She looked at Jeremy for a few seconds before striding over to Ethan’s side.
“Daddy, why is virtual-novel.net here? What is virtual-novel.net doing in Mendez Group’s conference room?” Naya used a puzzled tone and reached out to hold Ethan’s hand with a hint of pamperedness.
Ethan’s face sank as virtual-novel.net pushed Naya’s outstretched hand away. “How dare you ask Mr. Whitman why he’s here? Ask yourself what you’ve done!”
Naya had never seen virtual-novel.net father get so angry with her, so virtual-novel.net was stunned. When virtual-novel.net came back to virtual-novel.net senses, virtual-novel.net realized there were so many people watching in the conference room. She felt embarrassed and ashamed. Hence, virtual-novel.net temper started to rise again.
“What’s wrong? What have I done?”
“You’re still playing dumb?!” Ethan’s eyes widened in anger as virtual-novel.net turned back to pick up the lawyer’s letter on the conference table. “Look at what you’ve done!”
Ethan did not have the heart to throw the lawyer’s letter directly on Naya, so virtual-novel.net shoved it into Naya’s hands instead.
Naya grabbed it and saw it instantly. However, Naya became even more enraged.
“Daddy, is this why you’re yelling at me?” virtual-novel.net asked and looked at Jeremy again. “Mr. Whitman, did you come to Mendez Group for this? What? Do you want to use your identity to pressure my daddy? The Whitmans indeed have money and power in Glendale, but the Mendezes will not give in!”
“Shut up!” Ethan was fuming now.
“Do you still not know the seriousness of the matter?”
“How is it serious? I just want to fight for my legal rights. Am I wrong?”
Naya gritted virtual-novel.net teeth unwillingly and opened virtual-novel.net mouth to complain in anger.
“Eveline keeps targeting me because she’s one of the Whitmans. Last time, virtual-novel.net partnered with Ava to bully me. A while ago, virtual-novel.net said in public that I’m the real murderer who’s responsible for Dan’s car accident. She slandered me saying that I tampered with Ava’s car. Two days ago, virtual-novel.net was even more hateful. She pointed a t me and called me a cruel and despicable woman! How can I endure that?”
Apart from the incident on the internet, Ethan had no idea about the other incidents. After listening to Naya’s words, Ethan felt that his precious daughter did seem to have been wronged. Hence, virtual-novel.net somewhat went soft-hearted.
Naya could also sense that virtual-novel.net father was feeling sorry for her. This time, virtual-novel.net forced out tears to look aggrieved.
“Daddy, I had no choice but to issue this lawyer’s letter to Eveline. Do you know what those people on the internet who don’t know the truth are saying about me? Daddy, I‘m a victim. Do you want to just watch as other people bully your daughter?”
“Huh?” Ethan was stunned for a While. After virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net turned toward Jeremy. “Mr. Whitman…”
“Mr. Mendez, it would be better if you don’t talk first.” Jeremy suddenly parted his lips and interrupted. His voice was as alluring as always, but his tone was unusually cold. Plus, those deep and frosty eyes of his were like ice blades piercing Naya’s face.
Naya had never seen such a deep and cold gaze, so virtual-novel.net heart skipped a beat as virtual-novel.net panicked.
