Yolanda bore Lauren’s ridicule calmly on the other end.
“I don’t care what you think of this matter. I just hope that you can get your son to divorce my daughter as soon as possible. My daughter won’t marry into a rich and powerful family. I hope that you can be generous and let my daughter go.”
“Yolanda, maybe you don’t know that I have already chosen a wife for my son. She is the daughter of the famous Webber Group, Zoe Webber. As for your daughter, I don’t know her at all.”
“It’s best that you take care of your son and settle the divorce as soon as possible. Otherwise, it’s not appropriate to let Webber Group know that your son has been married.”
Yolanda hung up the phone.
She would never let her daughter be Lauren’s daughter-in-law!
On the other side, Lauren had just returned from her vacation in England. She just woke up from a nap and was sitting on the sofa drinking high tea when she received the call from Yolanda.
Hanging up the phone, she was also puzzled. Yolanda had not been in contact with her for many years.
But now Yolanda suddenly called her and said so much unintelligible words.
“Mr. Clark!” Lauren beckoned to him.
“Yes, Madam.” Mr. Clark immediately stepped forward.
“Go and check whether Derek is married or not.”
“Mr. Derek is absolutely unmarried.” Mr. Clark bent down.
“That might not be the case. Go and investigate him!” Lauren was furious.
There was no reason for Yolanda to call her like this unless there was such a thing!
“Alright.” Mr. Clark immediately prepared to investigate, and just as he turned around, a servant came up and whispered to Mr. Clark.
Mr. Clark took a deep breath. He turned around and said to Lauren, “Madam, Miss Sherry Cotton requests an audience.”
“Sherry Cotton? She sounds familiar.”
“She was arranged to accompany Mr. Derek once. She said that she had something important about Mr. Derek to report.”
Lauren disdained to see this kind of woman, but considering Yolanda’s call just now, she had to be suspicious.
“Tell her to come. I also want to know how Derek got along with these women. Go and investigate what I told you just now.”
“Yes.” Mr. Clark left.
Sherry was quickly brought in. Lauren sat upright with her typical superior attitude.
She glanced at Sherry. She motioned with her chin for Sherry to sit.
“Thank you, Madam.” Sherry sat opposite Lauren.
“You came at the right time. I also want to know the condition of my son. We are all women, so don’t be embarrassed. Tell me about the situation at night.”
Lauren squinted her eyes.
“Madam, this is what I came to tell you today.”
“What?”
“I was brought over by Mr. Henry as soon as I arrived. Mr. Henry said that he would pay me some extra compensation, but when I arrived in Mr. Derek’s room, I was not allowed to speak to or…”
“Or what?” Lauren raised her voice.
“Touch Mr. Derek.” Sherry lowered her head.
“Ridiculous!” Lauren smashed the cup on the table to the ground.
With a crashing sound, the cups were smashed into pieces, and servants immediately came to clean up the pieces.
“At first, I thought it was because Mr. Derek didn’t like me. Later, I accidentally met a girl who served Mr. Derek before. She said she was the same as me.”
Lauren’s eyes immediately narrowed into a thin line, and a fierce gaze radiated from the gap.
“Bastard!”
Sherry was so scared that her body shrank. Looking at Lauren’s angry appearance, she took a deep breath to relax.
“Madam, I, I guess, Mr. Derek has never touched the woman that Madam sent to him, because…”
“Because of what. Tell me!” Lauren berated.
“Because when I went out from Mr. Derek’s place, I saw a woman. She was wearing pajamas and entered the Crystal Palace very casually.”
Lauren gritted her teeth. Derek always behaved as she ordered her. He had never disobeyed her!
But now he actually complied in appearance but played tricks behind her back!
Sherry lowered her head with a cold smile on her face.
She knew that this was an opportunity for her. When she first saw Serina at the Crystal Palace, she felt that something was wrong.
Considering her status, Lauren immediately calmed herself down and looked at Sherry.
“Miss Cotton?”
“Yes, Madam.”
“You did well. Go down. I won’t let Mr. Clark treat you badly.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Lauren! Then I will take my leave. In the future, if you need my help, please tell me directly.”
Lauren smiled and nodded, not saying a word.
Sherry was taken away by the servant.
At this time, Mr. Clark also finished the phone call and walked over.
“How is it?”
“I just called the Civil Affairs Bureau. The staff over there helped to check the system. It shows that Mr. Derek is … indeed married now.”
“Married?” Who is that woman?” Lauren’s expression changed.
“It’s a woman named Serina Norris.”
“A Norris?”
Lauren narrowed her eyes. “Norris. Serina Norris. Andrew Norris. Serina should be Yolanda’s daughter, right?
“Call him immediately and tell him to come back to see me!”
However, this time Mr. Clark did not move.
“What are you still standing there for? Could it be that even you are going against me?”
When Lauren saw Mr. Clark stand still, she became more and more irritable.
“Madam, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to bring Mr. Derek back now.”
“What’s wrong? If he dares to do it, he should have expected that one day I would know!”
“Madam, please calm down first. Since Mr. Derek dared to secretly register his marriage, it means that he cares about this girl. Otherwise, he would never dare to go against your wishes and bring her home.”
“So what?” Lauren was still panting with rage.
“Mr. Derek has gone through a lot of trouble for this girl. He must be deeply in love with this girl. If Madam doesn’t ask about it and directly orders Mr. Derek to divorce and cut off contact with this girl, it will inevitably hurt the mother and son relationship between Mr. Derek and Madam.”
“…”
“Mr. Derek is no longer a child. He is an adult. Especially in terms of feelings, He must have his own judgment.”
“What should I do now?”
Lauren felt a headache when she thought of this.
She had already arranged this marriage with the Webbers, but now Derek was already married!
Although Webber Group was not as powerful as the Saint Group, it was one of the top groups! The consequences of offending Webber Group were extremely unfavorable to the Saint Group.
“Why don’t we go with it?”
