“Mr. Xu asked me to come here and tell you to take good care of yourself. Please don't forget that he cares about you very much!“
Bonnie's nose scrunched up while tears started to blur her eyes. Every cell in her body was screaming how much she missed him.
Right before William left, Bonnie uttered some heartfelt words. “Please tell him that I'm doing just fine and I'll be here waiting for him!“
Meanwhile, Sam was informed by his spy in the KING Group that Darren had sent someone to find a scapegoat. They were planning for another person to admit the crime so that Darren could finally be with Bonnie again.
In order to make sure that the information was accurate, Sam thought of contacting the police to confirm it.
When he called, he spoke in a vague way without giving too much information. “Hello, sir. Have you made any progress regarding the food safety case?“
An officer who was directly involved in the case responded from the other side of the line. “Bonnie's lawyer just presented us some new evidence.
It's currently under review while we investigate something else behind the scenes. If we have more information, we'll give you a call before anyone else.“
What the policeman said were exactly the same as what his informants had reported. With this in mind, Sam ran as fast as he could to Jacob's office.
While knocking on the office door, Sam exclaimed, “Mr. Gu, I have some important news!“
A deep and inviting voice came from inside. “Come in!“
The moment Sam entered the room, he said, “Mr. Gu, Darren and his men have begun to move and they have bribed a scapegoat. They're planning to make someone else take the blame.
That Darren is always so stubborn indeed. So what do you think we should do?“
While the two of them were having this conversation, the thought of Bonnie's suffering made Jacob stop what he was doing. His thick dashing eyebrows furrowed while his lips turned into a frown.
After placing his fingers on his chin and thinking for a while, Jacob thought this was too good of an opportunity to ignore. Darren was a difficult rival to beat and Jacob wouldn't allow him to get off so easily. At that moment, Jacob was completely ready to sacrifice irrelevant people to this battle of theirs.
Besides, if Jacob found out all of Darren's dirty secrets, Bonnie would be free without getting any charges.
When Jacob's mind had been settled, he hastily exclaimed, “Sam, send someone to stop that scapegoat now!“
While the two men were discussing more about their plan of action, Emily coincidentally came to look for Jacob. She pushed open the door and heard most of their plan.
She realized that if Jacob went ahead and stopped the scapegoat, an innocent girl like Bonnie would just get hurt again. In her heart, she simply couldn't let that happen.
Before Jacob could finish his sentence, Emily made her presence known and interrupted him. “Jacob! Bonnie is innocent in all of this. Don't get her involved, okay?“
Her sudden arrival surprised Jacob very much. He suddenly became nervous and replied in a low voice, “Emily, listen to me. I'm just going to settle the issue between us men. I'll give you an explanation later, so don't worry about it. You don't have to concern yourself about her. I swear she'll be free in all of this.“
Even though Jacob assured her of Bonnie's safety, Emily still felt uneasy. Bonnie had been through so much and Emily just couldn't bear to see her dear friend get hurt ever again. Because of this, she pleaded with Jacob once again.
“Jacob, you know what kind of a person Bonnie is. It's true that she's a bit impulsive but she's completely innocent in all accounts. Don't you think it's quite inappropriate to make her a bargaining chip in your fight with Darren?“
Ever since this whole situation started, Emily had been asking Jacob to leave Bonnie alone. Unfortunately, she was such a key piece that not involving her would cause difficulties. When Jacob saw how serious Emily looked about the issue, he knew he couldn't go on with his plan anymore. At that moment, the only thing he could do was helplessly rub his temples to ease his headache.
Sam kept quiet and simply stared at a corner while the couple talked with each other. Out of curiosity, he looked over to Emily. He was left completely stunned when he saw the intimidating expression on her face. Their plan was very time sensitive and they couldn't afford to waste another second.
