"What is this? Why is the news like this?" the aunt stared at the screen dumbfounded.The news they prepared and presented to the media to attack Dakota suddenly turned around and attacked them. Moreover, the news exposed their family's confidential matters."It is known that the family of the O'connor family heir's adoptive father before returning to the O'connor family treated the heir with bad manners." The man presenting the news spoke loudly with the news. "They took the money from her father's death insurance without giving any of the money left to Dakota."They were dumbfounded, looking at each other. Not understanding how it could have happened. They had no idea that news about themselves would be exposed to the media. They weren't necessary, so they didn't think the press would target them."How did they find out about that?" They were stunned. Even Dakota didn't know about her adoptive father's insurance, and his will wasn't read in front of her. She hadn't received any supp

"What the hell is Dakota doing to us?" Said the uncle, who was currently on the side of the road not far from Dakota's company.They were all forcibly evicted by the security guards and threatened to be reported to the authorities if they were still there. So, with the people forced to leave, they looked disgruntled and upset."I don't accept what he did to us." The aunt coaxing Dakota with her sweet words now showed her true face. "She can't just kick us out."The people strolling and blocking the other pedestrians seemed to be very indifferent to the other people. They walked and stopped, walked and stopped again without caring.There were three women and two men, but none cared about Dakota.The woman who had blonde hair and looked younger than them looked at her brothers with a similar look on her face. "He can't be allowed. We must teach Dakota a lesson." The woman privatized hi,."Lesson?" The woman who approached Dakota earlier turned his attention to the woman. "What do you me

"Dakota, you're such a joker." The woman, whose face looked shocked a moment ago, now turned soft. She chuckled while patting Dakota's arm.But Dakota had a different expression. He ignored what the woman was doing and just glanced at her with her gaze looking down because they were quite short and too close to her.The woman touched Dakota's hand like she was used to doing that every time she met Dakota. She didn't seem awkward at all, even though to Dakota, what she was doing was a nuisance.The woman's eyes widened, and with her face as friendly as possible, she spoke, "You are very easy to joke with. I can tell that you're a good person." She complimented Dakota, flicking her gaze towards the others, and the men greeted the woman's words with pitched exclamations. "After all, we're the ones who took care of you when you were little. If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be in this place right now." She spoke with pride."That's right!" The others exclaimed. "We are the family that too

"I told you to let me in!" Snapped the man, Dakota's uncle, while Dakota's status was unknown.Because the news about Dakota circulated across the country and appeared in the newspapers, people who recognized Dakota recognized Dakota's picture, which was only taken briefly because the O'Connor family still guarded his identity.But for people who intersect with her, of course, Dakota's silhouette is so easy for them to recognize. Therefore, the uncle is currently in the leading company owned by the O'Connor family to find Dakota."Sorry, but you can't come in." The guard at the building's main door blocked his uncle Dakota's attempt to break in.Since they were so insistent on getting in, they seemed normal at first. But when asked what their purpose was and if they had made a schedule to meet, the people, instead of answering argued to be allowed to enter.The man with slightly bleached hair near his ears brushed off the guard's hand. "I told you I was his uncle! Didn't you hear me?"

"How could this be Dakota?" The voice of a woman in the crowd on the street, staring at the street billboard that showed an announcement about Dakota.The woman stared wide-eyed at Dakota's appearance, which had changed 180 degrees from the Dakota she once recognized. The woman tightly clenched her hand that held her bag tightly, her eyes did not move from where they were, listening to the news being aired all over the country.She was Gea, the woman who rejected Dakota's love five times because Dakota was just a poor man. Gea used to really dislike Dakota because of Dakota's poor status. She was upset that a poor man like Dakota dared to like someone like her.But now, Gea seemed frustrated to know the truth. "I should have just accepted it back then." She regretted it. "If I was with him, my life wouldn't have been possible like it is today."She grumbled in annoyance, her past suddenly came back into her head, she remembered the figure of Dakota who used to like her but she rejecte

"I heard that there are many guests coming today." A glamorous woman in a dress cut low on the chest spoke to a man before her.The man nodded. "Yes. I saw from the guest list that the guests invited by them are three times more than the guests they usually invite." The classic-looking man responded.Many people dressed in luxurious clothes in the ballroom of the residence occupied by the O'Connor family as one of their leisure homes.They wore hand oes, clothes, and jewelry from world designers with limited items. They seemed to enjoy the party even though the main event had not started.Their conversations varied, ranging from simple greetings by those who rarely met because they had their own busy schedules, talking about business and what was trending among the upper-class people, to talking about their respective lifestyles as show-offs."Almost everyone who comes to this place is critical." In the middle of the party, the other guests were observing the guests.The woman with br

Karina covered her mouth in disbelief at what Dustin had just said. Her eyes filled with tears. She jumped into Dustin's arms."I'm so happy, Dustin." Karina wiped away her tears while releasing a hug from Dustin. She held the man's hand. "Come on, let's go to the hospital now to make sure that your memory has indeed fully recovered."Dustin smiled, then nodded in agreement. "Alright." He also couldn't wait to find out.They quickly got into the car and ordered the driver to go to the hospital where Dustin usually went for medical checkups. As for Ludwig and Agnes, they left it to the bodyguards and nannies to take the sleeping children back home.Along the way, Karina continued to hold Dustin's hand with an indescribable feeling on her face. Her heart kept beating fast, eager to discover if Dustin's memory had fully recovered.When they arrived at the hospital, Dustin was immediately examined by a doctor. All the examination results will be known within the next 2 hours.Karina bit h

They decided to spend time together there, making a campfire on the beach and enjoying the small waves that occasionally came closer.Ludwig was having fun today. He ate the grilled corn and sausages with gusto. "This is fun. This place is also very beautiful and makes me happy."Karina nodded her head. "That's right. Mom is always happy to be here, too." She rested her head on Dustin's shoulder. "Now everything feels complete. This happiness, the children, and our togetherness."Dustin frowned as a memory flashed through his mind. "Ah, yes. I can remember that."Karina smiled happily. They watched Ludwig, who was feeding his new pet dog and looked at Agnes, who was already sleeping peacefully on the trolley.Dustin kissed Karina's forehead warmly. The images and flashbacks in his mind continued to swirl, showing how many memories it would be a shame for him to forget.Ludwig approached them while stroking his stomach, which looked slightly distended from overeating. "Mom, Dad, I'm sl

When they arrived home, they saw Clark waiting at their door. Ludwig and Agnes rushed into the house first, along with their maidservant. Meanwhile, Karina and Dustin approached Clark.Clark immediately stood up and bowed respectfully when he saw them. "Good afternoon. I'm sorry if I'm intruding."Albert immediately lowered his head when he saw Dustin glancing at him. Dustin's gaze seemed to ask why Clark wasn't waiting inside the house. Although Albert knew that Clark was the one who had saved his master, he didn't want to be presumptuous in inviting the white-haired man into the house without Dustin's permission."Not at all. Come on, come in." Dustin touched Clark's back, led him into the house, and sat together in the living room."You should have told me in advance that you were coming here so I wouldn't have gone anywhere and kept you waiting for a long time." Dustin felt bad for making Clark wait for him. He had no idea how long he had been waiting.Clark seemed to exhale softl

Axel bowed his body before Dustin, looking very sorry for this incident. "I apologize for this unpleasant incident."Dustin nodded slowly. "It doesn't matter. It's also my fault as a parent for not paying proper attention to my child."Axel did not expect that something like this would happen at his mall. The problem was it happened to Dustin. Axel felt bad.Dustin looked back, seeing how Ludwig was doing. "Are you okay?" Ludwig nodded his head. Dustin patted Ludwig lightly on the shoulder. "You're a very extraordinary boy. You don't have to fear anything if you're in the right situation."Dustin held his son's shoulders as he leaned over slightly, looking earnestly into his son's face. "If someone else wants to push you down, you have to push them back."Ludwig exhaled softly with a severe face. "Father, don't treat me like a child. Of course, I know that." He folded his arms across his chest. "You saw that yourself, right? I can deal with both of them."Dustin smiled, then hugged Lu

Karina immediately embraced Ludwig's body. The look on her face was one of deep concern. She had been trying to avoid approaching Ludwig, holding back the resentment and anger in her heart towards the man with glasses and his son."Are you okay? No injuries?" Karina watched Ludwig's face and body, who had been pushed several times until he almost fell.Ludwig only answered with a shake of his head.Dustin slammed Nueve's hand down so hard that the man took a few steps back and dropped his glasses. His nearsighted eyes squinted, trying to see who was before him."You're the father of this fucking kid?" Nueve tapped Dustin on the shoulder with the tip of her index finger. "Look at this!" He pointed at his glasses that had fallen to the floor. "You made my glasses fall off. Compensate now!" He clucked in annoyance while holding his head. "Ah, how unlucky I am to have met two damn people like this."Dustin remained silent, looking at Nueve with a sharp gaze. He was holding back his anger

"You've hurt my son." The man's voice was so loud that it scared Ludwig because he had never been yelled at like that by anyone, not even his parents.Ludwig was scolded by the man with glasses. The man's eyes were not good, so he thought that Ludwig was a damn person who abused his son."He's the one who's not careful." Ludwig tried to defend himself. He looked at the boy sharply."Don't be evasive." The boy pushed Ludwig's shoulder, causing Ludwig to take a few steps back. "You're the one who knocked me down." The boy held up his index finger, pointing at Ludwig, seemingly not wanting to take the blame for his actions earlier.Ludwig was waiting in line for his turn to play the basketball game, but since it was filled with kids who were quite a bit older than him, Ludwig decided not to play the game and left. But when he turned around, he accidentally bumped into the boy, knocking him to the floor.It wasn't all Ludwig's fault because the boy he hit was playing with his cell phone,

Elliot raised one hand calmly. "Wait a moment." He again tried to make the payment digitally, but the network inside his phone was still interrupted."Ouch, this bastard still won't get out of the way." Visibly annoyed, a slightly built man in a sports singlet pushed Elliot aside. "That's it, I'll get served first. I'm in a hurry." The man named Clay broke through the queue and pointed at one of the menus. "Cappuccino ice less sugar one."The waitress behind the counter raised her hands hesitantly. "Sorry, sir. You can't go ahead like this before this gentleman finishes his payment."The waitress pointed to Elliot as a code for the man to finish the payment faster because, honestly, the waitress also felt annoyed, and her work was interrupted because of Elliot's delay in paying the order."Yes, my goodness. I'm sure this guy doesn't have any money. He's just saying that his digital payment app is having problems." Alexa snorted in annoyance, looking at Elliot sharply. "If you don't ha

Elliot took a deep breath while closing his eyes for a moment. "Ah, the air is so fresh."Elliot looked up at the blue sky on an obvious morning. He felt at ease in his new home now. The luxurious house that he never imagined would be his home.Elliot took a walk in the garden, looking at the colorful flowers of various types. He smiled a little, enjoying the beautiful scenery with fresh air that he rarely enjoyed due to his busy work schedule."That necklace is perfect for you." Marcus approached Elliot with both hands folded in front of his chest.Elliot glanced at his grandfather and nodded his head. "Thank you."Elliot looked at the necklace and held it for a moment. The necklace was indeed essential to him. Of course, it was because it was Jonas's only necklace. He almost lost the necklace if he didn't take it immediately yesterday.Marcus nodded his head. Not long after, Dony came over to them. "Excuse me, Master." He bowed respectfully to Marcus. "Lord. Good morning."Marcus an

"Master, did you manage to get the necklace given by Mr. Jonas?""Yes," Elliot answered briefly. His mind was in turmoil. Even now, it was throbbing violently like it was about to explode.Although he ignored Hani and Tom's words, he heard them. They threatened to report him to the police. That made him feel a little worried.Dony noticed the messy look on Elliot's face. He felt certain that something had happened in the house earlier. "Are you alright, Master?""Yes." Elliot nodded, turning his face to stare out the car window for a moment. "Oh, I want to ask you to do something. Is it possible?""Of course, Master. What should I do?""Tom will report me to the police because I beat him up." He looked at Dony with a serious face. He squeezed his hand tightly. "You should take care of it."Dony nodded his head. "Yes, Master." Dony's eyes were deep, with a small smile behind his thick black beard. "You don't have to worry. That's the guy who's going to jail."Elliot nodded slowly. His

Elliot's eyes stared intently at Hani. "I'm not a thief."Tom, who was sitting casually on the sofa, chuckled at Elliot's answer. "If you're not a thief, what did you come here for?" He raised his eyebrows upwards. "Remember, you're no longer Hani's husband. So, you have no reason to come here."Hani snorted in annoyance at her ex-husband's words. She felt irritated. "I know you're just making excuses, Elliot. I'm sure you still like me, and you came here to wish me back to you, right? Don't expect it, Elliot!"Hani looked at Elliot with hatred. She would never go back to her ex-husband. Even if the man in front of her begged, Hani would not yield. She had suffered enough in one year of marriage together with Elliot."I'm just here to get my stuff." Elliot walked into the house, reluctant to argue any longer.However, Hani blocked his body and shoved him roughly. "You're shameless." Hani chuckled in annoyance. "You can't take things here because this is all my stuff."Of course, that

Elliot cleared his throat. He was stunned. Unbelievable. "I will have more than 100 million dollars." He had never even seen how much money 100 million dollars would bring into his account."Did you forget the surname I just mentioned?" Marcus raised one eyebrow, thinking Elliot should be a little proud.Elliot fell silent again when he realized. "Oh, yeah, right. The Rodriguez family." He muttered almost inaudibly. He couldn't possibly forget the family name that was famous all over the world.Elliot had heard a lot about the Rodriguez family. A family that is famous for being extraordinary and very secretive. Even because of that, Elliot did not realize that the old man he saved earlier was Markus Rodriguez.Even so, Elliot still could not believe it completely. He looked at Markus with a suspicious face. "But, am I really your grandson? You could be making it up to trick me."Elliot was wary of every bad possibility that might happen because he didn't want the events of a few month

The white-haired man exhaled, turning his gaze towards the River. "I know all about you."Hearing that made Elliot frown even more deeply. "How do you know that?" Elliot paused, thinking that the old man before him was a bad person. "You're a stalker?"Marcus shook his head. "No, Elliot."Elliot's face showed even more confusion. He even wondered to himself, how did the old man know his name, when they had just met.Elliot's pupils widened as a terrible thought crossed his mind. "Are you a depkolektor?" That was his first thought.He thought that the old man in front of him was a depkolektor from an online loan application that had to be reimbursed many times, but he had never borrowed money from any bank.Elliot shook his head in a low voice. "I never borrowed money at all."Elliot wondered if it could be Hani who borrowed the money? If so, it would be a very hard thing for him. Who knows how many debts he had to pay off. Just thinking about it made her head feel like it was going to
