The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 575

Thinking it was inappropriate, Hiram didn't directly say Derrick's name.

Lost in his thoughts, Charles slowly lit a cigarette and took a drag.

Even so, Hiram remained standing in front of him, waiting for his order.

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

His question made Hiram think for a while. "I don't know. I don't know what has been happening recently that you suddenly became afraid of Derrick."

"Because of my grandfather. If I send Derrick to jail now, don’t you think my grandfather will die and Joseph will hate me?" This was Charles' main concern.

"But based on my observation, Joseph also hates Derrick."

Until now, Joseph still couldn't let go of the fact that his father had an affair with Anna.

Therefore, it was reasonable for Joseph to hate Derrick.

"You're wrong. No matter how angry Joseph is, he won't hate Derrick to death. If I do something to Derrick, Frederic will be angry, and so will Joseph. You can say that it could tear our family apart. I haven't really thought about the consequences if I took action against Derrick before. But now, I've realized that I can't act rashly because the whole family will be affected." "Well, what are we going to do with Mrs. Fu's plan to treat Nana? Should we let her or stop her?" Hiram asked.

For a moment, Charles was speechless. What would happen if Nancy knew that he was trying to stop her?

As far as he knew, Nancy was a proud woman. Would she break up with him because of this?

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

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

They both fell silent for a while, until Hiram asked, "Have you found out anything about the club?"

Regarding this issue, Hiram had investigated Derrick and found out that he had made a lot of dirty deals in the club. If this matter was exposed, Derrick would be completely destroyed.

However, Charles stopped him from gathering evidence, saying that he would investigate it himself. It was not hard for Hiram to guess what the result was, and he understood that this matter was difficult for Charles to deal with.

But then again, Charles respected the law.

As a decisive person and a man of dignity, he would not let Derrick do whatever he wanted and ruin the society.

This was just not the right time yet.

Charles just needed some more time. When Frederic died, Charles would find an excuse to take Derrick's life as punishment.

"Well, the investigation is almost done. Forget it. You can go back to work now. I want to take a rest." After taking one last drag, Charles stubbed his cigarette out.

"Alright, sir." Then Hiram walked out of the office.

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

It was true that he was almost done with the investigation, and what Derrick had done was enough to get himself killed for ten times.

But Derrick couldn't die now.

For the meantime, Charles could only observe Nancy's movement.

As if on cue, he suddenly received a call from Nancy.

There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes when he answered the call, but he tried sound normal. "What's up, Nancy?"

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

"You have an operation?" His eyebrows rose in disbelief.
