Sweet Twins novel Chapter 489

Frederic knew exactly what kind of person Charles was.

There were very few people who could intervene with Charles' decision.

Therefore, changing it would be next to impossible.

It was true that Derrick deserved it. He absolutely had it coming. Not long ago, Derrick framed Hiram and seized the opportunity to drag Charles into the mud.

It was a covert and malicious matter. Therefore, it was perfectly understandable that Charles hated Derrick.

Nevertheless, Charles was fine now. Whatever happened between them should just be a thing of the past. Frederic earnestly hoped that the feud between them would come to an end. Otherwise, the outsiders would only see it as a joke. Ultimately, it would just give their enemies the perfect opportunity to meddle with and grab the TS Group's market share.

After all, family strife was considered unacceptable in the business world!

Charles remained silent. He merely stood there with a frown upon his face. Frederic knew that he was still quite uncertain.

Frederic proceeded to walk towards Nancy.

As a mere spectator, Nancy approached the fruit section of the buffet. She had just finished socializing with her friends. She took a plate and a few pieces of her favorite fruit. Afterward, she sat on the sofa in the lounge area and began to eat leisurely.

This matter had nothing to do with her. She'd better stay away from the people involved.

At that moment, she noticed Frederic walking towards her.

Nancy hurriedly put her plate down plate. She stood politely and smiled at him. "Mr. Fu, how are you?"

"Just call me Grandpa, Nancy. It's doesn't feel right for you to be so formal with me," Frederic sighed as he gently smiled at Nancy.

"Okay, Grandpa." Nancy smiled back. At times, Nancy felt anxious around Frederic. Nevertheless, she rarely denied his requests.

This showed how much she valued and respected Frederic.

"Well, Nancy, I know I've always been biased against you. I hope you can forgive me. I have my own difficulties. Don't you think so?" Frederic's voice was soft and pleading. He regretted rooting against her before.

"Yes, Grandpa. Don't worry. I understand." Nancy had such a gentle smile on her face. She was the perfect woman for Charles.

With that, Frederic nodded and began to talk to Nancy in an informal and comfortable manner.

"I think you have already known what happened today, Nancy. Charles is extremely stubborn. In the past, he always listened to me. But now, he doesn't listen to me that much. Do you understand what I mean?" At once, Nancy knew what Frederic was implying.

"I do. Grandpa wants me to persuade Charles. Is that right?"

"Yes, yes. I know you are a clever child. I know you'll understand even if I don't say it directly," he replied with a smile. Frederic seldom praised others throughout his whole life. Needless to say, he had never commended Nancy before.

Naturally, Nancy was surprised that Frederic didn't cause any trouble for her today. Furthermore, he even praised her indirectly.

It certainly confirmed that Frederic was really worried now.

With a faint smile, Nancy gracefully stepped towards Frederic. "Grandpa, I can try to persuade Charles. But I can't guarantee I will succeed," she whispered.

"I believe Charles will listen to you." Frederic seemed certain about this.

"Well, then I'll give it a shot," replied Nancy as she nodded slightly. Afterward, Nancy excused herself, turned around, and walked towards Charles.

"Charles, Frederic has just implored me to persuade you. I think we have to hold off our next plan," Nancy told Charles. When Jay heard it, a taunting smile appeared upon his face.

He thought that Nancy was truly the bane of Charles' life. Ever since Charles met her, he had been willing to be a stay-at-home husband. It was safe to say that that Nancy's charm had turned him into a soft man.

"So this is the true power of love!" Hiram teased when he heard them talking.

Whenever Charles looked at Nancy, he always thought she was as beautiful as a painting.

With a doting smile, he asked, "Well, what else do you want to tell me?"

The tone of Charles' voice was totally different from earlier. He was speaking very softly now compared to his ruthless speech a while ago. He seemed like a different man whenever he talked to Nancy.

When they heard this, Jay and Hiram took a deep breath and cooed, "Ah, you are so sweet!" Then, they chuckled among themselves.

Nonetheless, Charles didn't care at all. He still looked at Nancy affectionately. It seemed that at this moment, he saw nobody else except Nancy.

"Just a while ago, Grandpa came to me and told me that we are a family. Don't make a big deal out of it. It will only make everyone unhappy. Charles, let's call it a day. Grandpa is too old to bear any more distress. Let everyone else go. We'll talk about the rest bit by bit," Nancy told him softly. Her voice was calming and like music to everyone's ears.

"If that's what you want, then okay. I will listen to you," Charles responded with a smile.

The guests sighed simultaneously. Was he still the famous and influential Charles in the business world?

Yes, he was. It was just different when he was talking with his love. She was his Achilles' heel.

Charles remained the tough and fierce man in front of everyone. On the other hand, he was a warm and affectionate man in front of Nancy.

He stood up and gestured to their guests. "Everyone, you may leave. Thank you for watching a good show today." Charles sported a rather unsettling smile.

Now, everything was clear. This was all set up by Charles. Poor Derrick, he suffered because of his own shrewdness.

On the other hand, Derrick wouldn't have been caught by Charles if he didn't do these awful things. At the end of the day, this was still Derrick's fault.

"Goodbye, Mr. Fu." One of their guests came towards Charles and shook his hand.

"Mr. Fu, you look so handsome today," said another guest.

"Please keep my business card, Mr. Fu. I hope we can meet again some other day."

Everything that transpired all came down to their interests. It was clear to everyone who would take charge of the TS Group.

In addition to that, Charles' influence on the TS Group had never completely disappeared.

After some time, everyone proceeded to ignore Derrick and Joseph.

Derrick gritted his teeth in anger and loathing. He cursed Joseph under his breath, "You idiot, you idiot..."

All he could do was say these words over and over again. He couldn't think of anything else.

"How dare you chew me up? Look! Don't you see what you have done?" Joseph muttered angrily to him.

The guests smiled at Charles as they left one by one.

Derrick couldn't quite hide his exasperation and fury. He hated Joseph for his impetuousness and carelessness. Joseph completely fell into Charles' trap so easily.

Therefore, Derrick could do nothing but watch as the TS Group was handed back to Charles.

'Joseph, you fool! You only had to endure it for an hour. After that, you would not have been held accountable by Charles' recording. If only you waited, then TS Group would still be in your hands!' Derrick thought to himself.

'Why are you so impatient? Look at what you have done!

After all, Anna is just a woman. She is stubborn and selfish. And now, you have given up TS Group because of her. You idiot!' he continued to slander Joseph in his mind.

Derrick was so angry but he had nothing to take it out on. After all the guests had left, he just acted like an imbecile and screamed out loud.

"Have you shouted enough? Now, stop acting stupid!" Frederic picked up his cane and whacked Derrick on the arm.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Derrick immediately hugged himself like a little child.

Meanwhile, Frederic sat beside Joseph and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that you divorced Daisy?" Frederic sighed and looked at the poor Joseph.

"Well, I'm afraid you won't agree..."

"So what now? Do you regret it?" Frederic asked him pityingly.

"Yes, Grandpa. I do regret it." Joseph was so distressed and unhappy that he sobbed like a kid.

Frederic sighed and asked again, "Do you know why I don't want you to divorce Daisy? It's because she is simple minded and won't influence your thoughts. She also won't meddle with the group affairs. But Anna is different. She got closer to you and your damn father..." As he spoke of this, Frederic suddenly raised his voice. "All she wants from you is the opportunity to enter TS Group and make a profit. Why can't you see such an obvious and simple thing?"
