As Harlan drove the car, he glanced at the rearview mirror only to find Darren frowning tightly. He had his brows furrowed in an annoyed way, like he was going to flare up at any moment. The inside of the vehicle gave off a heavy and gloomy atmosphere that could be felt by both of them.
Harlan had forced Darren to come with him, so he had already expected his impatience at the moment. In order to not make him angrier than he already was, Harlan only threw sideways glances at him, watching him carefully.
The car drove steadily for a while. Harlan watched as Darren's expression softened a little, his brows no longer furrowed. Relaxing a little bit, he closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the seat.
He looked tired. There were dark circles around his eyes, and his chin was covered with a light stubble. Darren had always lived a humble life, but it was still difficult for Harlan to see him struggle like this.
To get rid of the awkward ambiance inside the car, Harlan decided to break the silence. He cleared his throat and asked, "You haven't had a good rest these two days, have you?" He took a quick glance at Darren through the rearview mirror, concern flooding his eyes.
He added, "I prepared nutritious food for you, so you can have it when you go back. You need a good rest for a few days, too. So please, have as much rest as you can while we talk about some things for now."
Darren only looked back at him through the rearview mirror as a response but didn't say anything else. He was still mad and chose not to talk to Harlan as long as he could resist it.
Sitting still at home was unbearable. He was resting physically but his mind was elsewhere, constantly thinking about the issue at the company and the important matter related to Bonnie. Eventually, he grew tired of pretending to rest and rushed to the company to finally deal with the problems.
As soon as he stepped foot into the company building, a sudden gush of familiarity coursed through him, and he wasn't sure whether or not he liked it.
He scanned the floor and immediately saw several female receptionists gather and gossip with each other, as if they were watching a good show.
He continued to watch them as well and heard one of them say, with just a tad amount of jealousy in her voice, "I don't understand what Mr. Xu was thinking. He's a man of competence and he could get any woman he wants. He did everything he could to build the company from the ground up, but unfortunately, he was blinded by that woman's words!"
The others, who were listening intently, chuckled.
A voice as cold as hell called, "What are you talking about?!" Darren's voice echoed as silence enveloped the room and all heads turned to him.
Recognizing him, each of them was suddenly struck by terror. Everyone braced themselves for the disaster that was bound to come. All of their faces went white and none of them could do anything other than lower their heads in embarrassment. Even though their hea
eing her elated, so he immediately nodded. Bonnie smiled even bigger at his confirmation.
After a while, he regained his serious expression and replied formally, "Miss Sun, I'm your private lawyer. My name is William Yang. I'll be taking care of your case and I want you to listen carefully.
The real murderer has been found. As long as you make your confession and tell the police honestly that you are innocent, you can be released from prison in a few days!"
Hearing this, Bonnie's heart rate raised as she excitedly processed this information. Her eyes welled up with tears of joy, and she was still too shocked to even murmur a reply.
After everything that she had gone through, finally... Darren had come to save her.
She was very surprised but tried to compose herself. She was still in such a state of shock that when she talked, her lips trembled. "Mr. Yang, are you serious?"
William Yang looked her directly in the eyes and repeated what Darren had told him.
"There is someone else behind this case, and it is relatively complicated. After all these days of unremitting efforts, we have tracked down the real culprit.
Besides, he has confessed his crime. You and Mr. Xu are both innocent. Neither of you will be involved. You don't need to worry anymore, Miss Sun," he said to her reassuringly.
Even though she was surprised by the lawyer's words, Bonnie couldn't help but smile. It was like a blooming white orchid, so beautiful, fresh, and fairly innocent. The haze in her heart instantly dissipated. And it was all because of Darren. She couldn't contain her happiness.
She nodded gratefully, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Thank you so much, Mr. Yang!"
William felt warmth engulf him as he watched her. He took pity on the kind-hearted girl crying in front of him.
"You're very much welcome, Miss Sun. This is what I do, and I am very happy to have done it for you. Don't you worry now. If there are any updates, I will inform you as soon as possible!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
