“Under arrest?” Sherry was stumped but managed to maintain calmness on her face. “What for?”The police officer in charge stepped out with a steel handcuff dangling from his waist. It was clear as day as to what he was trying to do.“You were her attending doctor, this reason alone is enough for us to suspect your involvement,” the police officer said. “There are many situations that point towards your involvement in this.”Sherry: “...”Seeing that Sherry did not refute his statement, a smile appeared on his face.“You have the right to remain silent,” he sneered.Levian was talking with the hospital director when he heard the commotion coming from the corridor. When he saw the police officer approaching Sherry, he immediately creased his eyebrows in an unpleasant frown. The director he was talking to followed his line of sight.“Doctor Sherry from the department of Neurology?” The old director pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He somewhat knew that the kidnapped vic
The lawyer Levian had arranged for had arrived at the police station earlier and was waiting for Levian to arrive.“Hello, sir, mam,” the lawyer, Mr. Jeckil greeted Levian and Sherry as soon as they entered the police station. He glanced at Sherry, the plain but calm lady standing next to Levian. He had looked at the matter he was given on his way to the police station. Although he was hired by Levian, his client today was not him but the young lady.He produced his business card and handed it to Sherry. Sherry took the card but she was shocked and speechless when she saw who the man was.She knew Levian would help her find a competent lawyer but this lawyer was simply….he was simply a god amongst the lawyer in his field.Mr. Jeckil was an intelligent lawyer who had not once lost any case that was given to him. He was witty and careful, his words were irrefutable in the crowd. In simple words….he was the best lawyer anyone could ask for.However, he was expensive. Although Sherry her
Realizing that they could not pester Sherry anymore, they allowed her to leave the police station right after the interrogation.Sherry thanked Mr. Jeckil and got ready to leave the interrogation room. As she stepped out of the room, she noticed a figure sitting inside the office. He had rested his face lazily on his chin and seemed to be thinking about something. His usually calm face creased in deep frowns once in a while.What he was thinking seemed to be bearing a lot of weight in his mind.“Mr. Smith, you are still here,” Sherry was stunned and her voice was a mix of surprise as well as hidden relief. She hurried towards him, her heart filled with warmth. “You could have gone before.”Hearing the gentle tone, Levian raised his head, and his intense gaze collided with her bright ones.Sherry’s heart skipped a beat and was the first one to remove her gaze. She looked at Ron who was standing next to Levian and said,“You could have gone before.”“Let’s go home,” Levian said with a s
“Here we are,” Levian said as he stopped the car in front of a building. It was not big like the family mansion of the Smith family, however, it did not lose in the terms of architecture and design. Levian drove the car inside the gate. Sherry stretched her neck as far as she could to enjoy the beauty of the house. Compared to the big mansion, Sherry felt this building felt more like a real home. Holding her two small bags, Sherry jumped out of the car. Moving into a new house with Chris after her marriage was her small dream. However, here she was, married to a man she had just met and moved into his house. So, at this moment she was consumed by a bitter-sweet feeling. Seeing her standing there in a daze, Levian nudged her. “Why aren’t you walking in?” Although his voice had the usual coldness, his question was neither overbearing nor filled with displeasure. Instead, there was a hint of worry and gentleness in it. “You don’t like it?” Coming back to her senses, she turned to
Levian was not particular about who he married as long as it did not affect his work and life. Finding girls was not a problem, at least for him. With just a single gesture from his finger, countless girls were ready to throw themselves to his feet. Yet, he did not want to settle on just anyone for marriage even if there was no love. The first time he met Sherry in that parking lot, he was slightly angered but more so amused by her. Later knowing the things that were happening in her life, he knew he was going to get a great show to watch. It was just a slight interest, one that he was sure would disappear with time. But! he underestimated her charm. The more he was around her, the more he realized he had yet to see everything about her. It was not until today that he realized he could have lost Sherry forever, he came to terms with his feeling. Countless times, he wished to turn back time so that he could stop the murderer from stepping into her apartment. He wanted nothing mo
“Aren’t you gonna sit?” Levian asked seeing her standing there as still as a statue. “Uh, right,” Sherry nodded absentmindedly as she made her way toward the chair. A smile flashed on his face when he saw her docile appearance.After that, he pulled the nearest chair and took a seat right next to her.Meanwhile, biting her lip, Sherry observed the food on the table. The pain on her bottom lips made her realize that she was indeed not dreaming. Her pupils darted back and forth between the man and the food, finally accepting the truth in front of her. Her eyes wandered to the pairs of beautiful hands that had long and slender fingers.Never in her wildest dream, would she have known those hands knew to do something else other than working on laptops and signing documents? And it was even a perfection!God is truly favoring him! Sherry thought inwardly and finally rested her frantic eyes.All this while, Levian was observing her face, feeling amused as her expression shifted in a matt
With a darkened face, Ron looked at Levian and said, “Boss, they have started to take action.”Levian noticed the graveness in his tone however, there was no sign of panic on his face. Rather he looked like he had been prepared for this all along. “It was about time they got anxious,” Levian pulled forward the file and spoke. Although he had been busy with Sherry’s matter for the past few days, he did not overlook his personal problems. The project he was interested in was a project costing hundreds of millions. JKM company was a foreign company that wanted to establish its branch here. However, it was not easy to get a strong foothold in a new place and new market. Hence, they had opened the cooperation to the one capable of handling it. Levian’s company was one of the few who made the final list. However, another company was eyeing the project at the same time. It was none other than the Marton Family, one of the families with the largest network. The old master of the family ha
After what just happened, Sherry did not have the mood to sleep anymore. Putting aside her quilts, she walked out of bed. Wrapping a shawl around her body, she exited the room only to notice that the light in the study room was still on.‘Is he still working?’ Sherry frowned as she walked towards the study room. He had been inside the study the entire day. She had heard rumors indicating that the man was married to his business.It seemed like it was true. If he is already married to business, then am I the homewrecker here? Sherry was stunned by her own thoughts.Standing at the door, she peered inside, only to find Levian working on his laptop. He seemed focused.Sherry stood where she was while her eyes were set on the man. No wonder people say men look the best when working hard. Sherry involuntarily smiled looking at the man who was engrossed in his work. Leaning her body against the door frame, Sherry gazed at the man.There was a harmonious silence in the room.“Had enough of
