The Lost Heir Of Sargent
"No one cares whether I live or die," Christian thought as he felt himself losing consciousness, his body weak and broken after being abused to the brink of death by his own father.
When he woke, however, he found himself surrounded by a group of unfamiliar faces. These strangers, claiming to be his mother's relatives, looked at him with a mix of fury and compassion, grandfather, uncles, and aunts, people he never knew existed, stood before him.
"Who dared to hurt the heir of the Sargent family?" His uncles roared, their voices trembling with rage.
"The one who dares to lay a finger on my precious grandson will meet their end!" His grandfather declared with cold determination.
"Here, Christian," one of his aunts smiled, handing him a sparkling black card. "This is your diamond card, one of a kind. It’s all yours, you could even buy a country with it if that’s what you want."
They treated him like the most precious treasure in the world.
The once-abandoned and ridiculed son of the Adam's family turned out to be the long-lost heir of the prestigious Sargent family.
The same Adam family that had humiliated and tormented him was brought to their knees. Broken and desperate, they begged for his forgiveness.
"Christian, we’re sorry," they pleaded. "Please, have mercy on us! After all, we’re still family!"
A tale of vengeance and redemption. The Rise of Christian Sargent chronicles, a journey of an abandoned son reclaiming his identity and power as a true heir of Sargent family. As Christian unravels the mysteries of his bloodline, he forges unexpected connections, faces his enemies, and discovers the truth behind his mother’s legacy in this magical and exhilarating saga.

Chapter: I KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY REAL FATHER"Lys… please… help me…!"Christian’s voice broke as he looked at Lysandre who is standing there, his hands trembling while trying to support Adrian’s weight, his fingers already stained with blood that refused to stop flowing no matter how tightly he pressed against the wound.Lysandre rushed forward without wasting a second, his expression turning sharp the moment he saw Adrian’s condition, because even though he had said those injuries were nothing earlier, the amount of blood and the way Adrian’s body had gone slack made it clear that this was far from something to ignore."What happened here young master?" Lysandre asked quickly, though his hands were already moving, helping Christian lift Adrian properly."There’s no time to explain anything right now, Lys," Christian said hurriedly, his voice unsteady despite his attempt to remain composed. "We need to take him to the hospital first… please, help me! Let's take him to the hospital immediately."Lysandre nodded immediately, under

Chapter: STOP IT!"I think you need some fresh air, Chris."Adrian said with a firm tone, as he stood near the entrance, watching Christian who had been sitting in silence for a long time, his thoughts clearly far away from the present moment despite being physically there.Christian lifted his gaze slowly, his expression still calm but distant, as if something inside him had not yet settled after everything that had been happening over the past few days."I’m fine, Mr. Adrian," he replied softly, though even he knew those words did not hold much truth.Adrian did not argue immediately, instead he picked up his coat and said in a tone that left little room for refusal, "Even if you think you are fine, your face says otherwise, so come with me, we’ll go out for a while.... It's been a long time since we spent some time together, let's go out together, and have some fun!" Christian watched him for a brief moment before letting out a faint breath, and without resisting further, he stood up quietly and fo

Chapter: WHAT ARE YOUR ORDERS?"Chris," Andrew hugged Christian with tears flowing from out of his eyes, Christian hugged him back and gently caressed Andrew's back, "stop it, you're being too emotional!" Andrew moved back from Christian, and wiped tears, "I'm...""Enough," Christian chuckled, "see, your craziness is so far better than this emotional state of yours.... It's funny!"Andrew pouted, Tanya, Kira and Luna made fun of Andrew, Christian laughed looking at them.Andrew looked towards Christian for help, but Christian already raised his hands in air as if he cannot meddle."Traitor!" Andrew muttered, and Christian burst into laughter.However, in the end their group got together despite all the ups and downs they've gone through.After a few minutes of their happiness and enjoyment the situation became serious once again."Something is not right… and it’s getting worse."Christian’s voice was low as he stood in front of the system, his eyes moving across the data with a sharp focus that had only grown stro

Chapter: YOU THINK I BETRAYED YOU?"Andrew, can you come with us for a moment?" Christian’s voice was calm as he stood near the glass wall of the office, his expression remained composed in a way that revealed nothing about the thoughts running beneath the surface, yet the seriousness in his tone was enough to make Andrew pause in the middle of his work.It nearly took more than two days for Christian to muster up the courage to speak with Andrew, finally as they found a new lead, Christian decided to have a face to face conversation with Andrew.Heating to Christian's voice, Andrew looked up immediately, a flicker of unease passing through his eyes as he glanced briefly at Tanya, Luna, and Kira standing not far behind Christian, and something about the way all of them were watching him made his chest tighten without understanding why."Did something happen? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Andrew asked cautiously, trying to keep his voice steady even though his instincts were already warning him that this wa

Chapter: WHO?"If something doesn’t feel right, then it probably isn’t right." Christian’s voice was calm as he spoke those words, though his eyes remained fixed on the screen in front of him, carefully going through the data logs that had been pulled from the company’s internal system over the past few days.Despite Adrian taking initiative to help, Christian simply declined the help and said he'll handle everything on his own as that's something he is supposed to do.The office was unusually quiet for that time of day, the usual buzz of conversations and keyboard clicks replaced by a subtle tension that none of the employees could quite explain but all of them seemed to feel.Tanya stood near the edge of the desk with her arms crossed, watching the screen with a focused expression, while Kira leaned slightly against the side of the table, scrolling through another set of records on her tablet.Luna remained a little further behind, her gaze shifting occasionally between Christian and the data, a

Chapter: DO YOU KNOW WHO IS IT?"Are you sure you want to go to the company today? Don't you want extra rest?" Adrian’s voice carried a quiet concern as he stood near the entrance, watching Christian adjust his sleeve with a calmness that did not match the weight of everything that had happened in the past few days, and although the question sounded simple, it held a deeper meaning that neither of them needed to explain aloud.Christian did not look at him immediately.Instead, he picked up his phone from the table and slipped it into his pocket before replying in a steady tone."I’ve stayed away long enough," he said. "If I disappear now, it will only make things more obvious.... Moreover, I heard so many times from my grandfather that, personal things should never affect professional life." Adrian studied him carefully, and replied, "Things are already obvious." Christian allowed a faint smile as he said, "Then there’s no harm in acting normal, it's not like I can hide forever Mr. Adrian, I have to face whateve

Chapter: HIS ONLY FAMILY"No, darling," Scarlett said, her voice calm yet carrying a quiet certainty, "you didn’t mishear it. I heard it just as clearly as you did."Ethan let out a faint breath, the corner of his lips lifting into a restrained, and almost amused smile, though there was no warmth behind it."So they’re twisting their words again," he said with a steady tone, his gaze slowly moving across Jerome, Sally, Hailey, and Jenny, not with anger, but with a clarity that made his detachment unmistakable. "It seems some habits never change."His eyes settled on them, one by one, before he continued, his voice calm yet cutting through the tension without effort."Before asking me to think of you as family," he said, "you should ask yourselves something far more important… Did you ever think of me as family to begin with?"Charlie stepped forward, his expression tightening slightly as he tried to maintain control over the situation that was steadily slipping away from them."Is this really the time to hold

Chapter: WHY I WOULD BE SURPRISED?"I apologize," Ethan said quietly, his voice steady despite the tension thick in the air, as he turned his gaze toward the old man, his expression calm yet sincere.Not out of obligation, but out of a sense of respect that stood in stark contrast to everything that had just unfolded around them.He did not bow his head in submission, nor did he lower himself in front of anyone, yet there was something in the way he spoke that carried a quiet weight, something that made his words feel genuine rather than forced."I’m not responsible for what they said," he continued in a composed tone, "but you had to hear all of it because of me, and for that, I apologize."The hall fell into a brief, and uncertain silence, the kind that did not come from peace, but from confusion, as if the direction of the situation had shifted without warning, leaving everyone unsure of what would happen next.The old man looked at Ethan, his eyes lingering on him with a faint softness, as if he was about to respon

Scarlett began, her voice edged with restrained anger, but before she could finish, Ethan gently caught her hand and pulled her slightly back."We apologize, Ms. Jenny Caspian," he said calmly.Jenny blinked for a moment, clearly not expecting that response.Then, slowly, a proud smile spread across her lips.Scarlett, however, turned to Ethan in surprise, her brows knitting slightly as she tried to understand what he was doing.Ethan, on the other hand, remained completely composed."My fiancée doesn’t know that this is a place where one’s own people aren’t respected," he continued smoothly, his tone polite, almost courteous. "And where guests are treated far worse than those who actually belong, so she stepped out of line. I apologize on her behalf."For a brief moment, his words sounded like nothing more than a formal apology, but the meaning beneath them was anything but respectful.It was subtle, sharp, and unmistakably mocking.The surrounding guests caught it almost i

Scarlett asked, her gaze shifting briefly toward Ethan as the soft glow of the chandeliers reflected in her eyes.Ethan gave a small nod, his expression calm as ever, as if the tension surrounding the place had nothing to do with him."Sometimes it’s good to keep an eye on people who are always keeping an eye on what you want," he replied. "We’re not here without an invitation, are we?"Scarlett lifted the invitation in her hands, Ethan let out a soft hum. "See? We have it, so we belong here." "Do whatever you want."Ethan raised an eyebrow with a curious look on his face, "Tell me one thing… don’t you want to know how the Carvendish family secured the investment?”Scarlett crossed her arms slowly, studying him for a moment longer than necessary as she said, "You surprise me more than you should."Ethan glanced at her, a faint hint of curiosity appearing in his eyes.

Chapter: WE ARE ALL SET TO LEAVE THIS COUNTRY "How should I begin it?" Bryan thought to himself as the next morning, he arrived at the office early to set the plan in motion. He carefully created a fake financial report detailing nonexistent transactions, ensuring it looked as authentic as possible.Once the file was complete, he placed it in a safe place where Nancy usually hides the things, so that they'll not suspect it as fake.As the file was hidden safely, he placed four tiny cameras to cover angles of the room, so that he can capture every movement in the office."Now this is perfect to trap a rat," Bryan smirked, and left the room immediately, he asked Nancy also not to go into the room for a whole day and lie about having work outside.He also went to college to complete his tasks there, after finishing all, by the end of the day, Bryan returned to the office and checked the original CCTV footage of Nancy's office, as he suspected the cameras didn't work.To make it more dramatic Bryan called for a few security staff wh

Bryan felt inwardly, but not wasting anytime, he left the room, and as he was on his way to leave the floor, he was caught by Jake.Without letting him to notice, Bryan hid the piece in his pocket, Jake frowned, "what are you doing here?" "Why should I answer to you?" Bryan crossed his arms, clenching his fist, Jake sighed, "Bryan, don't push your luck too much." Just then Mia who heard the commotion came there, "What's happening here?""Sister," Jake rushed to Mia, but Mia, ignoring Jake went to Bryan, "What happened?"Bryan shrugged his shoulders, "nothing, I was casually walking here, he came and started this commotion." "Jake, aren't you supposed to be in your room? What are you doing here?" Mia sighed, making Jake to shout at her, "Why are you believing him instead of me? You should believe in me, not him." Mia pinched her brows, "Bryan is my brother, ofcourse I'll believe in him over a liar like you, go back to your room before I call grandma, if

Do you want anything?" "No dear," Alicia tilted her head slightly, her eyes twinkling with affection, as she looked at Bryan who resembles her late husband, "You’re just like your grandfather, always diving into work. Too much, if you ask me, unlike your father, who is so lazy to work." Bryan chuckled softly, "Working keeps me focused grandma! I don't like being lazy." "I can understand," she walked over close to him and looked around only to the find many records on the table, "You must've been so busy while looking into these, aren't you?" Bryan scratched his head with a forced smile, "Well, you can say that grandma!" "My dear, you shouldn't push yourself more than necessary," Alicia's expression turned serious for a moment.

Chapter: SOMETHING CONSPIRACY"Why is this mystery never ending?" Bryan sat in his study, surrounded by stacks of old documents and family records. Unaware of what Josephine is plotting behind his back, he is so busy in getting the truth that was buried in the past. The faint glow of the desk lamp made him feel uneasy to stare at the papers, however he is so busy and involved in flipping the pages. He had been checking through the Winterwood archives for hours, determined to find any trace of evidence to support his suspicions regarding the mysteries. As he reached the bottom of an old wooden chest, a red envelope caught his attention. The paper looked too old, the edges were torn, and the handwriting on the front unmistakably belonged to his late grandfather, Edward Winterwood, "grandfather? This handwriting is similiar to grandfather's, I still remember the handwriting of grandfather from my previous life while helping my father, if so why is grandfather's handwritten paper is here?"

If you don't want to say it's okay." Bryan took a deep breath and said the conversation he had before with officer Hobbes."What the!" Stacy was beyond surprised, "how can this be?" Bryan replied, "I don't know either, but the maid is already dead too, I don't believe our mom is doing all the things alone, I'm sure someone must be helping her," Stacy looked curious, "so, did you figure out anything more about these things?" Bryan sighed, leaning back to the bedframe, "Not yet, but I have a feeling this man from mom's past holds the key to everything. If I can figure out who he is, I might be able to predict her next move, until then I'm not sure of anything because things are different from my previous life at this moment, so I can't take a blind step believing in intuition."

Chapter: CAN YOU HELP ME FIND A PERSON?"These are the files you're supposed to look at and take care of," Josephine sat at her desk in the office, glaring daggers as everyone who was looking down on her, whereas Nancy, had been firm but fair in her leadership. To Josephine, it felt like a constant reminder of her fall from grace. Once the madam of the Winterwood household, but she was now reduced to a subordinate, a reality she bitterly hatred.Just then, her phone buzzed on the desk. It was a text from Bryan, "I think you love your new life, Mrs. Winterwood." Josephine slammed her phone down, with an angry look, "The audacity of that bastard to treat me this way! I don't know what got into him out of a sudden, all these years, I've tamed him perfectly, but he became a fox out of a sudden pulling strings to annoy me." When Nancy walked into the room, holding another set of reports, Josephine couldn’t contain her anger."Just because your father made you a CEO, do you think you're superior to me?" she hissed, with a ton
