Chapter 833 Coward

The next day, Terrence went to Derrick’s publishing company personally. Upon seeing him, Derrick’s secretary was shocked. She quickly walked over to Terrence. “Old Mr. Hisson, what brings you here?”

Terrence shot her a glance. “Where’s Derrick?” he asked in a low voice. “Mr. Derrick is having a meeting in the conference room. Why don’t you wait inside?” the secretary replied in fear and trepidation.

With that, Terrence walked into Derrick’s office. The secretary then came in a little while later with some tea and snacks. “Old Mr. Hisson, you can have some tea first. Mr. Derrick will be back after around half an hour,” the secretary said.

“You may go now.” “All right. I’m going back to continue with my work.” After the secretary left the office, Terrence stood up and observed Derrick’s office.

Suddenly, he noticed a photo of Derrick and Tiffany on the office desk. A complicated emotion flashed across his eyes as he fell into deep thought.

As soon as Derrick returned from his meeting, his secretary approached him. “Mr. Derrick, Old Mr. Hisson is here. He’s now waiting for you in your office.”

Derrick lowered his gaze, nodding.

The next moment, he opened the office door and walked inside. Loosening his necktie, he greeted Terrence casually, “Granddad, you’re here.”

Derrick appeared disheveled and unkempt. Moreover, his tired eyes were bloodshot while a dejected expression marred his face. Seeing that, Terrence couldn’t help but frown. “Derrick, do you even see yourself? You used to be a man full of vigor and spirit. Why are you like this now?”

Derrick took off his necktie and threw it on the couch on the other side before sitting down. Looking exhausted, he asked, “Granddad, why are you here? Do you have anything to discuss with me?”

Terrence’s heart clenched. He said, “Derrick, I know you’re upset, but you’ve already divorced Tiffany. Nothing is going to change that. How could you go to Oscar’s house to cause trouble? You even broke their couch.”

Derrick let out a chuckle. “Oh? Oscar has gone to complain to you, has he? Did Tiff go together with him? I tried to call her, but her number’s not in service anymore. She changed her number just because she wanted to avoid me, so I actually hope that she has gone to see you.”

If one paid close attention, they would probably notice that Derrick was scratching his suit uncontrollably when he was speaking.
