Chapter 961: Seeing his fear, Melinda concluded that Chloe's revelation was indeed true. But she still wondered why Derek was so nervous.
She decided to press further.
"Chloe said that village girl, Marissa, is from Adagend. You used to live there, right? You knew Marissa, didn't you? And you also knew she was impersonating Tiffany... didn't you?" Derek's lips tightened, too frightened to utter a word.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was clear to anyone with eyes that he and Marissa shared a secret, one he was desperate to keep hidden, and that secret could very well enrage Aelfric.
Atе$т ¢#αрtêяs Iи galFoley chuckled to himself as the pieces fell into place. Ever since Derek got engaged to Melinda, Foley had been jealous of him. He had refrained from causing trouble, not wanting to cross Aelfric, but now it seemed Derek's protector was on the verge of turning against him.
Meanwhile, Neil scowled, his concern growing. He didn't think too highly of Aelfric anymore, especially after...
The latter had been expelled from the Doomsday Base and had been considering other options available to him, but he wasn't ready to sever ties with Aelfric just yet. He feared that Derek had made a mistake that could cause Aelfric to end their cooperation in anger.
Neil marched over to Derek and kicked him in the shin.
"You brat! Hurry up and give us an explanation." Aelfric's glare could have pierced through steel. His voice was cold as he spoke, "You'd better tell us the truth, Derek. If you lie again, I might turn my back on you for good." Derek shuddered and immediately dropped to his knees.
"I didn't mean to lie to you!" he blurted out, his words tumbling over one another.
"Marissa and I no longer have anything to do with each other, so I didn't think it was necessary to mention her to you, and I certainly didn't want to upset Melinda." "You didn't want to upset me?" Melinda said thoughtfully.

Aelfric's eyes narrowed. He was a shrewd man and had already figured e out the truth.
"Derek," he said slowly, "there have been rumors online that you were once engaged. They're true, aren't they? And this fiancée of yours... It's the village girl that Chloe mentioned, isn't it?" Derek lowered his head even further, unable to confirm or deny anything.
"Speak!" Aelfric roared, slamming his fist on the table next to his next to his bed.m Everyone jumped at the sudden sound.
