264. The Order— No One Goes Out or Comes In!
That question echoed heavily in Darlington’s head.His eyes moved from side to side as he desperately searched for a possible answer to what he considered the biggest confusion he had ever encountered.Darlington was still lost in his thoughts when Thai Wong placed a hand on his shoulder and asked,“If the doctor didn’t call you, and the receptionist didn’t call you either, then who could have called you here?”Thai’s touch slightly jolted Darlington back to reality.Hearing the question, Darlington brushed his curly hair back and tensed.“I don’t know, Father. It’s all confusing at this point, and everything is beginning to seem even more unexplained.”“Something has to be wrong. Something has to be…”Darlington suddenly stopped speaking as a thought struck him.His conscience seemed to have finally caught up with something he had overlooked.When he received that call from the unknown caller, there had been several things that didn’t seem right.He instantly recalled the exact words
263. Deceived
While Daren searched for the Location of the CCTV, Darlington and Thai Wong were already nearing the hospital.It hadn't been long since the call with Daren ended when Thai suddenly turned toward his son.“Was that your new driver on the line?” he asked.Darlington nodded, keeping his eyes fixed on the road.“Yeah, he was. He called to inform me that he is at the mansion. I asked him to bring the Video Enhancer to the hospital. You see, by now, we would have already seen the face of that shooter if you had stayed back and waited for Daren to bring the—”“I need to go along with you, Darlington!”Thai Wong quickly cut him off.Darlington glanced at him briefly but said nothing.Thai continued, his voice filled with confidence.“I know that lady, Fiona! She is strict, and when it comes to her anger, you know the one person she actually listens to?”He paused for emphasis.“Obviously, me.”His expression hardened.“She always does everything in her power to make sure she doesn't upset me
262. The Search!
As soon as the call ended, Daren dropped the phone onto the passenger seat and kept his eyes fixed on the gate of the Wong mansion. A scoff escaped his lips as he shook his head.“It is game time!”With that, he started the car engine.Of course, this was one more chance for him to save himself. He had to protect himself from whatever was coming his way, especially now that the family involved was so powerful.According to Daren's instincts, he couldn't afford to go down now. Not when this had everything to do with destroying the very family that had killed his father.If Darlington got to watch that video now, everything would be over.They would discover the truth. They would see his face and realize that he was the one who had shot Fiona. And who knew what they would do to him after that? They could have him arrested, or even worse, order his execution.Daren was afraid of dying. But more than anything, he refused to die before seeing everyone responsible for his father's death pay
261. It's Game Time!
Following his words, Thai Wong knew exactly how dangerous Fiona's plan could be. If she managed to get in front of the cameras, there would be no way to control what she said or how much damage her words could cause.Thai raised his head and looked directly at Darlitongton.“You heard that Fiona is awake, and you know she is threatening to go straight to the media, yet you're still standing here?”Darlitongton remained silent.“You know very well why Fiona wants to speak to the press!” Thai continued, his voice growing more intense. “You and I both know that her intentions are not good. And if we're not mistaken, the only reason she is so desperate to get in front of those cameras is because she wants to tell them everything!”Thai stepped closer.“She wants to expose everything she knows about you! Everything, Darlington! Including the fact that you supposedly pulled the trigger and shot her!”Darlington eyes widened.“What?”His voice immediately rose.“You know that's a lie! I neve
260. Their Motive
CHAPTER 252Darlington remained silent, still trying to process the shocking news he had just received over the phone.Thai Wong immediately got to his feet, his curiosity getting the better of him as he wondered what exactly his son had overheard. He stared at Darlington, waiting for an explanation.But Darlington didn't say a word.Meanwhile, determined to maintain her professionalism, Ivy continued speaking in the fake accent she had been using.“Hi, Mr. Wong. Are you still there with us? Can you hear what we are saying?”Darlington nodded absentmindedly.“Yeah, yeah…”“So, Mr. Wong,” Ivy continued, “what do you suggest we do? Should we provide her with the press media as she is not willing to cooperate or even listen to any of us unless we give her the opportunity to go out there and meet with the press?”Darlington's expression immediately hardened.As though his entire life depended on it, he shook his head.“Don't allow her to go anywhere. I repeat, KEEP HER LOCKED INSIDE THAT
259. Come Over. ASAP
Asking himself all of these questions, Darlington's jaw tightened.He continued wondering to himself, what is keeping Daren for so long? Why hasn't he entered the mansion yet?He couldn't afford to waste any more time.Without delaying the process any further, Darlington unlocked his phone and dialed Daren's number.The call began ringing.Bzzz... Bzzz...The vibration and ringtone echoed from somewhere else.Outside the Wong estate, a car sat parked roughly two minutes away from the mansion.Daren was inside.But he wasn't driving.The car was completely stationary, its engine switched off, leaving the vehicle sitting silently in the darkness.When his phone began vibrating, Daren reached into his pocket and pulled it out.He glanced at the screen.Darlington.A faint expression crossed his face.He answered the call and immediately put it on speaker.“Hello…”Darlington didn't even allow him to finish.“WHERE ON EARTH ARE YOU?!”His furious voice exploded through the speaker.Daren
