Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 172

Nate's POV:

I was depressed as I watched the company's stock prices plummeting that morning.

Just when I was lost in thought, the police knocked on my door.

I stood up and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

A middle-aged police officer walked in and asked in a serious tone, "Is Rita Lively here?"

Rita stood up at once and asked, "What's the matter?" "We suspect you to be involved in an attempted murder case, so please come with us to the police station. I suggest you cooperate with the investigation."

As soon as the policeman finished his words, another younger police office walked to Rita, holding a pair of handcuffs.

I immediately lunged forward intending to stop the policeman. "Sir, is there some kind of a misunderstanding?"

"We'll know that after we investigate the matter," the policeman said before he tried to put the handcuffs on Rita.

Rita immediately covered her chest as though she was about to faint.

"Mom, I want to go to the hospital. My heart

hurts..."

She leaned against the sofa weakly with a pale face.

Susan immediately held her and said to the policeman, "Sir, my daughter is having a heart attack! Call a doctor."

"There is no need for that. Take her to the hospital right away," I said calmly.

The policemen glanced at each other before they made way for us.

Rita kept looking out of the window on our way and asked, "Mom, are the policemen still on our tail?"

"I... I don't know." Susan was clearly frightened. She was trembling.

Seeing her like that, I frowned and said in a cold voice, "What are you so afraid of? It's just the police, and you're already scared to death!"

Hearing that, Susan calmed down and asked Rita, "What happened?"

"Charles is probably the one trying to sue me..." Rita replied in a low voice.

"Charles wants to sue you?" I asked with a frown.

Shaking her head, Rita said in a voice that was filled with hatred, "No. It's not him. I am sure that bitch, Scarlett, is the one behind all this!"

"The police are following us. Let's get to the hospital first," I said indifferently.

Susan looked back and asked in a hurry, "What should we do now?" "What can they do? Scarlett is fine now. Dad, find me a good lawyer."

I nodded in reply.

It was clear that Rita was going to have to stay in the hospital for the next few days.

I left the hospital after that, and went to the Moore Group to meet Charles. I wanted to ask him what happened, but he did not seem to want to see me.

Just when I was about to walk out of the door, someone stopped me.

"Hello. Are you Mr. Lively?"

When I turned around, there was a beautiful young woman in front of me. She was wearing a deep-neck tight dress, which emphasized her beautiful figure.

I straightened up my clothes and greeted her, "Hello. Who are you?"

"I'm Lily, a friend of your daughter. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."

"Oh, hi, Lily! Are you free to grab some coffee with me?"

Lily smiled at me and nodded in reply.

I stared at her while I sat in the cafe, admiring her.

She had flawless supple skin and beautiful eyes, which made me take a fancy to her at the first sight of her.

"How is Rita doing? Well, I heard that she had a conflict with the others last night," Lily said slowly.
