With a firm expression, Derek looked at the pie on his plate.

He obviously knew exactly what Autumn was driving at.

It was simple, she needed him to join her in going against the Reids, then she could split some fortune for him and Brenda.

However, Derek merely sneered. Deep down, he obviously knew that the wealth and fortune of Autumn combined with the Reids was definitely not up to half of his.

'Then why should I succumb to her bidding?' he thought to himself.

His only reason to have remained in such a family was obviously for no one other than his wife Brenda.

Right from the start, he never was interested in a family like the Reids.

Their gullibility was obvious, nothing at all as concealed.

The only people who were quite good were Brenda and Mr Reids, even the extended family were shit.

As such even before he discovered his identity, he despised them with the whole of him.

Now that he discovered what they did to him, and who he really is, why would he need anyone to give him a

    At first Brenda wondered why Derek was so much interested in Autumn's secrets. However she couldn't help but laugh extensively at the seriousness emanating from his expression."Babe, please just tell me. I promise to get you more chicken if you do. Or ask me to get you anything you would want then I'd get it.""Hmm, like getting Mount Everest!" Brenda couldn't help but tease him further."Emm, be rest assured I'll get it for you if I can." he replied playfully.He had thought she would ask for material things but she seemed to be less interested in any of those. Derek turned towards her. "Babe, I'm serious. Just say anything you want, I'll surely get it for you." Derek sounded very much serious this time around.However, Brenda was yet to take him seriously. "What about getting the heavens?" she couldn't help but chuckle.Derek was getting much frustrated inwardly, and at the same time, he couldn't show his desperation to learn about Autumn. With a mild change in stance, and a half

    "What’s wrong? You don’t seem to like me very much. Why do you fret? I heard you've become the director of the Reids group now, with that I don't think you should in any way be scared of me."Autumn said further to fuel the fire, after which a wide mocking laughter escaped from her lips.“You…” Morphie nearly leaped up to punch her, but she dogged and he sat back."You know it would be unruly for a news to go around expressing our dearest director as a woman beater." Autumn said that in a sneer, Morphie clenched his fist tight together in anger.“Alright, stop it. Let’s talk about the company. I see that you got accepted by the Emerald group as collaborators for a new investment right?!"Morphie was however speechless, Autumn found herself a seat without being offered one."Let me open your eyes to something Morphie. You are still quite a young lad, and your eyes are not yet open to much in the business world.""Go straight to the point Autumn!" Morphie ordered with a hit against the

    Derek reached Trastar before the others. Angrily he paced forth and back at the front of his vehicle.The moment he noticed Gage's vehicle driving in, he stood with his arms by his side, his eyeballs deepened like that of a hawk.As Gage arrived with the boys, none of them dared to make a sound. They stood silently by the side, waiting for the young master's order.They could all feel the strange atmosphere in the room. They had no idea what had happened, but the murderous intent that Derek exuded made it obvious just how serious this matter was.The two boys had sweat dripping from their back, not as a result of the scorching sun, but as a result of the fear deep within their souls.This was the second time they were meeting with Derek. Their first encounter was when he knew nothing about himself.But now that he held more than power that could haul down the whole of Dominican, they fidgeted reasoning that he might take revenge.Along the way, Gage had several thoughts revolving aro

    “Young Master, we’ve caught them.” Even though the boys already had the culprits, they couldn’t help but feel anxious.Each of the boys waited to study Derek's expression. To their utmost surprise, his anger had really calmed, he faced the culprits."Who is your master? Who had hired you five? And who instructed you to beat Brenda’s up?”At first, Derek flushed his gaze across the five if them, he tried to remember if he had seen any if them before but he was sure that he had never seen these five tyrant looking boys before. This meant that they bore no grudges against him.In conclusion, there was only one possibility at such audacity. It means simply meant they had been hired by someone.His question provoked harsh words from them. "You have no right to question us. Who are you? You’re just a useless good for nothing son-in-law.

    The day Derek got to know of Autumn's shocking secret through his wife, he had thought it as the best way to get to her.Immediately he left for the gas station and he got to call Gage, who had told him to find out about Autumn's son.While he turned away from Gage and the others, he had opened the message only to find complete information as regards where he visited at night, things he loved to do. It even covered the fact that he was a regular visitor at Sultry night.The information contained virtually every single thing about him, including his picture.Hence when Derek walked into the room, it was quite easier for him to sight Brandon.He had a special room which he always logged in when he came around, and it was that exact room that Derek found him.The moment Brandon caught sight of Derek, he yelled irritatedly at the sudden intrusion."Get out of here! Who the hell let you in?! I need to call security."Brandon felt so disturbed and utterly humiliated.Yet, Derek acted as tho

    The next day, while Brenda dressed, she realized Derek had not bought himself an outfit yesterday before they left the supermarket ."What do you plan on wearing?" She confronted him the moment he came around ."Worry less about me. I'm fine, I've got an outfit here that I could manage.""You deserve to dress to the nines, not me." she planted a kiss on his cheek before she knew it.Even after he assured her of having an outfit, she was quite confused as to what he planned to wear. In the recent times there had only been a few touches to her wardrobe, but his! Nothing has been done to it in recent times."Here it is." Derek brought out from the wardrobe neatly zipped up in extra clothing."You remember this suit!" Derek said as he carefully brought it out."Of course not. How would I remember something you hid secretly?""Well, it's a gift from you. Some year's back."Brenda remembered the moment he flashed the clothes across her face.She had actually gifted him the day he turned tw

    "Hey Derek, you know you aren't eligible to address us. Nevertheless, speak up on your ridiculous demand. What a big joke!" somebody from the crowd shouted.'This was the time to get back at the Smiths if he wanted to.' Derek thought to himself.'No matter how big or great a corporation is, if several companies withdrew their corporation from them, they would definitely go down one after another.' A second thought flowed into his mind, this was exactly what he intended to achieve.Then he voiced. "Everyone, this is the main deal, if everyone should agree to withdraw their corporation from the Smiths then I would release us all."Every single person stared wide-eyed at Derek because of this ridiculous demand. "The Smiths have the intention to wipe all of us out, but now even the Reids aren't any better off. How could you make such a ridiculous demand?" somebody from the crowd yelled."Even if we were to withdraw our corporation, have you ever thought of how big they are? Who wouldn'

    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
