Married by Mistake – Chapter 2331
Ava paused. She immediately understood what Tom had in his mind. She let out a wistful sigh, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
“My parents abandoned me when I was very young, but recently, they’ve found me one after another.”
After Ava said that, they coincidentally came to a red light. The car stopped. Tom looked back at Ava with slight shock and regret in his eyes.
“If this is true, I really have a hard time believing that a talented person like Dr. Long would make such a serious mistake when he was young. Could this be a misunderstanding?”
“I don’t think so.” Ava denied it. “I asked them in person if they willingly abandoned me back then and they admitted it.”
After hearing Ava’s answer, Tom’s eyes were still filled with uncertainty.
“Perhaps sometimes what we see with our own eyes is not the truth.”
“But it’s a fact that they didn’t want me.”
After hearing what Ava said, Tom did not know what else to say. He stopped mentioning it again to avoid making Ava feel uncomfortable.
About half an hour later, Tom drove her to the gate of Old Whitman Manor according to the address given by Ava.
Madeline originally planned to go and pick Ava up, but Ava sent her a message half an hour ago saying that someone would be sending her back. Hence, Madeline went straight home. At this moment, Madeline was a little puzzled when she saw Torn getting out of the car and opening the car door for Ava so considerately.
She walked over and looked at Tom from head to toe. “You must be Mr. Lowe.”
Tom nodded to Madeline. “Hello, Mrs. Whitman. We met at a business party before.”
“No wonder you look familiar to me.” Madeline smiled and politely invited Tom into the house to sit and have a cup of tea. However, Tom said he had something he needed to take care of and left.
Madeline turned around to look at Ava. “So, your boss sent you here? Why is he so good to you? Does he have feelings for you?”
“No way.” Ava denied it. Then, she made a guess. “Maybe I’m only receiving this special treatment because of him.”
“Him?” Madeline was confused. Then, she started taking small steps toward the house with Ava.
Ava smiled bitterly. “It’s that amazing neurologist.”
“You mean your dad?”
Ava did not nod or shake her head when she heard that. Instead, she just smiled.
“Mr. Lowe just told me that his dad was always pestered by a stubborn headache, but he was cured after seeing that doctor. Maybe I’m benefitting from association with him and got myself a lift.”
“I see…” Madeline was rueful.
Ava wanted to say something more, but suddenly, Pudding appeared in front of her. A smile appeared on her face at once, and she quickly walked over to Pudding to pick him up.
Madeline smiled and also wanted to go over, but Jeremy suddenly appeared next to her and stopped her.
“Linnie…”
“Jeremy, when did you come back?”
“I just parked the car.” After Jeremy said that, he took out a pink invitation card from his pocket. “Linnie, look at what this is.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2332
Madeline took the invitation card from Jeremy suspiciously. After opening it, she saw that the name on the invitation letter was someone she didn’t know. However, the contents of the invitation letter surprised Madeline.
“Dan is going to marry Naya?”
Jeremy frowned. “I saw this invitation letter when someone else was reading it. Judging from Naya’s arrogant and proud behavior, she probably doesn’t want any unforeseen complications. That’s probably why she didn’t invite us or Ava.”
“She definitely wants to nip this in the bud so it’ll be too late for us to do anything after this. Even if Dan regains his memory, there’s no way to change the fact that he and Naya are married.” Madeline exposed Naya’s dirty tricks.
Jeremy thought so too. He looked in front of him and saw that Ava was playing with Pudding.
“Linnie, are you going to tell Ava about this?”
Madeline looked at Ava who had a smile on her face and shook her head. “I’m going to go see Naya.”
“Linnie, I’ll go with you.”
“No, I can go by myself.” Madeline smiled. “Don’t worry, I can handle it.”
Of course, Jeremy knew that Naya was not on the same level as his wife. However, he was still a little worried.
“If anything happens, be sure to notify me as soon as possible.”
“I will.” Madeline promised.
In order to not waste any time, Madeline drove directly to Graham Manor the next day. As soon as she arrived at the gate, Madeline saw a big congratulations banner hanging above it. It was clear that what was said in the invitation letter was the truth.
Daniel and Naya’s marriage was real.
Madeline parked the car and walked toward the gate. Before she got close, she saw that the servants in the yard were busy making arrangements.
“Work faster. I hired you to work, so why are you so slow?” Daniel’s mother urged the servants impatiently.
After Daniel’s mother scolded and complained about the servants, she turned around and saw Madeline, who was walking in through the gate.
“Eveline?” Daniel’s mother was very surprised. She then turned around and walked toward Madeline. “Eveline, what are you doing in our house? You’re not welcomed here.”
“You’re right. This is Graham Manor, and it doesn’t belong to just you. So, that’s why I’m here to look for Dan and not you,” Madeline said and walked inside calmly.
Daniel’s mother was furious when she saw that Madeline was still stubborn. She immediately chased after Madeline. “Eveline, this is my house and I’m the matriarch of this house. I didn’t let you in, so who do you think you are to barge in? Somebody, hurry up and kick her out!”
“I asked her to come.” Daniel’s voice suddenly sounded in front of them.
Daniel’s mother froze in her tracks. When she saw Daniel standing not far away from them, she quickly ran over with a look of nervousness on her face. “Dan, did you remember something? Why would you ask this person to come here?”
When Daniel heard what his mother said, he asked with even more curiosity, “Are you saying that it’s more probable for me to invite her over after I remember something?”
“Um…” His mother did not know how to retort. “Not entirely. I just think that you don’t have much of a relationship with her, so there’s no need for you both to see each other. You’re just normal friends from university.”
Daniel’s mother was perfunctory with him. When she saw that Daniel was insisting on letting Madeline into the house, she did not say no. Instead, she quickly walked to one side and called Naya.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2333
Naya was trying on a wedding gown in the bridal shop. After receiving the call from Daniel’s mother, she immediately drove back. She was worried that Madeline would tell Daniel something negative about her. She did not want anything to go wrong at this crucial time.
Back in the house.
Daniel asked Madeline to sit down, then asked the servant to bring them some tea and snacks.
“You’re Ava’s friend, Eveline.” Daniel looked at Madeline.
It sounded as if he was confirming their relationship.
Madeline smiled slightly. “Dan, you’re right. I’m Ava’s friend, but I’m also your friend. We’ve always been good friends.”
Daniel pondered thoughtfully as if he was digesting the information Madeline had just given him.
“Do you have no memory of the past at all?”
Daniel looked up and shook his head gently. “It seems that something is blocking the nerves to the part of my brain that’s associated with memory, so I can’t remember anything about the past. I have to think hard about it, but it’ll cause my head to feel heavy.”
“Then don’t think too hard,” Madeline suggested. “I know a doctor Who’s a very authoritative neurologist. He’s very confident that he’ll be able to cure you after he heard about your situation. Whenever you’re free, I can take you to see him.”
“Ava told me as well that she knew a very good neurologist…”
“It’s the same doctor Ava mentioned. He’s an authoritative figure in the field and also very skillful,” Madeline confirmed.
“Actually, I’m always free,” Daniel said. “I’m fine with any time, but…”
“Dan, don’t listen to her nonsense. There’s no such doctor.” Daniel’s mother came over and interrupted them.
After that, she warned Madeline in a very unfriendly tone, “Eveline, I won’t quibble with you if you came to give Dan your blessing for his marriage, but if you’re here for something else, then I have to ask you to leave immediately.”
Madeline calmly listened to Mrs. Graham’s words and raised her eyebrows calmly. “When Dan and Ava get married, I’ll definitely give them my best wishes. But if it’s with Naya? Don’t even think about it.”
Mrs. Graham’s face froze. She wanted to lose her temper and retort, but she soon heard what Madeline said to Daniel.
“Dan, it’s precisely because you’ve lost your memory that you can’t be at the mercy of others. The woman you loved the most before your memory loss was Ava, and you also proposed to Ava in front of everyone. Ava agreed to marry you. Plus, she has been worrying about you every day since your accident, so you can’t let her down.”
“Eveline, don’t make up nonsense and tell such lies to fool Dan. It’s clear that everything is all that woman’s wishful thinking and one-sided…”
“God is always watching. The truth can’t be covered up with just a few lies by you people,” Madeline interrupted Daniel’s mother coldly and decisively.
At this moment, Daniel’s eyebrows were already tightly furrowed. He seemed to be feeling very troubled by Madeline’s argument with his mother. Naturally, Daniel’s mother did not have Madeline’s aura. She wanted to retort, but after she thought about it, she could not come up with the right words.
Madeline was very calm. She lifted the tea to her lips and slowly took a sip.
Daniel’s mother was fuming as she watched that. “Eveline, you’ve said what you needed to say, so you can leave now. Stop hindering our family from celebrating this joyous celebration.”
“I’ll leave after I see the person I’m waiting for.” Madeline placed her teacup down slowly and calmly.
Daniel’s mother was confused. “You’re waitin g for someone? Who?”
The second Daniel’s mother finished talking, Naya quickly ran over from the doorway.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2334
Naya was trying on wedding gowns at a bridal shop near Graham Manor, so it did not take much time for her to get there. Moreover, she was speeding all the way, so she arrived quickly.
Madeline heard the footsteps and looked back. When she saw Naya’s hurried expression, she raised her pink lips slightly. “Miss Mendez, you came so quickly. Were you afraid that if you delayed for even a second, I would ruin your meticulous plans?”
Naya’s face sank, but since Daniel was here, she knew that she had to put on an act. She immediately responded with an aggrieved expression, “Mrs. Whitman, I really don’t understand what you mean by that. I know you and Ava are very good friends, but this is not how you should help your friend. You can’t slander me again and again.”
In the face of Naya’s fake disguise, Madeline only gave her a cold look with an unwavering expression.
“Naya, your acting skills are really superb. You can do one thing in front of others and do something completely different thing behind their backs. These tricks can only deceive those ignorant women and children.”
Daniel’s mother felt that Madeline was mocking her when she heard the words ‘ignorant women and children’.
She smacked her lips in dissatisfaction but did not seem to want to interrupt. Daniel’s mother simply stood at the side as she knew that Naya still had some fighting spirit left in her.
Naya started to stand up for herself at this moment. She turned toward Madeline quite imposingly and retorted, “Mrs. Whitman, don‘t go too far. Although the Montgomery and Whitman families have great power, this doesn’t mean you can bully me whenever you want.”
Naya walked up to Daniel with a face full of grievances.
“Dan, I don’t know what Mrs. Whitman told you, but you must not believe her. Since the day I decided to stay by your side when I was a child, my heart has always been yours. I’ve never lied to you.”
Naya raised her eyes while forcing tears to well up in them. She looked pitifully at Daniel who had a frown on his face.
Daniel did not say anything. Instead, he just looked at Naya.
Madeline looked down on such dirty tricks that Naya loved to pull the most. Naya knew how to put on an act, but Madeline knew how to expose her. However, Naya was also worried that Madeline would say something that would make Daniel suspect her. Hence, she decided to gain the initiative by striking first.
“Mrs. Whitman, please leave. I can stop pursuing you for your slander against me because you and Dan went to the same university back then. However, please stop disturbing me and Dan. We’re getting married soon and don’t want to be disturbed by irrelevant people. Please leave!”
Naya wanted badly to kick Madeline out at once. However, Madeline stood up slowly. “Naya, you were so confident when you told Ava that even if Dan regains his memory, Ava will never get back together with Dan. I was curious about it, but I understand now. So, this is how you want to get your hands on Dan who has lost his memories. Naya, you want to trick Dan into marriage.”
Naya’s expression changed immediately when Madeline exposed her plan all of a sudden. She was worried that Daniel would believe it, so she tried her best to maintain her good girl image in front of Daniel.
“Mrs. Whitman, I’ve never said something like that. I’ve never met Ava alone either. Stop making false accusations against me. I know you’re only saying these things to ruin my relationship with Dan for your good friend, but…”
“But Naya, you did say that, and you did meet Ava.”
“I didn’t.” Naya was still denied this. Then, she looked at Daniel who was silent the entire time. “Dan, I really didn’t meet up with Ava.”
“Naya, you talk so much crap, but in the end, you still can’t win against the footage captured by the dashcarn in my car. That disgusting and arrogant expression you showed when you were in front of the florist isn’t the same as this good girl image you’re putting on now. Do you want me to play the video so that Dan can admire it too?”
When Naya heard this, her confidence from a second ago was utterly crushed. She opened her mouth to retort but was even more afraid that Madeline would show Daniel the footage from that moment.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2335
She did not want her impression in Daniel’s heart which she had so painstakingly built since she was young to crumble now.
When Madeline saw that Naya had stopped retorting arrogantly, she smiled in satisfaction. She did not talk to Naya anymore. Instead, she faced Daniel.
“Dan, I think you already have an answer to who exactly is the one lying and putting on acts. I just want to tell you not to do anything that you’ll regret. Your amnesia is just temporary. You’ll remember everything soon. By then, you’ll also remember who you truly love.”
After Madeline said that, she peered at Naya and turned around to leave carefreely. Madeline spotted Naya glaring at her with an extremely aggressive look Madeline smiled calmly and arrogantly. “My dashcam didn’t capture anything, but the guilty party ended up revealing the truth with their silence.”
Naya finally realized that she had walked straight into Madeline’s trap. When she wanted to curse at Madeline, the woman had already left the doorway carefreely.
Naya turned around quickly and explained to Daniel while sobbing, “Dan, did you see how schemeful Eveline is? She’s doing this on purpose and wants to drive a wedge between us. You can’t believe her!”
Daniel lifted his warm eyes, then his gaze became stern all of a sudden. “I feel dizzy now. I want to go back to my room to rest…”
After he said that, he turned around to head toward the stairs.
Naya quickly followed after him. “Dan, we’re childhood sweethearts. Do you really not trust me?”
Daniel paused in his tracks. “I want to believe you, but can you tell me why you were quiet just now?”
Naya was speechless at that second. Then, she could only watch as Daniel left her and went upstairs. Naya clenched her fists in unwillingness when she recalled the trap Madeline had set for her. She clenched her teeth, but at this moment, there was no way for her to vent her anger.
“Great! After Madeline caused such a scene, Dan might really change his mind.” Daniel’s mother’s voice came softly from behind Naya.
She sounded as if she was saying that this was none of her business.
“Naya, if you don’t have any other ideas, you might not be able to have this wedding anymore.”
“No, I have to get married to Dan on the date we set!” Naya was very determined.
She did not bid farewell to Daniel’s mother before she turned around and barged out. Daniel’s mother did not stop her. However, she did not know what Naya would do to convince Daniel.
After Madeline left, Daniel locked himself in his room to think about things. Even though he had no memories of anything, he subconsciously would much rather believe in Madeline than Naya.
In the afternoon, someone knocked fiercely on Daniel’s door.
He thought the person was asking him to go down for dinner, but he heard his mother shrieking, “Dan, open the door! Something bad has happened!”
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2336
Daniel had no idea what was so urgent, but the hurried knocks gave him a headache.
“Dan, open the door now!” Daniel’s mother’s urgent voice could be heard.
Daniel got up and unlocked the door before opening it. When he saw his mother looking anxious, he frowned. “What happened? Why are you in such a hurry to look for me?”
“Something bad happened to Naya!” His mother emphasized.
For some reason, Daniel was calm when he heard the words. He just felt inexplicably irritated.
“What happened to her?”
“She left a suicide note and attempted suicide by overdosing!” Danie’s mother did not look like she was joking. “She’s being rescued in the hospital right now. We’re not sure if she’ll be able to make it. Dan, you have to go check on her no matter what.”
When Daniel learned of the situation, he did not delay things. He grabbed his coat and rushed to the hospital with his mother.
The doctor came out of the emergency department the moment they arrived.
Daniel saw Naya’s parents rushing over to ask about Naya’s situation. Then, the doctor quickly gave them an answer that reassured them.
“Sir, Madam, don’t worry. We were successful in pumping your daughter’s stomach, and she’s not in any danger now. However, she’s very weak and needs to rest well. Don’t trigger her again. Try to follow her wishes and fulfill her every need. Otherwise, she might do something irreversible after getting triggered again.”
“Thank you, Dr. Swift. We’ll keep that in mind.” Ethan thanked the doctor, and it seemed that he knew the doctor.
“It’s good that Naya’s fine. That’s good…”
Naya’s mother wiped away her tears at one side. She let out a sigh of relief and turned her head, only to see that Daniel and his mother were here. Then, Naya’s mother angrily barged over to Daniel and started scolding him. “Daniel Graham, what did our Naya do to you? Is she not good to you? How could you work with outsiders to hurt her? If you had sided with Naya, she wouldn’t have done something stupid to hurt herself.”
Daniel was confused and knitted his eyebrows together after being scolded by Naya’s mother.
“She did it because of me?”
“Just read it for yourself!” Naya threw a letter at him angrily.
Daniel hesitated for two seconds before he grabbed it. After he opened it, he saw that it was the suicide note Naya left before she took the pills.
Dan, I regret saying goodbye to you in this manner. Back then, I thought nothing could change our close bond no matter what. I was certain since I was a child that I wouldn’t have feelings for another man except you. I started falling for you when I was still an ignorant little girl. I thought we’d be fine. I thought we’d get married as expected, but a pestering woman appeared halfway and made me suffer endless grievances and humiliation.
I can stop fussing over everything. I can stop arguing about your entanglement with Ava, and I can stop fussing over Eveline’s slander against me. But I can’t accept how you look at me with so much distrust in your eyes. Dan, I’m very sad and emotionally exhausted. I was so happy that I would be your bride soon and we could have our family. However, I didn’t expect that you would grow distant from me just because of Eveline’s one-sided statement.
I’m tired, Dan. My heart hurts a lot and I don’t want to be in pain anymore. Hence, I’m bidding farewell to you.[Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. I’m an unfilial daughter. Please forgive me and please don’t blame Dan. Also, don’t blame Ava and Madeline because this is my choice.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2337
Goodbye, Dan. You have to be happy.
Finally, it was signed Naya Mendez.
This was a suicide note no matter how one looked at it. One seemed to be able to see Naya’s determination to die from the words she wrote.
“Dan, Naya did this for you.” Daniel’s mother advised Daniel after she finished reading Naya’s suicide note. “Naya is so stupid to have done such a ridiculous thing because of two outsiders. Ava and Eveline indirectly tried to kill her, that’s for sure. But Naya is most upset about you not trusting her, Daniel,” Naya’s mother emphasized. “Dan, Naya was just saved, so you have to take good care of her until she recovers. You heard what the doctor said just now. You can’t trigger Naya anymore.”
Daniel did not know the people in front of him, but he ultimately nodded when he looked at Naya’s suicide note again.
When Naya’s mother saw him nodding, she felt much more at ease. However, when she recalled the contents of Naya’s suicide note, she felt flames of anger rising within her chest again.
Old Whitman Manor.
It was time for dinner, so Madeline and her family were about to eat in the dining room. Ava held Pudding in her arms lovingly. She wanted to feed the little boy. Madeline felt at ease that Ava was so happy when she was with Pudding. However, right as she picked up her fork to eat, a maid quickly ran over.
“Sir, Madam, a woman angrily barged in and said she must meet the young madam and Miss Long.”
Madeline looked at Jeremy curiously. Before she could find out who this woman was, Naya’s mother appeared in front of them.
“Eveline, Ava, how can you two still be in the mood to eat?!” Naya’s mother started screaming. She had discarded her image of a prim and proper lady from the upper class a long time ago.
Karen knew Naya’s mother because they would always see each other in their circle of rich women. Now that Naya’s mother was pointing and screaming at Madeline, she naturally got up to protect Madeline.
“Mrs. Mendez, why are you pointing at my daughter-in-law and screaming at her? How did my daughter-in-law and her friend offend you?”
“Karen, you still have the nerve to ask! Your son is so unlucky to have married this kind of woman!”
“Shut up!” Jeremy interrupted coldly all of a sudden.
His cold gaze fell on Mrs. Mendez’s face. “It’s my greatest blessing to have married my wife. Mr. Mendez is the unfortunate one for having a wife like you and that kind of daughter.”
Naya’s mother did not think that Jeremy would retort to her like that. “You…”
“What? Is my son wrong?” Karen stopped being polite to Naya’s mother. “Look at you. You’re a lady from the upper class, yet you came here like a shrew. What is it that happened that can’t be discussed in a civilized manner?”
“Discuss in a civilized manner? How do you expect me to do that? My daughter took half a bottle of pills and attempted suicide after what your daughter-in-law said to her. We almost lost her. How do you expect me to talk calmly?”
A hint of doubt flashed across Madeline’s and Jeremy’s eyes when they heard this. However, Ava was surprised and confused. What did Maddie say that caused Naya to attempt suicide?
What happened?
Karen was also confused. “What are you talking about? Your daughter swallowed pills to kill herself? It’s good that they managed to save her, but what does my daughter-in-law have to do with your daughter’s suicide? Why would your daughter kill herself because of what my daughter-in-law said?”
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2338
Naya’s mother seemed to be so mad that she was about to go insane after hearing what Karen said to protect Madeline. She took out the suicide note that she got from Daniel and aggressively threw the paper at Karen.
After Karen caught it with her quick reflexes, she looked at Naya’s mother curiously.
“What’s this? Why did you throw this at me?”
“That’s my daughter’s suicide note!” Naya’s mother seemed to have roared this sentence through gritted teeth. “Karen, look at my daughter’s suicide note. Do you still think that your daughter-in-law is not at fault?”
When Madeline heard the furious words of Naya’s mother, she recalled what had happened this morning when she went to Graham Manor.
“Naya’s suicide note?” Ava frowned and walked behind Karen with Pudding.
After Karen opened this suicide note, Madeline and the rest of them quickly saw the contents of the letter.
Naya’s seemingly helpless and devastated complaints were written in the note. She accused Madeline and Ava of working together to falsely accuse her and slander her. She was also upset that Daniel did not trust her.
However, toward the end of the letter, Naya seemed kind enough to ask her parents not to pursue this with anyone. She looked like such a highly principled and kind woman.
However, to Madeline and the rest of them, Naya’s suicide note looked like it was something a two-sided b*tch would write.
“Karen, have you read it clearly? Do you see how evil your daughter-in-law is? I’ll post this online and seek justice for my daughter!”
After Naya’s mother said this, she reached out to take back the suicide note.
Then, Karen quickly retracted her hand.
“Karen, what’s the meaning of this? Give me back my daughter’s suicide note!” Naya’s mother reached out her hand and demanded aggressively.
Karen said with a solemn expression on her face, “I believe that my daughter-in-law isn’t that sort of person. If you post this suicide note online, you’ll only make those keyboard warriors, who wish for the world to be in chaos, hurt my Eveline’s reputation.”
“If I can’t ruin that woman’s reputation, does it mean my daughter deserves to die because she was triggered?”
“Stop being so unreasonable!”
Ava suddenly said something. She handed Pudding, who was in her arms, to the maid. She walked in front of Naya’s mother with a serious look on her face.
“The decision Naya made whether to live or die falls on her shoulders alone. It has nothing to do with anyone here. Stop throwing a tantrum. If you really care about your spoiled daughter, you should go back to watch her in case she’s so fragile that she chooses to try and kill herself again if she can’t see her mother.”
“Well, well, well, Ava! You’re so evil!”
“No matter how evil I am, it doesn’t even amount to one-tenth of how evil Naya is,” Ava retorted in neither an obsequious nor a supercilious manner. “I believe as her mother, you know as well how scary Naya can be. After all, you gave birth to her.”
Naya’s mother was so mad that she did not know what to say in return.
Madeline smiled calmly too. Then, she took the so-called suicide note from Karen’s hand.
Karen was worried and also confused. “Eveline, what…”
“Mom, don’t worry about me. True blue will never stain. Have I, Eveline Montgomery, not suffered any grievances in my lifetime? I believe that the truth will come out eventually.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2339
Madeline said magnanimously and handed the suicide note to Naya’s mother.
“Go ahead. You can expose me on the internet, and you can also hire more paid posters to attack me with all their might. But if you think that doing this can somehow make you be in the right, then you’re more naive than my youngest son.”
Naya’s mother was scolded by Ava and Madeline one after another. Her face was ashen due to anger. She grabbed the suicide note from Madeline’s hand and pointed at Madeline angrily.
“Eveline, don’t think that you can be so unbridled and arrogant just because you have the Whitmans and the Montgomeries supporting you. I want to see how proud you can continue to be when I expose the fact that you forced my daughter to her death on the internet!” Naya’s mother pointed at Madeline angrily and quickly turned away after warning her.
After Naya’s mother left, Madeline felt more at peace, but Ava was worried about Madeline.
“Maddie, when did you go to look for Naya? Did you go look for her for me?”
At this point, Madeline knew that there was no need to hide it from Ava anymore. However, Jeremy, who was next to her, explained it to Ava before she could.
“Yesterday, Linnie found out that Daniel and Naya are going to get married next week, so she went to look for Naya today. Perhaps Daniel was suspicious of Naya and didn’t want to proceed with the wedding, so Naya decided to put on an act and pretended to commit suicide.”
Jeremy calmly analyzed the situation. He had seen through the details of this matter clearly.
Madeline also agreed with Jeremy. It must be because Daniel had doubts about the lies fabricated by Naya, so she deliberately pretended to commit suicide in order to convince Daniel, who had amnesia, to believe her. However, after Ava heard that, she could not keep her cool anymore.
“Danny is marrying Naya? Next week? How can this be?” Ava could not accept the news.
“Ava, you must calm down and be clear-headed about this matter. Dan is being taken advantage of because of his amnesia. He was instilled with some memories that don’t belong to him, so he’s in a very passive state.” Madeline hurriedly held Ava’s hand to reassure her.
“Naya is a very scheming and wicked woman. She had a plan when she deliberately misled Dan to marry her. You have to believe that all this wasn’t Dan’s idea. Dan must’ve believed what I said this morning, so that’s why Naya put on this act.”
After listening to Madeline’ s comforting words, Ava’s emotions were gradually soothed. She knew that she should trust Daniel. Even though he had lost his memory, she could still see the same tender look in the depths of Daniel’s eyes when he looked at her.
Right now, Ava was just worried that Madeline’s reputation would be tarnished.
Sure enough, after Naya’s mother went back, she asked the company‘s technical department to publish Naya’s suicide note online. She also spent some money to make it go viral. She displayed the exaggerated headline ‘Eveline Montgomery Forced Naya Mendez to Her Death’ on the trending searches.
Soon, Madeline became the target of abuse from keyboard warriors and other netizens after they read the suicide note and saw the photos of Naya looking weak in the hospital. However, Madeline had gone through countless trials and tribulations since long ago. For her, these could not cause her any harm. However, the incident caused a decline in the share price of Whitman Corporation and Montgomery Enterprise.
Even so, Jeremy’s and Madeline’s parents did not care about the impact on their share prices. They only cared about Madeline’s feelings and opinions.
When Ava saw those malicious words directed at Madeline, she could imagine how happy Naya was when she saw all this happening.
After finding out which hospital and ward Naya was staying in, Ava prepared a recording device and a small camera in advance. She planned to let everyone see Naya’s true colors. After she found Naya’s ward, Ava waited outside for a while. When she saw Naya’s mother leaving, she waited for a while more before pushing the door open to go in.
]]>
Married by Mistake – Chapter 2340
In truth, Naya had been pretending to be sick all this while. Her attempt to commit suicide by overdosing was just a show she put on. She was in good spirits, and her body was not hurt in the slightest.
When her mother went out to buy food, she was comfortably holding her phone and reading the abuse the netizens were hurling at Madeline. At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of someone pushing the door open. She thought Daniel had come to see her, so she immediately put down her phone and pretended to look weak However, when she saw that it was Ava, she was stunned for a moment. She did not speak and just looked at Ava with suspicious eyes. She continued to look weak.
“Ava, what are you doing here? Who let you into my ward? I don’t want to see you.” Naya furrowed her brows tightly and looked at Ava with a face of disgust.
“Mom… Where are you? Mom?” Naya called out for her mother in the direction of the door in an unusually weak tone.
Ava looked at the pretentious Naya and walked toward her while finding the situation ridiculous.
“Naya, there’s no one else here. Stop pretending.”
Seeing Ava approaching, Naya’s face even showed a trace of panic.
“Ava, please stop coming here. I really don’t want to see you!” Naya said in an unusually weak tone, and her expression became even more flustered.
“I know you like Dan very much, so I won’t fight with you, okay? As long as you love him, I won’t argue with you about anything else. After this, I’ll ask my dad and mom to call off the marriage. Please give me a break and stop asking Eveline to come to trouble me again. I just want to live a quiet life now…” As she spoke, Naya burst into tears.
Ava looked at Naya’s hypocritical acting. She was sick to her stomach.
“Naya, do you think I‘ll be fooled if you say something like this and pretend to be pitiful? You’re a very cunning and insidious woman! You planned this out and put on such an act just so you can win Danny’s sympathy, right? Danny has amnesia now, but that doesn’t mean he has no sense of judgment. I’m warning you, don’t overdo it.”
Ava thought that if she angered Naya like this, Naya would surely break character. However, Naya displayed an even more pitiful expression instead. Tears also fell from her eyes.
“I don’t even know what you’re talking about. Dan and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. We experienced many ups and downs together. It’s only natural that we’ll develop feelings for each other, but you suddenly appeared and fell in love with Dan, so you want to steal him from me. You even teamed up with your good friend to slander me, demean me, and hurt me. I really don’t want to live anymore.”
“Naya, stop pretending!” Ava could not stand it any longer. “Do you think I don’t know that you’re acting? You said you don’t want to live anymore, so why are you still alive and well now?”
Ava suddenly reached out and grabbed Naya’s wrist. “Naya, you’re thrilled to see Maddie being abused by netizens because of what your mother posted on the internet, right? Heartbreak? Attempting suicide by overdosing? Leaving behind a suicide note? Only those who haven’t seen your true colors will believe it! You harmed me, then hired someone to be the scapegoat. Now, you’re lying to Danny and framing Maddie. I won’t let you go unpunished!”
Ava said and pulled Naya’s wrist hard. “Get up! Naya, get the hell up!”
“No, Ava, don’t pull me. I feel so uncomfortable. Please just get me a break. I’ll let you have Dan. Please don’t bother me again. I just want to live peacefully.”
“Naya, you’re so good at acting. If you want to live a peaceful life, you wouldn’t have caused so much trouble. Don’t think you can get away after finding a scapegoat to take the blame for what happened to my car. Listen to me. The truth wlll come out sooner or later! I’ll find evidence to prove that you’re the real murderer!”
“No, I didn’t do anything like that… Ava, let me go, I beg you,” Naya said with a very humble attitude. Then, she suddenly turned her head toward the door and shouted weakly, “Help, help..!”
Ava knew that Naya was just pretending, but she was making it seem very real this time.
Seeing that Naya wanted to break free from her grip, Ava wanted to tighten her grip. However, at this moment, the door of the ward suddenly opened.
