Durrell Landon didn’t say whether he believed it or not, he just looked at him indifferently.
Clara Hale felt a bit guilty being stared at by Durrell Landon, and she shrank her neck and silently lowered her head.
Durrell Landon didn’t really make things difficult for him, just instructed Aaron to keep a close watch.
Quiana Sutton didn’t let Damian Vance step in, after all, he has a penchant for drawing blood with even the slightest disagreent.
But the others she sent out, after a whole three days, there was no news at all.
And during those three days, different photos were delivered to Night Phoenix every day.
Clara Hale looked quite miserable in the photos, seeming to be on the brink of so breakdown.
Previously, almost all the big and small matters of Night Phoenix were handled by Clara Hale, with her disappearing for a full three days now, she really felt a bit unaccustod.
She knew that Durrell Landon was forcing her to appear, and he had crafted it perfectly.
But she had to admit, right now it was Durrell Landon who had won.
If he made a move, it would be a decisive one.
Raven Headquarters.
Durrell Landon was flipping through so files when suddenly there was a knock on the door, causing his hand to pause, and he spoke in a flat tone, "Co in."
A subordinate entered the study and spoke respectfully, "Master, the other party claims to be the leader of Night Phoenix and wants to et with you."
His face showed no emotion, "Let them co in."
"Yes."
...
This was Quiana Sutton’s first ti entering the Raven Headquarters.
Many people glanced at her along the way, but she ignored them all.
The person guiding her led her to Durrell Landon’s study.
She opened the door and saw Durrell Landon busy with his laptop, calm yet focused, seemingly unaware of whatever he was doing; she had been inside for five minutes, yet not even a glance was spared.
Quiana Sutton looked at him sowhat angrily; he forced her to co, and now that she was here, he neither spoke nor looked at her?
But since Durrell Landon didn’t speak, she couldn’t be bothered to speak either.
She simply found a spot on the sofa and sat down.
As ti ticked away second by second, who knows how long passed, Durrell Landon still hadn’t looked at her, and she finally ran out of patience.
She walked up to the desk and forcefully shut his laptop.
Seeing this, the man finally lifted an eyelid, his voice deep and indifferent, "Do you think that because I love you, you can act recklessly?"
He paused here, and said with a half-smile, "But you also know, the one I love is the other you."
She curled her lips into a smile, leisurely looking at Durrell Landon, "But she and I share the sa body, if you truly hurt , then she will never co back."
The man didn’t speak, just lifted his lips into a sneer, seemingly with a hint of sarcasm.
"In this world, ti can change many things, enough to turn seas into mulberry fields, love into nothingness. If you truly disappear forever, how can you be sure this love won’t fade with ti."
She frowned.
"Then why are you forcing to appear, what is it you want to do?"
Durrell Landon slowly stood up and walked over to Quiana Sutton’s side, "Then what have you co to do today?"
She spoke without much emotion, "I’ve co to take Clara Hale back to Night Phoenix."
"Night Phoenix and the Raven have long-standing animosities, and now that Clara Hale is in my hands, how can I possibly let her go so easily?"
Quiana Sutton slightly frowned, then heard the man speak with an even tone, "If you want Clara Hale to return, fine, one person for one person."
Quiana Sutton: "..."
"Are you forcing ?"
"I’m not forcing you, I’m giving you a choice." He said with a half-smile, "And do you think I don’t also have to make choices? If she never returns, then you are my enemy, and I must avenge her. At that ti, you’ll be troubled both inside and out, unable to accomplish anything, correct?"
Her eyebrows furrowed deeper...
The surrounding was deeply silent, amidst this silence, she distinctly heard a voice, "So you must stay in front of , constantly reminding that even if the stars turn, so things should not be forgotten."
Saying this, the voice seed to calm, "And if you stay by my side, whatever you want to do, I can help you, isn’t that good? More importantly, I don’t have any interest in you at present."
She chuckled lowly; after saying so much, wasn’t all Durrell Landon wanted was for her to stay within his line of sight?
He was still hoping to bring back the other personality.
But she wanted to do other things now, if Durrell Landon really tried to pull so tricks behind her back, that would be quite troubling for her.
Finally, she agreed to Durrell Landon’s demand, "Alright, I’ll stay with Raven, you let Clara Hale return to Night Phoenix."
...
When Clara Hale was brought to the study and saw Quiana Sutton, she almost fell to her knees and called her daddy in her heart, didn’t expect she’d really say it out loud.
"Daddy, you finally ca to rescue ."
She spoke coolly, "I thought you were tortured by the Raven people into sothing unrecognizable, didn’t expect you’re having quite a good ti..."
Clara Hale hugged her leg, nearly in tears.
Durrell Landon watched Clara Hale’s actions, his gaze becoming a bit more shadowed. Clara Hale seed to ignore it, speaking all by herself.
"Boss, I’ve been having a miserable ti, every day they tempt with gourt food, and bring beauties to seduce , not only torturing my body but also my spirit. Fortunately, my will is strong, otherwise, I would have been crushed."
Quiana Sutton: "..."
Durrell Landon: "..."
He tossed her over to Aaron, only instructing not to let her leave, and that so photos needed to be sent to her daily, otherwise he hadn’t been too concerned, didn’t expect Aaron to co up with such things.
Quiana Sutton looked sowhat disdainfully at the tearful Clara Hale, "Alright, you hurry back, don’t wander around carelessly if there’s nothing else."
He looked up at Quiana Sutton, "Boss, are you coming back with ?"
She spoke lightly, "I’ll stay at Raven for now, you go back alone."
Clara Hale: "???"
So in the end, he’s just a scapegoat?
The couple fights, and he’s the scapegoat who suffers?
Probably confird his safety, he relaxed, and at this mont, his stomach growled a few tis, he shalessly spoke:
"Boss, if you don’t mind, let bum a al before I go back."
He had beco a bit obsessed with the als cooked by Raven’s chef.
This ti it was Durrell Landon who was at a loss for words.
He was starting to doubt how Clara Hale even managed to sit in the position of Night Phoenix’s second-in-command, considering if Clara Hale tricked Quiana Sutton.
Quiana Sutton looked at Clara Hale sideways, unceremoniously replying, "Scram..."
