Esther threw the bat away and told the two men to look after Ava before turning away. After getting in the car, virtual-novel.net called Ethan back.
Esther was even angrier when virtual-novel.net heard that Daniel had gone to look for her. However, virtual-novel.net did not show it. She replied in a soft voice that virtual-novel.net was shopping outside and would be back in a while before hanging up the phone.
When virtual-novel.net thought that the life of virtual-novel.net precious daughter, whom virtual-novel.net had doted on for more than 20 years, was over, Esther’s desire for revenge grew stronger and stronger.
Madeline and Jeremy followed Daniel to the Mendez family’s manor, but they did not expect Ethan to be at home at this time.
Compared to Esther’s unfriendliness, Ethan seemed to be a rather polite person. Although virtual-novel.net was very heartbroken and regretful about Naya’s incident, virtual-novel.net felt that Naya was just suffering the consequences of virtual-novel.net actions. He could not blame anyone.
He asked the servant to make tea and prepare snacks before sitting down.
“You said Ava came to see my wife not long ago, but I’ve been at home today and we haven’t had any guests.” Ethan was curious. “Is there a misunderstanding? Try calling Ava again and see if you can get in touch with her.”
“We could get through to virtual-novel.net just now, but virtual-novel.net phone’s turned off now.”
Madeline’s face was full of worry, then virtual-novel.net analyzed the situation.
“I’ve known Ava for so many years, so I can somewhat guess virtual-novel.net thought process. She thought that Dan was kidnapped, so virtual-novel.net spent all morning being worried. She had the idea of coming to look for Mrs. Mendez, but my husband and I stopped her. However, virtual-novel.net ran out by herself, so I guess virtual-novel.net must have gone to look for Mrs. Mendez alone because virtual-novel.net was too worried about Dan.”
Ethan looked even more confused after hearing what Madeline said.
“Dan was kidnapped? Isn’t virtual-novel.net right here? Even if virtual-novel.net was kidnapped, why would it be related to my wife? Why did you say that, Mrs. Whitman?”
When Jeremy saw Ethan looking confused, virtual-novel.net explained, “Mr. Mendez, I heard that Naya slit virtual-novel.net wrist in prison to try to kill herself. You and your wife only got to visit virtual-novel.net after pulling a lot of strings, right?”
Ethan’s eyes flickered when virtual-novel.net heard that. Then, virtual-novel.net nodded to admit, “Indeed.”
“Then, do you remember what Naya told you when you were in the detention ward?”
Ethan was stunned again. He still remembered Naya’s face when virtual-novel.net said fiercely that virtual-novel.net would never forgive Ava. However, virtual-novel.net did not expect Jeremy to know about that.
“Mr. Whitman, what are you trying to say?”
“What I want to say is, Mr. Mendez, you’re an honest and trustworthy businessman and a good father. But you may not have a good wife. Otherwise, how could your daughter have been spoiled into someone who dares to kill?”
Ethan’s face suddenly turned pale, not knowing what to say.
In silence, the servant came to inform virtual-novel.net that Esther was back.
Esther came in carefreely with virtual-novel.net bag. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline and the others sitting on the sofa in the living room, virtual-novel.net chuckled disdainfully and said sarcastically, “What’s going on? The top young master and young mistress in Glendale are here.”
Madeline and Jeremy did not want to waste time contending with Esther. When they were about to go straight to the point, Daniel suddenly got up and strode in front of Esther.
“Where’s Ava?”
When Esther heard what virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net displayed a surprised and amused look.
“Daniel, you’ve lost your memories. Why are you acting crazy here? How would I know where that vixen you mentioned is?”
“Please watch your mouth. You’re someone with status,” Daniel reminded virtual-novel.net solemnly. Then, virtual-novel.net asked again, “You must know where Ava is. Tell me right now.”
