Derek clocked his head sideways repeatedly, trying to be sure if he was the one those questions were directed to.

"Who? Me?!"

"Yes Derek, who are you? You just came out of the blues and even the great Solano is bowing to you. Isn't that suspicious enough?"

Derek instead smiled, he remembered his wife frowns whenever she was angry and here she was with the same frown all over again, just like she usually did.

At that point, she was desperate for an answer.

Hearing her words, Derek smiled and looked at her tenderly.

"I'm just an ordinary man like you know from scratch dear, only my personality and the way I speak to people definitely changed." Brenda still squinted her brow in disbelief.

"You know I won't believe that right?" she rested on her chin and said. "What about your presence in the Emerald group? And the Reid group which you seized?"

Derek gulped, he couldn't allow her to discover anything yet, therefore he took her hands in his and said. "Babe, I do have a friend in Emerald,

    "Esteban, I..." Emilio trailed off, unsure of what to say.Esteban spoke first, his voice low and strained. "Why did you lie to me, Emilio? Why did you pretend to be my father all these years?"Esteban’s words made Emilio take a few steps back in astonishment, almost falling onto the ground.Emilio stared in shock and horror while pointing at Esteban Solano, his fingers trembling violently, barely able to utter a complete sentence.“You… you…”My plans and thoughts have been seen through by this scumbag?!“You, get lost! Get out of my house immediately! I will never hand over the family assets to a bastard like you!” Emilio hollered while pointing at the door.“Its too late.” Esteban didn’t move at all. Instead, he smiled even more joyously. “I didn’t want to take action so soon at first, but you forced me into this.”Hearing his words, Emilio acutely sensed danger. “What do you mean?”Esteban smiled and clapped his hands.

    "Young master,, I got some information as regards the murder you were asking about…. The Solanoes." Gage finally said, his voice tense and urgent.Derek sat up straight, surprised. "Really? What kind of information?" His voice went low while Derek carefully listened.In a short while, Derek's eyebrows shot up in disbelief. "Are you serious? Do you know who they were working for?""Not yet, young master, but I should get to know in due time." Gage assured firmly."Alright then, I will expect it ASAP." With that, he hung the call.Derek sat there for a moment, letting the information sink in. He couldn't believe his new discovery. Nevertheless, he took his things, gulped down his drink and headed out of the restaurant immediately.On the other hand, the whole city, and a cross were very worried as to how three prominent personalities in the Solano family had ended up dying just like her.

    The following day, Brenda got to the office but all of a sudden everything seemed different. Many of her employees were not in their work space, everywhere seemed empty and deserted.However, she was about to ransack her bag to bring out her phone in fury, when her assistant walked up to her."Miss Reid! Miss Reid! Ma'am!" she called from behind.Brenda turned around with multiple creases lined across her brow while she wondered. Upon seeing her assistant, she was about to yell."Common Armstrong, tell me why are you guys not in your work positions? This is early morning not lunch hour. Now if you all do not want me deducting from your salaries, I bet you'd return to your work point immediately.""Yes ma'am, we will b…""Better, you had better do that right now." She said cutting her assistant midway after which she turned around."Miss Reid, we have a meeting." Brenda stopped on her tracks immediately."A meeting! I do not have one scheduled for today.""Miss Reid, I really don't kn

    Brenda’s promotion to the director of the Fera Textile soon spread throughout the city and of course wide in Dominican, since Fera isn't a small company.Previously, the Fera Textile became the company that many wanted to cooperate with because of its popularity in the industry.Thus, the new director of the Fera Textile would naturally attract a ton of attention.Moreover, Brenda was still in shock of the sudden transformation. Truth be told, for the last three years she had headed the place without setting an eye on the person who had interviewed her the day she went for the job. She only received mail from him once in a while also, and anytime she asked him about his return, he would only cover up the discussion with something else, until that present moment when she finally received strange visitors who claimed to have been sent by the man with the authority to make her the new director.On the other hand, when the Reids heard about it, they got very furious and shocked.“I nev

    Seeing Morphie’s sudden rage, the workers remained silent and began to leave awkwardly. After that had all left, Mrs Reid followed."You know how best to handle this matter, and if you don't, then go to hell." Those were her last words before she left.However, when she was no longer nearby, Morphie fummed in anger, he almost broke down emotionally.While he remained in the empty hall, his assistant suddenly came around."Boss, don't worry if everyone do not see you as a director anymore. I definitely hold you in high esteem and I value you." Alice said. She also stuck to his side because sge had a crush on him but he was yet to notice her.Morphie broke free from her and yelled, “Just get off. What are you insinuating? That I apologize to that bitchy sister? And soil my pride! Does anyone really care about me at all?"Morphie’s eyes were red. Making him apologize to Brenda was akin to stepping on his dignity. It was a massive insult!Feeling heartbroken, she looked at Morphie, the

    "I guess this guy is up to something," Derek said after which he went to the door, and Morphie came in with a disdainful look.Seeing Morphie walk in, Brenda looked at him with indifference and disgust, and no one said anything.Morphie chuckled. He walked toward Brenda and handed over the gift box he was carrying. “Brenda, this is a bracelet that I specially bought. It happens to suit you, so I’m here to deliver it to you. I hope you’ll like it.”Brenda squinted her brows and said. "You know I don't use jewelries, and even if I do, what's with the sudden gesture?"Feeling as though his chest had been stabbed, he gritted his teeth, trying to figure out what to say and then he quickly said, “Yes, I also happened to hear the good news, so I’m here to congratulate Brenda!”Brenda humphed coldly, not believing that Morphie was genuinely happy for her.As expected, Morphie added, “I’m also here to relay mom's goodwill. She would like to have you guys return to the Reids. The large family vi

    Derek's question was a very meaningful and direct question that got Brenda thinking. "I have never seen him go this length just to beg for a favor from me Derek? What if they really are sincere? What if he is telling the truth? I mean their business is falling apart, and I don't think there will be any reason as to why he should tell lies just to gain my trust, it's absolutely impossible." Brenda said, but on the other hand, Derek merely smiled. "They are my family Derek, and families are always important, don't you think so?"With a half filled mouth, Derek paused his meal and said. "Of course, family is very important, family comes first, and family shouldn't be forgotten, but then what comes from a family who only comes humble when they need your help but desert you and make sure you get frustrated when you are in trouble. That isn't the goal of the family.""Families don't quit." Derek ended his words, and with a slight sigh, Brenda leaned back into her seat and said. "What the

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
