Losing Nancy would be the beginning of Charles' decadence. To Charles, nothing was more important
now than Nancy. But Charles could never leave Frederic behind.
Whether in the business world or in the family, Frederic's existence mattered the most. That was why
Charles wouldn't be able to trade his life for anything else.
"Okay, Dad. I'll listen to you. I'll send someone to take care of Frederic. After all, I'm familiar with the
hospital," Anna said viciously.
"Be careful." Since Derrick couldn't get out of the hospital, the only person who could help David now
was Anna. As for other people, David obviously couldn't trust them easily.
"I know." As soon as the call ended, Anna dialed another person's number—someone who she never
thought she would need at times like this.
"Anna... Long time no see." A woman's laughter came from the other line.
"Yeah, long time no see." Although Anna's voice sounded nice, the corners of her lips twitched.
This woman's name was Leda, and she was one of Anna's college classmates.
During those days, Anna was too rich and ostentatious, and Leda was just a gangster. She knew
Anna's secrets and used them to blackmail her countless of times.
Later on, Anna heard that Leda had been cheated by a man. She became broke and her life had been
a mess.
Well, it was a lot worse than Anna's life.
According to what Anna heard, this woman didn't become a doctor, but a procuress in a night club.
'If I give Nancy to her... Charles will be very anxious, right?'
"What's up?" While taking to her on the phone, Leda lit up a cigarette.
"We are old classmates. Can't we catch up?" A smile appeared on Anna's face, but one of her
eyebrows rose.
If Anna had one advantage, that was no matter how much hatred she had in the past, she could let it
go for her own interests now.
"Of course, we can. I thought you're going to take advantage of the situation to take revenge on me
while I'm down." Flicking the ash of her cigarette, Leda crossed her arms and smiled.
"That was in the past. You can take it as money I gave to my old classmate. It's not a big deal. But I
have a job for you. Will you accept it?" In her mind, Anna knew that she wouldn't say no.
"My life is worthless. You know, as long as I can make money, I don't care."
"That's good. Let's meet!" As expected, Leda took the job, so Anna smiled in satisfaction. The
conversation was just short because Anna would only talk to her about the details when they met.
Nancy and Charles knew nothing about this.
As soon as Charles got time, he began to prepare for their upcoming wedding, and the internet had
already hyped it up.
The people were asking why Charles didn't want to marry Nancy even though he had returned as the
CEO of TS Group.
Instead of explaining, Charles wanted to show them actions.
So he asked Hiram to deal with the wedding matter.
On this day, Charles and Nancy came to visit Frederic together.
Before they came, Frederic looked energetic. But when he saw Charles, his mood shifted. "Do you
think I'm dead? I haven't seen you for so many days."
"I'm busy." It was Charles' only reply.
"Mr. Fu..." Afraid of being disliked by Frederic, Nancy didn't call him Grandpa.
Frowning, Frederic said, "Humph! You are going to marry Charles. How dare you not call me
Grandpa?"
Seeing how Frederic reacted, Angelina said in a hurry, "Nancy, change how you address him now."
After giving Angelina a glance, Nancy obediently repeated, "Hello, Grandpa."
Nodding his head, Frederic asked, "Well, did you come here to tell me the good news?"
Although his tone was cold, there was a ghost of smile on his lips.
"Yes, now that TS Group has stabilized, I want to marry Nancy as soon as possible..." As he spoke,
Charles sat down and peeled the mango for Frederic.
"Well, have you told your Uncle Derrick about it?" asked Frederic.
It was Frederic's wish to make his family get along with each other.
"Not yet. Uncle Derrick is still silly. I don't think he can attend it." The truth was, Charles didn't want
Derrick to take part in his wedding because he was afraid that Derrick would take the opportunity to
make trouble.
With a snort, Frederic retorted, "Silly? He is still your Uncle Derrick. How can you not invite him?"
"Let's see. If he wants to go, I'll send someone to take him there." Although he didn't really like the idea,
Charles compromised.
As to prevent Derrick from doing something bad, Charles would send people to watch over him.
"What about Joseph? How is he recently? He hasn't come to see me for a long time." Speaking of
Joseph, Frederic couldn't help but sigh. "It's not as if our family can't afford to raise him. Why does he
want to be an actor?"
"I think he's a good actor. As long as he's happy, that's good. He doesn't like doing business, so don't
make things difficult for him. Let him work hard. Besides, it's also a career." It was not that Charles
didn't care about Joseph. He was just happy for Joseph thinking that he and Daisy had a chance to get
back together.
Joseph had lived for so many years, but in the end, he got nothing.
If Daisy was there with Joseph, at least there would be a woman and a family for him. They would be
happy and peaceful for the rest of their lives.
In addition to that, money was never a problem. If Charles had money, Joseph would have money too.
Showbiz was a good career for Joseph.
"Humph! Fu family is so lucky to have an actor. Well, as long as he doesn't make trouble, just let him
be." After all, Frederic couldn't do anything about it so he could only sigh.
"Well, we're going to see Derrick now." Charles handed the mango to Frederic and stood up.
"Don't provoke him. He is insane." If truth be told, Frederic knew that Derrick was pretending to be ill.
But in order to save Derrick's life, he had no choice but to insist that Derrick was sick.
Ignoring Frederic's words, Charles snorted coldly and took Nancy to Derrick's room.
At this moment, Derrick was lying on the bed while thinking about what David was going to do.
However, as a sick man, Derrick could do nothing but to be David's confidant.
When he heard the door open, Derrick turned to look at the door. But when he saw Charles and Nancy,
he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Both Charles and Nancy were smart people. If Derrick said something wrong, all his previous efforts
would be wasted. So he'd better keep his mouth shut.
Charles, of course, saw that Derrick was pretending to be asleep. He stood in front of Derrick's bed and
said, "Derrick, I know you are not asleep. Anna had a miscarriage because of Joseph. Is Anna a
woman who will swallow insult and humiliation? She will revenge on Joseph. Don't you really care
about Joseph's life?"
What Charles wanted was for Derrick to persuade Anna and take this opportunity to get rid of her
However, he didn't get a response from Derrick.
The room fell silent. Charles waited for Derrick to talk but he didn't. In the end, he said coldly, "I know
that David came here. What did he say?"
Stunned, Derrick unconsciously moved his finger.
How did Charles know that David came to him?
