The gray sky looked so deserted and hazy without the golden halo of the sunset.Madeline could not help but think of the scene where she was wrongfully imprisoned. Did she still have to watch as right and wrong became distorted like this? In addition to that, this was happening around her. Ava and Daniel were her good friends, so she had no reason to just be a bystander.Madeline told Jeremy about it after returning home. Jeremy frowned.“It’s indeed strange. Naya was obviously the one who did it but the police let her go so easily,” Jeremy said with a faintly sarcastic smile. “There are really many gray areas in this world.”“Jeremy, do you mean—”“Linnie, don't worry. Since this incident happened under my nose, I won’t let it go into any gray areas. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”Jeremy held Madeline's hand, and his gentle eyes were filled with endless doting and caring.“It makes me feel so distressed to see you running around these past few days because of this incident.”Ma
Jeremy’s assistant, Ken, quickly looked into this thug’s connections and relationships as per Jeremy’s orders.After he found out, Jeremy coincidentally arrived at the company. Ken respectfully handed the information he gathered to Jeremy and reported it to him clearly.“Mr. Whitman, I’ve already looked into everything. This thug's parents are in the countryside, and he has one younger sister who works in Glendale. His family has not met any strangers in recent days and their accounts have not received any transactions from unknown sources.”After listening to Ken's report, Jeremy frowned slightly.He was not very satisfied with the results of this investigation. According to his speculation, Naya should have paid off the thug to bear the crime but it did not seem to be the case. However, Jeremy still thought that there was something wrong with this. When he was about to investigate deeper, Madeline arrived.Madeline looked like she was in a hurry as she ran straight to Jeremy.
Compared to her bright and beautiful image on the internet, Chloe could only be described as dull and haggard now. She had completely lost her brilliance from before.She and the thug stood on the dock with their heads down, both of them looking listless and desolate.Since Chloe had admitted that she did hire the thug and the thug also admitted to tampering with the brakes, they were quickly convicted.However, after she was convicted and knew that she would be imprisoned for the next seven years, Chloe raised her head suddenly. She could not keep her cool.“I want to appeal! I have to appeal!” Chloe yelled hysterically. “I only pretended to promise Naya to get someone to tamper with Ava's car, but I told this thug not to do it! I didn't know that he would really do it! I’m not the mastermind, and the car accident has nothing to do with me. I’m innocent!”“Silence!” The judge hit the gavel. “Defendant, please calm down.”“How can I be calm?” Chloe roared. “I'm not guilty at all.
Seeing that Ava's mood was not right, Madeline stepped forward worriedly. “Ava, what happened? Why are you crying?”Ava fell into Madeline's arms and hugged her tightly. “Maddie…”“Ava...:” Madeline did not know what was going on. She just hugged Ava tightly and stroked her shoulder to comfort her. “What happened? Stop crying.”Naya stood by with a puzzled face. She was still complacent about this victory a moment ago, but now, she was also curious about what had happened to Ava.However, Naya felt great seeing Ava so sad and crying.Before she could feel happy for long, she suddenly heard Ava crying with excitement, “Maddie, Danny's awake! He's awake!”‘What?‘Dan is awake?’Naya's eyes widened in amazement, and after getting this information, she immediately ran out.Madeline was also full of surprises at the moment. She did not care about Naya at all.She held Ava's hand tightly, and their joyful eyes met.“Really? Is Dan really awake?”“Yeah!” Ava nodded again and again
It was because Daniel loved Ava.Ava held back her tears and approached Daniel step by step. Her heart beat more enthusiastically and wildly with every step closer to him.She looked at his handsome and fair face under the lights. Although she had lost a lot of weight, the gentle look in her eyes was still the same.He was also looking at her, and although he did not speak, he was still able to leave an impact on her heartbeat.Ava could not express the joy and excitement in her heart. “Danny.” Ava finally called out Daniel's name, her voice trembling slightly. “Danny, it's great that you finally woke up.”Ava leaned over and squeezed Daniel's hand tightly.This grasp seemed to surprise Daniel very much. He even reflexively pulled his hand back the moment Ava clenched him tightly.Ava was stunned by Daniel's action, and so was Madeline, not to mention Daniel's parents and Naya.Daniel was clearly resisting Ava.However, how was that possible?“Danny?” Ava looked at Daniel ine
Naya had come unbeknownst to them, and she was bringing a bowl of chicken soup that was meant for Daniel.Daniel's right arm was still wrapped with lots of gauze, so he could not exert much force. He just looked at Naya and said, “Thank you.”Naya quickly showed a shy smile. “Dan, why are you being so polite to me? We grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. We've been through all kinds of ups and downs together. Plus, I'm your fiancée now, so I have to take care of you.”Madeline and Ava heard what Naya said to Daniel. The fire in their hearts burst out at the same time.Naya was lying through her teeth and saying lies to Daniel, who was now an amnesiac. Her motives and intentions were too obvious.However, when Madeline and Ava were about to enter the ward, Daniel's mother suddenly appeared in front of them.While Ava and Madeline were stopped outside, Daniel and Naya, who was sitting by the bed, looked over.Compared to her previous impatient attitude, Mrs. Graham now
Naya also went along with Mrs. Graham’s act by showing a sad and conflicted expression. “Forget it, Mrs. Graham. We won’t mention this person in the future. I just want to live a quiet life with Dan.”“Okay, we won't talk about her anymore. If she dares to pester you again, I'll get bodyguards to kick her out.” Daniel's mother used this topic to put forth her ideas.Upon hearing this, Daniel’s heart felt uncomfortable. He frowned and did not drink the chicken soup that Naya brought. Instead, he seriously emphasized, “If she comes to me next time, let me talk to her. Don't use such violent means to drive her away.”Daniel's mother and Naya were stunned for a moment, feeling that Daniel still had some subconscious pity and love for Ava.Daniel's mother felt the need to make a swift decision on this. Hence, her face sank. “Dan, you’re too soft-hearted. You shouldn’t give any chances to women like her. If you talk to her nicely, she’ll become very arrogant. Plus, if you really agree to
They did not expect Madeline to retort like this. Daniel's mother, who was pretending to be calm and collected, could not hold back her emotions all of a sudden.However, even though Daniel's mother was angry, she still knew that she could not fight head-on with Madeline. Although the Grahams also were a big family and had a big business, the Whitmans and the Montgomeries were now bound by marriage. It would not do her any good to offend Madeline. Therefore, she just rolled her eyes at Ava.“Ava, are you so desperate to marry into a wealthy family? There are so many good men in the world, so why do you have to insist on being with Dan? I've already told you so clearly. Why won't you listen to me?”Daniel's mother glared at Ava furiously, her tone getting more and more aggressive.“Listen to me. I only compromised and agreed with your and Dan’s relationship at the time for Dan’s sake. I had no idea that such a thing would happen to him not long after I gave my agreement. I got someo
