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
Thomas found out what happened to Dustin from one of the servants who he intentionally spied on to tell him what was happening inside the Kenderick family's main house where Dustin was currently living. Thomas became very upset at the news. "Damn. That Dustin should have just died there so I could take his place as heir."Thomas threw out his hand, hitting the wind in annoyance. A white, delicate female hand suddenly held Thomas's face gently. That woman was Zeya. They had been drinking alcohol together. Zeya kissed Thomas gently on the lips. The smell of alcohol from the woman's mouth was powerful in Thomas' nose, as well as Thomas' mouth. They kissed momentarily, then Zeya stroked Thomas' cheek while looking at him intensely. "Don't worry, we'll win in the end.""You're right, Zeya." Thomas smiled, then wrapped his arms around Zeya's waist, kissing again.***The next day, Dustin had ordered one of the drivers to pick up his two in-laws early in the morning. Eri and Jake, who had be
Karina bowed her head while covering her face with both palms. "Oh my, Mom. Why give me a present like this? How embarrassing." Eri chuckled in annoyance while shaking her head. "What? You don't like it? So what if I gave you that gift? You must serve Dustin well. Make him always feel comfortable around you. Don't let anyone else tease him." "But, Mom ...." Karina exhaled while leaning her back against the back of the chair. "Not in this outfit, right?" "Already, just wear it in front of Dustin." Eri got up and put the lingerie on Karina's lap, then pulled Karina's wrists to get up and push her body. "There, go into the room." Karina was hesitant to step into the room. She slowly entered the room and went to the bathroom to change her clothes. After changing into the lingerie Eri gave her, Karina looked at herself in the mirror. Just looking at her reflection embarrassed her, let alone looking like that in front of Dustin. Just imagining it made the blood flow all over her body sco
Dustin was on his laptop, inputting statistics for a company he was running with a client. Suddenly he got a phone call from Eri. Dasin immediately picked up the phone call while continuing his work staring at the laptop monitor screen. "Yes, what's wrong, ma'am?" "Dustin, help us!" Eri's voice sounded panicked and hoarse. Suddenly, Dustin was shocked. Dustin immediately put down his laptop and stood up, worried and curious about what happened to Eri. "Why, what happened, ma'am?" "Help us. We're hurt badly, Dustin. Karina... Karina too ...." Eri's disjointed words were interspersed with sobs. It made Dustin even more panicked and worried about what was happening to them. "What's wrong with Karina, Mom?" Dustin panicked. He rubbed his face roughly, waiting impatiently for an answer from Eri. "Karina... she disappeared!" Eri cried hysterically. "We don't know where she went. You were shopping and suddenly someone attacked us. My husband and I were badly injured, while Karina disapp
Karina cried hysterically in fear as Julian's blood continued pouring out of the back of the man's head. Dustin immediately ran to Karina and hugged his wife's body tightly. "Calm down. I'm with you now." Dustin tied the ropes on his hands and feet because. The strings were hard enough to make Karina's hands and feet red. Karina winced in pain. When the ropes were untied, Karina rushed into Dustin's arms. She cried in Dustin's arms because she was actually scared. "I'm scared, Dustin. I tried to be brave in front of him; I shook so much that it felt like my heart stopped. I'm really very scared." Dustin stroked Karina's hair with affection. "Yes, I know that. I'm sorry, Karina. I couldn't take good care of you." Dustin released his embrace from Karina. He held Karina's face and checked the wound from Julian's slap on Karina's face. "Does your cheek still hurt?" Karina only answered with a shake of her head, even though her cheek was still hot and sore. Dustin helped Karina to get
