Right then, Daren's phone suddenly started ringing.He hurriedly tried to pull it out of his pocket, doing everything within his power to get his hands on it. But the phone seemed to be stuck in his pocket.The more he struggled to pull it out, the louder the ringing became. At the same time, the phone kept vibrating relentlessly against his body.Then, from the other end of the room, Daren suddenly heard the voices of Darlington and Thai Wong.“Did you hear that?”“It sounds like someone's phone is ringing…” Thai Wong said, his voice filled with suspicion. “The phone is ringing in this room, and if I'm not mistaken, someone else is here!”He paused, his eyes scanning the room.“Someone else is hiding in this room!”The moment Daren heard those words, panic surged through him.He desperately struggled to pull the phone out of his pocket, knowing that every second mattered.Meanwhile, Thai Wong clenched his fists tightly.“Didn't I say it?” he proclaimed. “I said that someone else is i

Thai Wong and Darlington followed Rachael, both expecting her to show them something important.Something that could, in one way or another, help them gather evidence against the person who had actually shot Fiona.But the moment they stepped into the lounge, both men stopped.There was no one there.Not a single person.The lounge was completely empty, except for the television, which was already on and playing at a high volume.Darlington's brows furrowed.He turned toward Rachael.“You said you wanted to show us something?”Rachael nodded.“Well, there's no one here,” Darlington continued, glancing around the lounge. “And it doesn't even look like there's anything here that needs to be shown. So what exactly is it that you wanted Father and me to see?”Rather than answer immediately, Rachael walked toward the television.She stopped directly in front of it, raised the remote, and pressed a button.The volume increased.Then she turned around to face them.“What I wanted to show you

Rachel's eyes widened as she heard what Darlington had just said to her! There is an intruder in the house? Darlington didn't stop there. He continued. “This intruder didn't stop there. He scattered all of this. He broke the walls. He destroyed things inside this room.”His breathing grew heavier as the memory of what had happened flashed through his mind.“And the moment we walked away...” He pointed sharply toward the wardrobe. “That bastard hid inside that damn wardrobe!”Rachel's mouth fell open.She stared at the wardrobe in disbelief, her lips trembling as shock spread across her face.“I don't understand what you're saying,” she muttered.Then she looked back at him.“Are you trying to say someone infiltrated this place? You're saying someone entered this mansion without proper permission, then made their way into Fiona's room and broke these walls?”Darlington nodded without hesitation.“Exactly.”“But how?!” Rachel immediately demanded.Her confusion quickly turned into di

Daren followed Darlington, Thai Wong, and Rachael as they approached the room—the control room.As he walked behind them, Daren could still remember the role he was supposed to play in all of this.His first responsibility was to make sure they got the opportunity to see the footage, pictures, and videos stored in the security system. But more importantly, he had to ensure that none of them suspected him in any way.He couldn't afford to let them discover that it was through his entrance that the so-called intruder had found a way into the house, broken through the walls to gain access to the CCTV system, and eventually escaped.Everything had to look as though the intruder had acted completely on his own.When they finally reached the control room, Daren stepped forward and opened the door, allowing the others to enter first.Rachael had already informed the workers in the control room that they would be coming to inspect the security cameras, so everyone inside was prepared and wait

{Taiwan— Thai Wong} While Thai Wong was addressing the issue with Daren, Rachel, and the other workers in the control center, asking them to leave, Darlington already had a series of thoughts running through his mind.Even after Rachel had left and his father turned to him, asking what he had been saying, Darlington remained silent. He didn't utter a single word.Seeing his son's silence, Taiwan immediately understood what was going through his mind. Darlington wasn't in the mood to get his hopes up, and perhaps he was already preparing himself for the worst.Taiwan decided that he needed to say something to him.He walked a short distance away from his son, then slowly turned around and came back toward him.As he approached, he spoke.“You know, Darlington, I've always wanted this family to remain at the top. Anything that could bring us down is something I've always tried my possible best to avoid.“That is why you're seeing me following you around and doing everything you've ever
