Arianna only shook her head. She did not seem relieved—instead, countless thoughts ran through her head. “No, no, something isn’t right.”
If Damian had suddenly appeared and told the police someone had framed him, that would make more sense. No one knew better than Arianna that Damian thought someone had framed him, and according to his character, he could not keep something to himself for such a long time.
Damian had disappeared for some time and reappeared just to surrender to the police. All this was so unusual. Arianna knew something was amiss when this bizarre incident happened. She feared it would ruin her plans.
“Nothing would go wrong, right?” Arianna’s underling frowned. “He has already confessed, so what else is there to verify? He was responsible for the project, so it’s only normal for him to take responsibility. Maybe you’re just overthinking, Ms. Tanner.”
“What do you know!” She reprimanded, “If it were that simple, why would I have gone through so much hassle to frame him? Where’s Nathaniel?”
“Mr. Hall has called in sick these past few days, so he’s not in the office now.”
“Fine. You can leave. Make sure to pay attention to information released by the police. Contact me as soon as you have more information,” Arianna instructed.
“Yes, Ms. Tanner.”
Arianna felt restless. There was something wrong, and she could feel it, but she could not tell what it was. Damian was not an intelligent guy and would not be able to think of such a detailed plan. Judging from his rash personality, he would not have confessed so honestly to the police if he thought someone had framed him.
