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
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
“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
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
"Hey, lazy asshole, get out of bed right now!" Brenda squealed and hit Derek with a piece of cloth slung across her neck.Derek struggled to lift his face, his eyes were still dreamy and his vision blurry but he could tell how enraged his wife was.In a short while, a second dagger was shot at him. "Your mates are out there working hard to fend for their family, while you lay aimlessly, drooling.""Drool!" Unfortunately, for him, he had some drool reflecting from the corner of his mouth.Derek had spent the whole of the previous day job hunting, stuck to his side was his CV and his dusty, untidied, and worn-out shoe, with a shabby set of clothes, to which he had trekked the whole of Dominican.Going from company to company, from the big giants to the SMEs yet all his searches were futile.Everything seemed as though it was a planned rejection.Having faced several rejections from relatable companies, he switched to little restaurants, small stores, and delivery work, yet he never got
Derek's hands trembled greatly, it was Morphie, Brenda's elder brother calling.Just a feet away from his mother in law on to fall in the hands of the son.All along, Derek was sure Morphie's call would only add more salt to his injury, but which seemed better, to pick and get insulted or avoid and receive a bigger bundle of visitation?To avoid the second option from happening, which only God knew what dimension it could take, Derek picked the call.Immediately, he was greeted by hot venomous words. "Bloody asshole! What took you so long in picking up my calls? Scared that I might chop that annoying face of yours off huh?" Derek left with no choice, leaned on his chin and allowed the ocean of words to fall directly on his laps. "You've got no shame I must say," Morphie chuckled loudly mockingly and continued. "Even a lazy asshole like you is prepared to be a father huh! You've got no job yet you've got some shameless thing between that thigh of yours to put my sister in the family
Being poor was never a deterrent to recognising expensive things for Derek, the old man was dressed very luxuriously with a three piece suite that had layers of expensive jewellery glittering around It, and each one sparkled under the illuminated room.His hair was black but overshadowed by traces of white intertwined between. However, it was neatly styled.Derek looked at the man in confusion, he wondered what a big shot like him was doing with such burly assaultive men.Every single step he took screamed nothing but opulence, Derek found himself sweating profusely still on his seat.Since the whole day had revolved around Reid's being merciless with him, he thought the old man was also an avenger.When the old man kept moving forward, Derek fell to his knees immediately and begged for mercy. "Mr. I know I'm an offender, please don't kill me for the sake of my wife and unborn child. I could leave far away and never return, just tell Mrs. Reid I'm sorry, and tell my wife I love her."
"I'll answer all your questions, do not worry.""You were so little when it all happened, one more reason you can't remember anything in your past." Gage said."Your father and mother were wealthy people, in fact, they weren't just wealthy but also famous, they were known all over the world.""Everything was going well until one unfortunate day, your family was betrayed by one of your father's followers." Gage implied with a frown.His eyes held so much pain and sadness in them, the memories of the past were so vivid it felt like yesterday when it all happened."Betrayed! By who?" Derek asked.Gage stared deeply into Derek's eyes, he knew his next words would come as a shock to him. Nevertheless, it was a truth he deserved to know."By your wife's parents, Mr and Mrs Reid.""What!" Derek yelled in shock. "Y… you've got to be mistaken, these people raised me like their own child.""No Derek, your father and mother got involved in an accident which claimed their lives and the Reid's sa
