Dustin looked for an opening to fight the mugging in front of him. He had studied martial arts at the high school, so he knew what parts of the human body could easily defeat with just a few moves. Moreover, he learned self-defence when under pressure, such as an opponent pointing a sharp weapon at him.Dustin raised his hand quickly to hit the arm near the armpit of the snatcher. Instantly the sharp weapon in the man's hand fell. Dustin immediately seized the opportunity to kick the snatcher's legs, then hit the snatcher in the stomach and head until he fell helplessly to the ground.Dustin squatted down with a grin, taking the bag from the snatcher's hand. "Don't underestimate me."The few people who were near Dustin immediately approached them and stared in admiration at Dustin because, in just a few moves, he had managed to knock out the bad guy. "I can't believe you could defeat him so easily.""That's amazing. No one ever wanted to deal with that guy before. Moreover, some time
Vera pushed Dustin until he crashed into the table behind him."Damn man!" She shot Carla a glare as she pointed an index finger in Carla's face. "Hey, just so you know, this guy is a useless man! He always brings shame to his wife's family! Ah, but this is good for Karina because she won't be with Dustin anymore.""What are you talking about? I really don't understand. Why are you accusing me so carelessly? I don't think I did the things you're accusing me of!" Carla didn't accept it and didn't want to get a bad name and be accused of being a womanizer.Vera snorted in annoyance as she folded her arms across her chest. "No need to pretend you don't know. You lowly woman! Just admit that you had an affair with Dustin. Isn't there another guy you could date?""Shut that mouth of yours!" Dustin glared at Vera, not liking the insults Vera was hurling at Dustin.Vera ruffled her waist with one hand, pointing an index finger before Dustin's face. "Oh, you dare to yell at me. Who are you? Y
Karina felt bad for not believing Dustin's words. After the news, Karina turned off the television and entered the room. However, Dustin was already asleep. Karina left it alone because she didn't feel comfortable waking Dustin up.The next morning, Karina woke up. She blinked her eyes a few times, then saw that Dustin wasn't in the room. She wondered where he had gone since it was still too early to go to work. Until she heard the sound of the water tap from inside the bathroom."Oh, maybe he's cleaning up." Karina sat on the edge of the bed while remembering what she had said to Dustin last night. She shouldn't have said such harsh things to Dustin.Dustin came out of the bathroom, already wearing a change of clothes inside. Their eyes looked at each other. Karina got up and slowly approached Dustin. "I want to apologize to you for not trusting you."Dustin smiled and nodded his head. "It's no problem. I understand what you did."Dustin was not angry at Karina at all. "Do you want t
Quine and her boyfriend laughed at Karina's story. They couldn't believe that Dustin was the leader of the Cloa company. Willy, Quine's boyfriend, chuckled and shook his head. "Are you fantasizing? Don't make up stories to get praise. Just admit that you're useless."Willy smiled at the insult Quine had just thrown at Karina. He embraced his lover intimately in front of Dustin and Karina. "Maybe she envies you for being my lover. While her husband is poor and useless. He has nothing to show off."Quine grinned as he folded his arms across his chest. "Oh my, Karina. You're such a shameless woman. Lying just to get recognition that you're better than me? Everyone also knows that you're not a lucky woman to get a man like him, so you don't need to make up stories like that."Karina was furious. She firmly memorized both hands. "I'm not lying. Dustin is indeed the leader of the Cloa company."Willy shook his head while sneering at Karina. "Wow, Quine. That friend of yours really sucks. He
Karina was still unhappy about the incident with Quine and Willy. Arriving at the yard, she exited the car with a crumpled look. "I feel guilty for recognizing your friend's car as our car. I'm just annoyed at them for insulting us."Dustin also felt guilty for lying to Karina. He got out of the car and approached his wife. "This car is indeed my car. I lied to you by telling you it was my friend's because you wouldn't believe it was mine either."Karina frowned. She did not believe Dustin's words. "But you can't possibly have such a luxurious car, right. Where did the money come from?"Dustin smiled slightly. "I knew it. Don't worry about it. Let's just say that this car is my friend's car. I'm going to work now."Dustin returned to the car and drove off, leaving Karina frozen in place. Karina thought that even if the car belonged to Dustin, maybe Dustin had gotten a loaner car from the company provided by Lewis.After feeling far enough away from the house, Dustin pulled his vehicle
Willy grabbed his own hair in frustration, kicking back a nearby table. "Damn it! Then who did this? I'm sure that your friend's husband did it!"Quine smiled faintly while chuckling in annoyance. "Yeah, geez. Dustin wouldn't be able to do anything, let alone destroy your company like this. You're better than him. Come on, you're just overreacting. This isn't Dustin's doing. It's probably your competitors."Willy stared intently at Quine. His jaw hardened to the point that the veins around his neck were visibly poking out. "What? Are you saying I'm overreacting? Didn't you see what car he was wearing this morning? That's a luxury car that only has 3 units in the world and you know it! Just looking at his car tells you who he is. He's not a random person! And you said I was overreacting!"Quine massaged her sore forehead, then glared at Willy. "Then you believe that it's his car? He said he works at the Cloa company, so if that's true, the car must belong to Mr. Lewis. He just borrowed
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 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
