"Okay, Naumi, if that's your decision, I accept it. I can only say a thousand words of apology because I couldn't help myself that night," Daren said. He wasn't a pushover, so if Naumi didn't want to marry him, that was fine with Daren. "Never mind, Daren, forget it. And I beg you, keep this a secret," Naumi pleaded. "You take it easy, Naumi, I will definitely keep your miscarriage a secret. I will ask the help of the doctors and nurses who have handled you to keep this secret," said Daren. "Thank you, Daren."As for Charlie, he was in the hospital too. He wasn't too bad, no internal injuries either. Charlie was just weak and battered.Laura had gotten the news about Charlie's condition, she immediately rushed to the hospital even though she was very lazy. "What did she forget, that my savings are running low. My boutique also started to lose customers because of that case. Now that he's hospitalized, who knows how much money I'll have to spend on hospital bills?" Laura continued
"Why, Make?" asked Daren once again. "Take a look at this, Young Master."As soon as Make handed over his cell phone to Daren, he showed him the video that had suddenly appeared on Make's social media timeline. In the video, several consumers were seen complaining of stomach pains after drinking FruitWave bottled drinks produced by the Davidson branch of the company. In fact, there were several people who reportedly died due to the poisoning of the drink.Residents began to gather and protest in front of the bottled drink manufacturing plant."Make, this is a very serious problem! We need to get there immediately," said Daren. Daren and Make immediately went to the location. Daren would clarify the issue as much as possible."I'm sure, Young Master, there must be someone who deliberately wants to bring down FruitWave products. There must be sabotage!" said Make. "I think so, Make. Haven't FruitWave's packaging products been around for a long time? Why is there a problem now?"Dare
Daren and Inspector Barra were at the 'Pro Experiment' Chemical Examination Laboratory, investigating a case of poisoning caused by FruitWave bottled drinks.Daren and Barra sat in a room full of sophisticated chemical equipment and several tubes filled with colorful chemicals."These are the results of the analysis," said Dr. Fram, the research expert on the case, handing them a piece of paper with the report."We found harmful chemicals in FruitWave that caused the poisoning. That substance is Diethylenglycol," Dr. Fram continued. "Diethylenglycol?" repeated Daren. "Yes, Mr. Daren, and Inspector Barra, we found excessive amounts of the substance in the drink. Diethylenglycol, a chemical that is commonly used as a solvent, preservative, and refrigerant. However, this substance is extremely dangerous if consumed in large quantities. The impact is like what happened to the victim. Using too much can cause poisoning, stomach pain, and even death," Fram explained.Daren nodded, "Oh, s
Laura sat on one of the chairs in her office inside the boutique. Lately, the boutique had been empty of customers. Some of her employees were busy tidying up items that no one was interested in buying. Since the death of Vivian, who was poisoned by Laura and Charlie, the boutique had been deserted.At first, before the case, Laura's boutique was very busy."Because of the case, my business is quiet. Is my mistake really that hard to forgive and hard for them to accept?" Laura muttered to herself."Nola Laura," called one of the employees at the boutique."Yes, what's wrong?" said Laura."How is it, Miss Laura. It's been a month since the case and our boutique has been quiet," the woman said to Laura. "Well... The rumors about the case spread quickly. Maybe people are afraid to come here," Laura replied casually.Laura let out a long sigh, even though she tried to relax it still stressed her out. "How can I get back on my feet? Do Charlie and I have to carry this sin for the rest of
Daren stepped into the Davidson Group's bottled beverage production plant with Richard, who was the manager of this branch of the company.Daren was not accompanied by Make as his assistant was finishing up his work in the office.Daren would only want to ensure safety at the production. He did not want the recent sabotage incident to happen again, where excessive chemicals had been mixed into one of the bottled beverage products resulting in consumer poisoning and huge losses for the company.As of this moment, the culprit had yet to be found. Daren glanced around the factory, trying to figure out if there was anything suspicious."Richard, are you sure the security here has been tightened?" asked Daren, worried about a similar incident."Take it easy, Mr. Daren. We have increased security here, from CCTV camera surveillance to regular checks on employees and incoming raw materials," Richard replied confidently.Daren nodded, but was still not entirely convinced."How can we ensure
"Hey, Young Master... " The beautiful woman smiled so sweetly, who else but Naumi. Daren was still stunned, hadn't Naumi decided to settle in London? The question hung in Daren's mind. Naumi, who saw Daren's stunned silence, could only smile widely while shaking her head. Then Naumi took Daren's hand. Suddenly, Daren's forehead wrinkled. "You'd better go home. Let your master come home with me," Naumi ordered Daren's driver. The driver would not leave without Daren's consent. Without thinking, Daren ordered his driver to leave.It turned out that Naumi took Daren to a café not far from the place. Daren and Naumi sat next to each other, the café was cozy, with sunlight streaming through the windows and giving it a warm atmosphere."How did you know I was here?" asked Daren as he sipped his coffee. "I found out from your assistant, Make. I was at Davidson's office," Naumi replied. Daren nodded, "So, why did you come back to this town, Naumi?" asked Daren curiously, looking int
"Okay, Make. I'm going to the office now," said Daren who immediately turned off his phone. Getting out of bed, he picked up his not-so-wet clothes, lying on the floor. "So... you're leaving?" asked Naumi irritably. She pursed her lips, looking disappointed that Daren was leaving when they had just finished making love and it felt like Naumi still wanted more of Daren's touch. Seeing Naumi's innocent and vulnerable body made Daren feel guilty."Sorry, Naumi. I have to leave soon, there's a meeting at Davidson's company. I have to get there," Daren said as he put on his clothes. He felt bad, especially seeing Naumi's disappointed face.However, instead of accepting Daren's explanation, Naumi pulled Daren's hand with enough force that Daren fell back onto the bed. Their bodies pressed together again, and Daren could feel Naumi's racing heartbeat."Naumi, I really have to go. I promise I'll be back soon," Daren said in a tone that tried to be reassuring.However, Naumi didn't listen t
Daren sat at the end of the meeting table, next to him was Make. Across from him, the architect and some of the staff looked tense as they waited to hear what Daren had to say.Earlier, after the meeting with his father, Daren had asked Make to contact the architect and gather the staff for another meeting."Thank you all for coming. I wanted to discuss the hospital, gym, and dojo construction project. Unfortunately, we have to postpone this project until a later date," Daren said seriously.The architect looked disappointed; this was a great opportunity for him."Why, Mr. Daren? Is there a problem with the budget or licensing?" the architect asked."Not that. At the moment, I have to focus on dealing with the problems at Davidson's branch company that have yet to be resolved. On top of that, I also have to take care of the new product launch. Our target is to launch the new product within the next two months," Daren explained. "So, for the time being, we have to focus on those two t
