Chapter 830 What Can I Do
“Derrick, you divorced Tiffany because of that woman? You’re behaving like a teenager now,” Jennifer sneered while looking at Derrick. Upon hearing that, Derrick responded with a wry smile.
After taking a bite of the food, Jennifer continued, “Derrick, tell me the truth. Are you sure you’re willing to part ways with Tiffany? What if someone who loves and cares for her appears in her life? What if Tiffany carries his baby? What if they live happily ever after, yet you’re stuck with a woman you don’t love? Wouldn’t you be jealous?”
Derrick clenched his fists so tightly that his veins started popping up. Any discussion about Tiffany would cause him to lose his mind. He could no longer think clearly. Like a beast trapped in a cage, Derrick answered, “She doesn’t even want to see me. What else can I do?”
A corner of Jennifer’s lips quirked up. I knew it. He might be a smart guy, but when it comes to Tiffany, he’ll lose his train of thought and analytical ability.
“You’re an intelligent man and a successful businessman. Even when you crossed over into the filming industry, you performed your duties as a producer well. But somehow, you don’t seem to understand women. I wouldn’t believe anyone who tries to convince me that Tiffany has no feelings for you. She’s just concerned about Crystal’s baby.” Jennifer paused for a bit before giving the man a ruthless glare. “I don’t think you look forward to the baby’s arrival either. Why not just get rid of it? Get it done right now before it’s too late. You don’t seem like the kind of man who would show women mercy, anyway.”
That idea did cross Derrick’s mind, but when Tiffany insisted on getting a divorce, he had utterly lost his composed self. He was so busy feeling sorry for himself that he did not have time to think of Crystal and the baby.
“So, what’s your plan? Keep the baby? Derrick, I’ll tell you what I have in mind right now. Once Crystal gives birth to the child, Tiffany and you are over. I could tell Tiffany is not a forgiving person, so you better weigh your options,” Jennifer advised.
A subtle glint flashed across the man’s eyes. He was overwhelmed by mixed emotions.
Jennifer shrugged and said, “Of course, I totally understand you’re the father of Crystal’s baby, and you might not have the heart to get rid of it. But it also means you cherish an unborn child more than Tiffany.”
Derrick’s face turned grim instantly.
“I know what to do now,” he said in a deep voice. He never thought of keeping Crystal’s baby in the first place. I only want Tiffany to carry my baby. If she’s not the mother to my child, I’d rather not become a father.
Derrick liked children, but they were not as important as Tiffany.
Jennifer nodded. She decided not to ask further.
Derrick looked at her and said, “Jennifer, are you able to talk to Tiffany? Look after her for me. Once I settle the woman and the baby, I’ll look for her.”
“All right.” Jennifer thought for a while and continued, “You know what, Derrick? I can help you. I can’t get women pregnant, but I know ways to induce a miscarriage. If you’re not convenient doing it, I can do it for you.”
Derrick sized the woman up and started regaining his senses. He felt something amiss about Jennifer as he did not understand why she was so eager to lend him a hand.
“Why do you want to help me, Jennifer? To me, you don’t look like a helpful person,” Derrick questioned her motive.
“You have your motive, and I have mine. Amelia would thank me for helping you reunite with Tiffany, and I’ll be able to get in Oscar’s good books. I used to go against him in the past because I was too stupid, but I’ve learned that Larson Group would stand a better chance in expanding our business as long as he has our back.” Jennifer said matter-of-factly. “So me helping you is a win-win situation. That said, it’s all right if you still don’t trust me. We don’t have to work together, anyway.”
Derrick retracted his scrutinizing gaze and said, “Okay. I trust you.”
Jennifer smirked and said, “Well, if that’s the case, I’ll get rid of Crystal’s baby for you then.”
“That won’t be necessary. I can do it myself. I’m a man, and I don’t need to depend on a woman.”
Jennifer merely shrugged. Whatever he says.
After dinner, the two walked out of the restaurant and went their separate ways. Jennifer then got into the car and called June.
“Do me a favor, June,” said Jennifer. She proceeded to tell June to get rid of Crystal’s baby.
June was confused. “Crystal Halliwell? What the heck? I don’t even know her. Why should I do that to her baby? You think I have nothing better to do, huh?”
