Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection (PDF) novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258 Rejecting My Sincerity? 

After hearing my arrangements, Cory nodded and agreed. 

After speaking a few words with me, he left. 

Watching him leave, I took a deep breath. At this point, the fewer people involved, the better. 

Some things, once they became associated with human lives, became much more serious. A slight lack of attention, and such matters were enough to make outsiders point fingers at the Hinton family. The most direct impact was on the reputation of all the companies under the Hinton Group. 

This impact, if minor, was tolerable, but if severe, it was enough to bring down a large corporation in an instant. I couldn’t afford to take that risk, the Hinton family couldn’t afford it, and Walter certainly couldn’t afford it. 

As I was daydreaming, Captain Lucas came in and said to me, “Ms. Conner, there’s someone outside to see you.” 

Was there anyone? 

My instinctive thought was Walter, I couldn’t help but ask, “Is it Walter?” 

Captain Lucas shook his head and said, “It’s the president of the Monroe Group.” 

Daniel? 

I was a bit surprised, what was he here for? 

Seeing my hesitation, Captain Lucas looked at me and said, “Do you want to see?” 

I nodded, even though I didn’t know why Daniel wanted to see me. he was here, and it wouldn’t make sense not to see him. 

But 

Captain Lucas turned around and left, after which I was taken to the meeting room. After all, my current status was only a suspect, not yet to the point of being detained. The police station didn’t intend to give me too much trouble either.. 

In the meeting room. 

Daniel, dressed in a black suit and nearly 188 cm tall, was significantly taller than the average person, requiring one to unconsciously look up at him. 

He stood by the window, presumably hearing footsteps, he turned his head to look. Seeing me, his thin lips lifted in a smile that was almost too handsome, “I’m sorry, I just found out about your situation. Are you okay here?” 

Hearing his greeting, I nodded, my gaze still lingering on his long legs. 

Seeing that I had remained silent and was just staring at him, he curved his lips into a faint smile and said, “I’ve already recovered, so I don’t need the wheelchair for now.” 

He was explaining why he hadn’t used a wheelchair. 

I smiled and said, “Great, but you’re much taller than I imagined.” 

Thad originally guessed that he was tall, but I didn’t expect him to be 

this tall. 

He gave a slight smile, his eyes squinting as he chuckled, “You… don’t 

like tall ones?” 

I quickly shook my head, “No!” But after saying that, I felt that the conversation seemed a bit inappropriate. I hurriedly explained, “Height is given by parents, there’s no such thing as liking or disliking it. Right, you came to find me because…” 

“Look at you!” He began, pointing to the chair in the meeting room, “Let’s sit down and talk. I just recovered, standing for too long is not quite suitable.” The latter part, of course, was referring to himself.
