Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 216

Amelia let out a breath of relief. Daniel wasn't as difficult to deal with as the rumors had suggested.

Soon, Charlene returned. As she walked in, she asked in confusion, "What's with that police officer outside?"

"You noticed too?" Daniel was speechless.

Even Charlene could spot her. Amelia's plainclothes protection was truly something else. Not just anyone could pull off something like that.

Charlene couldn't help but chuckle. "It's funny. I happened to glance at her as I walked past. She was covering her face with her police hat, looking a bit flustered. If she hadn't done that, I wouldn't have noticed her at all!"

Daniel immediately recalled their last meeting when he pointed out that Amelia had forgotten to remove her badge.

This time, she remembered to take off her badge. But when trying to avoid Charlene's gaze, she used her hat as a shield.

That maneuver was simply beyond comprehension.

For Daniel, this was just another day. But for Jennifer, today was the day she would once again suppress Daniel and push him back to his former state.

"Mr. Inoue, this collaboration went very smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation!" Jennifer uttered with a smile at the celebratory banquet.

Luke Inoue raised his wine glass, narrowing his eyes. "You don't need to be this courteous, Ms. Walsh. This is our duty."

Luke was well aware of the power behind Jennifer. That was a force that made all of Sunrise Isle tremble. He couldn't afford to be careless.

"Hibari is an internationally renowned brand, far superior to whatever backwater enterprise suddenly popped up in Qranross. To commemorate our collaboration, we have prepared a gift for you," said Luke.

He then placed a stack of documents in front of Jennifer. "These are contracts from several distributors, totaling 300 million."

His expression remained indifferent, but Jennifer's breathing became noticeably heavier.
