Looking at Hester with a meaningful expression, Derek habitually rubbed the jade ring with his fingertips. Derek long and thick eyelashes flickered, and the expression on his face instantly changed.
"It's my fault. I'll untie it for you now!"
As it slid down, Hester only felt a faint fragrance flashing through her nose. Her eyes were covered by a layer of shadow. Derek's cold finger lightly scratched her wrist, leaving a touch of coldness, but it was also daunting.
Hester's body trembled unconsciously, and then returned to normal. Hester slowly exhaled a turbid air, and the rope on her wrist gradually loosened. She quickly dodged and kept a distance between her and Derek.
"Thank you, Mr. Derek!"
Playing with the rope in his hand, Derek saw the wary look on her face, but he didn't care about it at all. Being kidnapped here for no reason, no one would casually believe that it was just a simple conversation.
Hester had an innocent look, but the fighting factors hidden in her body were indeed dazzling.
"It depends on Miss Hester's cooperation. Please sit down!"
Hester nodded slightly and threw the rope in her hand on the ground casually. Derek used the white handkerchief wiping his fingers, as if inviting her.
Hester was sitting on the sofa, with her hands on her knees. Hester's eyes twinkled, hiding her true emotions perfectly.
In the past three years, the best thing she had learned was how to perfectly hide her emotions. But it didn't rule out the occasional special circumstances, and there were also times when her mood was difficult to calm down.
"Mr. Derek, why did you ask me to come here? Is there anything important that you don't have time to tell me and directly kidnap me?"
Hester specially stressed the word "ask" and looked at Derek meaningfully. Even if the current situation was not very beneficial to Hester, she still had the most basic aura.
After all, it was he who did something wrong, she was more or les
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ay such words again. "
Derek was not surprised at Hester's decisive refusal. Derek raised his eyebrows slightly and hid his anger.
He didn't take it wrong. Hester looked weak on the outside and had infinite hidden ability inside. How could such a woman live a peaceful life?
"Since Miss Hester doesn't like to talk about this topic, I'll change it. This case is not suitable for you. You'd better withdraw as soon as possible. "
"Thank you again for your kind reminder, Mr. Derek! But since I have decided to help that person, there is no reason for me to break my promise.
As for the consequences, I will bear them myself and won't blame anyone. After all, I have tried my best, and there will be no regret. "
Hester frowned imperceptibly. She was not too surprised at his following words. They were two strangers. If it weren't for this case, she wouldn't have been kidnapped to talk with him for the rest of her life?
Hester smiled helplessly. It was really dangerous to be a lawyer! Although she said it generously, who could understand the bitterness in it?
"Although it's a good thing that people have arrogance, sometimes people still have to bow their noble heads and surrender to some pressure from reality.
Miss Hester, you are so smart. I don't think you don't understand, do you? "
