In the Splendid Community.
Ernest came back angrily. As soon as he entered, he questioned Rafael, who was busy in the kitchen, “Mom, did you release the news?”
Rafael was stunned for a moment before sighing, “How could I release that kind of news?”
“Then who released it?” Ernest does not believe her word.
“I guess other shareholders did it.” Rafael washed her hands, turned off the fire, and walked out. Ernest followed her.
“What are they trying to do? Am I not about to become the chairman as well as CEO?” Ernest asked in confusion.
“They want your uncle to never be able to make a counterattack. As long as he is not your grandfather’s son, then the shares in his hands will be taken back.”
Derek came over yesterday, and Rafael had a bad feeling.
“They support you because you are young and easy to control, so they will never allow your uncle’s counterattack. It is also your uncle’s fault for being too high-profile. He even wants to continue to control the Saint Group by getting engaged to the daughter of the Webber Group.”
“Engagement?” Ernest has not paid much attention to the news for the past two days. Today, he heard someone else talking about it.
“Yes, your uncle wants to be engaged to the daughter of the Webber Group, so that Webber Group can help him buy shares. When the shares in his hand exceed what your grandfather left for you, he can take the position of chairman in a justified way.”
Rafael spoke in a slow manner.
“What a joke! Mom, do you know that my uncle is married?”
Rafael turned her head and looked at Ernest, “Married?”
“That’s right! Didn’t you see the news some time ago? My uncle was married, and his wife is a particularly good friend of mine.”
This is a sad thing for Ernest.
“Why haven’t you mentioned it to me?”
“I thought you knew! Uncle loves Serina very much. It’s impossible for him to divorce Serina. Moreover, Serina is pregnant.”
This is also a sadness that Ernest does not want to mention, but he even took the initiative to mention it!
“What?” Rafael looked at Ernest in shock. “She was pregnant?”
“Yes, Serina is pregnant, and my uncle loves her so much. How could he abandon her and marry another woman? It is most likely that Lauren put on a show. He wants to force my uncle to do what she likes, right? Lauren probably doesn’t know Serina is pregnant either.”
“That must be Lauren’s idea!”
Rafael smashed her fist against her palm, “That’s too bad. Ernest, quickly call your uncle! I misunderstood him!”
“What? My uncle is missing! Today, Mr. Henry beside my uncle called me and asked if I had seen him or contacted him. He said that my uncle has been missing for a day and night.”
Rafael sighed in annoyance, “It’s all my fault! Derek has always been a very sensitive person. Now that the news that has been released now, he must have fallen into a dead end and can’t come out!”
“Then what should we do?”
Rafael stood up. “Let’s go and look for him.”
In the Polaris City.
Serina was on pins and needles.
The Crystal Palace was in a state of chaos because people could not find Derek.
They even searched all the hotels, restaurants, and bars, but unfortunately, there was no sign of Derek.
Serina also called Henry a few times, but unfortunately, Henry gave negative answers.
The whole day, there was still no news of Derek.
Where will he go?
Serina sat on the sofa and touched her abdomen. “Baby, where do you think Dad will go?”
She had not eaten much for a day, and for the sake of the child in her belly, she barely ate a few mouthfuls at noon.
She suddenly thought of a place.
Could it be that he went there?
Thinking of this, Serina immediately picked up her phone, changed her clothes, and went out the door.
She took a taxi and arrived at the seaside of City Z.
The sea here was not attractive, and it was not a tourist attraction. There were no beautiful beaches, so very few people came here.
The sky was dark now.
Because of its remoteness, the driver let Serina get out of the car in advance, and Serina walked to the seaside.
Although there was no beautiful scenery on this side of the sea, it had open spaces and one could see the moon.
Yes, the moon.
She still remembered when she was on Water Cloud Island, Derek stared at the moon in a daze. At that time, she asked him what he was looking at and he said he was looking at people.
She even laughed at him at that time, could it be that he really looked at the fairy lady.
He replied that his sister had once said that people would go to the moon after death, and when thinking of a dead person, one could look up at the moon.
However, it was impossible for Derek to go to Water Cloud Island. After all, he had to take a ship or other transportations. Then, the best place to see the moon was the seaside.
Serina was just making a guess. She found this place with the imagination of a novelist.
She was still afraid when she couldn’t see anyone around her.
“Derek!” Serina whispered.
No one responded to her.
“Derek, are you here?” Serina summoned up her courage and shouted.
Only the sound of waves answered her.
“Derek! Are you there? I’m Serina!” Serina asked as she arrived at the beach.
It was still the waves that answered her. However, the moon today was very round and bright. She could see something clearly.
A figure was seen from afar.
“Derek, is that you?” Serina gulped.
“Derek, is that you?” she asked. This tall figure resembled Derek.
“Why are you here?” Derek said in a low and magnetic voice.
He did not turn to look at her but could recognize her through the voice.
“It’s really you!” Serina quickly walked over.
Derek stood on the beach, looking up at the moon.
“Derek, let’s go home,” Serina said, coming to Derek’s side.
“Home?” Derek snorted. “I don’t have a home.”
“Don’t say that. You still have me.”
She still remembered when Andrew cut off the father-daughter relationship with her, Derek told her that you still had me.
It was her turn to say this today.
Derek did not speak.
“Derek, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if there is no Saint Group or the chairman position. It doesn’t matter!”
Serina tried to make herself feel relaxed, “I will raise you in the future!” I am now a famous online author. Last month’s salary has reached six digits. I will support you!”
She patted his shoulder, but Derek was indifferent.
“In fact, even if you are not your father’s son, it doesn’t matter.”
Just as Serina finished speaking, Derek suddenly turned his head.
By the moonlight, she could see how cold his eyes were!
Serina was frightened.
