"It can't be Alice!" Edward says loudly. His eyes fixes on Jacquiline, as if she is lying which makes him very angry.
The more so, the more aggrieved Jacquiline feels, she is the one who is hit by the car!
Why is he only worried about Alice? He has never thought about how much pain she has experienced after she was hit by the car. Now she can’t move her legs and can only rely on recuperation. She can’t walk for at least three months. But he doesn’t care about these, instead of asking her to speak for Alice.
"But isn't that car given to her by you? I know that bag is hers." Jacquiline looks down to hide her hateful gaze. She hides her tightly clenched hands, and says these 'evidences' to remind Edward that the goddess in his heart is not so 'innocent'!
Listening to Jacquiline's words, Edward shows disappointment, but he is full of irritability because of Jacquiline's refusal of helping Alice. What should he do now?
Edward doesn't say anything, so Jacquiline looks up at him. She sees his worried gaze. Obviously, he is worried about Alice.
She can't help but shows a self-deprecating smile. She and Edward are childhood sweethearts for more than ten years, but the relationship can’t compare with Alice. Even if Edward can care about her a little, she won’t feel so desperate.
“Alice, if you have to blame someone, jut blame Edward for being too cruel. You offend the Hale family too much.” Jacquiline thinks to herself.
"Five years ago, I heard from my aunt that she was with Charles. What’s more, she was also taken some erotic pictures. After being exposed, she signed the divorce agreement and left. At that time, I didn't believe it. Now, through the car accident, I…"
"Enough!" Edward lets out a low growl. He stares at Jacquiline angrily. If it weren't for her getting injury, he would be mad with her.
In the face of his anger, Jacquiline is not afraid but to laugh, "Edward, originally, I believed she would not do this, but the fact is the fact, I have no choice but have to believe it."
Yes, she originally thought she can hide her secret love. She can watch them happy together in silence.
But... She’s not as great as she thought. She can't help but to want to fight for herself. They have been separated, haven’t they? Then why does she have to help them be together without reservation this time?
There has never been fair in this world.
"Mr. Edward, the procedures have been completed..." After Martin completes the procedures as quickly as possible, he feels something wrong as soon as he steps into the ward. What happened to the two cousins?
Edward just looks at Jacquiline without speaking, as if he hasn't heard what Martin said.
Jacquiline doesn’t say a word, either. She even closes her eyes silently. She is trying to force her tears back. He wants her to come back to testify that Alice is innocent, so he is so anxious to let her out of the hospital.
But she thought he wants to take care of her personally.
"Mr. Edward?" Martin calls out tentatively.
"Then leave the hospital."
Edward speaks coldly. He takes out the phone to give a call to his assistant, then he turns around to walk out of the ward, leaving Jacquiline in the wards. Jacquiline quietly opens her eyes.
Looking at Edward's back, Jacquiline can’t help but crying. It turns out he can be so cruel if he doesn’t love her.
……
After Janet receives the news that Jacquiline will come back to recuperate, she finds three nurses to take care of Jacquiline.
But after Jacquiline comes back, Janet feels something weird. When she hears Edward asking Jacquiline to recall carefully the characteristics of the person who hit her in the car accident, she immediately gets angry, "Edward! You actually force Jacquiline to help that woman.!"
"What about Mommy?" Rebecca asks again. She has been missing Mommy these days. But she doesn't want Rupert and John to worry about her, so she doesn’t dare to show sadness. When she thinks of Mommy being in the dark and cold cell, she can't help crying.
It’s all that bad woman and that bad grandma’s faults.
"Mommy will come out. If Edward doesn’t have ways, after John gets better, maybe we can find evidence from John to help Mommy clear of the charge."
"Well."
The two children look at the key nursing ward at the same time. They silently pray that John can be better soon.
……
In the president’s office of SA Group.
Due to big boss being bad mood during this period, the entire office building is as if in a depressed state. The employees all work overtime. They only hope that the boss can be a little happy.
In this situation, Allen is the first to bear the brunt.
Facing Edward's cold and indifferent face all day long, Allen also feels nervous. He knows the reason is the boss' ex-wife, Alice.
"Mr. Edward, this is the information that has just been investigated." Allen respectfully submits the document to Edward and places them on the desk, then steps back, waiting for Edward to speak.
Edward looks at the documents. His expression becomes more and more serious. Finally, he throws them aside, leaning on the soft chair, frowning.
