Derrick's decision to play along with Ruby's plan was a risky one. He knew that if she ever found out that he knew the truth, it could backfire on him. But he also knew that if he acted out of anger or fear, it could make things worse. So he put on a brave face and continued to be kind and loving towards her, even when she didn't deserve it.

He hoped that his kindness would eventually pay off, and that she would come to realize the error of her ways.

Ruby decided to go on a three day vacation in the United States, she told Derrick that he would be going with her. The vacation was more or less like an after party celebration for her alone.

Ruby's motives for inviting Derrick on vacation were less than pure. She was not interested in spending quality time with him, but rather, she saw him as a tool that she could use to her advantage.

She viewed him as someone who would be at her beck and call, and who would serve her needs without question. It was a sad and selfish way to treat someon

    Although Ruby had never been particularly warm towards Derrick, she couldn't help but feel guilty for his current state. She knew that he had only been trying to help her and obey her to join her in the trip before the accident took place, and she felt responsible for what had happened. She sat by his bedside, holding his hand and whispering words of encouragement. She was determined to do everything in her power to help him recover, no matter how long it took. She was still not sure how she felt about the whole attempted murder situation, but she knew that she wanted him to be safe and well.As Ruby spoke softly to Derrick, his hand suddenly squeezed hers.

    Once they were alone, Ruby sat down next to Derrick's bed and took his hand in hers. "How are you feeling?" she asked gently. “Tired," he replied, his voice weak. "But I'm glad to be here with you." She smiled, and she could see that he was trying to put on a brave face. She knew that the road to recovery would be long and difficult, but she was determined to help him every step of the way.As Ruby walked into the interrogation room, she was filled with a sense of unease. She sat down in the chair across from the investigator and took a deep breath. The investigator began by asking her to recount everything that had happened, from the moment she had boarded the plane to the moment she had escaped. Ruby told her story in as much detail as she could, leaving nothing out. The investigator asked her if she had any idea who could have been behind the hijacking, and she shook her head. She had no idea who would want to hurt her like this.Ruby's eyes widened as she remembered the bitter

    As Ruby followed the two men into her study, she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. Her manager closed the door behind them, and the man from the SCORP GROUP sat down in a chair across from Ruby. He placed a folder on the table between them, and he opened it up. "We have completed our investigation," he said, "and I must say, the results are quite surprising." Ruby's curiosity was piqued, and she leaned forward in her chair. "Please, tell me what you found," she urged.“The bomb was planted by your brother. He hired an experienced ex convict for the job and it was neatly done. The plan was to kill you, but surprisingly you escaped. The pilot and hostess of the airplane were also aware of the attempted murder, your brother paid them a huge sum of money.”“That ungrateful brat, did he borrow my own money to pay for my death? Such insolence!” Ruby yelled.“From our investigation, the pilot and hostess are still alive, even the

    Derrick left Ruby's study room and went into his own room. A while later, Ruby came back and entered into her study room and Derrick could see and hear her from his phone.Derrick held his breath as he saw Ruby enter the study. He watched as she paced around the room, her face filled with worry and concern. He listened intently as she spoke to someone on the phone, her voice low and hushed. "I don't know what to do," she said, sounding desperate. "This is all so much bigger than I thought." She went on to talk about a plan, something that sounded dangerous and risky. Derrick's heart was pounding, and he felt like he might be sick. What was she getting herself into?As Derrick listened, he could tell that the person on the other end of the line was someone she trusted, someone who knew what she was up to, her manager. Derrick heard the door to his room open, and he turned around to see Ruby standing there. He had been too occupied in his thoughts to notice her entering. He tried to

    “I know that it was all your doing.” Derrick dropped the bombshell.Micheal surprisingly agreed for Derrick to come to his house. He told him to come the next day.When the next day arrived, Derrick felt a mixture of dread and determination. He knew that what he was about to do was risky, but he felt like he had no other choice. He dressed in his best clothes and headed to Micheal's house, his stomach churning with nerves. When he arrived, he knocked on the door, his heart slightly pounding in his chest. He heard footsteps approaching, and the door opened to reveal Micheal standing there, a look of suspicion on his face. "What do you want?" he asked, his tone cold.“I need you to promise me that this will be between the two of us," Derrick stressed, his voice low and urgent. "If Ruby finds out, it could ruin everything." Micheal looked at him for a moment, considering. Finally, he nodded. "I promise," he said. "But I'm only doing this because I know you'll make it worth my while."

    “Go to the bank and withdraw a huge sum of money from my savings account and put it in the slush fund account.”"Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Derrick asked, his voice trembling. He knew that what Ruby was asking of him was wrong, but he also knew that he was in no position to say no. He felt trapped, like he had no choice but to do what she said. “It's the only way to get back at them," Ruby replied, her voice cold and hard. "I don't want to talk about it anymore. Just do it." Derrick swallowed hard, his mouth dry. He knew that he couldn't refuse, no matter how much he wanted to and he also knew that he could get caught from depositing the money.Ruby specifically warned him to create another savings account and use Micheal's name as the holder's name and then he should send the money to the slush fund account.“Mrs Ruby wants you to create a fake savings account too.” Ruby's manager had informed Derrick."Are you asking me to help you commit fraud?"

He was glad Tom was safe, but the events of the day still weighed heavily on his mind.As he drove back home, his thoughts turned over the details of the chase and the police's investigation.

    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! You have the vision and the drive to make it happen. What kind of companies are you thinking of starting?"Derrick's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "I'm thinking of starting a tech firm, a sustainable energy company, and a non-profit organization to support entrepreneurship in underserved communities."Tom whistled. "Wow, that's ambitious! But I know you can do it. You have a unique ability to bring people together and make things happen."Derrick grinned. "Thanks, Tom. I

    As the conspirators were led away in handcuffs, Derrick's relief was short-lived. The investigation was still ongoing, and the murderer remained at large. Rachel Patel, his lawyer, reminded him that the battle was far from over."The conspirators may have been brought to justice, but the killer is still out there," she said, her eyes stern with determination. "We need to keep pushing forward until we uncover the truth."Derrick nodded, his mind racing with the possibilities. Who could have committed such a heinous crime?

    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."

    As the press conference came to a close, Derrick felt a sense of relief wash over him. He had finally spoken the truth and cleared his name. He knew that Tiffany would continue to try and sabotage him, but he was ready for her."Thank you, everyone," Derrick said, his voice tired but triumphant. "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. But without any evidence, they couldn't do much. They left, and Tom was left alone in the warehouse, his mind still reeling.But as he walked back home, he felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him.

"I've got the recording," he said, his eyes serious. "You need to hear this."Derrick's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with anticipation. "Play it," he growled.The ally nodded, pressing a button on the device. Suddenly, Tiffany's voice filled the room, her words dripping with malice."We need to get into his office tonight," she said.
