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
