Does the Smiths have a shocking secret?Mrs. Reid and Morphie had their eyes shot toward Mr. Reid. Although both of them were quite arrogant about the slap he meted out to Morphie, yet they seemed to be surprisedMrs. Reid was so confident he had nothing new to say. As she believed she was in charge.Therefore, she practically knows all about the Smiths.With a sneer, she asked. "Old man, go on, let's hear from you. So what secrets, are you trying to spill? It had better made some sense."’Mr. Reid couldn't help but shake his head at first. " Fine, I know how much you detest that girl, but I promise you, you will regret your actions, sooner or later.""Both of you I mean," Mr. Reid pointed at both mother and son."Charles! Can you go straight to the point or i have you kicked out of my presence?"“Fine, I won’t talk about my daughter. I’ll cut to the chase and talk about the Smiths. Five months earlier, the Smith family’s head. Draco was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The last st

Even the audience were patiently on edge while they ogled over the game between Draco and Derek with kin expectation.However, they all knew who the winner would be, so they felt Derek was only buying time but insisting on continuing the game.Each move of the chess pieces felt like a stab to Brenda’s heart, and each time, she felt like offering Derek a slap out of the seat.Another time she's looking at him as a senseless person after a long while.Although she barely knew about chess, but she was familiar with some basics and could tell with the way Draco played that he was an experienced player.His moves although calm, but they were brisk and quick.It gave only one meaning. 'Victory was surely in his hands.Painfully, she found it hard to warp her mind around the reason why Derek would accept to such challenge at first.

Brenda's eyes fluttered twice in surprise. "Mummy!" In a split of seconds, Brenda could hardly believe her ears. For the first time in many days, she referred to her as mum.'I'm I not her biological daughter? How can she not close an eye to my misery, not even care about my survival and even spout such words?’“Mom, don’t you think you’re going overboard with your words?” Brenda was pushed to ask.Brenda painstakingly said after listening to those harsh words come from Mrs Reid.Immediately, Morphie roared in objection.“Overboard? Brenda, watch how you’re speaking to mom. Was she wrong about what she said earlier! I doubt if she was.Obviously from the very beginning, it was you who decided to create this trouble for the Reid family. Do you know how many families in Dominican look down on us because you married this piece of trash?”“Brenda, you were clearly betrothed to Kaden, but you chose to marry someone else. Don’t you think it’s your fault that you offended the Smiths and

The closer Autumn got, the more choking the fragrance seemed to be to Derek.The fragrance emitted a sweet smell of strawberry odor, which was quite Intoxicating and strong enough as it nearly threw Derek off-guard as he got dizzy.As much as he tried to split the eyes open, the more blurred his visions got constant and stronger, that he almost lost a total control of his mind.At intervals, he shook his head, while he tried to break free of that pain.Whereas Autumn had a sweet amile plastered all over her face. She chuckled wickedly and finally found her way to sit beside him.Initially, the pair had been sitting opposite each other. But with Autumn, right next to him, it was inevitable for the pair to touch each other.“Auntie Autumn what have you done to me?" Derek stubbornly clasped his head in between his hands to get a total control of himself.Autumn chuckled mockingly, lifted his chin wiry a finger and sneered. “What’s wrong? Aren’t we relatives? Why do you mind?”Hurriedl

The manager of Tesla motors was taken aback, same as everyone else in the showroom.No one had ever believed in their wildest imagination that Derek who was being spoken of as a good for nothing son in law could find his way to a whole Tesla showroom without shame.All gaze were fixed on him in disdain, even the manager who was earlier on nice, drew across his brow creases in disgust.In the next minute, he took no time before he metted out the next order."With due respect, sir, leave! Now!”Derek also had never in a million years expected that the manager who had been very kind and friendly just seconds earlier attempt to chase him away after getting his identity linked to be the Reid family’s son-in-law.Derek was thrown into a slight daze, hence as much as he tried to recall the statement he got glued to a spot." Are you deaf! Nuisance!" Another degrading word fell from the manager.Derek straightened up his clothes, took the courage to speak out.'It's not right to treat people

One thing settled, the next was obviously getting real convincing evidence for Brenda.Before he purchased the vehicle, he thought he would eventually make up something tangible, but now his brain was just as empty as something else.Derek knew his wife well, she's so intelligent and wouldn't just fall for anything over this, except it's quite concrete.Brenda hummed and walked out to have some air at the balcony.She had barely settled at the balcony when she spotted the Tesla vehicle parked in front of the house.Confusion arose in her mind at first, but she wasnt quick to think that the person behind the wheel was Derek."Hello, is there any one you seek for?" Brenda said as she approached the vehicle.At each step closer she was, Derek felt like turning himself into the soil.He was yet to get an answer as regards the inevitable question.Finally, she was right before the vehicle and at the same time surprised to find Derek behind the steering wheel.With both hands in the air, sh

"Derek watch out!" Brenda called his attention to an approaching vehicle, but it was too late to make a turn.He had diverted his attention to talking to his wife instead of complete concentration.Before he knew it, he had hit a black Rolls-Royce vehicle."Hey, who the hell do you think you are?" A middle-aged man dressed in a lapel suit against his body, and his eyes covered with a dark shade, dashed out of his vehicle, after sighting the huge dent in his vehicle, he didn't hesitate to throw a heavy punch into Derek's face before any explanation."Who the hell gave a riff-raff like you a Tesla to drive?"Derek's outfit was quite too shattered to say he owned such a vehicle.While Derek rubbed the effect of the initial hit, the man prepared to hit him the second time, but Brenda was quick to block him off."No, please it was unintentional. He's not like that." She said to wade the man off, but she was all wrong."That's impossible woman, I need to get repayment for my dented vehicle

Mrs Devin was quite surprised to find an E cardholder dressed commonly, not just commonly but outdated.Derek's appearance spoke less of his personality.At first, Mrs Devin was quite skeptical about someone like him being in custody of an E card.Nevertheless, E card holders identity can never be impersonated, hence she believed him with cold chills rush down her spine."You are the branch head right? Derek turned to Mrs Devin after the manager's narration."Yes Mr I am…""I need five million dollars, right now! I need to withdraw it with immediate effect. If you don’t have enough cash here, you’d better call your superiors and get them to send it over now. I want cash.” Derek placed his E card in Mrs Devin's hand. Immediately, Mrs Devin was on the verge of tears. ‘Just five million dollars!' An E cardholder can indeed choose to withdraw any amount at any branch, is this the flimsy reason why this manager had withheld him for so long instead of attending to him?''Now, I've got to

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
