Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 257

As soon as Derrick Luo returned to his office, his assistant handed him a cellphone and said, "Mr. Luo, Miss Zhen called you when you were in the meeting earlier. "

'Nita called me?' Derrick was happy about it, so he took the phone and said, "Okay, I see. Please go out now." He was too anxious to wait a minute longer, so he immediately called Nita back, even before his assistant went out of the office.

Nita was waiting for Derrick's call, so as soon as the call was connected, she answered, "Derrick. "

"Nita, where are you now? I have been looking for you for days! Where did you go? "

Nita sneered. She had already known about his affair with another woman. She managed to compose herself, put on an aggrieved look, and said, "I have no idea what's wrong with Arvin. He asked the police to arrest me, so I had to hide here and there because I can't go home. "

"Where are you? I am going to you right now!" Derrick stood up from his seat, ready to head to her.

"No, Derrick. I want to lie low for a while until things simmer down. I'll see you then. Okay?" said Nita.

"Fine." Upset, Derrick sat back on his seat.

"But... Derrick, I'm going through a difficult situation... Could you..." He heard Nita's stammering voice from the other side of the line.

Derrick meditated. He supposed that Nita might be short of money as she was deprived of any chance to work, so her savings might have already been used up. He asked straightaway, "How much money do you need? I'll transfer it to you soon."

"Five million."

Derrick was shocked by the amount of money Nita wanted. His company was at a deficit because of the negative news recently. Even if his company wasn't in a state of losing money, Derrick still couldn't take out so much money in a short time because some of his savings was under his mother's control, and some was invested in financial products.

But he still promised her, "Okay, I'll try to transfer it to you by tomorrow."

"Thank you, Derrick. I've always known you are the man who treats me best in this world. Derrick, please wait for me. When I am safe, I will surely go to see you!" With five million, Nita would now be able to have someone kill Angela!

Derrick felt a warm sensation in his heart as he heard Nita's tender voice. He said, "Okay. Nita, could you please consider marrying me? Everyone knows about our relationship. If you don't get married with me, it's not good for your reputation..."

"Okay, I know. I'll consider it." Nita promised apathetically and then hung up.

Sitting in his office, Derrick turned around with his chair and looked out of the window, deep in thought.

In the end, Derrick's parents failed in stopping him from marrying Nita. They had no choice but to agree to it. After all, they only had one son, and Derrick had been brought up in a life of indulgence and comfort ever since he was born. His parents had always spoiled him and satisfied his every need.

Before they got married, Derrick went to see Arvin and asked him to let Nita off.

But Arvin refused to back down. He told Derrick that Nita had conspired with Adam Geng to have Rosa imprisoned for seven years. He urged Derrick to hand Nita over to the police, if he really loved her.

But Derrick got pissed off, and he confronted him, "Arvin, I know you hate Nita, but do you have to slander her like this? We all know that Rosa is Nita's good friend! Are you saying that Nita had held Rosa captive for seven years? What a big joke!"

Arvin cast him a cold glance and scolded, "If you don't believe me, then get out now!"

"Oh, now I know. It's Angela who spoke ill of Nita, right?" snapped Derrick. He was so upset with Arvin because Arvin didn't act like this before he got together with Angela. But now, Arvin didn't want to let Nita off, and he was trying to destroy her!

Hearing his words, Arvin frowned and said, "Angela has nothing to do with it."
