NovelOnlineChapter 1118:
Derek huddled in a corner, tuning out his mother’s complaints and his father’s fury. Lost in his own thoughts, he
stared blankly ahead.
How could Marissa, the simple village girl he had grown up with, suddenly be Paul's biological daughter? He
couldn't have mistaken someone else for her!
Was she another daughter of Paul? Had she known the truth all along? Was that why she had been so
unbothered when he confronted her? Derek tugged at his hair, frustrated by the flood of realizations in his mind.
The woman he had once looked down upon and humiliated turned out to be a legendary figure in both the arts
and medicine. And she had even been revealed to be the heiress of Paul Group.
All the money Marissa had given him before had been hard-earned. But instead of trusting her, he had let the
rumors about her sleeping with men at nightclubs cloud his judgment, convincing himself that was where the
money had cfrom.
Despite all her achievements, she still wanted to marry him. And instead of feeling grateful, he dumped her,
repeatedly trying to keep her as a mistress.
The fact that she hadn't retaliated against him after all he had done showed that she still cherished their

Thinking about how she had cared for him since they were young, and all the terrible things he had done after
reconnecting with his family, Derek wanted to curse himself for being such a fool. He had always accused her of
being ungrateful, but the truth was, he was the ungrateful one.

This was the price of his greed—losing the most amazing woman he had ever met.
Feeling deeply remorseful, he whispered, “I'm sorry, Marissa.”
In the next second, Derek found himself kicked to the ground.
Neil had sent Derek tumbling to the ground. Witnessing Derek’s stunned and hurt expression only fueled Neil's
rage. “You're absolutely worthless,” he spat.
Neil was convinced he was destined for remarkable achievements, yet he felt constantly hindered by those
around him. He dreamed of seizing control of the Daniels family leadership, commanding all the prominent
families in Blebert. Unfortunately, in his youth, he had found little support from his parents, and now, he had two
sons who couldn't help him at all.
Foley was gentle and compliant, but lacked critical skills.
Having been raised far from the family’s influence, Derek had been deprived of a decent education and fell short
in numerous aspects.
As Neil pondered these frustrations, his irritation deepened. He found himself wishing Derek would simply
vanish.
After being kicked to the ground, Derek quietly stood up, took a seat, and continued to stare ahead blankly. Any
affection he might have once felt for Neil had long since evaporated. He now saw him as nothing less than a
monster.
