Andrew pondered for a moment and soon recalled what Allen had told him before. He sneered. “Are you referring to the Hemsworth?”Derek smiled and nodded. “Yes, for the records I know you are quite a doubtful being, so I implore you to check the authenticity of my report."Andrew snorted coldly. “Are you trying to tell me that the Hemsworth offended you? Let me tell you. If you want to threaten me with this matter, you’ve made the wrong plan!""Bad for you, you could have sought for something else to cajole me instead of this terrible lie.""But then, you might have collected our properties, made us sign but then, you wouldn't see the last of us."“I know that what happened to the Hemsworth that day was just a coincidence! You are just a good-for-nothing son in law who makes a lot of mouth without actions.""If the Reids had not disowned you, you would still be living within their capacity. Ours happened because we were gullible too, but then, we wouldn't slave to you Derek. Never!""I
Spike's horrified expression remained on his face just as he was about to leap over and protect Derek. He discovered to his astonishment that Derek, who was just standing near him, had suddenly vanished!Immediately afterward, Spike felt a force tugging at his collar. His body couldn’t help but propel into the air as the scene in front of him began to spin and become blurry.The several pistols fired at the same time with gunshots that resembled the sounds of beans exploding. All of a sudden, the space at the entrance of the justins residence was awash with the sounds of gunshots, making people’s hearts palpitate.But when the sound of the gunshots stopped, everyone looked over at the entrance, only to see Derek and his men, who should have been unable to escape, standing right there unscathed!Derek still looked as composed as ever. But Spike, whom he was lifting by the collar, had an indescribable look of astonishment on his face.The Justins looked at each other and blinked, dumbfo
After seeing Andrew kneeling in front of Derek and begging him for mercy, the Justin's were even more horrified as they frantically followed suit and knelt behind Andrew. They started begging Derek for mercy and pleading with him to spare them.Derek stared at the people in front of him coldly without any pity.He had already given the Justin's too many chances, over and over again.. But unfortunately, they had thrown those chances away. They had even sent Spike and the gunmen to kill him.If not for the fact that Derek was powerful and strong enough, he would have definitely been nabbed by the Justin's now.If he was weak, the Justin's definitely wouldn’t have let him off!At this moment, a few more people hurriedly came to the entrance of the Justin residence.When they saw the scene at the entrance, they were stunned for a moment.All the Justin's were kneeling on the ground while around several gunmen were lying on the ground and wailing with blood seeping out of their eyes.Howe
After paying, they received two platinum membership cards at the cost of slightly over two hundred thousand dollars, which was deducted from Derek’s cards.After being led to the top floor by the usher, Derek dismissed him and walked forward with Brenda.Brenda felt the pinch of spending more than two hundred thousand dollars on the two platinum membership cards. “The membership cards are too expensive. We could have looked for some other ways to get the cards. It’s not worth it to spend so much money on a membership card.”Derek smiled faintly. “It’s faster to get the membership this way, and it’ll allow us to find Clarine sooner. Moreover, she is more than a friend, Clarine is now family."There were rows of exquisitely crafted masks hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, which were prepared for guests who wanted to play in the poker room but wished to keep their identity concealed.Derek took a random mask from the wall and put it on his face. The mask was enough to co
The chubby man had a look of certainty on his face, and he even tried to reach out to pull Brenda toward him so that he could grope her.So far, he had realized how obsessed Clarine was with the game, and had thought that it would be good if he made a good offer to cajole her into it the more.So after speaking, he treated Brenda as his property and reached out to violate her.“Get lost! Who gave you permission to touch my friend with that dirty hand of yours?” Clarine sprung up and hollered furiously before smacking the chubby man’s hand away. She then moved Brenda behind herself to shield her.“She’s my friend, not a promiscuous plaything. If anyone dares to touch her, I’ll go all out!”Not only was the chubby man bewildered by Clarine’s actions, but even Derek, who was standing near them and observing, was surprised. He was yet to comprehend what came over her, but then he couldn't care to think about how wild she had to become when the matter concerned her friend.It seemed that
Flashback.Clarine had just gotten home after the meal at Brenda's home that evening.With smiles and gleaming brilliant expressions flashing across those blue sea eyeballs of hers. She obviously made the best out of her day, even though it was quite hectic considering the disturbance from several angles yet, she could regard it as great.However, the smiles and excitement on her was never going to last.The moment Clarine stepped into the living room, she was surprised to see both parents seated. However, she was only about to greet and walk past them when she suddenly spotted a different person in their midst.Darting her eyes from side to side, her gaze suddenly fell on a man suited In blue bespoke suit, his black blond hair with visible stripes of Grey brushed forward.He seemed in his late fourties.The brief moment she admired him and was about to walk away, only hear a feminine voice call from behind."Clarine, come over. We've got good news for you." Cassandra said, after which
“Clarine! What… what are you talking about?!” When Brenda heard her Clarine actually use her as collateral for a million dollars worth of chips, her eyes widened, and she looked at Clarine in disbelief.Standing beside Brenda, Ava also widened her eyes in shock and exclaimed in astonishment, “Clarine, Brenda is your friend! How can you put her up as collateral and use her as a gambling stake?”Derek’s face, hidden beneath the mask, had become completely gloomy and sullen. He glared at Clarine coldly. “Are you sure you’re going to put your friend up as collateral to me? If I win, she will be mine. I will take her away, and regardless of what happens to her in the future, you will have no right to ask any questions!“In that case, do you still agree to use her as collateral?”Derek’s voice was extremely cold, and it even contained some murderous intent that he was unable to hide!“Clarine, stop… stop gambling. Come home with me, okay?” Brenda asked while looking at Clarine with tears an
Derek’s voice was extraordinarily cold, especially when he glanced at Clarine. This lady really lost Brenda to a man. she really deserves to die!Unfortunately, at this moment, Clarine’s eyes were out of focus, and she had a deadpan expression as she stood rooted to the ground, as if she was out of his element and dispirited. To her, it seemed as though she was a failure and had betrayed her best friend. And if it meant giving her life just to get her back, she was ready to do that.She didn’t catch Derek’s murderous gaze at all, nor did she respond to Derek’s act of holding Brenda by her waist.Suddenly, Ava violently pushed away Derek’s arm, stood in front of Brenda, and yelled at him, “Let go of her!”Derek looked at her and narrowed his eyes. “Shut up. This matter is none of your business. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being nasty right here..”Ava could feel the intense words emanating from Derek's tone. It got her shivering on the spot, hence she said in a soft tone. "What wou
