Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
The next morning, inside the Quan Family Home.
After an entire night, news of Emma’s car accident had spread to every corner of New York. Quan Ziye never cared about who was at the top of the headlines, but today, his housekeeper found a video online and placed it in front of him.
“Young Master…look at this.”
Quan Ziye lazily opened his eyes, his gaze containing a slight charm, making him resemble a kitten that had just awoken.
“What r*bbish are you trying to show me?” Quan Ziye received his phone from the housekeeper and started playing the video. However, after 2 minutes, he suddenly sat up straight. “So, she went to be an assistant for Emma. No wonder I searched all over New York and couldn’t find her.”
“Have you called the hospital to confirm her current condition?”
“Yes, Young Master,” the housekeeper nodded. “The Second Miss was lucky. She only suffered minor injuries, nothing serious.”
After hearing this, Quan Ziye let out a laugh, “She tried so hard to hide from me, but what was the point? Didn’t I end up finding her in the end?”
“What does the Young Master have planned?”
“Let’s go to the hospital.” As soon as he was done talking, Quan Ziye jumped up from the sofa and grabbed the keys to his Maserati from the coffee table.
After putting on his sunglasses, he jumped into his car. No words came out of his mouth, but his heart was chanting the words, “I dare you to hide again, Lin Qian.”
Lin Qian did not hurt her arm like Emma did. Her injury was on her head. Although her head scans came out fine, she still ended up unconscious for an entire night. So, she didn’t wake up until the next morning.
Luke had been watching over Lin Qian by her bedside. As soon as she woke up, he handed her a glass of water, “Are you OK?”
Lin Qian slightly nodded her head. Due to the fact that she had been sleeping for so long, it took her a while to find her voice.
“That’s good.”
“How’s Emma and that crazy woman?”
“They’re both fine,” Luke replied. “The Madam only suffered a small injury. But, that crazy woman wasn’t as lucky,” Luke shrugged.
It was good that Emma was fine. Lin Qian once again closed her eyes to get some rest. But, at this time, a man in sunglasses suddenly entered the room. In response, Luke immediately said, “Sir, I think you’ve entered the wrong room.”
Quan Ziye removed his sunglasses and pointed to Lin Qian, “I’m her brother.”
As soon as Luke saw Quan Ziye, he understood what to do. So he glanced at Lin Qian and immediately left the room, giving the siblings some privacy.
As soon as Luke left, Quan Ziye closed the door and locked it. He then walked up to Lin Qian and sat down beside her bed, “Did you enjoy hiding from me?”
Lin Qian closed her eyes, not wanting to say a word.
“Lin Qian, I think I used the wrong strategy on you. That’s why you were hurt for so many years,” Quan Ziye wasn’t angry, but his smile did not look innocent.
Lin Qian immediately opened her eyes and stared at Quan Ziye, “What do you want to do?”
“After you leave the hospital, move in with me…”
“Yes! It’s exactly what you’re thinking – let’s live together!” Quan Ziye said as he pulled out his phone, “Otherwise, I will call my mom right now and tell her about our relationship.”
“You’re going to kill your mother.”
“It’s fine. I’m selfish like that,” Quan Ziye replied smoothly.
“You’re crazy.”
“You forced me to be like this.”
“You’re forcing me into a dead end!” Lin Qian exclaimed. “I’m happy working as Emma’s assistant. I don’t want to live with you. Plus, I can’t be threatened.”
Quan Ziye looked at Lin Qian painfully, like he had been stabbed in the heart, “After so many years, you’re still so difficult to deal with.”
“You should have known this long ago,” Lin Qian replied straightforwardly.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’d kill myself?” Quan Ziye suddenly laughed. “After all, if I was to die, neither of you will be in pain anymore. What do you think of that idea?”
“You don’t need to die. Just stop clinging to me.”
Obviously, their relationship was still at a standstill with no chance of progress. If it was so easy to resolve, all that they had suffered over the years would have been in vain.
Meanwhile, Emma was standing outside the door. She pretty much heard everything that happened inside the room. However, Quan Ziye seemed to be helpless around Lin Qian.
Afterwards, she walked over to Xu Xin’s room. Seeing Xu Xin sitting in bed emotionless, she walked up and looked at her.
“You’re sure lucky that you’re still alive after that,” Xu Xin sneered in ridicule after she saw that Emma was perfectly fine.
“It wasn’t necessary for you to do what you did,” Emma said coldly. “You had a good future ahead of you, yet you decided to make a gamble…”
“That’s right, I took a gamble, so what?” Xu Xin laughed. “Aren’t you happy that I’ll be spending the rest of my life in jail now?”
“You asked for it,” Emma said before she turned around to leave. But, behind her, Xu Xin said, “Emma, you’ve always been good at cleaning up any black marks on your name, but there are some things that you can never clean.”
Emma did not understand what Xu Xin meant and Xu Xin did not explain herself clearly.
Xu Xin had already hit someone with her car, so she couldn’t possibly feel regret.
“I’m actually quite curious how I managed to provoke you,” Emma queried without turning around, “So much so that you’d make such a huge sacrifice and even risk your life.”
“I’m sure you know.”
After receiving this response, Emma left.
How did she know?
Meanwhile, behind her, Xu Xin revealed a mocking smile. She was about to completely destroy Emma.
After visiting the two women, Emma returned to her room to find Luke reporting something to Eric in seriousness.
“Madam, I discovered something.”
“What did you discover?” Emma asked curiously as Luke handed her a piece of information. “Xu Xin has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She is mentally unstable.”
Emma furrowed her brows. Just as she was about to say something, a nurse suddenly knocked on the door and said to the trio, “Miss Xu has just committed suicide.”
“Did she die?” Luke quickly asked.
“Yes, she unfortunately passed away,” the nurse nodded. “As well as cutting her wrist, she also stabbed herself and damaged some vital organs. While we tried to resuscitate her, her heart stopped beating.”
“Not only is she ruthless to others, she’s also ruthless to herself,” Luke sighed.
“Also…” the nurse looked a little uncomfortable. After a few moments, she finally said, “She left behind a suicide note saying that Miss Miller is not a good person. She also repeated those words while we were trying to save her.”
“This Xu Xin. Even when she’s dying, she tries to drag others down with her.”
Eric and Emma both looked at Luke. Eric then said, “Immediately handle the PR and keep this under wr*ps. If any news gets leaked, I will hold you liable.”
“Understood, President.”
After hearing what happened, Emma lowered her head in deep thought. In response, Eric pulled her into his arms comfortingly, “This has nothing to do with you.”
But, they were talking about a life: a living, breathing person. Although Emma did nothing wrong, a person had suddenly disappeared from this earth, and it was all due to hatred towards her. So, the news was bound to shock and torment her.
She never expected to experience something like this. Life was precious, so she did not think that someone could just give up on it so easily. Especially not because of her.
“Eric…let’s just call the police. Don’t bother with PR,” Emma suddenly lifted her head and requested. “She left behind a suicide note and so many people heard what she said. It’s the truth. The truth can’t be covered up. Plus, the police will eventually investigate the matter and reveal their findings.”
“Do you know the consequences of this?” Eric asked calmly. “I’ve said it before: you did nothing wrong.”
“Eric, you understand me,” Emma said as she tugged Eric’s arm. “Even if you manage to cover up the truth for now, what will we do when it gets uncovered? I prefer to be honest and open. Like you said, I did nothing wrong. So, why should I be afraid?”
Eric looked deep into Emma’s eyes. At this moment, all he felt was anger, “This is New York and this matter involves the entertainment industry. You will only be wrong if I say you are. Otherwise, no one will dare say so.”
After he was done talking, Eric gave Luke a phone call, “Immediately call the police and tell them everything that happened in detail.”
“But, the news will definitely look bad.”
