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
The news of the ballpoint pen appearing at Mr. Reid's party made rounds around the Dominican, but nobody believed that Derek truly could spot valuable antiques.Everyone felt that he had simply been lucky. After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day.A good-for-nothing son-in-law was still a good-for-nothing son-in-law at the end of the day.Nothing changes. Moreover, it was only Mr. Reid that believed in Damon's word, even though It was quite unbelievable, as he found himself connecting to a bit of it.Mr. Reid was just being a normal person, holding no significant position; rather, there was little or nothing he could say.The party finally came to an end with Derek being referred to as a fraud star."He never would do the right In his life."Ever since the incidence, Brenda had been unusually cold toward him and had been unwilling to talk to him over the past few days.In everything she did, she tried her best to avoid him, at the least, avoid eye contact.Opportunities to
The moment Derek ended the call, Clarine’s mind was in total chaos as it wandered forth and back to the violinist."Could Derek be telling the truth about meeting the violinist?" She mumbled underneath her breath with a stern expression.Her mind kept revolting around his words as she was deep in contemplation.In the end, she realized she had no choice whatsoever but to give in. She gritted her teeth and sent him a message. It contained a single word: "Fine!"Days rolled faster into days, and the new month was around the corner.The moment Brenda got out of bed, she got a disheartening message from no one else but Morphie.“I thought you would go to Waterfalls today, it's all over the place that an anonymous man had rented the diamond level for his wife's birthday."“Hmm, do you think that any random Tom, Dick, or Harry can go to Waterfall? Don't even dream of doing that in this lifetime.”"On a second thought, who knows it might be that good for nothing son in law that got the plac
It was Derek who had asked Gage to rent the Waterfalls. It was also he who had gotten Gage to send an order that could allow Morphie within a room on the diamond level.It was of course, also him who had asked Clarine to bring her best friend to the Waterfalls.As for why the other young masters of the prominent families in the Dominican were able to secure rooms on lower floors in other levels near asides diamond, it was also Derek who had sent an to make sure of it. None of the rooms had been reserved by anyone else. It was as though they were especially waiting for them even though they were in lower rooms.Derek also gave the order to make sure all events that took place were perfectly recorded with the aid of a drone, and if anything should go amiss, each person who was in charge would be done for.Therefore Gage had to make sure all of those he dissipated duties to, were of competent personality.If only people knew that the feared and respected Gage Ferguson, is a subordinate
Mrs Reid felt this was an opportunity for her. The news about Gage Ferguson being present at Waterfall had reached her through Morphie. Even though he knew nothing about why she asked.Hence, she felt it could be a good time to find some space at the top level.Her husband was quite useless and close to deathbed. She thought to herself. Therefore, she needed something quite important. "If only I could be Gage’s woman, even if I’m just a mistress. Perhaps with a little luck, I might even be able to rise together with the Reid group very fast because of that."Before she left the house, she had dressed in exquisite makeup that made her look like a seductress, coupled with a silk purple gown slit to knee length exposing her thighs.The atmosphere of Waterfalls was going towards nightfall already, except the illuminated lights around that made views easier.Mrs Reid arrived fast enough before the close of the party. She moved further into the hall and at a corner, she sighted Gage Ferg
Both securities had stern looking impression. They obviously looked like raving lions not prepared to show any mercy.As a first hand offer, Derek took a drastic step."This is Brenda from the Reid family of Dominican.” Derek took the initiative to introduce his wife.The security officers took a glance at each other and gestured for them to enter." That did seem to work," Derek muttered underneath his breath.When the couple walked forward together, one of the security officers stopped Derek . “Who are you? You can’t enter.”“Her husband, Derek." He replied firmly. The security officers burst out into laughter. “Oh, you’re the infamous, good-for-nothing son-in-law of Reid family.”“You’re famous in Dominican. I’m sorry for not recognizing you earlier, but you aren’t allowed to enter.” the security man was quite firm with his words.Even after he had been already nice enough to announce his identity and that of his wife, the security officers refused to let him in.If only they kne
