All Chapters of THE HEIRESS THEY NEVER WANTED: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Adrian walked into Ravencrest Mansion with one purpose. He wasn't there to repair the broken relationship between himself and Richard.He was there because Alexander had finally made his move. A board meeting had been scheduled for that evening, and the main item on the agenda was simple. Remove Adrian Ravencrest as chairman of Ravencrest Empire.Richard was sitting in the main living room when Adrian entered. The older man looked up immediately.Richard could see the determination in his son's eyes.“You came to see me.”Adrian walked toward one of the armchairs and sat down, his posture relaxed despite the storm waiting outside.“I’m not here to reminisce about the past or pretend we can fix everything that happened.”Richard's expression saddened slightly.“I know.”“Good.”Adrian leaned back.“Then let's talk about the present.”Richard nodded.“I’m listening.”Adrian's gaze hardened.“Alexander has called a board meeting for this evening.”Richard's expression changed.“He intend

“Congratulations to Mommy and Daddy for becoming chairpersons of big companies!” Aveline announced, clapping enthusiastically as she sat between Nadia and Adrian at the dinner table in Adrian’s penthouse.Nadia smiled at her daughter before raising an eyebrow.“How did you know about that?”“Auntie Faye and Jade were happily discussing it earlier,” Aveline replied innocently.Adrian chuckled.“Well, thank you, baby girl.”“You’re welcome, Daddy.”“Thank you too, jellybean,” Nadia said, reaching over to gently pinch Aveline’s cheek.Aveline grinned.Then, as if a completely unrelated thought had just occurred to her, she picked up her spoon and continued eating.“So, Mommy…”Nadia hummed. “Yes?”“When are we planning your wedding to daddy?”Nadia nearly choked on her food while Adrian froze with his glass halfway to his lips.“And when should I be expecting my little sibling?” Aveline continued. “I’m almost five already.”Nadia coughed violently into her napkin while Adrian slowly lowe

It had been several days since Owen moved out of their matrimonial home with Liam. Daphne had stopped counting how many times she had called him.At first, she had called from her own number.Blocked.Then she borrowed a phone.No answer.She tried another number.Nothing.She even sent messages through people who knew him, hoping he would at least agree to speak to her. He refused. Owen had completely shut her out and that hurt more than Daphne wanted to admit.She sat alone in the bedroom they had once shared, staring at the empty side of the bed. Liam's room was empty too.His clothes were gone. Even the little drawings he had once left scattered around the house had been packed away.The house was still enormous but it no longer felt like home.It felt like a reminder of everything she had lost.Her marriage.Her child.Her position in Laurent Empire.Her reputation.Her parents were now being investigated.And Nadia had taken the chairmanship she had believed would one day belong

After leaving his mother's grave, Adrian went straight to work. Richard's words kept replaying in his mind, leaving him with more questions than answers.By the time he reached his office, he had already decided that he needed to look deeper into both his mother's death and everything connected to their families.The moment Adrian stepped inside, Brad followed him with a thick document in his hand.“Sir.”Adrian looked up.“What is it?”Brad placed the document on his desk.“This contains the full evidence linking Vincent Laurent to the accident that caused the deaths of his twin sister, Celeste Laurent, and her husband.”Adrian's expression hardened.“So it's confirmed?”“Yes, sir. The evidence is strong enough to establish Vincent as the mastermind behind it.”Adrian picked up the document and flipped through several pages.His eyes moved over the photographs, financial records, phone records, and statements. Vincent had not merely known about the accident. He had arranged it.Adria

It had been two days since the kidnapping, and Adrian had barely slept. For forty-eight hours, every waking moment had been consumed by one thing which was finding Alexander.Bryan, Noah, and Brad had been working tirelessly, chasing every lead they could find. They had searched properties, tracked phone signals, questioned Alexander's known associates, and followed every possible trail, yet Alexander had remained one step ahead of them.Adrian was becoming increasingly restless. He stood in the middle of Ravencrest mansion, staring at the wall of information they had gathered. Photographs, locations, names, and documents were scattered across the table."They have been gone for two days," he said quietly. "Jade, Flora, and Aveline have been gone for two days."Noah looked at him. "We'll find them.""We should have found them already."The bitterness in Adrian's voice silenced the living room.Richard, who had been helping with the search, remained nearby. He had barely spoken during
