Chapter 136 Arrested
Micah’s gaze followed Darya as she drove away, a complex mix of emotions flickering across his eyes.
Just as he was about to approach Regina, his phone startled him with its sudden ring.
It was Norris calling.
‘What’s the matter?‘ Micah was concerned that something had gone wrong with the company while he was away.
‘Boss, I just received an email from Miss McAllister’s assistant. I believe you should take a look,‘ Norris explained, seated next to the computer as he forwarded the email to Micah.
Micah furrowed his brow.
An email?
What could it be about?
A few seconds later, his phone pinged with an incoming email.
Micah opened it anxiously.
His pupils dilated, and the air around him grew heavy with tension.
The email contained a recording of a conversation between Regina and a man.
‘…It’s that woman named Darya,‘ Regina said. ‘Once you eliminate her or leave her incapacitated, you won’t have to worry about the rest of your life. Just take her out in the parking lot of her company.‘
Apart from the recording, the email also included the man’s profile and a photo, resembling the same driver caught on the surveillance footage attempting to run over Darya.
Micah felt as if a sledgehammer had crashed into his chest, leaving him breathless.
So, it was Regina who wanted Darya dead.
If he hadn’t sought out Darya that day, if he hadn’t arrived in time to save her, then Darya…
Micah was consumed with anger.
Regina could hear the voices in the recording, and fear gripped her.
Desperate, she reached out, grabbing hold of Micah’s trousers.
‘M–Micah, listen! No, it, it wasn’t me,‘ she stammered, panicking.
Regina hadn’t expected Darya to uncover the truth so quickly, nor did she anticipate Darya’s retaliatory actions.
When Micah glanced at her, Regina trembled with fear, cold sweat trickling down her back.

His eyes turned icy, as if he were staring at a monster he no longer recognised.
It was the first time Micah saw Regina for who she truly was.
Even now, faced with overwhelming evidence, Regina attempted to squirm her way out of it.
Micah suddenly realised that perhaps Regina had orchestrated everything since his marriage to Darya.
Those repeated injuries, her claim of needing Darya’s blood transfusion–It had all been a calculated ploy by
Regina!
Micah’s gaze grew frigid.
Clenching his phone tightly, he lifted his leg and shook off Regina’s tainted touch.
‘Micah!‘ Regina cried, her voice filled with pitiful pleas.
‘Get lost!‘ Micah seethed, his anger directed solely at Regina.
This was the first time he felt such rage towards her.
With that, he left Regina behind, viewing her as nothing more than trash.
Slipping into his car, he drove away, leaving her to struggle alone.
Just as Regina reached for her phone, intending to call Felicia, the blare of a car horn caught her attention.
Could it be that Micah had sent someone to pick her up?
Did it mean he still had feelings for her?
Regina’s delight turned to dismay as a police officer materialised before her, delivering a figurative slap to her
face.
‘Regina Fischer? You are under arrest for attempted murder. Please come with us,‘ the officer stated, presenting his arrest warrant as he moved towards her.
Caught off guard, Regina found herself grabbed by the officer, her wrists handcuffed.
She had believed she would be saved, but instead, she found herself imprisoned.
As she was bundled into the back of the police car, Regina realised that Micah would never treat her kindly
again.
And what frightened her even more was that Darya would never let her off the hook.
Returning to the Paragon Group, Darya’s spirits soared.
She couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of Regina’s pitiful state.
‘Regina, oh, Regina, this is the consequence of crossing me,‘ Darya mused to herself.
Just as she got ready to resume work, her phone rang.
Bianca was calling.

‘Dolly, have you seen the news?‘ Bianca sounded breathless with excitement.
Darya hadn’t checked her phone yet.
