Chapter 878 A Dirty Deal (1/2)

David believed that the matter had been smoothly settled, but what he didn't know was that it wasn't as simple as he had initially thought.

In a bar along the busy street, a man in a wheelchair was sitting inside the VIP room and looking out through the translucent glass at the blinking lights and orgiastic people on the main floor. The double sound-proof glass of the room successfully muffled the noise from the revelers outside. As a bonus, the semi-transparent window enabled him to see the silhouettes of the people outside the room, who were all dancing wildly, but they couldn't see him clearly.

After a few minutes, the door of the suite opened and a beautiful woman entered. Her appearance was funky, lanky, and sultry. She was dressed in sexy clothes and a black cap, an outfit which perfectly flaunted her curvaceous and slender shape.

”Mr. Xu, it has been a long time since we last met. I was honored to receive your invitation. Uh, I am wondering why you chose to meet at this place though. You don't really strike me as someone who frequents this type of establishment,” the woman said in a practiced husky voice. She closed the door behind her and took off the cap with natural grace, allowing her shoulder-length hair to fall loose.

”Yes, it's been quite a while. Miss Li, how are you? I think this venue suits the needs of our meeting quite well,” Darren said. He smiled at Dina as he gently swirled the wine in the glass in his hand.

”Mr. Xu, thank you for your concern. I am quite well. It's flattering that you still remembered me after our brief exchange last time,” Dina replied with fake modesty. She seated herself after their greetings and crossed her long legs. Her six-inch stiletto heels glittered in the ambient lighting.

Actually, Dina had met Darren only once before at a fashion show. According to her recollection, she had been invited to attend a fashion show which was held in F Country and Darren had also attended this show as a VIP guest of the Xu Group.

After the show, she was introduced to Darren by her boss, but they had only briefly exchanged pleasantries at that time.

”Well, let's get down to business now. I invited you here to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for mentioning that useful information to me,” Darren said seriously. He took a sip of wine and then put the glass back on the table. The quietness inside the room was a sharp contrast to the noisy, cavorting atmosphere outside.

Looking at him sitting silently in the wheelchair, Dina felt it strange that Darren, who seemed quite gentle and quiet, had wanted to meet her at this noisy place.

Darren felt that he was like a lonely spectator, a voyeur, not belonging to the noisy world outside.

Dina grinned and ran her hand through her silky hair. ”You are welcome, Mr. Xu. It's really nothing special, hardly worth a mention. I didn't even mean to say anything. It was just a slip of the tongue. I really had no idea that it helped you,” Dina said with a devious glint in her eyes.

She knew that Emily and Rita were best friends. If she couldn't defeat Emily, who enjoyed the unassailable protection of Jacob, then she would get to Emily's best friend as an object for her vengeance. Dina thought it was a good idea to take an indirect path to revenge by targeting Emily's closest friend. In that way, she could vicariously hurt Emily.

”I always settle my debts, and I don't like to be owed. Tell me, how do you want me to thank you? Name your price, I'll satisfy you!” Darren offered. He knew that Dina had shared the information with him having a certain purpose in mind. Dina was a very shrewd woman and never offered her help for free.

Dina had hinted obviously to Darren that Nora had been having an affair with David. Was it really just a slip of the tongue? Darren was not so gullible. He didn't know why Dina had chosen to inform him, but he guessed that she would certainly reap some benefit from the chaos that had followed as a result.

Darren was momentarily lost in thought. He was very handsome under the colorful backlights, which fired her desires. She rose with a feline grace and walked over to Darren, looking at
