    Chapter 258 Rejecting My Sincerity?


    After hearing my arrangements, Cory nodded and agreed.


    After speaking a few words with me, he left.

    Watching him leave, I took a deep breath. At this point, the fewer people involved, the better.


    Some things, once they became associated with human lives, became much more serious. A slight


    The most direct impact was on the reputation of all thepanies under the Hinton Group.


    This impact, if minor, was tolerable, but if severe, it was enough to bring down arge corporation in an


    instant. I couldn’t afford to take that risk, the Hinton family couldn’t afford it, and Walter certainly


    couldn’t afford it.


    As I was daydreaming, Captain Lucas came in and said to me, “Ms. Conner, there’s someone outside


    to see you.”


    Was there anyone?


    My instinctive thought was Walter, I couldn’t help but ask, “Is it Walter?”


    Captain Lucas shook his head and said, “It’s the president of the Monroe Group.”


    Daniel?


    I was a bit surprised, what was he here for?


    Seeing my hesitation, Captain Lucas looked at me and said, “Do you want to see?”


    I nodded, even though I didn’t know why Daniel wanted to see me. he was here, and it wouldn’t make


    sense not to see him.


    But


    Captain Lucas turned around and left, after which I was taken to the meeting room. After all, my current


    status was only a suspect, not yet to the point of being detained. The police station didn’t intend to give


    me too much trouble either..


    In the meeting room.


    Daniel, dressed in a ck suit and nearly 188 cm tall, was significantly taller than the average person,


    requiring one to unconsciously look up at him.


    He stood by the window, presumably hearing footsteps, he turned his head to look. Seeing me, his thin


    lips lifted in a smile that was almost too handsome, “I’m sorry, I just found out about your situation. Are


    you okay here?”


    Hearing his greeting, I nodded, my gaze still lingering on his long legs.


    Seeing that I had remained silent and was just staring at him, he curved his lips into a faint smile and


    said, “I’ve already recovered, so I don’t need the wheelchair for now.”


    He was exining why he hadn’t used a wheelchair.


    I smiled and said, “Great, but you’re much taller than I imagined.”


    Thad originally guessed that he was tall, but I didn’t expect him to be


    this tall.


    He gave a slight smile, his eyes squinting as he chuckled, “You… don’t


    like tall ones?”


    I quickly shook my head, “No!” But after saying that, I felt that the conversation seemed a bit


    inappropriate. I hurriedly exined, “Height is given by parents, there’s no such thing as liking or


    disliking it. Right, you came to find me because…”


    “Look at you!” He began, pointing to the chair in the meeting room, “Let’s sit down and talk. I just


    recovered, standing for too long is not quite suitable.” Thetter part, of course, was referring to


    himself.


    I nodded, sat down on the chair. There was no one in the room. He and I were not really familiar with


    each other. He suddenly came, I honestly didn’t know what to talk about with him.


    However, thinking about the cooperation in the southern district, I felt a bit down and said, “Mr. Monroe,


    I have to apologize to you. Due to my personal rtionships, the project that was supposed to


    cooperate, with you, the Conner Group may not be able to continue to cooperate with you at the


    moment. Fortunately, the contract has not been signed yet, so it hasn’t caused you any loss. But still,


    thank you.”


    He looked at me, not rushing to speak, but patiently waited for me to finish speaking. His pair of pitch-


    ck eyes stared at me seriously and said, “Did you really kill someone?”


    I was taken aback and quickly shook my head, “No, I didn’t kill the person.”


    He smiled faintly, his expression gentle as he said, “If it’s not the case, then why cancel the


    cooperation? It’s just a matter of time. The police from the maind can’t be that stupid, unable to find


    a murderer and randomly framing you, right?”


    I hadn’t expected him to speak so bluntly, especially here. You should know there are cameras in the


    meeting room. Surely, someone must have been watching us at that moment.


    Taken aback by his words, I forced a dry smile and said, “Thank you for your trust in me, I’m truly


    happy. But things are quiteplicated nów, the Conner Group can’t withstand such repeated


    incidents.


    Therefore, I’m worried that the Conner Group might not be able to wait until the day the police find the


    real culprit. Even if I get out, I’m afraid the Conner Group won’t have the strength to cooperate with you


    and take over the project.”


    Looking at me, his expression was faint, calmly saying, “So, you are rejecting my sincerity.”
