Jonas figured that something was up after he studied Tanya’s expression. He exclaimed, “Don’t tell me that you’re worried about Darren right now; we can’t even help ourselves! Why are you worried about someone so insignificant?”
Then, Jonas murmured angrily, “Darren deserved it. He thought that he’s powerful and he could mess with the Garrison Commander’s son. F*ck it! We wouldn’t have been locked up had he not angered Zane!”
Jonas was furious. If his cousin were not by his side, he would have sworn and cursed Darren.
“Shut up!”
Tanya shook in anger as she stomped her feet. “Jonas, are you even human? Darren offended Zane to save me. It’s fine if you want to keep complaining, but you are not even showing the slightest hint of gratitude toward him.”
Tanya looked at Jonas in disappointment.
She thought it was embarrassing for her cousin, Jonas, as a man, to cave into Zane at such a critical time. He had put the Dokko family to shame. On the other hand, Darren was only an ordinary civilian, but he was not afraid to stand up for what was right. Tanya thought that Darren was a righteous man.
The two men were vastly different.
“I—”
After Tanya scolded him, Jonas lowered his head dispiritedly and mumbled, “Cousin, I did that for the sake of your safety—”
Tanya ignored Jonas.
Squeak!
The door was gently pushed open when they were talking, and then two soldiers walked into the room with a grim expression.
Tanya and Jonas became nervous, but they were stunned when they saw the people who came in after the soldiers.
Nathan and Darryl had walked into the room.
“Darren, they’ve arrested you too?” Tanya did not know Nathan, so she had her attention on Darryl. She shivered when she asked that.
However, Tanya was perplexed when she noticed that Darryl’s hands and feet were not bound.
‘What’s the situation? Darren is taken captive?’
Jonas was also surprised. He stared contemptuously and resentfully at Darryl.
