Carter ruffled his hair in frustration, feeling irritated. Suddenly, the ringtone of the phone on the dining
table brought him back to his senses.

Walking over, he picked it up and saw that it was from Derrick. In an instant, his expression turned
grim.
He answered the call, and Derrick’snguorous voice came from the other end. “Do you like the gift I
arranged for you yesterday? It’s a long night, so I asked a beauty to apany you. Did your
rtionship hit a new milestone?”
After Carter heard that, his expression became gloomier. He could not help but yell at the phone,
“Derrick Hisson, what are you trying to do? Does the heir of Hisson Group have that much free time
that he wants to interfere in other people’s rtionship?”
On the contrary, Derrick was calm and collected. “You’re angry? Could it be that something has
happened between the two of you?”
He immediately guessed what had happened urately.
Blood rushed through Carter’s veins as he shouted, “Stop your weird imaginations and tricks. I don’t
have time to y games with you.” Having said that, he hung up the phone.
Later, he threw the phone to the ground. Infuriated, he scratched his head in exasperation and hurried
upstairs. After entering his bedroom, he mmed the door shut.
When he came out, he was dressed in a suit. His expression was solemn, and he was exuding an
intimidating and unapproachable aura.
Soon, he arrived at thepany. Once he entered the lobby, the receptionist stopped him and pointed
to the sofa on the left of the entrance. “Mr. Scott, Mr. Hisson is waiting for you.”
Carter looked in the direction she pointed and saw that the man was none other than Derrick.
Immediately, he glowered and walked toward his private elevator.
Meanwhile, Derrick also got up from the sofa and followed.
In the elevator, Carter questioned gloomily, “Why are you here?”
“You’ve slept with Jennifer. Shouldn’t I, the elder brother,e to seek justice for her?”
Clenching his fists tightly, Carter gritted his teeth andmented, “Derrick, I didn’t know that you’re
such a nosy person.”
“I don’t have a choice. My mother has given me an order, so I can’t stand by and watch. Most
importantly, I’ve already acknowledged Jennifer as my godsister,” responded Derrick solemnly.
Carter shot him an incredulous look.
Momentster, the elevator arrived on the top floor. After the elevator door opened, Carter and Derrick
walked out side by side. It was the first time the secretaries and assistants on the top floor saw Derrick.
Instantaneously, they were mesmerized and fixated their gazes on him.
“Yana, if there’s nothing important, don’t let anyonee in,” ordered Carter. However, the secretary
who was named was looking at Derrick in a daze. Seeing that, Carter felt his rage build.
“Yana.” He increased his volume.
Immediately, Yana came back to her senses and looked at Carter in a panic, “M-Mr. Scott.”
He gave her a warning look and uttered, “Stop swooning over a man during working hours. If there’s
nothing important, don’t let anyone enter my office.”
“Y-Yes, Mr. Scott.”
Then, Derrick followed Carter into his office and closed the door, blocking the curious gazes of the
people outside.
Sitting on the sofa, Carter red at Derrick and inquired, “What are you up to?”
Thetter shrugged and replied, “I’ve said it before. I want you to be with Jennifer.”
“That’s impossible.”
Derrick crossed his legs and folded his arms. “Give me a reason, then. Is Jennifer not good enough?”
“No, she’s really good. She’s undeniably the best woman among the socialites.”
“If that’s the case, why won’t you ept her?”
“She’s good, but I already have someone else in my heart. No matter how beautiful she is, it means
nothing to me.”
Derrick’s lips curled into a mocking sneer.
“I see you’re pretty good at finding excuses. So you can chuck a woman aside after sleeping with her?”
he said sarcastically.
Taken aback, Carter moved his hand and asked unnaturally, “Did she tell you?”
“Who else?”
“It seems that your rtionship with Jennifer is better than I thought,”mented Carter.
“Our ideology is pretty simr. Although I haven’t known her for a long time, I sincerely think of her as a
younger sister.”
“Really? I hope you aren’t doing any unscrupulous things with her behind the curtains. After all, this is
nothing new in the upper-ss circle. I didn’t know you were interested in such a rtionship. I guess
we really can’t judge a book by its cover,” uttered Carter acrimoniously.
If it weren’t for Derrick, nothing would’ve happened that night, and my rtionship with Jennifer
wouldn’t turn out like this. Now that I’ve slept with her, I won’t be able to righteously dere that I’ve
nothing to do with her in the future.
Instead of getting annoyed, Derrick smiled and stated, “It seems that you’re quite experienced.
Otherwise, you won’t know the twists and turns of the upper-ss circle. No wonder you can say
you’ve nothing to do with Jennifer at first and proceed to spend the night with her in the next second. I
think if Amelia heard of it, she would only think of it as a joke.”
The next moment, Carter rushed over and asked anxiously, “Do you know Amelia’s whereabouts?”
Feigning ignorance, Derrick responded, “What did you say?”
Carter’s gaze was vicious like a wounded wolf cub. “Derrick, don’t y dumb. You must know Amelia’s
whereabouts. I should’ve asked you in the first ce. Hurry up and tell me. Or else, don’t me me for
showing no mercy.”
Derrick pushed him away and held him against the wall. “Carter, you should mind your own business.
Don’t forget that you’ve already slept with Jennifer. Today, I’m here to remind you that. As for Amelia,
she isn’t one you should get involved with.”
Straightening his suit, he continued, “I really think of Jennifer as my younger sister. She has the same
interests as me, and we can talk about many things. Don’t let her down and waste the opportunity that
I’ve created for you.”
When he reached the door, Carter said behind him, “Derrick, what do you want? Tell me clearly. Also,
where is Amelia?”
Whipping around, Derrick answered, “Carter, I only want you and Jennifer to be together. It’s best for
you, Jennifer, and the Larsons.”
“Derrick, you’re mad.”
A smile crept on Derrick’s face when he piped up, “You’re overthinking. My purpose has always been
simple. It’s just that you’ve thought of it tooplicatedly.”
ring at him, Carter gritted his teeth and roared, “Get out!”
Shortly afterward, Derrick left with a smile on his face.
