Married by Mistake – Chapter 2261
Madeline consoled her, knowing that Ava must be brooding over what Naya said not long ago.
“Ava, you mustn’t be influenced by what Naya said. The person at fault is the person who tampered with the car.”
After hearing what Madeline said, Ava started to cry even harder.
“Actually, what she said isn’t completely wrong. If I were the one who went out and not Dan, the person lying inside now would be me. It was Dan who saved me from this disaster.”
Ava raised her tearful eyes slightly. She tried her best to look at the man lying on the hospital bed through her blurred vision but she could not seem to see clearly. Daniel’s body was wrapped in a lot of gauzes, including his face and head. Ava could not stop her tears when she looked at Daniel in this state.
Madeline took out a tissue and wiped Ava’s tears. She kept saying comforting words to Ava again and again, but she knew it was useless. Ava would only feel better if Daniel’s condition improved.
After Madeline wiped Ava’s tears, she sat by her side and stayed with her.
Soon, Jeremy arrived. He figured that Madeline could not keep staying with Ava. If this continued, both of them would be exhausted. Of course, he was selfish and felt more distressed for Madeline.
From the corners of her eyes, Madeline noticed that someone was watching her from afar. She glanced sideways and met Jeremy’s deep eyes that were as gentle as water. Seeing that Ava had closed her eyes to take a nap out of exhaustion, she gently got up and walked to Jeremy while taking small steps.
They met each other’s gaze, affection and nostalgia flowing in their eyes.
“Jeremy, when did you arrive? Have you been standing here for a long time?”
Jeremy raised his hand to tuck the hair on Madeline’s face behind her ear. Then, he smiled and said, “I just arrived and didn’t want to go over to disturb you two since you look exhausted.”
Madeline looked back at Ava. “I’m fine, but Ava is really exhausted. She feels even more terrible now.”
“There are ways to treat Daniel. I’ve contacted several more authoritative professors in the field. They’ll take time out as soon as possible to check on Daniel’s situation.”
Jeremy’s answer made a look of glee appear on Madeline’s face instantly.
“Is it possible that Dan’s condition will improve?”
“I can’t guarantee that Daniel will get better, but at least we can have a little more hope.”
Madeline nodded. She figured that Jeremy was right. This was the only thing they could do now.
After Daniel’s mother went back, she immediately took out all the luxury gifts that Naya had previously given her.
Daniel’s father stood by and was confused. “What are you doing with your clothes and jewelry at this time?”
“Gosh, honey, look at this crystal. It really seems fake. Could it be that she has been using fake products to fool me all these years? If that’s the case, won’t I be utterly humiliated? I’ve worn these things to so many parties.”
The more Daniel’s mother spoke, the more she felt that something was wrong. She packed all the things that Naya had given her and sent them to the appraisal agency early the next morning. After that, she went straight to the hospital. However, after arriving at the hospital, Daniel’s mother did not see Daniel in the intensive care unit. Ava was not there either.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2262
She immediately felt uneasy. Daniel’s mother knew very well that no matter what, Ava would definitely stay by Daniel’s side. Now that they were both gone, it was very likely that something bad had happened to Daniel. Sure enough, Daniel’s mother stopped a nurse and learned that Daniel’s situation suddenly had a bad turn.
He was in the emergency room at the moment.
Daniel’s mother immediately felt tense and rushed to the emergency room. From afar, she spotted Ava, Madeline, and Jeremy waiting at the door with heavy expressions on their faces.
“What’s going on? What happened? What’s wrong with Dan?” Daniel’s mother asked loudly as she quickly walked toward the emergency room.
Madeline raised her eyes when she heard the noise. When she saw Daniel’s mother in a hurry, Madeline subconsciously moved in front of Ava and said coldly.
“There was a fluctuation in the machine’s reading just now. The doctor is now inside giving Dan a detailed diagnosis and treatment. The specific situation is still unclear.”
“A fluctuation? Which machine? Dan’s condition must have deteriorated and that’s why he’s in the emergency room.”
Daniel’s mother became nervous. The next second, she started to target Ava again.
“It’s all your fault! You made Dan like this! I shouldn’t have given in and agreed to let you date Dan back then!”
This made Madeline very uncomfortable. However, before she could speak, Jeremy quickly retorted.
“Instead of blaming the criminal who tampered with the car and caused the accident, you’re here blaming the person who loves your son wholeheartedly. Is there some thing wrong with your thinking?”
Daniel’s mother’s expression froze when she heard Jeremy scolding her. Just as she was thinking about what to say, she heard footsteps behind her. Daniel’s mother turned around, only to see two doctors in white coats and a few nurses hurriedly walking toward the emergency room. Her heart trembled, and she felt that something was not right.
“Doctors, has my son’s condition worsened? How is he doing now?”
“Madam, please make way.” The nurse reminded Daniel’s mother not to stop the doctor.
“Tell me what’s going on with my son first. Is he beyond rescue?”
“If you stop the doctor from going inside, then we won’t be able to tell you what’s going to happen,” the nurse replied.
Daniel’s mother was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she felt a force on her shoulders. Then, her whole body was pulled back by someone.
“Mrs. Graham, watch out.” Naya’s seemingly concerned voice came from behind, followed by a dissatisfied reproach.
“Ava, how could you pull at Mrs. Graham like this? She’ll fall.”
When Daniel’s mother heard what Naya said, she realized that it was Ava who pulled her. She turned back and glared at Ava. “You…”
“I really don’t want to waste my time arguing with you. Dan definitely doesn’t want to see me arguing with you. The doctor is inside now, so we’ll just wait here quietly for them to bring us news. Stop making trouble.” Ava said these words calmly before she turned around and walked to the corner. After that, she sat down without saying a word.
“Ava, you’re so good at acting. How could you say that to Mrs. Graham?” Naya continued to provoke her, saying, “It’s uncertain whether Dan will live or die right now and it’s all because of you. However, you’re talking to Mrs. Graham with that tone. Do you still have a conscience?”
Ava seemed to turn a deaf ear to Naya’s provocation. However, Madeline was not going to allow Naya to take the opportunity to trouble Ava again.
When she was about to speak up for Ava, Raegan showed up. She was overbearing. Furthermore, she seemed to be enveloped by a very strong aura as she walked toward them. It felt very oppressive.
Raegan walked straight up to Naya, her eyes piercing and sharp.
“You poorly educated degenerate. Apologize to Ava right now!”
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2263
Madeline did not expect Raegan to suddenly appear. Ava, who was sitting in the corner, gave a small reaction too. However, her brows seemed to furrow even tighter now.
Naya was stunned for a moment. She widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at Raegan in front of her.
What did this woman say she was?
A poorly educated degenerate? A degenerate!
She was a dignified young lady who grew up in a life of luxury. She had always been a delicate princess with an extraordinary status, but now, she was called a degenerate!
Raegan probably read Naya’s thoughts from her conflicted and angry expression, but Raegan did not change her mind.
“Did you hear what I said? Miss Degenerate, please apologize to my daughter right away.” Raegan repeated herself and directly called Naya ‘Miss Degenerate’.
Naya was really frustrated now. “How dare you call me that? Do you think you’re all that just because you have money? Do you think you can bully others just because you have money?”
Raegan smiled calmly and gracefully in the face of Naya’s angry accusation. “I’ve never thought that being rich is great, and people in the upper class who are truly rich will never think that as well. They’ll use their money to help people in need, not bully others. But you seem to be different, Miss Degenerate. Everyone knows about what you’ve done before, so you don’t have to quibble about whether you’re a degenerate or not.”
After Naya heard these words, she was even more annoyed. Her face turned red with anger. She felt so uncomfortable with how Rae gan kept calling her a degenerate.
“Are you not going to apologize?” Raegan reminded again.
Naya sneered. “Why should I apologize to her? Is she even worthy of my apology?”
“What Naya said just now is right. She can’t escape the fact that she’s related to Dan’s car accident.” Daniel’s mother was also siding with Naya at this time.
However, Raegan’s expression did not change in the slightest. “Mrs. Graham, even a passerby who doesn’t know the whole story wouldn’t stupidly accuse an innocent person. The car indeed belongs to Ava, but what did she do wrong?”
“Is it just because she’s dating your son?” Raegan suddenly asked such a question.
Daniel’s mother and Naya seemed to grasp this key point, and they both looked up.
“Yeah! She shouldn’t be with Dan!” Daniel’s mother emphasized.
“Actually, I think so too. Your son shouldn’t be dating my daughter,” Raegan retorted.
This sentence surprised everyone in front of her. It also made Ava’s expression finally waver.
She stood up and looked at Raegan in confusion. However, she noticed that not only were Raegan’s eyes sharp at this moment, but there was also a touch of indescribable gentleness.
“Mrs. Graham, you must think that your son is an elite like no other. If he were to find a wife, then she must be an appropriate match with him. You look down on my daughter because she’s an ordinary woman. To be honest, I also look down on every one of you except for Daniel.”
Daniel’s mother’s face fell. “What do you mean?”
“I’ve made myself very clear, but I don’t know if you understand, Mrs. Graham. Just ask yourself. Aside from your status in Glendale, what else is there for the Grahams to be proud of? Your blood is blue yet you don’t even know the most basic form of respect. You say you belong to the upper class but you can’t even differentiate right from wrong. Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2264
Daniel’s mother was still confident, but when she was called out by Raegan like that, she immediately felt ashamed. At the same time, she did not want to lose as well.
“Hmph!” Daniel’s mother huffed. “Respect? Your daughter is the one who threw herself at my son. She doesn’t respect herself, so why should I respect her? Plus, the Grahams are a reputable family in Glendale. So what if I want to find a daughter-in-law who’s a suitable match with my family?”
After Daniel’s mother said that, Raegan and Madeline were fuming. However, Ava just had a sarcastic smile on her lips.
“Mrs. Graham, your words are so awful. What do you mean Ava threw herself at your son? How could you describe the person your son loves like that? Plus, Dan was the one who stopped her when she wanted to leave. That’s why she agreed to stay. I was there and saw everything with my own eyes. ”
Madeline emphasized, her gaze sharp and piercing. “It’s a harmonious relationship where both sides love each other, but in your eyes, Ava threw herself at Daniel. Even if you don’t want to respect Ava, you should at least respect Dan.”
After Madeline said that, Daniel’s mother pouted. It seemed that she could not find anything to retort this. She huffed in annoyance and went to stand at a corner.
Naya followed after her too. “Mrs. Graham, don’t listen to their nonsense. After all these years, I can see how good you are to Dan. You’re a mother, so of course, you’re always thinking about your son. You’re not wrong.”
When she heard Naya saying that, Daniel’s mother was suddenly confident again. “Naya, you’re right. I’m a mother, so how am I wrong for wanting the best for my son?”
“You’re not the only mother in the world,” Raegan said in a calm but resonating voice.
When Naya and Daniel’s mother heard this, they had nothing to say.
Madeline could not stand watching the actions and hearing the words of Daniel’s mother and Naya. If it were not because Ava was in love with Daniel, Madeline knew that the bad-tempered Ava would not have continued to endure this injustice. At the end of the day, this was all for love.
Raegan glanced at Ava who kept quiet this whole time. She did not disturb her and backed to one side, silently waiting for the light of the emergency room to be turned off.
More than an hour had passed when the light of the emergency room was finally turned off. The door opened and a few doctors walked out at the same time.
Daniel’s mother was truly worried about Daniel, so she rushed over. Even though Ava desperately wanted to know the situation, she was trying her best to control her emotions.
“Doctor, how’s it? How is my son? Has he woken up?” Daniel’s mother asked worriedly.
The doctor smiled kindly. “Madam, please calm down. The patient’s condition is stable, so you can rest assured.”
When everyone heard what the doctor said, they let out sighs of relief, including Naya.
Then, the doctor walked straight to Raegan and said, “Ms. Xander, if you need any assistance next time, don’t hesitate to call us. We’ll be in Glendale for the time being.”
“Thank you, Dr. Liam. Is my future son-in-law alright?” Raegan asked with a smile.
The word ‘future son-in-law’ sounded extremely unpleasant to Naya, but Daniel’s mother and Ava were surprised. It seemed that the doctor who rushed here were hired by Raegan.
Ava had mixed feelings in her heart. She lifted her eyes to look at Raegan. She wanted to say something to her but it felt as if her words were stuck in her throat. She could not get them out.
As Ava was still feeling conflicted, her attention was suddenly attracted by what the doctor had said.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2265
“Don’t worry, Ms. Xander. I believe that your son-in-law will definitely wake up.” The doctor promised confidently.
“He has a very strong will to live. We believe it’s only a matter of time before he’ll wake up. You can just wait patiently. Tell your daughter to stay by his side. We believe that after some time, he’ll wake up.”
When Ava heard the doctor saying that Daniel would wake up soon, a pleased smile broke out of her face.
“Really? Doctor, are you telling the truth?” Ava asked excitedly. She had been staying silent for a long time but she finally said something now.
The doctor smiled and nodded at her. “I believe so. May I know who you are?”
“She’s the patient’s fiancé,” Madeline answered for Ava.
The doctor nodded as a look of surprise appeared on their faces. “I see. You’re Ms. Xander’s daughter. Then, you have to stay by your fiancé’s side. With your company and encouragement, I believe he’ll wake up very soon.”
After she got the doctor’s affirmative answer, Ava almost cried from happiness. In that instant, her tears started pouring out from her eyes uncontrollably.
Daniel’s mother’s eyes were also red. “Doctor, are you sure that my son is going to wake up soon?”
“I’m very sure,” the doctor’s answer was still firm.
Mrs. Graham let out a sigh of relief. Then, she turned around and said to Naya, “Naya, please take care of Daniel from now on. With your care, I’m sure Daniel will be able to recover very soon.”
A smile immediately appeared on Naya’s face. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Graham. I’ll not let you down. I’ll do my best to take good care of Dan. I also hope that he’ll recover quickly.”
As Naya said that, she peered at Ava with a proud expression. It seemed that she was showing off the fact that Daniel’s mother was siding with her.
“It’s good that you’re considerate, Madam, but you don’t need to take care of the patient,” the doctor suddenly said.
The smile on Naya’s face froze. She did not understand and glared at the doctor with a dissatisfied look on her face. “What do you mean by that, doctor?”
Facing Naya’s question, the doctor smiled back at her magnanimously. “Oh, it’s because when we were rescuing the patient just now, he temporarily regained consciousness. Even though he was still very weak, we could clearly hear him calling out for Ava. We believe that the person the patient wants to see the most is this lady called Ava. So, it’ll be most suitable if Miss Ava takes care of him.”
Naya scoffed when she heard that. “Heh, Dan is so seriously injured, so he won’t know who the one taking care of him actually is. Doctor, are you taking us all for fools by saying that?”
Daniel’s mother nodded in agreement too. She did not want Ava to take care of Daniel, so naturally, she would side with Naya.
Soon enough, the doctor’s powerful and resonating answer completely defeated Daniel’s mother and Naya.
“I’ve been in this field for dozens of years and have seen countless situations like this. At this time, the will of the patient to survive is the most important thing. You might think that if the patient is in a coma, they might not know anything. But in fact, they have very strong perceptions. If you don’t believe what I say, you can take the risk.”
After the doctor said this, he did not want to waste his breath talking to Naya and Daniel’s mother anymore. Instead, he turned around and said to Raegan, “Ms. Xander, I still have something I need to take care of, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Raegan smiled and did not say anything more.
After the doctor left, Naya said sarcastically, “I didn’t think that someone would use this method. Hmph, how sinister it is to use Dan’s safety to reach one’s goal.”
Daniel’s mother knew what Naya was saying. She then scoffed sarcastically as well. “Ava, you’re really something else.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2266
“What an idiot to be unable to recognize others’ good intentions or differentiate right and wrong.”
Raegan retorted back without holding back. Her sharp gaze landed on Naya and Daniel’s mother’s face like knives.
“I can tell you with confidence that if I hadn’t hired this doctor last night, Daniel’s condition would never have been able to turn for the better so quickly. And the reason I did that is all because of my daughter, but you’re saying all those things without shame. I’ll say this one last time. If you don’t want something bad to happen to Daniel, don’t offend my daughter. Otherwise, you’ll be crying for a long time.”
Raegan warned, then looked at the absent-minded Ava with very gentle eyes. Finally, she turned around and left.
The expressions of Daniel’s mother and Naya fell. They wanted to vent their anger but they could only glare at Ava. Finally, the two of them left resentfully.
Ava did not care about the attitudes of Daniel’s mother or Naya. She did not notice that they had left either. All this while, she was stuck in an absent-minded state.
“Ava.” Madeline patted Ava’s shoulder. “I think you saw how your mother did all this for you.”
When she heard what Madeline said, Ava seemed to come back to her senses. She looked at Madeline, and suddenly, she turned around and ran in the direction Raegan left.
Madeline smiled gladly. Then, she felt a familiar warmth enveloping her from behind. “Did she go to chase after Ms. Xander?”
“I think so. Ava should have let go of some of the resentment toward her mother.”
Jeremy smiled. “Are all mothers this way? They’ll do everything for their children no matter what it is.”
Madeline smiled as a gleam of happiness shone in her eyes. “I think most mothers in the world are like that.”
When Jeremy heard this, he did not say anything. However, he was looking at Madeline with more doting and love.
After Ava chased after Raegan, she could not find her after looking around. The night wind in late winter and early spring went deep into her bones. Ava stood in the cold wind and allowed the wind to blow on her. Her body was a few degrees colder, and her heart had also turned frigid unbeknownst to her.
It seemed that her fate with her mother was too shallow.
Ava silently thought about this before slowly turning around. When she lifted her head to look in front of her, she saw a benevolent smiling face in front of her.
“Ava…” Raegan called out to Ava and slowly walked to her.
Ava looked at Raegan blankly. In that instant, she felt that the coldness in her body was now chased away by an invisible warmth.
Raegan walked in front of Ava. When she saw Ava’s serious face, she smiled at Ava affectionately. However, she was worried that Ava would hate her, hence she said carefully, “Don’t worry. The doctor I hired is an authoritative figure in the field. If he says Dan is fine, then nothing bad will happen to Dan. Just wait for him to wake up without worries.”
Raegan comforted Ava before carefully reminding her. “It’s cold outside. Hurry up and go inside.”
After Raegan said that, she could only turn around reluctantly. She knew Ava did not like to see her and she did not want to cause Ava trouble. Hence, she left without wasting one more second.
However, before she could walk far, she heard Ava calling out to her from behind, “Wait! ”
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2267
Raegan thought she was hearing things, but then she heard Ava’s footsteps approaching her. She slowly turned around and saw that Ava was almost in front of her.
Ava looked into Raegan’s eyes. She seemed lost for a moment. Raegan seemed to be waiting to hear what Ava wanted to say next.
The cold wind swept against their faces again and again, but they seemed to be unable to feel it. Under the starry night sky, Ava finally relaxed her tightly clenched hands after some time.
“Thank you.” Ava said those two words.
The expectant look in Raegan’s eyes dissipated slowly. Then, her eyes lit up again. “It’s cold outside. Go back in.”
Raegan replied with a smile. Ava looked at Raegan blankly for two seconds before she turned around and walked to the entrance of the hospital.
Raegan stood where she was as she watched Ava’s figure that was walking away. There was a faint smile on her lips.
After Naya went back with Daniel’s mother, she did not forget to drive a wedge between Ava and Daniel’s mother. “Mrs. Graham, I think something’s not right about this. That doctor who appeared all of a sudden must be in cahoots with Ava. That’s why he kept siding with Ava.”
Mrs. Graham was lectured by Raegan just now and was still mad about it. “I knew something must be wrong. Dan’s condition isn’t as serious as they mentioned. They’re just deliberately making this unnecessarily complicated so that Ava can get close to Dan! But how can I let that bringer of misfortune get close to Dan? Dan wouldn’t be lying in the hospital if it weren’t for her!”
When Naya heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She knew best why Daniel got into the accident.
Naya kept her secret without batting an eyelid, then answered Daniel’s mother, “Mrs. Graham, what should we do now? Ava is doing this because she has a lot of people supporting her. Now, she’s gluing herself to Dan. I wonder what’s going on with the cops? Dan got into an accident because he was driving her car. They should bring her to the station for questioning.”
“Her mother must have bribed the police!” Daniel’s mother said affirmatively.
Naya quickly chimed in, “She must have.’”
“How despicable!” Daniel’s mother was unconvinced. “Naya, you don’t have to care about them. Go and take care of Dan tomorrow for me.”
“I got it, Mrs. Graham. I will.” Naya smiled and accepted the task. Her heart felt much more relieved.
What did it matter if Ava had a lot of people supporting her? She could be authoritative as well as long as Daniel’s mother was on her side.
The next morning, Naya dolled herself up and came to the hospital. However, she was told that Daniel had been transferred to the VIP ward from the intensive care unit. Naya found the ward, but before she pushed the door to go in, she spotted Ava leaning on the sofa next to the bed. She was resting her eyes.
Naya rolled her eyes and scoffed in contempt. When she was about to push the door open, she heard Madeline’s voice.
“Miss Mendez, you’re still in the mood to come here?”
Naya stopped in her tracks and turned to see Madeline walking over with a meaningful smile.
Naya did not dare to offend Madeline, so she put on a hypocritical smile. “Mrs. Whitman, this is not private property, so why can’t I come here? Also, I’m in a good mood today. Do I need to get your permission to be here?”
Madeline smiled. “You’ve misunderstood me, Miss Mende. I mean to say that the police will come to question you soon, so how could you still be in the mood to leave the house?”
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2268
Naya was a little flustered when she heard Madeline mention the police, but she pretended to be calm. “What do you mean, Mrs. Whitman?”
“I mean…”
Before Madeline finished speaking, Naya’s cell phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and frowned. Then, she ended the call and muttered, “Why are there so many harassments calls lately? It’s so annoying.”
After she complained, she did not continue to pay attention to Madeline. She pushed the door into the hospital ward.
Ava was feeling a little sleep when she was suddenly awakened by the sound of the door opening. When she raised her drowsy eyes and saw that the person who came in was Naya, she immediately stood up vigilantly.
“Why are you still here?”
“Ava,” Madeline walked in and called out to Ava.
A small smile crept across Ava’s vigilant face. “Maddie, you’re here.”
“Yeah, I brought you breakfast. I made it myself. You should eat first and take a rest.”
Ava smiled and nodded. Then, she took the breakfast from Madeline and walked to the side to sit down, preparing to eat. She completely ignored Naya.
Madeline also seemed to ignore Naya. Without even looking at Naya, she sat next to Ava, and the two chatted in soft voices.
Looking at this scene, Naya inexplicably panicked. She looked at Daniel, who seemed to be silent on the hospital bed. Then, she slowly approached him and suddenly bent down to say into Daniel’s ear.
“Dan, don’t worry. No matter what you become, I’ll be by your side. I believe that you will recover soon.”
Naya said those gentle words, deliberately saying them loud enough for Madeline and Ava to hear. She glanced at Ava provocatively, her eyes beyond proud.
“Ava…” Daniel suddenly uttered.
Naya froze abruptly, not expecting Daniel to speak at this time. Plus, he was even calling out to Ava. She instantly felt that her provocation against Ava just now had turned into an insult aimed at herself.
Ava, upon hearing Daniel’s voice, threw the fork in her hand away and hurried to Daniel.
“Danny, Danny, you’re calling for me, right?” Ava grabbed Daniel’s hand and stared at the sleeping man with teary eyes.
Naya, who was on the side, could not stand it any longer. “Ava, let go of Dan. He’s already so weak yet you’re still pulling on him like this. Don’t you want Dan to get better?”
“When exactly did you see Ava pulling on Dan? Naya, you know best in your heart who Dan wants to see the most. I’m telling you now not to make a fool out of yourself here.” Madeline stepped forward to speak up for Ava.
When Naya wanted to retort, she suddenly seemed to hear Daniel’s weak voice calling out for Ava again. “Ava…”
Naya felt as if she had been slapped in the face. Her face felt hot and burning.
Ava did not want to pay attention to Naya now. She grabbed Daniel’s hand tightly as tears escaped her eyes. “Danny, I’m here. I’m right here. I’ll stay with you no matter how many people want to stop us from being together. I’ll never leave you.”
Ava seemed to be saying this to Naya.
Naya bit her lip in anger. She did not like to see Ava getting close to Daniel. When she wanted to mention Mrs. Graham to put pressure on Ava, two police officers pushed the door open and walked in. Their target was clear as they walked straight to Naya.
“Are you Naya Mendez?”
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2269
Naya was stunned for a second. Then, she turned to look at the police, her heart pounding.
Madeline also followed the source of the sound and could probably guess what was going on. However, Ava did not care about Naya at all. Her eyes and thoughts were all on Daniel.
Although Naya was very nervous, she knew that she could not panic.
“I’m Naya Mendez.” Naya walked over, pretending to have a clear conscience. “May I help you, officers?”
“We’ve found the person who broke into Miss Long’s vehicle that day. The other party is a gangster who idles his time away. What he said is almost the same as what Chloe Tawney said,” the police officer said directly.
After he said that, Madeline’s and Ava’s expressions changed at the same time.
They found the man who tampered with the car?
Naya’s face flashed with panic, but she pretended to be calm as she said, “It’s good that you’ve arrested him. You should go find that man. Why did you come to me?”
“We want to ask you to assist in the investigation of some related urgent matters. We have to trouble you to go to the police station with us.”
Upon hearing the police officer’s words, Naya breathed a sigh of relief. She thought the police had found something, but they did not.
Naya followed with a friendly smile. “I’m happy to assist the police.” After she finished speaking, she looked at Ava, whose eyes were blurry with tears. “Ava, no matter how much you distance yourself from the fact, nothing can change that Dan was driving your car when he got into the accident.”
Naya glanced at the police after saying that. “Let’s go, Mr. Officer.”
The leading police officer turned around and led the way. Just then, Madeline stopped the other police officer who was walking behind. “Officer, I want to know something.”
The police officer asked politely, “May I ask who you are?”
Madeline explained her relationship with Ava and Daniel. Then, she asked, “Did the man you catch admit that he was the one who tampered with my friend’s car?”
“No.” The policeman answered firmly.
“He admitted to taking money from Chloe Tawney to break into Miss Long’s car, but he said he just stole valuables from the car and didn’t do anything to the brakes.”
Ava gently released Daniel’s hand when she heard the words. She stood up. “He isn’t the one who tampered with the car? Is his confession credible?”
“We did a polygraph test with him and he didn’t lie, but a polygraph isn’t necessarily 100 percent accurate.”
“So what does this matter have to do with Naya?” Madeline asked.
The officer said he could not reveal to them the details of the investigation. Hence, he turned around and left.
“Maddie, what’s going on? If that man didn’t tamper with my car, how did the brakes get damaged?”
Ava grabbed Madeline’s hand and asked in confusion. A look of self-blame appeared on her face.
“So, it’s still my fault. Nothing would’ve happened to Danny if he hadn’t driven my car.”
“Ava, you’re overthinking again. I told you that this has nothing to do with you.” Madeline comforted Ava, but she was quietly thinking about the doubtful points in this case.
“I’m not overthinking, Maddie. Danny took this calamity for me.”
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2270
Ava went back to Daniel’s side sadly. Madeline was worried that Ava would waste time dwelling on insoluble problems again, so she decided to stay by Ava’s side. At the same time, she also sent a message to Jeremy.
Jeremy received a message from Madeline just after sending their son to school. After taking a look, he immediately called the relevant personnel to find out what had happened. After learning about the situation, he immediately replied to Madeline’s message.
After seeing Jeremy’s reply, Madeline had a bold guess in her heart.
In the police car…
Naya suppressed the panic in her heart and remained calm on the surface. She really wanted to know what the police wanted her help on. However, she was afraid that if she asked too much, the police would suspect something. Hence, she kept silent. However, the events of that day popped up in her mind involuntarily…
That day, she received a message from Chloe saying that she had gotten someone to tamper with Ava’s car.
On that day, she had actually followed Chloe. She found a blind spot where the surveillance cameras would not be able to capture her and hid behind a pillar. She watched the man Chloe hired break into Ava’s car. Meanwhile, Chloe was standing there taking the video. It did not take long for Chloe to send the video to her. Naya glanced at it and did not reply. She was focused on the situation in the car.
After about ten minutes, the man got out of the car and left Chloe also left soon after.
When the parking lot was empty, Naya got into Ava’s car. Since the door was forcefully pried open, it could not be closed tightly. Naya put on rubber gloves and performed a series of operations on the brakes using the relevant information she found on the internet. After doing this, she carefully left the crime scene.
Naya did not think about anything at the time. She just wanted Ava to drive the car, get into a serious accident, and die. She was just worried that Chloe’s guy might not be cruel enough, so she decided to do it herself. Indeed, Chloe’s guy did not do the job well even after taking the money. However, Naya never imagined that Daniel would be the one who drove that car.
When Naya found out, her heart froze and her hands also turned cold.
The police car stopped at this time, and Naya was taken directly to the interrogation room. After sitting down, the first question she was asked by the police officer was where she was when Ava’s car was tampered with.
Naya’s back turned cold, but she did not even bat an eyelid before she parted her mouth and said, “I was watching a movie in my apartment that day.”
“Are you sure you were in your apartment that day? You remember it so well?” The police officer maintained reasonable suspicion.
Naya nodded. “I’m pretty sure.” She assured, followed by a sad and innocent expression. “It’s because I was getting cyber-bullied during that period and people would look at me with strange looks wherever I went, so I didn’t dare to go out.”
After listening to Naya’s explanation, the police officer said, “We have also learned about the incident on the internet. You suffered the consequences of your own actions.”
Naya wanted to express her grievance, but she did not expect to be ridiculed. She began to panic in her heart. If the police asked her that, then they definitely knew something.
However, unlike what she thought, the police officer just continued to ask some seemingly insignificant questions before letting her go.
After leaving the police station, Naya went straight back to her apartment. She was restless. After a while, she drove out. After circling the city center, she could not help but head to one place and stopped her car there.
