Chapter 882


    Amelia, Tiffany, and Kurt nned to leave before the charity g came to an end. They had just


    walked out of the event space when Derrick and Oscar came out after them. None of them knew why


    Isabe didn''t tag along with Oscar.


    Oscar swept his gaze over Kurt, and thetter immediately stepped aside.


    Seeing Kurt''s action, Amelia got worried that he would get punished for following her to Anndur


    without informing anyone a year ago. Back when he defied Oscar''s orders and followed her to Beshya,


    Oscar didn''t punish him for her sake, but her words didn''t have any power over him now. Will Kurt be


    safe? I''m not sure about that.


    Amelia wasn''t confident at all.


    “Kurt, you can head back without us. Tiff and I will take a taxi back,” Amelia uttered. She wanted to


    send Kurt away on purpose.


    Hearing that, Kurt shook his head gently and stood aside like amp post.


    It was obvious to Amelia that he was worried about her, so she heaved a silent sigh and didn''t press


    on.


    Amelia took it as a normal interaction, but Oscar couldn''t stop the displeasure rising within.


    He recalled what Isabe told him earlier, “Oscar, I think your bodyguard, Kurt, isn''t loyal to you. It is


    obvious he is in love with Amelia. He had the audacity to follow her to Anndur, so it was pretty


    obvious how he felt about her. I''m afraid they had gotten involved intimately a long while ago. I think


    you should fire such a disloyal bodyguard. Who knows, he might betray you one day.”


    Oscar narrowed his eyes as difort rose in his heart.


    He didn''t have a good impression of Amelia in his memories, but seeing her close to his bodyguard


    made him feel double the betrayal.


    “Kurt, you should know the consequences of betraying the organization. A year ago, you deserted your


    post without asking for a leave. I didn''t pursue the matter. Now that you''re back, go get your


    punishment. After you endure the punishment, I will no longer be your employer,” Oscar announced as


    he looked straight at Kurt.


    Kurt hung his head low and nodded. “Got it, Boss,” he responded tly.


    Amelia instinctively stood in front of Kurt in a protective manner and met Oscar''s gaze.


    “Mr. Clinton, you can get mad at me. You were the one who gifted Kurt to me as a bodyguard, so it is


    normal for him to follow me overseas. You told me he only has to listen to my orders. You might not


    remember anything now, but I believe you will keep your word, right?” Amelia told him with a smile. No


    one would suspect her as she looked calm and unruffled.


    Oscar gazed at her without a word. Strangely, his instincts told him to trust her.


    “Oscar.” Isabe strode out and interrupted their interaction.


    Oscar''s smile slipped, and he looked serious.


    Holding the edge of her gown, Isabe came over to hold Oscar''s arm. She then gave Kurt and Amelia


    a nonchnt look.


    “Kurt, you''re finally back, huh? Ms. Winters and Oscar have gotten a divorce, so you can be open with


    your rtionship. Back when they were still together, I noticed how protective you were of her. Now,


    you can finally be with her,” Isabe said innocently.


    Kurt shot her an icy look but said nothing.


    “Ms. Walker, I don''t think you''re in the ce toment on my rtionship with Kurt,” Amelia retorted.


    “Yes, your rtionship is none of my business, but I feel bad for Oscar. Your marriage was rocky, but I


    think it was disgusting for you to flirt with his bodyguard behind his back,” Isabe uttered. She was


    trying to be ambiguous.


    Amelia pursed her lips.


    “Isabe, the truth will reveal one day. What goes aroundes around. You know what despicable


    trick you used, so stop framing an innocent woman. I feel ashamed on your behalf,” Tiffany dered


    angrily.


    Isabe''s exquisitely made-up face turned distorted slightly.


    “Oscar, let''s go. My tummy feels queasy. Besides, I refuse to talk to a bunch of crazy dogs.” Isabe


    schooled her expression carefully and made sure her expression was normal before she talked to


    Oscar in a wheedling tone.


    Oscar turned slightly to look at her and nodded in response.


    Taking his hand, Isabe led him away. A hint of reluctance appeared in Amelia''s eyes as she watched


    Oscar''s back.


    “Amelia, won''t you go after him?” Derrick inquired, smiling.


    Amelia looked away and turned to Derrick. Feeling amused, she shook her head.


    “Derrick, you must''vee out as you wanted to talk to Tiff. Kurt and I shall give you some space.


    Don''t you dare bully Tiff verbally,” Amelia warned.


    Derrick bobbed his head.

    After Amelia and Kurt went aside, Derrick stared at Tiffany with deep affection swirling in his eyes.


    Tiffany felt her cheeks turn pink as she avoided his gaze shyly.


    “Tiff, how was life overseas?” Derrick asked.


    Tiffany raised her head to look at him. A goofy grin teased at her lips as she gave a bark ofughter.


    “Not bad. I had a great time. I also published two novels that were well-received by my readers. This


    time, I flew back to talk to Mr. Zabriskie who adapted my novel previously. He is going to make a movie


    based on the novel,” she revealed happily.


    A smile bloomed on Derrick''s lips.


    “I''ve read both novels, and they are different from your previous work. They are actually a different


    style. Nevertheless, I love them. If I''m still the CEO of a publishingpany, I''d definitely fight for the


    adaptation rights,” he revealed.


    Tiffany widened her eyes and stared at him incredulously.


    “I closed down mypanies and took over Hisson Group. Grandpa handed over everything to me, so


    I am now the head of the Hisson family,” he added calmly.


    But thepanies were everything to you. Are you sure you are willing to give them up?


    Tiffany wanted to ask the question out loud but remembered that they weren''t in a rtionship


    anymore. Thus, she swallowed her words.


    “Thepanies weren''t that big. I was too stubborn in the past and lost the love of my life. Now, I


    finally understand that the only way to protect my loved one is to be so strong that no one can


    deny me what I want. After you left, someone taught me this quote,” Derrick exined as he saw the


    confusion in her eyes.


    He wanted to tell her that thepanies he established were meaningless without her around.


    Feeling flustered, Tiffany wanted to flee the scene.


    “That''s great. I need to leave. I''ve been suffering from jetg the past few days and didn''t get to sleep


    too much. I''m really sleepy,” she mumbled with her head hung low.


    Derrick nodded. “Sure. Go back and get some rest.”


    He didn''t force her to stay as he knew how important it was to take things slow. “Tiff, we might not be a


    married couple anymore, but we''re still friends. You don''t have to put on that expression. I won''t harm


    you. When you found someone new, I shall give you my blessings,” he added.


    No one knew how difficult it was for him to say words that went against his heart.


    Disappointment overwhelmed Tiffany when she heard what he said.


    “I''ll be off now,” she told him coldly.


    Derrick nodded.


    Tiffany spun on her heels and went straight to Amelia without sparing Derrick another nce.


    “Babe, let''s go home. I''m a little sleepy,” she said in a soft voice.


    Amelia gave Derrick onest look before leaving with Tiffany and Kurt. meanwhile, Derrick remained


    rooted to his spot as he gazed at Tiffany''s retreating back adoringly. His eyes shone with a sh of


    determined glint.
