“He spent ages digging up years’ worth of fake accounts and tax evasion from Nexterra Resources. This time, there’s no way they’re getting away.”

Annie nodded slightly and said, “That’s great.”

Sophia went on, “Annie, we have to keep Derrick’s identity a secret for now. We can’t let anything slip until we’ ve completely dismantled the forces behind Nexterra Resources. Only then will it be safe to let the world know who he really is.”

“Sophia, I totally understand. I’m family, and when it comes to the Roths, you know I won’t breathe a word. You can count on me,” Annie assured her.

After their talk, Sophia and Annie headed back to Julian’s hospital room together.

Derrick stood up, glanced at Sophia, and when she gave him a slight nod, he turned to Annie. He said, “Thanks for taking care of Julian and Uncle Edward for us, Annie. Sophia and I have some things to handle.”

Annie smiled and said, “Don’t worry, you two go ahead. I’ll make sure Edward and Julian are well taken care of.”

The whole Nexterra Resources mess was pretty much wrapped up. As for the ones who slipped through the net, Derrick had Paolo hunting them down.

Sophia was driving, and Derrick lounged in the passenger seat, giving her a playful look. He said, “Babe, Annie is Easton’s real cousin. No matter how much you circle it, you and Easton are still family. Isn’t that fate or what?”

Sophia stayed silent.

Derrick teased again, “You can’t keep running forever. Want me to teach him a lesson for you?”

“Derrick, if you bring him up one more time, I’ll dump you on the side of the road,” Sophia threatened.

Derrick shot her a cheeky grin and said, “Alright, alright, I’ll drop it.

“I just heard Uncle Edward say you’re planning to go back to Japoria?”

Sophia answered coolly, “Yeah, I promised Uncle Edward that night. He said after three days, no matter what happens with Crestview Group, I’m not allowed to get involved anymore.

“Now that you’re back, I feel at ease leaving everything to you. And honestly, I really miss Lucas.”

“So, are you thinking of not coming back after this trip?” Derrick asked.

Sophia had been thinking about that for a while, but honestly, she still didn’t know what to do.

She replied, “I don’t really have any plans yet. I just want to go back and spend some time with Lucas. Rothea Designs landed a lot of new projects recently, so it looks like I’ll be swamped.”

Derrick shook his head and said, “You’re so unmotivated.”

Sophia didn’t care what Derrick said. She was just so tired. She didn’t want to think about anything else

anymore.

She admitted to herself that she was being pretty unmotivated right now, but so what?

Sure enough, Crestview Group had already posted the official announcement on their website, naming Derrick as the new executive director and CEO.

As soon as the news broke, reporters from Jenston swarmed the Crestview Group building, blocking the entrance. Paolo and Emily had already arranged for extra security to stand guard at the front gate. Derrick got out of the car, with Sophia following close behind as they walked into the Crestview Group together.

Easton sat at his computer, watching the live news stream. As Derrick and Sophia showed up on camera one after the other, his eyes were sharp and predatory like a hawk lurking in the darkness: aloof, lonely, and

downright intimidating.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Easton said, his voice sending a chill down anyone’s spine.

Gordon had managed to dig up some info on Derrick in record time.

Most of it didn’t surprise Easton, but one detail made his expression grow even colder.

Derrick was actually the man pulling the strings at Rothea Designs. All those years Sophia spent in Japoría, she was with him.

Easton thought, ‘Childhood sweethearts?

‘Rumored to have dated in college?

‘No wonder she skipped New Year’s in Jenston with Edward and Julian; she went back to Derrick instead.
