Chapter 575 Substitute

It was not appropriate for Hiram to name Derrick, so he replaced Derrick's name with "someone".

Charles slowly lit a cigarette, leaned against the seat and took a drag, lost in thought.

Hiram still stood there and did not leave immediately.

After a while, Charles said slowly, "Hiram, do you know why I haven't taken action against Derrick yet?
Do you know why I wanted to take action against Derrick before? "

"I don't know. I don't know what Mr. Charles has experienced these days. You are afraid of Derrick all of
a sudden." Hiram said cautiously after thinking for a while.

"Because... My grandfather. If I send Derrick in now, do you think my grandfather will die and Joseph
will hate me? " This was Charles' concern.

"But as far as I observe, Joseph also hates Derrick."

Because Joseph couldn't let go of the fact that Derrick and Anna had an affair.

Therefore, it was reasonable for Joseph to hate Derrick.

"You're wrong. No matter how much Joseph hates Derrick, he won't hate Derrick to death. If I do
something to Derrick, Frederic will be angry, and so will Joseph. You can guess whether Fu family will
be broken into pieces because of this. In the past, I really didn't expect that it would affect the whole
family if I took action against Derrick. For Fu family, this is a decision that will hurt the bones and
muscles of our family. I won't act rashly." Said Charles, taking a drag on his cigarette.

"Well, Mr. Charles, what about now? Let Nancy find a doctor to treat Nana's disease? Should we let her
or stop her? " Hiram asked.



For a long time, Charles didn't say anything. If he stopped Nancy, what would happen if she knew
about it?

Nancy was also an arrogant woman. Would she break up with him because of this?

If that was the case, then the price Charles had to pay was too high.

"Let's wait and see. Nana's condition won't recover in a short time. Give me some time. We can always
come up with a good solution, right?" After saying that, Charles sighed slightly.

"Have you found out anything about the club?" Hiram asked again.

As for the club, Hiram had investigated Derrick. Derrick had made a lot of dirty deals in the club. If this
matter was exposed, Derrick would be completely destroyed.

But when Hiram was about to find out the evidence, he was stopped by Charles. Charles said that he
would investigate it in person. As for the result, Hiram had almost guessed it.

He now understood that this matter was difficult for Charles to deal with. However, although Charles
was a businessman, he respected the law. He had the bottom line of being a man and doing things.

He would never let Derrick do whatever he wanted and let Derrick ruin the society.

But it was not the right time.

Charles just needed some more time. When Frederic died, Charles would find an excuse to let Derrick
die to apologize.

"Well, the investigation is almost done. Forget it. Let's stop talking about it. You can go ahead with your
work. I want to have a rest." Charles took a deep drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out.

"Yes." Hiram replied and went out.



Charles pinched between his eyebrows and thought about it worriedly. It was impossible to hurt Nancy,
and it was impossible to send Derrick in jail at this time.

Yes, he had almost finished his investigation. What Derrick had done was enough to kill himself ten
times.

But Derrick couldn't die now.

Charles could only observe the movement of Nancy for the time being.

As soon as Charles thought of this, he received a call from Nancy.

After hesitating for a while, he couldn't figure out the purpose of Nancy's sudden call. He carefully
answered the phone and pretended to be relaxed. "What's up, Nancy?"

"I have an operation tonight. You pick up the kids earlier and let them have a good meal. Tell them that
I'll be back a little late."

"You have an operation?" Charles asked in disbelief.

"Yes. What's wrong? Isn't it normal for me to have an operation. How could you not believe me? " Said
Nancy unhappily.

Charles chuckled, "No, how can I not believe you? I just don't want you to be tired. After the operation,
go home quickly. The children and I both need you."

"Sentimental, I'm hanging up." Nancy complained as she ended the call.

She leaned against the window, playing with her phone, but her eyes were far away.

She lied to Charles just now. She didn't have an operation and she could go to pick up the children
early. But she had an appointment with Rick, and she couldn't let Charles know about it.



Taking off her work clothes, she went to the bathroom, washed her face and made up. Then she
grabbed her bag and walked into the elevator.

"Director Nancy is getting more and more beautiful."

"Women in love are the most beautiful. Why don't you have a try in love?"

"It depends on fate to have a romantic relationship. How can I just have a try?"

The nurses looked at Nancy and whispered.

Ignoring them, Nancy walked into the elevator and came to the parking lot.

She drove the car out of the hospital and didn't see that Charles was driving behind her.

Charles had just called Hobart and asked him about the operation arrangement of Nancy. Hobart didn't
dare to hide anything from Charles. He personally checked the operation arrangement of Nancy and
then reported it to Charles.

Charles found that Nancy didn't have an operation this afternoon. Then why did she lie to him?

Charles told Hobart not to tell Nancy about the matter that he had called to ask about Nancy's
arrangement. And then he left the office and drove to the hospital.

As expected, in a short while, Nancy went downstairs from surgery department.

She looked serious and seemed to have something on her mind.

Charles followed her.

Nancy drove straight to the western restaurant that she had made an appointment with Rick.



Rick had arrived early. He was still so handsome in a straight black suit, sitting by the window.

But when Rick saw Nancy come in, he stood up and greeted her politely, "I have heard about Director
Nancy for a long time. Today I see you, and you really deserve your reputation."

Although Nancy was used to other people's compliments, she still blushed with modesty in the face of
Rick whom she worshiped.

"You're welcome, Mr. Rick. I should have told you what you just said."

"Well, you're welcome. We came from the same school. It seems that Director Nancy should call me
senior." Rick smiled. He didn't sit down in his own seat until Nancy sat down.

Rick's tone sounded that he was familiar to her, which made Nancy feel a little flattered.

"Rick, it sounds like you have some impression of me?" Asked Nancy tentatively.

Rick looked at Nancy and smiled.

He smiled gently, with a sense of ambiguity.

This made Nancy even more at a loss.

She didn't know why Rick would smile like that.
