Sheldon's face suddenly darkened, but he was a little uncertain. He had investigated the president of the Xavier Group.
He knew that Derek had a son, and it was said that in the past five or six years, there was no woman around him and that he had remained a celibate. How could he have anything to do with Nora?
To be sure, Sheldon asked, "Mr. Xavier, who is your woman?"
Derek raised his eyebrow slightly and smiled faintly. "She's a designer of our company. Her name is Nora."
Sheldon's pupils suddenly dilated. He did not expect it to be Nora. His brows immediately furrowed. No wonder Derek would treat his mother like this.
In an instant, he was extremely upset with Nora. She was his girlfriend, but she seduced the president of the Xavier Group. Good for her.
Although he didn't like Nora and wanted to marry her just for benefits, he still thought Nora was his toy.
Only he got to throw this toy away. The woman could only listen to his orders obediently. Now, his toy was trying to run away. Naturally, he was not happy.
Moreover, if Derek got involved, it would be even harder for him to marry Nora.
"Mr. Xavier, I think you might be mistaken. Nora of the Design Department in your company is my fiancée." Although Sheldon was nervous, he still said it.
Derek narrowed his eyes and stared daggers at Sheldon.
Sheldon felt a strong pressure, and his back instantly became wet with sweat.
"Your fiancée? I don't care what relationship you were in before, but after this, everything will soon disappear," he said while sneering.
"What, what do you mean?" Sheldon was shocked.
"If you want to save your mother, stay away from Nora. Otherwise, Hailey will never be released," Derek said bluntly.
Sheldon's expression suddenly changed and his face darkened. He had never expected that Derek would really take a fancy to Nora, and it seemed that Nora meant a lot to him.
Even in an ordinary family, it was difficult for a person to choose between his wife one and his closest relatives, let alone he was in a much more complicated situation.
He had to marry Nora so that he could get benefits from Sean, the patriarch of the Joneses. He had been planning this for many years. How could he give this up?
But now, Derek was using his mother to force him. Sheldon felt it really hard to choose.
Although he wanted the benefits more, Hailey was his mother, and he couldn't let her suffer there.
There seemed to be short of air suddenly. Of course, only he felt that way.
In the end, Sheldon reluctantly agreed to Derek's request.
Of course, he didn't take his choice seriously. His plan was that after getting his mother out, he would ask Nora what was going on between her and Derek.
"Only when Nora's injury is healed will Hailey come out."
Derek said and asked Damian to get Sheldon out.
Although Sheldon was dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything. He could only wait with anger. At the same time, he needed to think about how to marry Nora after Derek was involved.
