"Really?"
Terence looked at Hester coldly, as if he was going to freeze her. The scars on his face were like carved patterns, adding a bit of sharpness to him.
He didn't know why she was so determined, but he clearly heard that something seemed to be broken and fell to the ground.
Sometimes, he lost consciousness because of the pain. He thought that his current situation perfectly explained it!
"Hester, I never knew that you would be so cruel!"
Hester's body staggered in an almost invisible way, and her fingernails pierced into the palm of her hand. The pain stimulated her to maintain her manner at all times. They had broken up three years ago. Of course they shouldn't know each other.
'It's not easy for you to get rid of those days. Are you going to be involved again?' she thought in her heart.
"Mr. Terence, my cousin hit you that day. I apologize for him. Please let it go! Of course, if you have to make a fuss about it, it's okay! After all, you are the trigger of this matter. I hope you can think it over before making a plan!"
Hester was not afraid of being sued by him, but she was afraid that he would play tricks behind her back. Although the Liu family was rich and powerful, Leo's intelligence was really worrying. She couldn't imagine what would happen.
If he played tricks, how could Leo win? Therefore, in order to avoid these unnecessary troubles, she had to inform him in advance.
"Huh!" With a sneer, Terence stared at Hester coldly. How could he not understand what she meant? He knew she was just afraid that he would have a fight with Leo.
"What? Are you afraid that I will get even with your fiance, so you come here to make it clear in advance?"
The word "fiance" shocked Hester. She raised her hand to touch her hair and sighed silently. She almost forgot the existence of Derek.
"Ahem! Well, since you mentioned it, I'll also apologize for him. Let's go through this chapter. Don't make a fuss about it, okay?"
'Derek! You owe me a big favor!' she roared in her heart.
Derek suddenly sneezed, which made the meeting room instantly quiet. With a document in his hand, an employee, who was speaking, stood still and looked at his boss in fear.
Derek lowered his eyes and rubbed his nose with his slender fingers. A hint of helplessness flashed through his eyes. If there was anyone else in the world who dared to talk about him behind his back, it must be nobody but Leo!
His cold eyes swept over the crowd one by one, and his eyebrows raised unhappily. "Go on!"
The simple two words were thrown loudly, and the meeting room returned to normal, mixed with a trace of strangeness.
In the hospital, Hester and Terence were acting with each other. They were not willing to give in at all.
"Mr. Terence, you are a patient now. You'd better have a good rest. I won't disturb you. Goodbye!"
Hester afraid that if she stayed with him for a long time, she would give herself away, so she made up an excuse and wanted to escape.
The cold fingertips twined around her wrist, as strong as the impression of its owner.
Hester sighed helplessly. She looked at the hand on her wrist and then at its owner. Her eyebrows raised, mixed with a hint of hidden anger.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Terence?"
Hearing her gritting her teeth, Terence laughed in anger. He thought he had been used to such a sharp look. However, when he faced it again, he found that there seemed to be nothing he could get used to!
