Chapter 2281
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

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.
