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
Darren didn't answer Cloe's question, of course he couldn't tell her about Mr. Handrick who had abused Mr. Salvador from a young age. Darren instead asked a question that alluded to the incident a bit by saying, "Em Cloe, have you ever heard of any of the underclass being involved in domestic violence?" Hearing that Cloe seemed confused about what to answer. But Cloe asked Darren back. "Why would you ask something like that, Darren?" Darren was silent and didn't want to speak up again. Perhaps he was too quick to ask that question so Cloe didn't want to give him much information. "I hope you don't get involved with any scandals to ruin your reputation, Darren. I want to see you and your company succeed and be able to achieve all your dreams that have been there since we got married," said Cloe who again showed her concern for Darren, to the point of mentioning his dreams. From there Darren felt there was an opening to make Cloe even more enamored with him. "It's ac
"Orphan told me. She's probably in the police car for protection right now, she's still in shock from the abuse she received. "You might as well help me protect Orphan, especially from the media. Don't let the media know that it was the drug cartel's henchmen who leaked the information, because it could derail my plan," Darren said. After talking at length with Patricia, Darren immediately approached Walt who was waiting for him in the car. During the trip, Darren, who sat in the passenger seat, closed his eyes as if he was replenishing his energy that had been a little drained all day. However, not long after his cell phone rang, displaying the name Mr. Charlotte, Darren picked it up. "Hello?" Darren's voice opened the conversation. "Hello, Darren. Where are you?" asked Mr. Charlotte matter-of-factly. "On my way home, Mr. Charlotte. What's going on?" Darren replied matter-of-factly, he was indeed on his way to the mansion. "Before you go home, can you join the meeting with
"You were acquitted of drug charges one week ago, but now you admit guilt. Did someone pressure you? Are you a victim of guilt and slander?" When he heard the question, Mr. Salvador suddenly stopped walking, followed by the reporters who were curious about his response. Amidst the crowd of reporters and camera flashes still shining on him, Mr. Salvador looked in the direction of the question. There stood a reporter in a plaid shirt and round glasses grinning slyly at him. "How could you think of such a question?" Mr. Salvador's ambiguous words instantly made the other journalists feel compelled to listen. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Salvador?" urged one of the other reporters to give a more detailed explanation. However, Mr. Salvador preferred to remain silent. Just as he was about to resume his stalled walk, someone shouted his name in the middle of the crowd. "Salvador!" Suddenly, what had been a crowded room fell silent. Everyone in the room fell silent, inc
"System turn on," Darren muttered in a very low voice as he walked down the hallway. [SYSTEM ACTIVATED!] [SYNCHRONIZATION... 15% 25% 44% 56%...] Darren had just gotten information from the receptionist that Cloe was in the restaurant's VVIP room. He had also gotten a message from Cloe asking him to come directly to the VVIP room. 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 ROBOT
"There were no threats made to me by Mr. Charlotte. The withdrawal of the charges is purely from my own initiative, given that Mr. Charlotte has admitted his actions." A calm, thoughtful, and charming answer. Yes, Darren, always has a wise answer to any question regardless of the situation. "Aren't the companies Corpa Miller Group and The G&K Johnson Group business rivals?" "Competition in the business world is unavoidable, so I try to think more rationally in taking action and not easily get emotional just because of trivial issues," Darren answered which also became his closing statement. According to him, the three questions were enough to answer and provide sufficient information. Darren then signaled Walt to open the way and took him away from the press conference room. Suddenly Darren's departure from the stage made the journalists excited because they were not satisfied with the answers given by Darren. They then crowded towards Darren who was walking away from the
