The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1640

Making Amends?

"I can talk to him. The person who got hit, I know him. He's my... friend."

Aurora was in the dark about the full story.

But she was convinced that Craig wasn't the type to act on impulse.

"That would be perfect! Do you want me to bring him in so you can talk?"

"Yes, thank you."

Aurora waited in the inquiry room for a while before she saw Duncan walking in.

The injury on his face...

"Aurora."

"Is this from Craig?"

Duncan nodded, his hand clutching a bag of ice against his cheek, "Yes! I just told him to treat you right, to cherish you. Craig took it as an insult and threw a punch!"

He had completely erased the surveillance audio.

So, whatever Duncan said went unchallenged!

After all, there was no denying Craig had hit someone.

Deep down, Aurora didn't believe Craig would hit someone without reason, but... she knew he struggled with feelings of insecurity.

And right now, solving this problem was urgent! They couldn't let Craig stay in detention, especially with their wedding tomorrow.

"Duncan, I'm sorry on Craig's behalf, okay? You tell me how much you want for compensation, for medical expenses, and I'll cover it! Considering I'm friends with your sister, can't you forgive Craig this once?"

"Should you be the one paying for this?" Duncan looked puzzled. "He's the one who hit me, and now a woman has to clean up his mess! Aurora, you really should think it over, whether you want to marry him or not."

Aurora bristled at those words.

She frowned, "Craig and I are about to get married. We're family. His problems are my problems. There's no mine or yours."

"I just think... a man should take responsibility! Without money, there's no talking about responsibility."

"That's your opinion."

"Ah." Seeing her, Miles naturally walked over and gently patted her shoulder, "I'm here now, don't worry. I'll handle it."

Felicity looked up at him, then lowered her gaze, "The wedding is tomorrow. My brother-in-law can't really be detained today."

"Rest assured, I'll start by reviewing the evidence."

"Okay."

Miles led her to a nearby seat and made sure she sat down before he approached the officers to inquire about the specifics.

They showed Miles the evidence.

The assault was undeniable.

But...

"Why is there no sound on this surveillance?"

"The victim provided this! He claimed the surveillance didn't capture sound, that it was too far away."

Miles smirked, "Well, give me a moment. I'll restore the audio."
