Losts With Twelve Sins

Chapter 03

Derrick kept his cool as Everyone could not understand if Mrs. Nathan was outraged or if she was sad about the revelation.

"He is your son inlaw and you will respect my grandfather's approval of our marriage." Nina said bluntly in a crying tone to her grandma.

"Mr. Derrick, how much do you need to Disappear from my granddaughter's life?" Mrs. Nathan asked him.

"With just one million dollars, I will leave and bring you back to glory." Derrick said to her and she found it Gold Digging of him.

"Wow! You even dare to ask me for money!" Mrs. Nathan said, mocking Derrick.

Derrick and Nina were too bold as Mrs. Nathan was having her birthday, they did not only not prepare any gifts for her, and Derrick even dared to open his mouth and ask Mrs. Nathan to lend him money.

"You're the only poor Son Inlaw my husband accepted in our great family." She abuses him.

But they didn't understand that Derrick had a unique heart, because her insults or the mockery he was facing did not change the fact that he just wanted his Nina safe and to get his revenge on the Britton's.

They had ruined her birthday with such sad news of her granddaughter marrying Derrick.

Derrick and Nina felt that since today was Mr.s Nathan’s birthday, then maybe she might be soft and understanding to work with them.

"Hahaha!" Mrs. Nathan laughed as she raised her hand into the air in tears, laughing Maniac-ly to express her madness.

"You pauper bastard! You dare to ask me for money to glorify my family's name on my birthday, do you take me for a fool?" She fired back at Derrick as she spilled her whine over his body as he stood unbothered.

Derrick’s wife, Nina, rushed in and explained to Mrs. Nathan the reason why Derrick needed the huge amount of money.

"You're a disgrace, can't you see he is a poor man? How dare you bring him here to ruin my day?" Ninas Grandma yelled at her.

"Granny, my husband made a mistake coming here to ask for your help, he only felt he could help our dying company." Nina said to her.

Nina had gotten enough of the shame.

In this same moment, Nina could see her entire family mocking them as she stood horrified.

"I don't mean to mock you but look at the kind of useless marriage you are accepting! Andrew and I are engaged and here we are... We have given grandma a new private jet, although you came here to announce your marriage with your husband who brought nothing at all but disappointment!" Vera, an age range of Nina and family members, mocks Nina.

"Such a disgrace indeed." Mr. Andrew, Vera's husband to be, who saw Nina to be a goddess far above his own engaged woman Vera, said back, mocking Derrick as well.

He was a secret crush of Nina but kept his feelings a secret even while engaged.

Andrew could not believe that Nina was going to belong to Derrick, her personal guard who was poor and requesting money, so it annoyed him about such happening, especially since it wasn't The Triumphant Britton he had expected.

"We shouldn't tolerate this kind of rubbish, it’s very important that we get him out of our Nathan family as I speak!" Andrew added.

"Indeed, this guy doesn't deserve to have Nina as his wife at all, we should kick him out, he is a beggar and should be fired from his posts as Nina personal security." Another person said from the group for family members.

"Imagine a poor man, and a guard for that matter getting married to our Nina, what kind of son-in-law fails in providing a gift for Grandma Nathan, he is a failure." One added.

Derrick kept boiling in anger as he moulded his fists into a punch, especially on the fact that they were not only abusing him but even Nina who now looked depressed and sad.

For a moment there, they both began to wonder if their plan to announce their engagement came stupidly as a result of them having sex with each other last night.

But this wasn't the actual case.

If the Britton's didn't have a hand in harming Nina or the family business which they cherished, he would have walked away as their behaviour had reached an extreme.

They made him feel like being poor was a sin.

"Relax Derrick." The voice in Derrick's head said to him and he exhaled and inhaled, ensuring that he avoided the multiple insults being thrown at him from the different angles of the parlour.

"In the last meeting, you made mention of the company's assets being seized by the government, and I know someone that can bring investors, you have to trust me." Derrick said to his mother who opened her eyes in surprise.

To her... Derrick was speaking gibberish.

She wasn't the type who would trust any poor person as her thoughts were focused on the fact that she had to accept Derrick as her son in law despite his biggest flaw in being penniless.

"What is your name?" Someone asked.

"I am called Derrick Vlon?" Derrick replied.

"If you don't have money to buy anything for granny then you don't need to make yourself known here... You obviously don't deserve my sister." Kelvin, Vera's brother, mocks as well.

These two were beginning to love the mockery they were able to fire at Nina and him.

"Grandma, Derrick you need to listen to what he is saying, I am the heir of my grandfather's business and we both know that we can't lose any opportunity of help, you said it yourself." Nina follows her grandmother instead.

Judging from her body movements and words, one could tell that she felt humiliated, the embarrassment she and her husband were facing before the family felt like they were being burnt down with their rage.

"I am not deaf Nina, he said he wants this money to bring glory to my family."

"Now that's an insult because my family has all the glory it has always needed all these years." Nina grandmother fires in a crooked tone.

"Isn't glory and progress what you want!?" Nina fired back at her grandmother.
