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
Karina's family and Grayson's family were shocked to hear that. Even everyone who was there looked at Dustin in disbelief. The reporters were silent momentarily in shock, then they took pictures of Dustin and Yosan. Various questions from the reporters could be heard filling the room."Is that man really your son? Why has his identity been unknown all this time and why are you introducing him to the world today?" One journalist from a private television station asked the loudest question of all.More questions followed, making the atmosphere noisy and chaotic. Yosan glanced at Albert and the organizers. The organizers immediately raised their hands as a sign to tell them to be quiet. "Please calm down everyone. We will answer some of your questions. Please be orderly and don't take many pictures."The journalists slowly became silent. They all stopped taking pictures. The organizer respectfully raised his hand to Yosan to answer some crucial questions that needed to be answered, while
Karina left the house, going to the park near her apartment to calm down. She leaned her back against the back of a park chair. She couldn't believe that Dustin had been behind her all this time. Karina thought she was lucky to be able to work at Kenderick's subsidiary because of her abilities, but it turned out that it was because of Dustin's help. She also remembered why Dustin could buy a luxury car, spend on his parents, take luxurious vacations, and even have a black card that had been used so many times that he could buy a private luxury yacht.Karina lowered her head while grabbing her hair roughly. "I should have known and guessed that. No wonder he also seems to be close to Mr. Albert and Mr. Lewis, it turns out that Dustin is a person of honor and respect to them."Karina became even more upset that Dustin was keeping such a big secret. She felt like Dustin had tricked her. However, Karina also wondered why Dustin would keep this secret. Murder? Karina didn't believe in that
Karina reflected on what she had done to Dustin. The talk about her husband kept coming up, making her feel even more guilty. Karina thought it wouldn't hurt to hear why Dustin hid everything. Karina knew that Dustin was not a bad man. She nodded her head, reassuring herself. "Yes, there must be a reason. I have to know." Karina got up from her chair and left the ice cream shop after making the payment.***Karina returned to the apartment. She looked away when she met Dustin's gaze, then went to the kitchen. Dustin only watched Karina from the living room because he thought that Karina was still angry and didn't want to talk to him.Karina came home with something for Dustin. It was food that she had bought on the way home. Karina unwrapped the food and prepared it alone in the kitchen for dinner with Dustin. Karina brought the two plates containing her and Dustin's dinner to the dining room, placed the food on the plates, and then brought them to the dining table. "Dinner."Dustin t
Now that everyone knew Dustin's identity, he thought it was time to introduce Karina as his wife to the Kenderick family. "You said you've never met a Kenderick family member, do you want to meet them now?"Karina's brow furrowed. She chuckled at Dustin's question. "I've already met you. Directly with the heir."Dustin smiled slightly. "It's not like that." He took Karina's hand. "I want to introduce you to my extended family. Do you want to?"Karina was stunned to hear that. Of course, she was thrilled. She was going to meet her father-in-law. Karina could only answer with a nod of her head. Dustin was happy with Karina's answer. "Then, tomorrow we'll go to the Kenderick family's house."***The day Karina was looking forward to finally arrived. Karina and Dustin were dressed neatly. They had been ready since this morning. Eri and Jake, who saw their appearance, looked different from usual. Eri examined Karina's clothes. "Where are you two going? Why do you look so neat?"Karina and
