Emmanuel still had some concerns that Derrick and Magnus were somehow connected despite his initial judgment suggesting the complete opposite.

“Mhm,” Mackenzie responded casually and ended the call.

Although his wife was somewhat distant, Emmanuel felt a warmth coursing through his heart. It seemed that she trusted him a great deal. It was completely different from when they had just gotten married, as she was suspicious of everything.

“Well, that’s settled. Shall we head to The Paradise, Mr. Finch?” inquired Emmanuel as he approached Derrick after ending the call.

Derrick grinned mischievously, completely abandoning his well-mannered businessman persona and adopting a more rogue-like demeanor. He playfully bumped into Emmanuel’s shoulder and chuckled. “Hah! You were just pretending to be a decent person earlier. You truly are an experienced man! That’s why I’ve always said that no man is truly decent. Look at you and your acting earlier!”

Emmanuel could only smile wryly and didn’t bother explaining.

In reality, he had been to The Paradise once before. Mackenzie had asked him to handle Samuel. So, he had brought Sheldon over here to confront the man.

“Come on. You can hop in my car. See? I’ll even cover the gas money!”

Derrick was very enthusiastic. Since he had said that this was a business trip at the company’s expense, he wouldn’t allow Emmanuel to spend a penny!

Not only that, he didn’t act like a superior at all. Even though he was now a minor shareholder in the company, he didn’t order Emmanuel, his subordinate, to drive. It was as if they were good friends. Every action he had taken and the words he used made it seem as though he was genuinely here to have a good time with Emmanuel! In fact, he was so friendly that it also looked as though he would be more than willing to defend Emmanuel if he got into a bar fight with someone.
