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
Dustin and Karina went into the room. There, Dustin was quite stunned because the state of his room was still the same as before. Nothing had changed in his room, in fact, everything was still very neat and clean. Karina sat on the edge of the bed, then was distracted by a picture frame of a middle-aged woman on the bedside table. "Is this your mother, Dustin?"Dustin turned his head in the direction Karina was pointing and sat on the edge of the bed. He grabbed the picture frame and stared at it intently. "Yes, she's my mom."Karina gently stroked Dustin's arm. Dustin put the picture frame back on the nightstand. Sadly, he didn't want to ruin the moment between them by remembering his mother. Dustin smiled as he stroked Karina's cheek. "Are you happy to be here?"Karina nodded her head quickly. "Yes, of course. I'm very happy to meet your father. Although at first I was afraid that your father wouldn't accept me."Dustin nodded his head. He was also actually afraid that his father wo
Because Dustin had returned to the Kenderick family. Yosan immediately prepared a party to welcome the return of the heir. All the servants were busy preparing for the party. Starting from the decorations and party arrangements, it was specially designed by famous designers and building designers. Not half-heartedly, Yosan brought in experts in their fields. Yosan wanted to give the best welcome party for Dustin.The other members of the Kenderick family were annoyed because they thought Yosan was too much. They didn't even participate in helping prepare the party. They just watched with annoyance. Merry, Yosan's sister, who was none other than Thomas's mother, was even haughty and snappy to the servants, showing her dislike clearly."How annoying. My son should be the heir to the Kenderick family. Yosan is indeed unfair. His son, who has left the family, is made the heir instead." Merry cursed in annoyance. She left the party room, pulling herself together to go to the mall.One day
Dustin led Karina out of the building where the party was being held. Karina threw Dustin's hand out of hers. Karina looked at Dustin with an annoyed look on her face. "Can you explain what exactly happened here? Who is that woman? Is she really your fiancée that you're supposed to marry? Explain it to me, Dustin."Dustin looked intently at Karina's face, then explained about the woman who claimed to be his ex-fiancée. "Yes, the woman with the short hair is my fiancée. Her name is Zeya, but we're not that close. I just thought of her as a friend. She once tried to betray me and I even saw her kissing another man." Dustin smiled slightly as he recalled the incident. "The thing I remember the most and can't forget, is that he didn't sympathize when I lost my mother. That's why I distanced myself from Zeya. After that, I had a conflict with my father."Karina nodded her head, listening to everything Dustin said. "But it seems like she's still expecting you, Dustin. She claims to be your
Dustin's facial expression remained unchanged even though he heard the shouting voice of Karina, who immediately ran towards him. "Dustin!"Karina, looking worried with teary eyes, immediately checked Dustin's condition. She held Dustin's head and felt his body to ensure nothing was hurt. "Are you okay? Nothing got hurt, right?"Dustin only replied with a nod, then looked at Thomas, who seemed to smile while raising his hands casually. "I'm sorry, I accidentally shot at you. My hands were slippery with sweat."Oscar and Julian laughed at Karina, who seemed to overreact to Thomas' stray shot at Dustin. Julian grinned at Dustin, who was now also looking at him coldly. "Why, things like that often happen at the shooting range."The servants who were there became tense. They felt a different atmosphere and could only look at each other. Albert, who had been in the place watching them from afar, approached Dustin but at a great distance from the battlefield. "Are you alright, sir?"Dustin
Karina widened her eyes perfectly at Dustin's words. "Are you serious? If your cousin has the nerve to almost kill you, that means you're in a very dangerous situation, Dustin. What if he does the same thing again? I'm afraid something bad will happen to you, Dustin."Karina looked anxious, thinking about what might happen to Dustin. Dustin grasped Karina's hands tightly while staring intently into his wife's eyes. "Take it easy, he won't be able to touch me."Even so, Karina still did not feel at ease. Judging from how Thomas looked at Dustin, Karina could guess that Thomas did not like Dustin, who was now the heir to the Kenderick family. However, Karina didn't want to show her anxiety before Dustin. She could only hope that Dustin was doing well and was always under protection.***After a few days of officially becoming the heir to the Kenderick family, Dustin finally returned to work at the Kenderick family's main company. He walked in with great dignity. All the workers there se
Dustin and Karina got up from their seats with confused and panicked looks. "What's going on?"From a distance, they saw many people running frantically and even bumping into each other, which made the situation chaotic. The streets crowded with vehicles also experienced severe traffic jams, and the people in the car immediately got out running around. The shooting was a robbery at a jewelry store near their place. Everyone ran away from there and made the atmosphere chaotic. Many screams and cries were heard. Moreover, from a distance, the robbers were seen brandishing their guns with the triggers pulled, ready to shoot anyone considered rebellious."Dustin," Karina called out in a low voice. Dustin quickly grabbed Karina's wrist and ran away like the others."No one move. Otherwise, I'll shoot you all!" The robbers gave orders to everyone. Suddenly, the people who were there immediately covered their ears in fear. The robbers ordered people to squat and stay still.Things became eve
Karina's pupils fluttered at the horrifying sight before her. Her body trembled as she saw so much blood around them. She was afraid that something terrible would happen to Dustin, but it turned out that Dustin was still standing straight in front of her because it turned out that the gunshots came from the troops ordered by Albert to come to protect Dustin and Karina. Albert himself also came there to defend his master.Albert, who had shot the robber, had almost injured Dustin by pointing a gun at his master. Albert's shot pierced the robber's back right in the heart, which made the robber immediately collapse helplessly on the ground. Albert approached Dustin with a worried look on his face. "Are Mr. and Miss well?"Dustin nodded his head. He saw Karina's body shivering. Suddenly, Dustin immediately hugged Karina tightly and looked at her closely. "Calm down, it's okay. We're already safe. Follow me. Take a deep breath ...." Karina followed Dustin's directions in front of her. "Exh
