Slap!
“An! ?
Naya screamed in pain and covered her face subconsciously.
“Naya Mendez, you despicable rat! You evil woman!”
Ava cursed.
The police and Niamh stepped forward at the same time to pull Ava away, while Daniel’s mother went up to defend Naya.
“How dare you slap Naya, you bringer of misfortune?!”
“So what if I slapped this scumbag?” Ava could not hold herself back anymore.
“You…” Daniel’s mother glared at her. “Who are you to slap her? You’re the one who caused Dan’s accident!”
“Shut up! That’s enough!” Ava yelled at Daniel’s mother. Daniel’s mother was also stunned. She seemed to be shocked by Ava’s sudden burst of anger.
Niamh had never seen Ava so angry before. Her eyes were red with anger, but at the same time, there was also sadness.
She looked like she was covered with flames and anyone would be burned if they got close to her. Her anger was surging violently.
“TP ve always known that you weren’t bright, but I didn’t expect Dan’s mother to be so idiotic!”
?…” Mrs. Graham’s face turned red. She felt very embarrassed. “What nonsense are you spewing? How dare you say that about me?”
“Am I wrong? You’re an absolute idiot to defend such a sinister and hypocritical rat. She instigated someone to tamper with my car and accidentally hurt Daniel in a freak combination of factors. However, you’re here defending her. Why are you even defending her? Is it because she occasionally buys you some fake and counterfeit jewelry?”
?..” After she was scolded by Ava, Daniel’s mother felt very ashamed.
However, Naya wanted to use this chance to pretend to be a good person and side with Daniel’s mother.
“Ava, you’ve gone overboard. It’s one thing for you to slander me saying that I instigated others to murder you, but how could you scold Mrs. Graham too? Ava, you—”
“You shut your mouth too!” Ava glared at Naya in an imposing manner. “Naya, you’d better not waste your breath and your acting skills to try to get in between me and Dan’s mother so you can rid yourself of the suspicions on you. Listen to me. You can’t escape this because you did it. You people are the ones who hurt Dan!”
“…” When Naya saw Ava’s firm gaze, her heart skipped a beat. At that moment, she felt so guilty that she could not speak.
A few doctors and nurses came over because of the noise. When they saw that this bunch of people was fighting because of a conflict, they warned them that they should not make so much noise in the hospital and they should leave.
Naya had to leave with the police now, and Ava followed after them without hesitation. “
Daniel’s mother was frozen in place when she saw that everyone had gone.
Knowing that the car accident was a deliberate attempt, she felt even more resentful.
However, she still insisted that this matter was not related to Naya. Naya was so good and often complimented her, pleased her, and would also give her luxury gifts from time to time.
Then, Daniel’s mother paused, recalling what Ava just said.
Were all those luxury goods that Naya gave her fakes and counterfeits?
Daniel’s mother’s heart was racing. She wanted to go back immediately to look for the gifts Naya gave her and do an appraisal, but she was still worried about Daniel. Hence, she stayed at the door of the intensive care unit for now.
Inside the police station.
Naya was taken directly into the interrogation room while Niamh and Ava were waiting in the hall.
Upon seeing that Ava was in a bad mood, Niamh pulled her to sit down on the chair.
Ava had remained silent the whole journey here and she was still not saying a word.
“Ava, do you have something you want to say? If you have anything you want to say, you don’t have to restrain your emotions. You can say anything in front of me.” Niamh comforted Ava, expressing her care.
Ava clenched her hands that were on her lap. She pursed her lips tightly, then her eyes turned red.
“It turns out that there are such inhumane demons in this world, and there are quite a number of them.” This sentence escaped Ava’s lips. It was evident how much anger she had in her heart at the moment.
“I’ve been alive for so many years and I can say that I’ve never done anything against my conscience. If I do something like that, I definitely wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep. But those people without a conscience can do such inhumane things without the slightest remorse. They just want to do whatever they can to achieve their goals.”
Niamh understood what Ava meant. She could understand this feeling all too well. She had also endured unjust accusations and torture from people like them.
However, she believed that only when she became tough and strong would those demons and ghouls not dare to approach her.
Niamh gently held Ava’s hand to give her warmth. “Ava, don’t try to understand such people’s hearts. It’s enough as long as we have a clear conscience.”
“But I don’t want to have a clear conscience now.” Ava was a little sulky. “Niamh, if Dan really falls into a vegetative state and he really can’t wake up again, I won’t just let those demons face the law. I’m going to retaliate against them. I want them to taste the pain that Dan suffered!” “Ava, don’t think like that.” Niamh held Ava’s hand tightly. “I believe I’ll see the day you and Dan get married. He’l] recover. With your care and encouragement, he won’t dare sleep for too long.”
After Niamh said that, Ava burst into tears. Niamh took out some tissue paper and wiped away the tears on Ava’s face.
“Don’t cry. If Dan can sense this, I’m sure he won’t want to see his cheerful and happy Ava crying for him.”
Ava heard what Niamh said. She sniffed and took the tissue to dry her tears.
When Niamh saw that Ava had stopped crying so pessimistically, she felt much relieved.
At this moment, a young police officer walked over and asked politely, “Which one of you is
Miss Ava Long?”
Ava stood up quickly. “Iam.”
“Miss Long, we need to ask you some questions related to the car accident. Please come with me.” The young police officer showed the way. Niamh followed Ava to one of the offices. Instead of being questioned like Naya, the police explained the cause of the accident to them and asked if Ava had any arguments with Chloe and Naya before this.
Ava did not hide anything, nor did she exaggerate what had happened. She just told the police the facts.
“Yes, I did have some grievances with them, but I thought everything was over. I really had no idea that they tampered with my car.” :
As she said that, Ava became a little emotional. “Officer, is there any evidence pointing that Naya instructed Chloe to tamper with the brakes of my car? My boyfriend just happened to drive my car, so that’s how he got into the accident. Otherwise, it would be me lying in the hospital now. Officer, this is murder! They were trying to murder me!” “Miss Long, please calm down first.”
“Ava, don’t be too emotional. The police will definitely give us a fair and just account of this matter. As long as Chloe and Naya did it, they’! definitely be punished.”
Niamh chimed in, patting Ava on the shoulder to reassure her.
“The two of them are indeed the suspects, but there’s no definite evidence that Naya instigated the murder. But you can rest assured that we already have a direction for the investigation. I believe there’ll be results soon.” The police officer assured Ava before asking Ava some more related questions.
More than ten minutes later, Niamh and Ava came out of the room together. At the same time, Naya came out from the room on the opposite side too.
Naya smiled when she saw Ava’s gloomy face. Then, she strode in front of Ava.
“Aren’t you disappointed? I’m not being detained because I never did anything wrong. No matter how hard the police look into me, they won’t find anything because I have a clear conscience.” Naya smiled brightly.
Ava knew that Naya was deliberately provoking her. She wanted to hold herself back but failed. “Naya, don’t be so pleased with yourself. The police just haven’t found any evidence to arrest you yet, but you would’ ve definitely left clues behind if you were the one who did it!”
“There’s no evidence at all because the police have already sent someone to arrest the person who really wants to murder you.” Naya looked confident.
Niamh and Ava froze for a moment. They looked at the police officer standing behind Naya. The police officer understood what Niamh and Ava meant. He nodded and replied, “Miss Naya just provided a very important piece of evidence to us, which is enough to prove that the person who tampered with Miss Ava’s car is Chloe Tawney. We’ve sent someone to arrest her. From the evidence provided by Miss Naya, Chloe is indeed the mastermind.”
After hearing the police’s answer, Niamh and Ava did not quite believe it. :
The grievances between Chloe and Ava were not enough to make Chloe want to get rid of Ava. However, Naya would have the motive to do something like this.
“What evidence?” Ava asked.
“We can’t disclose it at the moment,” the police officer replied.
Naya raised the corners of her lips slightly when she heard the words. As she was looking at Ava’s unwilling appearance, her smile became deeper. Then, she showed a sad look.
“I’m really heartbroken and sad that such a thing has happened to Dan. I didn’t expect Chloe to do such a thing on the spur of the moment to help me out either. Ava, you can’t wrong me anymore because I, Naya Mendez, am innocent!” ;
Ava and Niamh looked at Naya’s confident face, finding it ridiculous.
Moreover, they did not believe that Naya had nothing to do with this matter.
However, at this moment, Naya swaggered out of the police station.
“Officer, are you barking up the wrong tree? That woman just now must have something to do with this. There are no grievances between Chloe and m e. only have grievances with that woman named Naya.”
Ava emphasized to the police officer in front of her.
“Sorry, Miss Long. We act per the procedures and evidence. According to the evidence we have so far, the car accident has nothing to do with Naya. From the evidence she provided, Chloe is indeed the mastermind of this accident.”
“May I know what evidence she provided to prove that Chloe is the mastermind?” Niamh could not help but wonder. “Isn’t it strange that the evidence she provided can prove that Chloe is the mastermind? Did she know that she’d be exposed in advance so she prepared this piece of evidence to get rid of the suspicion on her?”
“Um…”
After hearing Niamh’s question, the police officer also showed a confused look.
“It sounds like there are still many doubts about this matter. I’ll report it to my superior. If there’s nothing else you need to take care of, you can leave first. We’ll follow the progress of this matter closely.”
