A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Bonnie was on her knees, begging Harlan to get Darren out of prison. Her eyes had dark circles under them from lack of sleep. She had been so restless last night, since all she could think of was the scene of Darren being taken away.

Harlan couldn't bear to see her like this and said, “I don't think it's a good idea if you come with us. You should just go back home and rest. Mr. Xu would only get worried if he saw you like this.“

Bonnie shook her head and tried her best to smile. “I'm fine. I'm just worried about Darren. I'm sure being in prison must be hard for him since he's used to a life of luxury. Also, being taken away like that must've made him feel horrible.“

“I know you're just looking out for Mr. Xu. However, even if you come to the police station with us, there's nothing you can do to help.“

Bonnie's smile quickly faded away when she heard Harlan's words. “I just want to see him with my own eyes. That's the only way I'll be able to survive for the next couple of days.

Please, I'm begging you. Take me with you.“ With her big, round eyes pleadingly staring at him, Harlan started to feel guilty. To make matters worse, she suddenly put her palms together and bowed down in front of him.

Yesterday, she had almost lost her mind trying to stop the police from taking Darren away. Since it was such an abrupt event, her actions could be justified. But today, she was completely different. She was completely calm and it seemed like she had thought her actions through. In her mind, she was sure she wasn't going to cause any more trouble.

Despite seeing the drastic change in her, Harlan was still a little hesitant. When Bonnie saw him act this way, she gritted her teeth, stomped her feet on the ground, and made up her mind to threaten him. “If you don't take me there today, I'll tell Darren that you bullied me while he was away!“

“Oh my God! Are you seriously going to do that?“ Harlan replied with an annoyed expression on his face. After working so many years for Darren, he had a rough idea of what to do in these kinds of situations.

He knew that Darren wouldn't want Bonnie to see him in such a horrible state. This line of thinking seemed quite reasonable. After all, no one really wanted to show their embarrassing side to the person they liked.

With that said, the girl in front of him was threatening to ruin his whole life's work. As a result, Harlan didn't know what to do since he felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Harlan's silence irritated Bonnie even more. She winked at him, indicating that she wasn't playing around. In her mind, this was the only way she could get him to agree. The guilt of her actions was outweighed by the fact that she wanted to see her loved one so much. She looked away to avoid Harlan's aggrieved face and said, “Anyway, I've said what I needed to. Your future of being Darren's right-hand man is in your hands.“

Despite Bonnie's actions, she was merely bluffing. Ruining someone's career over a disagreement wasn't something she was willing to do.
