The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 161

Chapter 161

Despite the fact that his stomach was a tight knot of anticipation and anxiety, Derek was a picture of calm and composure as he sat with his parents in their living room the following day.

He glanced at the clock, counting down the minutes until Michael would arrive. They were waiting for him so they could tell him about Sandra's plan, as they had agreed the previous evening.

As Derek sat there, his thoughts raced with plans for his meeting with Sandras hitman. Since they had cloned her SIM, getting his number had been easy, and they had sent a text to him using the SIM and asked to meet at a discreet location by noon.

He needed to finish up with Michael quickly so he could meet the hitman at noon since it was almost 10 a.m. already.

His thoughts were interrupted, and he exchanged a glance with both his parents when they received an alert from the monitor at the gate that a car was entering the premises.

'This is it, Derek thought as he readied his mind to face Michael.

Neither of them made any move to get the door since Michael was family and had unrestricted access to the house. But that was going to change in a couple of minutes.

Outside the house, as Michael parked his car, his gaze fell on Derek's car, and he couldn't help wondering why Derek was also there that morning.

Although Derek had every right to be there, he couldn't shake off the feeling that Derek's presence had something to do with the reason his aunt had asked him to join them for breakfast.

Perhaps they wanted to tell him about Derek's plan to propose to Sandra, he thought, and then smiled with approval. But then, his smile faltered when he recalled Sandra's suggestion of getting rid of Evelyn before then.

Could he still let Derek marry Sandra, or should he probably do something and stop it all? Sandra had become too ambitious and vicious for his liking, and he wasn't sure he could trust her to uphold her end of the deal after marriage to Derek.
