Derick spoke as if he had every right to
As if these people were just making a fuss over nothing.
Tuve a dear conscience when it comes to Exan!”
Gemma was so furious, she actually laughed.
“A clear conscience? Then what about Pamela?
Caught off guard, Derick’s eyes flickered with guilt, but he quickly harked back-
*After Evan left. I never plaimed to remarry. But Cass was still young. I needed a wife to keep things in order.”
“So that’s why I mamed Pamela. What’s the problem with that?”
And just like that, Gemmu realized–some people have no bottom line.
“You cheating bastard. Fine, you had an affair. Fine, you even had a kid. But did you really think we were all idion”
Shawn clapped his hands.
Pamela, bound up by Drake, was dragged forward.
“You–you dare lay a hand on her? Are you out of your minds!!”
Derick’s eyes darted to Pamela, who crumpled to the floor like a broken doll. It wasn’t concern in his gaze–it was fear. If they could do this her they could do it to him too.

He thought she was just being emotional.
“Bur fine, you refused the divorce. Why the hell did you and your mistress try to poison her?”
Derick was lost in his memories when those words yanked him back to reality. His head shot up.
“Poison? No way. I would never hurt Evan!”
“I admit it–I cheated. So what! I was already the CEO by then. You really think I’d seule for one pregam wife!”
“I wasn’t planning anything. Once the baby was born. I was going to come back to her.”
I loved Evan. I really did!”
Shawn spar at the floor.
“Disgusting”
“You make me sick, old man.”
“Your “love” was ignoring her, cheating on her, and shutting her oul?”
“Who the hell wants love like that?”
Shawn pressed on
“That whole time, you kept making the housekeeper cook fish for Aunt Evan, didn’t your
Derick frowned. “What are you trying to say?”
“Oh So now you’re gonna pretend those fali weren’t hardpicked by your dear mistress?”
Derick’s face twisted in shock. This gaze supped to Panela.
