After Jeremy said that, the entire conference room was so silent that only the sounds of breathing could be heard. Everyone present understood what Jeremy meant very clearly.The daughter of the Mendezes had offended Jeremy's wife. Therefore, the young master of Glendale came here to criticize Ethan.Ethan held the lawyer's letter from the Mendezes in his hand and frowned, his head aching.This unruly daughter had gotten into enough trouble recently. Ethan did not expect her to cause trouble again. How great! This time, she even provoked the person who was the most difficult to deal with in Glendale.Ethan was a well-behaved businessman, and he was also kind in dealing with others. This time, he hoped that he would be able to make this issue on hand sound less serious and then reduce it to nothing at all. With that approach in mind, he was very polite and apologetic to Jeremy.“Mr. Whitman, I'm really sorry for causing trouble to you and your wife. My daughter has been arrogant
She looked at Jeremy for a few seconds before striding over to Ethan's side.“Daddy, why is he here? What is he doing in Mendez Group’s conference room?” Naya used a puzzled tone and reached out to hold Ethan's hand with a hint of pamperedness.Ethan's face sank as he pushed Naya's outstretched hand away. “How dare you ask Mr. Whitman why he’s here? Ask yourself what you’ve done!”Naya had never seen her father get so angry with her, so she was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she realized there were so many people watching in the conference room. She felt embarrassed and ashamed. Hence, her temper started to rise again.“What’s wrong? What have I done?”“You’re still playing dumb?!” Ethan's eyes widened in anger as he turned back to pick up the lawyer's letter on the conference table. “Look at what you’ve done!”Ethan did not have the heart to throw the lawyer's letter directly on Naya, so he shoved it into Naya's hands instead.Naya grabbed it and saw it instantly.
Jeremy did not beat about the bush either. His cold gaze looked straight into Naya's panicked eyes as he retorted ruthlessly.“Do you know the meaning of the word ‘victim’? How thick is your face to be able to say such a thing, huh?”“...” Naya's cheeks heated up when she heard the words. Embarrassment overwhelmed her instantly. Naya tried to explain and rebut, but she heard Jeremy's cold voice again.“I think everyone present, except for Mr. Mendez, knows exactly what’s the truth of the matter that went viral on the internet. You can't just rely on your one-sided statement to clear your name. My wife was right to say that you’re a cruel and despicable woman. Not only are you cruel and despicable, but you’re also very insidious.”Jeremy did not show any respect for her at all, and his eyes were even sharper now.“Naya, you know best in your heart who’s the real mastermind behind Daniel’s car accident. Don't try to argue. I, Jeremy Whitman, promise that one day, you’ll end up in
She was like a princess at home since her childhood. Her parents were usually reluctant to even criticize her, but now, her father actually slapped her!The reason why he did it was actually because of Jeremy.“Jeremy Whitman and Eveline Montgomery!”Naya gritted her teeth and muttered these two names.As she was feeling annoyed, Naya saw Jeremy drive past the gate.His resolute, cold, and handsome side profile sent Naya into a trance for a while. Then, her anger turned into jealousy in an instant.She knew that Jeremy took this trip today for Madeline, so the reason why she got slapped today was actually Madeline. The more Naya thought about it, the angrier she became. She would never forgive Ava and Madeline!Naya would not let herself suffer from this loss.Madeline did not know that Jeremy went to Mendez Group to deal with this matter, and Jeremy did not mention it to Madeline either.In his opinion, it was a matter of course for a husband to stand up for his wife. He di
Naya's attitude was extremely bad. After speaking, she turned around and wanted to close the door, leaving Ava standing outside. Ava did not bother to argue with Naya. She raised her hand and patted the door lightly.“Wait.”Naya frowned impatiently. “Ava, stop humiliating yourself. You—”“Naya, you don't want to see me, and I hate seeing people like you too. But I think we have a common goal, and that’s Danny’s speedy recovery.” Ava's expression was calm and indifferent. Her tone was calm as well.Her eyes flicked across Naya's puzzled face, trying to catch a glimpse of Daniel in the ward. However, her view was blocked by Naya.Ava did not feel much about Naya’s dirty tricks, but at the same time, she did not want to talk too much nonsense with such people.She retracted her hand and slowly handed the thermos in her hand.“I learned from the doctor that Danny can have some soup. This is the chicken soup I made for Danny in the morning. It is very nourishing and will help Da
Ava pursed her lips and heard criticisms from all around her.She slowly loosened her clenched fists. Then, she found cleaning tools to clean up the chicken soup that had spilled all over the place before leaving.Half a month passed.The weather had also turned a lot warmer. It was spring, so flowers were blooming. Everything looked vibrant in this season.For more than half a month, Ava had not been able to see Daniel even once. Today, she heard the news that Daniel was going to be discharged from the hospital. Ava hurriedly got up in the morning to wash up and dressed up nicely, hoping that Daniel could remember her now.Madeline drove Ava to the hospital. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw Daniel's mother and Naya beside Daniel. They were walking toward the MPV parked in front of the gate.Under the sun, Daniel's warm and gentle face looked to be in good spirits. Although he had not fully recovered, Ava was very happy at the progress he had made.She picked up the
“Danny.”Ava raised a slight smile while calling out Daniel's name affectionately and naturally.Daniel looked at this warm and gentle smile, a subtle feeling quietly surging in his heart.He did not know how to describe this feeling, but when he looked at Ava's smile, he felt very comfortable and motivated.“Dan, hurry up. Get in the car so we can go home. Don't make Naya wait too long.” Daniel's mother urged impatiently from in front of them.Daniel glanced sideways at his mother, indicating that he understood. Then, he turned his head to meet Ava's gaze again.“I’ve forgotten a lot of things.” Daniel parted his lips, and his tone was very gentle. “The only thing I remember now is my name. They showed me some photos and videos. They also told me some things. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I think you should not come look for me for the time being.”After Daniel said these words, the wind threatened to blow away the smile on Ava’s face. Even so, she maintained her graceful smile
Daniel nodded lightly as if to show his agreement. However, the sight of Ava’s carefree back view lingered in his mind.After Ava followed Madeline into the car, the smile on her face no longer remained.In fact, she was not free and easy at all. She was just forcing herself to be brave.Madeline also understood what Ava was thinking now. Although she had some suggestions, she still respected Ava's thoughts more.Ava knew that she could not do anything right now. Daniel's mother and Naya were colluding together. It was not easy for her to deal with them. She could go head-on with Naya, but Daniel's mother was his mother, after all. She had the right to control her son, but what about her?She was originally his fiancée, but Daniel could not remember her now. What did that make her?Not long after, Ava got out of the car at the side of the road. Madeline was worried to leave Ava on her own, but Ava insisted on being alone. Hence, Madeline could only leave first.Ava walked aimles
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
