Chapter 895


    "He''s..."After a pause, Eloise heaved a heavy sigh. "With all that has happened, I guess he’s been


    generous, not leaving me for the sake of our marriage."


    "With him keeping that woman for so many years, could he still hold it against you? Anyway, you two


    are quite alike in this aspect,” Derrick made fun of Eloise.


    Eloise was embarrassed and speechless. She had expected them to be hostile, even though she did


    not choose to be there.


    "All right, enough of your stories. What are you truly here for?" Derrick looked over at her as he spoke


    impatiently. Since Nathaniel was holding them as hostages, he knew


    Eloise had note just to chat with them.


    “I..." She hesitated for a moment, nced toward the door, and whispered.” You haven''t transferred


    your shares to Nate, have you?”


    The couple shared a scornful look.


    "So that''s why you''re here!" Derrick snorted, "Eloise, you''ve married into the Tanner family for so many


    years. Have my wife and I


    ever mistreated you? How could you help your son to take what belongs to US?!"


    "No, that''s not what I meant!" Eloise shook her head and hurriedly produced the document that


    Nathaniel had given her. "Nate asked me to bring this over for you to sign. Of course, I know what you


    guys are like, and you surely won''t sign it, but I have no idea what Nate would do if you don’t. He no


    longer listens to me."


    "Do you think I''m afraid of him? I''ve dealt with all kinds of situations.Would I bother to worry about a


    kid?" Scornful, Derrick did not even nce at the agreement.I’m not saying you''re afraid of him. It''s just


    that I worry that he... He cares about no one and even got Ari in jail. As you said, you two have always


    treated me like family. I don''t want to see you two suffer. I..."


    "If that''s the case, take that thing and get out of our sight with your son! If you''re sincere to help, then


    get him to free us."


    "I told you he won''t listen to me. But Derrick, are you truly trapped here? Is there no other way out?"


    Eloise''s tone became meaningful as she kept throwing nces toward the door in case anyone would


    barge in.


    "What do you mean by that?" Derrick said unhappily with a frown.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "No, I don''t mean it in a bad way. I''m just trying to say that Benedict-"


    "How dare you mention him again?” Stephanie cut her off and scolded angrily, "Derrick almost died the


    quickly. Let''s see if you can get the shares or not!"


    "Steph, it''s not my intention to agitate you guys. Since we''ve reached this point, why don''t wey our


    cards on the table? I know Derrick’s hospitalization was part of his game n, and the truth is that


    while we were scheming against one another, my son got the upper hand.


    "Since Derrick faked his illness, he couldn''t have been agitated until he needed emergency procedures,


    and Benedict''s death might not be real. If he’s not dead, is he hiding somewhere? Is he part of your


    game n, Derrick?"


    What Arianna said the other day had reminded Eloise of such a possibility. However, the couple did not


    give much response to what she said.


    Stephanie only fixed her gaze on her husband, worried he might pass out anytime.Clutching his chest


    with a frown, Derrick did not feel any difort besides being upset.
