Chapter 1530 A Scapegoat


    As Han drove the car, he nced at the rearview mirror only to find Darren frowning tightly. He had


    his brows furrowed in an annoyed way, like he was going to re up at any moment. The inside of the


    vehicle gave off a heavy and gloomy atmosphere that could be felt by both of them.


    Han had forced Darren toe with him, so he had already expected his impatience at the moment.


    In order to not make him angrier than he already was, Han only threw sideways nces at him,


    watching him carefully.


    The car drove steadily for a while. Han watched as Darren''s expression softened a little, his brows


    no longer furrowed. Rxing a little bit, he closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the seat.


    He looked tired. There were dark circles around his eyes, and his chin was covered with a light stubble.


    Darren had always lived a humble life, but it was still difficult for Han to see him struggle like this.


    To get rid of the awkward ambiance inside the car, Han decided to break the silence. He cleared his


    throat and asked, “You haven''t had a good rest these two days, have you?“ He took a quick nce at


    Darren through the rearview mirror, concern flooding his eyes.


    He added, “I prepared nutritious food for you, so you can have it when you go back. You need a good


    rest for a few days, too. So please, have as much rest as you can while we talk about some things for


    now.“


    Darren only looked back at him through the rearview mirror as a response but didn''t say anything else.


    He was still mad and chose not to talk to Han as long as he could resist it.


    Sitting still at home was unbearable. He was resting physically but his mind was elsewhere, constantly


    thinking about the issue at thepany and the important matter rted to Bonnie. Eventually, he


    grew tired of pretending to rest and rushed to thepany to finally deal with the problems.


    As soon as he stepped foot into thepany building, a sudden gush of familiarity coursed through


    him, and he wasn''t sure whether or not he liked it.


    He scanned the floor and immediately saw several female receptionists gather and gossip with each


    other, as if they were watching a good show.


    He continued to watch them as well and heard one of them say, with just a tad amount of jealousy in


    her voice, “I don''t understand what Mr. Xu was thinking. He''s a man ofpetence and he could get


    any woman he wants. He did everything he could to build thepany from the ground up, but


    unfortunately, he was blinded by that woman''s words!“


    The others, who were listening intently, chuckled.


    A voice as cold as hell called, “What are you talking about?!“ Darren''s voice echoed as silence


    enveloped the room and all heads turned to him.


    Recognizing him, each of them was suddenly struck by terror. Everyone braced themselves for the


    disaster that was bound toe. All of their faces went white and none of them could do anything


    other than lower their heads in embarrassment. Even though their hearts were beating fast as they


    panicked, no one dared to say anything.


    He scanned the floor once again, and then he stopped at the group of people he heard talking about


    him. With the coldest voice they''d ever heard, he said, “How dare you! You''re brave enough to gossip


    about me?!“


    At the thought of Bonnie, who had turned herself in to save him not only from jail but also from the


    embarrassment andplete destruction, he felt as if his heart was burning with fire and rage.


    He tried so hard topose himself but he was failing. So before things could get worse, he roared


    angrily, “Get out of here!“


    He sighed, remembering how important Bonnie was to him.


    After the crowd dissipated, he strode back to his office. His eyes darkened as he thought of them


    speaking ill of Bonnie, so he immediately called Han in and asked him to find a way to save her.


    Then, grabbing his cellphone, he contacted William Yang, awyer who specialized in such cases. He


    wasn''t sure William could win, but he was willing to trust him if it meant saving Bonnie.

    Even though everyone in thepany seemed to be against it and he was in a financial struggle at the


    moment, paying William a good amount was no problem to him at all.


    He made an appointment with William as soon as they finished talking on the phone. They met in a


    teahouse, sitting across each other. Darren watched as William read the materials handed over to him


    carefully, page by page, so he wouldn''t miss out on anything.


    Darren''s deep eyes never left thewyer. He studied his movements carefully, casually taking sips of


    his tea as minutes passed by. He tapped the table rhythmically and, after a while, couldn''t resist asking,


    “What do you think of it? Can you handle it?“


    William looked up from the paper he just finished reading. As if still engrossed with the materials he


    had just gone through, he said seriously, “No problem. Don''t worry, I''ll take care of everything regarding


    Miss Sun!“


    Darren seemed satisfied with his answer because he somehow felt a bit lighter, like something heavy


    was lifted off of his chest. He sighed and thanked William.


    During detainment, a suspect could only meet theirwyer.


    So before William left, Darren told him a few things to ry to Bonnie. He specially reminded him,


    “Remember what I just told you and convey it to her as I said it. Tell her not to worry too much!“


    William nodded respectfully, assuring him that he understood every word. He answered, “Okay, don''t


    worry. I will do what you said!“


    On the way home, William thought about the case and every detail he had just read about it. He


    wanted to win so badly that he prepared for it with all his heart and mind.


    The next morning, as ready as he could be, he took the sorted data and went to the police station.


    Despite his preparedness, he was still a bit nervous. But he tried to push it down his system. Instead,


    he greeted the staff kindly and carefully handed over a pile of evidence and documents to the police for


    them to inspect.


    “Good morning, sir. I''m William Yang, Bonnie Sun''s privatewyer. I am here to take her case and


    prove that she is innocent.


    After a deliberate study of her case, I think someone is behind this whole thing. Here is the information


    I have collected. You can check it carefully!“


    Hearing this, the police offer was skeptical but didn''t say anything. He let William do his job as awyer


    and defend his client. He brought him to the detention center so he could speak with Bonnie.


    Meanwhile, at the detention center, Bonnie could neither eat nor rest well, so she became a lot thinner


    than before.


    Ever since she arrived here, she had been scared and worried most of the time. She wasn''t sure when


    she''d be able to get out or if she would ever get out at all. Every night, she prayed constantly for Darren


    to help her get through this crisis.


    Suddenly, a female police officer called in a low voice, “Bonnie Sun, yourwyer is here. Come with me


    so you can meet him.“


    As soon as she heard the word wyer,“ Bonnie''s dim eyes lit up, full of renewed hope that everything


    would be all right. She almost literally jumped up while her heart beat fast in excitement. It must be


    Darren who had sent someone to speak to her!


    When William saw Bonnie, he was surprised. He almost could not recognize her anymore. He had


    seen her photo from Darren, where she looked young, energetic, and sweet. But now, looking at her


    thinner figure, she was already so different.


    After several days of detention, she was no longer as energetic and spirited as she used to be, and


    now looked tired and emaciated. Her eyes were hollow and her cheekbones were the first noticeable


    thing about her.


    Despite these huge changes and ack of sunshine energy from her, she managed to greet him with a


    big smile and asked excitedly, “Did Darren send you here?“


    Seeing the light shining in her eyes, William Yang also returned a gentle and kind smile. He wanted to


    keep seeing her ted, so he immediately nodded. Bonnie smiled even bigger at his confirmation.


    After a while, he regained his serious expression and replied formally, “Miss Sun, I''m your private


    lawyer. My name is William Yang. I''ll be taking care of your case and I want you to listen carefully.


    The real murderer has been found. As long as you make your confession and tell the police honestly


    that you are innocent, you can be released from prison in a few days!“


    Hearing this, Bonnie''s heart rate raised as she excitedly processed this information. Her eyes welled up


    with tears of joy, and she was still too shocked to even murmur a reply.


    After everything that she had gone through, finally... Darren hade to save her.


    She was very surprised but tried topose herself. She was still in such a state of shock that when


    she talked, her lips trembled. “Mr. Yang, are you serious?“


    William Yang looked her directly in the eyes and repeated what Darren had told him.


    “There is someone else behind this case, and it is rtivelyplicated. After all these days of


    unremitting efforts, we have tracked down the real culprit.


    Besides, he has confessed his crime. You and Mr. Xu are both innocent. Neither of you will be involved.


    You don''t need to worry anymore, Miss Sun,“ he said to her reassuringly.


    Even though she was surprised by thewyer''s words, Bonnie couldn''t help but smile. It was like a


    blooming white orchid, so beautiful, fresh, and fairly innocent. The haze in her heart instantly


    dissipated. And it was all because of Darren. She couldn''t contain her happiness.


    She nodded gratefully, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Thank you so much, Mr. Yang!“


    William felt warmth engulf him as he watched her. He took pity on the kind-hearted girl crying in front of


    him.


    “You''re very much wee, Miss Sun. This is what I do, and I am very happy to have done it for you.


    Don''t you worry now. If there are any updates, I will inform you as soon as possible!“
