Chapter 3

“Boss, the lady is fine. Everything is perfectly fine besides the bruises on her head and arms.”

“Has she said anything else?”

“Nothing, boss. She has just been asking the same questions over and over again.”

Damian closed the file in his hands as he looked at the doctor, “Okay, you may leave now.”

“Boss… err…” The doctor touched his beard as he looked at Damian with his gossipy eyes.

He so badly wanted to know what happened, but he was too afraid to ask. But if he did not get the answers to his questions, then he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

“What? Is anything the matter?”

“No… err… You see…” before the doctor could say anything, Damian’s assistant entered the study room holding a brown file in his hands.

“Boss, I have got all the information you wanted.”

Damian nodded, “Good.”

“Timmy, what is it? What information did your boss want?” The doctor inquired as his eyes glistened.

Looking at his expression, Timmy laughed, “Ivan, I think that you are in the wrong profession. You would have become a paparazzi.”

Doctor Ivan touched his nose, “What do you mean? I am just worried about my best friend, okay.”

“There is nothing to worry about. You know that my boss never makes any moves unless he is certain.”

Damian was already used to the two bantering every now and then. He cleared his throat, and the two men immediately shut up.

Timmy walked forward and handed the file to Damian, “Every bit of information is in there.”

Damian took the file and opened it without hesitation. After reading everything in it, he threw it aside, and his gaze became deep.

Hmm, so Mark has been cheating on his wife with his sister-in-law. But according to Mark’s character, Damian was not surprised. Mark had no bottom line, and he could do anything as long as it benefited him.

But Aria, would she really let go of the marriage she had spent three years trying to build?

Maybe he should talk with her and try to find out what she was thinking about.

Damian looked at Ivan and ordered, “Go and bring her here. I need to have a private talk with her.”

Ivan nodded and left the study room.

Timmy looked at his boss and asked, “Boss, what are you planning to do with her? She is Mark’s wife, and Mark is your greatest enemy. Could this be a trap?”

“I don’t know, Timmy. I will find out everything once I talk to her. But if it is a trap set by that devil, then I will not spare anyone. I will burn this whole city to ashes.” Damian spoke in a cold voice. His eyes were cold and emotionless, an indication that he meant every word he said.

When Aria entered the study room, the atmosphere was really tense. Her already tensed heart was just hanging by a thread now.

Timmy quietly left the study room and even closed the door, leaving Aria and Damian all alone in the room.

Damian looked at Aria, his gaze hovering on her face for a few seconds. Although she had bandages on her head, that did not hide her beauty. But Damian was not in the mood to explore her beauty right now. He needed to get to the bottom of the matter ASAP.

He pointed at the seat in the study room and spoke, “Please, have a seat.”

‘At least, he was polite.’ Aria thought in her head.

“What happened? Why were you driving yesterday, knowing fully well that you were not in your right senses?” Damian asked.

Aria looked at his handsome face and blinked. She seemed to have finally recalled the man’s identity.

Wasn’t he Damian Hall? The most promising businessman in the country, and the person who had given Mark sleepless nights on different occasions?

She had seen him one time at a private gala, and there was no way she could be mistaken.

What had she gotten herself into?

“Why are you looking at me like that? Aren’t you going to answer my question?”

Aria came back to her senses, “I am sorry, it's just that…”

“Did Mark purposely send you here?”

Hearing that name, Aria felt her stomach churn. Deep hatred burned in her heart, and her eyes turned extremely cold.

Damian was looking at her, so he did not miss the change in his expression. It seemed that the report was true. Mark had really cheated on his wife.

Aria looked at Damian and scoffed, “Please, Mr. Hall, don’t speak nonsense. I was sent here by nobody.”

“What happened to you? Why were you in such a condition?”

“I think that it is none of your damn business. Thank you so much for your help, kindly allow me to leave this place.” As Aria said that, she stood up.

Damian looked at her and chuckled lightly. His dangerous aura, as if he were facing a tough foe, vanished into thin air.

“Miss Wilson, or should I call you Mrs. Thompson?”

Before he could continue, Aria stopped her, “Please, I am no longer related to that name. Don’t address me as such.”

“Don’t be in a hurry to leave. You know, if I wanted, I would have reported you to the police for running into my car. But I was kind enough to bring you to my house, is this how you thank me?”

“If I want, I can file a case against you, and you will have to compensate me for the damages caused to my car.”

Aria thought about it. Although she could not remember what had happened, she knew that she had not been in the right state of mind last night to drive, and this man might be right.

If she had been caught by the police, then it would have been a different case.

She sat back down and looked at Damian. Since he had called her here, it means that he had some kind of condition for her.

“What do you want?”

Damian stared at her and nodded, “I like your straightforwardness.”

“Just cut to the chase. I have some scores to settle with some people, and I don’t have much time.”

“Tell me, what really happened yesterday?”

“And why do you want to know?”

“Because I think that we can be allies.”

“What?”
