Chapter 49 A Taxi Driver
Joshua gazed at her, trying to see if she was telling the truth.
He always felt that Lexic had deliberately called Danica over to warn him.
Lexie‘s eyes turned tearful. “Joshua, don‘t you believe me?”

Lexie looked sincere as if Joshua‘s words really hurt her.
As she spoke, her tears fell.
Joshua hesitated for a while, but still pulled her into his arms and comforted her in a low voice. “It‘s my fault. I had a hard time at work recently, so I misunderstand you. I‘m sorry.”
He actually suspected her just now.
This was crazy.
This was the woman who had saved him and given him a new life.
He had an obligation to protect her for a lifetime.
This was an oath that he made five years ago, and he could not infringe on it.
The police contacted Anaya to update the records. Anaya‘s shoulder injury had not recovered yet. She could not drive, so she took a taxi.
Daisy and Todd were still jailed in the police station for the time being. Anaya heard the couple scolding each other from afar. The content of the scolding was nasty. No matter how the police on duty scolded them, they didn‘t stop quarreling.
The policewoman who led Anaya in sighed, “Both of them are arrogant. It can be considered lucky that they became a couple. Fortunately, they will be transferred in the afternoon...”
Anaya noticed the helplessness of the policewoman‘s words. Presumably, everyone in the police station had been tortured by this couple.
Anaya asked, “How are they going to be sentenced?”
“I don‘t know yet. We are waiting for the court‘s decision. I guess that they won‘t be able to be released from prison.”
“Daisy has only stolen two bags ... Is the punishment for stealing so severe?”
The policewoman asked curiously, “Don‘t you read the news?”
“No, I haven‘t read the news today.”
The policewoman patiently said, “Last night, a piece of news was released. Many construction problems exist in the Toyar Construction Company‘s project. The workers of the company use inferior materials during the building process... Do you know about the Toyar Construction Company? It‘s the company of Daisy‘s family.”
Anaya nodded in agreement.
The policewoman continued, “According to news reports, most of the members of the board of directors in the Toyar Construction Company came from the underworld. A few years ago, a case of burying corpses in the playground was also related to the directors of Toyar Construction Company. In addition, several construction accidents had happened before in the Toyar Construction Company‘s projects, but the company had covered them up with the
money.
“After the news was released last night, the government started an investigation overnight. Now all the higher–ups of Toyar Construction Company are basically detained. Daisy works in her own company, and she must be involved.”
“This company has been beset with a crisis overnight. I‘ve never seen such big news in my life...”
Anaya did not expect that so many things would happen in one night and was a little surprised.
It was obvious that someone deliberately did it since much bad news about Toyar Construction Company was reported overnight.
Toyar Construction Company probably had provoked powerful rivals. Its unscrupulousness had led to disaster.
Coming out of the police station, Anaya took a taxi and took out her phone to read the news.
All of a sudden, the driver slammed the brakes:
It made Anaya‘s heart beat faster,
In her last life, she died in a car accident. There were no‘obvious aftereffects, but she was still more sensitive than others.
She looked up and asked the driver, “What happened?”
“I almost hit a car just now.”
The driver hurriedly got out of the car to check the situation, and Anaya also got out of the car.
Fortunately, the driver braked in time and did not hit the car in front of him.
Two people came out of the car.
“Are you alright?”
The man‘s voice was clear and pleasant, and Anaya instantly recognized him.
She turned her head and saw Hearst walking over.
The man stopped in front of her and looked at her up and down. When he saw that she was fine, he stopped knitting his brows.
The driver said apologetically, “I‘m really sorry. I almost hit your car...”
“It‘s fine.”
The driver still wanted to apologize, but his phone rang. “Hello?
“Is my wife going to give birth? Which hospital? I’ll be there soon!”
The driver looked joyful and hung up the phone. He said in perplexity, “I’m going to change shifts soon...”
He looked at Anaya and asked, “Miss, can you please help me drive the car to the bank on Fifth Avenue? My colleague is waiting for me there to change shifts… I will pay you the commission.”
Samuel whispered, “He is so careless. Isn‘t he afraid that Ms. Dutt will run away?”
He thought, when did Hearst become such a cunning person?
Lexie thought, do they have actually been in contact all along?
