I knew he wouldn’t lie. The terms were indeed tempting.
If I hadn’t gone through these matters, I might have agreed.
After all, the Perez Group was a dream place for many top students. As long as someone got in, he could go to high society.
After working there for a few years, the resume would shine.
But now, I just wanted to leave this place.
I didn’t want anything anymore.
“Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it. But I have decided to go back home to be with my parents. They have worried too much about this. I don’t want them to worry anymore.”
After I spoke, Zoey suddenly rushed out of the police station.
Before anyone could react, she knelt directly in front of Bryan.
“You can’t do this to me. We still have a son! I have been with you for so long. I just made this one mistake. Can’t you give me a chance? I can change. I won’t go out anymore, okay?”
Bryan frowned deeply and said to me, “Sorry. This is embarrassing.”
After speaking, he turned to the police and said, “Take her in.”
I nodded indifferently.
It seemed he hadn’t told Zoey about their son’s parentage.
He probably couldn’t bear it, after raising him for so many years.
Zoey saw Bryan’s polite attitude towards me. Her eyes instantly turned red with anger.
She shook off the police’s hand and pointed at me.
“Do you believe her? She’s just jealous! She’s jealous that I have a good husband and a good son. You can’t believe her!”
She broke down and cried out loud.
Even though the evidence was clear, she kept slandering me.
In my previous life, I went to prison too quickly and didn’t have time to ask her clearly.
How did a friend I grew up with become like this?

When did she start seeing me as a scapegoat?
Or was it from the beginning, I was never a friend in her eyes?
The questions I wanted to ask lost their voice when I saw her vicious and hateful eyes.
It seemed unnecessary now.
She started wailing at the police station entrance.
Her cries grew louder. Bryan’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
“Have you had enough?”
With a glance, the police beside him immediately dragged her away.
Now, I could really leave.
I went to the nearby hotel my parents had booked, but couldn’t find their check–in information.
Both their phones were turned off. I lost contact with them.
In an instant, I panicked.
I quickly dialed Bryan’s number.
“Do you know where my parents went? I can’t find them at the hotel! Could something have happened?”
Upon hearing this, his voice instantly turned cold.
“Derron wasn’t found. When the police arrived, Zoey had already tipped him off. Could it be him…”
Hearing this, I was stunned.
Remembering Derron’s ruthlessness in my previous life, cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
“Call the police. I need to call the police! He will kill. Something must have happened to my parents!”
I quickly ran to the police station. Bryan had already informed them of the situation.
The police located my parents‘ phones. But when they arrived, only the smashed phones were left.
They repaired the phones on the spot to find clues.
Finally, they saw a message from Derron.
“Want to solve your daughter’s problem? Come to this place”
