Deric?" asked James suddenly, "isn't he still Caraline's husband?"Jeremy chuckled. "Looks like she's starting to realize who the flawed man she married a few months ago is. I'd wager that by now she's kicked that cripple Deric out. Of course, anyone would choose Diego over that useless man."James looked down, quickly finishing the dish on his plate. "Does that mean Caraline dumped... Deric?""Looks like it." Jeremy took a sip of his drink, looking at James who looked glum. "Do you feel sorry for the cripple Deric, James?""Is that right, James?" interrupted Jonathan."No." James shook his head with his face still

All the images of Deric now filled her head. She reread the chart from top to bottom to make sure that what she had read earlier was not wrong. However, she still got the same information."So... the one who helped me in the accident was Deric," Caraline muttered while holding her own heart. "And the person who hit Deric was Carla, not me."Caraline clenched her fists tightly. She tried to hold back the tears that were trying to break through her stubbornness. "Deric."Caraline looked up, leaning her back against the back of the chair. She suddenly thought of Carla's condition after school graduation.

The whole room was in an uproar with the news. All eyes were immediately on Diego. Television and internet channels instantly highlighted the shock that had befallen Diego and Caraline. Some of the guests were whispering with probing looks."This must be a mistake, sir," Diego said, still forcing a smile, "I'm not involved in any crime. I can prove that I am innocent of all charges."Diego clenched his fists tightly. The man could not contain his shock. He had bribed the mouths of police officers and media owners to cover up his crimes. However, what happened was beyond his control. The only thing he could think of at the moment was that there was a big figure behind this event.Henry Hulbert suddenly stood up and walked out of the room. His action immediately caught the attention of the media and the people in the room."Mr. Henry Hulbert, I'm sure this was just a mistake," Diego said as he stepped down from the venue.

The smoke slowly dissipated as the large fans from the four corners of the room turned on. The room returned to its original state. Many of the guests were already unconscious on the floor, including Jeremy, Jonathan, and James. The same happened to some of the bodyguards, police, and media outside the room."Stay away from my cousin, Diego!" Catherine suddenly hit Diego on the back with a wooden stick. "You've crossed your limit.""Catherine, what are you doing?" asked Wilson. When he saw the white smoke coming out, he quickly put on a mask, gave one to Catherine, and also asked his cousin to hold her breath.Diego almost fell over if he didn't hold on to the chair. He pulled a small pistol from his sock and fired it at Catherine. "Die, damn woman!"Catherine immediately fell when her shoulder was shot. Blood quickly flowed and soaked her shirt. His gaze fell on Caraline for a moment and soon she was unconscious."Catherine!" screeched Wilson with bulging eyes. The man quickly crouc

Caraline felt her body being forcefully pulled back, where her mouth was also firmly sealed. She tried to scream but could do nothing to stop the enemy's actions."Shut up, you lowly woman," Diego whispered angrily as he pulled Caraline toward the helicopter. He chuckled as his hand was bitten off by her. "Take me away from this place."Caraline continued to struggle. She didn't want to go with Diego, let alone become the wife of that disgusting monster. For that reason, she had to get away as soon as possible."You'll only make yourself more miserable, you lowly woman!" Diego pulled Caraline with all his might.
