Chapter 1250
“Or should I say that Jonathan is sure that even if he let Rosalie stay in Lommore, her heart will not be wavered by others anymore?” Calvin wondered.
“Indeed, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s me who thinks too much,” Calvin said lightly.
With that, Calvin turned around and planned to return to the hall.
“Calvin!” Rosalie called out, “Thank you for helping Riley earlier.”
Calvin flashed her a smile. “You’re welcome.” In truth, the person Calvin wanted to help was not Riley but Rosalie.
As long as Rosalie wanted to do something, Calvin was willing to give everything to her and help her achieve it. However, such a gesture of goodwill was somewhat redundant now and would also add to her troubles.
Perhaps everything was good this way.
When Calvin and Rosalie returned to the main hall, they heard Bruce saying to Riley, “What you said today better be true. If someone deliberately set up the car crash, I will definitely find out the culprit and let Nic rest in peace. However, if you made up the story because you don’t want to face the truth you were the reason for Nic’s death and that you are in fear of retaliation from the Griffin family, then…”
Before Bruce could finish his words, Riley said right away, “If it turns ou that I’m lying, I will pay Nicholas with my life!”
Everyone in the hall was surprised by Riley’s words.
Rosalie hurriedly said, “Riley, how could you say that? You’re wasting Nicholas’s effort to save you.”
An ethereal smile that seemed nostalgic crept on Riley’s face. “But Nicholas doesn’t know how much I want to accompany him. If we can’t find the murderer and unravel the truth in the end, I may as well accompany him.”
Riley’s dark eyes were full of determination.
Those were Riley’s feelings for Nicholas.
At that moment, Rosalie only felt her throat burning and was at a loss for words.
After leaving the Griffin residence, Rosalie accompanied Riley to an apartment. Although the apartment was not large, which was more than 540 square feet in area, it was sufficient for one to live in.
“I’ve rented this place for a year and paid the rent. You may stay here in the meantime. Also, I’ve already transferred some money to your account. It should be enough to support your life for a while,” Rosalie said.
“Are you leaving Lommore soon?” Riley asked.
“I’ll probably stay here for another week to complete some final work. I was worried about leaving you alone in Lommore at first and was thinking of inviting you to go to Strico with me. But now, I can see there are still things you haven’t settled yet. Moreover, it’s about the Griffin family. I’m more relieved if you act with them. After you settle things here and feel like going to Strico, just come anytime you like. Both Amelia and I welcome you very much.”
“By the way, how’s Amelia?” Riley asked anxiously.
“She’s still trying her best to prevent her baby from a miscarriage in the past few days. If a C-section is necessary, she will have it. But no one can tell what will happen at that time…” Rosalie replied. That was also why she wanted to return to Strico as soon as possible to see Amelia.
Riley’s face was filled with guilt. “If it weren’t for me, Amelia might not need to prevent her baby from miscarriage like this.”
“It has nothing to do with you. Amelia has a high-risk pregnancy this time. The doctor already suggested she have an abortion before, but she was reluctant to do so. She has prepared for the worst since the day she decided to keep the baby,” Rosalie explained.
Nevertheless, Warren was still the key. If he were willing to save Amelia, he would put himself in danger.
Rosalie wondered if they should let Warren sacrifice himself for Amelia’s life.
Even if Warren did that and Amelia survived, Amelia would never be happy for the rest of her life.
Therefore, they could do nothing besides waiting for a suitable liver.
In this world, no matter how much money and power one had, there were still times when one couldn’t do anything.
In the next few days, the pitiful drama “performed” by the Summer family in front of the reporters at the hospital entrance and the apology article posted by Riley’s attending physician online became a hot topic on the internet.
The police had also announced their involvement in the investigation.
There were all kinds of speculations online. Needless to say, most people believed that the Summer family had indeed forcibly sent their normal and healthy eldest daughter to a psychiatric hospital.
After all, all the shares in Riley’s hands were held by Harriet and Peter on Riley’s behalf after the incident, and Harriet even married Zephyr, Riley’s former fiancé.
No matter how one looked at Harriet, she was the biggest beneficiary of Riley’s incident.
Many netizens were waiting for the follow-up to the story online.
Meanwhile, Harriet almost lost her sanity as she exited the police station. As soon as she came out, the media, who had been waiting there for a long time, directed the flashlights at her.
All kinds of direct questions were constantly thrown at Harriet at the same time.
Harriet could only keep her head lowered and quickly got in the ca under the escort of the bodyguards.
The police had been interrogating Harriet that day. At the current st even if she wanted to use money to smooth things out, there was no she could do it. After all, that matter had a great impact.
Everyone was staring at the truth of that matter now.
As soon as Harriet got inside the car, she received a call from Peter. However, what Peter told Harriet on the phone made Harriet’s heart sink immediately.
“The doctors who diagnosed Riley before and confirmed that Riley had mental illness couldn’t be contacted now. Harriet, do you think they may have already been controlled like the attending physician? If their confessions are consistent and say that we bribed them, then we…”
Peter’s voice was clearly filled with panic.
When the time came, the Summer family would not only become a target of scorn but also have to bear criminal responsibility.
“How could that be? They were still around when I looked for them the day before yesterday!” Harriet growled.
“I just couldn’t contact them all of a sudden. I was hoping to get them to temporarily stay out of the limelight at first. What should we do now? How about you get Zephyr to figure out a way? He’s the son-in-law of the Summer family. He can’t just sit by and do nothing when something happens to the Summer family,” Peter said anxiously
Hearing that, Harriet only felt that Peter was way too naive.
Peter was an old hand in the business world, after all. He had met a lot of people and known things for so many years. Harriet couldn’t help but wonder how Peter could still be so naive.
Now that the Summer family had reached such a state, Zephyr would have helped them if he wanted to and not delayed it until now.
The Scott family also did not make any move at present. It only showed that they were going to sit by and do nothing.
The hatred in Harriet’s heart grew when she thought of that.
