The moment Faye finished up her tasks, the police came knocking on her car window. Faye stepped out of the car and cooperatively gave a statement to the police.When asked about her rescue efforts, Faye added a touch of exaggeration, saying, "The situation was dire. I was driving cautiously. So, this allowed me to maneuver and avoid the crash. However, the car behind me was speeding and couldn't brake in time. I watched the collision happen. Thankfully, the other cars behind managed to stop in the nick of time."She vividly recounted the scene and added, "I didn't overthink it. I just felt that with such a massive fire, the people inside the car were in grave danger if they didn't get out. From a young age, my mom taught me to stand up for what's right and never back down when it's time to act. Plus, I've had some nursing training, so I know how to provide urgent assistance. That's why I didn't hesitate to help."The police commended Faye, praising her for not exceeding the speed
After leaving the police station, Faye made her way to the hospital to see Flora. Her mind was only at ease after confirming Flora was recovering. Before leaving, she instructed the nurse not to trust anyone and to avoid giving Flora any medication, including prescriptions from the hospital, except for what Faye provided. She also arranged for two bodyguards to stand watch at the entrance to prevent any unwanted disturbances.After taking care of these matters, she remembered the issue involving Dr. Quinn and sought out Dr. Ziegler.From Dr. Ziegler, she learned that Dr. Quinn was already under investigation, and several unethical activities had been uncovered. However, no charges had been filed yet."Ms. Brown, you should understand that Dr. Quinn has some influential connections," Dr. Ziegler explained. "The hospital has conducted a comprehensive investigation into Flora's case, but convicting him solely on this basis might prove difficult."Faye smirked. "Don't worry abo
Ruth walked into the police station with Anthon. Within a few minutes, all the chief police officers came out. Roughly half an hour later, she successfully met the Brown family trio. Ruth then escorted them out of the station with one of the police officers by her side.At the station entrance, Ruth looked disdainfully at the disheveled Brown family. "Don't assume that rescuing my Grandpa means you can exploit the Keane family," she told Anthon. " Grandpa used my connections to secure your release, so there are no lingering obligations between you and the Keane family."Anthon lowered his gaze and smiled. "Understood, Ms. Keane. Mr. Keane Senior did me a significant favor, and I am immensely grateful. How could I dare harbor ulterior motives? Moreover, I never intended to inconvenience Mr. Keane Senior. It just so happened that he overheard my call and generously offered help. Meeting someone as magnanimous as him has been an immense stroke of luck for me."Anthon's comment su
"I..." Faye showed a nervous and fearful expression. She clutched at her wound and glanced uneasily at Hank. As expected, Faye received a warning look from him. She lowered her head and stayed silent.Hank smiled and stepped forward. "Officer, my girlfriend is a bit timid. Your sudden intrusion scared her. Plus, she hurt her shoulder because of an accident I caused. She's too frightened to speak now."Hank tried comforting Fyae by putting his arm around her shoulder, but she swiftly avoided him.She shouted anxiously, "Don't touch me!" Her eyes were filled with fear and unease, far from what one would expect from a romantic relationship.The police officer immediately noticed something was off and continued to question Faye. "Ma'am, you don't need to be scared. Just tell me honestly, are you in a romantic relationship with this man?"She hesitated and glanced at Hank again. Seeing his threatening expression, she covered her head. "I ... I can't say. He's... he's Hank Shaw. H
Time seemed to stand still in that moment.Faye didn't know how to describe her own feelings anymore.She wanted to push Cedric away, but she felt like it would be an overreaction. However, if she didn't, she would feel extremely awkward.Cedric stiffened for a moment before gently embracing her. Then, he patted her back gently and comforted her.Faye had the sudden urge to dig herself a hole and hide in it forever. She honestly had no intention of throwing herself into Cedric's embrace.Faye had only stumbled into Cedric's arms because the man had suddenly tugged her toward him. She hadn't been paying attention and had accidentally stepped on a thick rope that Hank had left on the ground. And then …That's right. She ended up slipping and falling into Cedric's arms.She was in a dilemma at that moment. She didn't know what was the right thing to do.Although she didn't know why Cedric was here, he did seem genuinely concerned about her. If she were to push him away just li
The corners of Faye's mouth twitched. She couldn't quite put her feelings into words but she couldn't help but feel that something was a little off.She thought that she had found herself an ordinary man and had intended to conceal her true identity. She wanted to complete her mission secretly, then enjoy a peaceful life with him.Who knew that the random person she picked up was someone so distinguished?In fact, Cedric was the cream of the crop. It was a weird feeling for Faye.However, when she saw the sudden fear on Hank's face, her mood improved considerably. In a situation like this, at least she wasn't the one who was dealt the greatest shock.By this point, Hank was beyond terrified. He initially thought that he had found support and tried to turn the situation in his favor, yet he ended up failing miserably.Faye raised an eyebrow and shot him a provocative smile. Hank's jaw dropped immediately and his eyes widened.Faye smiled in satisfaction and felt the stran
Cedric smiled faintly as he met Faye's eyes. He shot her a flirtatious look and said, "I don't care. If I do get in trouble, then so be it. If the head of the Shaw family can't even protect his own wife from being mistreated, then what use would being in a position of power be?"Cedric then leaned closer to Faye and smiled seductively. "Mrs. Shaw, are you perhaps worried for me?"Faye was rendered speechless for a moment."Mr. Shaw, you're the head of the Shaw family. Why would you need me to worry for you?" Faye forced a smile and chuckled lightly. She implied that she had feigned her worry, not wanting to create any unnecessary trouble for herself. In fact, she was already ready to leave.Cedric followed her as they descended the stairs. Mason, who was standing guard outside, came in to clean up the scene. He then made a trip to the police station.Cedric smiled and said to Faye flirtatiously,"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't need them to worry about me. But you're an except
Before this, Cedric had been suspicious of Faye's identity more than once. All the occurrences and details he had noticed in the past indicated that Faye and Dr. Connor shared countless commonalities. Firstly, Faye's grandmother's maiden name was Connor. Also, when Dr. Connor was performing Flora's surgery, Faye had barged into the operating room. She had only left after it was done and no one had seen Dr. Connor enter or leave the operating room. Nor was it recorded in the surveillance footage.But since Dr. Connor had always been a very mysterious and secretive person, Cedric never thought too much about it.However, Faye also coincidentally showed up at that restaurant. She had also been filmed using the restaurant's strange phone. That was what incited Cedric's suspicions. It was just that Cedric wasn't sure which identity of Faye's was actually hers.It was also because he knew that Faye and Dr. Connor was somehow related, and that was why he left without hesitatio
