individuals dressed in military tactical gear discussing the plan, their voices were muffled but easily clear.“We’ve confirmed the targets. No survivors,” one voice said coldly. “Yes, we did let them escape with the boy.”Julian’s fists clenched in anger. He recognized that voice. It belonged to Lex Hargrove.Julian raised the volume as he continued to listen to the Audio. The conversation between Lex hargrove and whoever he was speaking with continued, revealing more details about their operation. According to the conversation, the murder of his family wasn’t just a punishment for his grandfather leaving the organization, it was also a warning to others who might consider betrayal.After he was done listening and watching the video, Julian gathered his thoughts and processed the new information before deciding to move into the next folder. The final folder he opened was labeled ‘Operation: Contr

Inside the opulent hotel, Julian adjusted the cuffs of his sleek black suit as he walked through the grand hall. He had an earpiece on his ears, as he communicated with his security team. “Master Julian, can you hear me?” Celeste's voice came through the earpiece, smooth and professional. Julian frowned at her voice, his irritation barely concealed. As if it wasn’t already bothersome enough to be accompanied by a dozen security personnel, including Celeste, now he had her voice in his ear too?“What is it, Celeste?” he asked, his voice not hiding the annoyance he was feeling.“Just checking in to ensure everything’s running smoothly,” Celeste replied, sounding unfazed by his annoyance. “If anything goes wrong, let us know immediately. Additionally, Nyx is keeping a close watch on you… scratch your ear as a signal if you’re in trouble, and she’ll intervene.”Now he was being watched by Nyx? Julian rolled his eyes slightly but kept his composure. The idea of being babysat, even discre

The Invisible Heir Unchallenged
After leaving the chairman's office, Julian headed to the grand meeting room, with Nyx and Celeste by his side. He walked in with confidence and authority, his presence commanding attention.The meeting room was filled with the most influential figures in the consortium from board members to other key executives, including the President. Blackwood consortium's president was Damien Emerson, a man in his fifties, known for his strategic mind and loyalty to the company. Julian remembered him, because he used to work very close to Julian's family back then.All eyes turned to Julian as he walked around the table and took a seat reserved for the head of the consortium, making it clear who was in charge now. But, his action caught some in the room off guard. They didn't know who he was, so they exchanged puzzled glances, some whispering among themselves, questioning who he was and why he dared to sit in the seat meant for the most powerful person in the room. That seat was reserved for Da
The Invisible Heir Checkmate
Tate was very calculative, and Julian knew he had to be careful around him. Julian’s expression remained unreadable, but inside, his irritation sharpened. “Redistribute?” he asked, as if he didn't hear him the first time.Dave nodded, “A small adjustment. Nothing drastic. But by allowing select board members to increase their stakes, you’d be demonstrating your commitment to the stability.” His tone was smooth and practiced. “A show of trust, Julian.”A show of trust huh? Julian thought to himself. At this moment, he couldn't trust Dave Tate. A tense silence settled between them.Julian let the silence go on for a little bit longer, he studied Dave, trying to figure out what he was thinking. What was he planning?Well, he didn't need to think too much about it, he could already see the game Dave was playing, disguising a power grab as an act of goodwill. If Julian had to guess, Dave Tate was the one who wanted the shares for himself, so that he can have even more influence in the co
The Invisible Heir Shares for stability
Only when Julian spoke did Dave Tate finally look up from his documents.He had heard Julian walk in, of course. But being the man that he was, he had deliberately chosen to ignore him and make him wait. It was a silent display of power from him, a reminder that when it came to the Blackwood consortium, time moved at his pace and not Julian’s. He might be the heir to the consortium, but that hardly mattered here, especially when he had been away for so long.Slowly moving his gaze away from the documents and looking at Julian, Dave Tate finally acknowledged him, setting the document aside. His expression was casual, unreadable, yet there was an undeniable weight behind his eyes, one that spoke of experience, calculation, and quiet authority."Mr. Blackwood," he said, his tone cool and controlled. "I was wondering when we'd finally meet.”Dave Tate leaned back in his chair, studying Julian for a moment before gesturing to the seat across from him. "Take a seat."Julian gave a little n
The Invisible Heir Reentering his old life
Meanwhile, Julian arrived at the headquarters of the Blackwood Consortium.It was a luxurious skyscraper, towering over the city with its sleek glass exterior reflecting the afternoon sun. The structure had an impressive modern design, with its dark tinted windows. It was a very tall building. Julian took a moment to admire the view. A faint smile made its way to his lips, a part of him was glad he was back here again after being away for so long. The building was one of the tallest and most luxurious buildings, with more than 200 floors and a design that stood as a testament to the sheer power and influence of the Blackwood Consortium. From the moment he stepped foot here, Julian felt a strange sense of belonging, maybe it was because he was stepping back into a world that had always been his. But at the same time, there was also an unease at the pit of his stomach. It scared him, knowing that he wasn’t just returning as an heir. He was stepping into a battlefield. His enemies
The Invisible Heir Unseen power plays
Julian stood over the captive, his cold gaze locked onto him, as he was lying on his back, still tied to the chair. There wasn’t a trace of mercy in his expression, only a chilling look and unrelenting determination.Without needing a command, one of the guards stepped forward, gripping the chair and hauling both it and the captive upright. The man gasped, his breathing ragged, his earlier smugness shattered and nowhere to be seen.When the captive realized that his earlier answer didn’t satisfy Julian, he was even more afraid. “That’s all I know!” the captive blurted, shaking his head violently. “I swear! I never met the guy who paid me. Got the job through a middleman. No names, no details, just a target and a payout!” The same person who was acting all tough earlier and claiming he would never break, was now revealing every thing before Julian, hoping that by the end of this, he would he able to save his skin.Julian stood still, his gaze cold as he studied the captive. He wonder
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
