After spending time on the beach until sunset, they cleaned up and had dinner in the luxurious dining room. All the sumptuous food was already on the table. From pasta, steaks, and other heavy meals from various countries.Eri's eyes lit up, seeing all the delicious and luxurious food on the table. She gently nudged Jake's arm. "This is so amazing. It's like we're in a fancy restaurant."The waiters pulled out all the chairs at the table, then raised their hands while bowing their heads respectfully. "Please."They all sat down. The servants served them superbly, even treating them like kings and queens. Napkins were placed on their thighs, drinks were poured, and appetizers were brought. Karina and her parents were pleased because this was their first time treated like rich people. There was even an art performance in front of them, as if they were in a fancy restaurant. The mini-orchestra performed a beautiful song, making their dinner more comfortable. It was a great vacation, and
Karina was amazed by what Dustin did. She didn't expect that Dustin would have such incredible hand speed. The servers, admiring Dustin earlier, looked at Dustin with sparkling eyes while whispering to each other. "Did you see that? Mr. Dustin caught that glass quickly without spilling a single drop of juice in it.""Yes, Mr. Dustin is very cool. He is a perfect man. It's amazing." They were even more amazed by Dustin. Their eyes couldn't take their eyes off Dustin.Of course, that made Karina even more annoyed. Dustin brought the juice glass back to Karina. Karina stared at Dustin for a moment, then exhaled and took the sip in Dustin's hand roughly. "Alright, I'll drink it."But before Karina managed to drink the juice made by Dustin, Jake suddenly came and took the glass in Karina's hand, then drank the juice with gusto until there was nothing left. "Wow, that's amazing. This juice is delicious. It turns out you're good at making refreshing juices like this, Dustin. It's a coinciden
Karina still felt upset but couldn't do anything else because her body felt weak. So, in the end, she could only stay on Dustin's lap. Dustin carried Karina's body back to the villa. The servants who saw them immediately smiled happily with embarrassment because they thought that Dustin and Karina had improved and were in a romantic state."Look, they are indeed a very romantic couple. How sweet. I was worried that Miss Karina would get mad at Mr. Dustin, but look at them now, they're like a princess and a prince. How adorable is that?" The maids, praising Dustin and admiring the man, whispered quietly with embarrassed smiles.Karina's parents, relaxing in the living room, looked at them while shaking their heads. Eri folded her hands in front of her chest. "Yes, my goodness. Are you still newlyweds? Make out in your room, not here!"Dustin did not lower Karina's body. He stared at his in-laws. "Karina was wrapped around a snake, that's why I carried her because she was weak and could
Eri widened her eyes perfectly. She was angry and did not accept Nora's accusation. Eri lifted her chin up with a glare. "What treasure are you talking about? I've never taken or stolen anything from you!" Nora snorted in annoyance as she rolled her eyes. "Nonsense! You think I don't know what you're up to? Your family life changed so drastically, it must be because you stole my property, right?" Eri chuckled in annoyance while shaking her head. "Oh my, Nora. What treasure are you talking about? Are you jealous of me now that I'm richer than you?" Nora chuckled. Arrogantly folded her arms across her chest. "That's impossible, Eri. Never mind, Eri. Just admit that you've taken my property. Some time ago, my expensive diamond necklace went missing. I'm sure it must have been you who stole it!" Eri and Jake refused to do so. Jake gave his brother-in-law a sharp look. "If your diamond necklace is missing, why are you accusing Eri of stealing it? Are you out of your mind?" Nora's eyes
Dustin's statement just now made Nora even more upset. She wasn't happy with Eri's life, which had now changed for the better and could even be considered equal to her. Nora always wanted her sister's family to be below and the lowest of the other Grayson families. Even when Karina married Dustin, it was a very happy day. The insults about Eri only increased. Moreover, everyone knew that Dustin was just a poor, useless, unemployed man. Nora felt victorious over Eri.Nora clenched her fists tightly. She clucked in annoyance while glaring sarcastically. "Only 150 million dollars is already proud. It's still not much because I can have more than that. Even Ellan's wedding will be bigger than that. My daughter Ellan is getting married to Riot. It's going to be very lavish and it's going to cost a lot of money."Hearing Riot's name mentioned, Eri's eyes widened perfectly. Riot was one of the sons of a big official, the son of a respected finance minister in the city. Eri was very surprised
A few days after the incident, Dustin was doing his usual activities. There was a knock on the apartment door. Dustin immediately opened the door, and there stood a man who was a waiter in the apartment building. The servant bowed his head respectfully before Dustin. "Excuse me, sir. I would like to extend an invitation to your family from Madame Nora."The maid extended her hand to Dustin, handing him an invitation letter of thick paper with a navy-colored ribbon. Dustin nodded his head as he took the invitation letter. "Thank you."The waiter bowed his head respectfully. "Excuse me, sir." He excused himself from Dustin's presence. Dustin re-entered the apartment.Eri, who had heard Nora's name mentioned earlier, became curious. "Is that a wedding invitation from Nora?""Yes," Dustin replied as he handed the invitation letter to Eri. Eri looked excited to receive the invitation letter. Not because she was happy but because she was curious and wanted to prove that the groom was indeed
Riot's eyes widened perfectly when she heard that. She was shocked. She wondered in her heart, how could the police know that? She tried to act calm. "Sorry, what are you talking about, sir? I didn't do what you're accusing me of. How could I have done such a shameful thing?"The police chief looked at Riot with an incredulous look. "There's no need to be evasive, sir. Based on the evidence, the victim's testimony, and the witnesses who reported you, you have committed an offense against a minor. Therefore, we hope that you will cooperate and come with us to the police station by all means."The police chief signaled to his men to arrest Riot, and Riot panicked when two policemen stood beside him while holding his hands. "Wait, what is this? You can't just take me away. Where's the evidence? You must be making this up.""Mr. Riot, please calm down and come with us. You'll have to explain at the police station." The chairman raised his hand, ordering his men to immediately take Riot ou
Dustin knew that he couldn't keep hiding like this forever. Eventually, Thomas would find out where he was. Moreover, his cousin's ambition to usurp Dustin's position as heir to the Kenderick family was growing. After Dustin met with Thomas that day at the Kenderick family home, Albert repeatedly told him that Thomas already knew about him, although he didn't know exactly which city. Dustin planned to confess who he really was to everyone because no matter how evasive, Dustin was the heir to the Kenderick family.After Nora left, Dustin also left Karina. Of course, this left Karina confused. Karina chased Dustin to the front door of the building. "Where are you going, Dustin?""I have some business to take care of. You should go home with mom and dad first. When you get home, you should watch the news tonight."Eri and Jake frowned. They didn't understand why Dustin would say something like that. Eri snorted in annoyance. "What's going to be on the news tonight? The broadcast about th
