“Are you sure you don't want us to accompany you while you take the exam?”Maya, who had been eating breakfast, immediately looked up when Evan asked once again about whether Maya really believed they should just escort the girl and didn't have to wait for her to finish the exam. To answer her husband's question, Maya once again confidently replied with a nod. The exam will last for three sessions, with a time of two hours per session.Making Evan and Kevin wait for her for six hours like that was really useless, according to Maya. The girl didn't want to trouble them at this busy time. Moreover, Evan also still has to attend the rehabilitation session for today. Maya wouldn't let the two of them wait for her at the place where the exam was being held. She's just going for a test, there's nothing special about it.“I can take a taxi to go home when the exams are over, Evan. As for your lunch … I've prepared lunches that you can warm up in the microwave later. I'll be fine. I've been st
Thirty minutes before the exam started, a flashy car finally stopped where the exam was to be held. However, since Evan's car window material was arranged so that outsiders could not see what was going on inside the car, one could only guess which other rich people were taking part in the university entrance exams this year. Occasionally people would steal glances at Evan's car, just to see who would get off from the luxury car.Unfortunately, Maya didn't pay much attention to the commotion, as she was busy talking to Evan and Kevin the whole time. Only when the car stopped, Maya finally realize that they had arrived at their destination.“Ah, I have to go,” Maya announced. Evan also noticed their surroundings and finally nodded. The man still couldn't appear openly in public right now. He could only lower the car window to the limit of his head, before he spoke softly to his wife.“Good luck on the exam, Finola,” Evan said in a soft voice. Evan's appearance had clearly caused a sudden
“Hello, my name is Finola. You are Diana, right? The only child of Uncle Anton.”The girl called Diana looked surprised for a moment at Maya's initiative to talk to her. Of course Diana knew who Finola was without the girl needing to introduce herself. Finola is the wife of her father's nephew, Evan. And Diana did not expect, a girl like that would want to greet her first like this time.Luckily, Diana was not like her two-faced father. The girl continued to give Maya a polite smile, before reaching out her hand to accept Maya's outstretched hand.“Nice to meet you, Finola. Are you alone? You can join us for lunch if you don't mind.”Maya blinked and looked at Diana, as she didn't expect a cunning person like Anton to have such an innocent child like Diana. But Maya quickly smiled again, as she accepted the offer without hesitation.“Thank you. I really don't know anyone because I missed one year after marrying Evan,” she said honestly. Diana's tablemates also quickly shifted to let Ma
“You actually dare to act arrogant after marrying Evan, don't you?! After what you did to us, how come you still have the courage to show your face in public?!”Maya calmly looked towards the source of the angry voice. From a distance, Grace walked briskly to pull her roughly in the public. With Grace's meager strength, Maya could actually have knocked the girl to the floor before she could speak again. But many pairs of eyes were watching them right now. Maya took that as an advantage. The girl pretended to be an 'obedient little sister', as her expression immediately changed to a confused face that looked surprised at Grace's arrival.“Sis Grace? Why are you here?”Grace growled even more furiously when she saw people starting to look at her with disapproving faces because of the commotion she was causing. She wanted to forcefully drag Maya away from that place, but a hand firmly suddenly stopped her movement.Maya's expression suddenly changed to surprise when she saw Diana was will
“Argh!”Maya furrowed her brows as a deafening scream reached her ears. Behind the thick glass wall, Maya could see someone else writhing in pain with their eyes bulging and turning red like blood could seep out of her eyes in the next second. The man in front of her was fighting for his life. His bulging eyes stared at Maya angrily. That person's lips said something. His voice was not heard, but Maya clearly knew what the person was talking just from the movement of his lips.“I curse you all to have an unpleasant death like me.”Maya watched as the man slowly stopped his resistance and fell limp not long after. The atmosphere around the research lab instantly fell silent. Maya heard a disappointed sigh from next to her. The other fellow researchers sighed, then shook their heads in disappointment, as if the person who had just died was none of their business.“This one failed too. How dare that fellow swear after what we've done for him all this time? He should be happy to have lived
“Glad to see you're okay, Uncle,” Maya said calmly. The girl didn't miss the slightest change in the expression on Anton's face, as she watched the grown man narrow his eyes slightly when he saw Maya, who was always full of meaning in her every action. The two people stared at each other as if they were trying to understand each other's intentions. The atmosphere between the two of them was definitely not good. However, Diana who was naive immediately approached Maya with slightly reddened eyes.“Finola … Please forgive me for being a nuisance to you at that time. I also can't come to visit you before finishing my exam. I ….”“It's okay. You were just trying to help me. What happened to me back then was completely out of your control, Diana.”Diana stopped talking when Finola gave her a friendly pat and smiled gently. The girl's eyes filled with tears. This was the first time Diana had seen danger that close. And maybe the first time too, someone saved her without hesitation like Maya.
“Why are you looking at me as if I took what you have all along? I just helped Diana, and we become natural friends before. She recognized me as Evan's wife and took the initiative to ask me to be her friend at our first meeting. Diana is a very nice girl, and I thought we could get to know each other better through Diana. But seeing that you don't seem to like our friendship, you've unknowingly made me sad, Uncle.”Anton secretly clenched his fists when Maya dared to imitate what he said about Evan at their first meeting. The man was still trying to put on a friendly face, as he immediately denied Maya's words in a familiar tone.“How can I not be happy to see you have a good relationship with Diana, Finola? Please, don't get me wrong. I'm just tired lately and may have unknowingly offended you with my expression. You saved Diana from a dangerous situation. I'm deeply grateful for that, Finola.”Maya openly smiled mockingly after she heard Anton's sweet words. After Maya had solid evi
In a bustling office, a police officer is tugging at his hair in frustration as he again can't find a thread in a case that has dragged down the name of a prominent family. He had worked day and night to find a bright spot in this case. Yet, every time he tried to do so, he would only be slapped with the harsh reality that he would not find any clues in the case. The case looked so clean that the police were forced to call it a machine malfunction in the accident file.That police officer couldn't give up, no matter how desperate he was right now. It's not just the police who wants to make up for his past mistakes. The police officer had also promised Evan's wife that he would definitely find out what was wrong with the accident report. He promised to help the family solve this complicated case. And he was going to give Evan the justice he deserved all those years ago.“Kris, want to have dinner with us? The captain said he would treat all of us today.”The police officer, who was call
