“Ah!”Tony’s sudden outrage and accusation of Derek cheating really caught Brenda and Ava off guard, and they shrieked.But Derek wasn’t surprised.He had long seen that people like Tony were the kind of people who couldn’t afford to lose.It was his turf in the first place, and he was accompanied by a lot of his henchmen and subordinates. Even if he refused to comply and admit defeat, no one would dare to say anything.Unfortunately, Derek wasn’t the type to be frightened by a tiny pistol.“Heh.” Derek suddenly chuckled when he thought of something.This was one of the few times a gun had been pointed at him in the short period of time since he returned to Dominican.Now, in front of him, Tony also dared to aim a gun at him.“Hmph, you can still laugh out loud even when being held at gunpoint. I have to admit that I really admire your courage.”Tony held the pistol and pointed it at Derek’s head with a triumphant expression, as if he was already confident of winning. He was relishing
Derek’s words were like a boulder thrown into a lake.Stunned by his words, they looked at each other and were at a loss for how to react.As the person Derek was pointing his finger at, Tony nearly exploded with rage!“Bastard! I think you’re tired of living! Damn it. I wanted to give you a chance and groom you because you’re quite capable, but since you don’t know any better, go to hell!”Then his finger moved on the trigger, ready to shoot Derek!Suddenly, a cold and sharp blade was pressed against Tony’s neck.“Stop, don’t move.” A deep but familiar voice rang beside Tony’s ear.As expected, Tony didn’t dare to move. As someone who had been involved with gangs for years, he could tell just from the feeling of the cold and sharp blade being pressed against the artery of his neck that it must be an extremely sharp dagger!He could even sense the chilliness coming from the blade. It was as if the dagger would slit his throat as long as he breathed a little harder!Now, Tony didn’t eve
All of Tony’s underlings looked at the dice stuck in the wall with astonishment all over their faces. Seeing that the dice had pierced through Tony’s wrist and bore a hole in it, they huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe.Blade reacted very quickly. After seeing that Tony had been subdued by a tiny dice that Derek threw, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the dagger with resentment in his eyes, and then ruthlessly and accurately slashed Tony’s wrist!“Waahhh!” Tony shrieked miserably as his entire right hand was severed by the sharp dagger!His severed hand fell to the ground, and fresh blood immediately gushed out of his wrist. There was instantly a pool of blood.The underlings began shuddering in fear, feeling intimidated by Blade’s ruthlessness.Due to the intense and excruciating pain in his wrist, Tony’s eyes rolled backwards uncontrollably, and he passed out in pain.But his miserable shriek had already penetrated through the walls of the room and spread outside.The p
Blade was instantly on cloud nine. Derek’s words meant that he would officially become the person in charge of Small Bean Bar.The series of events that happened in Small Bean Bar today had once again proven Derek’s absolute strength and power!Blade had always been a clear-headed person who was good at analyzing the pros and cons of every matter. He was certain that as long as he was subordinate to Derek, his future achievements would definitely be far beyond Small Bean Bar!On the other hand, among the people standing at the corner, there were some who didn’t agree with Derek and simply sneered at him contemptuously.A bearded middle-aged man walked out from the crowd and shouted, “Punk, I don’t know who you are, but Tony is still the owner of Small Bean Bar! He isn’t dead yet. Who are you to appoint a new owner?”Jeff Colby a powerful figure in Small Bean Bar who was second only to Tony.Jeff was not actually that loyal to Tony. But rather, he was incredibly displeased with the fac
As soon as Derek walked out, a slender figure suddenly leaped into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.With a trace of shock on his face, Derek gaped a little, dumbfounded for a moment.He never expected that Brenda would leap into his embrace and hug him tightly in front of everyone!After being dumbfounded for a while, Derek finally snapped back to his senses. His heart was full of joy and sweetness.He reached his hands out and gently put them around Brenda’s waist while patting her back comfortingly.He could find Clarine with an apologetic look, on the other hand, after Ava saw what Brenda was doing, she was even more certain that Brenda’s relationship with him was extraordinary, unlike what she had thought previously.Is he the one people always regarded as the loser son in law? Ava thought to herself.The people around were still surrounding Derek. Many of them wanted to ask him what happened in the room and who the final winner of the gamble was, which was their greatest co
Upon hearing Ava’s question, Derek shook his head while driving. “I won’t do anything for him, of course. They had a minor internal conflict just now, and it escalated into a scuffle, so I came out.”Ava nodded. “That sounds much more plausible. That scoundrel Tony Zander gets up to heinous misdeeds all day, so you mustn’t work for him. Evildoers will never end up well! But you must have offended him by running away just like that, right? Why don’t I put in a good word for you in front of my dad and ask him to help you?”Ava raised her chin arrogantly, as if to say, ‘Quick, come beg me, and I’ll help you talk to my dad’. She should have looked obnoxious, but she surprisingly didn’t seem detestable when doing this. Derek just found her eccentric."Your dad?" Derek said in surprise."Yes, my dad. Mr Colby. A very important person in society.""One word from him is enough." Ava insisted.However, Derek smiled to himself and thought. If he were that important, there was no way he wouldn't
Ever since Ava mentioned her dad’s name, Derek had looked at her with the personality of a weak and spoiled daughter of a rich man, who worked with the intention of building a name for herself.However, his speculations seemed wrong with her actions.“Ava, the current situation you are in is quite dangerous. Why not stay at my place for the time being? I have a lot of rooms to keep you comfortable.” Brenda suggested in concern...Ava smiled and shook her head to turn down Brenda’s kind offer. “Thanks, maam but there are numbers of security guards in the villa. I’ll be safe once I go inside. I’ll be alright. Thanks for caring, boss.”Brenda thought about it and felt that she was right. Since Ava was already at the doorstep of her own home, Brenda merely reminded, “Be careful then. Ask your dad to assign a few elite bodyguards to protect you in case those crooks get up to more malice and try to harm you.”Ava nodded. “Alright, I will.”Then she turned and said to Derek, “Thank you so m
Derek and Brenda, each got busy with their own matters in the meantime. While Clarine on the other hand, spent the majority of the time getting back with Brenda before she actually returned to work.Brenda on the other hand, as the general manager of the Fera fashion, naturally had many new plans to carry out and arrangements to make.As an acting general manager in the Emerald group also, Clarine also had a lot on her plate every day. She had to handle the daily affairs of the company and suppress those who refused to obey her and were throwing their weight around just because they were old. She also had to handle important follow-up matters and try her best to minimize the impact of this matter on trivial matters in the Emerald group.She was trying as much as possible to prove her diligence.Fortunately, Clarine was quite competent and managed to handle everything without Derek’s help.As for Sophia, the rightful general manager of the company, she was originally supposed to return
