Next day…Brenda tossed restlessly on the bed, she lifted her gaze to the roof, staring at nothing in particular She just couldn't understand why she felt a sense of longing after her husband had left. ‘I should be utterly disappointed in this man, but there’s been only one thought in my mind since he disappeared from my sight: I miss him!’ she mumbled to herself Whereas, Derek had followed Megan for the competition. Although he was asked to represent his home country, Dominican, yet he felt nothing important attached to doing such.Instead, he felt like it was a clear waste of time and effort, but since he had made promises, he had no choice but to fulfill it.There, he spotted Abigail. With the broad smile on her face, he could guess sge was grateful that he had agreed to represent their country in the competition.Then, they exchanged their contact numbers, and Abigail told him that she would inform him of the details closer to the date.Derek was surprised the competition wasn't

Felix was surprised to hear a whole Gage, number one prominent figure, call Derek his boss. Before he got to confront Derek, he already made a series of researches and findings about him.All of which pointed out to the fact that he is just a thrash, useless son in law of Dominican.Married to Brenda Reid which he always had an eye for.He had always sought ways to get Derek's attention and lay him off Brenda's back. He had however succeeded in meeting him, but now he got devastating news.Felix fluttered his brow twice in disgust and Interjected, he was yet to process the news when Gage commanded."What are you supposed to do after fighting your boss?" Felix fell to his knees at the voice of Gage."I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you or even your wife in that way.""Apologize right away!" Gage added. Immediately, Felix did as spoken, and encouraged his employees to do the same too. At the same time, he sent out the warning. "Each and everyone of you should have whatever video yo

Derek glanced and saw to it that Clarine was quite balanced before he turned to the manager and said. "You’re Cornor Jasper, right? Are you the manager here? The mall should have CCTVs around, so we’ll know if she’s telling the truth once we check them.”Derek was used to such treatment, they made the law to suit only those who had a name and the other who had no manner of recognition, ended up taking the blame.This time, Clarine was recognised, but the manager was willing to take his pound of flesh from her. A more reason he had stopped them.Cornor's lips curled up menacingly. His gaze was filled with hatred for Derek. He turned towards him and said,“You piece of trash! Did you think I wouldn’t recognize you? You’re just the useless matrilocal son-in-law of the Reid family. Hey, Clarine is your wife’s best friend, isn’t she? Are you cheating on your wife with her?”His words were downright shameless and accusatory.Initially, this hadn’t been a big deal. After all, two guests had s

"Young master?!" There were several murmurs far and near.The one who had gotten out of the Tesla, was none other than Gage, together with two three extra guys, highly skilled in martial arts.They had all hurried here in fear. No matter what had happened and whether it had anything to do with them, the first thing they had to do was apologize to Derek.However, their apology left Gage dumbfounded. Earlier, he had been sure that the one they had been talking about was the plump man.But he was wrong! The one he couldn’t afford to offend was Derek!Things are getting awkward now.Derek scoffed. “How early. I’m about to get chased out, and he has already asked me to scram!”‘That isn’t right. We clearly told Dawn to treat him well, so how dare he offend Derek?’Dawn was on the brink of tears. “I… Sir, this is just a misunderstanding.""A misunderstanding!"Dawn forced a smile out as he tried to defend himself. However, Gage refused to hear him out.He picked up his phone, and said somet

No sooner had Morphie said those words than Derek glared at her with a piercing gaze.However, for the first time in several years, he took Morphie by the arm and demanded. “Apologize!”Morphie was terrified and as well confused with Derek's sudden voice change, but he was never going to bow down and apologize to her. His younger sister at that. Even if it were not her, and it were Derek, he was never going to apologize either.It spoke less of him and definitely belittled his status, he said to himself.“Derek, who are you? Why should I listen to you? Besides, I might very well be right. Look at how badly your wife was beaten up. Do you think she’d have been beaten up if she didn’t do anything wrong?” Morphie thought he was being logical and rational, yet what he got in return was a fist from Derek that struck him straight in the nose.Fresh blood oozed out.He wiped away the blood from her nose, and railed at him. “What’s wrong with you? You’re going to pay for this damage you've

Once again, Mrs Reids said according to the lies she had been fed with by Derek.“I see that you not only spout rubbish now Morphie, but you also coax people into doing so along with you."Everyone we're taken by surprise at the voice, they wanted to know who had the audacity to respond that way. All heads turned backward only to discover it was Derek who had spouted such.Mrs Reids especially was taken by surprise, as was Morphie. He had thought about his encounter with him the previous day and the way he spoke was different from his usual reserved self.Morphie sighed heavily upon sighting Derek and Brenda tugging by his arm.'What the heck am I doing shivering in the presence of a coward.' Morphie said to himself.However, he straightened his suit, cleared his throat and said. “Since we’re all here, please have a seat. It’s my first time hosting a meeting as the family head, so please forgive me if I make any blunders.” The moment he opened his mouth, he made sure to emphasize his

Morphie smiled and consented to the idea immediately, while everyone’s eyes shot toward Derek. They all wanted to know what he would choose to do. ‘Will he agree to let Sophia make the decision, or will he refuse? If that happens, it’s unlikely for us to come to a decision by today.’Then there was just another question raised by Damon. "I guess we should suspend this notice till further notice. Considering the fact that we haven't reached out to the vice chairman beforehand. Don't you think she might be too busy to honor the invitation. Even if she does, would she accept coming here?"Morphie however smiled to himself. 'If only they all knew my stand with Sophia, none of them would dare to speak thrash, even Derek himself.'"There is no harm in trying first. Let's see what she would say then we would know what next. But I'm quite certain she would honor our invitation." Morphie couldn't help it, he just wanted to brag about how important he thought he was to others.On the other han

The whole family were stunned Derek was finally speaking up, even Brenda wasn't left out of the surprise.On the other hand, Morphie felt embarrassed that Derek had said such a nasty thing towards him before Sophia.Left to him, he would have retaliated, but he was still in the mood of acting cool to get Sophia therefore, he said nothing.The only thing left which he tried to do was to defend himself, but he couldn’t find a good argument. Eventually, he gave up.They had lost in this meeting, they had all lost. The only winners were Brenda and Derek.Morphie felt terribly indignant. ‘My reputation in the Reid family has already been ruined. There is no way of salvaging it.’Derek left with his wife, along with the money. He glanced at Brenda and repeated. “All those things that should belong to you. I won’t let anyone else have them.”She shot her husband a meaningful glance. She wondered what had come over him in the recent time and he was suddenly agitated to protect her.Several ti

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
