Charlotte lamented."It only means one thing: your mum Sophie had a lover back then before she met the Lockwoods. The question is, who?""My mum!" she muttered.Derek placed his hands around Charlotte's shoulder, who was going confused."What else have you done?""I've snatched more than half of their customers. In due time, they'll notice," Rebecca said, pride evident in her tone.Derik smirked. "Very good, Rebecca," while Rebecca smiled."Shall we go eat?""No, I can't join you guys for now.

"Charlotte, are you okay?""Derik? Derik!" Charlotte said as she grabbed Derik and hugged him tightly.Derik wrapped his arms tightly around Charlotte, so tight she felt a little discomfort, but she didn't pay much attention to it as her heart was beating fast."Derik, I'm so scared!""Why? What happened? Talk to me!""I miss my mom! Sometimes, she yells my name, telling me she needs to tell me something. I feel so scared that I might never hear whatever she intends on telling me! I'm so scared that the Lockwoods who caused her death will go scot-free. I'm so scared I might end up like..." At this point, Charlotte was already tearing up as she tried to finish her sentence."Shhh," Derik cut her off, "It's okay, Charlotte! Don't feel scared, I am here for you. I will always be by your side. Always remember that, okay?" His tone was steady and reassuring while his gaze was fixed on her.

Charlotte immediately jumped away from him and turned around to glare at him, "if you keep acting like this, I won't be coming around anymore."He looked at her blushing face and didn't make a fuss. He sat down and looked at the food in the lunchbox: a sandwich, chicken wings, fried rice."You did all this?""Sure did. I owe you, so I figured I should repay you properly.""Join me for lunch!" Derik insisted."Oh, no, I just finished eating. I'm stuffed.""Then watch me eat.""Derik!" she exclaimed.Derik raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "What's the problem?""I have work!""So do I. Are you more busy than i am?"Charlotte felt a little embarrassed. "Since you're so appreciative," he continued, "why don't you just stay and eat with me!"At this point, it wasn't a request; it was a command from Derik to her.She picked up her fork and dug into the food alongside Derik. It was obvious Derik wasn't hungry; he just wanted Charlotte by his side as he fed her.He kept offering Charlotte mo
"So fast?""I have to. And it's best if you don't disclose my new address to anyone," Charlotte said.Bella didn't realize that Charlotte had Derik in mind when she said 'anyone'; she had just thought of any random person."Okay, Charlly."Suddenly, a familiar car appeared in front of her. The door opened, and Derik got out of the car. Just like earlier, he was still holding a bunch of flowers and smiling at her.The moment she saw him, her eyes turned. Derik walked in front of her and handed the flowers to her. "Congratulations, the defense is over." She extended her hand and received the flowers. "Thank you.""Why are you so down? Isn't the result ideal? In my opinion, you are someone who can never go wrong."She tried her best to control her emotions. She pursed her lips and smiled but didn't say anything.Derik frowned. "Looks like you really have something on your mind. What's wrong?"At this point, Bella had bowed her head in respect to Derik before walking out, leaving the two
"Mr. Miller, stop! Where are we going?" Charlotte abruptly stopped, forcing Derik to halt too. "What you just did back there, what was that all about? And who are you?" Charlotte asked, looking confused.Derik raised his eyebrows in pride. "I am your guardian angel, can't you see?"Charlotte didn't reply but only stared at him, making him force more words out of his throat. "Listen, I am the overall head of this school. It was owned by my brother. When he died, the school became mine.""Your brother? The one, the Lockwoods?..."Derik gritted his teeth in hatred, while Charlotte only stared at him, short of words. "I'm so sorry!""It's okay! Get in the car!""But why didn't you tell me about your authority in this school? You should have told me at least!"Derik leaned closer to her. "Are you angry?""Angry? Of course not! I'm just... just... surprised," she said as she looked away, realizing that she might have been a little bit angry."You are free to get angry! It makes you cute," h
