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

The whole family were stunned Derek was finally speaking up, even Brenda wasn't left out of the surprise.On the other hand, Morphie felt embarrassed that Derek had said such a nasty thing towards him before Sophia.Left to him, he would have retaliated, but he was still in the mood of acting cool to get Sophia therefore, he said nothing.The only thing left which he tried to do was to defend himself, but he couldn’t find a good argument. Eventually, he gave up.They had lost in this meeting, they had all lost. The only winners were Brenda and Derek.Morphie felt terribly indignant. ‘My reputation in the Reid family has already been ruined. There is no way of salvaging it.’Derek left with his wife, along with the money. He glanced at Brenda and repeated. “All those things that should belong to you. I won’t let anyone else have them.”She shot her husband a meaningful glance. She wondered what had come over him in the recent time and he was suddenly agitated to protect her.Several ti

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

Kaleen walked over and sat down quietly. He didn’t immediately start speaking ill of Derek; he merely listened to their conversation carefully.All he wanted to do was pick out faults in his speech. Once he did, he’d definitely put him in his place.However, what annoyed Kaleen was that Derek had made no mistakes. As much as he tried, he couldn’t pick out any faults in him.At that moment, Sylvester had loosened up speaking to Derek inclusive and when George came around, he added more colors to the conversation.Kaleen felt totally out of place. What irritated him the most was that he had tried to join the conversation when they had started talking about something that interested him too.However, they had simply ignored himIn fact, Sylvester and George had explicitly told her to keep quiet and simply listen if he found it difficult to understand what they were talking about.He was rendered speechless, and words failed to describe his emotions.Finally, the conversation came to an

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

Upon their entry into the Reid residence, Mr Faymour received the shock of his life."Derek or whatever you call his name isn't a member of this house. Leave right now!" Mrs Reid yelled out in anger. Regardless of the yells, Mr Faymour turned back to inquiry in fear. "Mrs Reid, please where can we get him? Where does he stay? It's very urgent we meet him tonight?" "Are you deaf! Can't you understand!" Mrs Reid yelled out.Immediately, George, Mr Faymour and Kaleen were quite confused on what to do. Their earnest search had been in vain and they feared that if they ended up postponing their apology to the following day, it's possible their family would end in ruin.From what George had personally witnessed, he wasn't going to abide by the decision of leaving it out to the following day."Dad, let's go. I told you this guy is a piece of frek, there is absolutely nothing important about him." Kaleen interrupted the search which earned him a deafening slap from George once more.George

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

The moment Clarine got home, an anonymous number messaged her.She got confused on the spot after reading the few initial lines of the message which spoke. "If you love your friend, then save her from a toxic husband."Clarine didn't understand what it meant, until another message did come in as a whole file.Inquisitively, Clarine had opened it only to discover the shock of her life.She was too fragile to hold the news back to herself either. However immediately, she had called Derek's line hoping that whatever she saw was actually an error.Unfortunately, the lines weren't going through as Brenda had complained earlier too.When she linked all together, it was too difficult to doubt that Derek really was innocent. Clarine couldn't hold it back to herself. She felt it would be bad and she would be a betrayal if later Brenda got to discover the information from another source. Yet she was skeptical about telling her friend. She paused, paced her room severely with tension visibly wr

W-what’s going on?The ten-odd bodyguards who barged in glared at Derek like he was a great enemy.On the ground, Perry gritted his teeth resentfully as he struggled to raise his head to look at the bodyguards and ordered, “Kill… kill him!”The punch Derek threw at his abdomen left Perry in so much pain that he was on the verge of throwing up all the food he had eaten for the past few days. The slightest movement made him feel intense pain in his stomach.For the past few decades of his life, Perry had never been beaten up like this or suffered such a huge loss before!If Derek could still leave Perry ’s turf under the siege of so many bodyguards, Perry would be thoroughly embarrassed!The ten-odd bodyguards and Perry ’s personal bodyguard acknowledged and immediately surrounded Derek.Derek smiled coldly and raised his leg to kick the bald bodyguard who rushed in front of him, sending him flying!“Ah!” The bald bodyguard let out a miserable cry as his body was propelled upward be

“No!” Perry refused resolutely. “This isn’t a small business. We’ve monopolised it in Dominican! If I recommend some clients to you, won’t I be giving my family a competitor for no reason?”Derek shook his head. “I naturally won’t run this business in Dominican and become your competitor.”After giving it some thought, Perry still didn’t believe Derek. “Your roots are all in Dominican. Why should I believe that you would leave this place and go elsewhere to run this business.”Derek shrugged. “It’s up to you to believe me or not. Mr. Perry, please get your facts right. I’m doing you a favour by asking you to recommend clients to me. To put it bluntly, the Bathhouse is in my hands now, and so are those beautiful women. Even if I take over the business directly now, what can you do for me?”Derek's words made Perry’s face turn gloomy again.But this was really what the current situation was like. Since that bastard manager had presumptuously sold the Bathhouse, Derek was the dominant p
CHAPTER 291
Perry’s face was naturally extremely gloomy at this point.Derek was clearly trying to intimidate him!It was just an ordinary dice, but the power that emerged from Derek’s hand when he threw it was not inferior to the power contained in a bullet shot from a gun!Besides, the dice Derek shot had landed near Perry’s head. If Derek had intended to kill Perry, he would have probably been shot in the head by now!At the thought of this, Perry felt his entire body’s hair stand on end, and cold sweat rapidly seeped out of his pores, making him chilly all over.And Perry’s elite bodyguard was also overwhelmed with shock.As a bodyguard, he should protect his employer’s safety in any emergency situation.But the speed of the dice Derek shot out just now was so quick that it wasn’t visible to the naked eye. In fact, he only figured out what happened after hearing the terse and sharp sound of the dice shuttling through the air, followed by the loud bang.He couldn’t even react in time, let alon

When Perry saw how bold and fearless Derek was, his facial muscles twitched a little as he gritted his teeth with great resentment and viciousness in his eyes.With a hypocritical grin, he said, “Hehe, why would I do that? Since I invited you here, I naturally have something to discuss with you.”He thought he had hidden his intentions well. But being a sharp and shrewd person, Derek had long seen through Perry.“Mr. Perry, don’t beat around the bush with me. If you have anything to say, just say it.” Derek couldn’t be bothered to exchange hypocritical pleasantries with him. He simply leaned against the couch and got straight to the point.Seeing Derek taking the lead in the conversation, Perry was displeased, and his face immediately turned dark.He waved his hand, and the few scantily clad beauties sitting beside him immediately walked out of the room.Soon, only Derek, Perry, and a burly man who followed Perry wherever he went were the only ones left in the large private room.Dere

Derek frowned.He didn’t expect Aiden to die despite being in police custody.But there were definitely potential loopholes everywhere. If it was really the doing of the force that Derek guessed, the police would likely be defenceless and unable to guard against their actions.But Aiden’s death was not in vain. At the very least, Derek was now certain that the mastermind who instigated Aiden was more likely than not same person who sent the photographer.Otherwise, Aiden wouldn’t have died so easily.“Okay, I know.”Derek was about to hang up the phone when he noticed in the rearview mirror that there were several inconspicuous cars tailing his car. Their intentions were unclear, but he knew that they had to be up to no good.He frowned. They’re really everywhere. How annoying!He wondered who sent these people to tail him.With a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, Derek hung up the phone and quickly made another call. “Come to Clarine's apartment, I will send you an address.”Der
CHAPTER 288
Derek couldn't tell who it was yet, but he knew he would find out.With a sharp and cold gaze in his eyes, Derek raised his head and looked distantly in the direction of the DC. “Hmph, I don’t care who you really are. As long as you dare to reach your hand here, I don’t mind chopping it off!”When Derek reached the amusement park entrance, he saw Clarine waiting here for him worriedly.“Derek, did you get what you went for? Did you find everything?” she asked curiously.Derek raised his arm with two paper bags and said with a faint smile, “I got them. Fortunately, there was no queue.Clarine grinned and teased, “It turns out you really are caring.”Derek smiled. He merely nodded and said, “Yeah, so you have to be like me as well. In the meantime, it's getting late, let's go home.”Clarine nodded happily. Soon, the two of them got into Lucas’s car and sped off.…At this moment, in a luxurious villa in Dominican.A young man in his twenties was reclining on a soft leather sofa with a s
CHAPTER 287
Derek was still trying to figure out who it was, but then he scurried away quickly. But after covering only a short distance, he discovered that a tall and phantom-like figure had appeared in front of him to block him from leaving.“Still trying to run, huh?”The young man was flabbergasted because the person in front of him was the same person he had been secretly snapping photos of!A few seconds ago, this person was clearly more than meters behind him, yet he was standing in front of him in the blink of an eye. How did he do it?!Having been discovered and even stopped by the person he was secretly snapping photos of, the young man got a little nervous and gritted his teeth. He then barked in a menacing voice, “Why are you stopping me? Get lost!”Derek sneered and pointed at the camera the young man was holding. He asked indifferently, “You’ve been tailing me all afternoon, so you must have taken a lot of pictures, right? Did you think no one could discover you when you’re so clums
CHAPTER 286
In fact, Derek could have chosen not to catch Aiden and let him fall to his death just now, as he ought to reap what he sowed.But the words Aiden said earlier made Derek suspect that someone was instigating him. So Derek caught him and allowed him to stay alive to interrogate him and find out more from him.But the matter of Aiden taking Clarinet hostage and trying to jump off the building with her had alarmed almost all the police systems in the city. Many reporters had also hurried over with their cameras and equipment to get the first hand news scoop.In such a situation, Derek naturally couldn’t interrogate Aiden personally. He simply handed Aiden over to the special police officers for them to investigate.The chief special police officer nodded and instructed his subordinates to send Aiden to the hospital. After Aiden came to, they would bring him in for interrogation immediately.Of course, as the parties involved in the incident, Derek and Clarine had to make a mandatory trip
CHAPTER 285
Clarine watched as Derek vanished from the edge of the roof and screamed at the top of her lungs uncontrollably, “Derek!”Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she started bawling loudly, feeling as if her heart was being stabbed by daggers.In contrast, Aiden laughed out loud in great excitement. “Hahaha! What a dimwit. I managed to kill him so easily! I’m going to get rich again soon. Hahaha!”The police on the rooftop of the building couldn’t stop Derek in time and could only watch as he jumped off the building. They all shouted in horror and regret.At the same time, the crowd of onlookers on the ground also shrieked loudly in amazement.When Aiden heard the commotion at the bottom of the building, he guffawed hysterically with great smugness. Then he grabbed Clarine by the collar and looked at the ground to admire the scene of Derek’s badly mangled flesh after he fell off the building.Suddenly, there was a major change!A pair of hands suddenly reached over from the
