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

“But, how did your brooch get there?”Naya was stumped by Madeline’s question. At that moment, she was speechless. Her jaw dropped open and she did not know what to say.Yeah, how did her brooch get there? Why was it in Ava’s parking space downstairs of Ava’s apartment?Naya's train of thought was disrupted at that moment. She did not know what to say anymore. However, if she kept silent, they would think that she was tacitly admitting to this.She would not allow herself to be brought away like this.“Heh.” Naya scoffed after she came back to her senses. “Is it strange for my belonging to have dropped there? I walked past that place recently and wanted to have a cup of coffee all of a sudden, so I stopped my car in the parking lot to go to a cafe nearby. I must have dropped my brooch then.”“Then may I know which cafe you went to?” the police officer asked.Naya rolled her eyes and continued to explain, “I stopped the car and took a few steps. Suddenly, I didn’t want to drink c

She remembered that when she bought this brooch, it was a limited edition and there were not many socialites or rich women in the upper class who owned it. Plus, there was a custom engraving at the back. How could it not be hers?As she was thinking to herself, Naya suddenly turned the brooch to look at the engraving. To her surprise, the initials engraved on the back were actually Mrs. Graham’s name.Naya was stunned.This brooch was actually the fake she gave to Daniel's mother.Daniel's mother also reacted when she looked at the brooch. “I have this brooch too. It looks like the one you gave me back then.”“That's right, Mrs. Graham. This brooch is the fake Naya gave you back then. I asked for it from my appraiser friend.”Madeline explained with a smile, her sharp eyes falling on Naya's bewildered face.“Miss Mendez, it’s probably because you had a guilty conscience at the time, so you didn't notice that this brooch is actually the fake you gave to Mrs. Graham. You didn't ev

Madeline rushed to the police station as soon as she learned of the news.When she was about to go in, she saw Naya swaggering out of the door followed by an impeccably dressed man who seemed to be a lawyer.Naya also spotted Madeline at this time. She raised a smug smile and walked to Madeline step by step.“This is expected of you, Mrs. Whitman. You’re really well-informed. I think you must be very unhappy to see me standing here now, right? But I’m very happy to see you.”Naya's tone was full of irony, and the corners of her mouth were raised in a complacent smile.“I’ve long said that the police are fair and impartial. I’m innocent and can’t be slandered by someone who claims to have found evidence. Mrs. Whitman, I understand that you want to help your friend, but the fact is that I didn’t do it.”Naya's smile became smugger and smugger. She was also looking at Madeline with provocation.“Mrs. Whitman, you must be wondering what's going on, right? If you have any questions,

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
