Raegan knew that she heard it right, but when the word left Ava’s mouth, Raegan felt like she was dreaming.“Mom,” she said.To Raegan, that word felt like a dream.While Raegan was still in a daze, Ava spoke again.“I'm really thankful for you. Thank you for taking care of me and Danny all this while. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”Ava's attitude was sincere.Raegan felt tears sting the corners of her eyes. She was a calm person, but right now, she was so excited that she could not even say a word.“T-This is what I should do,” Raegan stammered a little when she spoke, her overly excited emotions making her beating heart tremble even more.“Ava, are you willing to forgive me?” Raegan could not help asking after a while.Ava looked at Raegan's hopeful eyes and lowered her eyes in disappointment.“There's nothing to be forgiven. I just know that seeing you at this moment makes me feel at ease.” Ava expressed her true feelings.Raegan was very satisfied despite not
Naya was standing behind the door of the ward. Upon seeing the scene outside the door through the small window, she rolled her eyes unhappily. Unexpectedly, her provocation just now had led to Ava and Raegan’s reconciliation.This was beyond her expectation.Naya gritted her teeth and looked back at Daniel, who was unresponsive on the hospital bed. She felt distressed and also irritable.‘Please don't blame me, Dan.‘I didn't mean to hurt you. If you want to blame someone, blame Ava.‘We were childhood sweethearts and we’re a match made in heaven. It was Ava, an outsider, who suddenly intervened in our relationship.‘If it weren’t for this woman, I believe we would have already gotten married.‘Ava should have died. You’re supposed to be safe and sound.’“Sigh, I wonder when Dan will wake up. It's been so many days and he's still like this.”Naya came back to her senses when she heard Mrs. Graham’s worries. Then, she put on her good girl act and walked over to comfort her.
Naya held the doorknob, and it did not look like she was going to open the door completely to let others in. However, when she heard that the person knocking on the door was Madeline, the arrogant look on her face dissipated in an instant.“Mrs. Whitman, it’s you.” Naya curled her lips while pretending to be calm. However, all she could think about was what Madeline and Jeremy had found in the parking lot.She still did not know what Madeline picked up at the time.Madeline returned a faint smile. “Yes, it’s me, Miss Mendez. I have something important to ask you.”Madeline said and glanced at the ward. “Come out and talk. Let Dan rest.“What can’t be said here? Why does she have to go out to talk?” Daniel's mother came over with a displeased expression, her eyes also filled with doubts.“Mrs. Whitman, you’re not trying to deceive us and have some irrelevant people come in by saying that, right?”Seeing that Daniel's mother was still talking to Naya at this time, Madeline raised
“Ava, don't worry. Dan will get better and the culprit will be caught soon,” Madeline said while fixing her gaze on Naya.“Miss Mendez, I heard that you were called by the police for questioning yesterday. Can you tell me what the police asked you?” Madeline asked with a smile.When Naya heard this, she immediately felt that something was wrong but she did not want these people to gain any clues. Therefore, she pretended to be confused. “Mrs. Whitman, this involves the police’s investigation. I don’t think you have the right to ask me about it.”“Indeed, I don't have the right to ask such a question. But my husband does.”As soon as Madeline finished speaking, Jeremy walked up behind her.Jeremy was parking the car earlier, so Madeline came to the ward first to look for Naya.Daniel's mother became more and more confused when she heard that. Then, she glanced at Jeremy who was getting closer and closer. “When did Jeremy become a police officer? Eveline, are you fooling us?”“I d
After Madeline said that, everyone aside from Jeremy was stunned.“W-What? Eveline, what are you saying?” Daniel’s mother was confused. Then, she scoffed. “Eveline, do you know what you’re talking about? Are you saying that Naya was the one who caused Dan’s accident?”“That’s right. She did it,” Madeline answered quickly and affirmatively.When Ava heard Madeline’s firm answer once again, she could not keep calm anymore. “Maddie, are you telling the truth? Naya was the one who tampered with my car? Not the thug Chloe hired?”Madeline shook her head softly. “It wasn’t that thug.” Her piercing gaze landed on Naya’s face. “Chloe did hire a thug to break into your car, but he only got into your car and stole some valuables. He didn’t tamper with the brakes.”“So, the person who did it was Naya. She wanted me dead, right?” Ava started to get emotional.“Yes, it was her. I can vouch for what I said.” Madeline walked in front of Naya. She could tell that Naya’s expression was very unnat
“Some time ago, Miss Long’s boyfriend, who’s also my childhood sweetheart Daniel, got into a serious accident. Do you know what’s interesting?”Naya paused as she said that and lifted her arrogant eyebrows.“They’re saying that I caused the accident. I have nothing to do with that accident at all but they’re unjustly blaming me using their powerful backgrounds. They’re even trying to—”“Naya, you don’t have to quibble anymore. Since I came to look for you, it means I’m very confident.”Madeline calmly interrupted Naya and turned around to look at the crowd that had started to gather around them.“I’m sure everyone has heard about the serious accident that took place near the big supermarket recently. The person who got hurt is Daniel Graham, the eldest son of the Grahams, one of the four richest families in Glendale. Just now, Miss Mendez said I’m falsely accusing her and she has nothing to do with the car accident. I want to emphasize that the accident was a deliberate murder att
Even though Daniel’s mother denied it, she still wanted to know the results of the appraisal.She was very dissatisfied because that appraisal expert did not tell her at once when she got the results but instead, she asked Madeline to send the report to her.Naya’s eyes also unconsciously landed on the papers Madeline was holding. This time, she had no idea whether Madeline was deliberately faking this.Madeline did not give Naya the chance to guess either, and she did not let Daniel’s mother feel conflicted for too long. She immediately took the papers in her hand and showed the results to them.The eyes of Daniel’s mother widened as the items listed on the papers were all the items she sent for appraisal. There were 33 items, not one item more or one item less.Then, she noticed the results of the appraisal. What shocked her was that there was not a single ‘authentic’ remark on the report. All of them were fake!Of course, Naya saw the results as well. Her face was just like Da
The police were stern. Of course, they were not joking with Naya. When Naya heard the words ‘attempted murder’ and could not keep her cool anymore.Especially when the people around her were looking at her with doubt. She was feeling more and more flustered now.“W-What’s happening? What did they say? Naya is related to an attempted murder case? Who did she want to kill? Who was killed?” Daniel’s mother was confused.“She wanted to kill Ava but the person who got into the accident was Ava’s boyfriend, Daniel,” the police officer told her the whole situation.When Daniel’s mother heard this, she immediately understood what was going on. However, she still did not believe it.“I understand what you mean. You’re trying to tell me that Naya is the one who tampered with that woman’s car, right?” Daniel’s mother pointed at Ava. It was obvious that she was still siding with Naya. “What evidence do you have that points to Naya being the one who tampered with the car?”When Naya saw tha
