The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 399

In between the lines, there was a hint of resentment.

After all, in Paloma's eyes, the young couple had a quarrel, and in the end, her own son ended up in the ICU due to a car accident! That would be uneasy for anyone.

"Everett, is that so?" Huxley didn't allow Heather's words to mislead him, nor did he help her up. Instead, he addressed Everett directly.

Huxley disliked Heather, thinking she was too cunning! He would rather believe Everett's words.

"Heather, are you suggesting that Jeffrey's accident happened because he didn't notice the oncoming traffic?" Everett didn’t answer Huxley directly; instead, he questioned Heather. "But after reviewing the surveillance footage, it’s clear that a car recklessly crashed into him, leading to the accident. You are twisting the facts here."

"I... I didn't! I wasn’t aware of the details, and I didn't see the surveillance footage, so I just assumed it was because he just didn't pay attention to other cars!"

Everett tightened his lips, his eyes fixed on her with a stern gaze.

"You're just trying to clear your name, to make his parents think you didn't know."

Her lie punctured, Heather was a bit flustered, but still pretended to be calm.

"Everett, what are you implying? Are you suggesting that I caused Jeffrey's accident?"

"There will be an investigation, no need for your theatrics here."

Huxley and Paloma heard every word of their conversation. While Huxley remained composed, Paloma was visibly shocked.

"You two...aren't you married? Why are you talking to each other like this?"

"I have nothing to do with Heather." Everett bluntly clarified, showing no intention of saving dignity for Heather, "As for Jeffrey's case, I will investigate thoroughly. I’ll keep communicating with the doctors, and once he wakes up, the truth will be revealed."
