The three sides of the interrogation room were made of dark grey glass. People outside would have a clear view of everything inside.

Darren was standing outside the glass door. His shiny leather shoes looked spotless, and his dark eyes narrowed at the dazzling emerald ring he held between his slender fingers. His fingertips rubbed against the initials carved on the inner wall of the ring he looked dangerous.

The coffee in Jane’s hands had turned cold. He cautiously handed it to Darren again. “Boss, we found the woman. Well bring her in for interrogation right away. I’ll make sure she confesses everything.”

Darren nodded and looked at the interrogation room.

The shop manager was brought in. She was no longer arrogant and domineering as before. She looked around and found men clad in suits staring at her.

“Where did you get this ring?” James pounded the table. He sounded just like a fierce detective.

The shop manager rubbed her hands nervously. Judging from their clothes and

    The bar looked dim except for the occasional neon lights that flashed from time to time. The loud music vibrated through the floor. Seeing Darren walking into the bar, Micheal quickly drove away the beautiful women clinging to him and straightened his clothes. After hearing why Darren was here today, Micheal burst out laughing. “I can’t believe you’d come to me one day for such a thing.” Darren slowly picked up the glass. The dim lights softened his features, making him look more handsome. He leaned against the sofa, stretching out his long legs. “Mind your tongues. Unless you don’t want to have weekends this month.” Micheal cleared his throat and swallowed the rest of his words. He picked a glass of wine and sat beside Darren. “Do you want me to be single all my life? My eighteenth girlfriend is waiting for me to take her on a date this weekend.” “Didn’t you say that your seventeenth girlfriend was pregnant? Don’t you want to get married?” Darren frowned and took a sip of the w

    There was a woman nestled in Micheal’s arms. He squinted sleepily and spoke in a voice that didn’t sound completely sober. “You can’t do this to me. It’s seven o’clock in the morning. Even servants should have time to rest.” “I’m not joking. Hurry up and find a way to help me. I can’t sleep until this problem is solved.” As he spoke, Darren sullenly stared at the scenery framed by the window. “Okay, okay. Just give me a minute, will you?” Micheal struggled to climb out of bed and lumbered to the bathroom to splash his face with cold water. Then, when he was fully awake, he returned and said “buddy, I can tell from just a glance that your wife’s a little tricky. I’ve seen her a couple of times. She looked gentle and easy going, but I could never tell what was on her mind.” Darren sneered with disdain. “Don’t talk about her like that. Do you want to die Micheal?” Micheal smiled sheepishly. “Well anyways, my point is since money does not work, then you need to change tactics. Try woo

    Caught in the Act. “Why don’t you just break up with her?” The woman asked in a seductive voice. She was completely naked and riding a naked man. “Please, just stop mentioning her name while we are fucking” The man was so lost in pleasure, he did not need any distractions. The man was so excited, he squeezed the woman’s breast making her moan in pleasure, he was in a world filled with delight and extreme pleasure at the moment. The woman seemed dissatisfied as she didn’t get the answer she needed from the man. “No way, I wonder why you are still hooked on her? She’s just an adoptive daughter, Even the maids hold an important role in our house, what’s so good about her?” The man didn’t say anything. He gripped the woman’s waist and thrust harder, which made her scream and moan his name. Mia Thompson stood in front of the door listening to everything inside the room. Her tired eyes turned cold as she listened to the conversions. She had just returned from the orphanage home, whe

    “Okay, I will Marry him.”Lydia was extremely happy, when those words slipped through Mia’s lips, she never wanted her daughter to marry the illegitimate son of the Edward’s Family, but her Husband was so hell bent on fulfilling his promise to Edward family because he had his so-called prestige to keep.

    All eyes were on him, he seemed to exude an effortless charm. Eva’s eyes lit up, she guessed the handsome man, she guessed the handsome man would be somehow related to Darren. The Edward’s family were one of the most powerful families in the city. After all Darren was an illegitimate son. Eva felt that Darren would never be able to meet up with the nobles of the Edward’s family. The man before her looked so charming and regal so she thought he most certainly had a connection to the Edward’s family, he might even be the legal heir of the family. She totally forgot about the man she came to the wedding with, immediately she sets her eyes on Darren. His good looks and charms both excited her and surprised her. She thought Mark was a handsome man but compared with the man in front of her, Mark undeniably became the button of the barrel type. Eva walked forward and greeted the man “ Are you Darren’s brother or relative?” Merely looking him in the eyes, made her blush. She felt, if s

    Seeing the frown on Mia’s face, Darren followed her gaze and saw his watch. Moments later he realised what she was thinking. “ this is a fake, I got it from a friend” he whispered beside her ears “but I usually wear it to look cool , I didn’t expect you would notice it”Darren removed the watch and put it inside his pocket. “It looks real tho” Mia smiled and stepped back covering her flaming ears. Darren was leaning closer and she could feel his breath blowing in her ear as he spoke. As Mia thought about it she realised it’s normal for Darren to have a street friend who sells fake things. She breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment Mia had freaked out, thinking Darren had done something illegal to make money. She knew nothing about the man she was getting married to, except he was a poor man who was jobless. Darren knitted his brows. He had heard the daughter of the Thompson family had several boyfriends and hung out with different men all the time. The girl before him shyness s

    “You better take your bath first, I can wait” Mia subconsciously took some steps back as if trying to protect herself from an enemy. She looked like a trapped little bird, struggling hard to hide her panic. Darren stood upright and looked at Janet She looked like a deer caught in a headlight. Darren looked at her and chuckled “don’t be a nervous kitten, I won’t eat you also I need to discuss something with you.” Mia crossed her hands over her chest and hesitantly walked over to him, she didn’t want to be associated with this man in any way. Everything was happening too fast, she was married to a man she just met at the wedding. She wondered what would be of her now that she was married? she didn’t know anything about marriage, she never had a Mother or Father that would teach her those aspects. These were the reasons she needed to find her family, she always wanted a parental relationship but she got none.She was determined to find her parents and she always prayed deep down th

    Mia was startled, “if I’m not Eva Thompson who else can I be? It’s such a lame question” she said jokingly Mia had married Darren as Eva Thompson, if she messed up the plan Lydia would not give her the money she needed to pay the private investigator who would help her look for her parents. So she had to pretend to be her little sister Eva, once she got the money from the Thompson she would still keep her end of the deal because on No situation could Darren ever find out she’s not Eva but the adoptive daughter. Darren still had a frown placed on his face. The situation looked confusing. He wondered if Mia could be pretending to be nice at first and later show her true colours, but he also knew when a person was pretending to be nice and he most definitely knew Mia was not pretending but he knew something was not right here also. “It was a casual question, just forget about it.” Darren picked up his suit jacket and stepped back “I have finished saying what I want to say. Do you have

    Mia’s words completely wiped the smug smile off of the shop manager's face. She quickly tried to calm down and said feebly, “I offered you that price yesterday. I don’t want to buy it anymore.” After all, the counterfeit wasn’t worth much. If she bought it at such an extravagant price, she’d be crazy. Smiling sardonically, Mia continued, “you wanted it so bad yesterday. The surveillance footage can prove it. Why don’t you want it now? Is it because you know that this one’s a fake and isn’t with a million?” The shop manager faltered, “uhm, well… I thought the ring was an antique. I had seen something similar in a jewellery magazine before. But when you left the ring here for resizing, I looked at it carefully, and I realised that it wasn’t the same one as in the magazine. It just looked similar. So I don’t want it anymore.” After saying that, she took a deep breath and regained her composure.”Miss, please go now. We have a business to run. Please escort this lady out.” But her

    Without waiting for a response, Mia strides out. As he watched her leave, Darren frowned. He felt depressed. Sighing heavily, he quickly picked up his jacket and rushed out to follow her. It was late June now, and it was extremely hot in the afternoon. As he followed Mia from a distance. Darren stared at her long hair fluttering in the wind. Where on earth was she headed? Darren had no clue. Judging from the woman’s hurt tone just now, he could tell that there was more to the story. Moreover, he would’ve been able to tell if she was lying. Darren quickened his pace and collected the woman closely. As they walked, he couldn’t help but feel bad. Did he wrongfully accuse Mia?” After passing Two streets and traffic lights, Mia finally veered off the sidewalk and entered a second hand shop. Darren followed her silently. “I want to see your shop manager!” Mia slapped the ring hard on the counter. Her beautiful face was ice cold and sullen. When she wasn’t smiling, she always loo

    Mia was startled and confused. With the bottle of water in her other hand, she took a sip nonchalantly and shook her head. “No. It’s right there on my finger! Or are you blind?” She looked at him playfully. Darren on the other hand was in no mood to joke. His expression darkened and his voice lowered. “Let me see.” Unlike Mia, he was very familiar with the ring. He knew something was wrong with it at just a glance. As she took off the ring, Mia muttered to herself, “weird”. Darren pressed his fingers against his temple and pucker up the ring to have a closer look. His expression grew even more serious. “The back of the ring I have you is engraved with my mother’s initials, but this ring has no such engravings.” Darren knew she was short on money, but he didn’t expect her to sell the ring just like that. He wouldn’t have minded if it were any other ring, but this ring in particular was left by his mother. “Is this a fake?” Mias eyes went wide in shock. She took the ring b

    Trying to seem casual, Mia asked calmly, “ how much?” Glancing at the other people in the shop, the shop manager leaned closer and whispered in Mia’s ear, “ one million. What do you think?” This amount was more than Enough to cover the investigators payment. Mia was stunned. She looked carefully at the ring in her finger. The emerald best kr in the middle was like a pea that was just freed from its pod. The little gem was round and slightly cold, but its deep green colour was dazzling. She couldn’t believe that the ring Darren had given her was that valuable. “Sorry, this is my wedding ring. I can’t sell it.” Despite the tempting offer, Mia couldn’t give in. It was a gift from Darren after all, and it was left by his mother. Perhaps it was a family heirloom. Whatever the case, she couldn’t sell the ring. After refusing the shop manager, she turned around to leave. But the shop manager stopped her again. With a big smile plastered on her face, she said, “ No rush, miss. It’s ok

    “It’s no big deal. My parents owe me a lot of money. After I fell out with them, they refused to pay me back. It’s a family matter. I can handle it. There’s no need for you to get involved.” Miss tone was relaxed even though she deliberately omitted the most important part. Darren glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and sighed. It was true that he didn’t know that much about the Thompson family, but since Mia was being stubborn about it, he respected her decision. “Fine. But if you need any help, just tell me.” Mia nodded obediently and lowered her gaze. “Okay,” she said softly. Darren pinched her cheek and warned in a low voice, “ and from now on, you have to tell others that you’re married.” “Okay, okay, okay. Do you want me to wear a sign with the word ‘married’ on it?” Mus raised her head and glared at him, pouring like a spoiled child. “It’s for your own good. It’s obvious that David had ulterior motives. Trust me. His intentions were written all over his face.” As

    The people around them felt there was an inside story, and opinions gradually changed. The opulent restaurant housed wealthy diners. Many people could tell that Eva’s attire and accessories were all real deals from renowned brands by merely looking at her. “Well, it looks like she is the shameless one. She wears only luxury brands. I'm sure she is from a wealthy family.” “I guess she is slandering the girl only to avoid paying the debt.” “Damn it! I didn’t expect the situation would reverse.” Eva felt a pang of regret. But she opened the wallet anyway that was stacked with money. “”Give it to me.” With a faint smile, Mia stood up and took out the money from Eva’s wallet. She carefully counted the bills and neatly arranged them. “Ten thousand dollars is also money. Thank you Miss Thompson.” Eva had nothing left now apart from her clothes and shoes. “ just wait and see!” She said through gritted teeth. Mia smiles and puts the necklace and the money into the Hermes birkin. “Okay
