Chapter 575 Substitute

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.

As soon as she was settled on her seat, Nancy said, "Rick, it sounds like you know me too well."

But Rick only looked at Nancy and smiled.

His smile had a sense of ambiguity.

This made Nancy even more at a loss.

She didn't know why Rick would smile like that.
