In the next few hours, Naya stayed at the door of the intensive care unit and never left. After another hour, Daniel’s mother finally left. As soon as she left, Naya immediately took out her mobile phone and called Chloe, but after several calls, Chloe still did not answer.Naya could not sit still anymore. When she was about to call again, Chloe took the initiative to call her back.She answered the call without hesitation and asked, “Why didn’t you answer your calls or reply to my messages? Where have you been? Do you know that something bad has happened?”Chloe, who was on the other end, was immediately scolded and questioned by Naya. It took a few seconds before she answered in a daze.“What? Who are you? Are you Naya? I was out playing and my phone ran out of battery. Why are you so urgently looking for me?”“Have you been drinking too much? Where the hell are you? Don’t you know that something bad has happened?”“What's the matter? Let’s talk when I wake up. I haven't sle
Chloe suddenly shuddered. Then, she hurriedly put on her clothes and went to open the door.She thought it was room service, but when the door opened, she saw two policemen.Chloe was stunned. She thought the police might be here to investigate her sleeping with a strange man in the hotel after she had too much fun in the bar last night.However, this was very common nowadays, so Chloe did not worry too much about it.“Officers, what's the matter? I don’t think sleeping with the temporary boyfriend I found in the bar last night is illegal, right?”The police had no intention of going around in circles with Chloe at all. They made their intentions clear in a straightforward manner, “Chloe Tawney, you’re suspected of being involved in a criminal case. Please go back with us immediately to assist in the investigation.”Upon hearing this, Chloe felt ill.She felt as if all of her energy had been drained all at once. It took her a few seconds to react. “No, no, what criminal case am
Naya did not want anything to go wrong at this crucial juncture, so she deliberately pretended to persuade Chloe.“Didn’t I tell you that we shouldn’t do something like this? But you persuaded me, saying that it's okay and no one will find out. You also promised me that you wouldn’t implicate me. Now that the police have found you, they’ll come to look for me too when the time comes. Even though I didn’t do anything, perhaps I’ll still be implicated by you.”After listening to Naya's complaints, Chloe did not think much of them. Instead, she said in a panic, “I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I just wanted money…”She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She wanted to tell Naya that she did not get anyone to do anything to the car, but she was afraid that she would offend Naya and have to pay back the money. When that happened, she would have trouble from both sides.Maybe Naya could still rely on her connections to protect her in this situation.Hence, she jus
When Daniel's mother saw Madeline and Ava looking behind her, she turned back curiously. She was a little surprised when she saw the two policemen.“Officers, what's the matter? Who are you looking for?”Daniel's mother asked with a perplexed expression. Then, something seemed to click in her head. She suddenly pointed at Ava.“You're here to arrest this woman, aren't you? My son got into an accident because he drove her car!”Madeline was utterly speechless when she saw Mrs. Graham’s actions, but she was sure the police were not looking for Ava.Sure enough, the next second, the police looked at Naya who was standing beside Daniel's mother. They asked with a serious expression, “Are you Naya Mendez?”Upon seeing this, Daniel's mother was even more surprised. “Y-You’re looking for Naya? What did Naya do?”Naya ignored Mrs. Graham’s confused and shocked expression when she saw that.She had already expected the police to come to look for her, but she did not expect them to be so
As Madeline said that, she shifted her sharp gaze to Naya's face.“That means the person that tampered with the brakes of the car was trying to murder my friend.”Madeline's use of the word ‘murder’ was no exaggeration.After listening to Madeline's analysis, Ava felt a chill run down her spine.It turned out that it was Naya and Chloe who wanted to harm her again.This time, they even wanted to take her life!Ava looked silently in Daniel's direction with heartache. Suddenly, she clenched her fists and rushed in front of Naya. She grabbed Naya’s collar, not allowing Naya to react and break free. After that, Ava immediately slapped her across the face. Slap!“Ah!”Naya screamed in pain and covered her face subconsciously.“Naya Mendez, you despicable rat! You evil woman!”Ava cursed.The police and Madeline stepped forward at the same time to pull Ava away, while Daniel's mother went up to defend Naya.“How dare you slap Naya, you bringer of misfortune?!”“So what if I s
Daniel's mother was frozen in place when she saw that everyone had gone.Knowing that the car accident was a deliberate attempt, she felt even more resentful.However, she still insisted that this matter was not related to Naya. Naya was so good and often complimented her, pleased her, and would also give her luxury gifts from time to time.Then, Daniel's mother paused, recalling what Ava just said.Were all those luxury goods that Naya gave her fakes and counterfeits?Daniel's mother’s heart was racing. She wanted to go back immediately to look for the gifts Naya gave her and do an appraisal, but she was still worried about Daniel. Hence, she stayed at the door of the intensive care unit for now.Inside the police station.Naya was taken directly into the interrogation room while Madeline and Ava were waiting in the hall.Upon seeing that Ava was in a bad mood, Madeline pulled her to sit down on the chair.Ava had remained silent the whole journey here and she was still not s
“Miss Long, we need to ask you some questions related to the car accident. Please come with me.”The young police officer showed the way.Madeline followed Ava to one of the offices.Instead of being questioned like Naya, the police explained the cause of the accident to them and asked if Ava had any arguments with Chloe and Naya before this.Ava did not hide anything, nor did she exaggerate what had happened. She just told the police the facts.“Yes, I did have some grievances with them, but I thought everything was over. I really had no idea that they tampered with my car.”As she said that, Ava became a little emotional.“Officer, is there any evidence pointing that Naya instructed Chloe to tamper with the brakes of my car? My boyfriend just happened to drive my car, so that’s how he got into the accident. Otherwise, it would be me lying in the hospital now. Officer, this is murder! They were trying to murder me!”“Miss Long, please calm down first.”“Ava, don't be too emot
Ava and Madeline looked at Naya's confident face, finding it ridiculous.Moreover, they did not believe that Naya had nothing to do with this matter.However, at this moment, Naya swaggered out of the police station.“Officer, are you barking up the wrong tree? That woman just now must have something to do with this. There are no grievances between Chloe and me. I only have grievances with that woman named Naya.”Ava emphasized to the police officer in front of her.“Sorry, Miss Long. We act per the procedures and evidence. According to the evidence we have so far, the car accident has nothing to do with Naya. From the evidence she provided, Chloe is indeed the mastermind of this accident.”“May I know what evidence she provided to prove that Chloe is the mastermind?” Madeline could not help but wonder. “Isn't it strange that the evidence she provided can prove that Chloe is the mastermind? Did she know that she’d be exposed in advance so she prepared this piece of evidence to ge
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
