Dustin was on his way back home. Dustin secretly went home without telling Karina. Dustin wanted to surprise her. In fact, Dustin only replied briefly to Albert's message without saying that he was going home.After Albert obtained data from his fallen troops, Albert immediately provided reinforcements and benefits to the families left behind with the approval of Dustin and Yosan. The Kenderick residence, which was initially a mess full of corpses and blood that were smeared all around, had been tidied up by Albert. Although there was still a fishy smell in the wind."Mr. and Mrs. are you alright?" asked Albert when he met Yosan, Eri, and Jake."We're fine. Thank you, Albert. You and your troops have worked hard to protect us." Yosan was both amazed and proud of Albert.Albert bowed his head respectfully. "It has been my honour to protect you and the others, sir.""How is Dustin doing? When will he be back?" The look on Yosan's face instantly turned sad.Albert smiled while bowing res
Everyone was shocked to hear of Yosan's departure. News of his passing spread quickly throughout the city. That same day, Yosan's body was immediately washed. Everyone who knew him came to the funeral home and the church to pay their last respects.Important people and other successful businessmen came to offer their condolences. As many as two thousand invited guests were present to pay their last respects to Yosan, including the prime minister and other prominent wealthy families. State servants and military security forces stood guard around the church where Yosan's blessing occurred. Many journalists wanted to go inside, but they were not allowed."I hope you can bear it, Dustin. Believe me, your father was a very good man. He will be happy in heaven." One of Yosan's close relatives offered his condolences to Dustin.Dustin nodded his head while shaking the hand of the old man before him. "Thank you."Dustin behaved as a good host. He kept his demeanour. Despite his sadness, Dusti
Four months after Yosan's departure, Dusutin had already surfaced a lot. Dustin had often had business meetings with great people from various countries. Today, he would have a business meeting with Albert as his loyal servant in a large, luxurious building outside the city. The Kastelia Building in the opposite city was famous as a five-star building that offered visitors beauty and luxury at the same time.Dustin was in his private plane. He read the business progress report diagram, then glanced at Albert, who was sitting opposite him. "How's that mine near the south estuary coming along? Did you manage to negotiate it with the others?" Albert bowed his head respectfully. "We've tried to negotiate it, sir. But the other party is not willing. They insist on claiming that the mine belongs to them. Even some employees have been bribed to agree that the mine belongs to the Hover family."Dustin is in conflict with one of the wealthy families who both want the mine. They were fighting
Karina was watering Yosan's favorite flowers in the garden two months later. There was one flower that Karina deliberately took care of to preserve her memories with Dustin. Dustin had given her the red tulips on their wedding anniversary before he left for a meeting that day.Karina stopped the water tap in her hand, then gently rubbed her stomach. "If only I had not let you go that day, maybe you would still be here. Right now, with me, Dustin."Karina no longer cried too much over Dustin's departure. Although her chest ached and tightened, Karina was already stronger. At least, not calling every day.The garden maid approached Karina, extending her hand in front of Karina. "Let me continue watering the plants here, Miss. You just rest."Karina nodded her head as she handed the water hose to the maid. "Thank you."Karina strolled away from the garden. Her mind was racing, thinking about Dustin. This was still hard for her, but Karina persevered to protect the baby in her womb.Karin
The men of the criminal gang had all been arrested. News of Ludwig's birth had already spread throughout the country, along with the information that Karina managed to shoot one of the criminals disguised as a doctor through CCTV footage deliberately applied by the hospital. Suddenly, everyone was talking about it for a whole week. Moreover, journalists began to flock to the house because they were curious to see the face of the successor of the Kenderick family."Allow us to meet Miss Karina!" The reporters kept shouting to be allowed to meet Karina, who had just been discharged from the hospital.The car park was packed with reporters. Eri held Ludwig on her lap so he wouldn't be exposed to the media. They had to protect Ludwig. Meanwhile, the bodyguards completely guarded and surrounded Karina's car as it tried to escape the parking lot.Albert bent half his body and looked at the slightly open driver's window. "Take the back lane, then hurry to the south road. Hide for a while, wa
As morning approached, Karina woke up early as usual. She quickly cleaned herself up and prepared to go to the office. Karina looked in the mirror, straightening her clothes. Her body felt tired from the day before, but she had to keep working. Moreover, today there was an important meeting she had to attend with the country's top officials regarding the delay in delivery. Of course, Albert resolved it quickly, but Karina still had to meet them as the company leader responsible for it all.Karina came out of the room after getting dressed. The servants greeted her respectfully. "Good morning, Miss Karina. Your breakfast is ready on the dining table."Karina only responded with a nod of her head. She walked straight into the dining room where Albert and h parents were waiting. Karina walked over to them and joined them at the table."Good morning, Miss," Albert greeted her respectfully as he bowed half his body to welcome Karina."Good morning," Karina replied kindly. Karina sat on a c
Increasingly, the Earl looks closer and closer to Ludwig. Karina often saw Ludwig looking more comfortable around Earl than being close to other servants or even his parents. Karina also already knew that Earl really liked small children. Moreover, she confirmed that Earl was trustworthy, so Karina could be more relaxed in dealing with Earl without worrying.Karina sat on a park bench drinking tea and watching Earl holding Ludwig. She laughed when she heard Ludwig laughing. "Looks like Ludwig is delighted to be around Earl."Albert, who was standing next to Karina, nodded his head, agreeing with Karina's words. "That's right, Miss. Young Master Ludwig seems comfortable playing with the Earl."Karina read the document Albert had given her, examining the progress report of Kenderick's company. "It seems that everything went as smoothly as we expected."Albert nodded his head respectfully. "That's right, Miss. Some subsidiaries are thriving and providing great profits for the company." A
A quick shot without a pause surprised Karina when she saw that the Earl was already beside her. Karina was rooted to the spot for a few seconds, watching Earl who shot the assassins right on target. Not a single bullet was missed in the slightest."Miss, quickly protect Young Master Ludwig." The Earl shouted as his voice sounded faint in between the continuous gunfire.Karina nodded her head, running straight to Ludwig's bed. Karina hugged Ludwig in her lap and took cover behind the Earl's body approaching them. Earl was wholly focused on shooting at the intruders. There were so many of them that the room was stuffy and smelled of blood.Earl moved to the right and left sides following the movements of the intruders, who continued pointing their weapons at Karina, but Earl could block them. Karina's vision still couldn't see clearly. Karina could only see the silhouettes of the bad guys."Stay behind me, Miss," Earl whispered to Karina without looking back.Karina nodded her head. Sh
