A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Darren didn't respond. Suddenly, just when Bill thought that Darren was playing some tricks again, he heard strange noises coming from outside the door.

Soon after, the footsteps of several people could be heard outside the private room. These footsteps indicated that more people were coming in addition to those who had just broken in.

Bill's facial expression changed and he gave Darren a vicious look.

Seeing Bill's eyes darken, Darren smirked and said, “If I knew that you would treat me this way, I would have made meticulous arrangements for myself too. Bill, tell your men to leave. I won't do anything to you. Besides, all I said is that the KING Group survived the crisis. Did I say that I wouldn't help you?“

The glare that Bill gave Darren after he said that was intense. He was aware that working together with Darren was like asking a tiger for its hide. Before he had agreed to team up with him, he had thought he could control Darren. However, he now realized that Darren was not the type to be controlled. It was too late for him to go back now since he had already chosen to ask him for help.

With a defeated sigh, Bill muttered, “All of you can leave now.“

All the men in the private room quickly left after they heard Bill's order. This time, only Bill and Darren were left in the room.

Once the others had left, Darren shared his thoughts with Bill. “Listen, as far as I've known Louis, he won't just do anything to you unprompted. There must be some reason why he's doing this to you, Bill.“

Doubt clouded Bill's mind as Darren said those words. He didn't remember if he had done anything to Louis before.

Noticing Bill's confusion, Darren reminded, “Jacob's wife is Louis's sister.“

Just like Bill, Darren had no clue why Louis would cause trouble for Bill either, but he still wanted to use him.

Realizing that he could use Louis and Jacob's relationship to his advantage, Darren wanted Bill to think that Jacob was the mastermind behind all this. He knew that Bill would retaliate against him if that was the case.

As Bill thought over what Darren had meant, he didn't say anything.

According to what Darren had just implied, the reason why Louis was causing trouble to Bill was due to him assisting Darren. The enemy of Darren was Jacob, who happened to be Louis's brother-in-law.

But Bill knew one thing for sure. He was secretly supporting Darren's fight against Jacob. But how did Louis find out about it?
