Chapter 60
“Mr. Fowler, thank you for everything.”
It was evident that she no longer wished to maintain contact with him. Waylen, being astute, surely understood her message.
She waited for a while and glanced at her phone from time to time. As expected, he didn’t reply.
She had already gotten what she wanted, but a hint of disappointment still lingered. Would things have been different if she and Waylen had met under different circumstances?
She quickly realized that she was overthinking things.
How could someone from a wealthy family like Waylen ever be with her?
Rena had a restless night, but she woke up early the next morning, fearing that Eloise might suspect something was amiss. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, the door swung open. Eloise stood there with a pale face, her lips trembling as she said, “Rena, your father has taken his own life.”
Rena stood frozen, her heart sinking.
Eloise, with a pale face, repeated the words. “Your father committed suicide! They managed to save him, but he’s in critical condition. Rena, please help me see him. He’s always been frail, and this incident has hit him hard.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
After being frozen in place for a moment, Eloise covered her face and wept, her grief evident.
Rena’s mind was in turmoil as she stood still in front of the crying woman as she listened to the pained cries echoing through the room. She couldn’t accept the idea that her father had taken his own life. He seemed fine when she last saw him! As she snapped out of her thoughts, she immediately called Hyatt, desperately pleading for his help to visit Darren.
Hyatt, already aware of the situation, arranged a meeting with Rena at his office.
Without even having breakfast, Rena accompanied Eloise to Hyatt’s office. She was too distressed to be able to think of filling her stomach at that moment.
Hyatt wore a grave expression as he made several phone calls in front of Rena and Eloise.
Finally, he hung up the phone and shook his head. “Darren is stable, but he can’t be released on bail. He needs to undergo treatment in the detention center.”
Knowing the fact that his son was into Rena, Hyatt chose his words carefully. “Rena, your father’s case has connections to the Moore Group. You can try approaching Mr. Moore and see if he can offer any assistance.”
Harold! She took in a deep breath as she tried to process the words she just heard.
After that, Rena suddenly closed her eyes in anguish. She should have known that Harold was behind all this! He had done so many cruel things to force her back to him.
After what just transpired, how could he think that she would happily welcome him with open arms?

If she became his mistress, her father would be furious, even if he was bailed out. But if Rena didn’t comply, what would happen to her father and Eloise? Was she destined to watch her family crumble?
Rena sat there, her body tense. She wore a shocked expression on her face as she tried to process every bit of information she had learned at that moment.
Glancing worriedly at her, Hyatt handed a glass of water and murmured, “Why not ask Waylen for help with the case? Tyrone mentioned that the two of you had grown close.”
Rena cast her eyes downward.
For a while, she remained that way without uttering a single word. Being as perceptive as he was, Hyatt continued in a gentle tone, “He isn’t as indifferent as he seems. He has shown interest in the documents regarding…”
He abruptly halted, remembering what Waylen had confided in him.
