Chapter 123: The Consequences of Jealousy.
"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.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"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.!"
"Mom, this matter has nothing to do with you." Edward responds coldly.
"It has nothing to do with me? The person who hit Jacquiline is obviously Alice, but you just don't believe it. Jacquiline was harmed by Alice, but you are actually forcing Jacquiline to help Alice!"
"Auntie..." Jacquiline stops Janet with tears, and says sadly, "I can understand Edward. Alice and I have been friends for many years. I don't want to believe it, but... I watched her personally driving a car to hit me. I..."
Speaking of this, Jacquiline covers her face, which looks so painful.
Now, Janet hates Alice even more. She directly drives Edward out of the room, "If I see you embarrass Jacquiline again, I will go to the police station..."
"Mom!" Edward says angrily.
Janet doesn't care at all. She hopes that Alice has to stay at the jail for a few more years now. Alice actually dares to hit Jacquiline with a car. This woman is so vicious, but Edward just cares about her. When Janet thinks of this, she feels so hurt. What a misfortune!
Because of Edward, John is transferred to a private high-end hospital.
But John's injuries are too serious. In addition, he knows that Alice has been taken to prison again, so his mood fluctuates so severely that he has a high fever again that night.
"Brother, will John be okay?" Rebecca looks at Albert with a pitiful look and asks eagerly.
Albert stretches out his hand to touch Rebecca's head. He comforts her, "Yes, John will be fine."
"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.0000000☐☐☐☐
