Chapter 259 Do You Know that You Have A Silver Tongue for Sweet Words


    Derrick''s father couldn''t absorb the ongoing chaos any longer and fainted, causing everyone in the


    church to panic even more.


    After Derrick had sent Yvette to the hospital, he received the news that the Luo Group''s stock price was


    going down as thepany''s reputation was plummeting due to his scandal. Thepany had lost a


    great deal of money, and so the board of directors had approved the decision of relieving Derrick of his


    position as the CEO.


    Yvette''s surgery was over and her bed was taken out of the operation room. The doctor told Derrick


    with a grave look on his face, "The baby did not make it. Please see to it that she gets proper rest when


    she goes back home. You''ll still be able to try and have a child again."


    Yvette was then sent to her ward.


    Before Derrick could say something tofort Yvette, he received a call from thepany staff, telling


    him that thepany''s condition was getting worse. Derrick was now in aplete shock.


    What was happening to him? Why was everything around him falling apart?


    Nothing in his life was going right. That included his career and his love life.


    He had to step back and analyse the whole picture again. He had to figure out the reason why and how


    he had made his life such a mess.


    Derrick suddenly thought of Arvin when he walked out of the hospital.


    A series of questions came rushing into his mind. How did Yvette show up in the church? How did she


    know that he was getting married then?


    The reporters also showed up soon after Yvette. It had to be more than just mere coincidence and


    good timing for them to have witnessed Yvette''s idental miscarriage.


    Someone hiding behind the scenes must have paid Yvette and the reporters to put on this show.


    He wondered why anyone would do such a thing. Did he do all of that just to stop him from marrying


    Nita?


    After his analysis, Derrick was certain that only one man had the power to do all those things easily.


    Initially, Derrick was furious as he had begun to understand the situation, but this time, heposed


    himself first and called Nita. On the phone he said, "Nita, mypany''s board demands that I resign


    from my position as the CEO. I might lose my ie from now on, and moreover, I might be in debt...


    But I still want you to marry me. Would you like to work together with me to strive for our happiness in


    the future?"


    As expected, the woman on the other side of the line fell silent. Derrick''s heart sank deeper with each


    minute of her silence.


    In the end, Nita told him, "Derrick, I am a wanted criminal now. Do you still want to marry me?" Nita


    decided to tell him everything now as Derrick would eventually find out about it sooner orter.


    "Why are you a wanted criminal?" ''Did Arvin frame her for Rosa''s imprisonment?'' thought Derrick.


    However, he started to feel suspicious of Nita now.


    "I told you that there was a misunderstanding about what had happened to Rosa. It was Arvin and


    Ang who had framed me."


    ''Misunderstanding? Framed you?'' At that moment, Derrick ignored her exnation when he suddenly


    came to realise, "It''s you who had kept Rosa Yin captive for seven years, isn''t it? And regarding all of


    Ang''s affairs, it was you who had stirred up all the trouble first, right? Arvin loves Ang, so you did


    all those things to hurt her, right?"


    Nita''s heart trembled. How did hee to realise all that, all of a sudden? No. No. She eximed,


    "You know nothing about me! Do you know how much I love Arvin? Derrick Luo, you would never


    understand my love for Arvin! Don''t you get that? I have loved Arvin for many years. I acquired medical


    skills that I had no interest in at all, for Arvin''s sake. But why did he fall in love with someone else?"


    ... Derrick covered his face in anguish. He finally realised how foolish he had been from the start and


    up until the end.


    Because of this Nita, he had broken his friendship with his best friend; because of this woman, he had


    always misunderstood Ang; because of this woman, he was putting hispany in danger of


    bankruptcy.


    He burst into bitterughter at his ignorance.


    He didn''t want to hear Nita''s exnations anymore, so he hung up at once. Then, he dialed another


    number. The call was soon connected and he heard a familiar man''s voice. "Hello, " said Arvin.


    "It''s you who arranged for Yvette and the reporters to crash my wedding ceremony today." Derrick said


    in an affirmed voice.


    Arvin bluntly admitted, "Yes."


    Derrick closed his eyes, and said, "Arvin..." He paused for a while, and then asked in a hoarse voice,


    "Can we go back to the past and try to restore our friendship?"


    A moment''s silence. Arvin''s final n to save Derrick had seeded. He was pleased that Derrick


    didn''t let him down in the end, and he said, "Please devote yourself to yourpany first."


    "But, Yvette... She''s still in hospital. I want to wait until she..."


    "She wasn''t pregnant." Arvin cut in to stop Derrick''s guilty confession.


    Derrick closed his eyes in relief and said, "Thank you, Arvin."


    In the R and D Department''sb


    Ang had changed into an asepsis doctor''s gown, and after greeting Malik Jia, she entered Arvin''s


    exclusiveb, where entry without prior permission was not allowed.


    Inside theb, Arvin was attentively working on a test all by himself.


    Ang tiptoed quietly to approach Arvin as she wanted to make him startled, but she soon realised he


    was very focused on it so she decided not to go on with it.


    But before she could utter anything, Arvin suddenly said, "Bring me the bottle of Chloramine over


    there."


    ''What?'' Perplexed, Ang looked around, but she didn''t see anyone else.


    "Don''t look around. I was talking to you." Arvin said without turning around, as if he had an eye at the


    back of his head watching Ang''s every movement.


    Ang obediently brought him the bottle of chloramine and handed it to him and asked, "Hey, how did


    you know I am here?"


    Ang thought that she hadn''t made any sound when she entered theb.


    Arvin turned around. Due to the mask covering most of his face, Ang was only able to see his


    smiling eyes. He said, "Because our hearts are linked together."


    Apart from him, only Ang and Hogan Gu were permitted to enter thisb


    Hogan was on a business trip in A Country now, so Arvin knew well that it must have been Ang


    there.


    And when Ang pushed the door open, he heard the sound she made, and that''s how he knew who


    was there without even turning his head.


    Ang blushed; but luckily for her, she was wearing a mask that helped her hide her shyness. She


    said, "Mr. Gu, do you know that you have a silver tongue for sweet words?"


    Arvin carefully poured the chemical liquid into the test tube. When he had filled the tube with the


    urate amount, he answered her, "I am not sure if I was saying something sweet, but... I am sure you


    are the one who knows best whether my tongue is any good or not!"


    Ang felt like her brain was going to explode. ''What a shameless man!'' Ang''s face flushed bright


    red. She pouted her lips, looked at Arvin and said, "Can''t you have an ordinary conversation with me?


    You shameless man."


    Arvin always enjoyed ying on words to flirt with her.


    "No, I can''t even have a conversation with you whenever we are together, because there are so much


    more I want to do. Like this..." said Arvin. He pulled Ang into his arms. Like what they did under the


    seast time, Arvin kissed her through the mask.


    "No, there is a security camera!" Ang assumed there was a security camera in thisb too, as she


    knew there was one in theb in the Shengfeng Mansion.


    Arvin tittered, "Do you want to try something more exciting here? What do you think?"


    "No, no. I shouldn''t interrupt your work. Please carry on with your research!" Ang felt guilty for


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    distracting Arvin from his work bying into theb.


    "Okay, you can stay here and assist me then" said Arvin. He stopped flirting with her as he indeed had


    an important test to work on.


    Arvin gathered his focus and continued working on his research.


    It was a known saying that, a man who concentrated himself on his work always looked the most


    handsome.


    Ang passed each item to Arvin, as per his instructions. It was very quiet in theb. Ang couldn''t


    help but look at Arvin''s handsome face, with her eyes glimmering with affection.
