Chapter 31

Derrick’s POV

It turned out that transferring the ownership of a company and a house wasn’t as easy as I had thought. I needed to find important documents like the house certificate and others. For now, I would handle it myself with a temporary transfer of power letter signed by Sarah.

“Hey, honey. Are you awake?”

I walked over to Sarah, who had just woken up. She was very quiet now. ‘I hope you stay amnesiac, honey… Hehe!‘ I laughed inwardly. I could not wait to be rich.

“Sorry, sir, Ms. Johnson can’t have visitors right now. Please understand.”

I heard a commotion outside the room.

“I have to see her. I have something important to say.”

It sounded like someone had come to visit Sarah. Who could it be? The voice sounded familiar

“Sarah?!”

It was Albert. Damn it! He had managed to get into the room.

Albert looked confused seeing Sarah’s unusual behavior. I had better leave it be. Sarah probably did not recognize him.

“Sarah! Are you okay?” Albert approached Sarah, trying to reach for her hands.

But she pushed him away harshly.

‘Hahaha… serves you right, Albert.‘

“Who are you?” Sarah asked, glaring at him.

“Sarah, what’s wrong? Are you mad at me?” Albert asked, even more confused. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“You should leave. Sarah won’t recognize you,” I said with a triumphant smile.

“Hey! Shut up! You should be the one out of Sarah’s life!” Albert pointed at me aggressively. He seemed really pissed.

“I’m her husband. Stop bothering my wife. You should leave now. Or I’ll call security!” I threatened.

“Damn you!” Albert lifted his arm, he was about to hit me.

Luckily, two security guards showed up just in time.

“Don’t cause trouble here, sir! You need to leave now!”

Albert looked at Sarah in confusion again. But Sarah didn’t care. She looked away at the wall.

“Please escort this man out,” I asked the security guards.

“Let’s go, sir!” The security guard forcibly dragged Albert out of the room.

‘Albert, soon you’ll be surprised to see me at the office with my new position.‘

1/3

Seems like it was the right time to ask Sarah to sign the paper.

“Sarah, I need you to sign this.” I handed her a piece of paper.

“What’s this?”

“The company needs someone to lead. Let me handle it for now. Just sign this so I can say you’re resting during the board meeting.”

Sarah looked hesitant. She frowned a few times. Maybe she did not remember at all.

Finally, Sarah signed the paper.

What a silly woman. So easy to fool as always. Hahaha… I laughed in satisfaction.

“Sarah, you should be careful of the guy the guards kicked out earlier. His name is Albert.”

“Why?”

“He’s actually wicked. He’s trying to destroy your company.”

Sarah looked shocked.

“Okay.” She nodded and said softly.

Thank goodness Sarah believed me.

“I’m so sleepy, Derrick. I’ll sleep now.” She laid back down.

Maybe it was the medicine. Sarah got sleepy and fell asleep quickly.

Suddenly, I remembered Kendall. I really missed that sexy woman. I had not seen her in days.

Maybe I should surprise her later. She would love it when I buy her jewelry. Sarah’s bank account had so much money, I could use it to make my girlfriend happy. After all, Kendall was pregnant with my child now.

Maybe it was okay to leave Sarah for a bit. I asked the security guards to make sure no one visited her. With money, everything got easier.

The intense longing for Kendall made me want to get home quickly. But it was still noon. Kendall was probably still at the office. I had better buy the jewelry for her first.

A set of jewelry was already in the box. I planned to give it to her as a surprise later. I had better head home first and share this happy news with Mom. She would be thrilled to know her son was going to become the CEO of a big company..

“Mom… Mom, look at this! I got Sarah’s signature.”

I met my mom, who was now living at Sarah’s house. It looked like she had managed to win over Gillian.

“Wow, you’re amazing!” Mom exclaimed.

“We need to find the important documents, especially the house certificate. Any idea where she might have kept them?”

2/3

Mom and I started guessing the possible places Sarah might have kept all her important documents. The house had changed a lot. I had to search every room.

“Sofia, where is Sarah’s working room?” I asked impatiently.

“I–I don’t k–know, sir. She only works at the office. She never brings work home,” Sofia answered hesitantly.

I was sure she knew. It must be in this house. I would look for it myself later but anyway Sarah would come home tomorrow. Maybe I could persuade her then.

“Alright, now please prepare food for me. Then clean the side unit.”

“S–sorry, sir. Ms. Johnson has converted the side unit into a storage facility,” Sofia replied fearfully.

“What?!”

My plan to bring Kendall back to this house had failed.

I had to have Kendall to myself soon. Once the company was fully mine, I would propose to her.

After eating and freshening up, I got ready to meet Kendall. She should be home soon. I planned to surprise her by waiting in front of her rented house.

“Hey Derrick. Why are you here again? My daughter will never want a broke guy like you.” Suddenly, Sonia approached me.

“What do you mean? Kendall is pregnant with my child. She wouldn’t leave me just like that.”

“Hahaha… Such confidence. Just wait and see.” Sonia laughed while walking away.

Not long after, a fancy car stopped right in front of the house. A guy in his forties got out and opened the

door.

I was shocked to see Kendall getting out of the car. They were very affectionate. Kendall seemed to be flaunting her affection with that older man in front of me on purpose.

“Kendall!”

Kendall ignored me until the guy

left her.

“Kendall!”

“What is it? You’re so annoying!” Kendall snapped.

“Who was that? Are you cheating on me?” I started getting angry.

“Enough, Derrick. I’m tired.” Kendall stormed into her house and slammed the door shut.

‘Damn you, Kendall. Just wait until you see my new position at the office. I’m sure you’ll be begging to come back to me.‘
