Chapter 1053
"Are you toying with me? Or does this mean you don't plan on taking responsibility at all?" Alicia felt as if she had been mocked.
Since he didn't ask any questions, it means that he knows what happened. He knows that I came here to stand up for Suella, and yet he has the gall to say such things! It's as if he's certain that I can't do anything to him! It's just like what Suella said.
"What does this have to do with me?" Danny was rather affronted. Did a person have to take responsibility for enjoying the show?
"Suella said you forced herself on to her, so you tell me whether or not it has something to do with you."
"I can't believe it! Here I am minding my own business when all of a sudden, I get thrown under the bus?" Danny almost wanted to cry. "That's a baseless accusation! Suella walked out of Maverick's room, the one opposite ours, so how can I be the one to blame?"
Alicia glanced at Room 205 behind her. She felt a little uncertain. "Suella said so herself. I don't think she would make a mistake about something like that."
"If you put it that way, my memory's flawless too. I was with my fiancée last night and we spent the whole night together. I won't be misremembering things," Danny huffed and shamelessly declared.
What kind of nonsense is this?! By the time I woke up, Suella was already all wrapped up like a burrito. I only saw her when we moved her into Maverick's room, and all I saw were her feet! This is a blatant attempt to hit me with a false accusation!
Alicia had a long night prior to this, and she spent a long time tussling with Suella over this. Danny's attitude was also giving her a headache. "Mr. Danny, you should know that I only came to talk to you because you said we're friends. I hope you know that for situations like these, I can just go right ahead and make a police report."
She hoped that both parties would be upfront about this instead of trying to shirk responsibility. If drugs or sedatives had been involved in some way, she was willing to go on his behalf and seek Suella's forgiveness, but his attitude disappointed her.
"Back at you. It's only because I consider you my friend and my savior that I'm willing to listen to this. Trust me, Miss Heidelberg. Had it been anyone else who came to my door out of the blue to slander me, I would've thrown them out right away." Danny shrugged.
Though he did seem like an irresponsible guy, it didn't mean that he was one.
"All right. I get what you're saying." Alicia gave up trying to debate this with him. After giving it some thought, she said, "Suella tried to take her own life just now. I stopped her and promised that I'll help her seek out an appropriate amount as compensation. Since you said you didn't do it, I'm sure you won't be forking out the money. I can provide the money, but I hope you can cooperate with me and make a show of apologizing to her anyway. I'll transfer the money to you and you can give it to her. How's that?"
As soon as she said that, Ariel came over and declared, "We won't be giving any money or putting on any show either. If Suella doesn't even know whose bed she came down from, that means she's a fool. Our money doesn't grow on trees and our time is just as precious. We have no reason to sacrifice anything for the sake of her stupidity."
As soon as she said that, Ariel came over and declared, "We won't be giving any money or putting on any show either. If Suella doesn't even know whose bed she came down from, that means she's a fool. Our money doesn't grow on trees and our time is just as precious. We have no reason to sacrifice anything for the sake of her stupidity."
Alicia frowned. "Miss Whitney, I know you don't like Suella, and I admit that she's problematic in many ways, but she's still my friend. If you're going to be this cold and indifferent, I have no choice but to get my lawyer to talk to you."
"It's good to have a sense of righteousness, but you should also be discerning and see whether the person you're trying to help is worth standing up for or not," Ariel said pointedly. "Feel free to sue us, but don't forget to remind her to get her medical report done at an established medical institution. We won't accept any reports from some unknown hospital in the middle of nowhere."
Then, she opened her hand to reveal the two strands of hair that had been wrapped separately in tissue. She had been holding onto them for quite some time now. "Here are two DNA samples. The longer one belongs to Maverick and the shorter one belongs to Danny. I'm sure you'll have use of it."
She had been the first to wake up last night, so she made sure to plan for possible situations to avoid arguments like the one today, but she didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
Danny felt his hair. "When did you cut it? Why didn't I notice anything?"
Ariel and Danny's frank manner made Alicia a lot less suspicious of them, but she took the hairs anyway. "I hope the outcome won't make things ugly between us."
She took the strands of hair and left using the stairs.
"That's weird. Why did she take the stairs instead of using the perfectly functional elevator?" Danny remarked.
Before Ariel could reply, he spoke up again. "Who cares about her? You're so smart, Honey. Here's a kiss!"
"Hold it." Ariel pressed her finger against his lips. "Your name hasn't been cleared yet. Suspects will have to stay six feet away from me."
She turned around and went back into the room.
