All Chapters of The Invisible Heir: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

His heartbeat quickened, and he instinctively averted his gaze away from the woman, internally scolding himself.‘Stupid. What did you think? Why the hell did you just walk into her room without knocking?’Julian was about to explain himself and apologize, but before he could even get a word out, the woman’s scream pierced through the room.“Help! Help! There’s a man in my room!”Great. Now she was calling for help and accusing him of having bad intentions. A frown tugged on Julian's lips as heard her. But could he blame her? He was the one who had walked into her room, without knocking.Her voice was sharp and panic striken, echoing off the walls. She quickly grabbed the nearest thing to her that she could find: a decorative vase, and held it up defensively, her hands shaking as she pointed it at him.Julian immediately raised his hands in surrender, taking a step back to show her that he had no bad intentions towards her, “Wait….stop, I'm….” He tried to explain to her but before he

“Claudia how can you defend him?”The fact that this lowlife had seen his girlfriend's stunning bare figure when not even he had the privilege of seeing her Like that yet, made Marcus very angry and jealous. Elysia and Isadora were at a loss of what to do. On one side, there was Julian Blackwood, although he wasn't known yet, he was soon to be a powerful figure in his own right, once everyone learns of his existence. On the other, their soon-to-be son-in-law, Marcus Langford, from a prominent and influential family. Usually, it would be a no-brainer to side with Marcus, but this time it was different. If they defended him, they risked angering Julian. If they sided with Julian, they risked making an enemy of Marcus. Either way, they were caught in a tricky situation. Not wanting to burn any bridges, they decided to not interfere, for now.Claudia stepped in front of Marcus, trying to push him back from Julian before things escalated. Knowing how Marcus got when he was jealous, she wa

Marcus continued, dismissive and too arrogant. “I think we shouldn’t waste another second entertaining this. Let my men handle him,” “Marcus, you idiot, keep your mouth shut for once if you know what's best for you and your family.” Isadora finally had it with Marcus and his reckless arrogance so she spoke up. Marcus was stunned after hearing the way she just spoke to him. Never in his wildest thoughts had he imagined that Isadora Vespera, his future mother-in-law, who had always treated him so kindly like a king, would snap at him like that. She didn't just snap at him, but she had also just called him an ‘idiot,’ all because of Julian, a man who was clearly not on his level. Marcus's face turned red with anger. “You’re seriously taking his side? Over me?” he demanded, glaring at Isadora in disbelief. “I might be your future son-in-law, but I will not tolerate such disrespect from you. I demand you apologize immediately, or I'll call off my engagement with Claudia.” Isadora di

“I think it’s time you started explaining,” Julian said, his voice commanding and authoritative as he stepped closer. “What the hell is going on, Vera? And don’t tell me it’s complicated. I need answers.” he demanded.Vera gave a small nod, and said softly,“That’s exactly why I brought you here. There are things I know about your parents’ murder, things you need to hear.”Julian blinked, momentarily caught off guard by her sudden willingness to talk. “Okay, I'm all ears.” he said, waiting for her to start spilling everything she knew out.Just then, the old man beside Vera finally spoke, his tone serious. “But first, let’s make one thing clear, Master Julian.”Julian turned to him, his sharp gaze sizing up the stranger. Who was this man, really? He looked very familiar, especially now that Julian stood closer, but he still couldn’t quite place the face. He looked familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time.There was something in the man’s looks that reminded him of Vera. For example t

Before he could speak, she stepped past him without hesitation, her heels clicking against the marble floor as if she owned the place.The two women she had with her followed suit, flanking her and with practiced steps.Julian blinked, caught off guard. His frown deepened as he watched them walk past him without a second glance. Who the hell did she think she was? Walking into his hotel just like that? Agitation creeped up his spine.He hadn’t even had the chance to ask her to stop or invite her in. What was her game?The audacity of it all rubbed him the wrong way. She was treating his space like it was hers, and that didn’t sit well with him."Excuse me?" Julian snapped, his voice cold as he turned to face her. "What the hell do you think you’re doing?"She didn’t stop. Instead, she walked further into the room, pausing only to glance around briefly before turning to meet his eyes.“Nice place,” she said casually, as though they’d known each other for years. “I hope you don’t mind.”
