Chapter 933 A New Trick (1/2)
Rita didn't return to the Xu Manor and Ariel became deeply worried about her. Moreover, she wanted to finish her task here as soon as possible. So she couldn't wait anymore and frequently returned to the Xu Manor.
Ariel still doubted Darren's remarks. Her attempts to contact Agni had been in vain, as he seemed to have vanished into thin air. She couldn't help but begin to worry about his safety too.
”Ding!”
Suddenly, her phone beeped and a new message popped up. She lowered her head and studied the screen. It showed a familiar address and a special mark. Ariel instantly recognized the mark because it was the secret signal between her and Agni. Her dark eyes frowned as her concern deepened.
She looked carefully at the address and recalled that it was the address of one of Darren's many properties abroad. Did Darren have something to do with Agni's disappearance?
After the many strange things that had happened, Ariel had gradually begun to take a rather skeptical attitude toward Darren. Obviously, this message was a distress signal from Agni. So, although she would expose herself if she left now, she had to go and rescue Agni.
Ariel soon made up her mind. She immediately left the Xu Manor and disappeared abroad. It would be hard to track her given her superior training at evasion and other tricks of the spy trade.
At Starry Night Entertainment Club. Darren was holding an expensive, top-grade cigarette between his forefinger and middle finger. He lit it, and the pale smoke which billowed from his nostrils like a dragon's fire gradually obscured his face and concealed his expression. He seemed to be ever the elegant nobleman.
Darren's handsome face and elegance charmed Dina, and in response, she leaned over him with an ingratiating smile and planted a red-lipped kiss on his thin lips.
”Darren, when can I start acting in a film or a TV show again? Last time, I dissed Emily openly but she just ignored me. My actions have done little to improve my career prospects. What's worse, Ray's team has also banned me from taking part in activities in showbiz now. I am in real trouble now.”
Dina puckered her mouth up in discontent, like a needy child complaining about being bullied at school.
After having had so much contact with Darren over these past days, she had found that he was not a powerless dandy; instead, he was utterly unpredictable and dangerous. He was so powerful that she could easily regain her high status in showbiz, if he gave her his backing. And therein lay the problem.
Unfortunately, this man didn't show any intention of helping her. He ignored her anxiety and did nothing to assist her in pursuing her acting career again. Although she was well-dressed and attractive, she still lived in the shadows of her bad reputation. Dina was at his mercy, and he seemed almost unwilling to lift her back up onto the silver pedestal where she was accustomed to being.
”Take it easy,” he said soothingly.
