Karina followed Dustin all the way to the cafe. She saw Dustin talking to Lewis but couldn't hear what they were talking about because her table was quite far away.Karina played with her fingertips on the table while pretending to look at the menu book. "What exactly are they talking about? They don't look like the owner and leader of the company. Could it be true that the friend Dustin is referring to is Mr. Lewis? But why would Mr. Lewis trust Dustin with everything?"Karina thought the meeting between Dustin and Lewis would last for a long time, but it didn't take more than half an hour for them to chat, after which Lewis left Dustin's presence. This was an opportunity for Karina to find out what they were talking about by asking Dustin directly.Karina got up from her chair, about to approach Dustin. But her footsteps stopped when she saw a woman who had been saved by Dustin appear. "That's the woman in the photo when Dustin caught the mugging that Vera sent me, right?"Carla wav
Karina rolled her eyes, got up and left Dustin. Meanwhile, Dustin looked confused and thought that Karina was jealous of him. He smiled at the thought. Dustin slipped ten dollars into the bill on the table and got up to go after Karina. But it turned out that Karina was already gone, leaving in her own car.Dustin smiled slightly as he stuffed his hands into his pants pockets. "Are you starting to like me, Karina?" He muttered to himself as he shook his head, then went to the parking lot to drive his car back to work at the office.On the other hand, Albert met Lewis at the cafe. The meeting really made Lewis feel happy and honoured. They faced each other seriously as if they were having an important business meeting.Albert's eyes looked deeply into Lewis'. "Sir, my intention in meeting you was to thank you for your actions. But Mr Yosan said Mr Dustin should not work at your company. Mr Dustin should be in a higher place. Working at Cloa is not right for him. So, Mr Dustin will no l
Rumours spread about the Kendrick family that it would expand by creating a new company that would become another big one. Of course, this made the people who worked and were loyal to the Kendrick family very busy taking care of the work issues.Some of the big projects that were underway had to be completed quickly because Yosan wanted it to maintain the construction of his new company. Several additional bodyguards were hired to keep the project completion process from getting in the way.The rumour also invited everyone in Meldham City to prepare their companies. They wanted to get a chance to cooperate with one of Kenderick's subsidiaries to rise higher. The partnership would bring them significant benefits. They would be more prosperous, and of course, there would be many lucrative business opportunities if they cooperated with Kendrick's company."Ah, damn. The expenditure data do not match the income data. This could affect the company's performance if I hand it over later. I w
William laughed out loud with his sharp eyes staring at Dustin even though both of his hands were restrained by the two bodyguards as if there was no fear. "Don't dream so much, damn it! Having just been appointed Cloa's leader, you're already arrogant and acting up. You have nothing on me. Even the company you lead is smaller than mine!"William threw his arms out again, trying to break free. But the two bodyguards tightened their grip. One of them even took the chair away from William. The bodyguard kept the chair and kept other objects away from William that could possibly harm Dustin.William's breathing was ragged with anger. He did not accept what the two bodyguards did. "You can't do this to me, you bastard!"Dustin grinned. His eyes were wide, but he could see the glint in William's sharp eyes as if he wanted to kill him. He just quietly leaned against the table while watching William, who was struggling to break free from the grip of two bodyguards.William snorted in annoyan
William got several incoming messages on his cell phone. He opened it immediately, and it turned out to be a message from his secretary. William immediately opened the message, constantly reading it. His eyes widened perfectly when he found out the content of the message. He looked pleased because the Kendrick family invited him to the hotel to attend an event.William raised his hands happily while shouting. "I finally managed to get that cooperation. This will be a good thing. With this, my company will rise again and beat the other companies!"William grinned as his competitors for this partnership were many big companies. He did not expect to get this opportunity. He got up and cast his eyes around. "I have to get ready."William immediately went to the shopping center. He bought some fancy clothes and a small gift: a blue gem brooch. William sold some of his watches to get the blue jeweled brooch first. The Kendrick family gathering will be held tonight at seven o'clock. William
Everyone, there was shocked, especially Karina, because she didn't feel like she had applied for a job or registered for the competition to get cooperation with Kenderick's company. William and Karina's other cousins shook their heads in disbelief at Albert's decision.They looked at Karina sharply. "Why her? She's not fit to get this cooperation. She's not even working, how could she get the project?"Steve snorted in annoyance. "Isn't this the wrong decision? The project won't work if one of the parties doesn't own the company. You seem to be mistaken." He didn't accept that Karina had just arrived and was immediately singled out."Yes, that's right. Perhaps you are wrong, sir." Karina's other cousin chimed in and doubted Albert's decision.Albert raised both hands up in a gesture ordering them to be quiet. "My decision is absolute and inviolable. Besides, I didn't just choose. Miss Karina's abilities are better than all of you.""What? How can that be?" They were all surprised to h
Dustin and Karina were shocked. Their car had stopped with a puff of smoke in front of the hood. Karina coughed, waving her hand in front of her face. Their foreheads were slightly injured from the violent impact. Dustin looked back through the glass above his head. The car that hit from behind had also experienced the same thing. There was even more black smoke than the hood of the vehicle.Dustin got out of the car, followed by Karina. Both of their legs felt weak. At the same time, the car door that hit them opened. There was a child from another prominent family, the Peterson family. The man who appeared was Enzo Peterson.Enzo coughed while waving his hands in the air. He staggered to his feet. "Hey, can't you drive well? Why are you going so slow? You're blocking my way to crash like this!"Karina approached with a furrowed brow, trying to recognize the figure in front of her due to the large amount of smoke around them. "Are you okay?"Seeing that it was Karina, Enzo, who had b
All the people who came separated them. "Stop fighting already! You'll cause a traffic jam if you continue!"Enzo did not accept this. His anger was still high. He threw away some of the people's hands that were holding him. "Let go! He's a lousy guy who drives slowly. People like him endanger others. That's why he should compensate. Look at how my car got damaged because of him. Oh, or do you not want to pay for it because you don't have any money?"Enzo, who kept looking for a defense for the citizens, annoyed Dustin. Dustin looked at Enzo sarcastically while chuckling. "Such an ugly car, of course, I can replace it easily."Enzo snorted in annoyance while rolling his eyes. "How pretentious. I can't believe it. You definitely don't have the money to compensate, right? Someone like you wouldn't be able to replace my luxurious car. Even your two months' salary at Cloa won't cover the loss. You're such a lousy person! Poor and useless! You'll be like that forever!"Dustin reached into
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
