Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 2194

“What’s going on here? Daniel, did you just say that your engagement to Naya is just an act?” Mr.

Mendez immediately questioned him.

Daniel nodded with a solemn expression and explained, “That’s right. Naya was the one who

suggested it. We did all of this just to appease my grandfather so that his condition will hopefully

stabilize.”

Mr. Mendez looked incredulously at Naya, who looked livid as she stood on stage without saying a

word.” Naya, is what Daniel said true?”

“…” At that moment, Naya did not know what to say to him. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Mendez was furiously defending her. “Why would Naya joke about such an important

event like her own marriage? Obviously, it’s because of this vixen! I bet she couldn’t bear seeing Daniel

and Naya get married, so she came here to make trouble! Can’t you all see it? It’s that simple!”

As Mrs. Mendez elaborated, she grew even more emotional. She pointed her finger at Ava, laughing

with contempt.

“This woman has no influential family behind her to back her up. She’s just a pretty face! Clearly, she’s

trying to climb her way up and become the daughter-in-law of a rich family! Naya, on the other hand, is

a young lady who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She’s the perfect match for Daniel. Can’t

you guys see who’s the ugly duckling and who’s the swan?!

“And Daniel, I can’t believe you.” Mrs. Mendez accused him with a righteous tone. “Don’t you know that

your grandfather’s condition is still unstable? How can you even think of provoking him? Aren’t you

worried that your grandfather will get admitted to the ICU again?”

Mrs. Mendez threatened Daniel with Old Master Graham again to remind Daniel to watch himself, but

as soon as she said those words, she heard a cold snort from behind.

“Tsk!”

When Mrs. Mendez looked over, she saw that it came Maisie.

She knew Maisie. Maisie Lowe came from a family as influential as the Mendez family. However, since

Mrs. Mendez did not want to offend the Lowe family, she ignored Maisie’s snort.

Even so, Maisie was not going to stop just there. “A lie sounds sweet but a truth tastes bitter, Mrs.

Mendez. I suppose parents can also be as hypocritical as their children.”

Mrs. Mendez’s expression changed as she looked at Maisie, who was targeting her, with surprise.

“What are you on about?”

“Oh, you know exactly what I’m talking about.” Maisie shrugged nonchalantly. “I just happened to

record some of the conversations too, so why don’t we all gather around and listen?”

Maisie was extremely straightforward and said only what was needed to be said before she put her

phone up to everyone and played an audio recording.

The audio played and it was a conversation that had taken place in the lounge a short while earlier.

Everyone could clearly hear that it was Mrs. Mendez and Mrs. Graham secretly rejoicing because they

could use the excuse of Old Master Graham being sick, which was not even true, to force Daniel into

marrying Naya.

In fact, all of them knew that Old Master Graham was never sick and that the fake engagement was

something that both of them came up with. Only Daniel was kept in the dark by it.

When she played the recording to everyone, the crowd was stunned, while Mrs. Graham’s face flushed

with shock.

Naya was at a loss for words and could not believe that Maisie would help Ava like that.

After Daniel heard the audio recording, he was calm. After a few seconds, he smiled.

Ava thought that Daniel was about to go crazy from all the mind games, so she quickly asked him with

concern, “Daniel, are you okay?”

“Heh.” Daniel let out another laugh. When he looked at Mrs. Graham, his eyes flickered. “You guys

joined forces and put on a show to get me to marry someone I don’t like? You even conspired with the

people in the hospital to make me believe that Grandpa was seriously ill?”

“…” Mrs. Graham looked awkward. At that moment, she did not know how to explain herself. “Daniel,

actually that’s not…”

“This is simply outrageous.” Daniel let out a light chuckle. Then, a stern light burst from his eyes.

“Listen clearly. No matter what happens in the future, I will never give up on the woman I love again.”

When he said that, he grabbed Ava’s hand before pulling out the velvet ring box from his pocket and

opening it in front of Ava.
