Chapter 377
At the beginning, Mia had Molly dig out who Chad's competitor was, and who that person's backers
were.
Knowing his identity, Mia used the advantage of the fast and wide-ranging dissemination of the internet,
and directly involved the public, allowing public opinion to ferment and force the relevant government
departments to investigate their relationship.
However, she didn't expect that the news she had Leo release last night would instantly explode half
the sky today.
Mia searched for this news and was startled. This was her first time stirring such a mess, and she had
lost control of how it was developing.
Originally just a small topic, slowly gaining traction and traffic. However, this morning, Chad's car
accident seemed to act as a catalyst, instantly propelling the small topic to a climax as it captured the
attention of the public.
She quietly asked her husband with concerns, "Honey, what do we do?"
Andre comforted his wife, "Don't be afraid, I'll contact Chad and see what's going on his end."
Just last night, his nephew had told him that Chad was driving to West Meadows today. How did he
have a car accident on the way?
His wife was a smart cookie, she wouldn't do something this reckless.
Or else, someone didn't want Chad to investigate this matter.
Mia said, "I just called Molly, Chad's phone is unreachable, they are all at the hospital."
Early in the morning, Chad saw his sister off to work, then drove to West Meadows to meet with Ellory
and Kyle.
However, halfway there, at an intersection, a large truck seemed to be unable to brake and was hurtling
towards Chad's car.
The road was newly built and the monitoring facilities were not yet fully functional. The driver of the
truck was wearing a mask, and seemed to have planned the crash.
With sparse traffic around, Chad saw the large truck charging towards him and immediately changed
lanes. But it was clear that the target was him.
He changed lanes, and the truck also moved in his direction.
At the moment of impact, Chad, a seasoned cop, knew how to reduce his injuries to the minimum. He
instantly released his seatbelt, leapt to the passenger side, opened the car door to lessen the impact.
The head of the truck crushed the driver's side door. If Chad had still been sitting in the driver's seat, he
would've been the one crushed.
This scene was captured on video by a passerby and posted online. Other cars waiting at the traffic
light also captured the entire scene on their dashcams.
The truck fled the scene.
Chad was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Someone recognized Chad in the video and, in connection with the news on the internet, it sparked
public outcry demanding a thorough investigation.
Mia was terrified when she woke up. She immediately contacted Molly, "Molly, where are you?"
Molly sounded as if she had been crying for a long time, she said, "I'm at the hospital, Mia, I can't talk
right now."
When she saw the news, it felt as if her world had collapsed. She didn't know how badly her brother
was injured.
At the office, Molly's tears instantly streamed down her face, she ran to her mother's office, crying and
showing her the news.
When Coleen saw that her son had been in a car accident, and the driver's seat was crushed, she
nearly passed out.
Molly was so frightened that her hands felt cold. She held Coleen's hand and, left all her work, the Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
mother and daughter rushed to the hospital.
By the time they got there, Kendrick was already waiting in the emergency room.
Seeing him, the mother and daughter couldn't help but cry.
"Honey, how is our son?" Coleen's voice was trembling.
They only had Chad left, Jade was already gone. If they lost Chad too, she would go crazy.
Kendrick tightly hugged his wife, "Our son is okay, don't be afraid."
Molly stared at the door of the emergency room with red eyes. It was the first time she experienced
what it meant to have a completely blank mind.
When Andre contacted her, Molly couldn't help but sob, "Bro, what do we do?"
The family was in complete chaos, Andre quickly signed a contract with the other party. He had to rush
back.
"Molly, don't cry, I will be back soon."
Upon hearing Andre's words, it was as if she had found her dependency from her childhood years, she
felt like a little girl who had done something wrong, running into Andre's arms, asking him, "Bro, what
do we do?"
No matter what happened, Andre would always comfort her, "It's okay, I am here."
Sixteen years later, Andre was still comforting his sister, "Don't cry, I am here."
Upon hearing Andre's voice, Molly couldn't control her emotions.
Someone, likely a fan of Chad's, anonymously started a thread detailing all of Chad's achievements
over the years, including the medals and certificates he had won. All these could be verified on the
internet.
Once the news broke, it further stirred up public resentment. The official blog was flooded with
comments demanding a thorough investigation to clear Chad's name.
The Walton family.
Finley was looking at the news online, he smashed his teacup in anger.
"Who did this? Who revealed Wyatt, Mr. Marlow, and Brian on the internet!" He was old and his shout
came with a violent cough.
He had a well-thought-out plan, to target Chad today. On one hand, it would prevent him from further
investigating what happened sixteen years ago, and on the other, it would help Wyatt eliminate
obstacles and assist him in smoothly ascending to power. Everything was meticulously planned. But
who was it that, last night, pushed this information to trend, making it known to the entire nation and
even pressuring the police to solve the case?
Finley was so furious that his teeth were grinding and his eyes were bloodshot.
He felt like he had a lump of old blood in his throat, and he was about to be killed by the news.
Tom didn't expect things to escalate to this point either.
If he hadn't driven the truck to hit Chad, perhaps things wouldn't have gotten this big, and he could
probably have settled this with money. But he didn't see the news, he hit Chad in the morning, and by
noon, the whole nation knew.
In the fallout, Mr. Marlow was under investigation, Wyatt was suspended, and Brian was taken away for
questioning.
Also, a pair of detectives was assigned specifically to investigate Chad's car accident.
Within a span of two hours, all of Finley's men were under control.
Andre received a call from Mars while he was waiting at the airport lounge.
"Andre, you sure have a lot of lucky stars," Mars teased his friend while scrolling through the news,
"One news article took down all your opponents.
Let's count, shall we? Victim 1: Mr. Marlow helped the Marshal Group secure funding last year, which
saw them through a crisis. But this year, someone capitalized on that news and painted the two as
corrupt partners in crime.
Victim 2: The Marshal Group, which you've been pressuring, barely caught their breath before another
news article landed them in hot water.
Victim 3: Wyatt and Chad were competitors. Just when Wyatt was about to taste victory, a car accident
this morning completely finished him off. Now, the whole net is rooting for Chad.
Do you think these three guys are so unlucky that they might choke to death on a sip of water?"
