Fiona used both kind words and firm actions.First, she used Johnson as an example to intimidate the others. When these people were panicked, fearing the possibility of prison. She offered them a way out by encouraging these people to actively return the stolen property.Wyatt looked on, wishing he could stand up and applaud Fiona.Amid the chaotic uproar.They retrieved the company’s millions.Fiona looked at them, and the rest of the people dared not make a sound as they looked at her.Most of these people were repaying the amounts listed by Johnson.However…Even blood brothers sometimes need to hide things.How could Johnson be familiar with everyone’s situation?Fiona remained silent for a while.She lifted her gaze and scanned the crowd, "Everyone, are you all certain about the amount of this money?"In the crowd, it was apparent that some of the people gathered were feeling restless, looking suspicious.Those who hadn't lied responded loudly.Fiona toyed with the neutral pen in
Regardless of Wyatt's intentions.Fiona was grateful.Over the years, no matter how well she did her job, she couldn't escape being perceived merely as Darwin's secretary.There were always people who attributed her accomplishments to Darwin.This was one of the few instances where someone stood up for her.Wyatt was in a good mood as well.Finally, he saw a genuine smile on Fiona's face.Even the cafeteria food tasted delicious.After having lunch, Fiona was about to return to the city."Most of the matters have been resolved. You'll have to take care of the follow-up work, Mr. Durham." Fiona resumed her distant, business-like demeanor."Are you going straight back to Bay City?" Wyatt asked."I have an evening flight." Fiona replied.Wyatt smiled.There was an inexplicable feeling of constriction in his heart.Why was she in such a rush to return to Bay City? Who would she meet once she got back?"Secretary Woods, I hope you took to heart the advice I gave you yesterday." Wyatt couldn
Sally was happily drinking her wine.Fiona didn’t say much.She transferred a sum of money and asked her to take good care of the people who helped her.After finishing up, Fiona slowly packed up her things.While tidying up the clothes she wore yesterday, a diamond cufflink fell out.Fiona was stunned for a moment. She reached out and picked it up. She had seen this cufflink last year when she was shopping in a designer store in Switzerland with Darwin on a business trip. She really liked it and immediately bought it with two months' salary.Looking back, it seemed ridiculous. She was well aware of her position. Even giving gifts felt presumptuous. This cufflink was worn by Darwin when he stayed overnight at her place after they returned. The next day, she discreetly attached it to his suit sleeve."I'll take you with me too."Fiona tightened her grip on the cufflink in her palm.Its sharp edges made her hand tingle.After packing her things, Fiona checked out and went to the hotel r
At that moment, the kidnapper's phone rang. He glanced at the rearview mirror, smiled maliciously, lit a cigarette, answered the call, and put it on speakerphone."Why is it taking so long? Where are you?"An impatient male voice came from the other end.“We still have twenty minutes. The little bitch discovered us, just dealt with her.”"Did you sleep with her?" the other party shouted.“How could I? Mack hasn’t made a move, how could I dare?”Fiona listened to the disgusting and vulgar words. She lowered her eyelids, suppressing her disgust. Her hand slowly reached into her handbag at the side. Ashton had heard before that she was traveling alone, especially to a remote place like New Port. She was worried, so she had Fiona pack a self-defense electric shocker in her bag."This foolish woman was planning to call the police just now," the kidnapper continued.“She probably isn’t aware of the relationship between Mack and the local police chief.”Fiona's heart sank. Through the rearvi
Fiona was prepared to go down with at least one car.But!!!!She never expected!!This car had a high safety rating.It even had automatic braking and automatic emergency braking and active collision avoidance featuresFinally.After a few more turns on the road, her car also crashed into the green divider.With a loud bang.The world spun around, and a pungent smell filled Fiona’s throat. Apart from the buzzing in her ears, she couldn't hear anything else. Lost in a daze, she looked through the shattered windshield, which now resembled a spider's web, and saw several figures getting out of their cars one by one. Leading the way was a chubby man, carrying a steel pipe as he approached her.Fiona raised her hand and manually locked the car once again. She had no idea whether her luck was good or bad. The doctor had said she had difficulty conceiving, yet she ended up getting pregnant after a brief moment without protection. Chased by kidnappers, she had prepared herself for death, but
"Harold..."Fiona called him.Harold looked at her, then lowered his eyelids. "Does Darwin know?""This child is mine, he doesn't need to know." Fiona paused for a moment, "Her life is also saved by you. You have to keep it a secret for us. If Darwin finds out, he will kill her."Harold was taken aback.He looked up in shock and anger. “Is he still human?”"Don't get so worked up." Fiona comforted him.Harold’s eyes turned red, filled with heartache. “Fiona”…""Don't be like this, I'm fine." Fiona smiled and said, "By the way, I was just thinking, since you saved my baby’s life, how about being her godfather in the future?"Harold froze.God… godfather?"Let's... let's talk about it later." Harold felt a bit guilty.“Alright.” Fiona lay down.Today has been exhausting for her, both physically and mentally."Don't think about anything, just get a good rest." Harold said by her side, "Fiona, you're not alone, I'll be with you."Fiona’s nose felt a bit stuffy.Her grandmother, in her las
Two million.What is this for?She couldn't be bothered to think carefully, afraid of making herself sick. Just consider it compensation for last night's injuries sustained in the accident."Feeling better?" Harold asked, handing Fiona a bowl of millet porridge.Fiona put away her phone and nodded, “Slept well, feeling full of energy again!”"But her face remained somewhat pale. "You have to take the medicine and supplements the doctor prescribed," Harold said, sounding like an old father. "I will," Fiona replied casually after finishing her porridge.After the doctor confirmed that she was fine, he gave her some advice before she was allowed to leave the hospital.Harold accompanied her to make a statement.While they were signing the papers, Fiona received a call from an unfamiliar number.She hesitated for a moment but decided to answer it."Fiona, where have you been?" It was Bella.Fiona remained silent."Miss Robbins, having trouble at work?" Fiona asked."Are you doing this on
Darwin froze for a moment.“What nonsense are you talking about?”He slammed the table hard. Jackie trembled and then confirmed that Darwin really didn't know. But he's Secretary Woods' confidant, isn't he? How could he not know? During that period, Secretary Woods lost a lot of weight..."Yes, I remember now. You were in Europe for half a month."Darwin was already in chaos.“Jackie, I’m not in the mood for jokes!”"I also wish I were joking, but... Secretary Woods personally told me that she needed time off to bury her relative!"“It’s impossible!”Darwin stood up and shouted. But the next second, he suddenly remembered Fiona's status update from the end of April. The grayish tone. Unconcealed sorrow."Call Fiona!" Darwin said in a deep voice.Jackie nodded and quickly took out his phone. The call was dialed, but the cold mechanical voice greeted them again."The number you have dialed is currently switched off..."“It’s switched off.” Jackie looked at Darwin with fear."Find out he
