Sweet Twins

Chapter 409 A Cold Attitude

Hearing what Frederic said, Angelina started feeling terrible as well.

"I know, father. Don't worry. Charles is a sensible man. He won't harm Joseph."

Frederic sighed, "There are always fights in the rich and powerful families. I thought it would never be a battle I would be a part of, but here I am!"

Angelina dreaded even the thought of it happening. If anything did happen, she would be just as useless. She could only comfort him, "Father, don't worry about it too much. Relax and just watch some TV."

Angelina was actually causing more trouble than she realized. The news about Derrick's car accident had provoked much discussion. How could there not be news about it on TV?

She turned on the TV and happened to see Charles and Joseph fighting, followed by Hiram, Nancy, police, and reporters. It was an absolute mess.

Angelina was like a deer in headlights. She froze and the remote shook in her trembling hands.

"What's going on? The media is good at adding insult to injury. They are all bastards who insist on getting in other people's business." Angelina panicked and tried to turn it off but ended up switching the channel. Every channel was reporting about the Fu family.

Angelina was nothing but flustered. When she finally was about to turn it off, she heard Frederic's angry voice blurt out, "Don't turn it off. Let me have a look."

"Dad, I don't think it's a good idea," Angelina said through an awkward smile.

"What? Did you hear me?" Frederic roared.

"Yes I do." How dare Angelina say no? She put down the remote control in a hurry and sat down timidly.

When Frederic saw the police taking Joseph away, he immediately stood up angrily. "Angelina, go and find Nancy for me now. This woman has to be in the middle of this. If she is involved, Charles and Joseph will never get along. Derrick was right. She approached Charles in order to covet the TS Group. How could I not see it until now? We need to get her away from Charles."

This was typical of human behavior. Their loved ones could do no wrong. It was always the outsider's fault and nothing could change their minds.

Nancy was innocent, right?

Angelina knew that and said hesitantly, "Father, it's not Nancy's fault. It's Joseph's fault..."

"I told you to go find her. Didn't you hear me?" He wasn't listening to anything anymore. He just wanted it to be done.

Angelina had no choice but to look for Nancy.

"Don't tell Charles. I'm afraid he'll strangle me!" Frederic shouted as Angelina exited the room.

Angelina was stunned. Charles was the apple of Frederic's eye since he was a child. She would never have thought that Frederic would speak so harshly of Charles.

It was no secret now. Frederic had very real hatred for him.

This was becoming quite the problem.

Angelina didn't dare speak her mind anymore. She could only say sulkily, "I see."

Jessie was busy treating Nancy's wound.

"Director Nancy, that Joseph is insane. He hurt you so badly. How can Mr. Fu let him go?" Jessie asked sincerely.

Since she returned to the hospital, she treated Nancy like a whole new person. She no longer retorted sarcastically or even mocked her. When she was faced with difficult operations, she would ask Nancy for advice and she was just generally pleasant.

Since Jessie's attitude had changed, Nancy held no grudges.

She smiled bitterly. "Derrick's life is hanging in the balance. It's understandable that Joseph lost his temper."

"You are a kind-hearted person. You always put others before yourself, but they still don't do that for you. After all, the Fu family is a rich family. Even though Charles treats you well, they all aren't the same. You'd better be careful," Jessie said worriedly.

"Frederic loves his son very much but I'm sure he'll be reasonable. Nobody would wish a car accident upon Derrick. It has happened though. There is no way to change it. We can only accept it." Nancy sighed, "Joseph made such a scene today. Frederic will probably hear about it soon."

"Yes. Nowadays, information travels faster than anything. You don't even get a chance to stop it." Jessie took a deep breath and said, "Even if Frederic loves his son, he can't put the blame on you."

"I hope not."

As soon as Nancy finished speaking, Angelina rushed in.

Nancy was lowering her head to check the wound, so Jessie tapped her to get her attention.

She cleared her throat and said with a smile, "Mrs. Fu."

Nancy raised her head rapidly. Seeing the anxious look on Angelina's face, she knew that something bad must have happened.

"Auntie, what's wrong? What happened?" Nancy immediately thought that Derrick must have been dead. It was the thing she feared most right now.

Angelina whispered, "Nancy, Frederic wants to see you."

"Okay." Nancy paused and asked, "Is Derrick alright?"

"I don't know. But whether he is fine or not, Frederic thinks it's Charles' fault. How did this happen? It's a mess at home," Angelina complained in a low voice.

"All bad things come to an end. Don't worry. Let me go to see Frederic." Anyway, as long as Derrick was still alive, that was the most important thing.

Nancy walked out of the office, followed by Angelina.

Angelina reminded her in a low voice, "Frederic is in a fit of rage. Be careful when you speak. If you irritate him, it will be bad for you and probably Charles as well."

"Auntie, since Frederic asked me to come here, don't you think he's angry with me anyway? Basically no matter what I say, he'll be furious." Frederic was still sick. He wouldn't call her here for no reason. It must have something to do with Joseph.

In the Fu family, she was just the outsider.

"Nancy..." Angelina knew that Nancy was a sensible woman. She had to show some form of strength and said, "Yes, he may be really angry right now, so you have to find a way to make him happy. Don't be stubborn. It's not going to help you."

Nancy smiled momentarily and kept quiet.

She knew Angelina was too used to ordering servants around so she didn't want to say anything to stir even more trouble.

Since Nancy didn't say anything, Angelina couldn't vent anymore. She had to sit and stew in her anger and sadness.

The two soon arrived at Frederic's ward.

They could immediately tell he was angry because his face was burning red.

"Grandpa," Nancy greeted politely.

Frederic squinted at her and snorted, "Don't call me Grandpa. I'm not your grandpa."

"Mr. Frederic, what can I do for you?" Nancy was never a person to be petty. Seeing that Frederic was annoyed, she opted to call him by a different name.

"What happened to Joseph?" Frederic barked.
