Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 338 Missing Someone Is Torture

Two hours later, Oscar entered the room, walking tall and regal. As soon as he appeared in the doorway, all three of the Hissons turned to look at him. Three persons, three pairs of eyes with three different expressions. Terrence was admiring him, Kate was comparing him to Derrick, and Finnick was simply looking at him in mild wonder. After all, he was a brilliant young man; easily liked by all.

Oscar looked back at the three people seated on the sofa. He recognized Terrence right away. After all, he was once a formidable man in the business circle. When Oscar was just starting out in the business world, he had been lucky to receive guidance from more experienced mentors. He respected Terrence for his straight and honest business mind, unlike the others.

“Dad, Mom, Mr. Terrence,” Oscar greeted them politely.

“Oscar, come sit with us,” Olivia called out to him, waving him over to them.

Once Oscar was seated, Olivia began explaining the purpose of the Hissons’ visit. “Oscar, tell me honestly, were you the one who grabbed Derrick from the airport?”

Oscar did not bother denying the truth. He nodded and said, “I had something to ask him, so, I sent someone to pick him up.”

Olivia’s eyes widened in surprise. She had thought that the Hissons had come to accuse her son of something he had not done. She had not expected this turn of events.

“What was so urgent that you needed to keep him for the past five days? Do you know that this could be considered unlawful detention? Mr. Terrence has even come here personally to ask for Derrick. You have to let him go this minute,” Olivia said in a disapproving tone.

“I wanted to hear certain information from Derrick’s personally. However, his lips are a little tight. So, I have decided to keep him with me for a few days while they loosened up,” Oscar said simply.

Kate cleared her throat delicately and said in her soft voice, “Mr. Oscar, if Derrick had done you wrong, I apologize to you on his behalf. However, he is my only son, and I will be heartbroken indeed if something were to happen to him. So, would you please free him first and we can talk about everything else later? I believe the Clintons are not vengeful people. I don’t think there’s any need for you to keep my son locked away for so many days.”

Oscar glanced at Kate. Surprise flashed across his eyes.

He was taken aback by her beauty. However, he returned to his usual self within a split second. He finally knew where Derrick had gotten his good looks from.

“I think there is a misunderstanding here, Mrs. Hisson. Derrick is staying with me willingly. I’ve not locked him away forcefully. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him yourself,” Oscar replied casually.
