Chapter 2

After I finished speaking, Derrick's face was filled with hidden anger.

Without caring about their reaction, I went to the room to pack my stuff to make room for Katrina.

Seeing me leave, Katrina sat aside and gently patted the back of his hand.

"Aria didn't mean to hurt you. Don't be angry. I will explain it to her when she comes out. Besides, you declined her application for the job was a wise decision. The internship will take up most of her time and energy, and she won't be able to take care of Beth," said she.

I quickly packed her luggage, and when I came out of my room, Derrick was totally appeased by her.

As he saw my suitcase, he sneered with pressed lips.

I walked towards the door, and Katrina picked up the card and forced it into my hand.

I threw the card away. "Take back your hypocritical offering!"

Derrick immediately stood up and rushed over, hugging Katrina in his arms.

He said, "Do you know what you are talking about? Are you losing your mind? We have spent the whole day painstakingly taking the wedding dress photos for you, and this is how you thank us?"

When I heard his blame, tears suddenly welled up in my eyes.

All the negative feelings I had suppressed in my heart burst out at this moment.

I said, "Tell me, does your wedding dress photo shot contradict my application for the job in your company? You know so well how much effort I spend in order to get this job!"

I added, "I was studying the previous project of the company even when I was taking care of my mom in the hospital, and when I finally qualified for the internship, you deprived this chance of me! I have made myself outstanding from so many graduates with my own ability and hard work, I..."

In the end, the tears made me unable to continue.

However, Derrick looked increasingly impatient as I cried out what I had suffered.

"I just wanted to ease your burden so that you could focus on taking care of Beth instead of being distracted by work! Compared to a married woman like you, I'm more suitable to feed our family. Besides, if you are really as competent as you claim to be, you can still find plenty of good jobs after Beth recovers!" he said.

He continued, "However, the Moore family can only rely on Katrina. If she is unemployed, her whole family will have no income! Can't you show a little mercy to your best friend and give this job to her?"

I never thought Derrick would say this to me.

At that moment, I stared at him in disbelief.

The man who once promised to work hard with me in this city now didn't show any trace of the love he once had for me.

Time was really a horrible carver that could reshape a decent man into a bastard.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, he continued in a stern voice, "Now that your mother is sick, can't you stay at the hospital to take care of her instead of going to work? Or do you value your job more than your mother's life?"

"You already knew the wedding dress photos were fake, so stop making such a sully face. All I did was for you!" he said.

His questions one by one hammered my heart and made my chest ache.

After a moment, I said desperately, "Derrick, have you forgotten that my mother can see your Instagram?"

"You have forgotten the reason she came to this city for medical treatment was to make sure that I could find a job before she left, haven't you?" after saying that, I laughed out loud at myself.

"Sorry, I forget you have devoted yourself to taking the wedding dress pictures with my best friend! I shouldn't bother you with these trivial things!" I said.

I thought maybe Derrick could reconsider giving me a chance to get the job in his company out of guilt after I pointed out all his faults.

But when Derrick heard what I said, he was like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

He immediately stamped with rage.

The next second, he held Katrina in his arms and yelled at me angrily, "Don't use your mother to pressure me! How could she know it when she was so fucking sick?! You must have told her!"

"You won't stop nagging unless you can get this job, right? Well, I'll explain to your mother in person why I didn't give you the job! Are you satisfied?!" as he spoke, his saliva splattered on my face.

After venting his anger, he still couldn't calm down.

Seeing this, Katrina was so scared that she started to cry and hurriedly explained, "Can you guys stop arguing? I'm going to the hospital right now with my chatting records with Derrick to explain to Beth that we took the picture only in order to get the subsidy the company prepared for the married couples who are both its employees!"

"Aria, I didn't mean to take your job. Can you stop being mad? I'll take the card and explain to Beth. She will understand me, and if she is still unsatisfied with my explanation, I'll just quit my job!" she said.

I didn't expect that Beth would be framed by her even though she had passed away.

Before my mind could catch up with my body, I slapped Katrina on the face.
