Chapter 2297
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Jeremy did not beat about the bush either. His cold gaze looked straight into Naya's panicked eyes as he retorted ruthlessly.
âDo you know the meaning of the word âvictimâ? How thick is your face to be able to say such a thing, huh?â
â2â Naya's cheeks heated up when she heard the words. Embarrassment overwhelmed her instantly.
Naya tried to explain and rebut, but she heard Jeremy's cold voice again.
âI think everyone present, except for Mr. Mendez, knows exactly whatâs the truth of the matter that went viral on the internet. You can't just rely on your one-sided statement to clear your name. My wife was right to say that youâre a cruel and despicable woman. Not only are you cruel and despicable, but youâre also very insidious.â ° Jeremy did not show any respect for her at all, and his eyes were even sharper now.
âNaya, you know best in your heart whoâs the real mastermind behind Danielâs car accident. Don't try to argue. I, Jeremy Whitman, promise that one day, youâ ll end up in jail.â
"..."
Naya's face looked even more off-colored now. There were so many people in the room, so if she continued to be silent, she would be regarded tacitly agreeing to these accusations. Hence, she opened her mouth to refute.
âJeremy, how dare you twist the facts to slander me in order to help your wife?! Iâll definitely sue you!â
âHeh.â Jeremy sneered indifferently. âI'd like to see how youâre going to sue me, Miss Mendez.â
"...."
Jeremy was not bothered at all and turned around gracefully after saying this.
Naya froze in place dumbly as Jeremy's figurequickly disappeared.
Before she could react, Ethan strode out. âMr. Whitman.â
Ethan called out to Jeremy as if he was trying to apologize for the incident.
Naya felt very embarrassed. When she looked back and saw that the senior executives were looking at her strangely, she gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction and turned to leave.
As soon as she exited the room, she saw Ethan coming out of the elevator.
Naya immediately went over to him. âDaddy,â she called out to Ethan pamperedly and was about to complain.
However, before she could utter a word, Ethan suddenly raised his hand and slapped her face heavily.
When the group of senior executives who were just coming out of the conference room saw this scene, they suddenly felt that they did not know whether to go back inside or continue walking. Naya was even more dumbfounded and felt ashamed. However, she was more shocked than anything else.
âDaddy, d-did you just hit me?â Naya asked, covering her face in disbelief.
Ethan's face was ashen with anger. âHave you not caused enough trouble? Do you still think that youâve done nothing wrong at all?â
âWhat did I do wrong?â Naya stubbornly said, â Those outsiders are all ganging up to take action against me. Iâm just fighting back. Am I wrong to do so? Youâre my dad, but youâre helping outsiders instead of me? What's so great about Jeremy? Isn't he just the richest man in Glendale? Are we living in poverty? Why should we be scared of him?â
Naya yelled at Ethan in exasperation.
âI'm going to sue Jeremy and Eveline! You might be afraid of Jeremy, but I'm not!â
After Naya roared these words angrily, she covered her face and ran to the elevator.
Ethan tried to stop her, but he was so angry that he almost fainted.
After Naya ran out of Mendez Group angrily, she was still unconvinced no matter how she thought about it.
