What Anna didn't know was that Charles had seen through her scheme.
That was why Charles allowed Joseph to divorce with Daisy.
Meanwhile, Anna insisted on marrying Joseph, so he would give it to her.
"Well, if that's what you want, then I promise you. But I have to discuss it with my father first." After
hesitating for a while, Joseph finally walked into Derrick's room with Anna.
"Dad..." It could be heard in his voice how guilty he was, because he hadn't visited Derrick for a few
days, and he had made so much trouble. He knew that his father must be angry.
Of course, Derrick was angry, but he got even angrier when he saw Joseph coming in with Anna who
was snuggling up on him.
With a snort, Derrick said, "Humph. So you've remembered to visit me now?"
"Uncle, please don't be angry with Joseph. He is the president of the group now, so he is always busy. I
even feel sorry whenever I see how tired he is! He rarely has time to rest." It was Anna who replied to
Derrick.
As expected, Joseph was easily moved when she defended him.
Therefore, he felt that he had made the right choice to marry Anna.
"If he is busy every day... Then why do you have time now?" For a split second, Derrick glanced at
Anna, thinking that this woman was really not easy to deal with.
"Today, Anna and I went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. The doctor said that the baby is healthy.
It is a boy, so we are excited to tell you the good news, so... That's why we're here." Joseph faltered.
"Yes, the doctor said that the child is very healthy and that he looks like Joseph. Uncle must be very
happy, right?" Her words had a hidden meaning, which only the two of them understood.
Of course, Derrick was happy that his child was fine.
So he gently nodded at her.
All of a sudden, Joseph declared, "Dad, I want to marry Anna."
Naturally, Derrick was stunned by his words. How could he say such a thing? "Are you going to marry
Anna? What about Daisy?"
"We have divorced," said Joseph.
Derrick was in a daze for a while.
"That's a good thing, uncle. Daisy and Joseph don't have any feelings for each other. While we love
each other. Uncle will help us, won't you?" Poor Joseph, he didn't even notice how she was acting so
playful in front of Derrick.
With a lump in his throat, Joseph asked, "Dad, will you give your blessing?"
After thinking for a while, Derrick replied, "Did your grandfather agree?"
It could be said that he was a little afraid of Frederic. After all, Frederic still had real power in the TS
Group now, and Joseph hadn't been president for more than a few days. So Frederic's standpoint was
very important.
"Grandpa said he was okay with it since we really wanted to get married." Staring at him meaningfully,
Anna continued, "Uncle, my baby is five months old now. If I don't get married soon, I won't be able to
wear a wedding dress in the next few months."
"Well, don't forget to pick me up when you get married. I'm so sick of this place." Pretending to be a
fool, Derrick had asked to be discharged from the hospital every day. But in everyone's eyes, he was
crazy so no one took it seriously.
From then on, he had no choice but to endure it.
But since Anna and Joseph were going to get married, he could take the opportunity to leave here.
"Uncle is so nice." A charming smile spread across Anna's face.
"Dad, should we invite Charles to our wedding?" Now that he took away Charles' position in the
company, Joseph thought his brother must despise him right now.
"Of course. Why not?" Derrick smiled complacently. "You are now the president of the TS Group. You
should show off to Charles. He must feel uncomfortable, right? He deserves it. Every dog has its day.
He must feel so bad." Imagining Charles' gloomy face, Derrick couldn't help but laugh.
What a surprise it would be to get invited at your enemy's wedding!
"Well, that's it. Before I get married, I will pick you up. As for Grandpa..." Embarrassed, Joseph failed to
finish his words.
"I know. Your grandpa won't allow you to get married so soon. Since he doesn't agree, you'd better
keep it a secret and let him stay in the hospital." Derrick thought for a while and added, "To prevent him
from making any trouble."
Nodding his head, Joseph replied, "Yes, I understand."
Because Joseph didn't expect that Derrick would agree so easily, he felt happy and relieved.
What he didn't know was that Derrick only did this for his own selfish motive.
He was afraid that the baby in Anna's belly would be wronged. On the other hand, he attached great
importance to David's power in this city. It was difficult for him and Joseph to deal with Charles. With
the help of the Wang family, it would be easier.
"Thank you, uncle." Instinctively, she ran to Derrick and kissed him on the cheek out of excitement.
Because of this, Derrick's face darkened.
Seeing how he reacted, Anna quickly explained, "I hope you don't mind, Uncle. I'm just so happy!"
"I don't mind. You can leave now, so you can prepare for your wedding." He was afraid that if Joseph
and Anna stayed here for too long, they would attract the hospital staffs' attention. If anyone overheard
their conversation, they would be in big trouble.
"Okay, we'll take our leave now." Finally, Derrick sighed in relief when Joseph and Anna went out of his
room. He thought it was suffocating to be in a same room with Anna.
"Joseph, I was just too excited a while ago. Do you mind if I kissed Uncle?" As they walked in the
corridor, Anna glanced at Joseph cautiously.
"No. You are pregnant and my father is sick. Don't worry. I know you are just happy." Of course, Joseph
had no idea what was happening between Anna and his father.
'What a fool!' Deep inside, Anna was laughing at him.
But she couldn't show it on her face, so she held Joseph's arm and smiled. "Well, I know you are good
to me."
"Since you know I am good to you, just behave yourself," said Joseph.
As usual, Anna easily urged Joseph to rush the invitations.
Those who received the invitations were surprised. And Jay was one of them.
As far as he knew, Joseph just divorced Daisy. How could he marry Anna this soon? It happened so
fast. Jay guessed that the media might not know what was going on either.
Or was marriage just a stunt for Joseph to divert the public's attention?
After all, the public had been paying close attention to his every move in the TS Group these days,
which made Joseph very restricted.
Due to this, Joseph seldom went to nightclubs or bars. It was really difficult for him.
To confirm the authenticity of Joseph's marriage, Jay called Charles.
Although Joseph's every move was under Charles' control, he really didn't know what Joseph and
Derrick were talking about.
"Charles, I received an invitation for Joseph and Anna's wedding today." Looking at the red invitation
card in his hand, Jay asked, "Is this real?"
But Charles hadn't received it yet.
It was weekend, and the children didn't need to go to the kindergarten so they were still asleep. When
Jay called in, Nancy was resting in Charles' arms, so he was careful not to wake her up.
"What?"
