Chapter 17 An Oral Agreement

"I see.

Can you let go of me first?" Daryl asked with a frown.

Zack grabbed her so hard that she wondered if he wanted to hurt her.

Zack loosened his grip on her and eyed her coldly. "Is there anything else that you want?"

"There is. I hope you can transfer my mother to a hospital abroad."

She wanted to transfer her mother abroad. As long as she was here, Leon would have the chance to hurt her. She didn't want to risk that possibility. "Okay," he replied curtly.

Daryl thought deeply some more. She told Zack that she wished to return to the entertainment industry. He was the most influential man in D City. If he could help her, she wouldn't have to worry about her future anymore. Candida used Daryl's resources to defeat her; now Daryl was going to stage a comeback.

Zack wasn't exactly stingy when it came to his resources, but he had another plan. He raised his brows at Daryl and uttered, "I don't have any problems if you want to act again. However, I have other conditions." She met his eyes with a deep frown. "What do you mean by that?" "We can talk about that later."

As a cunning man, he shouldn't set his trap too soon. That would be a careless move.

It was already too late when Daryl realized that she had just exposed her weakness to him. He was a powerful man, how could she even put up a fight with him?

With a sigh of resignation, she agreed to him.

They reached an oral agreement. They would register their marriage. In front of others, they would act like strangers; she would serve as Bennie's nanny to take care of him at home.

It would only last for two years.

It was already at an ungodly hour when they finished their discussion. She went inside the ward to sleep while Zack would stay on the sofa outside.

Daryl lied in the bed and stared at the ceiling blankly. She couldn't sleep at all. Not after the image of Zack with his long legs over that tiny sofa occupied her mind.

She rubbed her temple as she shook the thought off her mind.
