Chapter 2296

She looked at Jeremy for a few seconds before striding over to Ethan's side.

“Daddy, why is he here? What is he doing in Mendez Group’s conference room?” Naya used a puzzled tone and reached out to hold Ethan's hand with a hint of pamperedness.

Ethan's face sank as he pushed Naya's outstretched hand away. “How dare you ask Mr. Whitman why he’s here? Ask yourself what you’ve done!”

Naya had never seen her father get so angry with her, so she was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she realized there were so many people watching in the conference room. She felt embarrassed and ashamed. Hence, her temper started to rise again.

“What's wrong? What have J done?”

“You're still playing dumb?!” Ethan's eyes widened in anger as he turned back to pick up the lawyer's letter on the conference table. “Look at what you’ve done!”

Ethan did not have the heart to throw the lawyer's letter directly on Naya, so he shoved it into Naya's hands instead.

Naya grabbed it and saw it instantly.

However, Naya became even more enraged. “Daddy, is this why you’re yelling at me?” she asked and looked at Jeremy again. “Mr. Whitman, did you come to Mendez Group for this? What? Do you want to use your identity to pressure my daddy? The Whitmans indeed have money and power in Glendale, but the Mendezes will not give in!”

“Shut up!”

Ethan was fuming now.

“Do you still not know the seriousness of the matter?”

“How is it serious? I just want to fight for my legal rights. Am I wrong?”

Naya gritted her teeth unwillingly and opened her mouth to complain in anger.

“Eveline keeps targeting me because she’s one of the Whitmans. Last time, she partnered with Ava to bully me. A while ago, she said in public that I’m the real murderer who’s responsible for Dan's car accident. She slandered me saying that I tampered with Ava’s car. Two days ago, she was even more hateful. She pointed at me and called me a cruel and despicable woman! How can I endure that?”

Apart from the incident on the internet, Ethan had no idea about the other incidents.

After listening to Naya's words, Ethan felt that his precious daughter did seem to have been wronged.

Hence, he somewhat went soft - hearted. Naya could also sense that her father was feeling sorry for her. This time, she forced out tears to look aggrieved.

“Daddy, I had no choice but to issue this lawyer's letter to Eveline. Do you know what those people o nthe internet who don't know the truth are saying about me? Daddy, I'm a victim. Do you want to just watch as other people bully your daughter?”

«..” Ethan was stunned for a while. After he thought about it, he turned toward Jeremy. “Mr. Whitman...”

“Mr. Mendez, it would be better if you don’t talk first.”

Jeremy suddenly parted his lips and interrupted. His voice was as alluring as always, but his tone was unusually cold. Plus, those deep and frosty eyes of his were like ice blades piercing Naya’s face.

Naya had never seen such a deep and cold gaze, so her heart skipped a beat as she panicked.
