Erick widened his eyes perfectly, surprised by what Dustin had done. He laughed. "Five? Is he joking? This is no place for that kind of stupid joke!"Laura laughed too. Her tone was condescending towards Dustin. "I'm sure he has no money and is just pretending to buy an apartment."Erick nodded his head with a mocking gesture. "Of course. Where does a poor guy like you get money from? Never mind, you'd better get out of here and stop fantasizing!"Erick was still upset about what Dustin had done to Bella. He snorted in annoyance, glaring at Dustin. "Just being a leader in a small company is already arrogant and pretentious. Don't get high and mighty!"Dustin smiled faintly. "Whatever!" He turned his face away, not caring.He actually paid for the five apartments using the black card in his hand. It made Erick's eyes widen even more perfectly.Laura lightly nudged Erick's arm, then whispered. "How can that poor man have a black card? Is it real?"Erick grinned with both hands tucked in
Erick was angry, not accepting that Dustin insulted him as a lowly person. "Insolent. How dare you insult and threaten me. You're lower than me, damn it! No matter what, you're still a useless, lowly poor man!"Erick raised his hand, blocking Dustin's body. "Give me that cell phone, damn it!" He tried to grab Dustin's cell phone, then glanced at it, but Dustin managed to dodge it.Erick's eyes trembled. His heart was really on edge. Keep the footage from getting out. He wouldn't let it. Because if it got out, his life would be instantly ruined.Dustin grinned, glanced at his cell phone screen, then looked at Erick with a sly look. "If this goes public, you'll definitely be disadvantaged. You'll get trouble and scorn from everyone for having an affair."Erick clenched his hands together. He was starting to get nervous about Dustin's threats. If the tape got out, it was confident that the sound image he had built up as the perfect son-in-law would be destroyed. The whole town would goss
Dustin left the place. Meanwhile, Erick became the center of attention of the crowd. He looked at Laura with a sharp gaze. He couldn't stay there. He had to leave immediately before the news spread further, making it difficult for him to leave.Erick walked away from Laura. He passed through the crowd of people who had been watching them. Some of those people seemed to look at Erick with contemptuous, hateful gazes."I didn't expect that guy to actually have an affair." The middle-aged female customer shook her head mockingly at Erick."There's a bad guy like that in the Grayson family." The other customers chimed in. They seemed content to insult Erick.Erick left the building in a hurry. He quickly drove his car. Since earlier, his cell phone had been ringing off the hook. Lots of incoming calls and messages. It bothered him. Finally, Erick decided to stop at the side of the road.Erick looked at the phone screen. The name of Gerald, the head of the Grayson family center company, wa
Jake pointed his index finger at Dustin's face. "Listen, don't ever mess with Erick. If you do anything to piss him off, we'll all pay the price."Eri lifted her chin up as she girded her loins. "You've often embarrassed our family. Already, don't add more trouble for us. We're already alienated enough in the Grayson family."Karina tugged on Dustin's arm. "You'd better go to your room." She moved towards the room, signalling that Dustin should leave now.Dustin complied with Karina's request, leaving the chaos in the house behind. Eri and Jake, meanwhile, tried to calm Erick down. Everyone also knew who was at fault because Erick cheated on them. But if it wasn't for Dustin, the news of Erick's affair wouldn't have spread and caused this much trouble.Dustin busied himself in his room. He played with his cell phone, scrolling through the social media pages still filled with news about Erick and Laura's affair. Other news also popped up, still about them. The impact was, of course, on
Ian shook his head, unable to believe that a small company like Cloa would refuse to cooperate with a youth company. "You really are a fool to cancel the cooperation with my company."Ian snorted in annoyance while watching Dustin with a condescending gaze. "A small company like Cloa, won't be able to survive for long without my help!"Dustin grinned in response to Ian's words. "I'm fine even if I don't cooperate with your company. It doesn't cost me anything."Honestly, Sarah thought so too. Their company needed cooperation to grow. Even though Cloa was a company owned by a famous person like Lewis, they still needed the effort to make it happen. Sarah rose slowly, looking at Dustin. "Sir, but our company is indeed a small company and needs cooperation with the Youth company. This cooperation is very valuable to us."Dustin gave Sarah a stern look. "I don't care." Dustin's gaze shifted to Ian, changing drastically to sharp. "I don't want to cooperate with a man who likes to harass h
Dustin wore black gloves. "I will teach you a lesson. I'm much stronger than you."Ian chuckled in annoyance. "What are you going to do, damn it? Let go of me quickly! You're going to get in trouble. My family is going to take revenge on you for this!"Dustin didn't seem to care about Ian's threats. "Do whatever it takes. I don't care. Your family won't be able to do anything to me."Dustin knew that the Lautzer family would not dare to do anything to him because some of the shares of their company belonged to the Kenderick family. He could even do anything to Ian without fear of retribution from anyone in the Lautzer family.Ian spat on the floor, then grunted in annoyance. His jaw hardened, and even his eyes were filled with hatred for Dustin. "Who do you think you are? You're just a poor, useless man! My family is a famous and wealthy family. Anyone would be afraid to deal with me!"Dustin raised both hands up. "That's other people, but not me. I'm not afraid of anyone, including y
Eri massaged her throbbing forehead. "Can't you just not make me angry for a day? If you can't do anything, at least don't interfere with Karina's work. What are we going to eat now? What about our daily needs? If Karina doesn't work, how can we survive?""It's all because of you, Dustin! You're always causing trouble in this family. I don't know what that old fart was thinking to set my daughter up with a useless man like you!" Jake clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his neck were visible."I can take Karina's place in supporting you. I can also fulfill your needs at home and anything else you want." Dustin said with confidence.Eri and Jake laughed and shook their heads, not believing what Dustin was saying. "Don't joke around! Have you forgotten, all this time you've been asking us for money just to buy vegetables. Now you say you want to support us? Are you dreaming? Snap out of it, you idiot!"Dustin approached Karina and grabbed her hand. He reached into his coat po
Danielle noticed Karina's uncharacteristic appearance when she accidentally met some time ago. "Why aren't you working? Or are you no longer working at the Youth company?"Karina and her parents looked at each other. "Yes, I no longer work there.""Oh, that's too bad. Now you're unemployed just like your husband, huh? Oh, no. I heard from Steve that your useless husband has found a job. That's good. It's the husband's job, right?" Danielle babbled in a tone of voice that sounded condescending to Karina.Karina was reluctant to answer Danielle's question but couldn't lie either. Karina's gaze was drawn to a man approaching them and approaching Danielle. The man wrapped his arms around Danielle's waist and then pecked Danielle's lips. Suddenly, Karina turned her gaze in the other direction, cursing. They were shameless, kissing in front of her and her parents.Danielle looked at Karina and her parents while stroking the man's chest beside her. "Introducing, this is Piere. He's my boyfri
Karina covered her mouth in disbelief at what Dustin had just said. Her eyes filled with tears. She jumped into Dustin's arms."I'm so happy, Dustin." Karina wiped away her tears while releasing a hug from Dustin. She held the man's hand. "Come on, let's go to the hospital now to make sure that your memory has indeed fully recovered."Dustin smiled, then nodded in agreement. "Alright." He also couldn't wait to find out.They quickly got into the car and ordered the driver to go to the hospital where Dustin usually went for medical checkups. As for Ludwig and Agnes, they left it to the bodyguards and nannies to take the sleeping children back home.Along the way, Karina continued to hold Dustin's hand with an indescribable feeling on her face. Her heart kept beating fast, eager to discover if Dustin's memory had fully recovered.When they arrived at the hospital, Dustin was immediately examined by a doctor. All the examination results will be known within the next 2 hours.Karina bit h
They decided to spend time together there, making a campfire on the beach and enjoying the small waves that occasionally came closer.Ludwig was having fun today. He ate the grilled corn and sausages with gusto. "This is fun. This place is also very beautiful and makes me happy."Karina nodded her head. "That's right. Mom is always happy to be here, too." She rested her head on Dustin's shoulder. "Now everything feels complete. This happiness, the children, and our togetherness."Dustin frowned as a memory flashed through his mind. "Ah, yes. I can remember that."Karina smiled happily. They watched Ludwig, who was feeding his new pet dog and looked at Agnes, who was already sleeping peacefully on the trolley.Dustin kissed Karina's forehead warmly. The images and flashbacks in his mind continued to swirl, showing how many memories it would be a shame for him to forget.Ludwig approached them while stroking his stomach, which looked slightly distended from overeating. "Mom, Dad, I'm sl
When they arrived home, they saw Clark waiting at their door. Ludwig and Agnes rushed into the house first, along with their maidservant. Meanwhile, Karina and Dustin approached Clark.Clark immediately stood up and bowed respectfully when he saw them. "Good afternoon. I'm sorry if I'm intruding."Albert immediately lowered his head when he saw Dustin glancing at him. Dustin's gaze seemed to ask why Clark wasn't waiting inside the house. Although Albert knew that Clark was the one who had saved his master, he didn't want to be presumptuous in inviting the white-haired man into the house without Dustin's permission."Not at all. Come on, come in." Dustin touched Clark's back, led him into the house, and sat together in the living room."You should have told me in advance that you were coming here so I wouldn't have gone anywhere and kept you waiting for a long time." Dustin felt bad for making Clark wait for him. He had no idea how long he had been waiting.Clark seemed to exhale softl
Axel bowed his body before Dustin, looking very sorry for this incident. "I apologize for this unpleasant incident."Dustin nodded slowly. "It doesn't matter. It's also my fault as a parent for not paying proper attention to my child."Axel did not expect that something like this would happen at his mall. The problem was it happened to Dustin. Axel felt bad.Dustin looked back, seeing how Ludwig was doing. "Are you okay?" Ludwig nodded his head. Dustin patted Ludwig lightly on the shoulder. "You're a very extraordinary boy. You don't have to fear anything if you're in the right situation."Dustin held his son's shoulders as he leaned over slightly, looking earnestly into his son's face. "If someone else wants to push you down, you have to push them back."Ludwig exhaled softly with a severe face. "Father, don't treat me like a child. Of course, I know that." He folded his arms across his chest. "You saw that yourself, right? I can deal with both of them."Dustin smiled, then hugged Lu
Karina immediately embraced Ludwig's body. The look on her face was one of deep concern. She had been trying to avoid approaching Ludwig, holding back the resentment and anger in her heart towards the man with glasses and his son."Are you okay? No injuries?" Karina watched Ludwig's face and body, who had been pushed several times until he almost fell.Ludwig only answered with a shake of his head.Dustin slammed Nueve's hand down so hard that the man took a few steps back and dropped his glasses. His nearsighted eyes squinted, trying to see who was before him."You're the father of this fucking kid?" Nueve tapped Dustin on the shoulder with the tip of her index finger. "Look at this!" He pointed at his glasses that had fallen to the floor. "You made my glasses fall off. Compensate now!" He clucked in annoyance while holding his head. "Ah, how unlucky I am to have met two damn people like this."Dustin remained silent, looking at Nueve with a sharp gaze. He was holding back his anger
"You've hurt my son." The man's voice was so loud that it scared Ludwig because he had never been yelled at like that by anyone, not even his parents.Ludwig was scolded by the man with glasses. The man's eyes were not good, so he thought that Ludwig was a damn person who abused his son."He's the one who's not careful." Ludwig tried to defend himself. He looked at the boy sharply."Don't be evasive." The boy pushed Ludwig's shoulder, causing Ludwig to take a few steps back. "You're the one who knocked me down." The boy held up his index finger, pointing at Ludwig, seemingly not wanting to take the blame for his actions earlier.Ludwig was waiting in line for his turn to play the basketball game, but since it was filled with kids who were quite a bit older than him, Ludwig decided not to play the game and left. But when he turned around, he accidentally bumped into the boy, knocking him to the floor.It wasn't all Ludwig's fault because the boy he hit was playing with his cell phone,
After breakfast, Karina took Dustin to the office where they used to spend time together doing their work. Dustin looked around and was surprised to see so many reports on the desk.Karina stroked the edge of the brown desk and looked at Dustin. "Actually, this is all your work, but I'm helping you finish it little by little even though it seems like the reports are never finished because they keep adding up every day."Karina picked up one of the files there and opened it, then handed it to Dustin. "Maybe you'll remember it better if you see this."Dustin took the file and looked at Karina. "So, this is all my work?" He did not expect his duties as the head of the Kenderick family to be this extraordinary. He opened the file and skimmed through it. "It's overwhelming and confusing."Karina nodded her head and sat on the table while gently stroking Dustin's shoulder. "At first, I also had a hard time working through all of this, but I forced myself and managed to do it." Karina smiled
Dustin nodded his head. "Yes, I'm fine." He raised both hands while smiling kindly. "As you can see."Clark nodded. He sat on the chair next to Dustin's bed. "I had no idea that you... ah, I mean, you were such a wonderful person." He smiled with a cautious-looking face. "You are the leader of the Kenderick family."Clark looked very awkward in Dustin's presence. Even now, he dared not look directly into Dustin's eyes. He only dared to glance occasionally.Dustin smiled at Clark's behavior, which was different from usual. "Just act normal. Don't be awkward or feel reluctant towards me. I already think of you as my friend."Clark smiled happily as he raised his hand. "This is truly a tremendous honor for me."Dustin shook his head with a soft sigh. "Don't overdo it. Just behave as you normally do. I am deeply indebted to you for taking such good care of me."Clark smiled as he bowed his head for a moment. "It's my duty as a doctor."Clark looked at Dustin. Although Dustin's memories we
Karina released her embrace from Dustin. She wiped away her tears, and then Dustin's hand gently wiped away the remaining tears on Karina's cheeks. The woman's face reddened slightly."So, are you my wife?" Dustin asked again to make sure. He was still not entirely sure because this felt strange to him. Even with all the images in his memory, it felt like something new.Karina nodded her head. "Yes, I am your wife." Karina stroked Dustin's face affectionately. "You are my most handsome husband."Karina's pupils lit up. The longing in her heart for Dustin was so great. She couldn't imagine if Dustin had died in the helicopter crash. She wasn't ready and never would be, especially with Ludwig and Agnes still young. They desperately needed Dustin's love.Karina smiled, lowering her hand carefully. "You are a great person. You protected me under any circumstances. You were even willing to risk your life for me several times." Karina tried to unlock Dustin's memories. "You were very good a
