Chapter 66 The Confrontation
Half an hour later.
In the visiting room of the local police station.
Aurora counted tens of thousands in her heart before she heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
The door creaked and opened from the outside.
Zac entered in the backlighting.
"You only have ten minutes," the police officer said and closed the door.
The room was very dark, with only a lamp reflecting Aurora's face. Zac looked over and only felt that she looked dazzling even though she remained silent.
It was very likely that she would be detained by the local police and even be locked up for a long time.
Why wasn't she afraid? Was she sure he would save her?
In just an instant, Zac's eyes were filled with coldness once again. He pulled out a chair and sat in front of her.
"Have you figured it out?"
"No one will go against money," Aurora said with a smile.
Zac squinted. Aurora's tone made him very uncomfortable. "You are no longer qualified to
negotiate with me."
Aurora lowered her head and rubbed the cold handcuffs on her wrists under the table.
She said after a long while, "If you lose this project, your position in the Buchanna Group will be jeopardized. As far as I know, your partner Saul Gates has long been dissatisfied with you." Zac looked upset.
Aurora looked up and chuckled. "You will gain a lot by getting an insignificant person like me out of here in exchange for an opportunity to cooperate with the Oconnell family."
"Other than that, I have another request,” she said, laughing even harder.
"Aurora, you should be the one begging now!"
Zac felt that he was held back by her in all aspects and was very unhappy.
"You already made me lose everything. It doesn't matter if I die here now. If you don't agree, you can leave." Aurora blinked her eyes indifferently.
Get Bonus
"Tell me the terms." Zac suppressed his anger.
"You have a wedding with Wendy."
"That's it?" Zac immediately got up. "If you continue to play tricks with me, believe it or not, I will
let you be unable to leave this place for the rest of your life!"
"I believe in you."
"The Buchanna Group also has a branch here. I know it very well." Aurora leaned slightly forward. "I sincerely feel that you and Wendy are perfect for each other. I wish you a lifetime of happiness." Zac stared at her face across the long table. A long time later, his gaze moved away from her.'
"Or is it that you're afraid that I will sabotage your wedding again? If you truly love each other, how can you be affected by me?" Aurora muttered.
Zac said nothing, but directly opened the door and left.
Aurora sat there and took a deep breath.
Her palms were already sweaty.
Would she win this game?
Even if Zac missed the chance to meet Mr. Oconnell, the Buchanna Group would still have other major projects, and Aurora only staked on Zac's desire to make a good showing.
After he revived the Buchanna Group, he was all-powerful in the business world, and there was no
project he couldn't pull off.
Zac had never lost before.
As time passed, Aurora stared at the closed door and her heart beat faster,
If she lost...
With a squeak, the door was pushed open again. There was no trace of Zac. Two local police officers
came in. "You can go now."
When Aurora returned to the hotel, the news had spread.
The missing driver returned to the police station to file the case and said that this matter had nothing to do with Aurora. It was he who accidentally cut himself, so he temporarily left the car to go to the hospital. With the driver's confession, Aurora was naturally released.
However, when she thought about it carefully, there were too many strange things. In addition, Aurora already had a criminal record. Once she entered the hotel, everyone stayed away from her. Except for Mary.
She stood nervously at the elevator door, waiting for Aurora to come.
"Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?"
"If you are afraid, just stay away from me." Aurora pressed the elevator button.
Mary was speechless for a second. She thought about it carefully and shook her head. "I'm not afraid. I know you were wrongly accused."
The door closed and the elevator slowly went up.
Aurora rubbed her fingertips. "That's exactly why you should not be close with me, understand?"
Mary was stunned. When Aurora went out, she quickly caught up with her. "Sara took all your things to her room. Anna also turned a blind eye. Besides, Sara's man... That Terry said that he wanted to find a way to save you but hasn't returned to the hotel."
Aurora took out the room key she had always carried and swiped the door.
No reaction
"This room should have already been occupied. Why don't you stay with me first?" Mary asked carefully.
Aurora suddenly turned to look at Mary and frowned. "You are obviously afraid of me, then why are you clingy to me?"
She still had a lot to do, and it was inconvenient to be followed all the time.
Mary gritted her teeth. "I was also set up like this before."
She knew how lonely Aurora was now, and she knew that she must need help.
"If you need anything, I will try my best..."
ora
Aurora rubbed her forehead. If she didn't ask Mary for help, she might keep following her. "I need a very eye-catching dress. Can you help me get it?" "Yes!"
Mary stuffed the spare room key into Aurora's hand, turned around, and ran away.
Aurora looked at the room key and put it in her pocket. She looked around and entered the elevator.
When Terry received the call from Aurora, he did not know that she had already come out. He had
already asked his friend to find the best lawyer to save her.
Aurora stood in the hotel lobby and listened to Terry's words from the telephone receiver. "You stand there. I will go over there immediately." Then he hung up.
Aurora smiled and thanked the receptionist. She thought about asking Sara to give her the phone back. Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient. "Aurora!"
She heard a cry of surprise behind her. "Aren't you detained by the police?"
Wendy was supported by Ella, her eyes widened and her face turned pale again.
Aurora didn't move. She saw Wendy shake off Ella, take a few steps, and rush to the reception with heavy steps. "Don't you check the identity of your guests? She is detained by the police. Tell her to get out of here immediately!"
"Ma'am, don't worry. Ms. Bennet is no longer staying in our hotel. Her room has already been given to other guests," the receptionist explained.
However, Wendy still wanted to make a scene.
Every time she saw Aurora, she felt that something bad would happen.
Luckily Wendy's baby was fine, otherwise...
Wendy took a few deep breaths. "Since she doesn't live here, why let her in? Drive her out!"
Aurora glanced at her. "I'm here to see Zac. Why don't you ask him if he wants me to go?"
