Chapter 556 Leaving Him

“Now that Tiffany’s working with Oscar, I’m afraid she’s eyeing our family’s wealth, Finnick. If Derrick marries her, our family will fall under her control. Oscar will take over Hisson Group and leave us with nothing left.” The more Kate thought about it, the more she became afraid. She was utterly convinced that it was all a conspiracy. If Amelia knew the help Oscar and her provided to Tiffany would get interpreted like that, they probably would’ve withered and died on the spot.

Kate had watched too many television dramas.

Finnick comforted, “Just rest, okay, Darling? This whole thing isn’t as complicated as you think. I’ll ask Tiffany to have a talk with me later. Don’t worry, I won’t screw everything up.”

“Can you?” She was a little unconvinced.

“I may not be as good as my son when it comes to business, but don’t forget that I’m good at other things too. Don’t worry.”

 

She gave it some thought and nodded.

“Be careful, then. That quick-witted woman has a sharp tongue. She writes novels too, so she’s pretty good at logical reasoning. Don’t get played by her.” There was a pause before she continued, “Help me deal with the discharge procedure. I don’t want to stay in the hospital any longer. The smell is awful. I can rest back home too.”

 

“You need to stay here one more day for observation. If the doctor says you’re fine, we’ll leave.”

“No. I want to leave right now. Even though I’m in the hospital, Derrick didn’t even visit me once. My efforts at raising my son are in vain because he has forgotten all about me to keep his wife happy,” she uttered with dissatisfaction and fury.

It was then Derrick arrived.

“Mom, Dad.” He opened the door and greeted.

Kate, whose heart was filled with fury just a second ago, quickly returned to her bed.

Finnick stared with wide eyes. When he saw how she was blinking at him, he instantly understood what she was trying to say.

“Is Mom still not awake, Dad?” Derrick approached the bed.

“Tiffany stopped by earlier to tell us that your mom is pretending to be sick in an attempt to force you and her to break up.” Finnick was making up lies on the spot. “I don’t want to interfere with your relationship because I know you have your own strong opinions, Derrick. You probably don’t want to listen to what I have to say now that you’re all grown up. Besides, I’m not the only son in the family, and your grandfather favors you a lot. Your mom and I still need to rely on you if we want to live comfortably. However, your mother truly loves you. Very few people ever talked to your mother like that ever since she was married into the Hisson family, but Tiffany… I’m not going to judge her that much, but the fact she was willing to talk about your mother like that right in front of me inside your mother’s ward doesn’t leave a good impression on me. She doesn’t respect her elders at all. I believe you should reconsider your relationship with her.”

When Derrick heard that, his eyebrows furrowed. He didn’t want to believe it, but he couldn’t help but suspect it was true to some degree if both of his parents badmouthed Tiffany.

It only took a few moments before he tossed out all the doubts in his mind. Tiffany may be a straightforward woman, but she’s not stupid enough to badmouth an elder right in front of them. This must be a misunderstanding.
