Dustin enjoyed his time at the office. He had finished signing all the proposals and documents that needed to be signed. Dustin sipped his black coffee that he made himself in the office pantry. His face looked happy, with a faint smile on it.Dustin shifted his gaze to where his cell phone was when it rang, signalling an incoming call. He looked at the flat screen and saw Albert's name. He couldn't wait to hear from Albert."Sir, I have carried out your orders. The SE.Corp company has been destroyed. Below, I am sending you a link to the news that is currently the topic of conversation." Albert delivered the information Dustin was waiting for politely."Good. Thank you." Dustin hung up the phone and immediately checked the link Albert had just sent via message.Dustin opened the webpage and read it. The news showed some camouflaged video footage with related information about a famous model named Quine. Quine's disgrace was listed in full on several of these internet pages.Dustin al
Dustin was silent. He looked at Karina, who still looked upset after venting the various questions in her head. Dustin laid back down. "I didn't do anything corrupt. You don't have to think much about anything. Take it easy. I didn't do anything bad."Karina gave a small snort at Dustin's answer. She was already tired of thinking about Dustin's unreasonable behavior. She decided to go to sleep. After Karina was asleep, Dustin grabbed his cell phone and went to the bathroom.Dustin dialed Albert's number. He didn't expect Albert to pick up his phone as usual, even though it was late at night. "May I help you, sir?""Did my call wake you up?" Dustin felt bad for calling Albert so early in the morning.Albert shook his head. "No problem, sir. I am at your service anytime and anywhere. What can I do, sir?""I want you to prepare a wonderful gift for Uncle Gerald's birthday. He is the leader of the family, the most respected person in the Grayson family." Dustin explained Gerald's status s
Karina quickly changed into the room. She was out in just a few minutes. Dustin was stunned to see Karina's appearance, who looked charming in a dress that fit her body to the ankles. The shoes worn by Karina also matched the color of the dress.Now, the clothes worn by Karina and Dustin look harmonious and compact with matching colors. Dustin, who originally only wore simple garments, finally agreed to Karina's request to change into a navy-colored suit that Dustin planned to wear for work only. But coincidentally, Eri also chose a dress with matching colors for Karina. So their appearance looks like a real married couple."Wow, my daughter is really beautiful." Eri and Jake both praised Karina's beauty. "Then, let's go now. The party will start soon."They got into Dustin's car. Eri frowned as Dustin's hands looked empty. "You've prepared a gift for Gerald, right?""I have. Mom, take it easy." Dustin replied casually.Jake looked sharply at Dustin, annoyance still on his face. "Just
Bella snorted in annoyance. She looked at Karina, who was not far from them. "Karina, try to teach your husband to behave better occasionally so that he doesn't always cause embarrassment. At least for today since it's Uncle Gerald's birthday party."Karina rolled her eyes, looking away. Whenever Dustin was talked about and humiliated by members of the Grayson family, Karina and her parents' names were brought up. Even though they hadn't done anything.Erick nodded his head, responding to Bella's words. "Yes, you're absolutely right. Stupid people like Dustin, must always be taught first. If you don't teach him, what happens is like this. Now what, the party that just started is ruined.""Yes, that's right. It's all a mess." The invited guests began to open their voices to defend Erick and Bella."He's always an embarrassment. He shouldn't have been invited to such an important event." The voices of rejection from others were again heard and even agreed upon by many people.Erick grin
Everyone there seemed surprised at the beauty of the stone that sparkled in the light from the luxurious brooch. They even whispered in amazement at the gift Dustin had brought."It's really amazing. That peridot stone is very expensive, plus it's a beautiful color." The voice of a male guest who was amazed."It's a dream stone among my friends because the color is so pretty to be used as a necklace and ring gem." The female guest beside the man looked amazed at the peridot stone that was a decoration on Gerald's brooch.Bella and Erick couldn't take all the admiring words for Dustin. Erick chuckled in annoyance, then shouted in a loud voice. "Alah, that must be a cheap stone. There are plenty of cheap imitation peridot stones. He must have bought that just to impress us, when in fact it's just a fake stone!"Bella nodded her head while crossing her arms over her chest. "Of course. A poor guy like Dustin wouldn't be able to afford a real peridot stone that's so expensive."Everyone wa
Everyone there didn't understand what Dustin was saying. They guessed that what was invisible did not mean it did not exist or vice versa. Dustin's words managed to make everyone's mouths shut as they asked each other the meaning of the man's words.Gerald cleared his throat. He raised both hands up. "Please pay attention everyone. We'd better get back to the party. There is no need to prolong a meaningless matter."The master of ceremonies nodded, then gave the code to the music director at the back of the stage so that the melodious music resumed. "All right, ladies and gentlemen. The prize-giving session is over. Let's enjoy the special dishes already lined up on the table there. Thank you to all the guests for coming and giving such wonderful gifts, and best wishes for happiness and success to Mr Gerald."Everyone clapped their hands in celebration. The main program of Gerald's birthday party was over. Dustin and Karina returned to their positions to join Eri and Jake. They enjoye
Karina followed Dustin all the way to the cafe. She saw Dustin talking to Lewis but couldn't hear what they were talking about because her table was quite far away.Karina played with her fingertips on the table while pretending to look at the menu book. "What exactly are they talking about? They don't look like the owner and leader of the company. Could it be true that the friend Dustin is referring to is Mr. Lewis? But why would Mr. Lewis trust Dustin with everything?"Karina thought the meeting between Dustin and Lewis would last for a long time, but it didn't take more than half an hour for them to chat, after which Lewis left Dustin's presence. This was an opportunity for Karina to find out what they were talking about by asking Dustin directly.Karina got up from her chair, about to approach Dustin. But her footsteps stopped when she saw a woman who had been saved by Dustin appear. "That's the woman in the photo when Dustin caught the mugging that Vera sent me, right?"Carla wav
Karina rolled her eyes, got up and left Dustin. Meanwhile, Dustin looked confused and thought that Karina was jealous of him. He smiled at the thought. Dustin slipped ten dollars into the bill on the table and got up to go after Karina. But it turned out that Karina was already gone, leaving in her own car.Dustin smiled slightly as he stuffed his hands into his pants pockets. "Are you starting to like me, Karina?" He muttered to himself as he shook his head, then went to the parking lot to drive his car back to work at the office.On the other hand, Albert met Lewis at the cafe. The meeting really made Lewis feel happy and honoured. They faced each other seriously as if they were having an important business meeting.Albert's eyes looked deeply into Lewis'. "Sir, my intention in meeting you was to thank you for your actions. But Mr Yosan said Mr Dustin should not work at your company. Mr Dustin should be in a higher place. Working at Cloa is not right for him. So, Mr Dustin will no l
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
