Rich Man Leaves Behind $300M Mansion While His Daughter Sleeps on the Ground in Severe Cold — Story of the Day
Derek Bernard made headlines when he left behind his $300M mansion while his daughter Carla slept on the ground in the cold. Everyone mocked the wealthy man for abandoning his daughter and felt sorry for Carla, but one of them knew things about Carla that no one else did, and Carla would soon find out who this person was.
Derek Bernard just had a few cents with him when he first came to New York City. He was orphaned at a young age, and his grandparents had left for their heavenly adobe as he turned 13, leaving him all alone.
Life in New York was difficult, and Derek had to rely on his grandparents’ savings for a long time. Then he worked a few part-time jobs, saved money for years, and gradually launched his own company.
For the first few years, he struggled to get people to invest in his company, but everything worked out in the end, and he was doing well. Almost ten years later, he had expanded his company beyond the United States, and rowing millions of dollars appeared to be a simple task.

“I want to, but not right now! I told you to take precautions, Elena! I don’t care, you’ll have to get rid of the child!”
“But honey, I want to have this baby. Please!”
Derek glared at Elena and took a step forward. “Since when did you start answering me back, Elena? Did you forget your real place? You were only a third-rate waitress. I brought you from that shambles to this gleaming empire. So if I say something, you must obey, understand?”
“No, Derek! Not this time! I won’t terminate the pregnancy because of you!”

“Ahh, I should have just thrown you out after spending a few nights with you! It’s okay; it’s not too late. Pack your luggage and get the hell out!”
“Derek?! Are you out of your mind? You know I don’t have anyone except you! How can...
