Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 642 I Quit

Oscar ordered Hugo and Kurt to find out who the mastermind was by hook or by crook. When both of them conducted in-depth investigations, they first found out that the Adertons were the ones behind the incident. Following the trail and subsequent clues, they managed to discover that June had given the orders in concert with Kate.

After Hugo reported the matter to Oscar, the latter commented with a faint smirk, “It seems Mrs. Hisson resents her future daughter-in-law very much. Or else, she wouldn’t have resorted to destroying her own son’s career.”

“Boss, what do you plan to do?”

“Send all the investigative details and pictures in their original form to Derrick. Given the losses his mom caused me, there’s no reason for me to keep this from him, is there?” Oscar ordered.

“Yes, Boss.” Hugo put all the documents and pictures back into the leather envelope.

“You’re dismissed.”

“Yes, Boss.”

After Hugo left, he sent men to deliver the leather envelope to Derrick’s office.

Derrick’s secretary knocked on the door and informed him, “Mr. Hisson, there’s a package for you.”

After receiving it, Derrick waved her away. “You may leave.”

“Right away.” After turning around to leave, she closed the door behind her.

Staring at the package with unknown origins, Derrick remembered that he hadn’t purchased anything online. Nonetheless, when it occurred to him that it might be a surprise sent by Tiffany, he broke into a subconscious smile and felt his exhaustion from work dissipate.

After opening the package, he furrowed his brows when he saw the leather envelope inside. Finally, he decided to unseal it to check.

The moment he saw the documents and pictures, Derrick’s expression drastically changed, for he hadn’t expected his mother to collaborate with an outsider to wreck his career.

Overwhelmed by a sense of bitterness, he could feel a knot in his heart. He couldn’t believe that his mother had tried to ruin his recently established company for her own selfish reasons.

After rubbing the side of his head, he fell asleep on his desk due to the exhaustion from his busy schedule.

Meanwhile, Tiffany was received by his secretary when she arrived at his office with a home-cooked meal in hand.

“Lynn, is Derrick inside?” Tiffany asked.

Lynn nodded. “Did you bring him food again?”

“Yes, I prepared something for him, as I’m worried about him skipping meals due to work.”

“Mr. Hisson is so lucky to have a girlfriend like you. Given that one of you is the company’s boss and the other is the company’s best-selling author, you will definitely be a power couple when you get married in the future.”

Tiffany couldn’t help but laugh before replying, “I’m heading in first. We’ll chat again later.”

“Go ahead.”

Just when Tiffany was about to step into the office, Lynn reminded her, “Tiffany, I have to let you know that Mr. Hisson has been drinking a lot of coffee lately. In fact, he can even drink three cups in an hour. As his girlfriend, you had better advise him against it. Or else, his body might not be able to withstand the punishment.”

With a darkening expression, Tiffany nodded. “I will.”

When Tiffany knocked on the door and didn’t get a response, she gently opened it and popped her head in. Upon seeing Derrick sleeping on his desk, her heart was instinctively filled with sympathy.

After entering his office, she gently closed the door behind her and crept up to his desk. Intending to tidy up his desk, she stumbled upon the documents and pictures on it. The moment she took a closer look, her limbs turned cold from the shocking revelation.

If it wasn’t for her biting her lip desperately, she would have let out an uncontrollable scream, for an avalanche of emotions was raging within her.

Finally, she managed to calm herself down with sheer willpower alone.

Subsequently, she turned up the temperature of the air conditioning so that he wouldn’t catch a cold.

After that, she arranged the documents and pictures back to how she had found them.
