The day for the hearing kept drawing near. Derek anxiety increased even though Gage kept assuring that everything was fine.Evidence was in place, the only thing left was getting a very good lawyer who could defend Derek in law court.Gage paced nervously in his apartment, thinking of a good lawyer who could fit in, then he remembered his friend Taylor.He reached for his phone immediately and then he dialed Taylor's number on his cell phone. After a few rings, Taylor picked up."Hey, Gage! What's up?" Taylor asked on a mutual ground."Hey, man. Listen, I need your help again.""Wow, you'd definitely pay for my services, it's not free you know."Definitely… I would go straight to the point. You remember my friend's son who is in a lot of trouble..!""The one mentioned on TV?" "Yea, sure. He has a hearing in three days and then needs a good lawyer," Gage said urgently."Wow, that…. Kinda difficult. But of course, what are friend's for?""Gage. I'll do what I can. Can you give me some
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 182
Esteban Solano was led out of the courthouse in handcuffs, surrounded by police officers. He wore a blank expression on his face as he made his way through the throngs of reporters and onlookers, but as he passed by Derek, he paused and flashed a sinister smile."Watch out for my comeback," he hissed at Derek, before being pushed forward by the officers.Derek smiled, although the threats in Esteban's words were clear. But it deserved no other thing but a smile from him. Only if Esteban knew whom he messed with, he'd definitely have backed down long before then, and maybe he would never have raised a lawsuit against Gary.However, he watched the corps bundle Esteban into the vehicle."Derek," a voice called to him from behind. And turning around to catch a glimpse, it turned out to be Brenda."Derek, I'm happy for you. I'm really glad you won against the Solanoes. They are one big family in this country with difficulty.""Difficulty?!" Derek behaved as though he knew nothing."Yes of

In a short while after weeping profusely, Brenda descended the stairs with reddened eyes.Fortunately, she realized Derek wasn't below if not he would have questioned her as regards her next step. Brenda left home immediately, and then she strolled aimlessly on the streets. Actually, she didn’t know where she was going. She simply didn’t want to continue staying in that house, she wanted to breathe in fresh air unlike the air within her home.Then she recalled that she could call her best friend, Clarine, but when she thought of what her mother had done, she found it hard to talk about it.Could she tell her friend that her own mother had intentions to sell her out to richen, or the fact that she actually tried to imprison Derek just to get that.Clarine knew of several negative escapades, but Brenda was suddenly shy to talk about this. She found it hard to say a word as regards it.While wandering around, Brenda saw a bar called the Cocktail Bar down the street and suddenly felt a s

Initially, when Derek ordered Gage to protect Brenda, he never meant once, he meant always.Hence, Gage had placed one of his men, Massimo in charge of her safety. The moment his device had detected her leaving her house without a vehicle, with a down expression, at that time of the day. Massimo therefore took the initiative to follow up only to find her walking into a bar, all alone.He was curious, but leaned back to watch, then he witnessed all the drama Liam had performed, and fortunately, he had seen him spike her drink.Just the same thing Micheal Solano wanted to achieve with her. However, Massimo knew he shouldn't sleep over the issue, as Derek would be et take it lightly if anything happened to her.Brenda was elated to hear that the burly man named Massimo was there to protect her.However, not with what Liam did, she was now also extremely cautious and didn’t dare to trust any stranger easily. She asked apprehensively, “Who gave you the mandate of protecting me?”Massimo
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 185
It should be known that Brenda did pester Massimo while he took her home. After a lot of persuasion, he had no choice than to mention Mr B."Ma'am, I am in no place to tell you the identity of my boss, but if you deem it fit to know. I'll reveal to you that he is Mr B.""Mr B?""Yes Mr B." That name rang familiar in her brain. She felt a cord of familiarity strike, hut she couldn't point out where or who the familiar person was."I'll take my leave first." Massimo left the moment he was sure that she was safe in her home. At the same time, he has instantly gotten across to Derek about the recent development.Immediately, Derek dashed out of his room, and then as told, he saw her entering.He had questioned her and she had promised not to repeat the same action of drinking out late and alone. He turned to the opposite side, and she did turn to the opposite side. However, she suddenly stopped on her track when realization dawned on her that Derek actually bore the name Brook.She fel

“Mr. Justin, have you ever heard of the Emerald Group?” Brenda didn’t answer Raphael directly and instead asked this question.Raphael nodded. “I’ve naturally heard of the famous Emerald Group. After all, its market value and influence are ranked at the top among the well-known enterprises in Dominican Besides, the Group has the support of a powerful family in Dominican and beyond and their power can’t be underestimated. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the Emerald Group is the most influential company in Dominican."Raphael never said how he had been rejected by them, so as to protect his dignity before BrendaBrenda smiled. “Mr. Justin, since you know how powerful the Emerald Group is, do you know that the Fera Textile is about to reach a long-term strategic partnership with them, which will begin in the near future?"“Besides, the Fera Textile is also in preparation to sign various business contracts with the Orland Corporation belonging to Ethan, the richest man in Pa

"Research of course. He's been clinging around you all this while, so I thought it necessary to do a background check, and I got all of this information." "Please flee from him Brenda, he is devilish."At that point, Brenda had no other choice but to listen to o him. She knew he would never say If it weren't true.Both of them decided to have a meal outside and a few discussions before going in.Derek had decided that he wasn't going to sleep over at her place, therefore he wanted to spend his time with her efficiently.Finally, when they were done with everything, they had to leave, but something else happened. Derek stepped on the gas first, he noticed the vehicle didn't move.The duo looked surprised, they had just parked the vehicle there a few hours ago, and now it seemed difficult to wheel off."What's happening?" Brenda asked him. But then Derek got off the vehicle, to check through, only then did he realise that all four tyres had been punctured.Brenda also got off the car w

Brenda was at the brink of surprise, even though Derek had captured her, and she could say he was alive, she was still surprised.She couldn't tell where all those people had suddenly come from, and now was Derek carrying her in his arm. "Derek, put me down! What if people get to see us? What do you think they will say?"Well, instead of yielding, Derek said instead. "Let anyone say whatever they would say, but as long as I'm not carrying a stranger, but my wife, then I'm okay with it." Brenda couldn't withhold the expression of shock from herself. Derek did sound possessive, but then he face was speechless, it said nothing as though he never said a word.She couldn't resist him, hence she allowed him to carry her all the way home.The moment they got home, he placed her down and affirmed authoritatively."Go have a wash, take dinner and retire to bed immediately." She was about to ask him if he wouldn't be leaving for his house, but with what happened, she wished he wouldn't leave e

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
