Chapter 1560 Being Bullied

Darren didn't respond. Suddenly, just when Bill thought that Darren was playing some tricks again, he
heard strange noises coming from outside the door.

Soon after, the footsteps of several people could be heard outside the private room. These footsteps
indicated that more people were coming in addition to those who had just broken in.

Bill's facial expression changed and he gave Darren a vicious look.

Seeing Bill's eyes darken, Darren smirked and said, “If I knew that you would treat me this way, I would
have made meticulous arrangements for myself too. Bill, tell your men to leave. I won't do anything to
you. Besides, all I said is that the KING Group survived the crisis. Did I say that I wouldn't help you?“

The glare that Bill gave Darren after he said that was intense. He was aware that working together with
Darren was like asking a tiger for its hide. Before he had agreed to team up with him, he had thought
he could control Darren. However, he now realized that Darren was not the type to be controlled. It was
too late for him to go back now since he had already chosen to ask him for help.

With a defeated sigh, Bill muttered, “All of you can leave now.“

All the men in the private room quickly left after they heard Bill's order. This time, only Bill and Darren
were left in the room.

Once the others had left, Darren shared his thoughts with Bill. “Listen, as far as I've known Louis, he
won't just do anything to you unprompted. There must be some reason why he's doing this to you, Bill.“

Doubt clouded Bill's mind as Darren said those words. He didn't remember if he had done anything to
Louis before.

Noticing Bill's confusion, Darren reminded, “Jacob's wife is Louis's sister.“



Just like Bill, Darren had no clue why Louis would cause trouble for Bill either, but he still wanted to use
him.

Realizing that he could use Louis and Jacob's relationship to his advantage, Darren wanted Bill to think
that Jacob was the mastermind behind all this. He knew that Bill would retaliate against him if that was
the case.

As Bill thought over what Darren had meant, he didn't say anything.

According to what Darren had just implied, the reason why Louis was causing trouble to Bill was due to
him assisting Darren. The enemy of Darren was Jacob, who happened to be Louis's brother-in-law.

But Bill knew one thing for sure. He was secretly supporting Darren's fight against Jacob. But how did
Louis find out about it?

After pondering about the situation, Bill quickly realized Darren's intentions for revealing the
relationship between Jacob and Louis. Still, Darren made a convincing argument. It was true that Louis
wouldn't just lay his hands on him for no reason. There must be something else going on.

Bill had already made up his mind on what to do next, so he didn't want to waste any more time here.

“Darren, I was too reckless earlier. I think I know what to do already.“

Bill wanted to make Darren think that he was going to go after Jacob.

But Darren was not a fool. He wasn't an easy man to deceive. He didn't blurt out what Bill was thinking.
The two of them nodded and said goodbye to each other before they left the private room.

When Darren arrived at his quiet home, he immediately went straight to the cellar.



Even though the cellar had been cleaned up recently, Darren could still smell the mixture of different
alcoholic liquors in the room.

Ever since Bonnie was incarcerated, Darren had been going back to the manor every night and getting
drunk. It was only in his drunken state that he could dream of her.

He didn't dare go to the prison to visit her again. He was afraid that if he saw her, he would actually
lose his mind and go crazy.

'Bonnie, don't worry. I will make sure to get you out soon…'

Darren was so drunk that he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Like Darren, Bonnie was also missing him terribly. The two of them were yearning for each other every
day.

Life in prison was torture for her, to be honest.

Emily and Darren had arranged everything for her, including her food and beverages. Therefore,
Bonnie received better treatment compared to ordinary prisoners.

Even the warden seemed to care a lot about her and he didn't allow anyone to bully her.

But the warden wasn't always there to protect her. The times that he weren't there proved to be the
most difficult time for Bonnie.

“So that's the girl called Bonnie, huh? Look at the food on her plate! Wow, just look! That's abalone!
What a nutritious meal for a woman! Who on earth does she think she is? How come she's given
special treatment here?“



“Isn't it obvious? She must be having an affair with the warden! I mean, look at her! Look at how
seductive she is!“

“Hey! Lower your voices! Didn't you notice that she's listening to everything we're saying?“

With trembling hands, Bonnie gripped her chopsticks and tried to ignore them. She looked down at the
plate in front of her, trying her best to control the tears that were about to fall.

All she wanted was to eat dinner in the canteen. But it seemed that her cellmates couldn't help but
gossip about her.

A few of her cellmates were sitting together at a table, but Bonnie was having her meal alone at
another table.

The discussions gradually became louder as days went by. At first, their voices were just small
whispers, like the faint buzzing of mosquitoes. After a few days of observation, the prisoners staying
near Bonnie realized that she was a pushover, so they freely gossiped about her without any fear of
retaliation.

One day, after the warden left, several bold female prisoners walked up to Bonnie.

Before Bonnie could react, they suddenly snatched all the food on her plate.

“You!“ Angrily, Bonnie stood up and glared at the women who dared to steal her food.

These bold women weren't expecting Bonnie to have such a livid reaction. They exchanged confused
glances for a while and then turned their attention back to the woman sitting near them.

Finally, one of the female prisoners gathered her courage and pushed Bonnie.



If the warden witnessed this, she would be punished at once. However, if she didn't do what her leader
had assigned her to do, she would just be bullied like Bonnie. In fact, she would experience worse,
because she couldn't get special treatment like Bonnie.

Even though she felt bad for treating Bonnie that way, she had no choice.

When the girl pushed her, Bonnie didn't expect that she would be so strong that she would completely
lose her balance. Her head hit the chair as she fell.

At this time, a police whistle echoed throughout the canteen.

The female prisoners who had just bullied Bonnie immediately knelt down and put their hands above
their heads. “What happened here? Hey, answer now! Were all of you bullying this girl?“ The warden
walked in with furrowed eyebrows and glanced at the two policemen beside him before giving a small
nod.

Noticing the warden's silent order, the two policemen quickly helped Bonnie up from the ground.

Since the female prisoners didn't speak up, the warden looked directly at Bonnie.

“What happened to you? Tell me. Which one of them pushed you?“

The female prisoner who had just pushed Bonnie couldn't help but tremble when she heard him asking
Bonnie questions.

Even those who had snatched Bonnie's meal began to feel scared.

When she noticed how scared they were, Bonnie couldn't help but sigh heavily. Then, she looked at the
warden and said, “Nothing serious. I just fell over. It was an accident.“

The warden didn't say anything. He gave an intense glare to all the prisoners at the canteen.



He hoped that these prisoners would be smart enough not to cause Bonnie any trouble from now on.

“Well, that's fine. Take her to the infirmary,“ the warden ordered. Then, he walked out of the
canteen.
