Peter just couldn't get enough of Derek's jokes. Yet, he leaned to the wall, crossed his fingers and awaited the so-called gift he said to have.

He's definitely a loser, why not just give up. Peter told himself.

The sight before him was quite amusing. It was as though he were seeing a movie.

‘How can there be such a piece of trash in this world? He can’t even give his wife a present without being scolded.’

To hasten Derek's fall, he said. "Brenda. I’m not trying to say anything. Although everyone always says that Derek is a piece of trash and is a loser son-in-law, you’re his wife. You can’t think of him that way.”

“Derek bought you something out of good intentions. Why can’t you accept it? Come on, Derek. Open it up and let us see what you bought.”

Peter had suddenly grown wings and had transformed into a sweet talker all of a sudden. He had even taken the initiative to ‘advise’ Brenda to treat her husband well.

Unfortunately, it was clear that his concerns were nothing more than a

One of the reasons Derek got to choose the same place.Within ten minutes, a Tesla model X, with the red color zoomed towards Trastar.The front lights shone brightly on Derek's face revealing his enraged countenance, as his eye had turned red, and his hair had fallen a bit above his eyelid.At the same time, the figure and aura of the one who was within the vehicle was enough to haul down the whole of Dominican.Hurriedly, he pulled the door open headed towards his boss who had reached out to him. "Youngmaster, your call was quite alarming! May I know what the problem is?" Gage had told the moment he met with Derek, who's expression was in no way smiling at all.

    Derek, together with Brenda, walked past Orange Island gate, and the securities could not help but trail them with their gaze once again. "You know Thomas, I still can't believe the fact that these two have a house here." Cornor said to Thomas immediately the two were out of sight."They could be lowkey millionaires," Thomas responded with a glint of assurance."Wow, if these two can be millionaires, definitely I will be called a millionaire very soon too," Thomas joked in return.While the duo kept walking in silence, Derek kept trying the network for ordering an Uber.

    Mother's love was one thing Derek craved for since childhood, but fate denied him of it. Even Mrs Reid never showed him concern, as she treated him like an outsider or worse than an outsider would.The only people that showed him pure love was Brenda and Mr Reid, but that of Mr Reid was always cut short by interference of Mrs Reid.How wouldn't he know what the kids needed? Who wouldn't crave for warmth in the innermost part of their heart?Initially, this event had always been a competition for all the prominent corporations and families in the name of charity.

    In a short while, chaos broke out in Beula Kindergarten as confusion set in.Countless children dropped the toys in their hands, while others rushed toward Derek's lane with their previous toys still in their hands.They were all headed toward no other place than Derek's lane.Derek did more than drawing bracelets and watches for the children; that would’ve been a really boring exercise.As such, he devised drawing cats on some of the children’s faces, butterflies on others, and tigers according to their favorites.There was absolutely nothing within the children’s imagination that Derek couldn’t draw. All diagrams were fitted well.In two minutes, the jingling sound of a bell came forth to signify nothing but to officially bring the second round to a close. All the children were queued up before Derek's lane, and it was clear who had won.Derek's household had won both rounds of the competition.On plain ground, his household had won the Best Charitable Organization, but all thanks

    If he had said nothing, it was clearly written that none of them were willing to stay over. Considering Brenda's condition, it wasn't advisable that she spend the night on the couch either.The moment Derek said these words, everyone stared at him as though he was crazy."Everyone is quite aware that you were the one who landed Mr. Reid in this state, and you’re planning on accompanying him throughout the night? So you could totally finish him off?!"Joel Buffon disagreed and was about to voice his objections when Morphie quickly stepped in. He whispered, “Uncle, just let him do it. Morphie turned to Mrs Reid and whispered further. "It’ll naturally be great if dad recovers; we won’t have to worry about him then. However, it might not be all that bad if something happens to dad either.”“I’m the director now, and I currently have the highest position apart from you, mom. Besides, if something happens to dad when under his care, we can use that as an excuse to put him behind bars.""B

    20 MINUTES LATER…All families were back, and so was Brenda who went lurking around the lobby.Unfortunately, visiting hours had yet to begin, and there was no way the nurse was going to let all of them enter the ICU ward at once.To the hospital, it seemed like an irresponsible act toward the patient, but the family members were quite nervous, and couldn't hold back.As Derek walked out with a bowl in his hand, he saw Morphie arguing with a nurse.Seeing Derek walk over, Morphie pointed right at him. “Look over there! You see that piece of trash standing right there!""He was supposed to watch over the patient, but he didn’t! We have reason to suspect that something could’ve happened to our old man. I demand that you let us in. What right do you have to stop us from entering?”Derek took a deep breath and muttered under his breath, “What’s there to see? He’s already well and out of critical condition. I guess he’s already literally sitting upright inside.”Although he said this under

    Mr Reid wasn't just her dad, then why should she be the only one to bear the whole cost? Coupled with the fact that she had not resumed work.It was a clear evidence that Morphie was obviously determined to humiliate both her and Derek.Like Mrs Reid would always emphasize, that without her, they definitely wouldn't be anything.“What’s wrong, Brenda? It was your matter and that of your loser of a husband that forced dad to be admitted in thforirst place, yet that piece of trash wasn’t even willing to take care of dad. He slept soundly outside instead! Now, you’re not even willing to organize a party to celebrate dad’s recovery?”“Brenda, I never thought that you both are so unfilial, despite dads love towards you two, even in the act of rebellion?!”Joel, who was standing by the side tutted. “How did my sister manage to raise such a rebellion like you? Brenda, you've grown to be so unfilial? Forget it if you’re unwilling. The entire family will pay for it; we’ll just take it as thou

    Derek remained silent, he had chosen a ball pen, not because of how small, but the significance. The ball pen signified constant flow of thought, which means he wished Mr Reid long life in the business world.However, all others were quite dumb to see through his reasons.Having said her piece, Brenda turned to take her leave, not giving her husband any time to explain himself.Derek put the pen down and chased after her.Derek and Brenda’s departure didn’t cause much of an uproar to the party.When the news reached Mr Reid that Derek had given him a ball pen as a gift, he felt content differently from what other people had brought.“Mr Reid, welcome back to life." Just then, a thick and resonant voice sounded out.Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice, only to see an old man with long, white hair and a cute face that made him look like a baby.“Damon Miles, you’re here too.” He became emotional upon seeing the old man and personally welcomed him.This was the first ti

    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
