"You know what? These are all Joseph and Derrick's fault. They don't want us to live a peaceful live.
Now that everything's a mess, they must be very happy." Angelina sobbed, "I also regret it now.
Although Nancy is from a poor family, she is a good person. Do you think so?"
Nodding his head, Hardy replied, "Yes, I've always thought that Nancy is a good woman."
"Then why didn't we let her marry Charles earlier and make such a mess instead? Now... We don't
know where she is now. What should we do?" Since the day Nancy had gone missing, Angelina lost a
lot of weight. She was remorseful and anxious that she couldn't eat properly. "If Nancy dies, what about
the two children? No... Nancy won't die."
Taking back what she had said, Angelina patted her mouth. "I'm talking nonsense. I'm talking
nonsense."
"She won't die. How could she die so easily?" answered Hardy. Their conversation was interrupted by
Derrick's scream.
"Hardy, if you don't come to save me, I will be tortured to death by your son."
To Derrick's surprise, Jay kicked his fracture, which made him scream like a pig. Beads of sweat
formed on his forehead.
"You two bastards, what did I do to you? Why are you bullying me?" Upon realizing that he couldn't call
someone to help him, Derrick felt frightened and regretful all of a sudden. He regretted drugging
Frederic every day. If he continued to do this, Frederic would probably never wake up again. Without
him, Derrick would be in a big trouble.
It was David's idea. David said that they had to use Frederic in order to distract Charles.
As expected, Charles got distracted but Derrick had lost his protective umbrella. Now that Charles was
torturing him, no one came to protect him.
Feeling helpless, Derrick shouted, "Dad, Dad, wake up quickly. Charles is going to throw me down and
beat me to death. Come and save me!"
Unfortunately, Frederic didn't have any reaction at all. He was still asleep and no one knew when he
would wake up.
Without tearing off his gaze from Derrick, Charles ordered, "Jay, go get a bottle of water!"
"Okay." Then Jay walked out with the thermos bottle in his hand.
Soon Jay came back with the thermos bottle full of hot water.
"What are you going to do, Charles?" The moment he saw what Jay was holding, Derrick felt scared. If
it was poured on him, he would be disfigured.
The next second, Charles was already holding the bottle above Derrick's head. "Do you want to tell me
where Nancy is?"
Terrified, Derrick screamed, "Charles, I want to call the police!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Charles replied, "Okay, call the police. I'll get your phone." There was no hint
of fear in Charles' eyes when he put the phone in Derrick's hand. "I'm looking forward to see the police
now. I can tell them that you killed the driver in order to keep his mouth shut. Derrick, you will die
miserably. What do you want to happen? It's up to you now!"
"You...You... Charles, you are slinging mud at me!" Derrick still refused to admit it.
"Come on, watch the video." The footage was saved on Charles' phone. Originally, he had planned to
get even with Derrick after Frederic was discharged from the hospital. But Charles didn't expect that
Derrick would cooperate with David to set up Nancy. He couldn't wait any longer. The children were
waiting and his own anxiety made him want to see Nancy as soon as possible. How could he care
about Derrick's life now?
Besides, Derrick deserved it.
From the very beginning, Derrick knew that Charles had his evidence, but since he didn't see it, he
pretended that nothing had happened.
But now, it was obvious that Derrick couldn't pretend anymore.
So Derrick became shameless. "Charles, where did you get this video? How could I, a dignified man,
do such a vicious thing? You are framing me."
"Then call the police!" The truth was, Derrick had no confidence to call the police.
His hand was trembling, and the wound that was kicked by Jay was still aching.
It was all because he was guilty.
"Charles, I am your uncle. Can you be kind to me? As you can see, I have been in the hospital for so
long. If no one assisted me, I couldn't even leave the room. How could I know where Nancy is? I was
lucky that I wasn't burned to death that night. Please don't make things difficult for me, Okay?" As of
the moment, Derrick had no other choice but to use soft tactics.
"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Jay got angry and gave Derrick another kick.
"Ouch!" Derrick fell on the floor. "You bastard, what do I do to you? How dare you hurt me so blatantly?
Don't be so arrogant just because you have Charles with you. Wait for me to go out..."
Before he finished his words, he suddenly felt a pain on his head.
Hot water ran down from Derrick's head to his face and then to his back.
"Ouch, you brat, are you going to burn me to death?" Derrick exclaimed.
Gritting his teeth, Charles threatened, "If you don't tell me the truth, I'll pour this bottle of hot water on
you. No, how can one bottle be enough? I'll use two bottles, three bottles, and you'll be burned beyond
recognition!"
"I..." Obviously, Derrick couldn't escape from Charles' torment today. So, in the end, he could only roll
his eyes.
There was a saying that a wise man knows when to retreat. As selfish as he was, Derrick thought that
no matter what happened, he would have to save his own life first.
"Stop, Charles. Listen to me first. Nancy is your woman, and she is my future niece. Even if I have a
grudge against you, Nancy had nothing to do with it. I can't do anything to her. A few days ago... David
came here."
Of course, Charles knew that Derrick was going to throw the blame on David.
"Well, you have a little conscience. What did David say to you?" Charles asked.
For a moment, Derrick faltered. "He said he hated you very much. If you hadn't exposed Anna and
me... Joseph should've been married Anna and the baby wouldn't die, so I suspect... This is..."
To add a little suspense, David stopped midsentence.
Looking at Derrick with his cold eyes, Charles asked, "Do you think David did it?"
"It's just a presumption. I don't have any evidence. You know, evidence is necessary for everything, so
you should find one first." Knowing his nephew, Derrick had predicted what he was going to do next.
After getting some information from him, Charles would confront David.
David would definitely bite back when he knew that Derrick told on him. However, Derrick just had no
choice but to pass the buck to David to stall Charles.
It would take some time for Charles to figure everything out.
At that time, David and Derrick worked together to buy shares from TS Group and they would achieve
their goal.
It was a beautiful fantasy, but it was also difficult to put into action.
