The reason why Marina did not doubt Ryder was that she knew that Ryder would not do such an obvious thing. He was a person who tortured his wife for a few years for a divorce. With such patience, he would never let himself fall into trouble.
Marina remembered that in the original book, there were [chapter_end]
Chapters about Ryder’s car accident.
However, Marina didn’t take it seriously and didn’t remember many plots.
Because Ryder was in a car accident and was saved by the female lead, Maeve, with the good care of Maeve, Ryder’s cold heart showed signs of warmth.
The car accident was the beginning of the attraction between the male and female leads.
However, the plot had been tampered with, and the person in the car accident had become Shawn.
The speed of the car was too fast and hit the mountain. It was serious. However, Ryder in the original text was not hurt badly, so Marina hoped that Shawn wouldn’t be hurt badly as well.
Marina held back her tears. No matter how calm she was, she was still shocked by this news.
“How is Shawn?”
Marina looked at Ryder. As long as there was something wrong with his expression, she would stop him immediately. She didn’t want to know the bad news!
“Don’t worry. I’ve already called Norton and asked him to do his best to save Shawn.”
Shawn was unconscious and was still in the ICU.
The police called Maeve again, but Maeve’s phone was off.
It was Maeve again. Marina couldn’t help but doubt whether the accident had anything to do with Maeve.
Although she hated the female lead, it was unlikely that the car accident was related to Maeve.
First of all, how did Maeve know that Shawn was driving Ryder’s car? However, it was a little suspicious since the meeting was arranged to be in Mount Flave.
Mount Flave was located in a remote place, and they had to meet at a place so far away. What was Maeve’s purpose?
Ever since Shawn learned the truth, he had been calm enough.
What men could not tolerate the most were cheating and betrayal, and Maeve had done both.
“I asked Kenny to send a car. It’s downstairs.”
Ryder looked at the time and prepared to go to the hospital.
“Alright.”
Marina didn’t say anything. She hurried downstairs with Ryder. They sat in the car and Ryder’s phone rang again.
Marina covered her ears and leaned to the side. She didn’t want to hear any bad news about Shawn!
Seeing Marina’s action, Ryder quickly hung up the phone and held her hand.
“Shawn is still in a coma. Don’t worry, the operation is successful.”
The operation was successful, but Shawn’s brain had suffered a lot of damage. Even if he woke up, he might become a vegetable.
Ryder concealed this cruel news.
As long as Shawn was alive, there was hope, so they were waiting for a miracle.
“Isn’t it the news about my brother?”
Marina blinked and wiped her tears with her hand.
Marina felt the same as the original female lead. In this strange world, only her father and brother give her a sense of belonging. Without relatives, what was the difference between her and a wandering soul?
“No, the car is mine. The other party is targeting me.”
Ryder took the initiative to speak frankly, but the one behind the scheme was still hiding in the dark. The time when the other party planned to act was when he drove the car to the underground garage.
Coincidentally, the surveillance cameras in the garage just happened to not be able to function. As for what exactly the person looked like, the cameras did not capture it.
So Ryder didn’t think it was easy to figure out who did it.
“Do you have any enemies?”
Making the brake of the car dysfunctional was really deadly! Moreover, the other party did not choose to do it in Jin City, but City J. It was unknown if it was a sudden idea or if it had already been planned.
“Enemies?”
Ryder lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.
In the business field, there was victory and defeat, life and death. No one is merciful, so there should be many enemies, right?
Ryder’s style was ruthless, and he liked to eliminate potential dangers. For this reason, he might have offended many people. However, he did not expect that the other party would find an opportunity to attack.
When they arrived at the hospital, Marina stood outside the ICU. Shawn was covered with tubes and bandages all over his body. It seemed that he was seriously injured.
“Ms. White, I’m really sorry. Because the patient was in a critical condition at that time, we could only choose to save him first.”
The hospital stipulated that the operation had to be approved and signed by family members. At that time, they could not contact the family members of the patient, and the operation couldn’t be delayed. The hospital could only choose to save Shawn first.
“It was urgent. I have to thank you.”
Marina understood the decision of the hospital and chatted with the doctor in charge of the operation. The doctor was told by Ryder to not tell the truth to Marina.
“Ms. White.”
On the bench sat Shawn’s assistant, Lia. Something had happened to the company. Those shareholders had got the news that the project had failed and wanted to blame Shawn. However, Shawn had a car accident, and Lia did not know what to do.
The news must be concealed to stabilize the stock price of the White Group.
Who released the news? Apart from Maeve, there was no one else.
Marina sighed. She didn’t know how to deal with it.
“Also, the White family called just now…”
Lia wanted to say something but couldn’t say anything for a while. Marina called back home and found out that her father’s blood pressure was high and that he also lived in the hospital.
“What is going on? How did Dad know?”
Marina asked the maid at home. She had just received the news not long ago. Calculating the time, Markus knew the news at the same as her.
“There was a woman who called home. She wanted to talk to Markus about something very important.”
The maid trembled and explained the reason. Marina slammed the phone angrily. It was Maeve again. She was going too far!
“Ms. White, what are we going to do with the company?”
Lia was anxious. At that moment, Marina had to pacify those shareholders for a while.
There was a project in the White Group that was canceled by Shawn, and while Shawn was unconscious, some wanted to stir up trouble again.
“Tell them that we are all in the same boat. If they want to take advantage of the falling stock price and take the opportunity to get promoted, they have to ask if I agree!”
Marina glanced at Ryder. It was a critical period, and she had to make use of Ryder.
In any case, she was still Ryder’s wife. Those shareholders would be afraid of offending the Langdon family. Marina had to threaten them first. As for other things, they could talk about it later.
“Alright.”
Lia peeked at Ryder and found that he nodded. Lia then quickly turned to make a phone call.
“Don’t worry. Shawn was injured because of me. I won’t ignore it.”
Ryder made a promise. Not only the White family but also the White Group were all under his protection.
“You should also pay more attention. I’m afraid that you might be attacked again.”
Since the culprit was not caught, it meant that Ryder was not safe. Marina was deeply worried.
At that time, Marina realized that she was useless and could not deal with these things decisively, including the White Group. Shawn had always been the one to fight on the frontline.
