Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1050:

Terrified, Neil turned to Aelfric, hoping he would step in to help Derek. But Aelfric looked away, clearly refusing to be involved in this mess.

To save Derek from Paul’s wrath, Neil forced a smile and turned to Marissa. “My dear sister-in-law, Derek is young and naive, easily misled by bad influences. Please cut him some slack.”

Marissa sneered. “You must be joking, Neil. Derek might be the youngest in the family, but he’s about my age. He can’t be naive. Clearly, he did this to get back at me because I scolded him for harassing me. This is more than enough reason to discipline him.” Her valid retort left Neil speechless.

With a condescending look on his face, Paul turned to Connor. “What are you going to do now, Mr. Daniels? Your nephew slandered and insulted my daughter.”

Connor pressed his lips together. He didn’t need to be told what to do, as he had no plans to spare Derek the punishment for his mistake.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Nash. I’ll handle this one and make sure he learns his lesson for running his mouth.” With that, Connor instructed Cade, the butler, “Take Derek. From now on, he’s grounded. Arrange etiquette classes for him so he’d learn to behave himself. He can’t leave unless I say so.”
