Married by Mistake – Chapter 2271
After driving there, Naya was a little hesitant as she sat in the car. However, since she was here, how could she go back at this time?
Hence, she had to go. After Naya thought about it, she got out of the car and walked straight toward one of the parking spaces.
On that day, she did not think that she was photographed by anyone or captured by any surveillance cameras. However, she was not so sure anymore. It was because the police had approached her for questioning. The reason why the police did this must be that they had some evidence. When she thought of this, Naya’s heartbeat became unstable.
She could not escape from this, so she had to go back to the crime scene to see if there was any evidence left behind that could be used against her. However, Naya’s footsteps suddenly stopped. From a distance, she seemed to see a familiar figure hovering near the parking space in front.
Naya stopped abruptly and stepped back to the edge of the pillar.
She was not mistaken. The woman in sight was Madeline.
However, why was Madeline here?
Naya was full of doubts and wanted to get a closer look but was afraid of being discovered.
At this time, Madeline seemed to have spotted something on the floor. She suddenly squatted down to pick it up.
“Jeremy, what do you think this is?” Madeline picked up something and suddenly raised her eyes, speaking to the person in front.
Only then did Naya realize that Jeremy was there too. Naya was getting more and more flustered now. ‘Jeremy is here too? What does that mean?’
Naya did not dare to think too much, so she retracted her head behind the pillar. In the distance, she vaguely heard the conversation between Madeline and Jeremy.
“Jeremy, what do you think this is? This should be something only girls have, right?”
“Could this be Ava’s? This is her parking space. It‘s not surprising that she might have dropped something here.”
“No, Ava wouldn’t like such accessories.” Madeline denied.
Upon hearing this, Naya felt a thin layer of sweat on her palms. She subconsciously looked at the accessories she was wearing, wondering if it was a ring or a bracelet that had fallen near the parking space. If her belongings were found here, it would be difficult for her to justify herself.
However, what was it?
“Jeremy, it seems that someone other than Chloe and that man she hired were here. That person is probably the one who tampered with Ava’s car.”
Madeline analyzed the situation, and upon hearing this, Naya became more and more uneasy. The cold sweat on her palms increased as well.
‘How is this possible? How do they know that the accident was caused by someone else? Do they really have any relevant evidence?’
Naya made a guess and stuck her head out a little to look over.
At this moment, Madeline and Jeremy were looking down at the ground as if they were still looking for something.
“Jeremy, are the results of what I asked you to investigate this morning reliable?”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2272
“It’s reliable.” Jeremy assured. “The man who broke into Ava’s car didn’t do anything to the car. After he went back, he showed off to his group of friends that he received money after he got into the car and put on a show. That night, he used that money to go to the bar to have a good time. He spent all of the money in one night.”
“That said, he did not lie and the police even did a polygraph test on him. He passed the test. It seems that someone else tampered with Ava’s car.”
Madeline lifted the thing she just picked up. “That person is most likely the person who left this object.”
“I think so too.” Jeremy agreed. He raised his eyes and looked around. “Unfortunately, this is a blind spot for the surveillance cameras. And the police have investigated everything they could. Linnie, let’s go back.”
Jeremy’s words reassured Naya. The absence of surveillance footage was to her advantage. However, before she could feel happy for a few more seconds, she suddenly heard that Madeline seemed to have found something important.
“Jeremy, look at the surveillance camera over there. Do you think it can film what’s going on at this spot?”
Jeremy looked in the direction Madeline pointed and pondered for a few seconds. “Linnie, come on. Let‘s go to the apartment building’s surveillance room.”
“Okay.” Madeline took Jeremy’s hand, and the two left immediately.
Naya hid behind the pillar, listening to the sound of Madeline’s and Jeremy’s footsteps getting farther away. After that, she slowly walked out of her hiding place. She vigilantly looked around, then walked cautiously to the parking space of Ava’s car.
The parking space was empty and there was nothing here, but she wondered if she had really dropped something here when she was not paying attention. Naya did not dare to waste any time and quickly searched around. Luckily, and somewhat surprisingly, she indeed saw something that belonged to her. It was a brooch that fell over the gutter, but since the brooch was slightly larger, it got stuck in the notch.
Naya picked it up without hesitation and stuffed it into her pocket. She did not forget to continue searching around the parking space to make sure everything was fine before leaving.
She avoided the surveillance cameras and returned to her car as fast as she could. Her hand that was holding the steering wheel started trembling a few times.
After taking a deep breath, Naya took out the brooch hidden in her pocket and looked at it absent-mindedly.
She was suddenly a little confused. Did she wear this brooch that day?
However, this brooch was indeed hers.
Naya did not think much of it and quickly drove away. In the distance, Madeline and Jeremy sat quietly in their car, watching Naya’s car get farther and farther away until it disappeared into the traffic.
Madeline looked at the thing she had just picked up from the ground with heavy eyes. The guesses in her heart had been confirmed.
In hospital.
Ava stayed by Daniel’s bed all day and all night. Early next morning, she thought Madeline would bring her breakfast again. She did not expect Raegan to come. Ava had mixed feelings once again when she was looking at the breakfast Raegan brought her.
Raegan was a little uncomfortable when she saw that Ava seemed to be at a loss, but she still smiled. “Ava, this is the breakfast I made myself. You might not like the taste, but it should be okay. You should go wash up first and eat something. I’ll help you watch Daniel.”
Ava looked at the breakfast Raegan had placed on the coffee table. There were different kinds of breakfast with plenty of choices for her. It was probably because Raegan did not know what she liked, so she made a lot of food to let her choose. Ava did not know what to say for a while, but there was already a surge of warmth in her heart.
After Ava finished washing up, she picked up the buns and ate them. It was unknown if it was because she had not eaten buns for a long time, Ava actually thought they were delicious.
Raegan quietly watched Ava eating the breakfast she made, and while watching, she noticed tears falling from Ava’s eyes.
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2273
Raegan’s heart ached. She did not think much before she went straight to Ava’s side and sat down.
“Ava,” Raegan called Ava’s name affectionately, reaching for a tissue.
Ava looked at the tissue through the tears in her eyes. She did not speak and just quietly took the tissue. She quickly wiped the tears off her face and continued to eat the buns. She tried to pretend to be nonchalant, but her tears kept falling.
Raegan’s heart ached as she saw this. “Ava, do you want…”
“Can you go out first?” Ava finally said, but the words turned Raegan’s heart cold. However, she would not refuse Ava’s request.
“I’ll just be outside. You can call me if you need anything.” Raegan turned around after saying this.
When she was closing the door, Raegan could not help but steal a few glances at Ava.
After Ava saw Raegan go out, tears poured out from her eyes. Even so, she still did not dare to be too loud. She did not want to disturb the sleeping Daniel even though she knew that it was unlikely for Daniel to wake up now.
At this time, Daniel’s mother came to the hospital to see Daniel. She also brought Naya with her. Although Daniel’s mother suspected that Naya had given her fake jewelry, the appraisal agency had not yet given her the results. She was more willing to talk to Naya.
Before reaching the door of the ward, Naya spotted Raegan. “Mrs. Graham, look It’s Ava’s mother.”
Daniel’s mother followed her line of sight, and a displeased look appeared on her face. “What’s so amazing about this woman anyway? She just knows how to make money. So what if she has money? Her husband is gone, while her daughter is ignoring her and doesn’t want to acknowledge her kindness. Hmph, my son is the one inside, so why should an outsider like her order us around?”
Daniel’s mother said with an arrogant face as she stepped toward the ward.
Raegan heard the footsteps approaching and looked up. When she saw Daniel’s mother and Naya, she did not do anything and just watched them silently.
Daniel’s mother was quite imposing a second ago, but for some reason, she suddenly lost her confidence when facing Raegan. She did not talk to Raegan and wanted to push the door open to go into the ward.
“The doctor has just checked your son. He specifically told us not to go in and disturb him. You can visit him later.” Raegan reminded calmly.
Naya stopped and glanced at Raegan arrogantly, “Dan is just lying on the bed and resting. How are we disturbing by going in to look at him? You don’t want to let us inside because you want your daughter to be alone with Dan, right?”
Raegan knew that Naya only looked like a good woman, but in reality, she was extremely troublesome. She looked at Naya indifferently, “Although Dan is lying there and is still unconscious, it doesn’t mean he can’t feel things. Ask yourself, who’s the person Dan wants to see the most?”
“What? Do you think my son must have your daughter with him? I don’t believe that my son won’t want to see his mother!” Daniel’s mother got angry, pushed open the door, and rushed in.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2274
Ava, who was crying while eating the buns, immediately put down the buns when she heard the noise. She wiped away her tears.
Although Ava moved quickly, Naya still spotted her wiping away her tears.
Naya snickered and sneered. “Only you and your mother would use despicable means just so you can have Dan all to yourself.”
Ava sorted her emotions and glanced at Naya indifferently. She was not in the mood to argue with Naya. Plus, it was reasonable for Daniel’s mother to want to see Daniel, so Ava thought about going out first to avoid unnecessary trouble. However, just as Ava was about to turn around, she heard Naya‘s disdainful rant from behind. “Mrs. Graham, look. Dan isn’t waking up at all, unlike what the doctor said. The doctor only followed someone’s instructions and said that on purpose so that a certain someone can stay by Dan‘s side alone.”
Daniel’s mother heard this and looked at Daniel’s haggard and pale face. She felt both uncomfortable and dissatisfied. Out of the corners of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Ava standing at the door in a daze. She opened her mouth and scolded.
“Dan doesn’t need you here anymore. You should leave with your billionaire mother. The farther away you are from us, the better.”
Ava clenched her fist, but eventually, she released them. “I’m not leaving Dan.”
Daniel’s mother frowned, turned around, and stared at Ava, “Why are you such a nuisance? Dan hasn‘t woken up because he drove your car. How are you still shatneless enough to stay here?”
“If it weren’t for the sake of my daughter, I wouldn’t have bothered to use my connections to get the doctor to come and treat your son.” Raegan walked in from the door. When she saw Ava’s red eyes, she walked over in distress and grabbed Ava’s hand. “Ava, although Dan really wants you to be by his side, I don’t want to see these unreasonable people ganging up to bully you.”
After Reagan spoke, she was about to pull Ava away.
Ava was probably a little surprised by Raegan’s sudden grasp. Before she could react, she heard Naya’s mocking voice.
“Ms. Xander, you spoke so well, but don’t you think you’re being ridiculous? Your daughter doesn’t even care about you at all. She hates you to death. I heard that it’s because you abandoned her for your career. Tsk tsk, what a pity. Site doesn‘t want your kindness at all.”
Naya‘s words were full of pertinence.
She just wanted to see Ava unhappy and uncomfortable. She knew very well that the relationship between Ava and Raegan could be described as incompatible as fire and water. Therefore, she wanted to drive a wedge between Ava and Raegan.
“Who said I don’t want it?” Ava’s rhetorical question sounded abruptly. “Why would I not want a billionaire mother who spoils me so much? I guess some people are just jealous.”
Ava raised the corners of her mouth into a smile, her eyes a little more arrogant than before. She took advantage of the situation and grabbed Raegan’s hand tightly while smiling even brighter. “Mom, we haven‘t seen each other for so many years. Now that we’ve finally reunited, let’s go and have a nice long chat.”
Ava said and took Raegan’s hand before turning around and walking out.
Naya’s face had already darkened at this moment. She snorted with dissatisfaction and stayed in the ward with Daniel‘s mother.
Outside the ward, Raegan’s face was full of joy at the moment, when she wanted to say something, Ava hurriedly released her hand.
The smile on Raegan’s face froze a little, but there was still joy. She understood Ava very well, so she planned to stay quiet. However, she suddenly heard Ava talking to her.
“Thank you…” Ava thanked her again.
Raegan was stunned for a moment. Just when she was about to say ‘you’re welcome’, Ava repeated it and added another word.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2275
Raegan knew that she heard it right, but when the word left Ava’s mouth, Raegan felt like she was dreaming.
“Mom,” she said.
To Raegan, that word felt like a dream. While Raegan was still in a daze, Ava spoke again.
“I’m really thankful for you. Thank you for taking care of me and Danny all this while. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”
Ava’s attitude was sincere. Raegan felt tears sting the corners of her eyes. She was a calm person, but right now, she was so excited that she could not even say a word.
“T-This is what I should do,” Raegan stammered a little when she spoke, her overly excited emotions making her beating heart tremble even more.
“Ava, are you willing to forgive me?” Raegan could not help asking after a while.
Ava looked at Raegan’s hopeful eyes and lowered her eyes in disappointment.
“There’s nothing to be forgiven. I just know that seeing you at this moment makes me feel at ease.” Ava expressed her true feelings.
Raegan was very satisfied despite not getting the answer she was looking for.
Her eyes were also dyed red, and the joy in her heart could not be described in words. She tried to stop her tears from falling, but she could not stop the emotions that she wanted to express.
Ava took out a tissue from her pocket, but she did not hand it to Raegan. Instead, she lifted her hand and wiped Raegan’s tears for her.
At that moment, Raegan was completely stunned. Her whole body froze in place, and the scorching tears seemed to warm her eyes, causing a warm current to flow through her heart.
There were a lot of things she wanted to express at this moment, but they seemed to be stuck in her throat and she could not speak.
Ava could probably sense what Raegan was feeling at the moment. She took a deep breath and sighed, a relieved smile appearing on the corners of her mouth.
“I know you want to hear me say that everything’s okay, but over the past ten years, the loneliness, anxiety, and loss have already deeply accumulated in my heart. There’s no way to easily erase them.”
Ava candidly expressed her thoughts. The smile on her face became more and more at ease.
“But it’s much better now, really. Although I said that I don‘t want to see you again, every time I see you, a light will ignite in my heart. I know that‘s the warmth I’ve been longing for and the motherly love I’ve been seeking for more than a decade. Now, this love has finally been delivered to me.”
At the end of her sentence, Ava laughed and burst into tears. Then, she looked into Raegan’s eyes earnestly.
“Mom…”
Two seconds later, Ava called out to Raegan and stretched out her arms to hug her.
Raegan did not expect it but was very surprised and excited. She did not let herself be in a daze for long and quickly hugged Ava back.
“Ava, I’m sorry. I’ve wronged you.”
Raegan cried and apologized. She owed Ava too much.
“After I left you that year, I’ve always regretted it. In fact, I went back to find you. I secretly watched you carry your school bag to school, and then after school, I wanted so badly to go over and hug you. However, I didn‘t have the courage…”
Raegan closed her eyes, letting the tears run down her face.
At this moment, they did not talk to each other anymore and just hugged each other tighter.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2276
Naya was standing behind the door of the ward. Upon seeing the scene outside the door through the small window, she rolled her eyes unhappily.
Unexpectedly, her provocation just now had led to Ava and Raegan’s reconciliation. This was beyond her expectation.
Naya gritted her teeth and looked back at Daniel, who was unresponsive on the hospital bed. She felt distressed and also irritable.
‘Please don‘t blame me, Dan. I didn‘t mean to hurt you. If you want to blame someone, blame Ava. We were childhood sweethearts and we’re a match made in heaven. It was Ava, an outsider, who suddenly intervened in our relationship.’
‘If it weren’t for this woman, I believe we would have already gotten married. Ava should have died. You’re supposed to be safe and sound. Sigh, I wonder when Dan will wake up. It’s been so many days and he’s still like this.”
Naya came back to her senses when she heard Mrs. Graham’s worries. Then, she put on her good girl act and walked over to comfort her.
“Mrs. Graham, heaven help the worthy. I believe that Dan will be safe and sound,” Naya seemed to comfort her kindly. “However, I don‘t think you can let Ava and her mother do whatever they want. Dan is your son. Your decision outweighs theirs.”
Mrs. Graham’s face sank after hearing this. “Naya, lock the door and don’t let those people come in again.”
When Naya saw that she had successfully instigated Daniel‘s mother, she walked over without hesitation and locked the door.
After talking outside the ward, Ava and Raegan wanted to go in and continue to keep an eye on Daniel. However, when they went to open the door, they found that the door could not be opened. Ava looked up at the small window on the door, but she could only see Naya rolling her arrogant eyes at her. Of course, Ava knew that the door was intentionally locked. However, she did not want to knock hard on the door. Although Daniel had not woken up yet, she was still afraid of disturbing him.
“How outrageous.” Raegan felt sorry for Ava, and at the same time, she did not understand the behavior of Naya and Daniel’s mother.
“Naya is obviously not a good person. I wonder if Dan’s mother is truly a fully-grown adult? Her ability to distinguish right from wrong is worse than that of a child.”
“Forget it.” Ava smiled indifferently. “I’ll just wait here. I don’t believe they can stay in there forever.”
Ava smiled and sat down on the chair by the door. When she looked back, she saw Madeline coming over. Ava stood up again and walked toward Madeline.
“Maddie, I knew you’d come to see me.”
Madeline clearly felt that Ava was in a good mood. Seeing that Raegan was also greeting her with a slight smile, Madeline immediately felt that the relationship between Ava and Raegan seemed to have improved. It was probably a big leap in progress. Madeline was happy for Ava and Raegan. However, she was here for some serious business.
“Ava, is Naya here?” Madeline went straight to the point.
Ava turned around and said, “She’s in there. She locked the door to prevent me from going in. Maddie, do you need something from her?”
“Yeah, I do.”
Madeline said as she walked to the door of the ward. She then raised her hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
Madeline knocked again. “Naya, this is Eveline. I have a few questions I want to ask you about Dan’s car accident.”
Madeline directly explained the purpose of her visit. At first, there was still no movement inside. After several seconds, the door of the ward finally opened.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2277
Naya held the doorknob, and it did not look like she was going to open the door completely to let others in. However, when she heard that the person knocking on the door was Madeline, the arrogant look on her face dissipated in an instant.
“Mrs. Whitman, it’s you.” Naya curled her lips while pretending to be calm. However, all she could think about was what Madeline and Jeremy had found in the parking lot. She still did not know what Madeline picked up at the time.
Madeline returned a faint smile. “Yes, it’s me, Miss Mendez. I have something important to ask you.”
Madeline said and glanced at the ward. “Come out and talk. Let Dan rest.”
“What can’t be said here? Why does she have to go out to talk?” Daniel’s mother came over with a displeased expression, her eyes also filled with doubts.
“Mrs. Whitman, you’re not trying to deceive us and have some irrelevant people come in by saying that, right?”
Seeing that Daniel’s mother was still talking to Naya at this time, Madeline raised her cold eyes indifferently. “We’re going to talk about the main cause of Dan’s car accident. Aren’t you interested to know, Mrs. Graham?”
Upon hearing Madeline‘s answer, Mrs. Graham’s face changed slightly. Meanwhile, a trace of panic flashed across Naya’s eyes.
Madeline calmly retracted her gaze and did not say anything. Instead, she just turned and walked to the side.
Naya’s heart skipped a beat. She was worried that she had been exposed. While she was hesitating, Daniel’s mother opened the door and walked out.
“What did you just say? The main reason for Dan’s accident is because he drove this woman’s car and got into a car accident, right? What else is there to say?”
Madeline frowned upon hearing that. “Mrs. Graham, I wonder if you have difficulty understanding what the police said. The police have been very clear about this. Ava’s car was tampered with and that’s how the accident happened. This isn’t Ava’ s fault.”
“Mrs. Whitman, did you come here just to emphasize that Ava has nothing to do with this matter?” Naya said out of nowhere.
Madeline calmly said, “I don’t have to emphasize it because this is the truth.”
Naya’s face sank, and she looked very pissed.
The same went for Daniel’s mother. “Even if someone else tampered with her car, that’s her problem. If Dan wasn’t with her, he wouldn’t have driven her car and gotten into that accident.”
Madeline was speechless at what Daniel’s mother said.
Raegan could not listen to this anymore. When she was just about to say something, she was stopped by Ava. “Mom, there’s no need to argue with them. Even if everyone thinks that I killed Dan, I don’t care. As long as Dan wakes up and they catch the real mastermind behind the car accident, it’s enough.”
When Ava said this, she gave Naya a meaningful look. Naya looked at Ava with a guilty conscience. She knew what Ava meant. Ava also thought it was Naya who instructed Chloe to do this, but the truth was that Naya was the one who tampered with the brakes herself.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2278
“Ava, don’t worry. Dan will get better and the culprit will be caught soon,” Madeline said while fixing her gaze on Naya.
“Miss Mendez, I heard that you were called by the police for questioning yesterday. Can you tell me what the police asked you?” Madeline asked with a smile.
When Naya heard this, she immediately felt that something was wrong but she did not want these people to gain any clues. Therefore, she pretended to be confused. “Mrs. Whitman, this involves the police’s investigation. I don’t think you have the right to ask me about it.”
“Indeed, I don‘t have the right to ask such a question. But my husband does.”
As soon as Madeline finished speaking, Jeremy walked up behind her.
Jeremy was parking the car earlier, so Madeline came to the ward first to look for Naya.
Daniel’s mother became more and more confused when she heard that. Then, she glanced at Jeremy who was getting closer and closer. “When did Jeremy become a police officer? Eveline, are you fooling us?”
“I don‘t have time to fool you.” Madeline’s eyes became even colder. “Naya, you know very well why the police brought you in for questioning.”
“Eveline, what do you mean?” The more Daniel’s mother listened to Madeline’s words, the more incomprehensible she found them. Her tone was also filled with some complaints. “It sounds as if you’re saying that Dan’s car accident has something to do with Naya.”
“It does have something to do with her.” Madeline’s answer was firm as she explained Jeremy’s situation, “I forgot to mention that my husband is a senior detective of the Interpol. He has the same rights that the police have.”
Both Naya and Daniel’s mother were startled. They had no idea that Jeremy had this identity. Ava was not too surprised. She knew Jeremy’s identity and had sensed a long time ago that Naya was the one who instigated Chloe to do this.
Although Naya had mentally prepared herself, Madeline’s direct testimony against her made her very uncomfortable. She frowned, trying to appear innocent.
“Eveline, although you are the daughter of a wealthy family, you’re Mr. Whitman’s wife. You have a strong background. You can’t bully people like this for your so-called good friend, right? If I really had something to do with the car accident, the police would have come to arrest me a long time ago. Would you even have the chance to question me?”
“Yes, you’re right. The evidence has been found now. Not only are you inseparable from this matter, but you’re also the main culprit behind the car accident.”
After Madeline said that, her eyes became sharper. Naya’s expression turned unpleasant all of a sudden as anxiety built up in her heart. Even so, she insisted on arguing.
“Eveline, the main cause of the car accident is that someone tampered with the brakes of your friend’s car. This person was hired by Chloe and it has nothing to do with me. The police have also arrested the person and detained Chloe. If I was the one who instigated her, do you think I can stand here all fine and dandy? Eveline, I hope you won’t use your background to falsely accuse the innocent.” Naya asked rhetorically in a tough tone. Then, she turned her head and expressed her grievance to Daniel’s mother with a sad look on her face. “Mrs. Graham, look at these people. They’re gauging up to bully me.”
Daniel‘s mother snorted coldly. “Eveline, Jeremy, don’t be such intolerable bullies! How could this have anything to do with Naya? How could she want Dan to get into an accident? It’s outrageous!”
“According to your logic, Mrs. Graham, do you think Ava wanted something to happen to Dan?” Madeline asked coldly, then turned her gaze to Naya, who looked aggrieved and dissatisfied.
“Naya, you’re right again. You didn’t instigate anyone because Chloe and that man are just your scapegoats. You’re the culprit who tampered with the brakes of Ava’s car.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2279
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 unnatural right now.
However, even if she was panicking, Naya would not admit it. Hence, Naya still tried her best to argue.
“Heh, I’m learning so much today. The young mistress of an aristocratic family in Glendale is bullying others with her authority for her so-called good friend.”
Naya scoffed coldly. She was not afraid to cause a scene. When she saw the doctors, nurses, and patients’ families walking past, Naya called out to them, “Everyone, stop and take a look at this. This is what relying on power to bully others looks like.”
Naya deliberately raised her voice so the doctors, nurses, and patients’ families all stopped to see what was going on.
“What’s happening?”
“I know those two. They look like Jeremy Whitman and Eveline Montgomery.”
“Aren’t they the pair of aristocratic husband and wife in Glendale? I’ve seen that woman too. I’ve also seen that one.”
“Isn’t that the woman in the video that went viral on the internet recently? I remember this woman named Naya falsely accused Ava.”
Naya wanted to use the bystanders’ criticism and judging eyes to exert some pressure on Madeline, but she did not expect them to know her and remember the incident where she and Chloe had framed Ava. Naya immediately felt her face burning. The feeling of awkwardness overwhelmed her immediately.
She had shot herself in the foot!
However, she could not turn back anymore. She had to continue this no matter what.
“That’s right. You didn’t see wrongly. I’m Naya Mendez and she’s Ava Long.” Naya admitted magnanimously.
“I had some beef with her back then, so that’s why you saw that video on the internet. But this is not what I want to say.” Naya looked serious and righteous before continuing.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2280
“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 attempt and it was Naya who did it.”
When she said the last sentence, Madeline looked straight into Naya’s eyes.
“Naya, you can’t change this fact. It’s just like the last time you colluded with Chloe to frame Ava. In the end, everyone still saw the truth. This time, it’ll be the same.”
Madeline’s tone was powerful and resonating. She was not giving Naya any chance to quibble.
“Naya, you said your good friend Chloe hired a thug to tamper with Ava’s car. The truth is, while Chloe did pay the thug, he didn’t do anything to the car. They didn’t do anything but the car’s brakes still stopped functioning and Daniel got into an accident. What really happened, then?” Madeline asked, her sharp and piercing eyes causing Naya to feel uneasy.
“How would I know what happened?” Naya was flustered and exasperated. Her tone sounded more hurried now.
When she saw the people around her whispering about her among themselves, Naya panicked. “Mrs. Graham, it’s been so many years and you know me the best. I like Dan a lot, so why would I do something that would upset Dan? Even though I don’t like Ava, she’s still the woman Dan loves. At most, I would just throw a tantrum. I wouldn’t do anything illegal!”
After Daniel’s mother heard that, she nodded. Her face darkened as she looked at Madeline in dissatisfaction. Then, she also looked coldly at Ava.
“Don’t make a fuss at a place where Dan is resting. I watched Naya grow up and I know what she’s like the best. She wouldn’t do something so immoral. Go away now. This is so annoying.”
After Daniel’s mother said that in annoyance, she wanted to bring Naya back to the ward. Suddenly, she heard Madeline say sarcastically.
“Mrs. Graham, if you’re so clear on Naya’s character, why did you take the branded goods Naya gave you for appraisal?”
Mrs. Graham blushed as she quickly stopped in her tracks.
Naya was also stunned. She had no idea that Daniel’s mother had taken the jewelry, bags, and clothes she gave her all these years for appraisal. If she took them for appraisal, then Naya would be exposed. None of those branded goods she gave Daniel’s mother in the past few years were authentic.
Daniel’s mother was worried and embarrassed. She immediately denied it. “What nonsense are you talking about? What did I take for appraisal? I did no such thing.”
“No?” Madeline asked slowly. “I have a copy of the appraisal report. Everything is clearly stated here, and the results of every appraisal are here. I got this from a friend of mine who’s an appraisal expert. She knew I was coming here today so she asked me to bring this to you.”
After Madeline said that, she took out a few folded pieces of paper from her bag. “Are you sure you don‘t want to look at the results, Mrs. Graham?”
