The Return Of The Billionaire's Grandson. (Their Regret) Chapter 16
Ruby could tell that her father was growing impatient with Derrick's evasive answers. She knew that he would not be happy until he got a straight answer, and she wanted to avoid any further conflict. Ruby's mother looked at Derrick and said. "Just tell us what you do, please," she said to Derrick, her voice pleading. "It'll be better if you just come clean." But Derrick hesitated, still reluctant to share his work life with these people who seemed to think so little of him.Derrick took a deep breath, knowing that he had no choice but to tell the truth. "I'm not employed," he started, his voice barely above a whisper. He could feel everyone's eyes on him, their judgment clear. He felt like a failure, like he was letting down everyone in the room. But he couldn't bear to lie to them, not when they were demanding the truth. "I'm sorry," he apologized, his voice shaking. "I know it's not what you wanted to hear."Ruby's father was clearly not pleased with the answer. He looked at his d

“Do you really love and care for my stupid sister? Or you want to get back at me for taking your ex wife by getting married to Ruby?” Micheal, Ruby's brother, asked him.“I can't be like you, I'm not foolish enough to get married to someone just to get back at a clown like you.” Derrick snapped.“How dare you” Michael yelled.Derrick walked out of Micheal and returned to the sitting room, his mind racing. He didn't know what to do or say, so he decided to simply sit down in the nearest chair and try to remain calm. As he entered the room, Ruby and her parents looked up, their eyes full of curiosity. They were wondering what had happened between Derrick and her brother, and what would happen next. The tension in the room was palpable, and no one seemed to know how to break it. Micheal came back into the sitting room."I understand that I'm not employed at the moment," Derrick started, addressing Ruby's father directly. "But my father is a very successful businessman. His company has h

Sir Blake stood up and shook hands with Mr Winters, the two men exchanging a few polite words before he departed. Derrick saw him out, his face a mask of seriousness. Once the door closed behind his father, he turned to face the others in the room. His eyes fell on Ruby, and he gave her a small, reassuring smile.Ruby and Derrick said their goodbyes to their parents and left the room, eager to escape the tension that had filled the air. As they stepped outside, they both let out a breath of relief. "That was intense," Ruby remarked, her voice a little shaky. "I'm glad we're out of there." Derrick nodded in agreement, and then he reached for her hand. "Let's go and do something fun, to get our minds off all of that," he said. "What do you say?"“Get your hands off me!” Ruby snapped and slapped his hands away. “Don't forget that we are no longer with my parents and you no longer have the right to touch me.” She added and stepped forward.Ruby stopped in her tracks and turned to face D

In the days leading up to the party, Ruby was a whirlwind of activity. She was busy planning every last detail, and she left Derrick no choice but to obey her every command. He felt like a puppet, being pulled around by her strings. Every time he tried to speak up, she shut him down. He was reduced to simply following her orders, doing as he was told. He felt like a shadow of himself, his own identity slowly disappearing.In a small act of rebellion, Derrick decided to wear his old clothes to the party, instead of buying new ones as Ruby had demanded. He dug through his closet, finding the least wrinkled and stained clothes he could find. Then he set about the task of ironing them, doing his best to make them presentable. He knew it was petty, but he couldn't help himself. He felt like he had to do something to assert his independence, even if it was something small.Ruby walked into the room without knocking, catching Derrick in the act of ironing his old clothes. She was surprised,

On the screen, they could see the garden, decked out in all its glory. The guests were laughing and chatting, enjoying themselves and each other's company. But Anna couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. She watched her ex-husband, Derrick, mingling with the guests, looking handsome and charming. And she wondered what could have been, if things had been different.Michael felt a surge of hatred for his sister as he watched her laughing and smiling, surrounded by friends and family.

He wanted to see her face fall when he told her that he knew her secret, that he knew who Derrick really was. He wanted to destroy her happiness, just as she had

Just as Ruby was beginning to relax and enjoy herself, she noticed her father approaching her again, a serious look on his face. "We need to talk," he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. Ruby felt her stomach twist into knots. She knew this was it - the moment of truth. She followed her father to a quiet corner of the garden, dreading what he was about to say."This is a great opportunity for you," her father started, his voice firm. "You need to make sure that these guests have a good time, that they feel like they're being taken care of. I want them to leave here feeling like they had a great experience and that our company is one they can trust." He looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to respond. Ruby swallowed hard, her mouth suddenly dry. "I understand," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll do everything I can to make them happy.”Ruby nodded, feeling a sense of determination wash over her. She knew that she had to make this party a success, for

The morning sun streamed through the curtains, and Ruby stretched and yawned as she woke up. She felt energized, invigorated, and ready to take on the day. She got out of bed, put on her robe, and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. She looked in the mirror, and she felt a rush of excitement and happiness. Today was the day that she would finally be acknowledged as her father's favorite. Today, she would finally feel like she belonged.Ruby was in a good mood that morning, and she made a point of being extra nice to Derrick. She offered to make him breakfast, and she made sure to thank him for all the help he had given her. She was determined to make him feel appreciated, and she wanted to start the day off on the right foot. After breakfast, she got dressed in her nicest clothes, wanting to look her best for her father. She spent extra time doing her hair and makeup, wanting to look her most beautiful.“Derrick, I want you to go with me to my dad's place. We

Ruby kind of felt anxious, her curiosity was piqued, and she wondered what her father could possibly be talking about. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box, and he handed it to her. She opened it slowly, her heart beating faster.Inside the box, there was a small piece of paper. Ruby unfolded it carefully, her hands shaking slightly. It was a bus ticket, with a destination printed on it: New York City. She looked at her father, her eyes wide. "What is this?" she asked, her voice filled with wonder. "It's a ticket," he said. "To the city of your dreams." She looked at him, and then at the ticket. She didn't know what to say. She had always wanted to visit New York City, but she never thought it would be possible.Ruby was speechless. Her father continued, "I know it's not much, but I wanted to give you something that would help you pursue your dreams and make you explore more. New York City is full of opportunities, and I want you to have the chance to experience the

Derrick, still in his early thirties, was bursting with energy and ideas. He had already achieved so much, but he was far from satisfied. He wanted to expand his reach, to build a business empire that would change the world.One day, over a cup of coffee, Derrick confided in his friend and mentor, Tom. "Tom, I've been thinking... I want to start more companies, outside of our current one. I want to diversify, to explore new markets and industries."Tom's eyes lit up with excitement. "That's a fantastic idea, Derrick!

Derrick's eyes scanned the headline on the newspaper in disbelief: "W&B Company Embroiled in Murder Scandal." He felt a knot in his stomach as he read on, his mind racing with questions. How could this have happened in his company? Who could be behind such a heinous act?Just then, his personal manager, Tom, burst into his office, looking grave. "Derrick, we need to talk.""What's going on, Tom?" Derrick asked, his voice firm but laced with concern."It's about the incident in the company cafeteria," Tom said, his eyes serious. "The police are investigating it as a murder case."Derrick's eyes widened in shock. "Murder? But who...how?"Tom shook his head. "That's the problem. No one knows. The victim, Alex, was a well-liked employee. No one can think of any reason why someone would want him dead."Derrick's mind raced as he tried to process the information. He thought about his company, his employees, his reputation. This scandal could ruin everything he had worked so hard to build."

"I'm glad I could finally set the record straight."As the reporters filed out of the room, Tom approached Derrick, a smile on his face."Great job, boss," Tom said, clapping Derrick on the back. "You really took her down."Derrick nodded, his eyes still locked on Tiffany, who was storming out of the room."I'm not done yet," Derrick said, his voice cold and determined. "I'm going to make sure she pays for what she's done."Tom's eyes widened in surprise, but he nodded in agreement."I'm with you, boss," Tom said. "Let's take her down once and for all."And with that, Derrick and Tom set out on a mission to expose Tiffany's lies and bring her to justice. It was going to be a long and difficult

Before Tom could turn to confront Tiffany, she had vanished into thin air. He spun around, his eyes scanning the darkness, but she was nowhere to be found. And to make matters worse, the blind spot in the warehouse meant that there was no CCTV footage to prove she had even been there.Tom's mind raced as he tried to process what had just happened. He had been so sure that he had finally caught Tiffany in the act, but now she had slipped through his fingers once again.But as he stood there, trying to make sense of it all, a slow smile spread across his face. Because even though he hadn't caught Tiffany, her plan had still been foiled. And that meant that Derrick would finally trust him.The cops arrived soon after, and Tom explained what had happened.
