A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

After giving Harlan the order, Darren hung up the phone. It was clear that he was exhausted from everything that had happened in the last few hours.

Thankfully, Harlan had always been reliable. As soon as Darren hung up the phone, Harlan quickly went over his contacts and clicked on Emily's number.

It rang only once before it was answered by someone. As soon as Emily put the phone near her ear, she heard Harlan's calm and polite voice.

“Mrs. Gu, how have you been? It's me, Harlan,“ he greeted.

“Hello, Harlan.“ Despite her friendly tone, Emily was quite confused. This was her private number. How had Harlan gotten it? More importantly, who on earth was this Harlan? The name sounded familiar, no doubt. However, she couldn't put her finger on it. 'Harlan? Who is Harlan? The name rings a bell, ' she muttered internally.

Emily couldn't remember where she had heard the name 'Harlan' before. She was curious to find out, which is why she hadn't ended the call yet.

“Mrs. Gu, it doesn't matter who I am. However, I do have something to tell you. It's about what your husband has done to Miss Bonnie Sun.“

The words “your husband“ and “Bonnie Sun“ caught Emily's attention. However, she was still pretty confused about what was going on.

A bad feeling swept over and she quickly asked in a panicked tone, “What is going on between Bonnie and my husband?“ Despite her efforts, Emily couldn't keep her tone calm. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it echoed all over the house. She felt dizzy from all that thoughts that was going through her head.

“Your husband bribed the person who was supposed to turn himself in concerning the sodium poisoning incident. We asked the person to take the place of Bonnie but instead, he double-crossed us because of your husband. As a result, Bonnie couldn't be released and she is still suffering in prison as we speak,“ Harlan explained calmly.

Hearing this, Emily clenched her phone tightly. She knew that Harlan was telling the truth because she had found out about her husband's plan yesterday. At that time, she hadn't thought he would actually go through with it.

It was indeed rather immoral of her husband to purposely put Bonnie in such a situation. Emily was vexed by her husband's actions but she made sure not to show any of her emotions while Harlan was still on the phone with her.

In an attempt to calm herself down, she took a deep breath and casually inquired, “So, what is your intention of calling me?“

She was not stupid. It was clear that Harlan intended to make her upset and he hadn't failed at that. However, Emily didn't want him to figure it out.

Surprised by Emily's question, Harlan opened his mouth but closed it again when nothing came out. He hadn't really expected Emily to sound so apathetic about the situation. However, he knew he had to remain calm in order to reply to her in a casual tone.

After pausing for a moment, Harlan cleared his throat and replied, “I work for Miss Sun. I am just displeased with your husband's behavior. I was hoping you could help me dissuade him. A woman like Miss Sun doesn't deserve to suffer in prison. I'm sure we share the same sentiments on that.“
