Lila burst into tears and ran out of the hospital after being questioned by Ethan. She had nowhere else
to go. She didn’t dare to head home, nor did she have any friends who would be willing to take her in.
She could only stay in a hotel for the time being. She had no idea what to do next at all.
After eating a meal, she hid in the hotel room and cried sorrowfully for hours on end. She knew that she
was left with no other choice now. Even though Ethan hadn’t gotten any hard evidence to prove that
she did it, he would probably still tell Beal and Johanna about it. They would be really disappointed in
her. She had no idea if they would kick her out after they learned about this. Lila cried all night long.
She was flustered and scared, at a complete loss of what to do next. No one could get her out of this fix
now.
At this time, she suddenly thought of Zoe. She proceeded to give Zoe a call. Charis had been waiting
for Lila’s call this entire time.
“What’s the matter? How was your day today?”
“Something happened to Janet’s parachute today. It malfunctioned ans she fell into the forest!” Lila said
while weeping at the same time.
“Is she dead? No… I mean, how could such a thing happen? Was she hurt?” Charis was so excited to
hear the news.
Fortunately, she was talking to Lila on the phone now and Lila couldn’t see just how excited she was.
Lila cried even more bitter tears and filled her in on the whole story.
All of a sudden, there was no response from Charis.
“Zoe? Are you still there? Hello?” Lila called out her name several more times.
“Yes, for a moment there, I was only trying to help you figure this out. You can’t make up lies to defend
your actions now. I suggest you admit to it and apologize for the matter. Try acting like you really regret
it. I believe your parents still love you. If they saw your regret, at least they wouldn’t kick you out of the
family.”
“But I dare not see them right now.” Lila blew her nose into a tissue. Charis heaved out a long sigh and
said, “You have to do this. If you don’t say something now, it only means that you don’t regret doing this
at all. In this way, your parents will only grow more disappointed in you.”
After hearing this, Lila stopped her tears and asked, “Should I head out and go see them now?”
Charis rolled her eyes to the ceiling and said, “It’s midnight now. Your parents might have already gone
to bed. Bring gifts to the hospital to see them tomorrow morning and make sure you act sincere!”
After hanging up, it was hard for Charis not to curse Lila’s stupidity. How stupid was she really? She
actually divulged the truth? To make sure everything happened according to her foolproof plan, Charis
never intended to get Lila involved too much. Lila was only the bait to get Janet out in the field.
Charis had bought off Lila’s coach and had her tamper with Janet’s parachute. In that case, even if Lila
saw that the string was tampered with, she would have nothing to do with it. Charis never expected that
Lila would actually be so stupid. “What an idiot!” Charis rubbed her aching temple with her fingers and
cursed out loud. From this point on, the Whites, Janet, and Brandon would be on guard against Lila.
But Charis could do nothing about it now. It had already happened.
The only thing she could do now was try to help Lila stay in the White family. After all, Janet didn’t
perish in the accident. Lila might become useful to her again some other time. Charis hoped in her
heart that she could continue using Lila as her pawn.
