Chapter 236
I was hoping Russel could help me out, the information he had was pretty crucial to me.
But at that moment, I was all out of faith
Maybe I was too overconfident. Sure, in my previous life, Russel would have gone nuts for Bonnie Tueley, just like Neil Whitmore, and fight against everyone. But how could I have been certain that he would go crazy for me in this life?
Didn’t Neil’s mad love for Bonnie change?
I kept quiet, at a loss for words. After my dad was framed, I could see my future with Russel.
“Why wait for Russel when I’m here? Neil asked again, hope shining in his eyes as he waited for my response.
What if I accept Neil’s help? We can’t keep out of each others hair then And what would my dad think?
My mom had a heart attack because I asked Neil for help, and she was still unconscious. It’s a huge burden for me.
I was torn inside, and the air was heavy with tension
“Forget it, even if you need my help, you’d still make me beg” disappointment showed on Neil’s face. He stood up and said. “If you ever want my help. come find me. Until then, I’m hands-off
He went to the kitchen for a bit and then left.
Just then, Harold came down from upstairs. He must have heard my conversation with Neil, he looked at me seriously and said. “Rena, you can’t have anything to do with Neil Even though your dad’s situation is serious, you can’t go to him for help. If your dad knew, he’d rather rot in jail than have you do
this!”
Harold and my dad are brothers. One’s a businessman, the other a politician, yet their personalities are pretty similar
Neither of them thinks highly of Nel
“Harold, did you find out any useful information? | know my dad wouldn’t abuse his power, you know his character, I was worried sick. “As for the rumors about him messing around, I’ve sorted that
I used some cash to find Genevas husband and got him to admit to the plot. So then, some of the public was on my dads side.
Thinking about my dad, not know where he’s locked up or if he was suffering, it was like a needle in my heart.
I’m trying to get some inside information from an old friend. He promised to get back to me in a few days after asking around Harold comforted me. “Rena, you’re the only daughter of your parents. You must make the right decisions Don’t act on impulseTM
I nodded, Neil’s words echoing in my mind. To that day he was the most influential person I knew if I wanted to solve my dad’s problem fast, he was the best bet
But Harold’s words reminded me that I cant compromise easily. Neil would have definitely had terms.
That night, I barely slept. The next day I was so tired when i got to the office
Not long after I arrived, my assistant told me that a woman named Chloe Reynolds wanted to see me
Hearing Chloe’s name. I perked up. She was a friend of Russel, and she’s had a thing for him. She might knew where Russel was, she could help me get in
touch with him.
“Send her up, I ordered immediately
Five minutes later, Chloe walked into my office Her eyes were red, she looked like she’d been crying, and she gave me a complicated fook, ‘Ms. Finch, we meet again.”
I was nervous but kept a poker face. Please, sit down”
I thought I found a glimmer of hope, but it turned out she wanted me to break up with Russel
“He’s locked up at home by his parents, out of a job. If you dont break up with him, your family will face revenge from his parents. Ms. Finch, it sounds disgusting, but they’re doing it for him. I hope you understand I don’t want his conflict with his parents to escalate, he might be kicked out and left with nothing This is my number. If you want to break up with him, contact me, and I’ll tell him. As long as you break up with him, he’ll back off”
Chloe’s words echoed in my ears. I sat in my office, my mind blank
On the table was her business card.
I spent the rest of the day in a daze. As soon as I left the office in my car after work, a Lincoln I recognized stopped me.
The window polled down, and Bonnie showed her face, Trene, I have something to say. Don’t reject me just yet, or you’ll regret it”
I wanted to crash my car into hers. I had too many headaches around that time. And Bonnie, the root of all my problems, dared to show up!
But I needed to talk to her.
I parked the car, and Bonnie got in. She looked me up and down, then sighed, “Irene, you’ve lost weight. Are you overworked?”
“Cut the crap. I’ll clear my dad’s name. You should know the consequences of slandering and framing a public official” I had to keep my cool.
Bonnie did all that because she couldn’t accept defeat. She wanted to see me suffer, but I wouldn’t let her
I Won’t show any weakness or fear in front of her, and I won’t satisfy her malicious expectations
Bonke sneered. She looked at her disabled left hand, then glared at me, “I haven’t forgotten about my hand, Irene Finch. You’re the biggest obstacle. my life!”
