Chapter 2270
Derrien picked up his cup of coffee. “You cheated on your wife and abused her, not to
mention that your wife suffers from severe depression. If you really want to appeal to the
court for divorce, I’m afraid your losses will be even greater.”
Ronald choked on his own words and clenched his fists. “Since you’re that b*tch’s legal
representative, why are you helping me?”
Derrien took a sip of coffee. “Actually, Ms. Blueman asked me to help you.”
Ronald frowned. “What’s your relationship with Jessie?”
“Don’t get me wrong.” Derrien smiled. “I have nothing to do with Ms. Blueman, but since
Ms. Blueman is willing to help you by opening some of her connections in the city, it’ll surely
cut down a lot of workload on my side too.”
Ronald had always been a man with a clear mind, so he quickly understood what Derrien
meant, and his expression turned a lot less stiff. “If that’s the case, you just said that if I
were to bring this matter to court, my losses would be even larger. So what should I do to
recover these losses?”
‘There’s no way that I’m giving evering up. No way!‘
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDerrien looked at him. “If you bring this matter to the court, you’ll have no room for
recovery unless you can get Mrs. George to dismiss the case she has built on you.”
Ronald sank deep in thought.
‘I originally thought that that crazy b*tch wouldn’t dare to file for divorce and bring the
matter to court. I was expecting that she’d compromise and would at most ask for the
custody of our son and then give up on everything else.
‘No matter what, turning to a lawyer and filing for divorce in secret is something that I
didn’t account for, let alone demanding that I give up everything.‘
His expression dimmed.
Derrien looked at his expression and gave off a faint smile. “Mr. George, I might have a way
to persuade Mrs. George into compromising.”
Ronald asked, “What should I do?”
“She cares about her son the most. So if you can start with your son, Mrs. George will
definitely compromise.”
As soon as Derrien gave Ronald the suggestion, Ronald’s body stiffened. “But… That’s my
son too.”
Derrien smiled. “I’m not planning to convince you to hurt your son. You only need to put on
a show for Mrs. George.”
Ronald was lost in thought.
Derrien left the cafe, took his phone out, and contacted Colton. “Mr. Goldmann, I’ve already
done everything accordingly. In order to prevent Mrs. George from filing for divorce, Mr.
George will definitely buy my suggestion.”
Coleman responded, “Nice. Before Ronald makes a move, you should fetch Ronald’s son
away first, then notify Gina about it.”
He ended the call and tapped his fingertips against the surface of the desk.
‘Things are about to get dramatic.‘
At night, at Emperon…
Cameron came to Deedee’s room quietly after taking a shower. She pushed open the door,
probed half of her head into the room, and saw that Deedee was still wide awake.
“Deedee.” Deedee sat up. “Aunt Cameron?”
She walked into the room with a smile and climbed onto the bed. “Deedee, can I sleep with
you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDeedee did not refuse and handed her the other half of her blanket.
Cameron lay down immediately and laughed. “Deedee is the best.”
Deedee also lay down and asked casually, “Aunt Cameron, are you afraid of sleeping
alone?” She smiled awkwardly. “Yeah, you’re right.”
In fact, it was not that she did not dare to sleep alone. It was that she was afraid that a
certain man would climb onto her bed again once she fell asleep.
‘If things go on like this, my reputation will be at stake!‘
Deedee suddenly handed her the teddy bear in her arms. “Aunt Cameron, you should hold
this. You won’t be afraid anymore.”
Seeing Deedee’s warm kindness, Cameron took it happily and hugged her. “Thank you,
Deedee.”
Deedee fell asleep almost instantly, perhaps because Cameron was there, so she felt extra
peaceful.
And Cameron got assaulted by drowsiness and fell asleep rather quickly too.
Later that night, in her sleep, she vaguely felt that her body was a little heavy, and she
could not move. She opened her eyes in a daze, and under the dim light shining into the
room through the window, she saw that Deedee was sleeping right next to her, with her
back facing her.
