Derek sneered, “That’s right, I did it, so what?”
He was not afraid to admit it, but then what?
“Mr. Derek, I can see you are a gentleman. But it was my decision to disown Serina. It has nothing to do with Clara and Sammy. If you want to revenge, just come to me.
There’s no need to get them involved!”
Andrew tried to calm himself down.
“Revenge?”
Derek sneered again, “Do you think the Nathan Group is worth my revenge?”
Andrew looked at Derek’s eyes. What a pair of dark and deep eyes. Even though he was pretty experienced, he felt that they were somewhat frightening.
“Mr. Derek, what exactly do you want? Clara and Sammy are innocent. Please let them go.”
Andrew had thrown caution to the wind.
“Let them go? Why?”
Andrew held his breath and said, “After all, Clara and Serina are sisters, and Serina has grown up with Sammy. I believe Serina won’t want to see her sister and her … friend get into such trouble.”
Hearing this, Derek felt amused, “So you are saying that I should let them go for Serina’s sake?”
Andrew lowered his head for a while, then he muttered, “Yes.”
“Listen to yourself!” Derek snorted coldly, “Do you remember what I said when you signed the letter of severance? I said that the Norrises will have nothing to do with Serina from now on.”
Andrew went speechless.
“Legally you have nothing to do with Serina right now, and your daughter, Clara, was born between you and another woman. Since you have disowned Serina, she is no longer Clara’s sister.”
“Mr. Derek…”
Derek raised his hand and continued, “I’ve warned that you couldn’t come to Serina for help anymore, but still, you are doing it.”
“I have no other choice! Mr. Derek, please show mercy upon us. I can withdraw that letter right now if that’s what you want.”
“Now you want her as your daughter? It’s too late.”
Andrew didn’t know what to do, “Then … what do you want?”
“I want you to kneel down and apologize to Serina.” Derek narrowed his cold eyes.
“You…” Andrew stared at Derek astonishingly. “She is my daughter! How can a father kneel down to his daughter?!”
“Mr. Andrew, I wonder if you can remember that you are no longer Serina’s father.”
“You…” Andrew was so angry that he couldn’t say a word. He didn’t expect Derek to ask this much!
“Show some sincerity. If you can’t even do such a simple thing, you cannot define it as ‘begging’.”
Derek stood up and said, “See Mr. Andrew out.”
“Yes.” Henry walked to Andrew. “Mr. Andrew, this way. Mr. Derek is very kind. It must be uncomfortable to take the fishing boat, so I will arrange a regular boat to send you back.”
Andrew stood up angrily and said, “Derek, a bully will always get his comeuppance!”
“Really? Then I’ll have to wait. I’ve never seen something like that before.”
Andrew glared at him, “We’ll see! Also, tell Serina that she is the one who doesn’t show respect, so don’t blame me to get back! She’s no longer my daughter from now on!”
“Don’t worry, Serina will be glad to hear that.”
“We’ll see!” Andrew left the living room.
Derek smiled indifferently and stood up to go back to Serina.
Hayden said, “Mr. Derek, there are a few urgent documents to be dealt with.”
Derek was very unhappy, but he followed Hayden to sign those documents.
In the bedroom, Serina was suddenly awakened from her sweet dream by the ringing of her phone.
She was so dazed that she couldn’t even open her eyes. Then she reached out to her phone. She pressed the phone button with her eyes narrowing.
“Hello…”
“Serina, tell you what, you will get your comeuppance by doing this! You should be grateful for my rearing! Even if we have signed the letter of severance, you are still my biological daughter. I raised you and no one can change that fact. Watch out for karma!”
Then he hung up the phone.
Serina was shocked by his violent voice, but just as she was about to say something, he was not there.
Now she was completely awakened. She hurriedly opened the phone records and looked at the number. It was indeed her father, Andrew.
Hadn’t he disowned her? Then why would he scold her? And his words were so venomous!
She was already in a bad mood since she got the cold and had her period, and now she was scolded for no reason!
Serina felt badly treated.
She threw away her phone and rolled over to go back to sleep.
When she woke up again, it was already evening. Derek finally had his work done and returned to his bedroom. As soon as he came in, he saw Serina staring at the ceiling with her big eyes blinking.
He smiled and sat by the bed, “What’s wrong? Is your belly still hurting?”
His tone was gentle.
“A little bit.”
“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
He reminded her. Serina indeed found herself hungry. She stretched out a hand towards Derek and said, “Pull me up.”
Derek was lost for word. How lazy was she!
He reached out and pulled Serina up.
“I’m hungry.”
“I’ll take you to dinner.”
Serina cleaned up briefly and went to the dining room with Derek.
Various delicacies had been prepared on the dining table, and they were all lightly cooked. The ribs were made into rib soup, and a few stir-fried meat dishes were also very light.
“Derek, why are the dishes so light? You know I prefer the strong taste! Look at these soups, how can I enjoy them?”
Derek ignored Serina, but picked up a small bowl and served Serina some rib soup.
“You have a cold on your period, so you can’t have anything strong. The light food is better for you now.”
Then Derek placed the rib soup in front of Serina.
Serina pouted. She didn’t want to have the soup, but she was so hungry that she could only pick up a spoon.
“Eat more and you’ll feel better. Then I’ll bring you the food you like.”
“Fine…” Serina drawled unhappily.
Derek patted Serina’s head and said, “Good girl.”
It felt like an electric current went through her entire body from Derek’s palm!
This man!
After a while, Henry walked over. He looked a little panicky as he whispered in Derek’s ear.
Derek frowned.
Serina looked at them and felt a sudden thrill of foreboding.
