Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 518 Promise To Help

Derrick crossed his arms and said boldly, “Jennifer, if you don’t tell me everything that happened, it’s hard for me to be of help. Tiff cares about Amelia a lot. At times, she’d even prioritize her over me. Hence, I’m sorry. If you don’t tell me what happened, I’d have to reject you. I don’t want my relationship with Tiff to get affected.”

Jennifer could only stare at him with a conflicted expression. However, her glasses were blocking her face. That was why Derrick could speak to her frankly, as he could hardly see her expression the whole time.

Derrick shrugged and added, “Jennifer, you’re like a sister to me. If it were something else, I would’ve accepted your request in an instant. However, it concerns Tiff. I’m sorry I can’t help you. In my heart, no one is more important than her.”

Upon hearing that, Jennifer smiled, albeit a bitter one. “Derrick, can’t you just lie to me once? Indeed, regardless of gender, once someone has gotten into a relationship, they’ll ditch their friends for their significant others.” Jennifer then mocked herself on purpose when she said, “It seems like I’m nothing compared to the woman you hold dearly to your heart. However, I still hope you can help me this time around. I have nowhere to turn to anymore. Please, help me.”

“You’d have to tell me why Mrs. Larson hurt Amelia first. I have to know exactly what happened so that I know what to say to Amelia, right? Otherwise, I might make things worse.”

“Are you willing to help me?”

“Well, tell me what happened first.” Derrick didn’t straight out reject her request for help.

Finally, Jennifer told him roughly what had happened.

Derrick listened and processed it before asking, “Are you saying that Mrs. Larson went there on purpose to find trouble with Amelia? After that, she accidentally injured her?”

Embarrassment flashed across Jennifer’s face, and she kept mum. Her silence suggested that she was admitting to it.

Derrick changed his posture and said, “Jennifer, I can’t help you. The moment I say something about it, Tiff will hate me for it.”

Jennifer widened her eyes and stared at Derrick intently through her glasses.

“Derrick, are you really not going to help me?” Jennifer was unwilling to give up.

“I’m sorry. It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I can’t. If it were something else, I’d have helped you in a heartbeat. But since it concerns Amelia, there’s nothing I can do to help.” Derrick rejected straightforwardly.

Jennifer then sank deep into her thoughts.

Suddenly, she stood up before dropping to her knees. Derrick was stumped when she did that.
