All Chapters of The Understimated Heir: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The group waiting outside for Ethan to open the door only seemed to get bigger the more aggressively Mr. Rider beat on the door. “You bastard, open this damn door right now, Ethan!” Mr. Rider's voice blasted through the door.Ignoring his father's screams and the whisperings from the guests that only seemed to be getting louder, Ethan give Nina a small smile and said, “If you want to use the rumors that we are having sex to break up your engagement, then I don't need to take advantage of your body for that to happen...”As Nina was about to argue with his logic, Ethan place his index finger on her lips and said, “Listen,”The whispers had long since become loud, arrogant statements, and Nina heard a lady echo out her opinion, “Does this child have any sense? She cheated on Charles with a servant boy… What kind of stupid woman does that?”“I can’t believe he is having an affair with her too, knowing that the Walkers are her soon-to-be in-laws.” Another lady said loudly.As the reali

As rage roamed in him, Mr. Simone slapped his hand on the table, his face red with rage, and shouted atEthan and his daughter, “He’s a scumbag!! That man is worthless!! A total waste of his family name-”“Wow! It’s a good thing that you are not the one marrying him then.” Nina snorted, trying to keep calm and act cool even though her heart raced rapidly at his aggressiveness. “Because I am. And Ethan and I don’t need your blessings!”The way Mr. Simone's eyes bulged out of his head with anger and his jaw dropped in horror caused her satisfaction to rise higher than ever, making her happy at being able to put him in his place, but still, it didn’t erase the fear that was beginning to build in her when she remembered that Ethan was getting dragged into her family mess.Like he could tell what she feared, Mr. Simone looked over at Ethan, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and then yelled at him, “You want to marry my daughter?!”“Yes, Mr. Simone,” Ethan said, trying to be respectful, even th

The shop was tense in silence as everyone held their breaths as they waited for something to happen between Ethan and Drak, as though their lives depended on it. “Your teacher's teaching must be crappy for you to cheat again with a weapon, or maybe you are just a dumbass who can't do any better than this!” Ethan taunted with a growl, his lips pulled in a crooked smile as he lifted his chin, meeting Drak’s glare. Standing his ground, Ethan studied Drak's body language, his eyes, and ears alert for the slightest movement, calculating his next move. Just like the impatient fool he knew Drak to be, it didn't take long for him to tighten his grip on the knife, rushing for Ethan like a madman, screaming. Tightening his own hands into a ball, Ethan's muscles tense, preparing for the coming onslaught of attacks, waiting for Drak, and once he saw him coming, he quickly raised his right leg and kicked Drak in the stomach, catching him off guard and sending him flying across the room.

Pulling the huge glass doors open, Mr. Sue led Ethan and Nina into a marble office, closing the door and motioning them to sit down on two chairs facing each other. Once Ethan and Nina sat down, Mr. Sue went to sit behind the desk before speaking again, “Well, I hope you both have a good reason for coming here.”“We heard that you are selling shares in your company and we want some of them,” Ethan said, resting back in his seat, his eyes never leaving Mr. Sue’s glare.Although he wanted to get mad that these two who had the most ruined reputation in the country were sitting across from him, making claims that their status prove to be impossible for them, Mr. Sue held himself together as he calmly asked, “If you can give me four million right now, I will give you fifty percent of my company.”Even though four million was just the right amount he needed to settle his financial affairs, he was being sarcastic and wanted to belittle them for making such a claim because his doubt and ar

The father and son went a full minute without blinking, and then Mr. Rider grew frustrated and said, “Will you spit it out?”“I need you to approach Mr. Simone with a proposal of an arranged marriage proposal between Nina and me.” Ethan told him straightaway. “And I also need you to arrange for the wedding to take place as soon as possible, like this weekend.” It took two minutes for Mr. Rider to go through the stages of anger to full-blossom rage, and he lashed out, “You are really pushing your luck here, Ethan!!”“As your walking blood bag, you really need to be generous to me.” Ethan casually uttered, ignoring the pain in his cheek from his father.“Is this the payment for my sins... that a prick like you is the only compatible bone-marrow donor for me!” “Maybe,”“That was not a question that was meant for you to answer!”Staring calmly at Mr. Rider, Ethan waits for a second, seeing that he was breathing heavily and his fists were clenched. “Are you going to do it or not?” Ethan
