Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 711 His Mother Flung An Ashtray

Meanwhile, Derrick, who had been photographed without his consent, was currently sitting in a restaurant with a frosty expression. He looked at the woman sitting across from him and asked, “Well, why did you ask me out?”

Crystal placidly put some food on his plate and smiled. “After I’ve got to know that you’re in Saspiuburg, I purposely invited you out to have a meal with you. Is there a problem with that? We’ve known each other for so many years, and yet you sounded as though I was scheming against you.”

Derrick didn’t even spare the food a glance as he warned in a cold tone, “Don’t ever appear in front of my mom again. You’re just an outsider; you can’t intervene in my marriage with Tiff. Also, I know you’re the one who caused Jayden to gamble and borrow money at the casino. Me not speaking up doesn’t mean I have no clue about it. Do you think everyone else is a fool?”

Crystal’s hand halted in mid-air. After a split second, she let out a chuckle, acting innocent. “Derrick, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Derrick scoffed, his lips curling into a disdainful smirk. “No, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Don’t provoke me, or I’ll go head-to-head against the Halliwell family.”

Smiling in amusement, Crystal gazed at him. “Derrick, it’s not my fault that Tiffany has a strained relationship with your mom. Ever since you guys sent my cousin back to Saspiuburg because he attempted to sexually harass her, my grandparents were so angry that they sent me abroad. If you don’t believe me, go and check it then. You can’t blame others for your unfortunate marriage.”

Derrick narrowed his eyes into slits, a hint of viciousness in his gaze.

However, the woman he was shooting daggers at seemed unfazed.

Crystal continued to enjoy her food as she said, “Derrick, try the food here. I purposely chose a restaurant that suits your taste.”

Not stopping her from piling food on his plate, Derrick merely stared at her with a cold look in his eyes. “Crystal Halliwell, what do you want? Spit it out. Stop doing those disgusting things behind other people’s back.”

Crystal put down her cutlery and sneered, “Derrick, it’s not kind of you to say that. You said I did disgusting things, and where is your evidence? I’d always been abroad recently. You can check the flights. It’s ridiculous that you accuse me of causing Tiffany’s brother to gamble. I look down on Tiffany. Why would I get myself involved with her brother? It’s true that I know who her brother is, but you can’t hold me accountable for his uselessness and failures in life. I’ve never heard such a funny joke.”
