"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'
The sound of the gun piercing the atmosphere was loud enough to make the burly men turn heads..Never had they expected that there would be an enemy behind. One thing was prominent, the young master must not die.In the corner, Brenda cried herself out, at the sight of the blood that oozed out from her husband's arm.The burly men had returned to find Derek in pain but they dared not reveal anything, they behaved as though they were neutral.Even Brenda was too terrfied to process whom the burly men were. At the moment, all she found herself doing was weeping that her husband stays alive and being grateful that some people had remembered them and were being kind enough to come to their rescue.'Perhaps it could be one of those Derek had initially released.'Kaden, who had also witnessed the scene from his place of hiding, rejoiced inwardly. ‘Good. Kill him! Derek, you piece of trash. I want you dead.’His heart was filled with murderous intent toward Derek. He wanted this man dead, wit
Cassandra was good enough to say such without considering the fact that the two families had been friends for quite some time. Not that alone, she refused to consider the fact that the two girls were bosom friends.Now that Brenda was here, she had put up an unwelcoming front!“We’re here to bring Clarine with us.” Derek spoke up before his wife even had the chance to do so.“Who are you to say anything here?” Of course, Derek was a nobody to Cassandra. To put it bluntly, a piece of trash like this good for nothing son-in-law was simply dirt on their floor.‘If not for the fact that the two families are still acquaintances, I probably would’ve broken in to save Clarine by now.’“Alright now. Clarine is our daughter; she has nothing to do with you two. You guys can leave!” Cassandra gave her order and requested for Derek to leave without batting an eye.No matter how bad she ranted, the duo had no intentions of leaving.“We’re not going to leave until we see Clarine today.” Derek igno
Cassandra was totally numb seeing her husband accommodate Derek like a close relative.Derek, who had initially been unwelcome just minutes earlier and had even needed to fight his way upstairs, now had a close relation with Kenneth because he managed to save the life of his dearest daughter.Derek didn't refuse the offer either, he closely tailed behind Kenneth as they headed to the study with his hands folded behind his back.The moment they sat down in the study, Kenneth Landon got right to the point. “Derek, seems to be quite intelligent, what college did you attend?"“You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you the truth. So I think it's better that I keep to myself.""Wow! I love intelligent people like yourself.""I have a big secret I would love to share with you."Just then, someone pushed the room to the study open.Kenneth was taken aback, but he relaxed when his wife entered the room.She had made tea as ordered and was now bringing it over for her husband. She had never t
Not considering how much drama was pulled, Derek had no interest in the fight between Kenneth and Cassandra. Where he sat he began to have various thoughts.Initially it was just the Reids he was against, then the Smiths came in.It seemed like there were several butts that really needed to be kicked and several heads out back in place.However, Derek seemed to have the messy situation was all under his control. All he needed do was take them down one after the other, and as at last night, he already started with the Smiths.After a long while of no consensual decision between the couples, Derek strolled out and headed home.***The following day…Derek and Brenda managed to find somewhere for Clarine to stay.As the three of them arrived at her new residence, Brenda and Clarine received a message at the very same time on each of their device.Even before checking, they had their gaze locked together.Then after checking, each of them had their brief tightly knitted together.“Wha
Emico chemicals! Derek wondered within him, it sounded so familiar.He traveled back in thoughts as the name kept ringing a bell, then he remembered the day Gage gave him a list of the companies under the Emerald group, he had seen Emico.Derek smiled inside of him. 'That means the nitwit works for me, yet he acts this stupid.''If he's telling the truth, I can fire him and give the job to somebody else who needs it desperately.'Derek noted that down within himself, he was going to mask Gage about who the manager of Emico was.Upon hearing that Greg was going to buy a house at Waterfalls, everyone became even more excited.Everyone from the Dominican knew what that meant.Waterfalls was the core of Dominican’s business circle. Even among the prominent families in Dominican, there were top-tier families and second-tier families.Brenda’s family was a second-tier family.One of the reasons the Reids we're yet to be regarded as a first tier family was simply because they didn’t have a v
The duo took Clarine to her residence, after which the couple returned home.Thankfully, her parents had settled and weren't concerned about locking the young lady up again.That gave Brenda some peace of mind, but even after arriving home, Brenda couldn’t put her mind to rest. As such, she called her husband up to the room. “Derek, how are you going to solve this problem? You've told so many people about the house. Won’t it be embarrassing for us if our lies are exposed? I won't be able to face the crowd of his friends if I meet with them.""And you, they definitely wouldn't respect you. They end up spreading the news all over the Dominican.""What the hell came over you?! Telling them I had just one car was enough. It wasn't even necessary either. Why should you have? The House was just enough."Worry was well written over Brenda's face.. Yet she was angered over the fact that Derek was too relaxed.At the sight of her knitted brows, Derek couldn’t help but chuckle. “Come over sil
"Guys what do you think? I think it's quite better to agree to whatever meal today, if we give them more time, they might use that opportunity to borrow funds and put things they've not got in place."Greg met with his friends in the early hours of the day to make deliberations."Yea, you said right! I equally didn't trust Derek or whatever his name is. He seems like a tyrant."All of them present couldn't help but laugh. "You are right Greg, let's set the meal for today." the friend who currently spoke pauses his lips."What do you think? Should we dress nicely, or… Casual…" the friend who currently spoke sneered. "Nicely of course. But if no other person stresses well enough, I bet my guy here should." he hit Greg playfully on the arm."Of course, I can't wait to see the expression of being defeated on that good for nothing and then Brenda comes running into my arms." he opened his arm excitedly while he imagined."Guy, she's pregnant… How about that?""It says nothing. I can stil
