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
“What? Ava actually reported me? How could she have evidence against me? How is it possible?” Chloe strongly denied it.Naya glanced at Chloe impatiently. “I don't know how she reported you. Anyway, the police have sent people to arrest you, and I was called to the police station just now to assist in the investigation. I saw it with my own eyes, so you'd better run away now.”“Run away? W-Where can I run to?” Chloe turned pale in panic. Finally, she turned her eyes to Naya and asked her for help, “Naya, you have to help me. I did this for you—”“For me? You did this for yourself and money, didn’t you?”Naya did not let Chloe continue and interrupted decisively.“Speaking of which, I’m also a victim in this accident. You encouraged me to teach Ava a lesson at the time, but now, things have turned out this way. I didn't do anything, but I'm going to be implicated by you. I'm likely to be accused of obstructing justice. I’ll be in so much trouble!”Upon hearing this, Chloe looked e
