Chapter 1233 Proven Innocent

Daphne didn’t have other friends or other relatives. Yet, this person appeared out of nowhere and kept claiming he was getting something for Daphne. He looked very suspicious indeed.

“If you don’t come clean, I’m calling the police. Also, this is Paradigm, my turf. As soon as I say the word, you won’t even be able to leave.” Sonia stared intently at the man in black. If he dared do anything reckless, she was ready to do something about it.

Even though she was just a feeble woman, many people were with her. If they attacked all at once, they could easily overpower the man.

Sonia wasn’t the only one on guard. Lina and the others were also prepared to fight, and some of them had even taken out their phones, ready to call the police at any moment.

“I’m not Daphne’s friend, nor am I her relative.” Just then, the man in black finally spoke up. He turned around to face Sonia. Before this, the man in black had kept his head slightly lowered, so Sonia couldn’t see his face in full.

Now that she could see him clearly, she was stunned. Weird, she thought. I think I’ve seen him before. She could feel a sense of familiarity with this man.

Was it just her? Sonia pursed her red lips and scoured through her memories, but she still couldn’t figure out where she had seen this person before.

Exasperated, she could only suppress the doubt in her heart as she stared at the man and asked, “Since you’re not her friend or her relative, who exactly are you? Also, how did you get up here?”

That was the key question. Whenever a stranger came to the company, the receptionist would ask about their purpose of visiting, and the visitor would be allowed passage only after a clear answer was given.

Of course, this permission was not granted by the receptionist alone. A call would have to be made to the department or person whom the visitor wished to visit, and passage would only be given after the other party agreed. Simply speaking, permission wasn’t freely given.

What reason did the man provide to the receptionist for her to let him in? Who did the receptionist contact, and who gave the receptionist the green light to let the man up here?

At that thought, Sonia turned to look at Lina and gave her a look. Lina nodded in understanding, then took out her phone to contact the receptionist to ask about the entire process.

At the same time, she glared viciously at the man in black. “Even if you say so, who knows if you’re just getting us to let down our guard? Although Daphne has resigned, her things are still here.
