Chapter 815

Derrick didn't want to head downstairs at all, but Kate clearly wasn't going to let him go that easily. As expected, she went upstairs and knocked on his door.

He was already feeling pretty exasperated, so when he was disturbed by his mother, it intensified his frustration.

Upon opening the door, he suppressed his rage and asked, "I've already made plenty of compromises today. What more do you want from me?"

She stared at him, hurt and aggrieved. "Do you think I'm a mother who's only good at upsetting her son, Derrick?"

His eyebrows furrowed at her question.

If Kate had questioned him in a more timid manner, he would have been able to rebut her confidently. However, that clearly wasn't the case, so he couldn't bear to speak harshly.

Rubbing his forehead, Derrick said, "Do you have something you want from me, Mom? If you don't, I'd like to sleep now."

She was holding two cups of milk. "I poured two cups of milk for you and Tiff. You two can sleep after drinking it. I still haven't seen her even though I've already returned for a while. Is she angry with me?

"No, she's just asleep because she's tired.'

Kate furrowed her eyebrows. "Drink the milk first, Derrick. I'm just trying to be nice.”

In order to prevent his mother from bothering him further, he had no choice but to drink it.

As she watched her son empty the cup completely, excitement flashed past her eyes.

Kate smiled. "All right, I won't bother you and Tiff any longer, Derrick. I'll head downstairs and talk to Crystal. She's leaving soon, and there's no telling if I can meet her again."

Derrick nodded coldly.

When she went downstairs, Crystal stood up in a hurry and asked, "Did he drink it, Mrs. Hisson?"

A smile was still present on Kate's face. "There's no way he won't if I ask him to. I've already asked the housekeepers. They said Tiffany never came back after she left at noon. So, he's going to be the only person in the house. After a while, go ahead and seize your opportunity. I'll ensure everyone sees you on his bed the next day."

Crystal nodded excitedly. No one's going to be here. It's like the heavens are helping me out. When everyone sees me waking up in Derrick's bed tomorrow, that'll solidify my relationship with him. With Mrs. Hisson's help, I doubt he'll refuse to take responsibility.

No one knew Kate was such a lunatic that she would be willing to set up her son.

Even if Terrence got angry after learning the news, there would be nothing he could do about it.

Kate was confident that if Tiffany saw what Derrick did, she would be so crestfallen that she would leave her son.

After waiting for a while, she said, "I'll take a look at Derrick's condition first before you head upstairs."

Crystal nodded in response and paced back and forth while the older woman checked up on Derrick.

Soon, Kate returned with a smile and nodded at the younger woman. "You can head upstairs now."
