"Walt, take this guy down," Darren ordered while pushing the bodyguard roughly towards Walt. And of course, Walt caught him swiftly. As they arrived in the living room, Wayce, who saw the scene of the new bodyguard being led forcibly with his hands locked behind his back, immediately approached. "What's going on, Mr. Darren?" asked Wayce spontaneously. "Your new guy is a spy," Walt replied to Wayce's question to Darren, as if blaming him for not being good enough at picking people. "Huh? Are you really a spy?!" asked Wayce who immediately got angry at the bodyguard after hearing Walt's words just now. Of course, the bodyguard didn't answer Wayce's question, instead he continued to try to escape from the rope that was being wrapped around his body by Walt. Until Darren intervened to explain the chronology of events to Wayce. "Actually, I've been jealous of him since I first saw him. The way he occasionally looked down like someone trying not to be recognized and the way he lo
Instantly Charlotte's sly smile faded away slowly. Charlotte was dumbfounded by the video on the big screen that all the VVIP guests in this room were watching. Charlotte was perfectly still, his expression one of panic. So did Dianna, Cloe, Jack. and his two sons who sat together in a row with him. "It looks like we're going to have to go through the files on the Corpa Millar Group. That's the closest we can come to ruining their reputation." The atmosphere in the room became rather lively as the VVIP guests whispered to each other. They were all shocked, confused, and at the same time didn't expect Charlotte to be planning to betray Corpa Miller Group behind him back. "Oh, my gosh! I don't know what this video is, what's going on? What should we do?" Darren pretended to panic in front of the microphone. Secretly, Darren noticed the panic on the Johnson family members' faces. Darren struggled to contain his satisfied smile on stage. "Hey, show technicians! You guys need to fix
Graceful and sexy seems to be enough to describe Cloe's appearance tonight. Darren stepped closer to Cloe and stopped beside the empty chair in front of Cloe. "Hi, Cloe. I'm sorry you had to wait so long." Darren's apology started their conversation. "It's okeyy. It's only natural that the CEO is so busy," Cloe said in a teasing tone to Darren. "It could be you, Cloe. How are you doing, is your father well?" Darren tried to change the subject. "I'm doing well. I'm healthy too, since I got out of prison, I haven't gone anywhere. Maybe next week he can go to the office like usual," Cloe explained. Darren just nodded his understanding in response. "How are you?" Cleo continued with a warm smile. She propped up her chin, looking at Darren intensely. "Oh, thank goodness. As you can see, I'm fine," Darren replied briefly. "By the way, don't you remember this place, Darren?" asked Cloe. Hearing Cloe's question, Darren looked around carefully, remembering this place that seemed very
Darren leaned his back against the back of the chair and looked at Cloe intensely. His arms were crossed in front of his chest. "I didn't expect to make you uncomfortable because I know your cheating strategy," Darren replied. The more Darren said, the more Cloe looked awkward in her seat. On the other hand Cloe seemed to be desperately trying to avoid eye contact with Darren's gaze. "If you really need me that much, you shouldn't be like this," Darren replied while holding his wine glass, then raised it slightly. Cloe replied, "I don't know what you mean." "Just tell me, what benefits will you give me? Or put it this way, I'll make you an offer. If you refuse, then there is no deal between us." Hearing Darren's words made Cloe avert her eyes. Her eyes immediately sparkled with enthusiasm and excitement. She looked at Darren with a gaze that seemed full of hope. "What deal are you going to offer, Darren?" "About Mrs. Jane and Mr. Giordan. You know them, right?" asked Darren.
"What was Mr. Charlotte's reaction?" "Of course he didn't accept my refusal. Our relationship began to fall apart, there were many disagreements and so on," Mr. Matthew told Darren. "So, what about the fictitious project? Is it still being run by Mr. Charlotte?" asked Darren who was getting curious. "I don't know, I don't have much information either. But, once my informant told me that the project ended up costing the financial manager, Mr. Robert. I heard that Mr. Robert is still in jail until now," said Mr. Matthew as he sipped the cup of coffee in front of him casually. There was no fear or worry on his face as he told Darren all these things. Perhaps it was enough to explain that Mr. Matthew was not really involved in the embezzlement of funds and fictitious projects that Mr. Charlotte did. However, it made Darren want to dig deeper. "Emm, does that mean there are other people behind the case, Mr. Matthew?" Darren threw another question to extract information. "Of co
To be honest, Darren's heart was already racing. He imagined what he would talk about with Cloe later. "Mr. Darren, you must be on your guard in case Mrs. Cloe has a plan to trap you," said Walt who walked beside Darren. Darren was somewhat snapped out of his reverie. He nodded his head. "All right, Walt. You just relax, I can guard against Cloe's devious plans," Darren said with a reassuring smile. [SYNCHRONIZATION COMPLETE!] [WHAT DO YOU NEED, DARREN?] "Protection protection," Darren replied quietly. "Connect the connection with the robotic device named Hellen." [REQUEST ACCEPTED!] [THE SYSTEM PROCESSES THE CONNECTION WITH THE ROBOTIC DEVICE...] [DEVICE NAME: HELLEN] "What do you mean, Mr. Darren?" asked Walt who was standing beside him. Darren immediately gasped in surprise that Walt had heard him. He was a bit awkward, but then smiled sweetly and shook his head. "I was just talking to Hellen," I said, glancing at Hellen, my personal robot assistant. Hell
"I couldn't have bribed anyone. You know, I am powerful, but my movements are very limited here," Mr. Charlotte continued."Ah, if it wasn't at your behest, I'd be reluctant to agree to their request. I'm actually interested in freeing you and getting a lot of investment," Darren said.Behind his calm expression, Darren actually deliberately wanted to see how Mr. Charlotte would react. What he said was just a provocation.As Darren expected, Mr. Charlotte's face changed like someone who changed his mind. Mr. Charlotte slowly straightened his sitting position with an intense look at Darren."What did you just say?" asked Mr. Charlotte, then leaned his sitting position to Darren."Do you want to agree to their request to release me?" Mr. Charlotte asked more seriously."Of course," Darren replied. He realized Mr. Charlotte was starting to get provoked."Ah..." Mr. Charlotte muttered at length while tapping his index finger rapidly.Darren watched Mr. Charlotte who was considering someth
Darren's family was also quite surprised by Darren's unpredictable actions, until Mr. Miller said, "Darren, what did Mr. Charlotte give you, that you agreed to release him from prison?" Darren was silent, he just smiled slightly and left the living room and his father's question just like that. He deliberately did not tell his father about this release, because surely Mr. Miller would oppose it. Arriving at his room, Darren found his cell phone lying on his bedside table ringing. Darren went over to it, and it turned out to be a phone call from Cloe. Darren picked it up, "Hello?" "Hello, Darren, it's Cloe," Cloe said in a soft tone. "Yes, what's wrong Cloe?" asked Darren in a calm voice, actually Darren knew the reason Cloe was calling him now. "Umm, it's okay, I just want to say thank you to you, for helping to free my father from prison," replied Cloe who was heard while pulling a chair and looking for a comfortable position to talk to Darren over the phone. "Oh, you're welco
