“What have I done to offend the Comtes that you all have to oppose me this way?” Miya is now on the
verge of an emotional breakdown. She closes her eyes miserably. At this moment, she is at a loss of
what to do. She does not know how to face this cunning and sinister man in front of her.
However, Derrick is unconcerned. He shows a satisfied smile.
“Miya, you were destined to suffer this kind of disaster together with my brother from the moment you
met him!” Derrick speaks very softly but every word hits her heart as hard as a stone.
“Why? Is it because Anson has fallen for me?” Miya clenches both of her fists and her whole body is
trembling because there is no way she can accept such truth.
“That’s right! It is just as what you think they are. Feel free to put the blame on my brother for falling
hopelessly in love with you and that he is willing to do anything for you. That’s why I plotted such a trap
for you to fall into.”
“I would have thought you were as stupid as you could be, I did not expect you to find out anything
suspicious. Yet, that idiot actually showed himself.”
Derrick tickles Miya’s chin with his fingers again. Miya naturally turns her face away in disgust.
“Who was the man who looked exactly like Alex just now?” Miya can hardly believe that someone in
this world looks just the same as Alex.
“Do you really think there is this someone out there who looks exactly like him? Nope, you got it wrong,
your thinking is too naive. It is all artificial. If you want something to blame, go for the foreign plastic
surgery technology for being too advanced. I only spent tens of millions, found a random man with a
similar height and body size to him. He looked incredibly like Alex after the procedure. Then, I only had
to make him follow my arrangement.”
Derrick speaks as if he is narrating a story.
“So, you let him play the role of Alex and hurt me all this time.” Miya finishes his sentence for him.
“It seems like you are not completely stupid.” Derrick continues to tease her.
“How could you do such a cruel thing to me? And what have you done to the real Alex?” Miya has
become teary-eyed at this moment. She covers her chest with both hands. In deep grief, she looks at
this heartless and terrifying man in front of her.
“You want to know about the real Alex? What would you do if I do not tell you?” Derrick speaks in a
very irritating tone.
Miya collapses upon hearing his words.
She can tell he knows Alex’s whereabouts by the tone of his voice. She is again reminded of the time
when she had rushed back to the hotel room to look for Alex. There were traces of blood all over the
floor. Could it be that Alex had already been killed at that time?
There is no way she can imagine Alex being harmed. He is such a strong man, how could anything
happen to him?
“No! You must be lying to me right now. Alex can’t possibly in trouble.” The tearful Miya keeps moving
backward.
“I have made it so clear, are you sure you still want to deceive yourself over here?”
“There is no way, there is no way Alex is in trouble. You said it is impossible to hurt him.” Miya
desperately wipes the tears on her cheeks with her hands.
“According to normal logic, it is indeed impossible for Alex to be harmed. He has extraordinary body
coordination. It is not easy to subdue him. Oh, but in fact, thanks to you.” Derrick is again shifting the
attention of the topic to her.
Miya frowns bitterly, indescribable pain is hidden inside her incredulous expression.
“Thanks to me?”
“Yeah, if you had not been on the outs with him, how could I possibly take the opportunity to do
anything to him?” Derrick says, as his lips slowly twist into a curve.
“So, you have already hidden him?” Miya says in a natural tone.
“Wow, you are not too stupid.” Derrick hides a dagger inside his smile.
Miya can no longer calm down. She rushes right in front of him and grabs his collar desperately,
shaking his body, and almost using all her strength to scream, “Tell me quickly, where did you hide
him?”
“My future sister-in-law, what makes you think I would tell you the whereabouts of my brother’s rival in
love?” Derrick remains unconcerned and continues to whisper in her ear with his provocative voice.
“If you do not tell me, I will kill you right now.” Miya has already been mad at this point that she does not
have any shred of sanity.
“People die. What’s worthy is the value they bring to the world before they go. It does not matter if I die.
But I know for sure that if I do, you will never know Alex’s whereabouts.” Derrick again shows a look of
fearlessness, even closing his eyes willingly as if facing death unflinchingly. This makes Miya is at a
loss for words.
Miya does not continue the conversation any further. She knows her threats are simply useless. She
can only sit on the ground like a corpse because, at this moment, there is nothing she can do. She
cannot find Alex and she cannot go back anymore.
At this moment, she really wants to choose death.
Living is really too exhausting. How does she somehow get involved in such a dispute? She is
separated from her beloved and she does not know Alex’s whereabouts.
“Just kill me!” Miya spits out these words in a downhearted manner while lying on the ground.
“Hahaha…” Derrick laughs sardonically.
“Do you still remember the fight that happened when you first met me? You were so capable to reply
me defiantly and now you are lying on the ground like a corpse.”
Another satisfied smile appears on his face. This satisfaction of revenge has made him inexplicably
excited.
“Do you still remember how you were talking back to me? Now that you finally know what I am capable
of, I will see if you still dare to easily offend me in the future.”
After Miya hears this, she is even more heartbroken. She is to be blamed for all these, she is the
reason why she has to suffer tortures worse than death.
“I beg you to stop torturing me. Just end my life right now!” Miya no longer wants to endure such pain.
“If I kill you, what about my brother? Do not worry. I am not going to harm you a bit.” Derrick says in a
tone of certainty.
