Chapter 342
The piercing pain indicated Hailey that the man was ruthless. She trembled slightly, and fear overtook her.
"Not speaking? Let me guess. Left hand?"
As Derek said with a casual air, he raised his foot, stepped on her left wrist, and twisted it violently. Thump... The sound of a broken bone reverberating in the quiet surroundings made one's soul tremble.
"Ah... Uh.."
Hailey's face swelled and she sweated profusely. Her pupils widened. The veins on her forehead bulged and she could feel the pain of her wrist being broken. It was so painful.
At the moment, she was terrified. This man was a demon, not a human.
She now regretted that she had provoked Nora today. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to take it. Derek looked calm as if he had a dead branch broken it under his feet . He squinted and said, "Or, right hand?"
Not surprisingly, there was another creak, and Hailey's right wrist was crushed. Hailey didn't say a word this time, because she fainted from the pain.
Seeing that she had fainted, Derek was still angry and walked out with a cold snort.
"Tell the people here to take care of her.”
Of course, he didn't mean that. It was clear what he mean by saying take care of her.
Damian was not surprised. Miss Gray mattered a lot to his boss. This old woman had the guts to hurt her. This was the lightest punishment his boss had ever given her.
In the hospital.
Nora was in the ward recovering, and on the small moving table in front of her were several clothing magazines.
Although both her hands were injured, she was fine. The more serious one was her right hand. The area of her left hand that was scalded was not large. She could moved her left hand with attention. At this moment.
“Mom, mom..."
Easton's voice came through the door, and at the same time, he rushed in immediately, crawled on the edge of her bed, his round eyes full of worry.
Obviously, he knew what happened to Nora.
Nora missed him, but she didn't intend to tell her son about his injury. She didn't want to make the little guy sad, but now it was unrealistic.
"Easton, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. I'll be discharged soon. Don't worry,” Nora coaxed him gently.
Easton's little face was tense. It was only a day or two later. Nora's arms were tightly wrapped, and nothing could be seen.
But he knew that she was scalded by the old woman he saw at the mall last time. He was very furious.
He knew how painful the burn would be. Thinking of how painful his mother was, he burst out crying.
But he also knew that he was too young to do anything big. Fortunately, he believe that his dad would never let that old man go.
After he knew that the old woman was Sheldon's mother, he regretted that he did not take more money from him that day, or make him even more humiliated.
But it didn't matter as he thought there would be opportunities in the future.
Every day, Derek would visit Nora with Easton and stay in the ward with her until night. They looked like a harmonious family of three.
Nora had a good life while she was recuperating, but things didn't go well on Sheldon’s side.
After Hailey was imprisoned, most of the Joneses industries were affected and attacked by various unknown factors.
the Joneses was powerful, but it was still no match for the Joneses. It was completely impossible for Sean to shake up the Joneses with this.
Moreover, Sean soon found out what went on with Hailey's missing. He was furious and secretly blamed Hailey for messing up his plan.
Derek could do this for Nora. He was not sure if he recognized Nora.
He didn't want to show up, and Hailey caused the trouble. He asked Sheldon to solve these things. Although Sheldon was selfish, he cared about his only mother. He never thought that she would get into such a big trouble.
But at the same time, he was also very confused. Logically, even if his mother scratched Nora, it was between Nora and them. He didn't understand why the president of the Xavier Group got involved and stood up for Nora.
When he thought of this, his face darkened.
He had planned to contact Nora first, but then the same thing happened as the days when he returned back. He couldn't get in touch with her.
It happened again and again, which made him suspect that the last time it was the woman who deliberately doing that, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.
He was unable to find Nora, and on the other hand, he was worried about his mother. He had no way but to go to the Xavier Group.
The office of Xavier Group's president.
"Boss, Sheldon wants to see you. He's waiting at the front desk in the lobby,” Damian reported. Derek expected that Sheldon would come to him. After all, his mother was still in his hands. He said with a faint smile, "Tell him to wait. Just say that I might have time to see him this afternoon.” Sheldon waited for an afternoon in the lobby lounge. He was told that Derek had no time to see him and asked him to come back tomorrow.
Although he was angry, he was sensible and dared not say anything more.
Even the Joneses did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Xavier Group, let alone him.
As a result, same happened the next day. He waited a whole day in vain, and the third day was the same.
Sheldon also realized that Mr. Xavier was always making things difficult for him.
If Derek really didn't want to see him, he could just say that. But he asked him to come back the next day on purpose. Sheldon, who had never been treated like this before, was filled with resentment.
But he came to beg for help. Three days had passed, and he did not know what his mother was doing. He could only control his emotion.
Finally on the fourth day, Derek agreed to see Sheldon.
When he entered the office, he subconsciously put on a respectful smile.
"Mr. Jones, what can I do for you?" Derek looked at him expressionless.
Sheldon felt the pressured, smiled and said cautiously, "Mr. Xavier, I heard that you arrested my mother. Well... There may be some misunderstanding.”
Derek shook his head and said bluntly, "There's no misunderstanding. She hurt my woman. She should pay for that."
What?
He was stunned and focused on the words "My woman." His mother hurt Nora. Didn't Derek mean that?
