No sooner had Morphie said those words than Derek glared at her with a piercing gaze.However, for the first time in several years, he took Morphie by the arm and demanded. “Apologize!”Morphie was terrified and as well confused with Derek's sudden voice change, but he was never going to bow down and apologize to her. His younger sister at that. Even if it were not her, and it were Derek, he was never going to apologize either.It spoke less of him and definitely belittled his status, he said to himself.“Derek, who are you? Why should I listen to you? Besides, I might very well be right. Look at how badly your wife was beaten up. Do you think she’d have been beaten up if she didn’t do anything wrong?” Morphie thought he was being logical and rational, yet what he got in return was a fist from Derek that struck him straight in the nose.Fresh blood oozed out.He wiped away the blood from her nose, and railed at him. “What’s wrong with you? You’re going to pay for this damage you've

Morphie smiled and consented to the idea immediately, while everyone’s eyes shot toward Derek. They all wanted to know what he would choose to do. ‘Will he agree to let Sophia make the decision, or will he refuse? If that happens, it’s unlikely for us to come to a decision by today.’Then there was just another question raised by Damon. "I guess we should suspend this notice till further notice. Considering the fact that we haven't reached out to the vice chairman beforehand. Don't you think she might be too busy to honor the invitation. Even if she does, would she accept coming here?"Morphie however smiled to himself. 'If only they all knew my stand with Sophia, none of them would dare to speak thrash, even Derek himself.'"There is no harm in trying first. Let's see what she would say then we would know what next. But I'm quite certain she would honor our invitation." Morphie couldn't help it, he just wanted to brag about how important he thought he was to others.On the other han

Kaleen frowned. “Sylvester, why have you called him over? Why call his wife inclusive? You might not know that he has no great reputation and shouldn't be found by someone as reputable as you are."Sylvester frowned as she listened to his best friend. ill speech about Derek. .Deep down, Sylvester was quite regretful for supporting the act of chess against Detek, but his friend was in no way sorry.However, Kaleen hadn’t noticed that. He went on forming lies on things he should have done that he didn't put in place and made the game favor Derek instead.Sylvester was surprised to hear such from him. Why won't he just accept the fact that he lost to Derek? He thought to himself.Personally, he had no problem with Derek, except for the fact that he needed Brenda and he wanted Derek out of it.“You should have heard Derek. You got to know he plays chess, then you should know he is the husband of the only daughter of the Reid family. He is just a nonentity and a disgrace to males." Kale

Intimidated?" Many people said, Just now many people were ready to defend her and here was Kaleen standing saying she felt intimidated.That didn't catch the attention of anyone, everyone wanted to know why she had put up such fuss. They wondered if they had suddenly taken justice into their hands and had handed Derek over to the cops immediately, then would have come of the innocent man?Nobody would’ve thought much of Kaleen if he had remained silent, yet he had chosen to speak up. Right then, George, Sylvester , and Derek seemed to have understood what was going on..Kaleen felt a chill run down his spine as the trio glared at her. ‘Could they have seen through my ploy? But that’s impossible.’George turned to Enid and lectured her. “Young lady, this isn’t a big deal, but it’s no small matter either. If I find out that you were maligning him, I’ll strip you naked and throw you out on the streets. You won’t even be able to do anything about that. Of course, I’m fair and just. If yo

Right at that moment, Derek thought of meeting his wife and sharing some romantic moments with her after a very long and exhausting day.In addition, he thought to get her a gift, a romantic one at that. A huge surprise to ignite their youthful love.However, the moment he walked a little far away from Brighten Gale, he heard a voice call behind him.The feminine attractive voice sent cold chills down his spine. It sounded so familiar, inquisitively, Derek turned around to know who it was.To his greatest amazement, it was Autumn. As usual, she looked young, dressed in a wine silk gown, slit to the kneel with a decorative rose made out of crinoline stuck to her front line.Every young guy would fall for her seductive and innocent looks. If only she was the way she looked, how good would it have been? Derek thought to himself at first admiration.He hurriedly snapped out of his thoughts and drew his brows together wondering what she was doing around such a place."Surprised to see me
