"Are you doing this on purpose, Mr. Charlotte?"The atmosphere in the inmate and guest visiting room was tense. Darren and Mr. Charlotte were sitting opposite each other with serious expressions.A few hours ago Darren sent a visit request which was immediately approved by Mr. Charlotte. Darren deliberately wanted to talk directly to Mr. Charlotte after many suspicious events."I didn't expect you to come visit me here," Mr. Charlotte said with a chuckle.Darren snorted in disgust. He knew Mr. Charlotte was deliberately provoking his annoyance."Yeah, you planned for me to come here. Right?" asked Darren."What do you mean? I complied with your wishes by staying in this prison. You don't seem satisfied," replied Mr. Charlotte."No need to pretend, Mr. Charlotte. You called me to give an implied ultimatum.""I'm just warming up before facing you in our upcoming business competition, Darren.""You're indirectly saying that you'll be free from prison in the near future. I can see what yo
"What did you find, Walt?" asked Darren.As Walt approached the table that had a laptop on it, Darren followed the man. The look on Darren's face was very curious. Especially seeing that Walt looked very serious when he was about to tinker with the laptop."Evidence showing Mr. Charlotte working with Mr. Kimberth and Mr. Jansen," Walt replied.Darren spontaneously broke into a smile. He was already beside Walt and looking at the laptop screen enthusiastically."Can this evidence be taken to court, Walt?" asked Darren."Unfortunately not, Mr. Darren. Although this evidence shows quite clearly that there was cooperation between Mr. Charlotte, Mr. Kimberth and Mr. Jansen, there are still irregularities that are not clearly recorded.""You took the CCTV footage?" Darren was somewhat amazed at Walt."Of course. I took CCTV footage in front of the prison's main entrance gate and the back gate. But the CCTV footage I took from the back gate was footage of the street pole," Walt replied expla
"I will still agree to Mr. Charlotte's request to release him," Darren replied confidently. Mr. Miller looked like he wanted to deny what Darren was planning. But seeing that Darren was very sure of his own plan, Mr. Miller pursed his lips again."Alright. I can't hold you back if you've made that choice, Darren," Mr. Miller replied.Darren immediately shifted his gaze briefly to Mr. Miller. He noticed the concern implied by Mr. Miller's expression. But he merely curved a reassuring smile. "Take it easy, Dad. I've lived with Mr. Charlotte for years. I know how he is," Darren replied. Mr. Miller had nothing more to say to Darren."Do whatever you want, but take care of yourself, Darren. Even though you know how Mr. Charlotte is, business competition is a cruel thing," Mr. Miller said.Darren nodded his head. He then looked at Walt, and gave him a brief pat on the shoulder."Thank you for your efforts in finding this evidence, Walt. We'll keep this in a secret room, don't let anyo
Darren spontaneously burst out laughing after hearing Cloe's question."What do you mean?" asked Darren. "Your question sounds ridiculous."Cloe looked at Darren with a stunned look on her face. She hadn't expected to see such a reaction from Darren."Why are you asking that?" Cloe asked in a fairly soft tone. Darren let out a long sigh after his laughter gradually subsided. Cloe's question really did sound ridiculous to his ears. He didn't even know what to answer now."What did you expect, huh?" Darren asked back, his tone sounding sarcastic.Cloe furrowed her brow."You think I'd still love you after what's happened between us so far?" Once again, Darren asked."What's wrong with me asking you that? We've only been apart for four months," Cloe said, sounding like she was expecting something.Darren nodded his head, then thought for a moment."It's true we've only been apart for four months. But what you're doing to me that's so unfair has been going on for years, Cloe."The look
"Jack! What are you trying to do?!" Cloe called out in a frantic shout.Regardless of Cloe's call, Jack only strengthened his grip on Darren's shirt collar. He gritted his teeth even more furiously, as if pouring out all his hatred."Let go, Jack. Don't act crazy," Darren said amidst his panting condition.Jack grinned at Darren, laughing at his words. He refused to remove his hand from the collar of Darren's shirt, not caring about the threats he was hearing."You provoked my anger, asshole. Why are you here with Cloe?!" asked Jack in an emphasized tone. Darren raised his head with his mouth agape. As the pressure of Jack's hand grip grew stronger, the more he struggled to breathe.It felt like no matter how much Darren tried to take in oxygen, his efforts failed."You haven't shown up for years, and then you come to bother Mr. Charlotte's family," Jack said angrily. Darren noticed the veins on Jack's neck popping. The anger that shone through Jack's eyes made his hair stand on e
"Darren, what happened?!" Mr. Miller said in a panicked tone after seeing Darren's condition. Darren and Walt's steps moved towards the living room of Mr. Miller's mansion. After hearing Mr. Miller's question, Darren just shook his head as he walked."There was a fight between Mr. Darren and Mr. Jack," Walt replied later.Darren looked quickly at Walt with both eyes glaring, warning. He didn't want to tell Mr. Miller what had just happened. "Why did you say that?" asked Darren in a voice that sounded like a hiss.Walt made a face that didn't understand Darren's expression. As a result, Darren just let out a rough breath as he held back his frustration. He just didn't want to see the concern that now radiated from Mr. Miller's gaze.Mr. Miller who walked hurriedly towards Darren was now facing his son. As Darren expected, Mr. Miller looked both pity and annoyance at the condition of Darren's injured face."Jack did this to you?" asked Mr. Miller. "Jack is Cloe's husband? Where di
That morning, Mr. Miller approached daren with an angry look on his face, who was sitting in the backyard of the Miller family home."Dareen!"Daren was instantly startled and when he tried to reply, was interrupted by his father's unstoppable rage."What the hell? You're seeing Cloe again?!" said Mr. Miller as he handed Jack a threatening message."Dad, don't take Jack's word for it, Daren was busy at the company yesterday and didn't have time to go anywhere," Daren denied his father's question."You can't lie to me, Daren. Look at the message sent by Jack, this threat wouldn't have been sent by Jack if you hadn't provoked his anger by meeting your ex-wife!" said Mr. Miller, who was still in a sea of emotions, showing the contents of Jack's message.After reading the threatening message, Daren cursed Jack in his heart and promised to beat him up when he met him.Daren couldn't help it, seeing his father's anger and Jack's threat was enough to make him confess."Okay-okay, Daren did m
After arriving at his company's office, Darren called Walt on the office phone to see him. Of course Walt immediately fulfills his call. Darren's secretary is indeed very dexterous, no wonder in a matter of minutes he is directly in front of Darren now,"Is there anything you need, Mr. Darren?" asked Walt who was standing in front of Darren with a tablet."Is there anything on my schedule in the immediate future, Walt? I would like to hold a press conference and clarify the innocence of Mr. Walter," replied Darren as he read and signed the documents piled up on his desk.Although new to the business field, Darren was quite successful in his career. Many companies automatically offered him cooperation in various fields. Of course, that kept him busy every day."Well, it looks like this week is too busy for Mr. Darren. There are also many important client appointments this week," said Walt as he stepped closer to Darren and handed him a tablet displaying his work schedule."How about ne
