Thomas remained silent for a while. "Where should I start?"It was Caraline's turn to be suddenly silent. The woman had been curious about the identity of Deric's parents. So this was a good opportunity to find out. She only knew that both of them were dead. "You're free to say it from anywhere.""All right." Thomas paused for a while. "Mr. Jacob's father's name was Joseph and Mr. Deric's mother's was Juliana. They were very loving parents and wonderful individuals. However, they are both gone now.""Joseph, Juliana, Jacob," Caraline murmured with a faint smile."Both are buried in one of the cemeteries in Summertown. Mr. Jacob was deeply hurt by their loss. But afterward, he promised them that they would become great men in the future."Caraline suddenly froze when she heard the last sentence. Her eyes suddenly condensed and prepared to shed a rain of tears. She immediately looked down with her chest tight. Her careless actions on the night of Carla's graduation had made Deric's life

"Am I late?" asked Deric, who had arrived with Thomas.Caraline immediately turned around, preparing to make a snappy face. However, she failed to do so when she saw Deric's appearance.Deric was wearing a dark blue suit that matched Caraline's dress. His hair was neatly styled so that it glistened in the lamplight.

She didn't even blink for quite some time. At the same time, her heart was beating extremely fast. Rather than making Deric surprised by her appearance, the man made her very shocked. "Do you like my appearance?" asked Deric while observing his appearance. "I had quite a hard time finding a suitable outfit to wear tonight. Besides, I'm not very skilled when it comes to styling. So, I asked Thomas for help in choosing an appropriate outfit as well as styling my appearance. Thank goodness I wasn

The Heaventown highway seemed more congested than usual. Traffic jams occurred on several lanes of the road. Honking and swearing could be heard from the drivers. One of them came from the car Jeremy, Jonathan, and James were riding in."This is all because of you, James!" snapped Jeremy as he looked back with a glare. "You've reached your limit tonight."James just looked down in fear, not daring to look up."You almost made us late for tonight's event," Jonathan said, his hands clenched tightly into fists. "If we're not allowed into the venue, I'll kick your ass."James let out a long breath, leaning his back against the back of the chair. His gaze turned to the right and left. There were other vehicles stuck along with the car he was riding in."Shit!" Jeremy hit the steering wheel until the car horn sounded. His jaw tightened until his veins popped out. His eyes looked dewy as his breath began to catch. His face was red from holding back his anger."What exactly do you have in min

"Make sure the explosion happens after the event," said the first person to speak.James immediately froze. His face was instantly pale. His eyes rounded for a few moments. With his heart racing, he tried to peek outside."Are you sure this restroom is safe?" the man asked again."This restroom is far away from the main restroom. So, it's unlikely that any of the guests would enter this restroom. I can confirm its safety."James quickly pulled his body to its original position. He pointed his cell phone at the bottom of the slightly open stall and started recording a video. He didn't know why he was doing this, but he had a feeling that the two men were up to something sinister. "We'd better get ready at the location," said the one who spoke first, "I'll make sure the bomb is properly installed at the designated location.""Alright, I'll do the same."The conversation ended as footsteps slowly moved away from James' toilet cubicle. The door opened and soon closed from the outside.Ja

"De-Deric?" Caraline turned her head for a moment, squeezing her dress. "What did I ask him for? I can't do it.""Why?" asked Diego, "isn't he just a dog?"Helen and Lucy, who had overheard the conversation, turned their heads. They exchanged glances for a moment but then chose to remain silent."Come on, having a dog isn't that difficult," Diego persuaded."Unfortunately, I don't want to let him out of the house. Deric just had an accident.""An accident? What happened to him?" Diego asked.Caraline let out a long breath. "Yes, he did. That's why I don't want him to go through anything heartbreaking again.""I won't hurt him. So""So, I won't come to the dinner if you keep talking about Deric in front of me." Caraline rolled her eyes. For some reason, she was getting annoyed with Diego. The man seemed genuinely curious about Deric.Diego was suddenly thoughtful. "Alright, I won't talk about it anymore. But, you have to invite me to dinner.""You get what you want."There was no more

Jeremy, Jonathan, and James looked tense as they followed a bodyguard to the edge of the park. The crashing of the waves was a musical accompaniment to their racing hearts. The three men suddenly fell silent when they saw Deric with his back to them near the fence. Shortly afterward, the bodyguard chose to excuse himself. For a few seconds, there was only silence between the four men. Jeremy, Jonathan, and James exchanged glances with each other, confused as to what action they should take at this point. Should they say goodbye? Deric slowly turned around, smiling to greet his three half-brothers. He walked over, but Jeremy, Jonathan, and James did not move from their places or even turn their heads towards him. "I've been waiting for your arrival," Deric said. Jeremy, Jonathan, and James had not paid any attention to Deric's words. Their faces had not completely lifted either.

All eyes were on Deric who had just recognized himself as the presiden of the number one company in the country. The atmosphere of the event was instantly silent, as were the people watching the news on television channels and the internet. Shortly afterward, the adoring admiration was met with thunderous applause."Oh my," said Helen, "isn't that Mr. Deric? How could this be possible? He can walk on both feet and right now he's in front of us."Helen turned to Caraline who was looking down with a smile on her face. When she realized something, Helen quickly controlled herself. She knew the reason behind Caraline's change over the past two weeks."Miss Caraline," Helen called with a bright smile. Despite the crack in her heart, she was happy to see Caraline now.Caraline was silent and didn't dare to raise her head at the moment. The praise and admiration directed at Deric made her even more terrified of losing him.On the other side, Diego and Wilson were watching the show on the scr

A week passed after Caraline met with Deric on the rooftop of the building. However, her happy smile never faded. Helen, Stevan, and the rest of the maids and guards couldn't understand her attitude. While Caraline had been saddened a few months ago, for the past week, she had been overwhelmed with happiness.Caraline visited an event organized by one of Universe Coporation's subsidiaries in a large park. Many famous officials and businessmen attended the event, including Henry Hulbert.Caraline couldn't sit still while watching Henry Hulbert perform on stage. Her eyes were often drawn to the surroundings. There was a good chance that Deric was also at this event, she thought.Caraline hadn't received any messages from Deric all week. She also deliberately did not contact him. If longing had been excruciating in the past, this longing had only intensified the love."Do you need something?" asked Helen, who was sitting next to Caraline's chair."Nothing." Caraline shook her head, turni

Caraline and Deric looked at each other for some time, lost in their feelings. The lights around the rooftop seemed to change color as time passed."I'm just afraid that you'll lose consciousness like last time," Deric said suddenly."What do you mean?" asked Caraline with flushed cheeks."You know, you suddenly passed out when we were about to do... 'it' in your room." Deric laughed, gently stroking Caraline's hair."Passed out?" Caraline raised one eyebrow. "Didn't we ever do that?""Not at all," Deric said, "you seemed to be so nervous that you passed out, especially since you didn't stop smiling during your sleep."Caraline suddenly turned her back on Deric, closing her eyes with a very red face. She was embarrassed when she heard that. So, all this time she had only dreamed about doing 'that' with Deric. "Don't talk to me anymore. I hate you.""I know if your heart says otherwise." Deric stood beside Caraline."No, I'm serious." Caraline turned her gaze to the other side. "You ar

Caraline's whole body shook even more when she saw Deric standing in front of her. She dropped her cell phone because she couldn't contain her shock. For a few moments, she could only hold her breath with an unblinking gaze.Caraline felt shocked on top of the shock. She had wanted Deric to walk again, but when she saw it firsthand, Caraline was left stunned and unable to do anything. Her lips half opened, but quickly closed again.Didn't Deric look perfect with his current appearance?Caraline pinched her left arm hard. She felt a great pain there. It signaled that she was in the real world. However, Caraline still felt lost in dreamland. Deric, who she thought was a man who had lost his dreams, was the mysterious figure that people wanted to know about. Deric was none other than the richest man in the country.Doesn't Deric look perfect in his current position?Caraline looked back as her feet hit the rooftop barrier. She was at the edge of the room and there was no turning back. Fo

"Deric."Caraline could only remain silent with wide-rounded eyes for some time. Her mouth was half open with a look of disbelief. All the images of her time with Deric instantly faded away, making her body almost collapse on the floor. Tears were rolling down her cheeks relentlessly.Caraline knew that she missed Deric more than anything. However, when he was in front of her right now, she could only stand still without being able to get closer or even hug him tightly.Time seemed to stop for Caraline. All the scenery around her suddenly turned black and white, except for Deric alone. At the same time, the world became eerily silent.Could this all be a delusion?Could it be that he was in a dream?Could it be that God had answered all her prayers and hopes?Caraline still couldn't quite believe what was happening. For months she had searched for Deric's whereabouts with everything she had, but nothing good had come of it. However, at this moment, Deric came to him alone on this roof
