Brenda tried on countless dresses, all of which she thought looked lovely. “The clothes you picked for me are very nice too. Which ones do you think I should get?” she asked, frowning in contemplation.Derek handed her a pair of baby shoes, brushing off her question. “There are many more for you to try. There’s no hurry to decide. In the meantime, see how you like these shoes. Would they look good on the baby?"Brenda gawked at him with a smile. 'My husband will definitely be a great father.' She said to herself.Everything had been planned to accommodate Brenda, down to the barest detail, and she was clearly taken in by the act. True, it didn’t hurt to try on a few more outfits, especially since she had never in a long time worn so many gorgeous dresses.From the sidelines, the staff member saw Derek gesture, silently instructing her to wrap up everything Brenda had tried on.Prior to today, Brenda had never bought clothes more expensive than 500 dollars, but the ones that Derek

THE NEXT MORNING…Considering Brenda's health, Derek took it upon himself to prepare her something.She was pregnant and definitely wouldn't go for all types of food. He took a quick initiative to check out facts online.He got some facts about pregnant women's cravings.They crave for: Ice, Potato Chips, Chocolate, Lemons, Spicy food, Ice Cream, Red Meat, Cheese, Pickles, Peanut Butter.Fortunately, they had some potatoes left at home, so he decided to come up with Bauernfrühstück.A breakfast made out of fried potatoes, eggs, onions, leeks or chives, and bacon or ham. The whole house was filled with the sweet scent of the meal, he thought Brenda would awaken in the process but he was wrong.She never got out of bed even one bit.After he was done cooking, Derek brought breakfast up to his wife.Seeing that she was still fast asleep, he placed the tray down softly, with no intention to disturb her.Just as he was about to leave, his gaze fell on a piece of golden bracelet on her van

Left with no choice, Brenda faced the plus sized lady squarely."Hey, I saw it first. Give it back!"Eleanor, the plus sized lady smiled sarcastically."t’s yours just because you saw it first? You didn’t buy it, so what if I’m buying it now?” she slammed a card down on the counter. “By card!”Seeing how prideful the plus sized lady was, the sales assistants were naturally over the moon.Brenda had been walking around the shop for more than half an hour. Although she had tried on several pieces, she had not expressed any intention of buying any of them.She was the kind of person that sales assistants hated the most. They felt that Brenda was simply a poor woman who couldn’t afford to buy any of their products. All she wanted to do was try them on for fun.In comparison to her, the sales assistants naturally preferred an old-fashioned, rich person like Eleanor, who didn’t even hesitate before paying for whatever caught her eye.“First come, first served. What do you mean ‘I saw it fi

Eleanor however got nastier with her words, and this instigated Derek to nearly explode in anger, but he held it in. ‘It isn’t the right time for me to reveal my identity just yet. A lot of people still have to pay for their evil deeds first.'“Baby Sister, who was so foolish as to have dared to bully you?” Just then, a man with a pot belly and just a strand of hair left at the middle of his head strolled into the shop.“Hello, Mr. Justin.” At a glance, the sales assistants bowed to him.Dominican Business Association’s Vice Chairman, Xander Justin walked in.“Brother, I’m sure you won’t be able to guess who he is.” Eleanor pointed at Derek and laughed. “It’s him; his name is ‘Derek' Guess who he is!”Eleanor was in no hurry to let her brother take revenge on her behalf. After all, she had finally met Dominican’s legendary celebrity, the good-for-nothing son-in-law Derek. It would be great fun!The news would travel far and wide to Derek's disadvantage, but to her advantage.“Derek!

Eleanor was a plus sized lady, with puffy cheeks, swollen legs and of course, swollen arms.In concise words, she was just more than twice Brenda's size.All these features made her so ugly, but even at that she was also brainless, with no manner of courtesy. As much as her brother Xander, already humbled himself to such an extent, yet she couldn’t even read the handwriting on the wall. Yet, had the audacity to spill such insultive words!Gage sneered. “Alright, I see how much greatness the Justin's possess that they certainly have no respect to keep their flaws even in public!"With that, Gage turned to leave without paying any heed to Xander Justin.Xander was confused and frightened at the same time.Gage had only voiced a little bit there certainly would be more to his words, Xander had thought within himself immediately.His face turned ghostly pale. He rushed up to his sister and landed a firm slap on her face.“What! Brother… you slapped me because of this poverty stricken

Speaking of Ferrari vehicles, Derek loved the Icona series, Ferrari Daytona Sp³ to be precise.A vehicle at the price range of 2,250,000 dollars, whereas, the Ferrari driven in by the visitor was just a Ferrari Roma at the range of 227,620 dollars.Quite low to Derek's preference, yet he felt the at wasn't too bad after all.Hence, Derek was quite inquisitive to know who the visitor was.His gaze was glued to the vehicle, but its windows were quite tinted that which made it difficult for anyone to discover who was within the vehicle.Hence, Derek was prepared to wait till the conveyor came off the vehicle.In a short while, the ignition was turned off and a young man with a three piece suit against his body walked out of the vehicle.He had a black shade on, but that didn't stop Derek from sighting his side features which seemed a bit familiar to Derek.As the young man strode towards the hotel, he didn't spare Derek a glance even after putting away his sunglasses.Derek also took a

The moment Cassandra said those words, Brenda’s face soured.Brenda was stuck in between the devil and the red sea.Clarine was her very good friend, no other person had ever understood her like Clarine would.In fact, the best definition for both if then was calling them sisters. Other than that, no other words qualified best.As for Derek, although he seems to have nothing, he has been one of the best to call a partner, best friend, and even best confidant.Who then would she stick to, Derek or her best friend?"Mom, what are you saying?” Clarine voiced immediately.Even Clarine stepped forward to lecture her mom. It was true that she shouldn’t have said that.“What! Isn't it right to teach her the right approach to life as a dutiful elder should?""Besides, you should always watch the company you keep! I don’t mind you being friends with Brenda, but I’m really afraid that this piece of trash she calls a husband will later ruin her, and I don't want it to affect my precious daughter.

At first, Derek and Brenda thought that these people who got out of the cars were practically the end of it, as such they had no reason to be scared.But on the contrary, this was just the beginning.In a short while, the cars started driving toward them one after another.The cars were Maybach, Bentley, BMW and several others.One after the other, the cars rolled to a stop as dozens of besuited and sunglasses-wearing bodyguards stood on both sides of the Maybach which seemed to lead the trail.The doors were slowly pushed open, and out walked a man, dressed formally and walked with a steady gait. He straightened his suit, with a bow, he said.“Miss Reid, Master Smith sends his regards.” Brenda looked at the man with confusion in her eyes.Derek gripped his wife’s hand tightly, to make sure he provided her with some warmth and comfort.The man before them was Baoba. To say it nicely, he was the adopted son of the Smiths.To be blunt, he was just the Smith family’s dog. He was an or

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
CHAPTER 291
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
CHAPTER 290
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
CHAPTER 288
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
CHAPTER 287
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
CHAPTER 286
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
CHAPTER 285
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
