Chapter 179
It had been two months since the last meeting, and the atmosphere at all the project sites was full of enthusiasm and dedication. The admin staff, laborers, and all the workers and teams involved were enthusiastic about completing the hotel and restaurant construction projects in five cities.
At one of the project sites, one of the head supervisors stood in the middle of the field with the laborers who were busy working. "Come on, everyone! We're already at 90%! We can finish this on time if we keep working with this kind of enthusiasm!"
A laborer who was transporting materials shouted, "We will do it, sir, so that this project can be completed as soon as our superiors want!"
At another location, one of the admins in charge of organizing logistics was talking to a truck driver. "Make sure all these materials get to the site, no delays as ordered by our superiors!"

Daren stood in front of his bedroom window, looking out, thinking about his tumultuous life journey. Soon, he would be inaugurating five hotels and five restaurants that he had built with his team. However, before the big event, there was one thing he needed to do. "Mr. Daren, are you ready?" Make appeared in the doorway, interrupting Daren's reverie. "Yes, Make. Let's go," Daren replied as he grabbed his jacket. The two of them left for the hospital where Charlie, Daren's ex-in-law, was being treated. Charlie, who had slandered Daren for the murder of his mother-in-law, was now lying weak, no longer having any strength. The police said that Charlie's condition had deteriorated over the past week. When they arrived, the police took Make and Daren to Charlie's room. The man woke up and looked at Daren with tired eyes. "Daren...," Charlie whispered hoarsely. Daren looked at Charlie with a sardonic gaze, but actually he was very sorry, "Charlie, I didn't come to bring up the
Daren and Naumi take their children, Alexander, Lucas, Bella and Rose to the place where Daren's mother and father last met. Although Daren had met his mother and father in a dream last night. However, it felt like something was missing if he didn't visit the grave of his father and mother. "Hello, Dad, Hello Mom," Daren said as he placed flowers near his mother and father's tombstones. The children were in the baby box trolley. Daren's eyes were already red. Although he tried to be sincere. But it was still difficult. After he achieved tremendous success in a short time, but unfortunately the success that Daren had achieved, without being accompanied by his father and mother. "Dad, Mom, Naumi and Daren are here to introduce our children, grandchildren to you," Naumi said, seeing that Daren seemed unable to speak, so Naumi took over. Daren wiped his tears, then kissed t
"Here's the coffee," Daren said as he handed the coffee cup to Vivian, who was sitting on the sofa.Vivian smiled and took the coffee cup, "Thank you, Daren," she said as she sipped the coffee she had just received.Not long after, Vivian suddenly felt claustrophobic and began foaming at the mouth. Daren panicked at the state of his wife's stepmother, who was none other than his mother-in-law. "Mom, what's wrong with you?!" he shouted worriedly.Before Daren could do anything, Vivian was already lying lifeless on the floor.Just then, Laura, Daren's wife, arrived and saw what had just happened. "Mom!" Laura shouted hysterically as she ran towards the body of her stepmother. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.Laura turned to her husband, eyes red and full of anger, "You! You killed my mom, didn't you?!" she accused in a hoarse voice."No, Laura! I didn't kill your mom. I just made her coffee!" he tried to defend himself.However, Laura wouldn't listen to her husband's explanation. "
Daren stood tense, his hands still cuffed, feeling the blood at the corners of his lips still flowing slowly. His heart sank when he saw the pale face of Laura, his wife, who was sobbing in Charlie's arms. Daren didn't expect to be slandered this badly. All the accusations directed at him felt like an endless nightmare."The accusation of your stepmother's death is enough to shock me, but now I have to face even worse accusations?" Daren shouted with mounting anger.Daren couldn't help himself; his patience was at an all-time low. "Why would you say such a thing, Laura?!" he exclaimed. He felt torn between disappointment and anger, unable to understand what was happening.Through a sad, tear-drenched gaze, Laura looked at Daren and replied shakily, "You... you can't deny it anymore, Daren! I've found the proof myself!"Before Daren could argue, Charlie tapped him on the shoulder, a mocking smile etched on his lips. "That's enough, Daren. For now, you are guilty. And accept the punishm
"Enough! Take him to the cells. I don't want to hear any more of his nonsense!"Barra, annoyed by Daren's explanation, immediately ordered his subordinates to escort Daren to the holding cell.As soon as Daren was taken out of the interrogation room, Inspector Barra sat in her chair pondering. It was obvious that she was disgusted with the development of this case. However, she could do nothing but continue to search for more evidence.Meanwhile, in the holding cell, Daren continued to lament his fate. He had no idea how the poison ended up in his pants pocket. However, he realized that no one would believe him. He had no choice but to go with the flow of life that was playing tricks on him.When lunchtime arrived, police officers began distributing food to the detainees. The atmosphere of the detention room was quieter; some prisoners were seen enjoying the food in front of them. Meanwhile, Daren was still sitting pensively with a battered face as a result of being beaten by the poli
"You're a killer! The evidence is clear that you're a killer, Daren Navarro!"The people around him kept cheering and shouting insults. They didn't care about Daren's explanation. Irritated, he continued on his way, trying to stay away from the crowd that continued to insult him.The case of Vivian's death was still being discussed. They wanted to know how it went. Maybe it was because Vivian was the wife of a famous actor, so the news about Vivian's death by cyanide poison became a trending topic.Daren rubbed his stomach; hunger was starting to set in, the worms in his stomach had started screaming."I'd better buy some food over there," Daren muttered.When Daren tried to buy food at one of the bakeries, the baker gave him a cynical look. "We don't serve killer like you," the salesman said in a cold tone."Fine, thank you," said Daren, who chose not to fight back because he had no power at the moment. If there was real evidence, Darren might have shown it to those who had called hi
Daren, who felt increasingly upset by the treatment of the people around him, decided to return to Laura's house to pick up some of the remaining items.Upon arriving home, Daren saw Laura alone in the living room. It looked like Charlie had left for filming.When Laura saw Daren's arrival, she looked surprised. "Daren, how did you get free? Are you trying to escape?" Laura asked in a worried tone.Daren looked at Laura sarcastically. "Of course I'm free, Laura. I'm innocent," Daren replied firmly.Laura's face immediately paled at Daren's words. She looked shocked and didn't know what to say. Daren stepped into his room to collect his belongings, watching Laura's every move carefully.After gathering all the necessary items, Daren picked up the other important files. "I'm going to apply again to the company I used to work for. I won't let false accusations stop me," Daren thought as he put the files into his bag.However, before Daren left the house, he decided to confront Laura."La
"Charlie, you...." Daren was surprised to see Charlie standing in front of him.Charlie flashed a sardonic smile. "How are you, Daren?" asked Charlie in a condescending tone.Before Daren could answer, Charlie suddenly stepped up to Daren quickly. Deftly, Charlie pulled out a syringe from his jacket pocket."Shut up, Daren," Charlie said coldly, while gripping the syringe tightly.Before Daren could react, Charlie quickly jabbed the syringe into Daren's arm. Daren felt something prick and immediately felt his body go limp."D-Damn it, Charlie... What did you... do to me...?" Daren said with a voice that began to stammer, before finally fainting and his body collapsed to the ground.Charlie immediately carried Daren's unconscious body into his car. He looked at Daren coldly before starting the engine and driving away.Charlie arrived at an old building that had been empty for a long time. Charlie carefully carried Daren's body into the building. He knew that this place would not be vis
