Chapter 742 Fiance

Tears welled up in Edmund's eyes, but he quickly raised his head to hold them back. Today was a good
day. He couldn't let the unpleasant things in the past destroy it.

"I had planned to let Sheryl marry Derek, but that kid was so imprudent. It would be a mess if she went
to the Yu family.

Leo is still a boy. But I think it's a good idea for Leo to marry Derek."

"Grandpa, what did you just say?" Leo frowned in disbelief. If he didn't have a hearing problem just
now, was grandpa talking about marriage? Why did he say that?

Incorrect! It didn't seem right!

Edmund cast a cold glance at Leo. He didn't treat Leo kindly, as if he was not his biological grandson.

He snorted and said lightly, "You're not married yet. What's the difference between keeping you and a
girl? If we can't get married by then, it will still be useless!"

"……"

Hester, who had been standing at the side all the time, felt that she was innocent. She was really just
sitting there by chance. As for the rest, she was really fine.

Considerately holding Hester in his arms, Derek raised his eyebrows slightly with a faint disdain and
ridicule. "Grandpa, Hester is a little tired. I'll help her back to her room."

Hearing that his precious granddaughter was tired, Edmund felt sorry for her. "Since Hester is tired, you
should help her go back quickly!"



It took him a long time to find her. She couldn't be tired because of the party, or he would be the one in
pain!

Derek nodded slightly and carefully helped Hester stand up. Then he slowly walked away under the
resentful gaze of Leo.

"Grandpa, I suspect that I am not your biological grandson." Leo glanced at Edmund coldly and said in
a low voice. Since he was a child, although Leo didn't expect Edmund to be gentle to him, he didn't
even show his love, which made him a little depressed.

Edmund didn't want to argue with him anymore. He thought that Leo hadn't made any progress in his
cultivation over the years.

"The paternity test has been done before, but the technical level was limited at that time. Maybe there
was something wrong!

Now that you even begin to suspect yourself, why don't we do it again some other day?"

Leo was really speechless.

Supported by Derek, Hester returned to the bedroom. She threw off her shoes and sat on the bed.
Although today's hair and makeup were specially treated, why was so tired!

"You'll be fine after resting for a while. It's inevitable for you to feel tired for the first time, but you'll
gradually get used to it."

It was rare for Derek to say something considerate. He slowly sat on the sofa and supported his head
with one hand. He was a little tired.

It was inevitable that people would be tired of attending such kind of parties for too many times.



"I'm fine, but you are the one who is more tired!" Hester glanced at Derek and raised her eyebrows.
"But I didn't imagine that you would be like this!"

"What do you mean?" asked Derek in a serious tone. His face was as cold as before.

Hester was choked and took a deep breath. She shouldn't blame him for what he had done for her.

"Mr. Derek, I want to have a rest. Please go out!"

Derek nodded slightly and glanced at Hester, raising his eyebrows slightly. "It doesn't matter! We are
engaged now. You don't have to say that."

"Well, I'm going to change my clothes. Please go out for a while!" Hester smiled dryly, sat straight and
looked at him seriously, clenching her fists nervously.

How could this person be so difficult to deal with? No wonder his cousin said that he was vicious inside!

"Okay!" Derek stood up and rolled up his sleeves with his slender fingers. "Do you need my help?
Although it may be a little unfamiliar, I hope you don't mind it."

What responded to him was a pillow and a loud shutting door.

After taking off her clothes, Hester changed into a more comfortable casual clothes and lay lazily on the
big bed, sleepy.

Suddenly, she thought of something and sat up from the bed with her eyes wide open.

"Oh my God! Did Brother Austin come here today? Did he see us?"

But how could he not see the two standing in such a conspicuous place? 'What if he gets angry?'

Thinking of this possibility, Hester put on her shoes in a hurry and rushed out.



In order to avoid the guests at the banquet, Hester specially chose a quiet path to quickly pass through.
She wanted to leave as soon as possible and go to Austin.

"Ah!"

Hester staggered, screamed and closed her eyes in a hurry, waiting for the sharp pain.

'Huh? What's going on? Why didn't I fall to the ground after so long?'

She opened her eyes slightly and found herself in someone's arms. Hester breathed a sigh of relief and
smiled. "Thank you!"

As she blurted out the words, the hand that shackled her arm tightened, making her a little painful. But
after all, it was him who saved her. She was too embarrassed to say anything, so she had to endure it.

"Sorry, I didn't see the road clearly just now. If there is anything wrong, I apologize to you here. You can
let me go."

"Hester!"

His voice made Hester tremble. A chill rushed to her head.

The voice was so familiar to her. It was her nightmare for the rest of her life.

"Why are you here? ……"

Hester covered her mouth and frowned at the first half of the sentence. She was so stupid. Why did
she ask this question subconsciously?

Qi Group was of great importance in the business world. If he didn't come to the dinner party, it would
be unreasonable!



"Mr. Terence, please let me go! If my fiance sees it, he will be unhappy."

Anyway, ordinary people couldn't deal with the guy with abnormal brain, so she decided to use Derek
as an excuse! Anyway, she had been doing it for the whole night. It shouldn't be a big deal to use him
once in a while!

"Fiance?"

Terence said in a dangerous tone, emitting a gloomy aura, which was so cold that it could directly
freeze people to death.

"Hester, I really underestimated you. You have already had a fiance."
