Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 257

While Daniel was still dealing with the mess Jennifer had left behind, he received a call from Conor.

"Mr. Ashcroft, something has happened!" Conor said in a voice filled with urgency.

"Let's talk about it when I get back," Daniel replied calmly. After giving Charlene a quick explanation, he got up and left.

Jennifer heaved a sigh of relief.

Charlene sighed and shook her head. "Why do you two have to be like this?"

"I refuse to accept this outcome!" Jennifer muttered, then began cleaning up the table in front of her.

Charlene could only sigh helplessly at how stubborn she was being.

On his way back, Daniel was cut off by another car. He frowned, his expression turning cold as he pushed open the door. But when he saw who it was, he felt a little awkward.

Amelia stood with her head down, the two of them facing each other in silence.

"About what happened that day—" They spoke almost simultaneously.

Amelia finally couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Mr. Ashcroft, I came here today to tell you what had happened that day was a misunderstanding. Yes, just a misunderstanding!"

After saying this, she turned around and walked back to her car.

Daniel raised his hand. "Ms. Quinn, wait—"

Amelia's ears turned visibly red when she heard him calling out to her. But she didn't turn back. Instead, she got into her car and sped away.

Daniel couldn't help but smirk as he watched Amelia's car swerve awkwardly.

That night, Amelia was definitely caught in the crossfire. In the past few days, Daniel hadn't heard anything from her, so naturally, he couldn't just show up uninvited.
