Ice and Fire novel Chapter 305

Without noticing Cherry's expression, Derek continued, "Actually, Mond considers Jackson as the investor of the JS Group too. That's why he plans to defeat the JS Group."

"But if something indeed happened to the JS Group, Selina and you would..." Cherry didn't continue. She knew Derek understood Mond was against Jackson. If Derek and Selina became entangled in this, she would feel guilty.

Derek shook his head and said, "It's no problem. Don't worry about that! You know the family relationship between the Chu family and the Lu family. Jackson and I are very close. It's no big deal for us! Even If something happens, it is nothing but a monetary loss. We can afford it and as for me..." Derek paused for a moment and went on to say, "I believe in Selina's ability. For the past five years, she has gone from an inexperienced young lady to a powerful elite. I believe she could cope with everything. So we don't need to be worried."

After hearing Derek out, Cherry nodded. She thought Selina was perfectly capable. Unlike other bosses who worked as though under a great deal of pressure, Selina was always at ease and remained composure. It turned out she merely thought the company was invested by Jackson and she was working for him. So, she didn't bear too much pressure!

Derek took a deep breath, smiled and comforted Cherry, "Cherry, you really needn't worry about much. If there something happens Jackson and I will take care of it. You and Selina only need to live each day happy. Actually, Jackson loves you; you are the most important person in his eyes. Selina means as much to me. She is pure and innocent and I never want to see her depressed."

"I got it, " Cherry nodded as she answered. She realized Derek was quite talented. She hadn't had much time to talk with him before, and now that she had, she knew he was as intelligent as Jackson.

"Well, Cherry, can I count on you to keep not tell Selina and keep this under wraps? At present, only the three of us know. I don't want Selina to find out." Derek confided.

"Okay, I won't tell her." said Cherry, with a smile on her face, "I am happy Selina can rely on you and Jackson."

"Cherry, we are happy seeing you and Selina getting along so well." said Derek, smiling. He was in a good mood after talking about a relaxing topic.

"That's because destiny ties us together." laughed Cherry. She was very relaxed and cheerful now.

Jackson walked over at that moment. Seeing Derek and Cherry chatting happily, made him smile as well. This woman's smile lit up his heart.

"What are you talking about?" asked Jackson casually, as he got closer to Derek and Cherry.

Jackson sat beside Cherry and casually put his arm on her shoulder.

Derek smiled and said, "Something happy."

Cherry quietly lowered her head.

Seeing Jackson and Cherry sitting together intimately, Derek felt him like a third wheel. He hastily excused himself, "Cherry, since Jackson is here, I am going to leave. You two have a good chat."

Cherry raised her head, looked at Derek smiling, "Okay."

After watching Derek leave, Jackson tried thinking of how Derek made her happy. She had been so angry, but here she was, smiling. What did he say to her?

"Have you met with everyone you need to talk to?" asked Cherry.

Jackson looked into Cherry's eyes, "Yes, I am almost done."
