The people who came to visit her didn’t cause any trouble, quietly handing the flowers and fruit baskets to the nurse, asking her to pass them on to Samantha Sullivan. "Thank you, you can just leave these here." Eleanor Hollis saw the nurse bring these things over and hurriedly took them, then piled them up in the corner of the ward. The ward was already filled with many fruits, all sent by kind-hearted people. Samantha Sullivan looked haggard, sitting on the hospital bed, having lost more than ten pounds. This play was orchestrated by Hugo Quinn for them, and now it seems the effect is quite good. "Can Evan Yancy be released?" Samantha Sullivan asked worriedly. She had been following the news online these past two days, and everyone was siding with them. She believed the Ford Family and the Shaw Family couldn’t hold out much longer. "He will be. Old Master Ford won’t go against public opinion recklessly. His status doesn’t allow it. Even if he wishes to kill Evan Yancy, he must lower his stance now. Don’t worry, Samantha, we just need to complete our task." Samantha nodded, slowly clenching her fists. Neither of them spoke further. Meanwhile, Claire Shaw had already woken up from her coma. She could almost still see Evan Yancy’s expression from that day. She shrank her shoulders in fear, looking at the ceiling with panic in her eyes. "Claire, it’s okay, it’s okay." Felicity Ford was comforting her from the side, having grown haggard over the past few days due to the online situation. "Mom, sobbing, I thought I was really going to die. That Evan Yancy intended to kill me. I won’t let him get away with it..." Felicity Ford also wanted that, but the current situation didn’t allow it. "Claire, you should rest well and focus on getting better. We will talk about these things later." Claire wasn’t foolish; she detected the worry in Felicity’s tone. Did something happen? "Mom, I was put in this state by Evan, and you really don’t want to take revenge for me?" Felicity’s voice suddenly became stern. The whole nation was watching them. If they continued to punish Evan, they would also have to face jail time, otherwise it was hard to appease the public. "Take it slow with this matter; your health is most important." But Claire wouldn’t agree. What she said at home had always been law, and now Evan’s existence was threatening her life. Yet, her mother, who usually doted on her the most, was evading the topic. Did she plan not to help her? "Mom! I won’t let him off, and you must help me, along with grandfather. Isn’t he very capable? With his status, a move of his finger could destroy Evan’s company!!" Felicity slowly closed her eyes, truly regretting at this moment, regretting raising her daughter to have such a spoiled nature. "Claire, take a look at the online news, things have become very complicated. If your grandfather continues to intervene, the whole Ford Family will be in jeopardy. We’ll find a chance to take revenge on Evan later, but now is not the time." Claire suspiciously picked up her phone. Upon seeing the trending topics on Weibo, all scolding the Shaw Family and the Ford Family, her brows furrowed. This time she was the victim, so why was everyone criticizing her? However, when she saw the two videos and a recording, her face instantly turned pale. How did things turn out this way... Check latest chapters at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱 "Claire, if Evan goes to jail, you would also have to go along. The entire nation is watching us, any slight misstep, and both our families will suffer. So let’s settle this privately after the online storm passes, otherwise, I can’t protect you." Claire’s mind went blank. How could she, the esteemed lady of the Shaw Family, end up in jail? "I won’t go to jail!" She trembled as she said this, clenching her fists tightly, her heart feeling as though it had a gaping hole, unbearably painful. What made her even more cold-hearted was that Hugo Quinn actually released that video. Did he know that now her reputation was completely ruined, seen as both vile and malicious in the eyes of netizens? Felicity knew she was feeling awful inside, sighed and patted her shoulder. "Claire, once you recover from your injuries, go abroad. You can’t stay in the country any longer. Spend a few good years abroad before you come back." Claire’s eyes widened, tears streaming down. "Mom, I don’t want to go abroad, I don’t want to leave you all, sobbing, can’t you find another way, surely grandfather has a solution." Felicity shook her head, this situation was beyond reprieve. Even the higher-ups were pressuring their family to resolve it swiftly or face serious consequences. Claire was dazed, eventually her expression turned vicious. "I didn’t even know Samantha was Evan’s woman! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have kidnapped her! This isn’t my fault, I won’t apologize, no matter how much the internet criticizes me!" Felicity watched her , slowly shaking her head, feeling only despair. This woman’s reputation was completely destroyed, the family’s son had chosen to help outsiders, and she, as the mother, had truly failed. Due to pressure from the higher-ups, the Ford Family couldn’t hold out for long, soon releasing a statement saying they would settle this matter privately and wouldn’t press criminal charges against Evan. This was the best resolution for both parties, but after this incident, not only was Claire’s reputation damaged, but even Old Master Ford lost his integrity, with people cursing him to die soon. Old Master Ford, already in a bad mood, fainted again upon seeing those curses. In the afternoon, Hugo Quinn personally went to the police station to fetch Evan Yancy. Evan’s mental state wasn’t great, but upon seeing him, he managed a smile, perhaps not expecting to be released so quickly. "Saved by luck, Hugo." Without these few friends, he probably would have been jailed this time. Moreover, if Hugo hadn’t stopped him at the Shaw Family, he might have really killed Claire, and by now could be sentenced to death. They got into the car, Hugo only then noticed the wound on Evan’s lip. Evan nodded. In the first couple of days, the Ford Family had placed people inside to give him a hard time. "Are you going to see Samantha?" Maybe the two of them could resolve their differences, avoiding each other wasn’t a solution either. Evan’s voice was very soft, reaching out to touch the wound on his lip, fortunately, it wasn’t too serious. The car quickly stopped at the hospital entrance. He and Hugo got out and went to Samantha Sullivan’s ward. Eleanor Hollis was peeling an apple for Samantha and hadn’t expected two men to show up, so she was momentarily stunned when she saw them. Samantha, who had been looking out the window, quickly gathered her thoughts upon hearing footsteps in the ward and turned to see Evan Yancy. Her pupils contracted sharply, her hands on the quilt slowly clenched, and her lips pressed tightly together.
