“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.
