CHAPTER 53

UNFORESEEN THREATS

Derrick watched as Lila's smile gradually faded at the mention of her resemblance to Mishell.

Seeing that he was beginning to get suspicious of her, Lila fixed her innocent eyes on him with furrowed brows as though in deep confusion.

"M...I...shell? Who is she? Plus, the name sounds familiar!” She claimed.

“You know her, right?” Derrick replied immediately with a light grin on his face.

“Is she your sister? Or your aunt? Or, is she your mother? Is she,”

“Hey—hey—hey! Calm down.” Lila interrupted his speech, pressing her hands in the air to calm him down.

“Who is the lady to you, and why are you so obsessed with knowing my connection to her? Besides, I don't even know her! I mean—this is the first time I'm hearing such a name!” Lila claimed with a plain face.

“Is this woman cracking a joke or something?” he said inwardly, looking more confused at her funny act.

You look tired,” Grey observed with a bit of concern when he saw the mood swing in his wife immediately after his mother left.“What did she tell her?” He wondered.“Isn't this what you wanted? That I go dance with your good-for-nothing brother while you dance with your mistress?” You and your mother are so despicable, Grey!” She said hoarsely with teary red eyes and made an attempt to move.“Where do you think you're going?” Grey demanded while he held her wrist tightly, drawing her back with force.“Let go of my hands! You're hurting me!” Cynthia screamed, hitting his hand hard with a violent pull of her wrist out of his grip.“What are those two doing? Fighting in an event they planned?” Derrick, whose eyes had been glued to them since he noticed their silly dance steps, muttered loudly with a frown.“Well, that's what w

Cynthia rambled as soon as she got close to them and pushed Lila away from her husband's grip, which made her almost slip on the floor.Lila remained mute. She calmed herself down because she knew it would be pointless arguing with a demented woman.“Well, congratulations on your new achievement, Mr. & Mrs. Grey Shun. And to you, Mrs. Shun, I wish you a glamorous birthday. It's really nice meeting you, and I hope we meet again,” Lila said politely and sashayed back to her partner with her smiles, ignoring the bitter looks Cynthia was throwing at her.“I said it! I know Derrick can never be associated with any good person in this life!” She continued.“Enough! Cynthia, this is the last time I'll ever tolerate you talking ill of my brother again!” Grey yelled with a thunderous voice, which began to draw unwanted attention to their side. He had gotten enough

She actually saw the old woman seated on the couch, but because her day had been messed up, she decided to pass without any greetings.“Hmmmm,” Cynthia took a deep breath and growled, looking angrily a

Grey can't remember when he last saw his mother with such anger and frustration in her eyes.Old Mrs. Shun had tried all she could to restrain herself from slapping that bitch of a daughter-in-law, but she couldn't until she finally hit herEveryone's eyes widened and their brows raised in shock.“Better pray we fix this mess you

Idiot!” Cynthia threatened, forcing the men to let go of Elena's hands.“Mother, maybe you should repeat yourself in simpler terms. I'm sure they're all too dumb to pick sense out of your statement.” She added, sneering at Amelia and Margaret.“Enough of all this nonsense, you daughter of a bitch!” Margret cursed hoarsely.Expecting a cold reaction from Elena, everyone was shocked to see her burst into a brash laugh.“Did you just call me a bitch, Margret?” Elena retorted with a frown and her partly closed eyes.“Wel

That means you'll be coming for regular check ups once a week,” the doctor said after close observation of Grey for a few days after regaining his consciousness.“Thank you, doctor,” Grey mentioned and nodded with a smile.“Thank God your health is back to normal now. I think it's time for me to take my leave,” Lila mentioned and waved at Grey, smiling suggestively.The piercing eyes of Cynthia rolled between Grey and Lila. She wanted to see how Grey would react to her goodbye message, but Grey was not naive to Lila's hard-to-get character.“Thanks for everything, Miss Ricks,” Grey said casually after a few seconds of silence while he stared at her flirtatiously.

Margaret's angry eyes looked as if they could swallow Elena whole if she dared to say anything.“Mother, I just asked you a question that needs an answer!” Cynthia yelled.“Hmmm. Are you talking to me?” Elena asked casually, pretending as if she were lost in some deep thoughts for long.“Of course, she's talking to you,” Amelia cut in.“Please, Mrs. Elena, what did you just say about my mother?” “Oh, y-your mother,” Elena stuttered and smiled suggestively.“I didn't say anything about your mother. If you heard anything, it's probably a slip of the tongue on my side,” Elena defended herself curtly.Lila smiled inwardly but masked her amusement with a stunned expression.

Remember, I just finished donating some blood now,” she said politely and began to walk away.Derrick was not willing to let go of her hands, but she pulled it out by force.“L—Lila,” he called again as he watched her departing back.This time around, Lila was getting pissed off already by his actions. Why did he want to keep her there without any reasonable thing to say? She ignored his call and continued moving, but that didn't stop him from following her again.“Lila, please, let me walk you out and drive you home,” he suggested as soon as he walked up to her.“Besides, you're weak, and I can tell you need some assistance,” he added.“Thanks but no thanks, Derrick.

Feigning concern, Cynthia's face assumed a perplexed look as she watched her husband drop his food and begin to pace back and forth in the room. “Honey, please talk to me. Maybe it's something I can help with,” she said with an intricate smile. “Grey! What is it? You can't keep us in suspense like this forever!” His mother asked impatiently. It has been long since she raised a voice at Grey like that, and she jerked him out of a pool of thoughts in silence. Nodding his head, he began, “The website, yeah, the website.”“What happened to the website? You still haven't said anything!” Margret insisted, her heart began to sink in fear, seeing how profusely Grey was sweating even under the fan.“I think the company website has been hacked,” he finally pulled himsel
