Chapter 259 Why Make it Public?
I paused for a moment, quickly shaking my head, “Of course not, I…”
“Since it’s not, let’s get back to business,” he began, looking at me. “I’ve already had the contract sent
to the Conner Group. You should give your people a heads up. If there are no issues, go ahead and
sign the partnership contract.”
He hardly gave me a chance to refute, continuing, “I have already arranged things with the city
government. As long as we settle things here, they will also arrange for cooperation as soon as
possible.”
I looked at him, not with surprise, but with confusion, frowning, “Mr. Monroe, given my current situation,
continuing to work with the Conner Group is not a good choice for you.”
He raised an eyebrow, “Is this important?”
I was indeed rendered speechless by his questions, unable to answer any of them for a moment.
Seeing me silent, he gave a faint smile and continued, “Ms. Conner, we are friends, we should trust
each other, shouldn’t we?”
Was this a matter of trust?
Alright, perhaps I don’t understand the world of the wealthy. Seeing his determination to sign a contract
with the Conner Group, there was no reason for me to refuse such a good opportunity.
She looked at him and said, “Thank you, Mr. Monroe.”
Looking at me, he smiled faintly, “If you really want to thank me, how
about treating me to a meal when you get out?”
I nodded, saying, “Alright, I hope Mr. Monroe will honor us with his presence then.”
He raised his eyebrows and gave a faint smile, as a form of agreement.
After the conversation ended, I thought he was going to get up and leave. Unexpectedly, he suddenly
became serious, furrowed his brows and looked at me, asking, “Did the police bother you?”
There was a subtle chill in his words.
I was taken aback, shaking my head, not understanding why he suddenly asked this. I quickly said,
“No, I…” I noticed that he had caught a glimpse of the red and swollen mark on my wrist from being
kidnapped yesterday, he must have misunderstood.
Upon seeing this, I quickly explained. “It has nothing to do with the police, it was an accident that
happened yesterday, thank you for your concern, Mr. Monroe.”
“Accidentally left behind? What are you talking about?” He looked at me, squinting his dark pupils in
question.
I was a bit uncomfortable being questioned by him, and after a moment, I said, “A minor issue has
already passed.”
Looking at me, he pursed his lips, his expression obscure. I couldn’t guess what he was thinking, and
didn’t feel it was right to ask too much.
After a while, he suddenly looked at me and said, “Don’t be afraid, you’ll be able to leave in a few
days.”
His inexplicable comment left me a bit baffled, but I still managed to give him a grateful smile, saying, “I
hope so, thank you Mr. Monroe.”
He hadn’t said much when a knock came from outside, the urging sound of the police, signaling that
Daniel’s visiting time was up.
Upon seeing this, Daniel chuckled and said to me, “Ms. Conner, don’t forget to invite me for a meal.”
I nodded with a smile, and stood up to see him off.
Watching him leave, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, I was somewhat puzzled
by Daniel. It was just a collaboration for him, even with Sebastian’s involvement, there was no need for
him to come to the police station to talk to me. Moreover, this matter was all harm and no benefit to
him. What was he after?
I couldn’t figure it out, so I simply decided not to think about it
anymore.
Staying at the police station, besides cooperating with the police investigation and questioning, I spent
the rest of my time in a daze, struggling to recall all the details of the day Ashley killed Henry in my
mind.
Walter came in the evening, I originally thought he wouldn’t come so quickly. After all, my situation had
made the news, and now the Hinton Group had too many things waiting for him to handle. At such a NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
time, he simply didn’t have the ability to take care of me.
Looking at the man with a cold expression sitting across the room, I thought my actions had greatly
affected the Hinton Group, causing huge losses. I quickly asked, “Is everything okay with the Hinton
Group?”
Walter looked at me, his face so grave it was somewhat frightening. He stared at me for several
seconds before finally speaking, “Why did you make our divorce public?”
Was he angry because of this?
I paused for a moment, then said, “This is the fastest way to minimize the impact on the Hinton Group.
As long as the news of the divorce is announced, no one with ulterior motives will use the fact that I am
the daughter-in-law of the Hinton family to cause trouble for the Hinton family. Naturally, my affairs will
not involve the Hinton family.”
His face darkened even more, “You really thought this through.”
