Chapter 935 The Truth (1/2)
Dina looked at Darren with large puppy eyes and her voice was affectedly sweet. If Darren were an ordinary man, he would have been easily charmed by Dina, and perhaps even have instantly lost his senses. But Darren was not like most men, and he remained unmoved by her charade.
”Darren, are you still angry with me?” she asked in a wheedling manner.
Dina humbled herself, hoping that Darren would show some sign of tenderness towards her. She stared tentatively at him, and carefully watched every detail of his expression and any actions which might follow. This was a game of cat and mouse, and mistakes would be costly to her.
”Don't do that ever again. Not everyone is as easily persuaded as Mr. Li,” he said in a warning voice.
Darren furrowed his brows and became cranky because of Dina repeatedly trying to touch him. Paying her no further heed, he stared off through the window at the distant skyscraper in which the Bai Company was headquartered. A malicious expression haunted his bitter eyes.
”I see,” she said obediently.
Despite her unwillingness and grievance at having been treated so badly, Dina merely nodded in obedience. Darren was her only backer, so it made no sense to annoy him. She had discovered from the conversation between Darren and Mr. Li that becoming a player of Billion Star Entertainment Group Limited was now her only hope to regain her former glory in showbiz.
So, no matter what Darren had done to her and would still do to her, Dina could only grin and bear it. After all, he was a handsome man and it was certainly better to be his woman than having to sleep with other disgusting men…
At the Xu Manor. On the day that Ariel left the Xu Manor, David and Jacob immediately received the news of her disappearance. Meanwhile, Ariel rushed to the headquarters of the Xu Clan as quickly as she could. She followed the directions given by Agni and arrived at Darren's villa.
There were lots of guards stationed in the headquarters of the Xu Clan, but Darren's villa was only loosely guarded. When Mr. Xu had discovered that Darren had returned to Z Country, he had asked his men to search for Darren. The guards assigned to guard the villa had all been sent off to China to look for Darren.
Hence, Ariel easily entered Darren's villa unnoticed. She went up to the third floor. She had planned her actions carefully, and the first thing that she intended to do was to rescue Agni, while the second was to check up on Darren. She needed more information about him if she hoped to discover the truth about her life.
According to her prior investigations, Darren's study was located on the third floor, but he seldom worked there. In consideration of that, and after destroying the surveillance cameras, Ariel gave up the idea of searching Darren's study. But then, just as she was about to move on, she saw a familiar mark on the door handle of the study. It was the same as the mark in the message from Agni.
